Downloading Yahoo Messenger for MAC

I am trying to download and install yahoo messenger. Everytime I try to download it, it tries to download a binary file, not the .dmg file necessary to install it. How do I get the .dmg file to download?

A .dmg file is a binary file.
I went to
<http://messenger.yahoo.com/download/mac/>
clicked the Download Now button and Safari downloaded a 22MB disk image file. No problem whatever.
What exactly is your problem?

Hi,
That error message means that you are trying to download the file to a folder that you don't have access to write files to. Try changing the default Downloads location (via Safari Preferences) to your Desktop and retry the download.

Yahoo Messenger for Mac

Why does photosharing and file transfer not work for Yahoo Messenger for Mac?

Hi, tvpappy. On the Yahoo Messenger homepage, it's noted that v. 3.0 Beta requires at least os X 10.4. If you're still running 10.3.x (as the System Info below your post indicates), then that's why YM 3.0 Beta doesn't run on your machine.

Problem with Yahoo Messenger for MAC

my yahoo messenger was working perfectly till today. it refuses to automatically scroll down to the latest or newest message. i have to manually scroll down each time i wanna read a new message which is extremely inconvenient & annoying. how to i go about resolving this problem?
i tried uninstalling yahoo messenger by dragging the yahoo messenger icon into the trash then download & reinstall yahoo messenger from scratch but problem still persists.
i'm very new to mac, only got my macbook 4 days ago. any help will certainly be appreciated.
thank you.

Perhaps emptying the Caches would help, actually I'd do more, and my preferred method is to use Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.

Yahoo Messenger for Mac Grumbles

Perhaps this has been posted many times -- but Yahoo has a rather "crippled" version of their Yahoo Internet Messenger (v3.0 Beta) that's been out there for over a year with only minor tweeks from Yahoo.
Is there any way that Apple Corporate folk can beat up on Yahoo and get a YIM that's comparable to what's offered for Windows?
Jerry
P.S. If there's a better Mac forum for this post, let me know?

brody,
I did write to Yahoo, and I did tell them that their MacOS versions are seriously out of date -- and I did say that in my initial post. Their answer was meaningless, and completely off base.
The reason I posted my grumble here was to ask everyone on these Forums to complain to Yahoo -- my lone voice means nothing to Yahoo. 10,000 Mac users might have some force.
If you're of a mind to let Yahoo hear from you, go to this page: http://developer.yahoo.com/community/suggest.html
or this page:

Yahoo messenger for Mac stopped displaying Real names, showing only ID's

Hello all,
I'm using Yahoo messenger version 3.0.2. All of my listed contacts are shown their id's and can not see their real name or nick name. It's so frustrating to misfinding my friends from my list. Please help me out from it.
According to yahoo messenger guide preference>appearance > tick nick name/first and last name. Unfortunately there is no Appearance option in left side.
Thank you,
Byambagerel

HI,
I only see IDs as I have not allowed the app Access to my Contacts app.
I don't know enough about Yahoo App to say if the server can "push" real names or display names at you the way AIM does.

Anyone, yahoo messenger for mac?

how do setup my Messenger to output sound when my friend is just logging in , it is useful that i can chat with them instantly.
and how do i setup apple Mail to access yahoo mail?

Both of these questions can be answered by visiting the respective websites.
MSN Messenger
1. Menu: Messenger > Preferences
2. Click on 'Alerts'
3. Make sure 'Display alerts when contacts come online' and 'Play sounds for alerts' are both checked.
Access Yahoo! Mail via POP in Mail.app
1. Menu: Mail > Preferences
2. Click on 'Accounts'
3. Click the 'Create an account.' button in the bottom left of the preferences window.
4. Choose 'POP' from the 'Account Type:' drop-down.
5. Fill in the respective name/email fields.
6. Incoming Mail Server (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
7. Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk
POP access with Yahoo! only works if you've agreed to receive Yahoo! delivers messages.

MSN and Yahoo Messenger for MAC do not offer voice and CAM features

Greetings and Happy New Year to all
I have asked this question twice before and nobody seems to be able to help.
I travel alot and just purchased a Powerbook 12 inch. I miss my windows notebook because I was able to use my CAM and Chat with my kids when I need to travel. I also have a Imac G5 and I should have learned that I could not use CAM or Voice on it either.
I just want to know " is there a third party program which has voice and CAM capabilities????????? If anyone can guide me here I would appreciate it very much.
Sincerely
Edward

You want the latest version of aMSN. It works great for webcam use. And the website should have instructions about your firewall issue.

Leopard 10.5.5 - Download Messenger for Mac

Hi everybody,
I have got the last mac's version, I tried to install Messenger for mac, mercury messenger, and amsn, and none works ! all refuse to login in.
What can I do?
Is it a problem with all 10.5.5 mac?? Because skype works well, so I don't understand why msn doesn't work...
If someone knows something to help me...THANKS GUYS

What are your Firewall settings? (System Preferences -> Security -> Firewall)
If the firewall is set to Allow Essential Services, you will need to change the settings to _Set access for specific services and applications_ and then add those applications to allow incoming connections.
Hope that helps.

mwahhhh.....

I just tested Messenger for Mac, which I just downloaded because of your question. I had no problem getting my recently bought Macbook laptop with Leopard to engage and send a webcam picture to a Yahoo messenger account using Windows XP yahoo messenger on the other account's computer. I did not test all the features, just typing an IM and sending a webcam picture from my built in laptop webcam on this Macbook over to a computer with Windows XP. All I had to do after installing and logging in was go to WEBCAM / Start Broadcast etc. It worked fine.
I used the Mac Leopard OS on the Macbook and do not yet have windows added to my macbook but am thinking about how to get it because of the need to occasionally use Internet Explorer on certain websites.

Adobe is working on a versin that will not require any download at all to watch flash content.

Display picture in messages totally pixelated when seeing it with yahoo messenger for windows

Hello,
I'm using messages to chat with my yahoo messenger account at work and yahoo messenger for windows at home.
When I log into Yahoo with messages, my yahoo display picture is updated automatically with the one I have choose in messages.
My problem is that this picture is totally pixelated when you see it on yahoo messenger for windows. It seems that Messages is changing its size.
As the size in Yahoo messenger for windows is bigger it appears pixelated!
If I choose no display picture in messages, the one I have choose with yahoo messenger for windows disappear when I'm logging with it.
Is there a way that messages do not update the display picture each time I'm logging to Yahoo?
I suppose that there is no solution to this problem but I wanted to be sure.
Anyway thanks for your help.

HI,
Thanks for the Path.
This does seem to show all the Recents from the Contacts App > My Card, the Login Pic and the Messages Buddy List pic.
I think in Mountain Lion these were either separate items or the .plist that is in the current place listed the app/location the pic was used.
I have looked at the pictures in the folder (.png and thumbnail .tiffs) and the .plist and it does seem to be all the pics I have used in all three places over the last few months.
The Yahoo account is logged in not through IMAgent that FaceTime and Messages use for other Accounts but from the IMServicePluginAgent.
In Mountain Lion this used to list a Buddy Pic server as well as a straightforward login.
Using Little Snitch I am not seeing that in Mavericks.
Seems you may have to change your Pic on a web page for your Yahoo account.
