ISight with Yahoo

does anyone have any pointers on using my isight with yahoo and MSN messenger? when I use it the picture received at the other end is always dark yet on my screen it looks fine. the room is always well lit with a ceiling light and two side lamps - one on either side. but still my family complain that the picture is too dark and they can't see me. what can I do? are there any settings/ brightness I can adjust? I'm using it on a G4 powerbook. my family all use PC's. thanks and best wishes,
Owen.

First, Test your iSight to determine whether it is working correctly with any software. If iSight works correctly with Apple software, then your problem is with to Yahoo! Messenger for Mac (YM) rather than with your iSight.
If your iSight works properly, you might consider these tips for Improving Your iSight's Picture.
Video requires much more light than most people consider bright room lighting. However, if your iSight works well with Apple Software, you can try deleting the YM preferences from your UserName/Library/Preferences folder. Here is how to delete the preferences:• Quit YM.
• Delete the "com.yahoo.Messenger.plist"
• Delete every "com.yahoo.Messenger.Users. yourYM_userName.plist" file. There will be one "yourYM_userName" .plist file for each YM screen name that you have established. Your camera settings are saved in each "yourYM_userName" .plist file, so all of them must be deleted.
• Restart YM
• Set your preferences again.
• Test YM to see if it is working correctly.If YM still does not work, download and install the free trial version of iGlasses. iGlasses will allow you to manually set your iSight's brightness (and several other) settings, If it does what you need pay its modest price. Otherwise, uninstall it as instructed to avoid Possible software conflicts.
You can find other users' experience with iSight problems and fixes by searching "iSight Discussions for Yahoo".
Please let us know how you get it working.

Problem with Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry 10

Hi Blackberry Team,
I've recently encountered a problem with Yahoo Messenger 10.1.0.88 on my Blackberry Q10 running OS 10.1.0.4181 software. It had been working fine for like a month after I purchased this phone from the authorized shop in Thailand until a few days ago it started showing the message within seconds after signed-in: 'Your connectino to the instant messaging provider has been lost. You can wait for the connection to be re-established or close the application and try logging in later'.
This is only when I'm on 3G cellular network. It works fine through Wi-Fi connection.
I did some research on website and found that the latest version of Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry is actually 10.1.1.16 released on Sep 30th, 2013 but, for some unknown reasons, my Blackberry World only shows the '10.1.0.88' (which already installed on my phone) as the latest version.
I really need this for work as I'm communicating with international bankers over yahoo. Please help look into this problem and get it fixed at your earliest possible. Thank you.

I have the same problem with my z10 always unknown error it getting me crazy

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.
Edit

Can't get web cam to work with Yahoo messenger

I can't get my web cam to work with my Yahoo messenger but it opens up with the Cam assistant thats all it will do.
Can someone help me with this problem and get it working with Yahoo messenger?

Hello
Before you start MSN disable Camera Assistant Software. When MSN starts try please to check cam functionality under Audio and Video Setup. On step 3 you will have Webcam Setup.
Please select there Chicony USB 2.0 Camera.
The camera should start and in test window you should have picture.
Can you use it now?

Does iChat in Lion have video calls with Yahoo messenger??

Does iChat in Lion have video calls with Yahoo messenger?
so far is supports only AIM and Apple ID for video chat but in Lion iChat supports Yahoo messenger, do they have video calling also or only text chat is offered in this version?

Hi all,
iChat will Video to other iChat users for Jabber (Google, Facebook and others) and Yahoo Names.
In neither case will it Video to any Web browser access to the service the buddy may be on such as the Google Mail web mail or iGoogle pages access to the chat option.
Nor will it video to any Standalone app (There is one for PC for GoogleTalk) and obviously the Yahoo app on both PCs and Macs.
iChat has not done this since Jabber was added at iChat 3 (OS 10.4/Tiger) some while ago.
The AIM for Mac app has never been able to do Video.
Video chatting to the AIM app for PCs can be fraught but is supposed to work.
It also tends to work to the Trillian App with the Pro Add-on (which Costs)
The Yahoo for Mac 3 Beta has been in beta for years. It could be argued that it has never been "Supported"
iChat 6 's behaviour may not be what you want but it is entirely consistent with iChat 3 through 5 with the Jabber options.

Using iSight with Mac Messenger ?

I was just wondering if anyone knew a way to use the iSight with Mac Messenger, and, or view someone else's webcam? I've been told by friends that it's not possible but I just wanted to check here incase there is some 'backalley' way to do so.
Thanks for your time

Thanks, but i was just really looking if it was possible with Mac Messenger. I've tried aMSN in the past and it gave me a lot of problems so i don't want to go down that route again.
It doesn't really matter if it isn't possible i just though it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Thanks anyway

Can u use a USB webcam on an iMac with built-in isight for Yahoo Messenge?

Hi...I hope someone can shed some light on this.
I have an intel core duo iMac 20 with built-in isight.
I use Yahoo Messenger (the new version) and have no problems getting my isight to work with it.
For most circumstances, the built-in isight is fine... but sometimes having a camera with a zoom feature and the ability to pan further up or down would be most beneficial.
I also own a usb Logitech (pro-4000) webcam (the last series for which they have Mac support) and have installed the latest Mac drivers for it. I can get the Logitec to run its built-in applications, but when I try to select a webcam to use for Yahoo (in the yahoo preferences webcam section), the only selection available to me is the built-in isight.
Is there any way to get the option to choose between the Logitech and the isight?
I tried macam drivers, but that just gave me an application that allowed me to record video or snap pics from my Quickcam, Yahoo Messenger still does not recognize it as a source.

macam driver and macam component installation resolves this issue

Has anyone succesfully set up iSight video with Yahoo Messenger 2.5.3?

If so, could you pass along how you did it? i.e. what settings etc.

Yup. I just trashed the preferences on this Intel 17 and restarted Yahoo. Opening the camera crashed the program. Should I be looking to trash any other Yahoo Messenger related things or can it be said the program suddenly doesn't work on Intel Macs?
It did.

ISIGHT for Yahoo Messenger

Hi Everyone,
Does the iSight web camera supporting to yahoo messenger in windows operating system? Thanks in advance.
Sri.

If you search in the iSight forums on Apple support you'll get better info.
iSight on iChat = both video and sound work fine. If you are talking to a person on PC, then both video and sound will only work if they are using the latest AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) on Windows.
iSight on OSX Yahoo IM = only video works - there's no sound options in the OSX Yahoo IM preferences so they didn't even code that in.
iSight on Windows Yahoo IM = only video works. No one has coded a driver that works with the firewire microphone part of the iSight yet.
