Logging Issue, Can't Disable - Yahoo Messenger

Hello everyone, I recently had a problem with Yahoo Messenger and contacted Yahoo about it and was told to send them a Log of the program, by enabling the logging feature via Terminal with the following steps:
+"To help me investigate the issue, I'll need you to send me a diagnostic+
+log file. Here's how:+
+1. Enable diagnostic logging:+
+a. Quit Yahoo! Messenger for Mac.+
+b. Launch the "Terminal" program located in Applications -> Utilities.+
+c. Copy and paste each of the following commands into the Terminal.+
+Press <Return> after pasting each command.+
+defaults write com.yahoo.messenger3 EnableRMPLogging -bool YES+
+defaults write com.yahoo.messenger3 LogLevel all+
+defaults write com.yahoo.messenger3 LogPath ~/Desktop/ym.log+
+2. Now that diagnostic logging has been enabled, try to repeat the issue+
+you're experiencing with Yahoo! Messenger.+
+3. Disable diagnostic logging:+
+a. Quit Yahoo! Messenger for Mac.+
+b. Launch the "Terminal" program located in Applications -> Utilities.+
+c. Copy and paste each of the following commands into the Terminal.+
+Press <Return> after pasting each command.+
+defaults delete com.yahoo.messenger3 LogLevel+
+defaults write com.yahoo.messenger3 EnableRMPLogging -bool NO"+
Now, after completing the last 2 terminal steps just shown above and deleting the original "ym.log" file on my desktop, every time I open up Yahoo Messenger, a blank "ym.log" now appears on my desktop.
Anyone know what step is missing to turn this log feature off in Terminal?
Please help.

Well, after some extensive research and digging through old forum posts on several Mac forums, I found out that I was modifying the Preferences file under Users for Yahoo Messenger.
Basically just deleted the file, restarted and the command was no longer active and the logging no longer active.
Hope this helps others who may encounter the same problem.

I can't use Yahoo messenger (it doesn't open the dialogue window), but in other PCs with older versions of Firefox I don't have problems

I can't use Yahoo messenger (it doesn't open the dialogue window), but in other PCs with older versions of Firefox I don't have problems
As stated earlier even though when I have an incoming message I hear the "Beep" Firefox does not open the dialogue window as it used to do.
Also I am not able to open a new dialogue window or tab by clicking on an online contact of mine.

Known issue, See:

this issue maybe fixed in beta/ nightly, you should try it

Can't use Yahoo Messenger after install of WRT160N

This computer accesses the router wirelessly. I have no problems getting on the internet, or sending email, or downloading updates. Yet I can no longer log into yahoo messenger, tried upgrading messenger, and it tells me to check firewall settings. Windows update is set to off, as well as antivirus, Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Windows firewall is off. The Upnp is enabled already. I even attempted to disabled the SPI firewall within the router, and I still had trouble. I switched my yahoo mail over to the new style and the messenger automatically shows up and logs me in as available, so it works that way. Although I still can not log in or update the messenger the normal way. I think I just need to uninstall messenger and re-install. I do not have any anti-virus or ad-aware running. Thanks.

Yahoo Messanger can be used on their website as part of Yahoo Mail:

The Desktop application is not available for Mac. If you have an iOS or Android device there are versions for those.

HT5594 Can I disable Yahoo's access to Loc Svcs without disabling the iPad Loc Svcs?

I was using the browser on the iPad tonight & "Googled" Yahoo maps. A pop-up said Yahoo wanted to use location based services; it only had an OK button, no Decline button and no other way to close it or the web tab. It wouldn't allow me to access the browser back arrow. It seemed wrong to force the iPad user to "Ok" their request. How do I disable only Yahoo's access to loc based services without disabling the iPad location services? Thank you

You know that this is the iPhone forum, not iPad, right? "Can I" or "should I" - not the same thing.

I can't download the yahoo messenger for mac...

I can't download yahoo messenger for mac.. everytime i try, the downloads window says that it "cannot create file".. Why is that?
Ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) please help

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.

No matter which bookmark i click on or url i type, firefox connects to yahoo!search, and even from there i cannot connect to the desired webpage. how can i get yahoo!search permanently disabled?

since this morning [1 may] i cannot connect to any bookmarked or other url [except the firefox homepage?!], because the only connection made is to yahoo!search. and even when yahoo!search displays the search result correctly to the site i want to go on, if i click on that i only get returned to yahoo!search again. since i prefer not to use yahoo!search at all, how can i disable yahoo!search permanently?

There are other things that need your attention.
Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode or with a reduced screen resolution.
You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab.
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
You can check if you have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the browser\searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.
Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

One more iChat and Yahoo Messenger question

I have been PC user for years, but I only recently saw the light...
I have a MacBook Pro recently updated with Lion. I have everything updated. So, I am trying to communicate with a friend through iChat using Yahoo Messenger. He has a brand new PC.
I can log into iChat using my Yahoo Messenger account. He can do the same. But, even though we can see each other on our Buddy List, and we can text each other, the option "Invite to video chat" is grayed out for me. If he tries to invite me to video response, but I get no notice.
If I have Yahoo Messenger running at the same time, it takes control, and iChat shows me offline. If I turn Yahoo Messenger off, I still have no option to video chat.
I have been through the pages here, but I do not have the experience I had with PC. So, going through and deleting files in a Mac is a little indemidating for me. Can someone welcome me to the fold and walk me through any tips you can think of that may fix my problem? Remember, little baby steps...
If not, thanks for reading,
Patrick

Hi,
There is no "FIx" as such.
All the major IM services that do Video somewhere along the line use different protocols in the connection process or in the actually Video Feed.
iChat uses a Process called Session Initiation Protocol. (SIP)
It does not matter if you have an AIM Buddy list ((One with an AIM valid ID as Lgin details) or a Jabber one or a Yahoo one or even if you enable th Bonjour one if you have other Macs on your LAN it will use this Protocol.
This Protocol is compatible with the AIM Application on PCs
There is a thrdr Party App called Trillian which in it's Pro Version can also Video with iChat.
The other side of the coin is that it will only Video to other iChat Users that have Google/Jabber or Yahoo Names.
By the same token Google run a Jabber Server
Jabber servers use a process called Jingle to do Video
Google however have altered their version and it is not that compatible with other Jabber apss that can Video chat
This includes Google's Standalone App called Google Talk (PC Only), the Browser Plug-ins it produces for Macs (Intels only) and PC and the Chat Option on their Web Pages
Yahoo uses a straight Web Feed for Video and STUN for the Audio chat along side.
STUN is close to SIP but not close enough to allow Audio Connections..
NOTE
iChat has had the Ability to Text chat to any Jabber Buddy including GoogleTalk ones since iChat 3
iChat 3 was nearly 6 years ago and no Jabber Video ability has bee added to the app in all that time.
Any changes are not going to be "in the next Update"

Previous Version of Yahoo Messenger (before 2.5)

Hi, can anyone tell me where to download the previous version of yaho messenger? I have several issue with the latest yahoo messenger (2.5.32 and all other 2.5 version) on my 8820. I keep got disconnected and when I reconnect, the conversation group is empty.

See [[installing a previous version of Firefox]].
Possibly at some stage Yahoo will release an update to the toolbar so it works with Firefox again.
Update <br>Note Yahoo toolbar is being made compatible with Firefox 5, and it was hoped to have been done by 21st June. ([/forums/contributors/707024?last=40411#post-40357 see] ) Yahoo toolbar is therefore likely to become compatible very soon, if not already.

Yahoo messenger on Pre?

I went to add my yahoo account to my pre, only to discover that I can't add yahoo messenger to it. Any way to work around this?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Ok, I got the Yahoo IM working on my phone by adding my Yahoo email account and the phone automatically brought over ALL of my contacts from my Yahoo email account into my phone, set up the IM program and everything worked just fine.
Then I added a second Yahoo email account and found that I can not access the second IM, HOWEVER, I can send messages to the people on the second Yahoo email account because ALL of the contacts from the first and second email accounts are now stored on my phone, so IF I know the exact email and/or name of the contact I can send an IM but the Pre does not show any list of contacts that are online from the second email account.
So, I decided to just delete the second email account (and hopefully all the extra contacts that were unwillingly installed into my phone) and just use the web-based Yahoo IM to access the second email contacts.
Unfortunately, when I deleted the second email account from my phone NONE of the contact information from the second email account was deleted from my phone! (I also deleted the account from the calendar since it does NOT automatically do this for some reason).
I am very un-excited about deleting hundreds of unwanted contacts from my phone one at a time.
1. How can I delete hundreds of contacts without doing it one by one?
2. Can you access multiple Yahoo IM accounts on the Pre? (According to phone support you CAN access multiple IM accounts on Google and AIM).
3. Is there a way to use Yahoo IM without ALL of the contacts from the email account being dumped into my Contacts list and slowing down my phone (search, missed, and all call list) dramatically?
Thanks for any/all support!
Michael

Connecting iChat AV 3.1.4 and Yahoo Messenger

I have a G5 PowerMac running OS X 10.4.6 with iChat AV 3.1.4 and an iSight web cam, and my son has a PC (running some version of Windows) with Yahoo Messenger and a web cam. By using Yahoo Messenger, I can see his web cam at a 1 frame per second frame rate. However, I haven't yet figured out how to get him to be able to see what my iSight sees, and he tells me that because I have a Mac, he can't operate Yahoo Messenger in "Super Web Cam" mode (with a much higher frame rate).
From what I've read on the web, including in this discussion forum, it seems like there are solutions to this problem. I had suggested to my son that we try to connect using Jabber and ICQ, but for some reason that didn't seem to work. I think he said that ICQ made his PC hang. Perhaps there was some detail that we overlooked . . .
Can anyone offer me some wisdom on how to overcoome these problems?
Thanks!!
G5 Power Mac Mac OS X (10.4.6) iChat AV 3.1.4, iSight web cam, Yahoo Messenger

Hi cccmjpd,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
If the PC user is using AIM then the video quality cna be reduced and the frame rate will go up.
I am not sure if there is a such a setting in Yahoo!
