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...

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Need help with Yahoo Messenger for iMac webcam chat

    I'm trying to use Yahoo messenger webcam chat on my iMac.  The camera works, but no one can hear me.  My mic works with Facetime and Skype.  What do I need to change?  Thanks?

    Yes it does.  There are only two selections and I've tried each of them to no avail.  Is what I'm asking even possible on the Mac?  I've tried with a few different people and it's always the same problem:  Great picture, no sound.  Facetime and Skype work great, I'm just having problems with Messenger.  It's version 3.0.1 beta.  Perhaps that feature just doesn't work in Mac?
    Thanks for responding!  I was worried I'd asked a stupid question!

  • Why Can't Camera Work with Windows Messenger for Mac and give output video?

    I can see from the other end, but my camera won't come on so they can't see me. I hear them and can type in Messenger, but I'd like to have 2-way video, not just receive.
    My camera works as I use it in Photo Booth, so that's not the problem. I can't find a way to setup the video within Messenger. Don't know if it's problem with Messenger or Leopard.
    Whatever it is, it's very annoying that I can't output video.
    Anyone with similar problem or have the answer? I'd be forever grateful!
    junroe

    Microsoft Messenger doesn't have video support on the Mac version. If you want crossplatform videochat, ask your friends to join AOL Instant Messenger. You can get video chat crossplatform between AOL Instant Messenger for PC & Apple's iChat which supports AOL Instant Messenger screen names. Skype is crossplatform too. An open source program called ophonex supports Microsoft Messenger's Netmeeting protocol for video chat as well. IRC is also crossplatform in videochat though its setup is a bit more complicated with the software known as Ircle for the Mac.

  • The New Ipad Air Problem with Yahoo Messenger Webcam

    I installed yahoo messenger in my new ipad air.  The webcam is not working.  Please suggest me how to fix it.  Thanks

    First thing to try is a reset: Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.
    If that doesn't work, you might try getting hold of Yahoo since it's their app that's causing the problem. Try searching on Google for others who've solved 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:

  • Problems with Office 2011 for mac after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Office 2011 for mac worked fine with Lion on my MacBook Air.  I had been having some problems with my computer freezing and crashing, so the folks at the Genius Bar wiped my computer clean and installed Mountain Lion for me. 
    I have full backups (Time Machine) from before the wipe on my external hard drive, but I was told not to restore from the backup, that I should drag and drop files instead.  I was also told to re-install any program for which I had the disk.  I reinstalled Office 2011 via the disk.
    Two major problems followed:
    1.     I lost all my old emails (I use Mail).  Even rebuilding the library or trying to restore them from Time Machine don't get them back. 
    2.     Word and Excel don't seem to recognize me anymore.  I can pull up and modify an old document or workbook, but I cannot "save" my changes.  I have to hit "save as." That's a pain, but there's a worse problem.
    I have no trouble saving these "save as" versions to my desktop or to my Documents file.  But I cannot save them anywhere else — even to the folder where I found the original document.  I get a message that I don't have the necessary permissions to access or modify the folders. I'm asked to authenticate, and I do, but that doesn't seem to do anything. 
    I tried Get Info on the workbooks and documents, and I'm clearly granted Read and Write permission. 
    I've done a permissions repair via Disk Utility.  There were some things to repair, but it didn't solve my problem. 
    I know I can move all documents to an external hard drive and then recreate all the folders, saving all the documents and workbooks "as" but it seems a huge amount of work.  Can anybody suggest an easier route or how to get my email history?

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  'resetpassword' (without the 's) and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • Problem with Entourage 2008 for Mac

    I don't know if this is the right forum, if not please direct me to where I should go. I have Entourage 2008 for Mac. I continue to have a problem with the font reverting back to Calibri when I am composing an email. I've set up in Preferences the font I want, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any suggestions? Other than give up entirely on Apple and go back to a PC????? The whole Office 2008 program is horrible and whoever designed it at Apple should be fired.

    I don't know if this is the right forum, if not please direct me to where I should go.
    Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:  http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac
    whoever designed it at Apple should be fired.
    Ummm...nobody at Apple designed it.  It's a Microsoft product.

  • Sync problems with AME CS4 for Mac

    Hi,
    I've been trying to use Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to convert a 2 min video (MPEG2 Muxed, 29.97) to FLV/F4V, and the audio still does not sync to the video. I've tried in Sor. Spark, On2VP6, and H.264. I can't imagine it's a fps issue because in the Settings I always choose "same as source". Is there something else I should do that I'm not doing thus far?
    For what it's worth: I'm using version 4.2.0.006.
    Thanks in advance!
    Dave

    Thanks for the reply.  I am using  Photoshop 11.0.1.  I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard.  I have found both Photoshop and Dreamweaver to be pretty buggy for several versions now.  My suspicions were that they were really engineered for Windows and never really fully implemented for the Mac.  Dreamweaver crashes or hangs on me three or four times a day if I us it all day and does various annoying things like refusing to respond to the delete key after I have used it for a while.  I have pretty much stopped using it to some degree for that reason and also because there is other software that does a lot of coding things I do much more directly and simply.  Also Dreamweaver always seems to struggle to quit when I tell it to quit (that is, it takes a long time and gets hung up at places before it quits) and once it does quit, I always get a message saying that it has unexpectedly quit (even when I have told it to quit).
    The problems with Photoshop  (starting with just taking a long time to load)  have escalated to the point I described today, which makes it almost unusable. I just reinstalled Snow Leopard to see if there was anything buggy in the system software.  I will report if problems go away.
    Regarding both the refusal to open image files and the grayed out quit command, made me think something like you, i.e. there was some dialogue box open somewhere.  However, I couldn't find anything and I don't use two monitors.
    So . . . Adobe just seems to be getting more expensive and more buggy.
    Incidentally, why is it still running in Rosetta rather than natively?  Adobe now has a real Intel processor to work with.

  • Print Problems with Elements 9 for Mac

    I cannot print borderless (randlos) on format 10 x 15 (or any other) on my Printer Canon PIXMA MP970. With Elements 8 for Windows there is no problem. I have tried any possible combinations of adjustements and have the lates printer driver installed.

    10 x 15 cm is a standard European paper size but the choice ist not available in the paper size selection. The choices avaiIable seem to be only American. I have to define it as user defined (Benutzerdefiniert). I have contacted Canon but they have no solution for this problem. It seems that PSE 9 for Mac and Canon printer drivers don't like each other. A least the German versions. With PSE 8 for Windows everything works fine. There the standard European paper sizes and borderless printing can be selected with no problem. As mentioned in other topics rotating is although a problem. Lucky enough I have also a Windows system with PSE 8.
