Why no Ipad versions of Skype or Yahoo messenger yet?

I am really surprised that native iPad versions of skype and yahoo messenger haven't come out yet. I'm beginning to think that it has something to do with ATT? It just doesn't make sense that those companies would not release versions by now.
The iPhone versions suck on the iPad. Plus the iPhone version of yahoo messenger doesn't even come with voice in or out. I use yahoo voice to make calls on my iMac all the time. Kinda blows I can't do so on my iPad yet.
What gives? Anyone know? Why the delay?
Thanks

This is really a user to user forum for Apple products. I don't think anyone here is an expert on non-Apple apps. Furthermore, if you need to complain, why aren't you doing it at forums focused on the two products you're discussing.
That being said, Skype's app does work on the iPad, though not well. It doesn't work over 3G (or at least not well). And it can't work in the background, because iOS 4 is not available for the iPad.
The iPad makes a pretty bad iPhone, to be honest. It's huge. And when you're using Skype, you can't do anything else. Reading several comments by Skype from way back in April, it appears that they are not working on an iPad version at this time. Who knows what they're doing when iOS 4 shows up.
But you really need to take your complaints to Yahoo and Skype.

  • How do I get my webcam working on my skype and yahoo messenger, even though it is working well on photo booth?

    How do i get my webcam working on my skype and yahoo messenger, even though my cam is working on photo booth ( and i am tlking of the mbp with latest OX).

    you need to go into the preferences of the actual programs and make the proper settings...
    Such as in Yahoo, go to preferences, Webcam tab, sub tab Video and make sure you have the proper camera selected in the drop down menu of video source. In your case built-in isight camera.

  • My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat

    My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat.
    Ive reset my SMC and PMU but it still does not work. Only black screen appears on skype with a loading sign that takes so long. The light signal on the cam doesnt turn on as well which indicates that it is really not working.

    Regarding Skype, post in the Mac Skype forums on Skype's website.  It's where all the Mac Skype users hang out.
    Regarding Yahoo, contact its customer tech support department.

  • Cannot read messages in yahoo messenger, yet my contact can read my messages on their messenger

    When I open Yahoo Messenger, I put in my message and hit send. The message does not show on my page, but does show on the page of who I am sending message to. The only way I know I am getting a message from someone, it shows on the lower right side of my page, however the message page does open with no message.

    I am unable to view other users webcams in Yahoo
    Messenger 3.0, although others can view my webcam.
    When I click on the "view my webcam" I hear the tone
    but that's all. I am unable to receive an invite
    from a contact to view their webcam. I have an iMac
    with Intel processor using OSX10.4.7, and no
    firewalls.
    2 GHz Intel
    Core Duo iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    I too am having the same problem with my Powermac G5. I can hear the whistle that invites me but nowhere can I find a picture nor is there a invitation for me to click in. When I click View my Cam, I get the same results. I am also using Yahoo Messenger beta 3.0.

    In general when syncing the device won't give the desired results the following steps should work.
    Backup the device.
    Restore as a new device.
    Restore the backup made earlier.

  • HT1349 I can not do video call on yahoo messenger or Skype. I can see them they can't see me

    When I try to do video call in Skype or yahoo messenger people say they can't see me.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • Yahoo messenger / Skype

    Hi there,
    I am trying to chat with a friend using my mac to his pc. I have installed yahoo messenger and skype but my sound doesn't work.
    Can anybody help me to try get my audio to work. I have gone into system preferences and fiddled there, but I don't know if I'm doing it correctly.
    I have a headset with a microphone and can hear my friend talk but he can't hear me.
    Can u help please?

    There could be several causes for this. Here's a few that come to mind:
    - Maybe your headset microphone is not functioning
    What does it show in the Sound panel of the System Preferences? It should show an input level which ought to indicate when it "hears" sounds from a microphone. Check your Input volume level.
    - You should be able to broadcast sound from Skype. Yahoo messenger won't.
    Check the Audio input of the Audio panel of Skype preferences. Make sure it is indicating your microphone.
    - Perhaps your friend doesn't have speakers? or his/her volume is turned down or muted? or perhaps he told Skype to mute the audio.
    Have you tried using skype with any other people? Have you tried using iChat's audio calling? These things may help you narrow down the source of the problem.
    Good luck!

  • 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!!

    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!

  • Aim using an ipad version 7.0.4 on using yahoo thru safari or yahoo app I cannot attach documents as icon unseen

    Iam using an ipad version 7.0.4 and when using yahoo mail thru safari or yahoo app iam unable to see icon for attachment,,,,it only shows add picture....pls can someone help...I even changed to desktop version but to no avail

    I`m `propping` up this thread to to the top of the forums again as it`s been three months and not a single community member or Apple support personnel have replied, which I find discouraging.
    I`ve tried everything - both the iOS device(s) and Apple TV have been upgraded (albeit reluctantly) to the latest versions, since iOS 7 looks like crap compared to iOS 6. Both use the same WiFi network. Bluetooth is set to `off`, as per the online tutorials on the Apple Support page.
    I also tried shutting all of them down, including the router, waiting 30 seconds and turning the router, then the Apple TV then the iOS device on sequentially with 30 seconds in between each, again as per this discussion forum, and still nothing.
    Why can Apple not make a technology, such as AirPlay, work with greater than 10%?
    Any other ideas?
    Come on, people.
    Thanks,
    Doug

  • Two versions of skype on my ipad under ios 7

    hi,
    i just dscovered, that there are running two versions of skype on my ipad under ios7. the latest one and a bit older version. how could it be? the appstore automati ally overwrites older versions. anybody has the same problem? i was able to delete it without any problem, but wondered why there can be two versions of the same programm. my ipad is NOT jailbreaked.
    thanks

    You can more than one copy of the QuickTime Player app but you can have only one QuickTime set of "frameworks".
    Move 6.5 from Applications folder to your Desktop and change its name (I used 6.5 in the name).
    Double check the QuickTime Sys Prefs/Register to make certain it is Pro.
    Install version 7.
    Now you have two QuickTime Player apps. Old on the Desktop and new in the Applications folder. Use the About QuickTime menu in each and you'll see 6.5 is running "on top" of version 7.
