Yahoo Instant Messenger buggy on build 1.3.5.1

I noticed that when using yahoo instant messenger you get signed out alot and sometimes you cant send messages. The messages will say failed to "whomever" with a yellow triangle and !.  However I have noticed the issues with wifi on and 3g signal is good.  So when I am not connected to a wireless signal on a router I can connect easily.  So I recommend turning off wifi when using yahoo messenger, or if you dont have any 3g signal then use the wifi.  PALM please help with a fix for this issue.

cadams14, did you do any troubleshooting when you had this issue? If so can you post what you did?

  • Bizarre Yahoo Instant Messenger problem

    Hi,
    I am using the Yahoo Instant Messenger as a startup item, have been for years. Today when I started up it did something funny; it told me I had X number of e-mails and then showed and played alerts for each one of them. Then I opened iTunes. The playlist I'd selected yesterday was still chosen and when I scrolled down to it, saw that for some bizarre reason (there are reasons for these things, aren't there?) the Yahoo IM alert sound repertoire was listed in the playlist as well as the radio station I had originally chosen for that playlist.
    I think it is a Yahoo IM problem but just wanted to post this since it was so bizarre.
    I have to add that my machine has been acting strange lately. Two kernal panics in about a week. A freeze yesterday. Other bad things after about a month of just plain uneventfulness. It is likely things like the above problem are due to things being amiss with OSX as much as the Yahoo IM (beta 3.0 1 (build 17006) I thought I was running the same version of the Yahoo IM but it seems to have been switched to the beta version a few days ago. (All I did was look at the the new version's web site but I wasn't aware I'd intentionally changed versions.)
    Cheers,
    John L

  • Voice Chat on Yahoo Instant Messenger doesn't work on my HP though it does on my work desktop.

    My Yahoo Instant Messenger doesn't allow voice chat on my laptop, though I can use it on my work desktop.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no success.  I'm thinking there may be a hardware issue, an update missing or something.

    No idea what  "My apple ID account doesn't work on my itunes but it does on the web" means.
    Please explain

  • Yahoo Instant Messenger

    I downloaded yahoo instant messenger onto my blackberry curve and when I go to logon I get an error message saying "service is not enabled for this handheld".  I have att and I have all data service (internet, email, txt messaging, etc.) for my service.  Is there a reason why Yahoo IM won't work?  I called ATT and they said that the Yahoo IM app does not work on the blackberry curve, yet the blackberry website and yahoo website both state that it can.  Also, why would there be a download available for it if it doesn't work on the blackberry's?  This is very confusing.
    Solved!

  • Adium and Yahoo instant messenger contact lists not working with Leopard

    After I installed Leopard, I tried to run Adium. When I tried to click on the icon and pop up my contact list to select a contact, nothing happens. I am now only able to receive messages and reply to received messages. I cannot get my contact list to pop up when clicking the icon in the dock (like I did with Tiger).
    I had the same issue when using the latest Yahoo! messenger for Mac. Anyone else seeing this, or know of a fix?

    Hello tross415 and welcome to the Palm forums.
    What you are seeing is, if I recall correctly, a bug from Palm webOS 1.3.1 that has not yet been addressed.  If you launch Messaging on the Pre, and then select Preferences & Accounts > Add IM Acoun you will not get a button to add a Yahoo! IM account.
    The work around for this issue, and to add Yahoo IM support to your Pre is to add a Yahoo email or calendar account.  When you do, the IM account will also be created.  That is the process that worked for me when Palm introduced Yahoo IM support with webOS 1.3.1.
    Hope that helps,

  • 4G LTE affecting Yahoo Instant Messenger

    Since my crappy Pantech UML290 4G device actually started picking up a 4G signal I cant stay logged into Yahoo IM for more than about 10 seconds. Just today though it dropped back down to only receiving 3G and it works fine. Any one having this issue?

    The problem started when the 4G started being received. Up til then Yahoo IM worked fine. And other web sites work fine. I looked online and found out how to force it to pick up the 3G only and now the Yahoo IM works fine, as it did before. But the 3g connection isnt very good so loading web sites is usually pretty slow. I really need to figure out how to make the 4G work with Yahoo IM. Im using windows 7 and when I emailed your support page i was told that there is a way to change the settings for windows but that id have to call and talk to someone. Id rather just have an email. Thanks

  • New CDMA iPhone 4S, apps that require data such as Yahoo instant messenger and the weather channel, work fine with a wifi connection but do not work with 3G

    These apps just time out on 3G, but load just fine over wifi from the device.   I know the data connection is good because web pages load fine in the browser on the phone.
    Any idea how to fix this?

  • Can't use Gmail or Instant Messenger

    When utilizing my airport express to connect to the internet I cannot open Gmail, or use Yahoo Instant Messenger. I have been able to open Gmail and Yahoo IM before today, but now when I try to navigate to Gmail I keep getting the "this page cannot be found," page. When I try to open Yahoo IM it says that I have entered the wrong credentials. Whenever I am hardlined into the internet I can open Gmail, and use Yahoo IM with no problems....switch back to using airport express and the problem continues. What in the world can be causing this and how can I fix it.
    I appreciate any help with this....

    Exact same problem here. IMHO, I think it started when Software Update installed the latest version of Java. Can't be certain about that though.
    I AM able to send/reply via Firefox, however.

  • Instant Messenger troubles

    This only started when I got the new Firefox so I’m starting to wonder if its interfering with my messenger.  Every time I send a message I get an error prompt that wants me to shut down the messenger and restart it. It's extremely irritating to be in the middle of an important conversation with my beta reader\editor
    I've heard that the newer version of firefox causes memory bleeds as well and Yahoo Answers has not been of any help what so ever in trying to identify the problem with Yahoo Instant Messenger or what could be interfering with it
    At this rate I'm wondering if I should just switch back to the old version of Firefox and hope that doesn’t cause problems. If I remember right I can just go to the home page and get the older version, some things don't work on it but if it keeps me from losing information over YIM or keeps it from shutting down then to me it would be worth it
    Is there any way possible to tell exsactly what could be messing with my messenger ?

    It'd all be trial and error. You can try uninstalling the new Firefox and see if that fixes things, if not then uninstall and reinstall YIM. If that still does nothing for you then you could always try a 3rd party chat program. I like Pidgin as it's very light on resources and works for AIM, MSN, YIM, Jabber, Googletalk etc. Keep in mind Pidgin probably won't work for voice chats or video chats.

  • Not Receiving Yahoo Instant Messages.

    It started happening day before yesterday.  All of a sudden I stop receiving messages from the person I am talking to.  I have all of my service and coverage indicators so I am baffled as to why this is happening.  I rely on IM alot and its very frustrating.
    Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated

    I'm having the same issues. I can be having a conversation and then go idle for a period of time (say and hour or two) and then the person I was interacting with earlier tries to respond and it doesn't come through. I only know they responded when I sign into Yahoo Instant Messenger on my laptop later in the day and hit conversation history to see if they ever answered....which they had and it never came over on my blackberrry. I have rebooted, did the *228 business and checked my connections.  This started a few days ago for me as well.

  • Cannot use instant messenger in Yahoo Mail anymore and don't know why

    when I go into my Yahoo Mail, I cannot use instant messenger. If I click on someone on line nothing happens at all. I have been told to delete and reload this program (IM) but have tried repeatedly and cannot find it anywhere. Also tried contacting someone on facebook and got no response so I assume it's not working on the chat feature either

  • Do you have an instant messenger?

    want something less invasive than AIM or yahoo. This is for business purpose would also like this on our cell phones.

    hi, well you're at a firefox support forum, so probably anyone here will confirm that that's a good choice :-)
    but joking apart, since contrary to those other browser vendors you have mentioned, mozilla is a non-profit organisation which can put the interest of its users on top of its action you can argue that this will make its actions inherently more privacy focused. for some background and initiatives in this regard you can see https://www.mozilla.org/privacy/you/
    in regards to thunderbird & instabird - those are an email program and a instant messenger based on mozilla technology (you asked about that in your original statement). those are just clients though which can be used to connect to a number of different chat networks operated by third-parties, mozilla doesn't run a chat service itself (similar like with outlook and your email provider for example).
