Yahoo Messenger Beta 3 126432 won't run......

I am posting this here, because the people on Yahoo Answers are not helpful at all. And Yahoo tech support is just as bad. I use Yahoo Messenger 3 Beta & everything will fine with it for a few days. Then I go to open it & it just bounces the dock icon & never runs. It won't force quit (I force quit the program & then when I go to check force quit again, it has reappeared). I have never had a program do this - ever. A program should never restart itself after being force quit. In fact, the only way to get it to stop is to force quit it, restart the finder, force quit the program again, then log out. It is extremely annoying. Does anyone know of a way to completely shut down a program that refuses to force quit?? I even go so far as to delete all related files (plist, preferences, cache) & then delete the program itself. I will then reinstall it & the problem will persist. My system has no permissions errors & everything else runs flawlessly. Also, does anyone know why Yahoo programmers are too lazy to fix this issue (I am not the only one having this problem)?? If anyone has any ideas about this one, your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know of a way to completely shut down a program that refuses to force quit??
Shut down the computer & then boot right back up or just restart.
Also, does anyone know why Yahoo programmers are too lazy to fix this issue
They are not lazy. You must realize that when you download and install Beta software, you are going to have problems and experience all the bugs that go with it because the product is being tested by you the guinea pig.
Beta software is not finished and is known to have bugs, perhaps even serious ones.
Since you are having issues with it, you might as well uninstall the Beta version & revert back to the trouble free previous version.

  • Unable to download Yahoo Messenger Beta version and Adium

    Hi there,
    Need help!!!
    i've been having problem downloading yahoo messenger beta or even adium. can't seem to figure out why so I was hoping someone here would know if its connected to Safari.
    I click download but it doesn't do anything at all.

    Hi,
    Hmm, uninstalling it should have rectified things. Did you also try rebooting after running the uninstall process?
    If you did, do you have anything in the following folders:
    Hard drive > Users > Your Username > Library > InputManagers
    Hard drive > Users > Your Username > Library > Application Support > SIMBL
    Hard drive > Library > InputManagers
    Hard drive > Library > Application Support > SIMBL
    Those folders may not exist, so it's not a problem if you can't find them. If you do find them, drag the contents of those folders onto your Desktop, completely quit Safari (Safari menu > Quit) and then relaunch Safari and try another download.

  • Yahoo Messenger Beta 3, System 10.5.6

    My isight had been working fine, even with this beta software. All of a sudden, I can't get isight to work in Yahoo messenger beta 3. I can message, but the minute I attempt turning on my camera, the software goes into "not responding" (just before this I get my image, but no video).
    I've tried isight with ichat, photobooth, all works well.
    Any ideas?

  • Voice chat in Yahoo Messenger beta 2 version for Mac

    I downloaded Yahoo Messenger beta 2 version. I am not able to voice chat with friends like I used to do in a windows PC. My friends say they get an error message while attempting for voice chat. error message that version is different. Could someone please identify the problem and suggest a solution.

    Since Yahoo Messenger is not an Apple product you should look to Yahoo support for answers:
    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/mac/index.html
    Of since you're friends are the ones who receive the error message, perhaps they should upgrade their messenger.

  • 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.

    Airprint is for IOS devices and thus has no relevance to this issue.
    Connect the printer to your Wireless Network and use Bonjour to detect nd connect it.
    That's wrong. AirPrint is not just for iOS devices. Since HP doesn't provide drivers for this printer, they say to use AirPrint:

    Hi Tobbi,
    SL version 4. Reinstalled many times. Running Windows 7.
    Not sure exactly what version I was running prior to 3.6.6.
    Tried version 4 beta - didn't work. Found 3.5 and it works.
    When I run, I get the white screen with the dots going around in a circle forever (Silverlight loading thing). I could send you a screen shot, but I really don't want to go back to 3.6.6.
    I set a break point at the earliest possible place in my code and it never gets there.
    Thanks

  • Yahoo messenger 3.0 beta crash

    Yahoo Messenger 3.0 beta is generally a great improvement, but I have had a couple of bad crashes when using webcam. Viewing webcam is fine (which has not been the case for some time--it has been dysfunctional for quite a while, and it seems that this problem has been quite widespread for Apple users), and when I start my own webcam there seems to be no problem at first, but problems occur after that--I have had one total system freeze (something that hasn't happend since OS 9) and one kernel panic (message telling me to restart the computer).
    The freeze (and several less serious application crashes) happened with OS 10.4.6, the kernel panic with 10.4.7, so the problem is definitely with the Yahoo software, not an upgrade issue.
    Any similar experiences or solutions?

    Hi, Larry.
    All I can suggest is that you report the problem to Yahoo. Beta code means that the developers know they've not worked out all the bugs and hope users will play "Test Pilot."
    Good luck!

  • Yahoo Widgets Won't Run

    Hello, I posted this in another group and have had no responses so I thought I'd try here.
    I downloaded the Yahoo Engine and several Yahoo widgets onto my MacBook but they won't run. The Engine installs but none of the widgets appear.
    I downloaded the same Engine and widgets on my Mac Pro and they run just fine.
    Does anyone know why my MacBook would not run them while my Mac Pro does?
    Thanks,
    Lisa

  • Yahoo Messenger won't sign in Macbook (13" Black) v. 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)

    Been having some really weird issues with Yahoo Messenger on my Macbook (13" Black) O/S Snow Leopard v 10.6.8.  My sign-in/log-in screen has been in this perpetual cycle of saying "signing -in" but nothing happens..  I have no other issues with other messenging apps (e.g iChat, AOL-IM, ICQ, etc) work just fine, but just non stop things with Yahoo.  Don't know if it ever worked on here, but now its becoming an issue because I'm starting an online class now and need to have this for discussion groups.   Any help would be great .. Thanks ! (BTW this screen shot has been goign on for about an hour)

    The most random fix just happened for me, something I didn't think of trying. 
    At the Log-In Screen:
    Click File --> Preferences --> Select the Connection option (I changed the toggle to 'Behind Firewall') .. Although, I'm not behind a fire wall or anything but just played around with the settings and it worked and now I'm able to log in .  strange.. very strange..

  • New 27 iMac won't run Chrome Beta (fresh download) - I used Migration Asst.

    I just setup my shiny new 27 inch i7 and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff from an older dual G5 running Leopard. It took nearly 12 hours to copy the 300+GB of data.
    Mostly things like iPhoto, Lightroom, Mail, etc. work GREAT.
    However, one of the first orders of business was to download the Google Chrome beta which I've been running on my MBP and MacPro.
    When I try to open the Chrome app it immediately quits (tried a restart of the iMac). The detail report doesn't shed any light on what happened to me (maybe others would be able to determine the cause from the report).
    Any ideas ?
    I was wondering if by copying stuff from a Leopard system (and non-Intel) that I now have some backwards compatible setting ON that is preventing Chrome from loading.
    I've never used Migration Assistant before, always hand copying what I needed on a fresh install. Maybe I should reinstall Snow Leopard over my current User folders.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    In the end a manual transfer of pictures, music, data, etc. was far faster than using Migration Assistant and worked fine. Just replaced Music, Pictures, etc. with the folder from the old computer and all upgrades were performed and everything was in place.
    What really made the manual migration palatable is that I have MobileMe. All of those data files (address book, mail preferences, bookmarks, etc etc) moved automatically via MobileMe sync. Without MobileMe, it would have been much harder I suppose.
    More difficult was the hassle of reinstalling Adobe Creative Suite, Office, etc. But in the end a fresh install of everything has made my new iMac i7 a screaming fast machine.
    Absolutely love it !
    Thanks for all the advice.

  • Firefox version 9.0.1 won't open yahoo messenger options in yahoo mail.

    Seems there is a problem with yahoo messenger from inside yahoo mail. When I double clicked on one of my contacts the window didn't open. Then I would have to go into messenger options and change small window to tab. Then the tabs would appear. I could go back into options and change back to small window from tab and the small window would appear.
    Lately I can't get messenger options to even open. Is this a bug with 9.0.1. I am using Ubuntu 10.10.

  • Yahoo messenger won't connect with Firefox. How do I fix the proxy settings to get it to work?

    Troubleshooting on yahoo messenger says that it had a problem with the HTTP connection. It says to use IE to open tools and then go to internet options to verify my existing settings (proxy server settings). I'm not sure how to do this on Firefox. Thank you in advance.

    Try the following solutions and whichever setting works, keep it Permanent:
    -> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    1) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option2 -> Click OK -> OK
    2) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option3 -> Click OK -> OK
    3) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option1 -> Click OK -> OK
    Check which solution works.

  • Yahoo messenger 3 beta with web cam support

    http://messenger.yahoo.com/
    Tony

    Ever since I downloaded Yahoo Messenger 3.0, I have not been able to view other user's webcams.
    II am using a USB cam.
    PC users are able to view my webcam no problem, but I can't seem to view theirs. When they send me a cam invite, I never receive the invite. If I click on the "View My Webcam" under their names on the buddylist, nothing happens.
    There doesn't seem to be an option in the menu anymore to view their cam either.
    How in the heck do I open their cams?
