Yahoo Messenger in Yosemite

I downloaded Yosemite the other day on my iMac and now my Yahoo Messenger doesnt work Is there an update I need to do or what can I do to make it work again?

Wakko, will Yahoo messenger actually work with Yosemite. Mine would not work at all I uninstalled reinstalled, and still not working. Not only is it not working, Yosemite will not even allow me to access it, I click on the Icon (which is crossed out) and i get some silly message that i need to find a different version, which there is not. Only way I can get messenger to work, is to go to www.yahoo.com,, log into my mail account , on the upper left side of your mail page,you'll see the Yahoo Mail logo, under that you will see 6 icons, click on the happy face and this is your messenger, and it works. That being said, I still have not found a way to use the cam yet.
If anyone has a better solution, please let me know. I'm keen of finding out the steps Wakko, if it works your way I would love to know the steps you took, and what version of yahoo messenger do I need to look for.
Thanks

Yahoo messenger not working on messages in Yosemite

As of today, I can no longer get Messages to sign in to my Yahoo Messenger account. It was working earlier today, but since about 10 AM EDT, after selecting "Available" from the "Offline" status for Yahoo, it says "Connecting" for a while, then changes to "Disconnected."
I have seen this behavior before, in recent months, but it was only intermittent and would usually reconnect on a retry. Now it won't connect at all.
I downloaded the latest Windows version of Yahoo Messenger into a VMWare VM on this Mac just to verify that my account is still working, and was able to sign in from there just fine. But it's more convenient to have all messaging in one place.
Is anyone else seeing this? Any idea what's wrong or how to fix it?
I'm on a MacBook Pro (late 2013 Retina 15-inch) on Yosemite 10.10.2 with all updates applied.

Oh but guess what - it just started working again! Must have been something else outside my control that was broken out on the Interwebs...

Yahoo Messenger (Sprint Pre): No account button! only one Y! at a time?

Hi,
I have a Sprint Pre, and I have a Yahoo IM account set up in my Messaging application. Works great, tho sometimes it does take a long time to sign in or needs me to sign out then try signing back in for it to succeed in signing in.
When I go to Accounts and Preferences, and go to the Add Account menu, I only see two buttons, one for adding a google account and one for adding an AIM account.
I'm just checking: should I see an option to add a Yahoo IM account also? or does the fact that I already have one set up mean that I can't add another one, and the button not being there is a reflection of that?
I'm a little nervous in case I ever had to delete the Yahoo IM account or if I ever have to re-setup the account. If I do, will that button be there again?

Yahoo Messenger isn't natively supported on the Palm Pre/Pixi, and all signs point to it not ever happening. This is a known issue and has befuddled Palm users since the device came out. There is yet to be any work-arounds that I'm aware of.
When you say "messaging application", what app are you using specifically?

Web Cam does not work for yahoo messenger

Hi,
I down loaded a s/w MacCleanse, it kinda deleted a lot of files from my mac book air after which the web cam stopped working on yahoo messenger. I checked Ichat the cam works perfectly but does'nt with messenger. Does any one have a clue on how to fix this..

from my experience, attempting to use two programs that allow the use of the camera will render it unusable on the second program attempting to use it. So, if you started iChat first, then forgot to quit the program, and are now trying to use Yahoo Messenger, then you must quit iChat first and it should work.
Not unless your cam is really broken?

In 10.6, I could remove old YM users from my archive. In 10.7 and 10.8 I cannot find a YM user log. How do I remove yahoo messenger users from my archive?

In OS 10.6, I could locate the log for my yahoo messenger in the Library under Application Support/Logs/_________________ and delete messages AND users from my archive. With OS 10.7 and OS 10.8, I am only able to delete conversations one at a time and unable to delete old users at all. I am also unable to find out where new conversations are stored. Can anyone help? Thanks.

It is likely they're still stored in the same location. However, in Lion and above, Apple has hidden the Library folder by default.
To find it, hold down the option key and select the "Go" menu item, and Library will appear as an option in that list. You can then select it and from there navigate to Application Support/Logs/XXX to delete stuff.

After I downloaded the new version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262, I can't seem to play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger.

It could be a coincidence but when I upgraded to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262 I can't seem to play any games on Yahoo Messenger with my friends. I know when I updated for some reason I had to try 3 times before it took it. It shows it's updated. I'm wondering if I have to un-install and re-install it. Also, I never use Internet Explorer 8 but when I went in there to check I found a plug in check link there and it showed over there that Adobe Flash Player needed updating but it was an older version and not the one Foxfire had me update too. Now I'm really confused if this is causing a problem. I have never had to check Internet Explorer for plug ins before. Have always just updated in Foxfire since that's what I use. The Adobe Flash Player seems to play videos okay so not really sure if that's the issue or not. My Java plug-ins have been fine and have been updated awhile ago, so I know it's not that. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Well, after hours of trying to figure it out I gave up and un-installed and re-installed that last verion of Adobe Flash Player and now it seems I can play games again in Messenger. Everything else had been fine just that. I can only figure it was because it was having a hard time updating the first time and took me 3 tries. So even though it said it was installed, apparently it wasn't done correctly.
Though when I couldn't figure out what was wrong at first I looked and checked to see all the things were enabled that were supposed to be and they were.
I even tried to go to the Adobe site and download the last version I had and couldn't find it. Kept coming up with the new version. Others said if you download a particular older version it may not have all the security features in it.
This really gets to be a bit much, especially when you're by yourself and have only a smattering of knowledge of technical things.
Thanks fore responding to my question.

Cannot directly open the browser from the icon. "problem loading webpage" and "timed out" are the messages. Access was accomplished by using yahoo messenger and opening my email. if I attempt to open a new page, I recieve the aforementioned warnings.

no link to open access to the internet. I used Yahoo Messenger, clicked on the 'mail icon' and since Firefox is my default it opened and I was able to continue from there. If I try to click File, open New Page, I get the "problem loading webpage" and "connection timed out" messages

changed my homepage to Yahoo. Now Firrefox works but still cannot access ANYTHING 'Google"!

The cheap & easy way is to just drag the app to the Trash.
If you want to get all of the associated files use an app deleting app like the free AppCleaner;

How do I get my WEBCAM to work with YAHOO Messenger!!??

Someone please help. I have been trying for ages to get a webcam to work on Yahoo messenger but to no avail. I recently purchased a new webcam that stated it was usable with MAC OSX.
Still Yahoo does not seem to give me any option to broadcast my webcam. I was using Yahoo 2.5 before and I just downloaded and started to use Yahoo 3.0......still nothing. All outgoing webcam options are grayed out" on any of the yahoo messenger menues.
I used to go in the chatrooms on yahoo and be able to view and be viewed on webcam. Now that I switched to an ibook with OSX...I CAN DO NONE OF THAT anymore and there seems to be no workable solutions in sight ( I searched all the yahoo databanks as well as Mac discussion archives).
The cam seems to work on AIM but nothing on Yahoo messenger
Please, one of you mac geniuses come to my rescue
Additional info: I'm on an ibook G4 (2004), operating system OSX 10.3.9; processor speed - 1.2 Ghz PowerPC; 1.25 GB Ram

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.
