Hi Peggy13,
This sounds like a known issue reported here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
# Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
# Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
Hopefully this helps!

  • Yahoo messenger does not connect after mountain lion upgrading

    Hey,
    Any experts there to solve my problem!
    After upgrading to mountaion lion, the yahoo messenger can not connect to the internet, all contacts are not appearing automatically in email adress box, all editing tolls gone!!
    Thanks in advance.

    When I opened Yahoo Messenger for the first time, it asked to use my Contacts. I said no. It took about 3 minutes to finally connect to the internet and none of the names I typed appeared in the list, just their Yahoo IDs. I then went into Security and Privacy (System Prefs) and allowed it access to my contacts and the next time I logged in, the friends list looked exactly like it should. It didn't reduce the login time, however. It still takes about 3 minutes. 
    I hope this helps some.

  • Yahoo Messenger does not work in 1.4

    Several things fixed in 1.4 including clock speed but now my Yahoo messenger will not connect to server.  It just keeps trying to connect ("Signing In...')
    I also had several sms messages and a voicemail indication not come through until I recycled the phone.
    My camera and video camera do work though.

    I have the same issue on my phone and my wife's.  I doctored my phone and did a partial and a full erase and did no other configuration but go straight to Yahoo and add my messenger account and it just sits at signing in and nothing happens.  Over at precentral this is a common problem.  No matter what you do to the phone it won't work so it's not phone specific.  It's either a problem in the 1.4 code (although there are similar reports in 1.3.5) or a problem with Synergy.

  • Chat / Yahoo Messenger apps not working

    Hi guys! I just got my E5-00 network unlocked form Orange Romania. Before that, everything worked great. Now, native Chat and Yahoo Messenger 2.20 are not working anymore (same for eBuddy or other apps like those) - it says Internet connection not available. However, when using Internet app, Facebook or Youtube, I am asked to choose the internet connection I want to use, but that doesnt happen for Chat or Yahoo Messenger. Please help

  • Yahoo Messenger - Service Not Enabled on this Handheld

    I just installed Yahoo Messenger and get this error when I try to sign on.
    Is there something I'm doing wrong?  I have a BlackBerry Unlimited Internet and Texting package through ATT and I have the BB Curve. 

    AT&T doesn't allow yahoo messenger. There is a workaround, but I don't have a link to it. It is kind of involved, but doable. (Having said that . . . I didn't do it.) You should be able to find it through google or crackberry.com or even the RIM forums.
    I just downloaded JiveTalk. $20 and it works like a charm across pretty much any messenger service I think. I know for sure it works on yahoo and ms live messengers.

  • Yahoo Messenger crashes after logging in

    Just purchases a new Macbook Pro pre-installed with Leopard to which I installed YIM..after I log in the YIM crashes...deleted YIM, associated files in Library, etc and re-installed YIM...same issue...since this was the only additional software I had initially loaded onto my MBP. re-installed Leopard without backup of previous system and then re-installed YIM to see if this would resolve the issue...same occurring problem with YIM when I log in...am at a loss as what to do...
    my gf uses my old 2006 powerbook with Leopard and has no problem with running YIM on the PB nor does my daughter's new macbook running Leopard...
    any suggestions would be helpful...the first forum user who can solve my problem will receive a new hunky, musky male scented Hasselhoff hand cream with dispenser...: )

    Hi..
    Since you are running Lion v10.7.3, you need to use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reintall the Mac OS X. Not Disk Utility.

  • Can't connect to Yahoo Messenger on 3rd party chat...

    There is a great app that I used to chat for years, but since Feb 28th it doesn't let me log in my Yahoo account. It's called Nimbuzz. It gives me "Yahoo Messenger is not available" and "User blocked" errors.
    Neither Palringo or Fring can't connect to my Yahoo account. More on this, I tried other Yahoo account, but with no succes. My Yahoo accounts are not blocked, because I can log in on any computer or mobile web browser. Also, Yahoo Messenger app for Windows is working without a problem.
    Do you have any similar problems with Yahoo accounts and 3rd party chat apps?

    You can uninstall and re-install the application. You can do that by going to Menu > Settings > Application manager > Installed apps. > Select and hold the application to remove, and from the pop-up menu, select Uninstall. If it's still the same, you need to contact the developer of the application to verify if there's an issue with their application.
    Hope this helps.

  • MSN & Yahoo messenger via S160

    Hello,
    Some of our users are complaining that MSN & Yahoo messenger are not working well via the S160.
    Most of the time they can connect, but sometimes not.
    They then do a connection check via MSN, and then they can login again.
    Also the connection gets interrupted every now and then, and then they need to login again.
    Via direct access everything goes well, so I it looks like the Ironports don't like this programs.
    As MSN & Yahoo messenger are used a lot in the world, I was wondering if somebody else has seen this before.
    Hopefully someone has a solution for me, so I can fix this issue.
    Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,
    Danny

    We have seen the same issues on our S370s with AOL IM and Cisco Webex Connect (rebranded AOL IM).  Users have various levels of success logging off and back on, but then it will quit working for a while.  Sometimes when users resave their network proxy connectivity settings (without changing any items), it starts working again.

  • How do I Get Yahoo Messenger back?

    A couple of months ago it seems I inadvertently/accidentally removed my Yahoo Messenger while trying to upgrade to a newer version. It's not even in my dock anymore. I'm not tech savvy at all, so I have no ideal what I did.
    On the Yahoo page the Yahoo "Messenger" button still responds when I click it as far as showing me which one of my friends is on line, but if I click on one of their names, attempt to launch Messenger, OR, try to download any version of Yahoo Messenger, even the Beta version, nothing comes of it, with the exception of having a drop down window on this Yahoo page stating the following:
    Alert:
    +Firefox doesn't know how to open this+
    +address, because the protocol (ymsgr)+
    +isn't associated with any program.+
    ... I thought it was just on my Mac here at home, but when I tried to launch Messenger on my friend's PC laptop, the same response from my Yahoo page ensued. What's going on? Can anyone help?

    Yahoo Messenger is not part of OS X. You can download it from Yahoo or VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • 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.

  • Yahoo Messenger not using login/profile I entered...logged in as extra, but chatting as primary.

    I haven't been able to find anything on this yet, so I'm going to ask....  This is an odd one.
    I have a yahoo account, lets call it [email protected]  I have an "extra" e-mail/profile that is a on the same yahoo account, but can be logged into as [email protected]
    I use [email protected] for e-mail, etc..  I use [email protected] only for messenger/chat.
    I have e-mail on my pre configured to login to [email protected]  I have messenger configured to login as [email protected]
    Whenever I use IM on yahoo, it chats with people as [email protected], but I am logged in as [email protected]
    Has anyone had this issue?  Any thoughts... solutions?
    I am going to try configuring the e-mail app to use "[email protected]" as well, to see if that works around it (at the moment, it seems stuck syncing my new "[email protected]" account).
    In any case, I'd consider it a bug.  If I'm logged in as "[email protected]," then that is who I should be.
    I am not sure whether this is an issue with the Pre's implementation, or Yahoo's mobile API, or....?  I can login to Trillian, GAIM, or other desktop applications as "[email protected]" and NOT have any issues.  I used to do this on my Treo without any issues as well.
    Thanks!

    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:
