Yahoo messenger on Mac

I successfully loaded yahoo messenger - yeheey. But my buddies can't view my picture/image nor can I view theres - can anyone help me at all. I greatly appreciate any tips and tricks. Thanks.

I just tested Messenger for Mac, which I just downloaded because of your question. I had no problem getting my recently bought Macbook laptop with Leopard to engage and send a webcam picture to a Yahoo messenger account using Windows XP yahoo messenger on the other account's computer. I did not test all the features, just typing an IM and sending a webcam picture from my built in laptop webcam on this Macbook over to a computer with Windows XP. All I had to do after installing and logging in was go to WEBCAM / Start Broadcast etc. It worked fine.
I used the Mac Leopard OS on the Macbook and do not yet have windows added to my macbook but am thinking about how to get it because of the need to occasionally use Internet Explorer on certain websites.

Hi,
That error message means that you are trying to download the file to a folder that you don't have access to write files to. Try changing the default Downloads location (via Safari Preferences) to your Desktop and retry the download.

Yahoo Messenger for Mac

Why does photosharing and file transfer not work for Yahoo Messenger for Mac?

Hi, tvpappy. On the Yahoo Messenger homepage, it's noted that v. 3.0 Beta requires at least os X 10.4. If you're still running 10.3.x (as the System Info below your post indicates), then that's why YM 3.0 Beta doesn't run on your machine.

Problem with Yahoo Messenger for MAC

my yahoo messenger was working perfectly till today. it refuses to automatically scroll down to the latest or newest message. i have to manually scroll down each time i wanna read a new message which is extremely inconvenient & annoying. how to i go about resolving this problem?
i tried uninstalling yahoo messenger by dragging the yahoo messenger icon into the trash then download & reinstall yahoo messenger from scratch but problem still persists.
i'm very new to mac, only got my macbook 4 days ago. any help will certainly be appreciated.
thank you.

Perhaps emptying the Caches would help, actually I'd do more, and my preferred method is to use Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.

Yahoo messenger for Mac stopped displaying Real names, showing only ID's

Hello all,
I'm using Yahoo messenger version 3.0.2. All of my listed contacts are shown their id's and can not see their real name or nick name. It's so frustrating to misfinding my friends from my list. Please help me out from it.
According to yahoo messenger guide preference>appearance > tick nick name/first and last name. Unfortunately there is no Appearance option in left side.
Thank you,
Byambagerel

HI,
I only see IDs as I have not allowed the app Access to my Contacts app.
I don't know enough about Yahoo App to say if the server can "push" real names or display names at you the way AIM does.

Downloading Yahoo Messenger for MAC

I am trying to download and install yahoo messenger. Everytime I try to download it, it tries to download a binary file, not the .dmg file necessary to install it. How do I get the .dmg file to download?

A .dmg file is a binary file.
I went to
<http://messenger.yahoo.com/download/mac/>
clicked the Download Now button and Safari downloaded a 22MB disk image file. No problem whatever.
What exactly is your problem?

Yahoo Messenger for Mac Grumbles

Perhaps this has been posted many times -- but Yahoo has a rather "crippled" version of their Yahoo Internet Messenger (v3.0 Beta) that's been out there for over a year with only minor tweeks from Yahoo.
Is there any way that Apple Corporate folk can beat up on Yahoo and get a YIM that's comparable to what's offered for Windows?
Jerry
P.S. If there's a better Mac forum for this post, let me know?

brody,
I did write to Yahoo, and I did tell them that their MacOS versions are seriously out of date -- and I did say that in my initial post. Their answer was meaningless, and completely off base.
The reason I posted my grumble here was to ask everyone on these Forums to complain to Yahoo -- my lone voice means nothing to Yahoo. 10,000 Mac users might have some force.
If you're of a mind to let Yahoo hear from you, go to this page: http://developer.yahoo.com/community/suggest.html

Anyone, yahoo messenger for mac?

how do setup my Messenger to output sound when my friend is just logging in , it is useful that i can chat with them instantly.
and how do i setup apple Mail to access yahoo mail?

Both of these questions can be answered by visiting the respective websites.
MSN Messenger
1. Menu: Messenger > Preferences
2. Click on 'Alerts'
3. Make sure 'Display alerts when contacts come online' and 'Play sounds for alerts' are both checked.
Access Yahoo! Mail via POP in Mail.app
1. Menu: Mail > Preferences
2. Click on 'Accounts'
3. Click the 'Create an account.' button in the bottom left of the preferences window.
4. Choose 'POP' from the 'Account Type:' drop-down.
5. Fill in the respective name/email fields.
6. Incoming Mail Server (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
7. Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk
POP access with Yahoo! only works if you've agreed to receive Yahoo! delivers messages.

MSN and Yahoo Messenger for MAC do not offer voice and CAM features

Greetings and Happy New Year to all
I have asked this question twice before and nobody seems to be able to help.
I travel alot and just purchased a Powerbook 12 inch. I miss my windows notebook because I was able to use my CAM and Chat with my kids when I need to travel. I also have a Imac G5 and I should have learned that I could not use CAM or Voice on it either.
I just want to know " is there a third party program which has voice and CAM capabilities????????? If anyone can guide me here I would appreciate it very much.
Sincerely
Edward

You want the latest version of aMSN. It works great for webcam use. And the website should have instructions about your firewall issue.

Yahoo Messenger - Invalid credentials?

I'm getting more and more frustrated with Yahoo every day.
I have been using Yahoo messenger 3.0.2 for some time, with no issues. The last few days it is rarely working on my MacBook Pro. I keep getting invalid credentials message. I re-set my password, I can log in to the mail just fine, and use the app in my iphone just fine, but the app on my MacBook just keeps giving me this same error.
I have deleted it and reinstalled numerous times, even downloaded a new installer for it and re-tried. Deleted the preferences files and the caches. Once in a while I can get it to work. But if I close it again, most of the time I get the same credentials message.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to contact Yahoo Messenger for Mac tech support and/or post in their forum.

Yahoo messenger/ Aol messenger trouble

I clicked on the download button at the yahoo messenger for mac site, and a "ymsgr2.5.3-osxinstall.bin" downloaded onto the desktop... i click on it and it says there's "no default application specified to open the document". The same thing happens with AOL messenger. Im guessing the installing is supposed to happen by itself and it doesn't seem as though there's an install program being run... not really sure how to fix the prob, but id really like to start IM'in. thx for the help!

Hi,
You're probably just missing the program, StuffIt Expander, used to expand these compressed files.
You can obtain the download for that from here:

Hi all,
yes yes Yahoo have problem w/ video connection between PC and Mac. Mac-Mac will work as well as PC-PC. I was playing a lot around and found temporary solution, however this doesn't mean that Yahoo now can go and forget about fixing that problem. So my solution is this. You first need to make video connection using iChat on Mac side and AIM on PC side. How to make it work? Just use the link (Thanks Ralph u r the greatest):
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html#_Service
BTW if windows r just XP or XP w/ SP1, dont get troubled w/ firewall settings... Also as u r setting TCP and UDP ports in Firewall settings (on windows side as nicely described in the link above) check the AOL Instant Messenger under the Exclusion window as well.
After u r done w/ setting PC for video chat, make video connection between PC and iChat. U will notice, that resolution is not the greatest.... Then close your video chat windows (both on PC and Mac) and start Yahoo messenger. Important step is, that Mac person has to invite for Video chat on Yahoo messenger first. Only when PC user will c Mac user, than PC user can start his video cam. Before that, his cam must be of. So after PC will c Mac video, than PC invites Mac for Video and everything will work. Also u will notice, that fps increased after all this.
Sorry at this point I have no scientific explanation how iChat-AIM enables Yahoo video. I think its somehow related to Win Firewall settings. After this, sometimes u will be able to start video on Yahoo directly w/o AOL. Sometimes u will need to do AOL trick, in order to get video going again. I have not had enough time to try all possibilities yet.
Good luck, and I know it sounds complicated. But trust me, if my mom (70 yo) did that on the other side of the world, than its worthy. Lets hope that Yahoo will release new version soon. I have complained to them last week. If more people would send complains, than maybe they will fix faster….
Sincerely,
Justas
