I'm using Mac OS X 10.6 now, and the same old problem that YM beta 3.0 has with the previous versions of Mac still persists in the 10.6. After the 1st use, YM just crashed and automatically quitted. It's even more astonishing for me to read all the feedback and comments that seem to have been going on for years now from Mac-users on the YM beta. Why are you YM programmers so lazy in updating and fixing the vicious circle of YM poor performance on Mac? I have been using YM on PC for ages, and just recently switched to Mac. It's frustrating if I have to give up all my friend list on YM just because of the YM's crash on Mac!!! I’m very disappointed with the YM beta 3.0 for Mac.

Actually have always had audio problems with all versions of YM on MAC OS X. Am on TDY many miles away from my family. They have Windows XP PC. We use YM to communicate daily. I miss my 8 & 9 year old and they miss me. When chatting the audio regularly falls out. Some days many, many times we have to restart our calls. Any remedy?

I am thoroughly enjoying my experience, but Yahoo! Messenger for Mac is ruining that experience. I'm used to a beautiful, intuitive messenger with features I love to use. This one is functional, but nowhere near the status of its Windows counterpart, something you have no doubt seen mentioned multiple times throughout this page. I have also noticed that in your reply above about Yahoo! working on fixing crashes and other bugs, you did not even mention the popular topic of Yahoo! Mac's consistent and severe lagging behind Yahoo! Messenger for Windows. In my mind this means two possibilities: 1, there is no promising news for us regarding this topic, or 2, Yahoo! IS planning something huge for Yahoo! Messenger for Mac and is just trying to build the suspense or something. I don't know if either of those are true, but I must say that you will constantly have complaints and heat and maybe even lose users if one version lags behind the other. Apple is a dominant player in the computer game, and it's not fair to rob them of an opportunity to enjoy the full Yahoo! experience. @Sarah Bacon

He's on an Intel iMac and it works fine. I'm on a G5 Tower with iSight running OS 10.4.11 and I can't get voice to work. Video works as well as always, and both audio & video works on iChat & AIM. So what's the problem with YIM? Does it require an Intel Mac? If so, that really bites. Many, if not most Mac users are like me and we hang back a few years before making such a major upgrade as it will be to an Intel Mac. Any suggestions anyone? Different mic/cam? Something not set right somewhere [yes, I have audio input set to iSight on YIM preferences!] Anyone else having this problem? Any/all help appreciated.
