Updated Mac version helps with sign-in issues
September 28, 2009 on 3:52 pm | In Mac version | 38 Comments
An updated version of Yahoo! Messenger for Mac 3.0 is now available.
This latest version includes a fix for a sign-in issue that some users have been experiencing. When we tested this latest version with some of those users, they found that it did correct their problem.

Build 192773 still not working for me. Any ideas?
Comment by Luis — September 28, 2009 #
Version 3.0 Build 191946
Still seems to suck memory and CPU at times at random times.
I have a lot of friends and it takes forever for it to finally be ready to type a message after it logs in.

Sarah, it appears that the latest build I just downloaded is 178 870. Before updating, I had 191946. How is that possible? Which one is the latest build?

@dino – Only text IMs are available when you are communicating with an MSN/Windows Live contact.

Dear Sarah,
After installing the last two updated versions of Yahoo! Messenger for Mac 3.0 (191946 & 192773), the voice function (PC to PC) is not functioning. I sent 2 error reports already to yahoo, but no answer. If you can push things forward, and get a fix asap, or a least tell me what to do to fix it myself. I will be grateful. To mention, I have the MacOS 10.6 Snow Leopard, and an incompatibility issue between SL and YMess, is possible.
Thank you, and I hope to get some kind of answer soon.

@ Sarah, are you planning to develop Audio vido chat between Yahoo and Msn protocol?
Comment by dino — October 5, 2009 #
I have intermittent problems sending files to messenger friends via YIM. I’ve tried adding them via their profile, choosing “behind firewall” on the connection tab, turning off bluetooth, shutting down other programs, etc etc etc. Nothing.
Ideas?

I have lots and lots of issues with this beta version. When will your MAC users be treated with importance? It is very frustrating to have different versions than our Windows counterparts. It’s been BETA for years now. It’s more than frustrating. Please advise when we can enjoy your advanced enhancements.

Unfortunately Cindi you’re right
A few posts ago I asked if will be available videochat between yahoo and msn protocols; someone could answer?
Comment by dino — December 7, 2009 #
@dino – Sorry, but video calling is not available between Yahoo! and Windows Live users. Only text chat is. Thanks,
Sarah Bacon

YIM/Mac does not remember display images. You have to re-select an image every time you sign in. Plus, it does not share the image with people you are chatting with.
Comment by Thorzdad — December 10, 2009 #
Hey there. I’m dealing with a really annoying problem. When sending multiple files, any activity connected to Y!M is interrupted by the popping ‘File transfers’ window. I can’t write fluently, I can’t do anything, if the files are sent with speed. I tried to fix it, but I can’t find any option to deactivate the ‘File transfers’ window, or making it stay in the backgroung without interfering.
Also, I have the same problem Thorzard is having, that of the display image disappearing after signing off.
Another thing that bothers me is that Y!M for Mac doesn’t have photo sharing, a feature which I used a lot on my PC version.
Please, Yahoo, do something about these. Maybe the Mac users market isn’t that important for you, since Mac users are mostly in the US, and over there Y!M is not very popular, but we still matter.
