Why doesn't Yahoo update it's IM software for Macs or allow Mac users to access the LAUNCH music website?

Macs are a step down from Windows.  Therefore, it has less features and less updates than Windows.  If you want more updates get Windows.

yeah i had to disable the pop-up blocker, after you click on yahoo launch, hold "control" then hit "shift". that should disable it, and just click on launch again, it should play.

Because either \nA. your internet connection is not powerful enough (dial up)\nB. yahoo always has something that messes up\nC. you don't have enough RAM to support the music and everything else that is running

most of the software that is created today are not compatible with mac...not only the yahoo video ::\nmac require's software's to be MaC approved or there's a tie with the mac company:: for example the safari browser ::\nIt's more of a corporate thingy rather than a technical one

No problem- Download AdiumX, which is a great free messenger which supports Yahoo messenger, as well as ICQ, MSN and other major messenger programs.  It works great, believe me! And what's more, it's a native cocoa application (which means it was written uniquely for the Mac OS X), and integrates with the OS X's Aqua environment.\n\nI used to have the lousy MSN version for Mac, which (surprisingly:) ) didn't start many times, and since I found AdiumX, I'm so happy with it I would never switch again.It has NEVER crashed since I've started using it.  It is sleek and elegant, it has got many features, it is being constantly developed and updated, and it supports the use of a few different messengers and accounts at the same time.    Explore it to reveal its full potential!

Yahoo Messenger with Voice is not available on the Mac Platform as of yet.  Once the official version is released, it will most likely become available.  Yahoo Messenger with Voice is only in beta as of now.

Well, all Yahoo instant messenger software has voice. However you don't have to use the voice feature, there might even be a way of disabling the voice feature.\n\nBut as for your problem downloading it, do you have dial-up? Because it could take a while on dial-up. You still should see at least some progress though. If you have a high speed Internet connection then it probably can't connect to the server. Are you behind a firewall? I don't know what port it uses to connect and download it but maybe if it doesn't use the standard port 80 it uses a different port which is being blocked in your case.

Actually, the previous answer is half right. Yahoo messenger with voice is compliant with Mac and Windows not Solaris, BSD or Linux. It's your operating system, not your browser.

I have the same problem! And... I have a lot of trouble signing in initially too... \n\nI reformatted my computer recently and re-downloaded AIM and it still has the same problems... I think its just their program. I stick to Yahoo! It works a lot better.

I think its impossible if you want old version of YM from Yahoo! But you can search on the net, who know some one still keep it. :)\nRight now i use old version (ver 6) than the new one. Because the newest version has a lot of trouble with my PC.

You should be able to download it.  Are you able to download other files from other sites?\n\nMy suggestion would be not to use Yahoo messenger but use Gaim which supports Yahoo Messenger, AIM, MSN messenger, ICQ, IRC and others.  Check out Gaim at http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

Warning:  I'm not going to be a lot of help since I have an iBook (no Intel).  However, Chat to my knowledge has never been available for Mac users (same with many other Yahoo services).  This is due to the business relationship between Mac and Microsoft--how many Microsoft for Mac products really work well, afterall (Outlook, Frontpage, etc.)?  I hope I am wrong and you can use Chat, but those are my thoughts on the matter.  All the best to you.

I don't believe Yahoo Music Engine will take over file associations unless you tell it to.\n\nBut, in case it does, you can go into Yahoo Music Engine and go to the preferences menu (Edit->Preferences).  Click on My Music in the left-hand column.  On that tab is a section for File Preferences.  Here you can check which ones you want YME to handle.  You can also uncheck "Restore file associations".\n\nOnce you've done this, you'll want to double-check that Musicmatch is still set up as default player.  Close up YME and open Musicmatch.  In Musicmatch, go to Options->Settings.  At the top of the General tab, make sure the boxes are checked in the section "Use Musicmatch Jukebox as the default player for".  You can also select the radio button to "reclaim media files without asking", which will restore file associations should they be stolen away.

I think the most recent version is only 7.0.0.437, so you're not very far behind. \nThis version is a Beta version, but it's available at the messenger home page. \nJust go to yahoo.com and click the messenger icon. \nFrom the messenger home page, click either the Get it Now button for current 7.0 or the Try the New Beta button for that one.\n\nI've been on it since shortly after it was put out and have no sound issues with it.

I'm having the exact same problem.  I've tried multiple browsers, I've made sure Java was updated, nothing works.  It's not your system, it's Yahoo's fault, but their customer service is worthless, there's nothing we can do. For anyone who hasn't bought it yet, please don't buy it.
