I need to see if anyone is using Yahoo Messenger for Mac 3.0.2 (I suppose that older versions of this software will also work for testing). If so, can you please try to log into the service and let me know what happens??
Yahoo Messenger for Mac is a really good way to communicate and keep in touch with friends, but it is also a good way to meet new friends in the chat rooms. Those chat rooms are classified in different categories attending to age and theme. IMCapture for Yahoo is designed to capture and record audio and video calls made from Yahoo messenger for Mac OS X. It saves recorded files as MP3, WMA or AAC files and Quicktime Movies (MOV), MPEG4, MPEG, VOB, PSP MPEG4, SWF and FLV, AVI.
I think that the Mac verison runs on a different server than the Windows version, as I can log into the Windows version, but the Mac version tells me that I have entered incorrect login credentials. I tried it on my Mac Pro and my Macbook Pro - same result with each machine. I also deleted every file associated with Yahoo Messenger on my Mac Pro and reinstalled it twice - no change.
I appreciate any efforts to help me figure this one out. Thanks in advance.
