I'm not sure what you mean by "updated".  Messenger for mac hasn't been updated in a long time.  Yahoo's newest messenger isn't available for mac.  version 2.5.3 is the newest mac version.  The windows version has pc to pc calls, avitars, audibles, etc.

If you are trying to get yahoo Messenger you need to go to Yahoo and at the upper part of the screen find all yahoo services. click on it and you will see an index of all yahoo services , find messenger and click on it. you will then be able to download messenger.   tbech7430.   Hope that is what you were needing

Reinstall Yahoo Messenger...it only takes a couple seconds.  If you don't have the .exe file, download it from the main Yahoo page.

Make sure that you have Yahoo! unblocked from your current Firewall, Antispyware, NAT software...\n\nTry what I said first, if still doesn't connect, then try visiting the link bellow and follow click on the appropriate link depending on your version and problem:\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/messenger/\n\nGood Luck

I am asssuming you're using Yahoo Messenger.  On June 1st, Yahoo stopped supporting webcam for users of versions below 7, and since Yahoo hasn't updated it's Mac version of messenger in years, we, as mac users, are once again shunned.  They're trying to make the cam thing go faster, or they just want people with older versions to update so they will get more advertisements.  I have tried to use Jabber to communicate to my Yahoo friends.  I got the text to work, but so far, no video.

Try the older version of yahoo messenger (7.0) which works better\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm\nUninstall your current version first.

First, I'd recommend uninstalling your Messenger and downloading and installing the newest verson from Yahoo!  When you do this, though, you might have a corrupt file in your Yahoo! Messenger directory. To fix the problem, you must manually delete the "Messenger" directory on your C: drive (default), then reinstall the Yahoo! Messenger application.\n\nTo delete the directory:\nClose the Yahoo! Messenger application if you currently have it running. Make sure all instances of Internet Explorer are closed. \nGo to your desktop and double-click "My Computer." \nClick the "C:" drive. \nGo to:\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!\nHighlight the Yahoo! Messenger folder and press the Delete key on your keyboard. (All archives will be deleted if they are not copied. Please see below.)\n\nTo install:\nClose all running applications except for your Internet browser.\nVisit the Yahoo! Messenger home page.\nClick the "Download Now" button.\n\nTo copy your complete Message Archive:\nClose Yahoo! Messenger (if it is currently running). \nGo to your Desktop and double-click "My Computer." \nSelect the "C:" drive. \nGo to:\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!&#92;Messenger&#92;Profiles\nYour "Profiles" folder contains your complete Message Archive. Copy it to the same location on another computer if you wish to view it elsewhere.\n\nNote: If you copy this folder to another computer, your complete Message Archive will be copied, overriding the Message Archive on the computer to which you are copying.\n-------------------------------------------------------------\nAfter that, if you still have problems, make sure that you have the latest version of Macromedia's Flash Player installed, as Messenger uses certain Flash components on startup.  \n\nBeyond that, your Yahoo! Messenger connection information may be incorrect. Follow these steps to configure your connection:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "Firewall with no proxies" option.\nSelect the correct Internet connection type and country from the pull-down menus.\nClick the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in again with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button.\nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button.\n\nThe above configuration works in most situations. (However, if you connect in this way, you won't be able to use the Voice feature.) If this configuration doesn't work, follow these steps:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "No network detection" option and then click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in again with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button. \nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button.\n\nIf neither of the above options work, you're probably behind a firewall or proxy server that requires you to enter its address. Follow these steps:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "Use proxies" option. \nEnter your firewall or proxy server's address and port number. Contact your network administrator (if you're at work), or your Internet service provider (if you're at home) to determine the correct firewall and proxy settings.\nClick the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button.\nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button. \n------------------------------------------------------\nIf you try all of the steps above and Yahoo! Messenger
