    What happens when you go to messenger.yahoo.com and download the dmg and double click on it?

    Hi, no amount of downloading and double clicking will make it possible to install Yahoo Messenger on any mac above, I'd say, Lion. Yahoo and Apple parted ways a long while ago.

     

    If you DO want to try, go right ahead but the dmg's image in Finder gives this:

    The giveaway is the white circle superimposed on the Yahoo icon -- it means the app wont install let alone run.

     

    The only way to use Yahoo Messenger is either via Apple's Messenger or online via your Yahoo page.
