iMessages and file transfers

I am running Yosemite 10.10.4 on my MacBook Pro, and am having trouble receiving file transfers from friends on Yahoo Messenger. They say they are waiting for me to accept the file transfer but I never see a window asking me to accept. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

Hi,


The Yahoo Plug-in to Messages has not changed since iChat 6 so don't wait.

It only does Text Chat.


Yahoo took the Mac version down after Apple added this to iChat 6.

At Yosemite it became incompatible with the OS.


You might want to use another Yahoo compatible client like Adium.
