Works great for me.....i Just open the manager went to restore/backup and simply took the downloaded service book and opened the advanced menu in backup/restore and inserted the service book to my device plain and simple!!! and now i have yahoo on my blackberry with at&t.
How do I take the downloaded service book and insert it to my device using the advanced restore/backup util.?

With Desktop Manager open and handheld connected, open the Backup and Restore Option, and click on the Advanced button
On the right will be your device databases, on the left will be desktop file databases. now, choose File and Open and browse to the downloaded service book restore file (something.ipd) and select open, now the service book should appear on the left side. select the service book and press the arrow that points to the right.
ME NEITHER! arrrgh! I am looking through it , theres a ton of media mall svc books, some wap2 svc bks,.. I am so technologically illiterate, and im scared to mess with my beloved new BB but i MUST have messenger!
I did not see the Desktop [sync] service book either. I went ahead and continued with the rest of the instructions and everything seemed to work just fine. My yahoo messenger is working like a champ now.
I am not sure what that is used for. I have only had my BB for a few days, so it may be something that I have not installed/setup on mine at this point. I am still learning at this point.
Thanks for all the information provided in this post. I use Yahoo fairly extensively in my work and was fairly bummed at first when I found out it would not work with ATT. Finding this post really made my day.

I tried that, and it didn't work. I don't have the Desktop [sync] service book. Tried skipping the steps that involved it, but still get the usual error when trying to use YIM. Any ideas?
1. Yahoo Messenger is working, and I'm getting incoming messages from my email accounts, but now if I delete emails in my Blackberry, they don't get deleted from the email server (and vice versa).
Is this because I deleted the "Desktop [SYNC]" service book from my BB? How do I resolve the above issue?
2. In the original instructions of this thread, Step 3 says: "Open Desktop Manager and restore that service book (Click here for How-To)". Which service book is being referred to?
Bottom line: Inserting YM service book does wipe out your existing books, but going to BIS site you can have them resend your books which doesn't wipe out the YM book you just added. Make any sense? Hope so.
I decided this morning to be clever and upgrade from YIM v1 to v2... and spend the remainder of my day trying to fix what I had managed to screw up!
I am SOOOOO glad I found this post tonight! I had it all back to normal withing 15 minutes. Turns out I just needed to find the new service book for 2.0!
