IMessage on Lion. - why not? - or... what else can I use?

I was really looking forward to getting iMessage on Lion.
Surely that's the point of iCloud to unify your devices and enable you to e.g.. come in from work, put down your phone, switch on your iMac and go through your messages continuing conversations.
My scenario:
My business partner and I are constantly messaging each other but we each have to move around during the day.
We simply want a messaging programme that will work with our iphones, macbooks and imacs.
I want to see the record of both sides of our conversation whichever device I use.
Looks like I'll have to stick with clunky Skype which does at least have this feature.
Any better suggestions?

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

    my sons ipod is disabled from trying password to many times my usb port on my computer does not work. what else can i do to get this disabled off my sons ipod please help!!!

    The only thing you can do is place the iPod in Recovery mode and restore via iTunes on a computer. It is a good security feature.

  • What else can I use beside Compressor?!

    Compressor is now useless to me. Unknown time remaining will not fix. What else can I use? Anyone know?

    Look, we understand your frustration and, since we've been hanging out here a long time, we differentiate newbie issues as separate from actual or legitimate problems by seeking information newbies refuse or simply do not understand how to supply. You've added significant information that will allow us to assist you.
    Compared to the hundreds of thousands of successful and happy Compressor users, "plenty of people" is not significant.
    The next post in this thread suggests your only hope is a complete system wipe and reinstallation. Do you want to try that and report back to us?
    It is useless if it doesnt work and yes I've never gotten to use it. I have used lessons on lynda.com. It's not that I don't know what I'm doing. Try a simpler batch, I was using the simplest of batches. The setting is conventional. I spent time on the phone with 2 different Apple tech people who know compressor. I assure you I have spent the entire day trying to fix this to no avail.
    I've learned that plenty of other people have this same problem with no solution being offered here or from Apple.

  • What else can be used

    Hi all,
    am having problem to iterate to next record when using when validate record trigger.
    what else can be used instead of next_record to iterate through?
    thanks.

    following is the problem where i have to calculate backlog by comparing it with the value presented in the database and that of the changed by user.
    for exmaple in ven_share table share_quota defined was 100% and user changes it to 40 backlog should contain 60
    upto this my logic is working fine but when i iterate to next record i want backlog to show previous + newly changed value..
    can you suggest now how can it work in any other way??
    declare
         v_share number(3);
         bck number(4);
    --     total_bck number(3);
    cursor c1 is select share_quota from ven_share where vendor_code=:ven_share.vendor_code;
    begin
              first_record;
    --open c1;
    --fetch c1 into v_share;
    for i in c1
    loop
         v_share:=i.share_quota;
         if v_share<>:ven_share.share_quota--,:system.cursor_record
              then
              if v_share>:ven_share.share_quota
                   then
                   :ven_share.backlog:=v_share-:ven_share.share_quota;
                   bck:=:ven_share.backlog;
                   --next_record;
    --     total_bck:=bck+v_share-:ven_share.share_quota;
              end if;
         end if;
    --          if :ven_share.vendor_code is null
    --               then
    --                    null;
                        --bck:=:ven_share.backlog;
              --     else
              --     if v_share>:ven_share.share_quota then
                                       --     message(v_share);
         --     message(:ven_share.share_quota);
              --          :ven_share.backlog:=bck+v_share-:ven_share.share_quota;
         --     end if;     
    --          end if;
         --     end if;
    --     end if;
    EXIT WHEN :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD ='TRUE';
    --NEXT_RECORD;     
    end loop;
    end;

  • HT1665 Left my charger at friends what else can I use for iphone?

    What can I use to charge my iphone besides the charger it came with. Left mine at friends

    Do you have the cable?  If so you can use any charger that has a USB port or plug it into a computer USB port.  If you have an iPad or iPod, you can charge it using those chargers.

  • New to IPS 4240 - What else can I use to manage it?

    I have just purchased a Cisco IPS 4240 and have it up and running. Have been using the IEV to view IPS information and that works ok. The VMS 2.2 that came included with the IPS will not work with the current Cisco works (LMS 2.5) installation that we have.
    My question is, is there any other tool besides the IEV and the VMS 2.2 that I can use to mange/monitor my IPS? the IEV seems so limited.
    I have downloaded the newer VMS from the Cisco site and am planning to test that this comming week, but wanted to know ahead of time if I needed to waste my time with this tool or not.
    Thanks!

    The latest CSMARS release is promising and honestly the netforensics solution offered by Cisco probably wouldn't be a good fit for the op, but I think Cisco needs to rething pushing the MARS in leui of everything else. As a previous customer of netforensics, and now a user of CSMARS...there are definitely many things that netforensics does better than CSMARS.
    My biggest beef with CSMARS is the seemingly casual way in which it treats time and "raw messages". IMHO, these should be sacred to any SIM. I can elaborate, but for the sake of brevity I'll just give a couple examples:
    The signature name reported in the "raw message" that MARS makes available is not always correct. Also, custom signature events report as "unknown" in the "raw message". Clearly this is not a "raw message" by any reasonable interpretation...MARS is writing bits that never existed in the original message.
    the event contextual information is very often truncated. If you rely on this a great deal, the MARS probably isn't for you. There's also no interface for decoding it, requiring a cut-and-paste into your favorite decoder.
    Believe me, I could go on. On the bright side, the MARS is showing promise...I was able to cross off my list quite a few issues after the latest upgrade.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.

  • I've installed Mavericks on my Mac Pro. It works well, generally, but will not stay sleeping! Pressing the power button twice sometimes extends the sleep mode but even that seldom results in a full overnight sleep.  File sharing off. What else can help?

    Hi fremley,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This article may be helpful with determining why your Mac Pro doesn't stay in sleep mode:
    Mac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776
    Some things reset the sleep timers, preventing the computer from sleeping:
    Hard drive access (even if you're not using the computer, a running application might be accessing your drive, such as when downloading a large file or listening to music in iTunes)
    Moving the mouse or using a portable Mac's trackpad, pressing a mouse button, or pressing a key on the keyboard
    Some System Preferences settings (see below)
    Open applications (see below)
    Input devices (see below)
    Expansion cards (see below)
    Additional drives, such as USB, FireWire, DVD, or CD drives (see below)

  • After updating my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 my imessage says "waiting to activate", I have reset the network settings what else can I do to fix this problem?

    After sucessfully installing the new IOS 7 software on my Iphone 5, my imessage will not work. It has the message "waiting to activate". I have reset my network settings several time and turn my phone off and back on. What else can I do to get the imessage back up and running?

    To sync an iOS 7 device you need to be running iTunes 11.1.1; iTunes 10.6 is way too old and won't work. You need to install iTunes 11.1.1, but to do that you need to be running at least Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    So you need to do the following:
    1. Upgrade your Mac to at least OS X 10.6.8 (later preferably, but 10.6.8 at the miniumum).
        a. Check first to see if your model Mac can be upgraded, check that it has enough RAM and so forth (2GB at the least, more if possible).
        b. If you can't upgrade your Mac, or don't want to, then you will have to buy a new Mac with the latest version of OS X (currently 10.8.5, soon to become 10.9) and iTunes 11.1.1
    2. Install iTunes 11.1.1 on your newly upgraded Mac.
    3. Sync your iOS 7 iPhone with iTunes.

    I have no clue what you mean by "all the different methods."  Here are my suggestions.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • TS1878 Disabled ipod due to passcode lock and will not respond at all to recovery steps. Original synced computer not got anymore. What else can I do? I don't care if data lost.

    My eldest son gave my youngest son his ipod. He locked it with a passcode, couldn't remember and now it is disabled. Will not work trying to get it in recovery/restore mode. Original synced computer not around anymore, either is eldest. Not worried about losing data as my young son can have it now. What else can I try?? I follow the steps and it still says ipod is disabled on ipod screen. iTunes keeps saying it needs passcode.....

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
