10.8 mac can't send messages to ichat 6 10.7.3 mac

so a friend of mine just got a new macbook pro. I am wanting to communicate with her on our macs. I have a macbook with 10.7.3 and ichat 6. When she sends me messages, they go to my iphone instead of ichat. When I turn off my iphone and she sends my ichat screen name (ending with @mac.com) she gets a message saying that my screen name is not registered with imessage. My screen name is not associated to my iphone, only my cell # is set to receive imessages at. What can I do to receive to have my imessages that I want to come to ichat 6 on my mac, actually come to my mac?
Thanks in advance

HI,
In Mountain Lion she has Messages.
Messages is iChat+
That is to say that the iMessages  service has been added to iChat and the Name changed.
iMessages is closer to SMS on a phone than the AIM service but it is essentially a different Messaging service.
iMessages uses Apple IDs
Of course some Apple IDs issued by Apple (@Mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com) are also Valid AIM names.
As iChat does not have the iMessages part any messages she sends or tries to Send cannot be sent via iMessage.
If you ae using the same Apple ID as the Apple ID on the iPhone (Or iOS version) of Messages then they will go there.
If she has one of the three type of Apple ID I listed Above then she needs to go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and press the + button lower left and add the Apple ID as if it were an AIM Name (It is a Valid Name of course)
NOTE
She must keep the password for this Apple ID to 16 character or less to use with AIM as this is the AIM server limit.

  • Mac mail can receive but can't send messages

    mac mail, can receive messages, but can't send messages. The sent symbol just spins around, but does not send.

    I am using Mail 7.3, on OS X 10.9.4 (i.e. latest as of Aug 2014).   I have 4 email accounts, all with their own SMTP servers.   All stopped sending email at the same time.
    Taking the hint from your suggestion, I looked in Mail > Preferences > Accounts, and all the SMTP servers were shown as offline (this must be a Mac Mail bug).  All accounts appear to be Online under Mail > Mailbox (pulldown), and are also Online if one highlights the Inbox account, right click.
    The trigger for the bug, in my case, was adding a new email account, and when Mail could not access it, it took everything offline.  Removing that account did not solve the problem.
    After spending hours trying all sorts of alternatives, I found the way to solve the problem was to delete all the outgoing mail servers, and reenter the information (the same information).

    Hi, i am having the same problem. this is what i have noticed.
    I have 2 x imac's and 2 x macbook air's
    i upgraded the 2 macbook air's and 1 of the imac's to Mountain Lion, all these have problems acessing sites that require you to login .
    the one remaining imac is still running lion and works perfect.
    i am using a dlink router with DD-WRT firmware, i tested teathering from my iphone and i can log into websites fine using the newly upgraded mac's.
    It's not a wireless issue as my imac is using an ethernet connection.
    is there a compatibility issue with some routers.

  • Why i can´t send message by iMessage

    Hello friends
    I can't send message from iMessage (MBP or iMac) for my friend (use iPhone5S), but i can send for other people, and my friend can do the same, send for other people but can't send for me.

    Hi,
    If your Mac version is sending From your iPhone number check that the Messages app is set for a country or region in the iMessages account.
    Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages account > Click th Details button > Sign In (again) > In the pane that then appears check the country code nearer the bottom.
    If they are sending to your iPhone Number they may need to add the Country Code.

  • Can't send message using Messages app on iPad

    iOS 5.0 Messages app - can't send message to valid contact using iPhone?

    I have been having the same problem. I have a dot mac account wich I use as my primary e-mail account. I receive just fine, I just cannot send using mail. If I loggon to the dot mac website, I can send mail that way. But I cannot send using mail. The strange part is, I can use mail on my iBook (G3), and my daughters eMac (G4). I have checked, they all hace the same options checked in the account settings. But, my pride and joy (iMac G4) refuses to send mail. It gets frustrating having to logon to the website just to send mail. HELP.

  • Can't send message on AT&T - won't connect to server. Anyone else having this issue?

    All of a sudden I can't send messages on my AT&T account. I get a message that Thunderbird cannot connect to server (STMP). Called AT&T and they verified all the settings; I can access my email account on Apple Mail and through Yahoo (AT&T's email provider) yet I cannot send messages on Thunderbird. I can receive but not send.
    I did try deleting the account and re-establishing it however that did not help. Anybody else have this issue?

  • I can't send messages or call people with my NEW iPhone 4s.

    Hello.
    I live in Sweden and I ordered my iPhone 4s some days ago, I got it on Wednesday.
    Ever since I got it I noticed that I was having problems with my carrier, "Tele2". I can't send messages or even make calls, and I'm very disappointed. And I also can't connect to the 3G network at times, it just goes away, and this always leads to a reboot.
    I have to restart my phone every 5 minutes, and THEN I can send about 1-2 messages, then it goes back to what it was before. Crap.
    And I also called the people on "Tele2" they said that they don't know if it's the software or if it's the hardware. And that I simply have to wait until they know.
    I'm just wondering. Is there anyone out there who's heard anything about solving any problems like these? Perhaps and update to 5.0.1 ? Please let me know, I would appreciate it very much!

    They said that it wasn't them, they contacted Apple and they were aware of the problem. But still Apple didn't know if it was hardware of software problems.

  • Can I send message in byte format

    hello
    Why no one is answering me
    but still I want to know that Can I send message in byte format to inbox
    message.setContent(byte [] b, "text/plain");
    And Can I receive mail in byte format from inbox.
    String dis = new String((String)messagePart.getContent());
    plz resolve my problem

    Obviously you have a very skewed view of the world
    based on what you want to do. The most common thing
    people want to do with email is not send raw binary data.
    The most common thing people want to do is send text to be
    read by a human.
    Nonetheless, it's very easy to send binary data. Again, the
    most common case is sending text. The thing that's important
    with text is that it appear as the same text at the other end.
    That's easy. But if you have text where every CR, LF, and
    space has to appear absolutely unchanged at the other end,
    that requires a bit of extra work.
    The demo program sendfile.java that comes with JavaMail
    shows how to send a file as an attachment. That's the core
    of the program. Here's the 6 lines of code you need to add
    to that program to do what you want:
    ------- sendfile.java -------
    100c100,104
    < FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(filename);
    FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(filename) {
    public String getContentType() {
    return "application/octet-stream";
    };113a118,119
    msg.saveChanges();
    mbp2.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "base64");Is that so hard?
    If you don't want to send the file as an attachment, but rather as the one
    and only body of the message, it's even easier. Let me know if I need
    to write that program for you as well.
    And if you already have the data in memory in a byte array, that's even
    easier still.

  • Can't send messages using third-party keyboards

    Hello all - I'm using Skype for iPad on iOS 8.1.. I've decided to install Swiftkey keyboard and since I've done that, I've noticed that I can't send messages. After writing them down, "send" button doesn't show up, until I switch back to default iOS keyboard.
    Have you seen this issue?
    Thanks,
    Daniel.

    I have the same problem with SwiftKey and skype on ipad. I'm able to send messages doing a trick but it's a bit annoying. You can tap on the text field so the keyboard comes out, flip the ipad between vertical and horizontal, tap anywhere so the keyboard disappears and then tap again on the text field. The send button will show up.
    Not ideal at all but at least you'll be able to send messages until the issue is resolved
