Break out different chats in Messages?

My wife dislikes the way all of the chats are grouped in Messages. She's sent a few messages to the wrong people.
I can't find a setting to force each new chat into a different window. I know you can break individual chats into their own window...but they are also still in that main chat window.
Ideas?

Sometimes voice is enough
no you can't do this,
send feedback to apple for consideration

IChat gives wrong error message "busy in a different chat"

An attempt within iChat to initiate an audio or video chat from an account on talk.google.com to another account on talk.google.com may succeed or fail. In my experience, if the remote account user is connecting to talk.google.com with an iChat client, the attempt succeeds; but, if the remote user is connecting with a Google Talk client on an Android device, the attempt fails. (Attempts at text chats succeed in both cases, but not audio or video chats.) Prior postings by Ralph indicate that this failure is expected. However, the failure is misreported by iChat to the local user. Instead of telling the user that the remote client is incompatible with iChat for audio or video chats, iChat tells the user "[remote user name] is busy in a different chat." That is false. The remote user is not busy in any chat. The local user's goal of understanding the nature of the problem is frustrated by this incorrect information.

Yeah but, ....
iChat will use the same Protocol (and ports) to make a Video or Audio connection to any Buddy from Any List.
That is to say that if you have an AIM list and contact an AIM Buddy and start a Video Chat then iChat will send a Visible Invite out on Port 5678 on the UDP Protocol
Then it will move to using SIP (Session Initation Protocol) on port 16402 and the UDP Protocol to send another "Behind-the-Scenes" invite as part of the connection Process.
The Failed Logs (In the Pop up that says Send to Apple) can be viewed in the Pop up (expand the "Details" triangle ).
If you start a Chat to a Jabber Buddy then the same process kicks in.
iChat even uses it to Bonjour Buddies.
Jabber Apps like Psi (if they have Video Capability) use a Process called Jingle to connect.
Google who run a Jabber server use their own Variant of Jingle in the Video Web Browser Plug-in and in the Standalone PC app called GoogleTalk as well.
This is not that compatible with other Jingle capable apps.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_%28protocol%29
iChat using SIP and Jingle are not compatible.
Therefore iChat cannot Video Chat to anyone Logged in to Google in a Web Browser who is using the Google Video Plug-in
Nor the Standalone App
Nor and Jabber app that uses Jingle on Mac or PC
Put another way iChat will only Video chat to iChat as far as Jabber Buddies are concerned.
Hence all my running around with Jabber Apps and Web Browser Logins early in this Thread.
To be clear.
iChat 5 will not let you start a Video Chat from the New Chat option in the File Menu if the person cannot video.
iChat 6 messes this up and does start Chats. (both non Camera Buddies and Off Line people where it cannot tell their capabilities)
Messages Beta will tell you for On line but Not iChat Buddies but Not for the Off Line Buddies (which it will try to Video Chat to)

Why are my imessages and text messages in a different chat when im texting one person?

when i am texting my friend and my message sends as a text everything is fine but when she replies with an imessage it goes into a different chat so i have to keep changing chats to reply depending on whether the message is an imessage or text message, how do i make it so they are in one chat?

Greetings Tiffany,
It sounds as though you are receiving iMessages from your friend yet she is receiving SMS text messages from you rather than iMessages, and this is causing your conversations to appear as two separate items in the Messages application, is that correct?
I would suggest following the steps in this article to troubleshoot this issue, so that what you send is sent as an iMessage -

Managing conversations with user on different accounts in Messages

I'm having trouble understanding how conversations work across different accounts in Messages. For example, my friend and I sent messages to each other via my Gtalk account earlier today, then a little while later I clicked on her name in the left nav of the Messages window and the earlier conversation was gone. It was only showing our last iMessage conversation via our iPhones. I went back to the Buddies window and double-clicked her name, but it still didn't bring up the earlier conversation. BTW, I didn't close the Messages window from our earlier Gtalk chat.
Would someone explain how conversations with the same person on different accounts works within Messages? I assumed it'd retain all conversations between that user's accounts within the same window.

Hi,
Once you have a person in the "To" spot it should be linked to the Service (ID or Name) that you are talking to them on.
At the right hand of their Name is a small reveal arrow which makes it a drop down to Show other options (AIM, Jabber or Yahoo as well as iMessages)
It will depend on what is stored on their Address Card.
Example pic
It thinks my landline is a possible for iMessages
I have Messages open with 4 AIM valid Accounts logged in
From three of these I can call the one on this Address card (it's well known name that have been out there for a while)
Whilst you have to use the drop down and the Chat/Conversation can swap between the services the "History" should all be shown.
Example iMessage then AIM Chat
You Buddy can change their end and send you an iMessage and a New Chat should open up.
I.e. the Highlighted chat on the left is the one shown on the right and the "hi" opened the second item in the Chat list.
I am not sure why you appear to not keeping the "first" chat open or seeing a second in the list.
Having said I am having both ends of the conversation and your Buddy may be able to silently change the Service.
However you should still have the "History".
To See older Messages (or Chats) you have to be saving them.
At the moment I am not sure this is relevant though.

How can I use Pinnacle break-out box to capture in CS5

A colleague uses Pinnacle's break-out box to capture analog video directly through CS4, bypassing Studio.
I have CS5, and bought Pinnacle Studio 14.
But when I open CAPTURE in CS5, I get a "capture device offline" statement. Anyone got any ideas?

Video chat in Messages opens in browser??

Why is it that when trying to do a video chat in Messages, the video window then opens in a browser?!
First, my request would not go through. I'd hit the video button and it was as if it wasn't even there.
Second, when my friend made the request, it opened up in my browser, and it was a terrible connection with terrible audio. Which I believe is unrelated as I know the connection speed is fast, and I'm on a new Mac Air.
Dissappointed, and slow to adopt or understand Apples changes. UGH.
ANY secrets or downloads to getting iChat back on Mountain Lion?

Hi,
Messages mimicking iChat.
I am much more an iChat person than iMessages and have mine set out like this:-
I have several Jabber and AIM based IDs and Screen Names in the Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts
AS default any Non iMessages account being enabled will then show in the Window Menu under Buddies and CMD+1 as the keystroke (So you could have just iMessage and enable the Bonjour account).
This is technically a Combined list.
If you have a GoogleTalk ID and and AIM name plus the Bonjour option enabled the list is still brought to the front by Window Menu > Buddies (CMD+1)
If you now go to the General Section of the Preferences there is a line that talks about "Gathering all Accounts into one List". (This is all Non iMessages accounts).
The Window menu will now show as many Accounts as you have logged in each with it's own Name and CMD +# keystrokes (well actually CMD+1 through CMD+9 and CMD +0 is used for the main Messages window. Any more and they don't list Keystrokes).
If the Buddy lists are open when the app is closed then they will re-appear when you re-open the app without need of the Window Menu.
Apart from any iMessaging that you might need the interface part of the Messages window for it basically becomes a Tabbed Chat window.

I accidently cut a piece of text out of a mail message

I accidently cut a piece of text out of a mail message the copied a different piece of text with out thinking is thee any way to get the first piece of cut text back?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Mail supports multiple undos. Keep on undoing from the Edit menu! Not sure how far back that undo buffer is, but keep on trying. If it doesn't work, test it so you know for the future.

"Break out" black and pms for prepress?

Help please?
I am working in Illustrator CS4, and finished a 2-sided mailer/postcard for a client in cmyk. After emailing the final PDF to the client, the client responded back to me with their print provider's request for— "native file, with black and PMS broken out".
First—the file was set up as CMYK, so I am asuming it was partly a lazy reponse/request? (not realizing it was set up as CMYK).
Second—I typically I send files to commercial print providers as a PDF (Press Quality or PDF/X:1a)—is this not sufficient for them—and why?
I appreciate any insight on this for my own edification, and I'd like to know if they asked for this beacuse they don't have certain "break out" capabilities on their end? ...OR if it's because PDF's do not provide them with editability (which I thought they did)?
Lastly, I would specifically like to know what steps I should take to prepare CMYK colors "broken out". (Step by step please?)
Thank you VERY much in advance.
Chemol

Jet,
Thanks for your feedback.
Given that this "separations request" came from the print sales rep—versus the prepress department, I am inclined to think it was "partly a lazy reponse/request (not realizing it was set up as CMYK)." ....as I stated in my initial posting. Hence, this whole discussion could be moot.
That said, I do have the Adobe Print Publishing Guide, but not much insight on file separations/what to actually look for. Also, the book does not suggest "separations" for print vendor file prep procedure—just save as PDF/X-1 or PDF/x-3.
I have tried to research this topic and I am not finding much on "real world" reasoning or situational application—ie: why some print vendors ask for it, while others do not. When is it expected, what is good practice? Are separations for PMS only? Situationally speaking—would a designer actually send a file to a printer broken down/separated by colour—translating a 2 spot colour, 2 sided card (2 pages) into 4 pages—one page per colour? Is that done in the native program ie: illustrator, or is there a SAVE feature that breaks it out for you? questions, questions......
Yes I have Acrobat Pro and have viewed it already via that method, though I am not sure what I am supposed to gain by it, it or look for specifically?
Yes, I also have a colour laser printer—I printed the separations (Host Based) instead of Composite—all 4 sheets came out in various degrees of black (similar to viewing an image via individual Channels in Photoshop). Again, not sure what I need to look for here, beyond the cool effect of an infrared appearance. ??
Yes, I stated in my original message that I was using Ilustrator CS4.
2-sided postcard:
I know not to use a "multicolour black" for text, and as I mentioned in my first response to you colour question:
1 background black (C50, M40, Y40, K100)
black text ink (K100)
There are no spot colours, and the commerical printer is a highly reputable large printing company.
Good suggestion about uploading it for evaluation, and perhaps I will look for a site like that.
Thx.

Break out iPad iworks apps?

How often do people use the tags though? I don't because I don't know what the available tas are. Do you just make them up? The few times I posted, there was no selection drop down or check boxes.
Tags are a nice way of filtering subjects. They will eventually become a great, and also a primary, way of searching for subjects and related subjects.
Yes, you do just make them up (if, when you're posting, you don't see a related tag, or you want to add further context to your post after selecting available tags). If you are going to creat a tag with multiple words, use an underscore between the words to keep them grouped together, i.e., tags_question.
When you start a topic, choose from available tags at the bottom of the text field, just above the Post Message button:
You can edit, change or add tags during the fifteen minute editing period following your original post.

How should I break out individual Acts from an entire performance?

I've successfully assembled multiple video clips and separately recorded audio into a master timeline, of a community (Chinese) New Year's show lasting 1½ hours.
I want to break out portions of that to polish and post on youku, use as a single source clip in a different project, etc. Suppose, as a concrete example, I want to work with Act 7, and have identified the mark-in and out points. I used a marker with a duration to remember it.
I suppose I could copy just that 10 minutes to a new timeline (If I could figure out how to do a non-point selection), vertically across all tracks, and start editing that: adding intro, cutting out boring parts, bringing in other assets like a logo.
That's the essential effect I want, but would very much like it to be still referencing the Master. Then, when I improve the audio or color balance of the entire thing, or add more assets from people sending in their footage, I get the updated results in the Act 7 timeline as well, even though I've cut out or re-arranged sections and it's not a single unbroken match to the original 10-minute span.
In particular, my immediate concern is to make a rough draft of the Act 7 video, before going back to reduce noise and tweak the color.
What's the right way to do this?

like jim says, if you shrink or expand the edit in the nested sequence, it wont automatically shrink or expand the nest in the master timeline. you will have to adjust it manually. so if you cut out a speech, it wont automatically shrink or adjust the sequences on the master timeline.
Then what did he mean by “Any changes in the Nested Sequences will then be carried into your master sequence.”
What kind of changes, if not edits? I thought that meant the length of the nested clip will not change but its contents will, in the same way as a media file on the master timeline.
I think nobody is understanding what I asked. I'll clarify with an illustration:
Example for Planning Workflow
My Master Real-Time Timeline contains
⋯ blahblah ⋯ [1111112222333333444444555555] ⋯ blahblah ⋯
with several tracks.
Step 1: I want to copy the labeled range (between the [⋯]) to a new timeline, which I'll call Act7ver1. Then, I'll edit it
iii2223334444445ooo
(adding clips for intro and outtro, and cutting parts out of the original),
choose which tracks to switch between and what times,
add any effects.
If this were a nested timeline, it would show up the edited way in the Master as well. Not what I'm asking.
Step 2: Receive additional video clips and add them to the Master, and add a new audio track that cleans up the original audio.
Step 2b: Revisit Act7ver1. Master's changes to source clips would show up in any timeline that uses them, so copy/paste in step 1 would be fine. But adding new tracks that are aligned with the same time range? I'll want to use the new audio track, and decide if I want to cut in any of the new video angles.
Step 3: Copy the same labeled range(between the [⋯]) again to a new timeline, which for sake of the example I'll call Act7ver二.
It will contain the entire unchanged range, not the cut-up version from ver1.
I'll edit it differently, keeping more of the talking between the music, which are exactly those parts cut out of ver1.
Different intro, etc.
Step 4: Some time later, I'll copy a part of the range to a new project. Since this is a tutorial, I'll switch between the different mic, mix, and edited sound tracks to illustrate the difference. That is, all the tracks are available, not just the normal presentation copy used normally. I don't expect to be changing the original anymore, but I like to keep the option of having the various uses see the updated version or keep the original, which is a special case of seeing new tracks present and synced.
If I save over the source file, all uses see the new content.
If I "replace clip", and the replacement is not a complete length of the original (the audio is original is 97 minutes, but I only remix one 8 minute act) it won't line up. Putting the new mix on the Master Real-Time is my solution, especially in light of (4) showing the before/after as part of the script.
So ideally I want the "smart object" I pasted in the first place to see whatever is currently in the Master at the position it refers to, including tracks that were not present before.
Understanding thus far
Simply selecting the original range and turning it into a nested timeline will not do what I want. But, maybe a more advanced use of this feature? ⋯ later: Hmm, maybe it is? Editing the timeline selects pieces of the elements without modifying them. I see a new feature highlight discussing source-edit mode and acting like a copy/paste so all the tracks show up. But I don't know if this is indeed just a cut/paste or a smart object that still allows updates to the definition (of the timeline being nested) to show up in this usage. It sounds difficult to reconcile changes to what's on the various tracks. Anyone explored this new feature and have more than a superficial review posted? (What I've seen just shows that the tracks show up "like a copy/paste" but does not explore changing the referenced timeline or limitations of editing the "pasted" track’s content.)
Adding a track to the Master won't show up in the nested timelines, but there are not a lot of them so if it is straightforward to razor it at the matching places and pop them in explicitly, that's fine.
More Thoughts
What about a script that can generate a new timeline from a marked range, across all tracks that might be present? Then it can be re-run just as easily if the Master changes, and I don't need them to automatically follow any changes: I'll push changes explicitly.
The underlying issue is getting new content into the various projects, synced up at the proper position, even if I have to explicitly grab it while editing the project. The new track has to line up properly with the clips being used.
Ad Interim
For this current project in progress, I can add a dummy track for the future cleaned audio, and get it into the nested timelines from the start. Then saving over the file or a replace-clip can take care of it later.
Intended Workflow
I need to produce a passable first draft of each Act quickly.
Then, do further work on materials that are not necessarily neatly contained within each Act, but cross through them, and are not the exact same start-time and length as any existing clip. It seems natural to do this on a Master Real-Time timeline.
Easily incorporate the new or updated material into the Act timelines, and continue editing the Acts.
then later,
Use the material in other projects (a mundane use of nesting, esp. with the new feature, is fine here for normal uses. The aforementioned video documenting the different steps is a special case.

"out of memory error" message when not out of memory

I've gotten this message before (as have others) when I'm clearly not out of memory. It's been about a year since this happened last, and I can't remember how I solved it. It seems many others have had this problem and that there has been no simple solution. It occured when I was trying to revise some titles over an imported .mov image which was downloaded from the internet. I revised the titles, but they wouldn't render. Then I got the "out of memory" error message. So far I have:
1) Logged out and logged back in
2) Rebooted
3) Pasted my sequence into a new sequence
4) Saved the project as a new project
None of these things have worked. Of course this all happens when I'm at the very end of the project with a deadline of tomorrow.

I'm having the same problem. I searched "out of memory" and found this solution on another thread..
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1162802&#1162802
However, it didn't help me and I am still looking for an answer. I am running FCP HD 4.5 and Avid Express Pro. I edidted together an 18 min video w music, no effects and exported it as a reference movie. Imported to FCP to add chapter markers and that's when I get the "General Error Out of Memory" Tried the make clip offline thing, but that didn't work. Tried exporting a different video from Avid, 3 min and that worked (with chapter marks).
Anyway, I feel your pain. If you find a solution, please mark this thread "question answered"
