Can't locate my mac but messages are dilivered to it

I can send messages to it, but it has absolutely no clue where in the world it is.
how to solve this problem?

Did you lose you Mac? Was it stolen? You'll have to be a bit more specific as to what your problem is as we can't read minds.

We've tried reactivating iMessage, deleting threads, and contacts but nothing seems to work. Has this happened to anyone else?

Restart both devices (press the HOME and power button until the Apple logo appears then releasae). If both devices have iMessage turned on and to send as SMS when iMessage is not available, the the green messages are indicative of iMessage not being available on one or both devices.

ITunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though) - is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it for each individual song which would take forever)?

After updating to iTunes 11.0.4.,
iTunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though).
is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it manually for each individual song which would take forever)?

Are these "thousands of files" in an iTunes library that simply cannot be found?
If so, assuming you know exactly where they are, hold the "Option" key while opening iTunes from your dock. You will then be given a "Choose Library" option. Choose it and point to your library.

I'm a new MAC user and I'm trying to transfer my iTunes music files to my Mac, however when I attach the external drive that contains the music files, they aren't visible on the MAC (but they are visible on my old PC). How do I get my music loaded?

Me or my pc can't see my songs, but they are still on my Ipod.

Me or my pc can't see my songs, but they are still on my Ipod.
I've connected my Ipod to my pc, and suddenly there were no songs left, but when I checked it, was the memory still full, like before.
I've disconnected my Ipod and suddenly there were also no songs on my Ipod aswell.
please help me!!

"There should be a solution I think"
Yes, to restore the iPod and reload the songs with whatever program you use to put songs on the iPod.
How do you manage to use iPod Agent to transfer songs to the iPod since this is what it says in the iPod Agent FAQ?
"iPod Agent is not a music manager. It does not provide the ability to organize your music and transfer it to your iPod. Apple's own iTunes does a great job of this and thus we don't see a reason to try to duplicate it's functionality. iPod Agent is meant to work hand-in-hand with iTunes."
If you don't use iTunes, what "library" do you use?

Back ups disappeared. I can see the folder structure but they are all targetless alias.

Hi,
A couple of months ago I restored a Lion MacBook Time Machine Back up to a new MacBook Air using Mountain Lion. Obviously, the whole content wouldn't fit in the considerably smaller hard drive of the MBA, so I only downloaded what was most important, and left the back up in my external disk to access if I needed other files.
The thing is, I did access the files a couple of times, but sometime in the past two months the back ups have dissapeared. Instead, I can find my fold structure, but they are only aliases. There are no files there.
I used finder to browse through all the different dates inside the Time Machine folder, but there were still only aliases.
The Time Machine Back up folder reduced in size from about 500GB to 45GB, but I have not deleted anything. And I haven't set up a new time machine.
Any one has any idea of what might have happened?
Thanks in advance.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Got a question on mail. We got two e-mail addresses, both different, but messages are picked up from the same server at Vodafone. Received at my iMac I want them to be splitted to two accounts, depending on each e-mail address. How to do this?

I can print from my Mac but not from my iPad.

I can print from my Mac but not from my iPad ,any ideas?

you can read here about airprint
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
if the printer don't support that then you need to find a printing app in app store
which will act the role as printer driver for the device to speak with the printer

HT4906 There are random photos in my photo stream on the Mac, but they are not on my iphone. I can't delete these photos?

I have random photos that appeared in photo stream on the Mac, but not on my iphone. And I cannot delete these. Help?!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

I can send calls from Mac but incoming calls do not show up on Mac.

Just downloaded Yosemite 10.10 on 10-21-14. I can make calls on my mac but unable to receive calls on my Mac. No notifications for incoming calls on my mac. Everything else runs fine. Messaging and calls from my mac works fine. I am running IOS 8.1 on a iPhone 4s. I have a 2009 Macbook Pro 2.54 duo with 8 gb of ram.

There is no Adobe printer in recent versions of Mac OS. Look instead for a Save As Adobe PDF pull down.

How can I see exactly what time messages are sent or received from IPhone 4

Is there any way to view exact times that messages are sent and received from an iPhone 4 running iOS 7?

If you are using iOS 7, then slide the text bubble to the left and you can see the time stamp to the right of the bubble.

TS2755 Receiving "Message Send Failure" notification, but messages are going through?

For the past few days, I have been receiving a "Message Send Failure" after every iMessage that I send. The messages are going through, but I still receive the notification every time. I have restarted my phone, signed out of and back into iMessage, and reset my network settings. Nothing seems to be working. Anyone have a solution? I'm having the same problem on my iPad, which leads me to believe it's a problem with iMessage at large as opposed to a device problem. Thanks!

If you have others that are receiving your imessaging but not the group you are attempting to send to then do this:
Click on your text messaging area using imessaging enabled and then type a message to yourself. Do this test to verify that your imessaging apple server is working properly. IF you get the messsage back to you in BLUE this indicates to you that both the outgoing and incoming text messaging is working as imessaging. With this piece of information verified that will indicate there are connectivity issues with individuals or all that are a part of the group you are attempting to contact. Please do not conclude that at a point in time this communication worked via imessaging that there may be some in the group that are now having conectiviity issues of their own.
Good luck, Friend.

Can see song on mac but not at the spot placed on shuffle

Hi,
My son's problem is he placed a song at a
certain place on his ipod shuffle. It can be seen
when it's mounted on our mac but it's not at that
place when he's listening.
Thanks for any suggestions
Robert

I noticed that recently. I think it's a bug in iTunes (not sure when it started). I put a song (actually a podcast) first on the iPod's ordered list, as seen in iTunes. I see iTunes sync with the shuffle. When I play the shuffle in sequential play mode, it is not first. I used to do this often, so I know it worked before.
My work-around - After moving the song, click on the column header for Artist or Name (anything to change the sort order). Then, after iTunes syncs the change, click back on the left-most column header to change the sort order back to load order (the one where you can move songs around). When the iTunes updates the shuffle again, it seems to update the shuffle properly and that song will play in the correct order (on the iPod).
I wrote a bug report here,
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
so if it's the same thing I described, you may want to do the same thing, just so Apple has another report.
