Cant find messages app on macbook air.

I have version "Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5" and want to iMessage with it. I've looked in applications and spotlight search for message app and nothing has come up. Please help!

It's called iChat in 10.7 and previous - unfortunately your version will not do iMessaging (texting) with iOS devices - you would need to upgrade to 10.8 or 10.9 for that. iChat will do regular computer-to-computer chat using a Gmail, AOL, or Yahoo address, though.

How do I stop getting text messages on my macbook air

How do I stop getting text messages on my MacBook Air?

Hi,
The Mac has an App that is called Messages and one of the accounts in it is the iMessages one that can sync with the iOS one.
Open the Messages app and go to the Preferences (In the drop down Menu in the Apps name in the Menu Bar)
In the Preferences select the Accounts tab.
Select the iMessages account if it is not selected.
Untick the iPhone Number to stop iMessages sent to your iPhone Number appearing on your Mac.
Also go to the General section of the Preferences.
There is an items that reads "When I quit, set the Status to Off Line" select this.
This will stop any incoming Messages (from any source that Messages can join) from launching to app when you have not started it but your Computer is On.
You may also want to go to your iPhone Settings and remove the Apple ID.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Can't connect to Messages on my MacBook Air

I am suddenly getting the following message on my MacBook Air. Messages works on iMac, my iphone 4s and my iPad 2.
"Your Apple ID ___________ cant be used to set up Messages at this time. If this is a new Apple ID, you do not need to create another one. To use this Apple ID with iMessage, contact iMessage support with the code below."
I attempted to call Apple, but they wanted me to pay for this privilege.
I tried to remove Messages via the - sign, but it was greyed out. Was thinking that deleting and reinstalling may help.
Any suggestions?

Hi Zackfcb,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend trying Wireless Diagnostics to see if that helps:

I cannot connect to FaceTime, encountered "error processing registration, please try later" message on my Macbook Air, but I don't have this problem on my IMac. Can anyone help?

I cannot connect to FaceTime, encountered "error processing registration, please try later" message on my Macbook Air, but I don't have this problem on my IMac. Can anyone help?

I have the same problem on my iMac. My facetime has been working, but now I'm getting the same error as You. I've been through the following:
The stuff that Linc Davis suggested, new profile on iMac, moved iMac into DMZ zone with no firewall rules, tested with other Apple-ID, checked hosts file, checked different timezone settings, tried to connect to 2 mobile APs (with diferent providors), changed DNS servers (ISP's DNS + Google DNS + Open DNS) - Nothing helped. Also talked to Apple Support, since i have Apple Care, but the seem to be a bit clueless also Well I've mailed them the results of my different tests, so lets see what they come up with - Unfortunately I'm sure it will be the same suggestion as all the major PC manufactures suggests, reinstall and test - RIGHT !!!!!!
If I get solution, I'll post it here.
Kind Regards
Kim

Image to text convertor app for MacBook Air

hi any one can help me regarding "image to text convertor app for MacBook Air". Actually I want to make soft text document of some my collected material which contains text information. Is any software/app is availeble to convert image to text? please help me...!!!!?

Your Air has Apple Pages built in. That should work fine. Depending what format your electronic essay system requires, you may have to export to either Word or PDF, both of which Pages can do.
Alternatively, Libreoffice (libreoffice.com) is free and has most of the features of Microsft Office. You can of course buy Office but that's the most expensive option.
