Emoticons with messages on iMac

I just started having a problem on my imac with 10.8 Mountain Lion.
When using Messages i was getting emoticons in message i received or ones i sent.
Now I am not getting them, only get the character resprecenion of them.
If I type a message and then sellect an emoticon in the text the emoticon show in the input field but when I sent the message in the message pane it show as a character ie: :-)
When someone sends me a message in the message pane it shows as a charater also. I can not find anywhere that I could have turned it off.
Anyone with any ideas.
Thanks

My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message, am I done?

My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message and a message that it could not sync, am I done?

What's the error message say, exactly? Does the error occur when you sync, or when you just connect it? Does the iPod appear in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES), or does this error occur before that can happen?
I have an old 4th Gen (color screen) iPod, which should be the same as an "iPod Photo." It's been sitting idle for a while, but I just connected it to my iMac running Mac OS X 10.7 and iTunes 10.6.1. I think it's the first time I tried since upgrading to Lion. It connected and synced fine using USB.

How do I sync iMessage on iOS with Messages on OSX Lion?

This morning, an Update for Messages on OSX was announced.
I just downloaded the Beta and it is running quite well.
There is one last question!
How do you sync iMessage on iOS with Messages on OSX Lion.
Example:
I'm texting with Jana on my Mac - but I can't see this conversation on my iPhone / iPad even tho´ the email adress is added in my "iMessages-Settings" on iPhone/iPad.
I also can't start a conversation on my iOS devices and continue them on my Mac.
Anybody out there knowing what to do?
Best regards from Germany.

Hi,
I contacted my son on his iPhone by his number.
He did not have his email linked to his Apple ID
When he did that he could message me with that ID rather then the phone number.

Problem with Messages Version 8.0

I am running Mavericks 10.9.3 and Messages doesn't allow me to video chat with someone on a Mac. Instead, it automatically defaults to their iPhone. The "invite to video chat" is grayed out and the start new chat is also grayed out. Has everything changed?

HI,
Yes, No, Maybe.
At Messages 7 in Mountain Lion the iMessages account was added as an Option in the accounts.
If you "register" for an iMessages account then when you use this to start a text conversation and then use the Video Icon it will invoke th FaceTime App and not Messages own Video abilities.
If you have an AIM valid account set up in Messages this will Video (And Audio Chat and Screen Share) to other AIM/Mac Buddies.
The same for Jabber accounts (Jabber to Jabber on a Mac with Messages or iChat).
Jabber IDs can include Google Mail IDs and Facebook Chat IDs
AIM valid IDs include emails issued by Apple (@Mac.com @me.com and @icloud.com)
These are about to change by the 30th June 2014 See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5224
This opens up several possibilities.
1) your Apple ID is issued by Apple and can be used in iMessages and as a AIM Account.
2) Your Google ID maybe your Apple ID (as in an external email) but also work as A Google account in Messages iChat.
NOTE.
As Messages can also use the Yahooo service with a Yahoo ID then this may also be your Apple ID and be your iMessages account as well as your Yahoo account ID.
Variations as to why it might not reach a Mac.
Lets presume that using iMessages and chatting to an iMessage Contact is what you are doing and you wanted to Video chat using FaceTime but expected it to go their Mac.
It may be that their version on the Mac is Off (therefore it will not "trigger" FaceTime at their end).
Possibly they use a different Apple ID on their FaceTime app compared to their iMessages account.
There then follows an whole raft of variations that their iPhone Number is not listed on their FaceTime as an Alternative contact or any email that is actually an Alias for iMessages and not FaceTime.

TS4196 Anyone else having problems with messages beta not detecting facetime hd camera?

I searched the web , but couldn't find anyone else with the problem I am having , I'm using a 2.4 GHz i5 macbook pro , downloaded the beta for messages but lost facetime camera it displays this message (This computer does not support video chats.) i just can't get it to work properly with messages.
Thanks in advance.

HI,
As I intimated Messages can either Invoke FaceTime for Video Chats with those people (Contacts) that you can iMessage.
It can also do the iChat Video.
If your Buddies only have iChat then you have to have a Screen Name if you don't already have one.
I will state this another way as well.
In Messages beta menu > Preferences > Accounts you have at least two "Accounts" once you have entered your Apple ID
One of these is the Bonjour option (Runs a Buddy list like iChat used to - see Window Menu if Logged in)
The other is the iMessage account (your Apple ID)
It is possible that your also have some iChat Accounts from before and these may be listed.
They could be AIM or Jabber Logins (And both those type are effectively sub-divided)
If you do have other Accounts and they have the tick box in "Enable this Account" then they will appear in the Window Menu as a list with Keystroke listed next to them.
These can be used to dispaly the Buddy Lists much like iChat.
By default though they care gathered in to one list (See the Preferences > General Section for Unlinking them)
@mac.com and @me.com ending names from Apple are valid AIM login names (Some people may find an MobileMe issued @me.com account does not work if it has run out).
Facebook and Google Mail IDs are valid Jabber IDs (Providing you enable the "Talk" or "Chat" option in the relevant Account Settings.
If your Buddy logs into AIM with their Valid name then you should use a AIM valid name.
If they use a Jabber valid name then you use a Jabber valid name.

Middleware problem -Outbound queue is stuck in SAP R/3 system with message

Hi Middleware gurus ,
We are stuck with a serious issue . We are trying to download Business partners from SAP R/3 4.6c system to SAP CRM 5.2 system using CRM Middleware
Previously we did a successful Initial download of 2 Business partners from SAP R/3 to CRM . Their BP numbers in CRM are 001 and 002 . The Delta load is working fine for the both the BPs which are already downloaded
Now , the real problem is when we are trying to download a new Business partner . When we set the Filter ( BP no 003 ) in MW adaptor object CUSTOMER_MAIN and start the Initial load again , we see that the Outbound queue is getting stuck with message STOP .
There are two queues generated in SAP R/3 system with names MASS_CRM_CUSTOME and R3AD_CUSTOME . The status for both the queues is STOP and when go for details it mentions sapsuck ..SAPMSSY1 -Message no. SR 053.
Even we checked the txn SMW01, the Bdocs message is "Recived ( Intermediate state) " for Bdoc type BUPA_MAIN.
We really dont as to why the Initial load worked fine with 2 BPs and later when want to do more BP Initial Load the Outbound queue is getting stuck
Also , by unlocking the 2nd queue R3AD_CUSTOME we are able to release it , but the first queue MASS_CRM_CUSTOME* is stuck
Please help us urgently

Hi Praveen and other Middleware gurus,
We checked on this . Actually the RFC is used for connecting to SAP R/3 system.
We also raised an OSS message on this and found a reply that in transaction CRMM_BUPA_MAP, we can map the required BP . But the SAP support guy recived an error received the error:
An RFC link is not maintained in the Middleware
Message no. CRM_BUPA_MAPPING051
We have set the RFC link , but still the problem continues!!!
Please help further..

When connected to my Ford Mondeo, my ipod nano can be controlled through interface. But after while it comes up with message 'loading data' and then freezes. Anyone else got the issue?

When connected to my new Ford Mondeo, my ipod nano can be controlled through user interface in car. This worksd most of the time, but after a while if I try to change the music or search, it comes up with message 'Loading Data'. I then have to pull out USB and reinseert, at which point it works again. Has anyone esle expereinced this/have a solution?

Does not matter if anyone else has this issue. You need to contact the Ford dealership. It's their product you are having problems with.
If you really want to know if anyone else has this issue, post on Ford's Mondeo message boards. It's where the Ford car owners hang out.

How to set up an existing Yamaha N12 with a new iMac

Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
I just bought a Yamaha N12 mixer Dec 2009 last month and been trying it with my MacBook Pro. It's firmware has been updated to work with the Yamaha Steinberg FW driver, and it's been communicating fine with the my MacBook Pro.
Now the problem. I just bought an iMac 27' running Mac OS X 10.6.2 last week.
How should I get the N12 to talk to my iMac? What sequence of driver installation should I go about?
Should install all the Tools for n/mLan drivers that came with the N12 installation discs still? And then carry on with installing the Yamaha Steinberg FW driver over it? Or can I straight away install the latest Yamaha Steinberg FW driver?
I'm afraid of technical problems as I might have screwed up my first iMac's firewire 800 port when I installed the Yamaha Steinberg FW driver straight away. Luckily the Mac shop was kind enough and willing to give me a one for one replacement of the iMac due to the firewire port problem. I'm not sure to what extend the firewire800 port problem might have with the FW driver installation or if it was a manufacturing defect. In anycase, its a one-time only exchange. And I now have the replacement iMac, and the firewire800 port is working fine. I'm now hesitant to install anything so that the iMac can talk to my N12 in the worry that it might affect anything if I did the wrong steps especially the firewire 800 port.
Please help if you might know of the correct steps? i just want my N12 to talk to my new iMac without any possible spoiling of my firewire 800 port due to wrong installation steps on my part.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Regards,
BG

What does Yamaha's User Manual says about driver installation? Did you follow the instructions as indicated with your 1st iMac? Are there any notes in the driver installation instructions saying that there is a risk of damaging a FireWire port when you do something in the wrong order? If so, you must follow these instruction carefully in order not to screw up the 2nd iMac, I presume.
However, from my experience, you can't really "screw up" a port by installing a driver. But you must also be aware that the driver has to be suitable for the current operating system of your iMac (that is for Snow Leopard or Mac OSX 10.6.2)

How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac?

How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac? I've changed from a Macbook to a iMac because that one stopped working and I cannot use it anymore. I've been able to import all the data of the last backup of the Macbook when setting the new iMac, but I cannot access now to the old backups of the Macbook and there are information that wasn't in the last backup and I would like to recover. Thank you very much.

How Can i connect using Thunderbolt a Macbook Pro with the New iMac

I bought the new Macbook Pro with Thunderbolt and instead of buying a new external monitor, i am thinking that the new iMac with Thunderbolt is a great idea.
Is there a cable to connect the Macbook Pro and use as iMac as external monitor, using Thunderbolt.
thanks

I understood your question perfectly and the answer is absolutely yes. When you change the iMac into target display mode you underlying operating system continues to run all existing applications. For example in my case if I finished editing some video and am about to enter a lengthy render process or something which may draw lots of resources like hand real, I set it to start on the iMac and then switch it to target display mode to use it as a monitor with my MacBook air in the meantime.
Only one small caveat in your case though. Since the target display mode is a feature of OSX (eg the OS interprets the special key stroke and changes the iMac into target display mode) you should make sure Lion server supports the target display mode feature. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't but that's the only thing currently crossing my mind. Keep in mind the compatibilities between ports as noted in my blog. If any of your machines have mini display port and you intend to connect the new iMac in target display mode you will run into issues. In that special scenario, I recommend buying a refurb iMac from 2010 which urtilize the displayport allowing you to use it as a display for all your macs -- those with thunderbolt as well as those with displayport. If you have thunderbolts then definitely go with the thunderbolt iMac.

I'd like to know how can i connect my old iMac tiger with new one iMac lion. I wanna use the old one for external disk to collect files from there to new one.

Hi mshields1162,
Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:
