For the past week or so my sms messages have not been coming through on my mac book and also my mac cannnot send them, I cant find anything in the settings and dont know why it suddenly started
I don't remember if there was a software update around the time this started happening. i did only used to have an AIM and gmail account linked to it, I added another Google account and that's when the Jabber thing popped up, I don't believe I ever saw it before then. other than that, it is the only issue I have had with the new software, and it very well could be operator error, i just cant seem to find anything about sms messages in the settings
Hi,
The iMessages account can do SMS (Text Messages) in Yosemite if you have an iOS 8 iPhone that have been linked.
To do this you need to Enable text Forwarding on the iPhone - which in turn triggers the Code Number to appear on the Mac version which you copy back to the iPhone dialogue box.
If it is On on the settings on the iPhone then you should be able to select the Mac that is linked.
You may find it has become Unlicked and you need to Reset. (turn the Function On again and then ask it to connect to the Mac in question and wait fro the number).
I just checked mine and it had become Unlinked again (I am not sure of the trigger for this)

That does not work on model year older then 2010 and really doesn't work on any older then late 2011 models.
You will need a set of original system dvd disc thjat are always sypplied with every mac sold before Lion came out. Systems older then late release early 2011 models.
If you don't have them you kcan order a replacement set from apple by calling them. Have the serial number of you mac handy. -
I did a backup on my Mac after I bought my iPhone 5 after using it for around two weeks. Too late I discovered that was a big mistake because after this backup with my Mac I did not have the new information I added to my iPhone from the purchase date to the back up day. In addition I have not been able to see my synchronized information in my iPhone and my two iPads calendars. Please help because my work calendar depends on having the same information in all three devices. Please help!!
iCloud only syncs your iCloud calendars. If the work calendar on you phone is an exchange calendar it won't sync with iCloud. You would have to set up your exchange calendar on your iPads too in order to view it.
If you aren't trying to sync an exchange calendar, on your phone go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and be sure you have selected a calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default. If not, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs now.
If your settings are correct and it still doesn't sync, add any missing events from your phone to your iCloud calendar on icloud.com. When your iCloud calendar is up to date, on your phone go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, after a minute or so, turn calendars back to On to sync back your iCloud calendar, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs now. -

Trying to report a problem doesnt seem to work for me, the button isnt available for some reason and i cant submit a help ticket. If anyone has had experience in this matter please help me!

my mac book pro would connect automatically to my wireless network in ny. then I went to vermont with my computer and connected to my wireless network there. when I got back to ny I changed it back to my wireless connection here but it wont stay connected. each time i go on mail it asks me to join a network. it hink i did all the right steps but it wont stay joined.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

After downloading IOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5, my email messages are not coming through automatically. Before, my email messages would come through automatically and my iPhone would alert me each time an emial message was recevied. I now have to open my mail in-box and wait for my email messages to download. Do I need to reset or change my mail settings? This issue is delaying my abiliy to receive and respond to email messages in a timely manner.
Please Help.
JesseHi Chris. Thanks, for the suggestions re: my email issues. They were helpful and yes I did check all items you referenced. I even contacted Apple support and spent about 40 minutes on phone checking all settings. However, after all these efforts, my mail and calendar issues were not resolved. Apple Support finally recommended deleting the mail account and then reloading it - and it worked! I am now receiving my emails and calendar appts. in real time again.
Just wanted to share this in case anyone elest has a similar problem with mail/calendar after downloaing i.O.S. 8.1 onto iPhone 5.
Thanks, again.

private Button ip, port, nickname;
public Messenger() {
super();
setLayout(null);
//set layout font
setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.PLAIN, 14));
//set application icon
Image icon = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("data/dh002.uM");
setIconImage((icon));
//add components
words = new TextField(30);

}Im only new to Java, maybe I've left something out ? Any help will be much appreciated, thanks :)Thanks! Got the image to display now... but, next problem.. its a strange one, whenever the application is minimized or has something dragged/popup over the top of it, those sections of text/images disappear... anyone know a reason for this? im using the d.drawImage() like displayed in my code above.. this is the final code for my image..
Image banner = null;
try {
banner = ImageIO.read(new File("data/dh003.uM"));
} catch(IOException e) { }
g.drawImage(banner,0 + insets.left, 0 + insets.top, this);and as for my text...
g.setFont(new Font("Arial",1,14));
g.drawString("Type your message below:", 5 + insets.left, 425 + insets.top);Thanks in advance! -

Since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 a few days ago, Safari will suddenly zoom in on web pages (happens on multiple sites) when I scroll or move the mouse -- any one know why and what to do about it? Thanks!
It really isn't a well thought out 'gesture' when a normal scroll action can result in an unwanted zoom but disabling SmartZoom wasn't an option for me—one of those with eyes that tire easily when reading very small text on a 27" display.
For a while I used command-+ and command-'-' to read small text but that isn't supported in some apps and for Safari it often leaves the browser in an less than perfect state when moving to the next page. I also tried option scroll to zoom the whole display but that was not desirable, either.
I finally settled on leaving SmartZoom enabled and remembering to double tap with one finger whenever the undesired zoom happens. It happens so often that the double tap is almost a reflex action for me.
