Got iMessage working on 1 of my 2 computers

I have my iPhone hooked up to my iCloud account on my @me.com address, the thing is my iMessage will not let me use my @me.com address it only lets me use my @gmail address which the Apple ID Account is hooked up to. The problem is my iMac at home receives iMessages on the same (Gmail) account as my iPhone but my Laptop (@Me) at work does not it only recognises my @me.com iMessages.
What I cannot fathom is how I can switch my iPhone to receive @me.com iMessages? It probably shouldnt be this confusiong but only receiving shared messages (iMac+iPhone) between two devices and not 3 is driving me up the wall.
Does anyone else have this problem also?

make sure older versions are properly uninstalled and use task manager -> processes to shut down any non essential tasks that may conflict. hope this helps.

Why won't my iMessage work with only one contact in my phone all my other iMessages send and they just got an iphone but all their iMessages are sending also. I've tried restarting my phone, deleting messages, contact, restarting network

Hello Jesslb23,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
Best of luck,
Mario

Hi! Just got my new ihpone 4 yesterday, but i'm having issues in texting a specific contact. sending sms or iMessages works perfectly fine with all my contacts apart from 1,which is even using my same network, though i can call it and receive sms from it.

My Quad is as quiet with 10.4.5 as it was on arrival Jan 31, with 10.4.2
Altivec Fractal Carbon gives the CPU too much chance to cool down. I've got other ways to drive the CPU to sustained 100% load. Yes, the fans speed up, but it's still pretty quiet. I've run it at 100% for hours.
I like the idea of taking things gradually. If you can wait a few days before making big changes, it can make things much easier. 3-4 weeks is very conservative, but great if you have that much patience.
My Quad has been up full-time since I got it. Works perfectly.

Please help all surgestions greatlly reacived

When sending a message from Mountain Lion's Message program, you should be careful about the recipient's address. When you send a message to your dad, you should send it to his iPhone's phone number.
Also, on your Mac's Messages > Preferences > Accounts, you should be logged in under your Apple ID (which is hopefully different from your dad's).
Enjoy your Apple gear! Indeed, it does "just work".

Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

How do I get my iMessage working? It stopped after iOS 7

I need help getting my iMessage working again. It stopped after I got iOS 7. It keeps saying connection fail try again. I know it's not my network connection.

Same for many - I phoned Apple. The guy said eveyone was effectively cueing to get activated and patience is the only answer. Maybe I was fobbed off, but I seem to remember the same thing with ios6 when it appeared.

OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4: imessage works fine in safe mode, but not in "normal" mode. Any hints?

My iMessages does not work in "normal" startup, but it works perfectly in safe mode.
Any hints?
I have the same problem on a MacBook Pro 17" and on a MacAir 13" mid 2011.
On my MacMini, iMessage work's fine.
I'm using same apple ID on all 3 devices.
Before update to 10.8.4, i had no problems.
FaceTime also stopped working after update to 10.8.4.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

HT3529 will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

It will. If the two phones are used by two different people, however, you will need to implement some careful management of your iMessage settings to ensure that you don't each receive each-other's messages. It is a much safer option to use different Apple IDs for each individual.
On iOS devices, you are able to use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and Facetime, iCloud, and the iTunes and App Stores.

Please help. Got TopLink working, but now I can't run a JSP page

I am using JDeveloper 9.0.3.
I got TopLink working successfully. Meaning I can access the DB using my mapped TopLink classes from my java code in JDeveloper.
However, now I can't even run the default .jsp page.
I am getting the error:
Error instantiating application at file:/C:/LBIT/LBIT-oc4j-app.xml: Error parsing data-sources config at file:/C:/LBIT/LBIT-data-sources.xml: Fatal error at line 0 offset 0 in file:/C:/LBIT/LBIT-data-sources.xml: The encoding "windows-1252" is not supported.
If I go change the "LBIT-data-sources.xml" file to "ISO-8859-1," as soon as I run the .jsp page (from JDeveloper) the "LBIT-data-sources.xml" file gets overwritten with a new one that contains the "windows-1252" encoding line again.
What can I do to fix this???
I know someone else has run into this problem!!!
Please help. Thanks so much.
Andy

You could change the encoding by doing the following.
Stop Embedded OC4J Server (Run | Terminate | Embedded OC4J Server)
Tools | Preferences
Select Environment
Change the Encoding to ISO-xxxxx
Click OK
Run your JSP now.
Atleast this should fix encoding generated into data-sources.xml

I've just purchased a new 2014 15" MacBookPro to replace my much missed 17" MBP. I got the works: OS 10.9.4, 2.8GHz Intel i7, 16GB memory and a 1 TB SSD, but despite the expense, I still don't have a computer that works... The problem is that every

I've just purchased a new 2014 15" MacBookPro to replace my much missed 17" MBP. I got the works: OS 10.9.4, 2.8GHz Intel i7, 16GB memory and a 1 TB SSD, but despite the expense, I still don't have a computer that works...
The problem is that every time I try to open any program from Office 2011, I immediately get the following window, for example for Word: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." This happens each and every time I try to open Word or other Office 2011 component.
Thinking it might be a licensing issue, I purchased and downloaded a new copy of Office 2011 from Amazon and installed it on my new MBP. Same issue once again.
I tried to remove all copies of Office 2011 from the MBP, but the instructions provided by Microsoft required about three page and seventeen steps and the page was somehow corrupted and would not print in its entirety, nor would it e-mail as anything other than a link to the corrupted page. Not trusting my memory, I decided not to try this without adult supervision.
I used Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions, as described on an existing thread regarding the same problem, but to no avail.
I removed and later replaced the "Microsoft User Data" folder from the Documents folder, but that was no help.
I have copied the short version of the "Microsoft Error Reporting log version: 2.0," below, for those of you with a deeper knowledge of the internal workings, or non-workings of things Mac when crossed with things MS.

Surely others have encountered and solved this same problem, and I'm hoping they can help me do the same. I don't know if this is a known issue or simply a matter of my having bumbled naively through a process far more complex than I was led to believe.

Intel 82845G and xorg 1.8 - anyone got it working?

By 'working' I mean 'not crashing'. I can install xorg 1.8 just fine, but rebooting every half an hour is not my thing. The crashes happen even if I'm just typing away at the xterm.

There are some bug reports in both our and upstream bugtrackers but the issues are still open.
I'm quite happy w/ xorg 1.6 I have so it's not a life-or-death situation by any means. If you got it working, please tell me how you did it - there's a myriad of "switches" to flip and I'm too lazy / busy to try them all out. I've tried a few and got nowhere, so I'm asking you, my fellow Archers.

Same hardware here, having this issue for about two years now with linux in general, about six months ago I start using arch, to my surprise it didn't crash that much and when it did a least it took me to the console login, so no data was lost. a month ago I switch to arch completely and just for the fun of it I have four arch DE in my single computer the results are as follow:
Gnome=no crashes smooth performance even with composite enabled (the simple one build in gnome)
KDE=freezes on some heavy loaded webpages with flash media, a strange garbaged screen occurs when I am using some software in root mode like dolphin then it crash and takes me to login window. this could be kde I have no idea.
Xfce=freezes with heavy flash media once in a while. can be restarted by killing x.
LXDE=no crashes/freezes (I use it just for internet surfing)
all of the above with up to date software.
Coming from Ubuntu lucid I may said that the driver has been improved, and probably cutting the fat out of the system may improve performance. I use gnome as my main system and all I can say is that finally I can use my computer for something else other than trying to fix xorg and intel. I was really moved to buy a new one but Arch just give me some more juice out of this old machine. same intel card than described in the first post. this is definitely not my Ubuntu 8.04 which was flying in amazing compositing effects but a least is back to a tool I can work on.
All of my systems are fresh installs, all of them with the xorg 1.8 and the ..34.. kernel since the beginning, there is no xorg.conf file on any, I haven't had a crash in which I need to do a hard restart.

Just started MobileMe. Struggled with the setup of iCal but eventually got everything working fine for about a day. Then I started receiving an iCal error message stating that the URL was wrong. Of course, sync no longer works. What is correct URL?

Just signed up for MobileMe. Had a little difficulty setting up iCal but eventually got everything working. Whether posting to iCal on my Mac Book or iPhone, sync seemed to be working fine for about a day. Then suddenly when I opened iCal on my Mac Book, I would receive the following iCal error message:
"The calendar https://cal.me.com/calendar/calendar/principals/users/1.1117025442/ was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct." I know where it is located but because I did not enter the URL when I set up MobileMe/iCal, I don't know what the correct URL should be.

Mike,

I deleated numbers and pages files and apps on my iPhone and when I got to work all my files were gone from numbers and pages on my iPad. How do I get those files back on my iPad?

My storage was getting low on my iCloud, so I decided to delete my files from numbers and pages on my iPhone and delete the apps on my phone because i did not really use it on my phone. When I got to work and clicked on pages and numbers on my iPad the files were gone. I assume the files were deleted through iCloud. I did not want the files deleted on the iPad and would like to know how to get them back?

If you also backed up to your computer - you can restore from that backup - to retrieve the files. As far as I know- that should have no bearing on deleting them from iCloud - they should still be in that backup.
If you used iOS file sharing with your computer - and saved the files to your computer - you can retrieve them from there.
if the only place that the files were saved to was iCloud, I know of no way to get them back.

Newbie #2 - got AnyConnect working, can't get to work computers

This simple solution is evading me!
I successfully got AnyConnect working and I can get a VPN connection to my public static IP (69.x.x.x). I can ping devices on my home network (10.x.x.x) and surf the Internet from my home PC, but I can't ping any computer on my work network (192.x.x.x).
I added a NAT exemption rule (please see attached screenshot of the NAT exemption rule), and I entered the command management-access inside in the ASDM, but I still can't ping any work computer.
Thanks!

And also,
Just to make sure that the ICMP traffic/connections work with regards to firewall settings.
Make sure you have ICMP inspect enabled on your firewall.
My firewall is at the newest software so I'm not 100% sure if the menus/options are named in the sameway on your ASDM software.
Try to navigate the following sections
Configuration (in the top bar of the ASDM)
Firewall (in the bottom left button section)
Service Policy Rules (In the lefhand side with which is visible after choosing the previous section "Firewall)
There should be something called "inspection_default" in the main window
click to select it
above it is the "Edit" button, click it
In the opening window go to "Rule Actions"
Check the box on the "ICMP" section and then apply the configurations
There should also be a "Search" function in the ASDM. Somewhere in the top section of the ASDM window perhaps. If you type write "inspect" there (without the quotes) you should get the a search result that takes you to the to the section where you can edit the "inspect" configurations.
If you have the ASA in pretty basic configuration you could simply "drop" these configuration lines to the ASA by choosing
Tools (From the top most toolbar)
Command Line Interface
Choose Multiple Line
Copy/Paste the below configurations
Press "Send"
policy-map global_policy
class inspection_default
inspect icmp

Unable to get imessage working, comes up green instead of blue

I'm uable to get imessage working, text comes up green instead of blue. I have my setting, message, imessage turned on. What am I doing wrong?

Mine didn't work for 2 months and this fixed it, so I posted it in another discussion and have been getting "thank you" replies nearly daily:
Just update your date/time settings:
Settings
> General
>> Date & Time
>>> Set Automatically: Slide "ON"...If it's already on, then slide it off, chill for a bit (maybe restart it), then slide it back on.
I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1, but other users with 3GS, 4S, and even iTouch devices replied that it worked.
