Is there a way to reset my messages account, I can't get iMessage to work on IPad nor Mac osx. Help please this is really frustrating.
Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?
In Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) this did not seem to be important but it seems it is in Mavericks/Messages 8

On My Wife's iPad 4, when she enters a note it is automatically copied to her Gmail email account. I can't get the settings right to do the same thing on my new iPad Air.
Any suggestions?Go into Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calenders then you need to click on your email and make sure you have the thing next to the word notes switch on.
Then they should sync over the iCloud
Hope this helps! -

My iphone 4s will not allow me to open applcations that I have downloaded. I have tried a few things but still will not allow me to open. Shows they are open once pushing the home button twice. Please help!
Pressing the Home button twice does not show you what apps are running. It shows you what apps were recently used.
Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again. -
I'm can't get iMessage to work with all my Apple devices.
So i cant seem to get iMessage to work across all my Apple devices. My wife and I use the same Apple ID but have different phone numbers. Is there a way to get all our messages on our shared devices and our personal messages on our phones? (iPad, iMac, MacBook Pro: Shared)
Hi,
I have this set up with one Mac and two iPhones (Not Multiple Macs)
I added the Apple ID to the Mac for iMessages.
I then added the Apple ID to the first iPhone.
I accepted the pop ups on the Mac so that the iPhone was Listed in Receive At (you might have to Restart the App on the Mac to trigger this).
I then added the Apple ID to the Second iPhone and again accepted the pop ups in the Mac.
IF this is what you think you did but it is not working remove the Apple ID from both iPhones
Place the iPhones in Airplane mode fro a few minutes to Break with the server.
when back in normal mode and in Settings > Messages check the iPhone number is ticked and active.
(Send a Test message to the Apple ID (Mac) to check)
Add back the Apple ID if the test works.
Restart the Mac version to trigger the pop ups and Accept.
Repeat the set up with tests for send iPhone.
I have never set this up with one ID on two or more computers but it should work.

Re: I accidently turned off my imessages and now they keep messing up and wont send imessages -
I have recently bought a new laptop with windows 7 and when i have tried to install and open itunes i keep getting the message 'itunes has stopped working' itunes then shuts down before i can do anything to fix it. This happens every time I try to open itunes. I have tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it, starting itunes in safe mode. Nothing seems to work. Please can anyone help.
If and when I finally manage to open it, as soon as I click on a movie to watch, the message "itunes has stopped working" comes up.
Try the following user tip with that one:

Help! Can't get iChat to work.
I've created two iChat accounts so I could help my nice with any issues with her mac, but we can't connect to eachother. Our statuses are set to available but they don't show as available when we log in.
I can't figure out why it's not working. I didn't block anyone on either end.Hi,
Your specs say OS X 10.6.8 which means iChat 5 on Snow Leopard.
You mention she has a new Macbook which suggests Lion (OS X 10.7.x) and iChat 6
These should be compatible.
Are you both using the same type of Buddy List ?
You says you have not Blocked anyone implying that this is an AIM Name at your end and that you have iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Security tab set to Allow All
Has she also registered some form of AIM valid Screen Name ?
AIM name (Any name registered with an AOL company stripped of the @server.com bits) like my main screen name of ralphjohnsr that came from Netscape)
An AIM name that contains either @aim.com and @AOL.com as part of the ID
Apple IDs ending in @mac.com or @me.com (with passwords of 16 characters or Less)
Any Email registered with AIM (such as using a Hotmail ID as the AIM screen name).
There are ways to get cross service Buddies in the same list but that is not for now.
Make sure you both have the same type of Buddy List (where you login in to.)
This will be either AIM or Jabber as you do not have iChat 6 according to your specs.

Can't get my Imessage to work on my imac . I put my iphone # in and it said verifyiing then said email sent,but i never received an email now it says waiting to verify but by who.
Download the demo and activate with your serial number:

Be sure to follow the special instructions.
You will also probably need to run the un-installer first to clean up the old files. -
Help! Can't get network to work
I have Solaris 10 installed and running smoothly.. except I can NOT get my NIC card working. I swear it's harder to configure networking on Solaris than anything i've ever delt with. I have a 3COM 3C450 PCI NIC card, how do I know if Solaris has the drivers for this card installed, how do I install them, and how do I configure my IP address? I'm definetly not a Unix newbe, I've worked with Irix and AIX for many years, but this is extremely frustrating.
ThanksHello
First step:
Check if the driver is running correctly. Type in "<b>/usr/sbin/prtconf</b>" or "<b>/usr/sbin/prtconf -v</b>".
This command prints information about all devices in the system and if the device is recognized by a driver or not (a message "Driver not attached" is shown if not). The "-v" variant shows more detailed information (you will get a huge number of lines).
Second step:
Find out the name of the network card (example: /dev/hme0). Unlike Linux the ethernet cards do not all have the name /dev/eth* but different types of cards have different names (/dev/le*, /dev/ce*, /dev/hme*, ...).
Third step:
Test the card once:
Type
<b>ifconfig <i>name</i> plumb</b>
<i>name</i> is the name of the network card without "/dev/"; example:
<b>ifconfig hme0 plumb</b>
The card is recognized as network card by the system. Then type:
<b>ifconfig <i>name</i> <i>IP_address</i> up</b>
Example:
<b>ifconfig hme0 12.34.56.78 up</b>
The card is assigned an IP address and started.
Fourth step:
Installing the card in the configuration files:
Add an IP address - host name pair for your computer in the /etc/hosts file.
Then type
<b>echo <i>my_host_name</i> > /etc/hostname.<i>cardname</i></b>
Example:
<b>echo mycomputer > /etc/hostname.hme0</b>
Then reboot the computer.
Using DHCP is a bit more complex.
