    I want the same iMessage from my phone on my computer (with the contacts and convos).
    how can I that?

    Hello Rachel_Bouzo
    The main thing is to update your Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and you will have an option to use the app Messages. Just add the account there and yo are good to go.

  • How do I get iMessage on my Mac and iPad Mini to send from my phone number instead of email?

    How do I get iMessage on my Mac and iPad Mini to send from my phone number instead of email? I've signed out and signed backed in on all devices but it still doesn't work. Phone number shows up on my iPhone only. Apple support article does not help, the screen don't even match mine.

    Hi believer924,
    Happy Holidays!  What version of Mac OS are you working with?  The article below will explain how to confirm your phone number is linked to your Apple ID for iMessage.  On your Mac, you should be able to remove the checkmark in front of your email address in the "You can be reached by iMessage at" and "Start New Conversations from" sections of iMessage settings.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201349
    Your iPhone telephone number is linked to your Apple ID when you sign in to FaceTime or iMessage. This allows you to use your iPhone number with FaceTime and iMessage on other iOS devices.
    This feature isn't available on iPod touch (3rd generation) and iPad (1st generation).
    This feature is available with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later.
    On OS X, find out which addresses are enabled:
    In Messages, choose Messages > Preferences > Accounts. Select iMessage in the left column. Your contact preferences should appear under "You can be reached for messages at:."
    OS X:
    Phone number missing on OS X
    If your phone number isn't listed on your Mac, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of OS X on your Mac.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    Sign out of your Apple ID at these locations on your Mac:
    Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
    FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
    Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
    Open FaceTime and Messages, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.
    If your phone number still isn't listed on your Mac, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign out of your Apple ID on your Mac at the following locations:
    Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
    FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
    Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and also in Settings > FaceTime.
    Open FaceTime and iMessage, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.

  • How do i get imessage on my mac book pro

    how do i get imessage on my mac book pro

    Open Messages. It will prompt you to enter your Apple ID. That's for iMessage. Any messages send via a iPhone's or Mac's Messages app (not the Mail app) to that Apple ID will be iMessages. If you have an iPhone you can also add that Apple ID to your phone so any iMessages send via your phone number will also be in your MacBook Pro.

  • How can I get music from old mac to new mac?

    How can I get music from old mac to new mac please?
    Can't seem to make Migration Assistant work. Doesn't ask about or transfer files.

    I just migrated into a new MBP from an old one.
    It did not bring the music over.  Apple's instructions are to use the Home Sharing feature of iTunes.
    Open iTunes on your old Mac.  Select Home Sharing under the Advanced menu.  Sign in.  Do the same on your new computer.  Then when the library appears under Home Sharing on the left-hand panel on your new computer's iTunes, you can select all and Add To Library.
    That's what Apple says, anyway.

    Hi,
    Messages beta will only install on Lion.
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/mountain-lion/messages-beta/  There is a download button on this page.
    The app needs to be Downloaded, Installed and then the computer Restarted
    The last is quite important.

    how can i get software off my laptop that was put on by accident

    Either use the uninstaller provided by the developer or, if there is no uninstaller, simply trash the software - be aware that some auxiliary files may remain, depending on the software.
    What type of software is this anyway?
