How can I get Messages to automatically send iMessage?

My messages is setup through Apple ID, no cell number. I try to send a message, to another person that is also set up with email, but it won't send through iMessage. What do I do to send an iMessage?

You don’t need to have the iPhone connected to the Mac.

  • How can I get IChat contacts on my IMessage?

    Hi, so I just got my new mac and I was very excited to start Ichatting. However, Ichat has been replaced by Imessage. I have a few questions regarding this. Is there a way for me to unistall imessage and get Ichat instead? If not, then how can I add IChat contacts to my Imessage. My sister is at university and she has IChat and I have IMessage and it wont let me message her because it says she is not signed up for IMessage. How can I make my Imessages connect to her Ichat?

    As Niel said, if it's a first generation iPad, you cannot update it past iOS 5.1.1.
    But if Facebook still offers their old app for that old iOS, here is how to get it:

  • HT1043 My midi controller sends message thru mainsage to rewired Reason. How can I stop Mainstage from automatically sending volume control and other messages to Reason?

    I have assigned the volume control on my Yamaha midi keyboard to a screen control in Mainstage to do a different function. But it simultaneous does my assigned job as well as controlling volumes of instruments in rewired Reason. How can I stop that from happening. I don't want any of my knobs to control Reason. I use touchOSC on my iPhone as a mixer. It also send all soughts of undesirable faders and knob massages through Mainstage to reason. I must point out that, I have disengaged keyboad control in reason preferences.
    Every knob on any controller which is sending CC07 message to mainstage automatically controls instrument volume in Reason. Some other CC messages are also sent automatically. How can I stop that from happening?
    Thanks in advance.

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. 

  • HT3529 how can I get messages sent to me to stop showing up on their ipods.

    My children and I share one Itunes account.  How can I fix my settings so that when people message me on my iphone from another Iphone,  it won't show up on my kids Ipods.  I rather my kids not see what people are sending me for messages. 

    Make a new Apple ID for each of your children, and use that for iCloud, FaceTime and iMessage.
    You can keep the 'old' Apple ID on their devices for iTunes and App Stores.
    This should allow you to all share the iTunes/Apps, but keep the messages separate.  Also, you can enable iCloud backup for each device under the unique Apple ID, and set it to automatically do a backup on a regular basis.

  • How can I get iMovie to automatically save to my external hard drive?

    I am trying to use my external hard drive for iMovie because my movies were cramping up my hard drive. I already moved them and that worked fine. The only problem is that I don't know how to get iMovie to automatically save to the hard drive now. I don't want to have to keep moving the files from my movies folder to the hard drive.

    Do this on the import screen. Look toward the bottom.

  • HT1277 How  can I get my iphoto to send pictures via email?  Used to have it, don't now.

    Had the recent download for Mac OS X that led to iPhoto needing a download and now I can't get the email portion to work to send photos.  I had to change my password for the email account and have changed all the devices to the new password, even for Mail.
    Someone guide me to next steps.
    Thanks.

    Try this first...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when complete, test again.

  • How do I get Messages to sync with iMessage on my iPhone?

    I have read all of the reviews and seen all of the intro videos for Mountain Lion and where they say that Messages from my MBP (using Mountain Lion) will sync seemlessly with the iMessages on my iPhone.  I have yet to be able to figure out how to make this happen.  I send test Messages to other iPhone users (using iMessage on phone and Messages on MBP) and the recipients are saying that they are getting my message but it opens a new/different conversation each time.  On my end, I see none of the messages from my phone coming over to the computer.
    If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very appreciative!

    its supposed to be between OSX and iOS devices only, hence the iMessage name. But i am having the same problem as everybody. I send a message from my phone and it pops up on my sisters phone as the contact info she previously entered into her phone. When i send a message from my iMac, it sends it in a completely new conversation to her phone with my email address, or Apple ID, as the sender.
    What has seemed to have had some effect so far, pull out your iPhone. Go to settings> messages> recieve at... then enter your apple id at the top if it isnt already there. tap caller id and switch it to your email instead of your phone #.
    the problem with that is everyone sees your messages being sent from your email. But it did make the messages i sent from my mac appear on my phone....and the messages i recieved on my phone appear on my mac.
    Its still kinda stupid how this app functions though

  • How can I get Firefox to automatically recognize and connect a hyperlink in my messages?

    When I used Internet Explorer (previously), it automatically identified web sites and email addresses that I entered in my outgoing messages and made them "live." Does Firefox have that capability? If so, how do I activate it?

    Thank you. I do know about the button, and have used it. But Internet Explorer created the links automatically - I guess it "recognized" the configuration (perhaps the "www."?) and entered the link as soon as a space was placed after the URL. I was hoping Firefox could do the same thing, but apparently not. If anyone else has further ideas, I'd still like to hear if an automatic hyperlink creation is possible.

  • How can I get my phone to send and receive messages from android users

    Help

    You contacted your carrier, what did they say. There is no special setting on the iPhone for SMS, only MMS. You can go into Settings>Messages, make sure that MMS is turned on for media messages, but SMS has to be activated at the carrier end.,
