How can I message from my macbook?

How can I meesage from macbook?

Hi,
Thanks for responding.  I am new to using the Macbook, but not Apple.  I have a Apple ID that I have used on my Ipod.  I am able to Facetime becuase my Contacts were downloaded from the Cloud when logged in with my Apple ID.  However, when I click on the Messaging icon on the MacBook, none of my contacts are available to Message.  Do I need to activate something in Messaging?  On the iOS7 for the ipod or phone, I would go to Settings>Messages>Activate Messages.  I am new to the operating system.  I appreciate your input.

  • HOW CAN I AIRPLAY FROM MY MACBOOK PRO

    HOW CAN I AIRPLAY FROM MY MACBOOK PRO

    The graphics chipset in pre-2011 Macs will not support the AirPlay feature. I guess Apple could have withheld the feature for everyone, or provided free graphic upgrades for all older Macs. Neither choice makes much sense. It's a shame, but the Mac and iOS products have a lot more going for them than this one feature.
    AirParrot is said to work for some machines. I tried it on my 2008 iMac, and it left a lot to be desired

  • How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray?  I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

    How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray?  I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

    Sure can.
    With a document open in Pages, select to print so that you can see the print dialog as shown below.
    Note that to see this view, you may need to press the Show Details button in the bottom left corner. In the image above, since I have the expanded view displayed, this button changes to Hide Details
    So with the view shown, first change the Presets menu to Default Settings. Then click the Layout drop menu and select Quality & Media. Make the changes you want and then click on the Presets menu and select Save Current Settings as Preset...
    At the next window, give the Preset a name and select the Only this Printer radio button and then click OK to save it. That's it.
    As for the Preset that you already have, if you no longer want this preset then you can delete it via the Show Presets menu pane that you've used already.

  • How can I stream from my macbook to my apple tv?

    I haven't had Apple TV very long. I'm able to get my iPhone 4 to pair with my Apple TV. I haven't figured out the process to do the same on my                macbook(late2009). If this is possible I would appreciate a little help.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You will find the airplay icon in the bottom right-hand corner of your iTunes application. You can only airplay from the iTunes application at this time.

  • How can I mirror from my macbook pro

    Hi all, I have a macbook pro and would like to mirror my tv right to my apple tv but don't know how?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

  • How can i print from my macbook pro using a kodak office hero 6.1 ai0?

    I have printed out the network configuration of the printer, but I can not find the software.

    First, why?  If you're having problems, note that this is the last thing to try.  Kinda like knocking down your entire house and rebuilding it from the foundation up in order to fix a leaking kitchen sink.  Sometimes a clean reinstall is necessary, but not as often as people do it.
    If you have a good reason or just want to do it regardless, the next question is did you buy the upgrade to Lion from the App Store or did your machine come with Lion?  If the former, you should hold down option and click the Purchased icon in the App Store, then re-download it.  Use the installer to make a bootable Lion install drive (preferably, IMHO, on an 8 GB flash drive).  Then start up from that, use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive, and reinstall.
    Otherwise, hold down command-R while starting up to enter recovery mode and do the same from there.  The disadvantage is that you'll have to download everything as part of the install process.  You're going to have to re-download one way or the other, but it's nice if you can make a disk and avoid doing that again in the future, if it becomes necessary again.
    And, as sig says, any applications will need to be reinstalled from the original disks.  Make sure you have all serial numbers handy, and make sure all your personal data is backed up extremely well (in at least two different places).

  • In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?

    In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?
    When I select the Apple Symbols font from the list accessed from under Format/"Show fonts"/collection-all fonts/Apple Symbol, and then continue typing, I get normal letters, if in a slightly different font.
    How can I type using the Apple Symbol font?  I want to use that font to include keyboard and cursor selections of actual screen symbols to help write easily understood explicit computer lesson emails to my 92 year-old mom from a few hundred miles away.

  • I've downloaded iMessage but can't send a message from my macbook

    hi people, Ive downloaded the imessage facility to my macbook pro and all the messages I send between my ipad/iphone show up in the screen but I cant send a message from my macbook, the send icon doesnt appear in the text box. It allows me to type in a message, add a smiley but then nothing. Help please ,in language this old brain of mine can decipher )

    Hi,
    Some of us do have the advantage of using iChat before we moved to Messages - which is where on the Mac we learnt to send by using the Enter Key.
    Messages does add the ability to Send to iOS devices using iMessages and is almost as old as your Mac and we have all been trying to find out how it works.
    Glad to have helped and
    Thanks for the Points
