How can I text from my iMac

Is there a way to send text messages from my iMac, using my iPhone number?

There is a way to send messages over your iMessage account, not SMS.  Download "Messages" from the Mac App Store or you can get it free with Mountain Lion/10.8.  Macs sync with your iPhone and automatically send/receive SMS messages using the iPhone as a transmitter/receiver and then Wi-Fi will deliver it to your iMac.

    You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

  • HT3529 How can I text from an iPod Touch.

    How does someone text me to my iPod Touch?

    There are specific apps that you can get to text from your iPod Touch. You MUST have wifi to use the app though. If you don't have any connection to a wifi source, you will not be able to send. (Most testing apps are free)

  • How can I print from my IMAC with Mavericks OS to the Canon MP560 printer's rear tray?

    I have just moved from a Windows platform to Imac.  On Windows, in Word, I was able to select where the paper was feeding (automatically select, rear tray, etc.) but now I can't select rear tray.  I've already tried the "Quality & Media" under presets but was not given an option to change where the paper comes from.  Can anybody help?

  • How can increase text/font size iMac late 2012

    I am a new iMac user so forgive my ignorance!  I cannot get the font size on my 21 inch iMAC to increase and am having a hard time reading the screen?  Can anyone tell me the way to do this please?

    But why no font adjustment I wonder?
    Actually, there is.... sort of:  Open a Finder window...Click on the gear button upside down triangle>Show View Options:  This window has settings for icon sizes and font sizes.  The largest font size is 16.  Hint: The larger the icon the larger the fonts.  When done, click the Use as Defaults button.
    Another hint:  System Preferences>General-Turn off text smoothing for font sizes___and smaller.  The number 12 works great for me. 
    My personal setup:  Display=1600x900, Finder (windows) icon size=112x112, text size=16

    You already have that app, called Messages. If you know someone who has an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad running iOS 5 you can use that to iMessage with them.
    Search the app store and there are apps like Text Free, etc. that will let you use SMS in a way.

  • How can I text photos from iPhone 6 to another smartphone

    How can I text pictures from my iPhone 6 to another kind of smartphone (Android, etc).? I can text photos through iMessage to other iPhone users with no problem. In Settings, my iMessage, Send as SMS and MMS Messaging are all set to `On.'
    Conversely, I don't seem to be able to receive photo texts from another person's non-Apple phone, although I'm told she can send to other iPhones with no problem.

    Do you have cellular data turned on? Do you have MMS enabled on your account through your carrier?

    Hi mshields1162,
    Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
    We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
    Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:
    iTunes 10: Sync to your iPod

    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How can i upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

    How can I upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

    With the above listed config that I have (iphoto 7.1.5 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8), how can I move my iPhoto library from this old iMac (2006) to my NEW iMac (2011) that is running iPhoto 9.5.1 ?
    To open an iPhoto 7.1.x version in iPhoto '11 you need to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader. See this Support document:
    iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrade
    Download and install the upgrader,  then run it on your iPhoto 7.1.5 library. After that, iPhoto will be able to open your library and upgrade it to version 9.5.1. And you will be able to merge the libraries with if Library Manager.

    Hello, for a multilingual catalog project I would have to know how and with what tool I can place text from Excel or a database in text frames / tables. The basic idea is to provide the text box with an ID (eg << text_eng_art_nr_987654>>) and above to make the connection. Does anyone have a tip. Thanks in advance !!!

    Data merge is really useful in many circumstances, but my first question would be about the size of the project. A really large catalog might be better handled by processing an IDML in some kind of translation memory tool.
    If all of your multilingual content is already in Excel, then it's probably best handled with a Data Merge. Note that you can't save Unicode CSV out of Excel for the merge, so for many languages you'll need to save "Unicode Text" out of Excel and tweak your import settings when you select a Data Source for encoding (Unicode) and delimiter (tab instead of comma).

  • How can I text someone from my iPhone and iPad if there phone is not an apple product?

    How can I
    someone from my iPhone and iPad if there phone is not an apple product?

    The iMessage app on an iPhone can send SMS messages when an iMessage path is not available; on an iPad it cannot, because SMS is an adjunct to the voice telephone system, which the iPad does not use.
