    how do I download iMessage to my macbook pro?

    mr. lanny i went into the app store on my mac book pro, and typed in messages but that never came up
    And it won't come up, becuase it's an app that comes with Mountain Lion and Mavericks. It's not something you purchase separately.
    Mountain Lion is OS X version 10.8
    Mavericks is OS X version 10.9

    I am trying to get iMessage on my macbook pro and i could not get it. Can anyone help

    Are you running Mac OS X Mountain lion? Ie 10.8.x? You need this as it's not supported on earlier versions of OS X.
    If so you should fined it in your applications folder under 'messages' - simply login to your Apple ID and it should set itself up under your account and sync with your iPhone/iPad.

  • How do I disable iMessage on my MacBook pro?

    I have purchased a MacBook Pro for Christmas and whilst viewing different applications I couldn't close the message application unless I typed in my Apple id password. Now, I am recieving iMessages at not only my iPhone and iPod but my mac too. How can i disable this on my mac??? 

    I just figured this out, yay! You need to be on your laptop to do this. Open the iMessage app, then look up at the top left of the screen on your laptop and it should be the apple icon, "messages", File, Edit, View, History, etc. Click on "Messages", then click on "Preferences", then click on the accounts in the box on the left - because a pop-up will open after you click on "Preferences". I was unable to remove the accounts, but I was able to uncheck all the boxes and disable the accounts. Voila! Mission accomplished.

    Hey guys, I have a macbook pro but it does not have imessage and i really would like to use it. How can i download it onto my mac?

  • How do I update iMessage on my macbook pro?

    So I've had my iMessage turned off for a while because I was just getting it serviced and didn't want to risk whomever was looking at my macbook getting bombarded with random messages here and there, and I just turned it on. It's all fine and dandy and we're all singing with the bluebirds and everything, except the history of my messages since I turned it off isn't showing up.
    Is there a way to get the new messages that I've only received on my phone to update on my iMessage ap on my laptop? So my iMessage on my laptop will show every single iMessage I've received even on my phone?

    Hi,
    The answer is No.
    I will qualify that a bit further.
    iMessages are pushed from the server for a limited period to all the registered/linked devices.
    I used my iPhone in a hotel when I went away for a weekend to watch the British Superbikes.
    The hotel had WiFi so I sent iMessages to my wife.
    That was the Friday evening.
    These particular iMessages did sync to my Mac once I turned it On on Sunday evening.
    I would surmise that a Friday to Monday catch up between iPhones and work computers is a possible but I have not seen anyone one post that.
    The sync is only "display on all Devices" and is not like a email Server that sends it to any device that logs in  that has not read that set of email(s).

  • How do I download iMessage onto my MacBook Pro?

    I deleted iMessage thinking it would solve a problem I was having if I could reinstall it and start from scratch. Now I can't find where to download the Beta version of iMessage. All I'm finding is that I need to uprgrade (and pay for) my OS.
    Please help!!!!

    HI,
    The Messages Beta came with an Uninstall option in the  Messages Menu itself which reinstalled iChat 6 as part of the Process.
    As Lion (OS X 10.7.x) does not come with Install Disks it is impossible to Install one app as you could before.
    Use Lion Recovery.

    HI Ralph,
    I'm having a hard time finding solution for iMessage.
    I can't send to one specific contact - we both use 4s iOS 6.1.3 and so is he.
    We cant send to each other. We tried to on/off sign in And sign out Apple ID on both phone and still doesn't work
    We even reset and erase content on his iPhone.
    We use different Apple ID.
    Looking forward to your reply, thanks in advance!
    I have added some punctuation and spread out the text to see if I have understood what you were saying.
    The Original Post  was about iMessages from the Mac Messages app.
    Now we are talking about  two people with  an iPhone each.
    You seem to be centered on something being amiss with his set up as you have Reset and Erased his iPhone  (no info on any restore from any backup).
    Can he/could he contact with anyone else before you reset his iPhone ?
    Can he contact anyone else now ?
    If this person cannot contacts anyone from his iPhone it would seem he has not set up the iPhone correctly.
    This may be a simple thing such as not having a Data Contract and therefore having Data Off and not be connected to a Wifi Network either.
    It may be more involved such as there being an issue with his Apple ID.
    If he removes the Apple ID  can he Send from the iPhone Number ?

    How do you iMessage from the MacBook Pro?

    Lord Of The Weirdos wrote:
    And if you don't use that computer often be prepared for the mountains of new notifications the next time you run it.  Especially if your like me and use your iPhone and iPad a lot for texting people.  Wish iMessage in ML would know what you read somewhere else like iPad and iPhone does
    I don't quite understand what you are saying? If i recieve and read an iMessage on the iPhone and then switch on my Mac, I don't get a notification about a new message, but that iMessage appears on the conversation.
