How do I get imessages on my macbook?

I have recently found out about imessage for my macbook and have downloaded it from the apple website. However, I cannot use it because I do not have version 10.7? I have looked under "About this Mac" and apparently I have version 10.6.8. Is there no version of imessages that is compatible with my existing version? And if I have to have version 10.7 does that mean I have to purchase Mac OS X Lion?
Thanks!

Yes you have to purchase 10.7 Lion to get the iMessages beta. IMessages will be part of 10.8 Mountain Lion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMessage

    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.

    Can some one help me get imessage onto my macbook?

    If it's running Mac OS X 10.7.5 or earlier, upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.9 if possible.
    If it's running Mac OS X 10.8 or 10.9, reinstall the OS.

    Your Mac must be running v10.8 Mountain Lion or later to use Messages.
    Which OS X is installed? Click the Apple  top left in your screen.
    From the drop down menu click: About this Mac. Which version does it say?

    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.

    Your not weird, your a audiophile.

    Good sound costs money. And with a 5.1 system your usually doing surround sound decoding for BlueRay movies etc. for home theater purposes.
    The PC 5.1 surround sound systems require a audio card in a PC tower and mainly used for playing 3D games so that won't work for any Mac at all. So don't buy a PC 5.1 surround sound system for your Mac.
    Harmon Kardon has the GoPlay, it's a portable stereo with awesome sound (not as good as their theater systems) and you can hook up a analog male/male stereo mini cable to it from the Mac.
    $200 and it has a iPod dock and also takes like 8 batteries so it's portable.

    There is also the Bose Wave clock/radio, you will need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable for that.

    The GoPlay has much better sound than the Bose, I think the Bose are overpriced.

  • I turned my iMessages off and now it won't turn back on and asks for mobile data or wifi to be on but my mobile data works fine! How do I get iMessages to turn on again?

    I Turned my iMessages off and now it won't turn on again without saying that wifi or mobile data must be turned on, however my mobile data works fine. How do I get iMessages to turn on again?

    I had a similar issue with my phone.....it just shut off and wouldn't come back on even thought it was charged.  My daughter toggled the mute switch several times and then she pressed and held down the home and lock buttons.  It worked......would be worth a shot.

  • How do i get iDVD on my macbook pro?

    How do i get iDVD on my macbook pro?  I cant find iDVD in the search box or in finer.  Why would the macbook install imovie without installing iDVD too?  I need to burn my video off of iMovie so i need iDVD to do that for me.  Ive tried downloading iDVD for free on websites but it didnt work, it's not compatible. I searched th eapp store whish is on the macbook but all it has is ilife'11 which only has iPhoto, iMovie, and Garageband but no iDVD.  I don't know what else to do.  I cant find IDVD anywhere.

    howdy,
    You have to buy the whole package from apple.com.
    Notice iWeb also missing.
    Rumor that individual "titles" will be available but no more revs. Product about to go to ga ga (Lady GaGa?) land not to return
    N.B. iDVD and iWeb not revised in latest offering.
    Let 'er rip and...
    cheers

  • How do I get apps from my MacBook pro to my ipad

    How do I get apps from my MacBook pro to my ipad

    If they apps were bought on iTunes on your Mac then you can connect the iPad to your Mac, select the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and use the Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to sync them to the iPad - or you can re-download them directly on the iPad via the App Store app.
    If you bought the apps in the Mac App Store then you can't sync them to the iPad as Mac apps are not compatible with the iPad

  • How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro?

    How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro? It is 15 inch Retina display, and it is Version 10.9.1 . I download the game, log in and press play, but as soon as it finishes loading, the blue bar goes away and nothing else happens!
    It goes from this:
    To this:
    And on the development console it says this:

    Hello EpicEmma,
    I just had this problem today!, but i have a SOLUTION ,
    right click the finder icon and click "go to folder"
    type : "~Library/ Application Support
    Find the minecraft folder, Backup your Saves, (drag the saves folder onto the desktop) *OPTIONAL*
    delete the minecraft folder, not the application.
    Open the minecraft Launcher (it will take a while to start up)
    Put in login info and when its loaded up, press "play"
    The blue bar will take a minute or two...
    And then... it should start normally
    U dont need to repeat the steps every time u open Minecraft. You can later replace the saves folder with the new one back to where it was whenever you want at the same place where it used to be before. Hope this helped!

    How do i get messages on my macbook pro. It doesnt come up on the app store

    I must not have been clear. I didn't originally connect it with a USB. I only did that to check to see if it would print at all. It did. I originally set it up as a wireless printer. And my laptop won't connect to it to print.
