How do i get the messages app to show up on my mac?

I want to use my imessage on my mac but the app to do it isnt on it I looked on the launchpad and searched computer for messages( the imessage app) and got nothing... HELP ME

Since you have the Launchpad but not Messages, you're running 10.7. Open the Mac App Store and download it; if it's incompatible with your computer, you'll be told so, and Mountain Lion won't be compatible either.

How can i get the map app to show Spanish street and avenue names in that language ... not in English

i have ipad 4th gen and ipad original ... using both in Bogota Colombia thru the Colombian Apple Store. I have the map app in spanish on the ipad original but cannot change the ipad 4 map app to show the streets (calles), avenues (carreras / avenidas) in spanish ... such as Calle 100 .. or Avenida Suba, etc.
i have changed "always english" to off, changed the overall language to Spanish, rebooted, etc, etc ... but to no avail.
Please assist
Thank you

@Peizoandme ... that i have done and that results in changing the tag info language ... direction -> direccion but the map itself does not change ... shows the street name as Street 100 rather than Calle 100 ... what this all causes is when trying to establish routes from home to pin drop for example, message is cannot find. So, still stumped. Thanks for the reply though.

Is the MacBook the computer you have synced with in the past? If not you can use the computer that you have synced with to restore your apps. Are you sure you are using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Apps?

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

I have an iMac OS 10.9.5 - Every time I turn on my system I get the message that it can not access icloud and to fix it using iCloud preferences. I do not want to access or use iCloud, how do I get the message to discontinue?

Hello mrmacjohn,
Verifying that any iCloud account that may be signed in is signed out should resolve this error.
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!! How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??

We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone. If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!! And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!!

Topic area: Apple Mail. Question: How do I get the message preview window to display to the right of my list of email messages? i.e. to preview whatever message is currently highlighted in the center window list of messages?

At present there is no preference option available to move the preview
pane to right side of the mail window.
Best.

Either sync it from your iTunes library or redownload it directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
