HI,

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 to migrate PowerBook G4 Tiger to new MacBook Pro 15" Lion via ethernet cable? Migration Assistant to old to update, apparently.

How to migrate PowerBook G4 Tiger to new MacBook Pro 15" Lion via ethernet cable? Migration Assistant to old to update, apparently.

Ah, a Powerbook. I miss that. Anyways, I believe that the Powerbook G4 has an Firewire 400/800 port. Why don't you do that? It's fast, and you don't have to set up one of those funky reverse wire ethernet cables. I wouldn't use Migration Assistant, but that's just me. Too many issues. I'd start up your brand new MacBook Pro and during the setup assistant, it'll ask you to transfer data from an older Mac. Using firewire with a Target Disk Mode, it's pretty fast.
If you have already opened up your new Mac and are using it, then use Migration assistant, but also with the Firewire (preferably 800).

How do I set up starry night with MacBook pro on the USB port with a serial/USB adapter?

How do I set up a MacBook Pro running Lion to interface with Starry Night software? My telescope is a Meade LX200GPS with a serial input. I have tried using a Radio Shack USB/Serial adapter which worked when I used a Windows 7 laptop but does not work with my MacBook Pro.

Just started to research this on both this site and on Starry Night .I was hoping to find a driver for the Radio Shack USB Serial Adapter from Apple's site. Radio Shack only has the Windows driver that came with the adapter. Will let you know when I find the right driver. Stay tuned.

How do I set permissions between iMac and Macbook Pro using apple extreme base station hooked up to comcast modem

I am trying to share files on my iMac with my wife's macbook Pro for which I am set up as a second user with administration privileges. I think i have the computers finding each other (for example my iMac shows up on the shared list in my wifes's finder window), but when I try to open a file it says I do not have permission(s). Is there a manual I can look at that walks me through this step by step.
I know I have to mark files on my iMac to allow for sharing. How do I designate a particular user as having permission to share. I only want to be able to share my iMac when I am logged in on my user account on the Macbook Pro (and vise versa, I would like to be able to access the files on the Macbook Pro, when I am logged in as the user on my iMac.
Thank you for your assistance and precious time.

Through a browser.
I am supposed to have it set so that it is placed at:
http://c5414.airsight.net but nothing gets there.
Some places have mention that I need to set up port forwarding,
others have mentioned DDNS or UPNP,
How do I do these or is there a better way to send http://10.0.11.1/main.html
to http://c5414.airsight.net?

How do I set Exchange Webmail in my MacBook pro?

How do I set an email in exchange webmail? I have an iPad and iphone and was able to do so easily but not so for the MacBook pro. There is no place to put the domain nor do I know some of the required data like internal or external server.

What version of Exchange is your organization using. Mail support Exchange 2007 and later, if they are on an earlier version you are out of luck until they upgrade. If it is on 2007 or later I found this under Mail's help menu:
Syncing IMAP and Exchange 2007 accounts
With Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) and Exchange 2007 mail accounts, mailboxes and messages are stored on the server so you can access them from multiple locations or computers. Mail syncs the mailboxes on your computer with those on the server, ensuring that mailboxes on your computer reflect actions taken while viewing mail on the server, such as marking messages as read, deleting messages, or moving messages between mailboxes.
Before using your account offline, manually sync the account with your computer so you know you’re working offline with up-to-date messages.
To manually sync an account with your computer:
Choose Mailbox > Synchronize [account name] or, if you have more than one account, Mailbox > Synchronize All Accounts.
Mail copies all messages to your computer. Depending on how many messages you have, and the speed of your connection, this may take several minutes. To monitor the syncing progress, choose Window > Activity.
To be more specific about which messages and attachments you want to keep on your computer, select the account in the Accounts pane of Mail preferences, click Advanced, and then choose an option from the “Keep copies of messages for offline viewing” pop-up menu. Keeping copies of messages and attachments on your computer ensures they are included in Time Machine backups and improves junk mail filtering.
When you go offline, you’re disconnected from the mail server. Any changes you make to messages are also made to the copies of the messages on your computer. When you go back online, the changes are copied to the server.

HT3275 How do I set up my iMac and Macbook Pro to both backup to my single Time Capsule?

I previously backed up my Macbook Pro to my Time Capsule. I am now trying to use the same TC to backup an iMac. However, I get an error saying the "MBP sparsebundle is already in use". I think that is 'cos my iMac is backing up, but I need to know how to resolve this ASAP.

They use separate sparsebundles so the issue is something else.. often with lion there are issues with a device keeping the TC open.. you log into the disk area of the airport utility manual setup, and use disconnect all users.. the backup should then work.

It sounds like you are running an older version of OS X (probably SnowLeopard). What version of OS X are you running?
Mavericks is the newest version (10.9), and is a free upgrade.

Lost/stolen iPod - Can you track serial number to current owner/thief?

Recently I have either lost or had my iPod stolen while traveling across country. I had a brand new 30GB - Black iPod that disappeared from Point A to Point B. I took a red-eye, so either could have easily happened given the delays, weather conditions and tight connections experienced on this particular trip.
Is there a way to search for the Serial Number via the internet for recent downloads from iTunes, etc...?
I have replaced my 30GB with an 80GB and Nano, but would love to have it back to give to my wife or son.
Any suggestions on how to recoop or track down?
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I used to work at an Apple Store and we were asked about this a lot. The other responses are correct, there is no way to track an ipod by Serial Number. The SN isn't recorded when you download items from the itunes store, that goes by your user account.
Now, if the person who has your ipod sets up an itunes user account (and doesn't lie about their information - don't forget you can go to the store and buy an itunes giftcard and it won't require a credit card to make a purchase) and also registers the ipod under their name (and doesn't lie about their information) there MIGHT be a way for Apple to track it down. But, honestly, that involves a lot of work and the assumption that the new user hasn't faked any of their personal information. Do you think they're going to do that for you? Probably not.
Sorry about your loss but all the SN is good for on an ipod is tracking warranty and repair information.

I've reinstalled my MacBook Pro (OSX Lion) using a different apple ID, and now I can't install any iLife apps. In the app store it comes up with "Accept" and then tells me It can't accept from my user ID. How can I fix this or get iLife back?

Mostly explained in the title. My dad gave me his MacBook, and I went ahead and wiped all of his stuff by using the recovery partition to wipe/reinstall OSX Lion. In the setup I used a new apple ID and now I can't get iLife apps. I'm relatively new to how apple works its purchases, so I'm not sure what's up. Is it that my computer has a unique ID set to the first apple ID used on it, and if so, how can I get this reset to my ID? I'm planning to get an iPhone 5 soon so I'd like to be able to use photo stream with iPhoto and try out Guitar Band.
Any help is much appreciated.

PS: I couldn't find a correct catagory, so I hope this is close enough. If not please tell me where I should be posting this.

How do I run virtual machine on my MacBook Pro running Lion?

I am trying to run virtual machine 7 on my Mac so that I can use windows 7 for some school projects. Whenever I try to run it I ger error messages saying this is not supported. Are there any patches?

Whenever I try to run it I ger error messages saying this is not supported.
When you try to run what? The Windows program?
There are several virtualization options available... Parallels, VMware's Fusion, and VirtualBox. Each of these will require that you have a copy of Windows to install. VirtualBox is free and fully functional. It's not as polished as the other for-pay options, but it's the only one I use. Any one of these utilites creates an environment in which you can install Windows within OS X.

How do I install/upgrade iWork 2005 on my new MacBook Pro / Mountain Lion?

I just bought a new MacBook Pro (converted back from Windows) and installed an old version of iWork (2005) I purchased years ago, hoping to upgrade it. It didn't install properly as it only shows a folder in Finder/Apps, with a couple of docs in the folder and doesn't show up as an app for Upgrade. The guy that upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion at the Apple Store told me this should work.
1) How do I install iWork 2005 on my MacBook Pro / Mountain Lion?
2) How do I upgrade it without having to purchase a new copy?
Thanks!

You cannot link any version of iWork installed from a retail disk or trial to the Mac App Store.
You install iWork '05 on your new Mac just as you always have, making sure you have the serial number to enter. But the iWork apps are very reasonably priced on the Mac App Store & have come a very long way in 7 years. And now Numbers is available for spreadsheets.
