How do I set up iMessage from my macbook pro?

I am trying to se up imessage on my macbook pro, and I have been reading into Mobileme, but every time I go to set it up, it says my password is wrong and will not let me log in. I go to mobileme.com and it sends me to the icloud website. Am I doing something wrong? I just want to be able to send text message from my Macbook Pro... Please help.

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.

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 I get my iMessages from my macbook pro onto my iPhone 5?

I had to "restore" and then" restore from backup" my iphone due to glitch reasons. I now do not have about a month of my imessages on my iphone but they are stored on my macbook. Is there a way I can get these messages back onto my iphone?

What is the FB icon for?/ What does it do? and by on your "main display" do you mean you want it on your desktop?

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.

Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5?

Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks

Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.

How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
See Mac Basics- Time Machine. Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.
