How to change avatar in iMessage beta?

Anyone know how to change the avatar in iMessage beta that just came out. Not sure how I eneded up with my wife's avatar but I am now not able to change it. I have tried both of my @me accounts and nada! This is not on any iOS device but strictly on the new iMessage beta for the Mac. My personal info in contacts is correct and so is my wife's. Although we share one of the @me accounts for iCloud, it's only to sync up some stuff. Her profile in contacts does not include this @me address. Using iMessage on any iOS device shows the correct avatar.

Hi,
At the top of any Buddy List (I run mine separately) you have your own Buddy Pic
If you click this you can call up old ones (max 16), the default for the type of Account (one of the 16 and normally lower right) or access the Change/Edit options.
My Address Book iCloud list shows the My Card as my details and also shows the same pic (they can be different)
Another place to look/change is System Preferences > Accounts > Your account.
iChat can uses a different pic to the other two.
The Address Book will tend to "see" the Account (System Preferences) one when you set up the Mac and those two are likely to be the same (Although you can make them different)
These ideas may show you where the Buddy pic is coming from and where it can be changed
I will admit to having difficulty editing Address Book Entries on the Mac itself

How to change indentation iCloud Pages Beta?

It is really annoying, I can move that grayed out indentation thing on my iPad in Pages, but when I'm on iCloud Pages Beta on the PC at my school (which updates to the most recent version of Chrome or Safari or Firefox whenever it is available), the button is not available.
Does anyone know if there is a workaround, or is this just Apple being Apple?
The help article for this question is: http://help.apple.com/pages/icloud/1/#/gil56d107ce4 - but this is worthless help article, it doesn't help me at all and even the IT person who administrates the computer lab could not help me. Anyone who can help will be really really really appreciated.

And in case anyone wants to know, this is not just because I was using a PC….
Anyone know how to fix this, if it can be fixed??

How to change avatar to picture of choice

Guys, how do you chnage the avatar to your own choice of picture? Please help. =)

Do you mean a custom avatar here at ASC, Velskud?
If so, I'm afraid you'll need to get to level 3 before you're able to do that. See:

How to change the language for better usage of englisch books

I use audition 5.0 and have bought the Classroom in book.
I have installed in french.
It would help me to aply the lessons when I might change the language of the software from french to englisch.
Under PRESETS there is not such a function.
Thanks, adob1948

This information is, I believe, partly or completely stored in the registry. What this means is that you have to do a complete uninstall, and reinstall selecting English as the installation language.

How to change apple id on iPhone. Wife and I have same apple ID. Get each others iMessages. want to put her on another cloud with different id.

How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them. We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.

Have her create a new ID.   Here: https://appleid.apple.com/
Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device.   Now have her use the new ID she has created.
That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases.   You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices.

IMessage beta problem, how do I uninstall it?

I installed iMessage beta (free) on my MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.7.3 and began messaging a friend, "Sue". My daughter received those messages I sent to Sue as though she wrote them herself and I began receiving messages my daughter sent to Sue. Sue is also receiving all messages sent to her from me and my daughter but they all appear to be sent from my phone number, not mine from me and my daughter's from her phone. I have an iPhone 4 and my daughter has an iPhone 4S, and our phone numbers and email addresses are different. We have different iCloud accounts; however, we legitimately "share" iTunes through my iTunes account. I think that's where the cross over comes from. I am so confussed about how to resolve it, so I am trying to remove the iMessage beta app from my laptop. I can't get rid of it! I go to applications and trash it, but it is still installed. How do I uninstall it?

HI,
There are now two places to look.
One is the Phone > Settings > Messages and > Receive At > Caller ID
The other is a stop off in Received At you can put in your Apple ID in the top setting (it is better that this is your iCloud ID that is separate rather then the "joint" iTunes one ).
In the Caller ID you may need to specify the Number over the email (iCloud ID).
This setting on the Phone makes it send from the Number rather than the ID.
Some consideration may need to be given to whethter you send a lot of Messages using a Wifi Connection (Apple ID).
Obviously repeat for daughter's phone.
Thanks for the points

I have an iPhone 6 plus with iOS 8.2

How do I change the number iMessage is sending from on a Macbook?

I originally entered the wrong number when I was first setting up my account. I can't figure out how to change it from settings. Any help? Thanks.

On the Mac: iMessages>Preferences>Accounts.
On the Phone: Settings>Messages>Send & Receive.
Why is this difficult?

You have an Apple ID signed in to all the devices which is causing this.
"When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID."
To correct this, go into Settings > Messages > Send and Recieve at > See below...
On your phone: Uncheck your son's phone number
On his phone: Uncheck your phone number.
On iPad: Uncheck both phone numbers to prevent iMessages sent to either number to also appear on the iPad.
If you have email addresses associated here, then you may have to remove those as well, although you won't be able to remove the Apple ID that you're using. Any iMessage sent to that Apple ID will arrive at all the device unless you sign out of that Apple ID and create/use another Apple ID for that device.

Installed iMessage beta, cant log on, iCloud now won't log on either.

The subject tells the tale. iCloud was working fine on my MacPro running 10.7.3. Yesterday I installed iMessage beta. Once I rebooted I tried iMessage but could not log in. I went to System Preferences to check the settings for iCloud and saw I was logged out. Trying to log in resulted in the dreaded "This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account.".
I removed iMessage beta, but nothing changed. I checked the forums and deleted the networkconfiguration.plist file and rebooted. No change.
Sigh.
Any ideas on how to get iCloud and hopefully iMessage working?

Hi
There are two issues here.
1) Messages beta after the Install and restart will ask for an Apple ID.
It does not have to be an iCloud one.
2) On the iCloud front can you log in on the web site rather than via the Mac itself in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars ?
Notes.
On both the iOS 5 devices and the Mac the relevant apps are called "Messages"
They Send iMessages (to iPhones, iPads, certain Touches and Messages Beta using either the Phone Number or Apple ID).
Messages beta on the Mac can also do everything that iChat can do (at iChat 6)

this forum should not be used for Beta versions.
Look in the agreement you signed to test, the maiuls you received from Apple, and find out the right community.

IMessage Beta does not login

I can't login with iMessage beta. I'm at work behind a proxy.
Any clue how to solve this problem?
Cheers,
Great_Om

Thanks, but that much I know. Can anything be done about it?
Also, a while back, I tested a demo version of LR3.5, everything in it ran
obnoxiously slow.
For instance, when moving a slider, nothing happened on the screen. Not
until I "let go" of the slider could I see the complete change.
Obviously, this is unacceptable. Was wondering, could this be by design
since it was a demo version?
If I had purchased it, would the problem go away or likely remain?

Looks to me like LR4beta did recognize your operating system correctly.
LR4beta will not run on any version of Windows XP.
