How to setup IMessages?

The email on my apple I'd account will work but I want to use a email easier for people to remember and for iMessages.....

  • How to setup iMessage correctly to avoid double replys

    Hi there.
    I have just installed Mountain Lion on my macbook air. I also have an iPhone.
    I now have connected my account with iMessage on the macbook.
    I am using the same account on my iPhone. So far so good.
    I then start a chat in iMessage from my macbook. As sson as I get a reply from the
    person I am chatting with I receive 2 replys. One in the iMessage center on the macbook
    and at the same time I am receiving the same message on my iPhone.
    That is pretty annoying. Is ther a way how I can get rid of this problem?
    Looking forward to your answers.
    BR
    Gerhard

    I'll describe how it works for me.
    I have two email addresses assigned to each device (except the iPhone 4s as it also has a phone #).  One is device specific and one is group specific.
    Sending to group from any of the devices will cause the sent message to appear on all devices.  If the responding device has 'group' as its caller ID then responses to it from the original sender will also go to all devices.  If the caller ID of the responding device is specific to that device then replies to the responding device from the original sender will go only to that specific device.
    So, if you wish all devices to be able to participate in all conversations then the caller ID of all devices must be set to the group email.  If you wish to use the group address to send to all devices initially but want to continue the conversation with only the responding device then the responding device must have a device specific email as its caller ID.
    IOW all devices with an email address that is 'sent to' will receive the transmission.  A responding device responds only to the caller ID of the sending device.
    This is exactly how I expect it to work and exactly how it works for all of my devices.  In Messages for iMac and iPad one can easily see this as the caller ID of the responding device is displayed.  It isn't so simple on the iPhone for if the caller ID of the responding device is not the same as the address originally sent to then a new conversation is started and one must physically switch to that conversation to continue.

  • How to setup multiple base station under one network?

    How to setup multiple base station under one network? I have 6 rooms but one airport base station makes really difficult to get good signal from every rooms. I wonder if I can setup multiple airport base stations talking to each other under the same network to build up the signal strength will help solve this problem. But, is it possible? How?

    One route would be to utilize a "roaming" network. In a roaming network, you would connect multiple AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBS) to the same Ethernet. Of course, this would require that your home is already wired for Ethernet.

  • How to Setup SSL on Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1..2)

    Hi All,
    Can anybody tell me How to setup the SSL on Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2).
    I have all the required documents like
    1. Oracle Application Server Portal Server Configuration Guide.
    2. Oracle Application Server Web Cache Configuration Guide.
    3. Oracle Application Server SSO Administration Guide.
    I tried to follow all this documents but still i am not able to set SSL for Oracle Portal Server.

    The Portal Configuration Guide, available on OTN at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/appserver1012.html does provide some very specific information on how to set up OracleAS Portal.
    Section 6.3.2.1 Configuring SSL for OracleAS Portal describes various configurations, such as:
    SSL to OracleAS Single Sign-On
    SSL to OracleAS Web Cache
    SSL Throughout OracleAS Portal
    External SSL with Non-SSL Within Oracle Application Server
    For larger enterprise configurations, you can refer to the Enterprise Deployment Guide.
    Can you give a bit more background on what you are trying to set up? Which scenario, what sort of hardware, software versions, and so on.
    Regards,
    Pete

  • How to move iMessage account to different mobile phone number

    Hello
    I am going to change mobile phone number and I would like to know how
    1) move iMessage/faceTime to this new phone number
    2) how to transfer the "history" (old messages) from my old phone number to the new one
    thx

    Hello, matteos72. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Make sure that your new number is updated in Settings > Phone > My Number.  Once this done, follow the steps in the quoted section below.  Next, sign back into iMessage and FaceTime.  The history will not be modified as no data is deleted. 
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

  • How to setup a static IP for a wireless printer

    This problem has been ongoing for several versions of OS X and the last five printers I've had and I'm finally over messing with it.  For some reson, when using a wireless printer with OS X this is a repetetive problem, and I think if I configured the printer to a static IP address instead of using DHCP, it might work better.  At least once a week, if not more often, I'll print something and get the ubiquitous Dock error of "Printer is not connected".  The printer is still in Preferences, but if I delete it, then it doesn't show up as it should for selection.
    The only way to fix this is reboot, and then the printer shows up again in Preferences.  I select it and all is well again...until a few days pass and the same thing happens again.  Using an HP LaserJet P1102w, still a current model, but it doesn't matter which printer I use.  I also have an Epson Artisan 725 and the same thing happens with it about once a week.  Also, this happens from both my Mac and my wife's Mac, so it's not an issue with just my machine.
    I've searched for documentation on how to setup a static IP address for a wireless printer with the Airport Extreme, but all I find are tutorials on how to do it with an ethernet hard-wired printer.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You could set up your router to do manual assignment of IP address instead of using DHCP, but that is a PITA, because then you'd have to manually set up IP for all your devices.
    If you have AirPOrt Extreme, you could do this:
    In your Apple TV, go to the Settings >> About and write down the MAC address of your ATV
    Start up the AiPort Admin Utility
    Go to Network tab
    click + in the DHCP reservations
    Choose an IP you want for your ATV & Enter the MAC address
    From now on, this IP address will be reserved to the MAC address and only your ATV will be able to get it, no other device will.
    It is not a static IP in a true sense, but behaves just like one.
    Works great for me...
    If you don't have a AP Extreme, I'm sure other routers will allow you do reservations too.

  • How to Setup Historical DSC Database on a standalone Server

    Hey @all,
    I am looking for documentation how to setup a standalone server for the DSC Module(Ver. 8) Historical Database.
    My aim is to log all data to this server. The Server will be running Win2K.
    Do I have to install the complete Labview 8 software and the DSC Module?
    Does a walkthrough exist how to setup a DSC server?
    Thx!
    Carsten  

    After installing the runtime you should only have to reboot the computer in order to get the citadel service running.  At the point, for citadel purposes, this machine will behave as though you had the DSC development system installed.  The 8.0 runtime has no setup requirements...it should only need to be installed.  Unlike previous versions, 8.0 requires you to build your application into an executable and the runtime should be invisible to you once you install it.  If this is not the case, please post about it so it can be looked at.
    If you have specific questions, please post them and I will either try and help you find the answers, get them posted, or answer them myself.
    Regards,
    Robert

  • How to setup the security based on roles in Organization.

    Hi,
    How to setup the security based on roles in Organization.
    For example:Few users are Manager and a few user are Non Manager .Manager should have access to all work data including Non Manager and Non Manager should access based role.How to setup this? How OBI server identify the user role?
    kindly let me know.
    Regards.,
    CHR

    Hi,
    You need to have Back End support to achieve this. In Back End you need to create two groups . You need to know what joins has to be made for which group (which is more important) and also make session variable for the userrole (with SQL supporting it). In the BMM layer, we need to put the security join conditions in the 'where clause'.
    And make a common report. User loggin in with the respective userid will have userrole and joins assigned in the Back end. And they will be viewing the report according to their access.
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Regards

    Update - it works ! At least I can connect to Mountain Lion (not server) from my iPhone using the VPN Server Configurator app.
    Here's what I did :
    1) download the app and install
    2) setup using the help files on the web page : http://www.greenworldsoft.com/product-vpn-server-help.html
    3) at the last stage you need to setup port forwardin on your router
    4) under Airport Utility 6.0 you cannot setup ports 500 or 4500 due to BTTM conflicts but setup the other 2 ports (1723 TCP and 1701 UDP), update airport extreme
    5) download Airport Utility 5.6 from here : download already extracted utility  it is in it's extracted form as is necessary under Mtn Lion (thanks to NetUse Monitor for the download - great app by the way)
    6) run 5.6 and setup port forwarding (Advanced-Port Mapping) for the other 2 ports (500 and 4500 UDP), update airport extreme
    7) that's it, I was able to connect to the VPN from my iPhone !

  • How to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page

    how to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
    Need to setup a set of word documents, converted to PDF that has links from one file to a second file at a given page.
    I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
    Is there a way to setup a link in word and the conversion to pdf that will result in a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type  you get when you add a link of the type Go to a page in another document?
    Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
    Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
    Open second document and go to page
    Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
    Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
    Go to a page in another document
    File: C:\My Documents\second file.pdf
    Page: 43
    Zoom level: Custom
    I got close but did not solve the problem:
    I have a version that uses links to a website, using #page=43 at the end of the hyperlink.
    That works but will only open to the page if is through the web browser, opening the acrobat reader plugin.
    I need to open from a folder on the local harddisk (with relative links), in acrobat pro to the given page of the pdf, on a PC or a Mac.
    I could bookmark each page “pagenumberxxx” and jump to the bookmark/page if that would get around some problem
    Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
    Windows XP SP3
    Word 2003 SP3
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
    Or just to view them:
    Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
    (note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)
    John

    No.  There seems to be no automated way to do it.  You can of course go into the PDF and manually add links after you have converted to PDF, but that is what we want to avoid having to do.  We want it to be automatic from the Word doc.
