Just reporting this bug... Could not find anyother place to do it.

I thought it was doing that also. But I found that if I start a new chat with someone I was messaging before, then the old messages re-appear in the messages window.

Is there any way to clear out the notifications from iMessage Beta?

I installed iMessage beta to sync up my iPad and iChat chats... Except, now iMessage claims I have one new message but in actuality I don't. Does anyone know how to get it to stop saying 1?
I've closed all the chat windows, I've restarted the app...

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

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

AIM login with iMessage beta sometimes works with ssh, sometimes only without

I frequently log in and out of iChat and find that (with the iMessage beta) it often cannot login. If I change the server setting (to the AIM server) alternating from ssh to unchecked ssh, it always succeeds. Otherwise, it just will not connect to the AIM server. Any ideas?

HI,
I presume you mean the SSL option.
The AIM servers do in fact have both SSL and NON SSL server to login.
Many more people have version of AIM that don't have SSL so there are more servers to allow connections that way.
This means if the SSL server have an issue then you tend to spot it more often.
The second thing is the SSL Option always needs a Manual Reset to reconnect (it does not do it automatically)
Sometimes just Deselecting "Use this Account" to "log Off" and then Logging back in again is enough to sort this.
Other times it seems you do have to also Deselect SSL and then re-log in.
There is no workaround that shortens this or produces a set result each time. You just have to work through it (Or leave it set NOT to do SSL).

IMessages Beta - from iPhone to iPhone number

iMessages for OSX is working well but I don't understand why an iMessage sent from an iPhone to my iPhone shows up on my phone using my phone number but does not show up on iMessage Beta on my Mac? If the iMessage goes to the iMessage server and then is pushed to my iPhone, why does it not push it to my Mac as well? I can initiate an iMessages from my Mac to my iPhone number, and then a reply in the same thread will go from my iPhone to the Mac - but it absolutely won't work when the iMessage is initiated from my iPhone to my Mac? I think it is a bug that simply does not link/push an iMessage to an iPhone number to the OSX iMessage app? Thanks

Actually I hope apple leaves it as is...Its not a an problem, but something I use all the time for example.. A iphone has a phone number associated with it. ipad, ipod and mac do not.. So on iphone you have two options of receiving messages... If they are sent to your iphone number or apple ID or you can set up the phone to receive messagees from both.. Ipad, ipod, and mac do not have a phone number assositaced with them since they are not a phones, so they only receive messages from apple ID... Not like in my household, we all have our own iphones but have one ipad.. So my phone is set up to receive all messages including those from apple ID, but i do not want ipad to receive messages unless i specifically began a conversation on it as someone else could be part of one's conversation without wanting to be a participant by just using an ipad while I am texting with god knows who on my phone...
To resolve your issue, set up your phone to receive imessages on phone number (default and you can't change that) but also add your apple ID so you can recive messages sent to apple ID on your phone.. Now change your caller ID on the phone to apple ID, so everytime you send a message from the phone it will register as apple ID to other users.. Hence all your devices are in sync... The only issue you are having is if someone specificly begins a new conversation with you on a phone and selects your phone numbers instead of apple ID.. Then it will pop up just on your phone... however I belive your response should change it back to apple ID.. Not sure.. However most people with iOS devices usually scroll through their open conversations list instead of starting a new message from what I have seen, so you should be ok..

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)

Failling activating iMessage BETA

Hello,
I just installed iMessage beta, tried to activate it with my Apple ID(same I used to connect to this Forum).
But it doesn't work.
First it's telling me that he cannot fint the Keychain login an ask me to reset keychain to default, I tried to do it. but it still not working.
After that, it's kind of trying to log-in without ending it, just trying to do something.
Any idea to solve that ?
Thanks

Hi,
Lets try a few things first.
Open the Applications/Utilities folder and launch KeychainAccess.
At the top left it should be set to the Login item (Depending on what you have installed there may be others)
Lower Left should be set to Passwords.
On the right hand side now look for those IDs that are used in iChat or Messages (Buddy List account Names are also used in Messages) and look for the Apple ID being used in Messages.
It maybe marked as a temporary item
Uploaded with Skitch!
Open the Access tab/Button.
Does this List Messages and IMAgent ? (It may list others if used with iCloud - or it maybe has the top radio button selected to Allow All)
If everything appears OK here then return to the Attributes tab/button
Select the Show Password box
(Enter your Login Password and hit the Allow Once button in the Dialogue box)
Does the password that shows up match what you think it should be ?
If you use the Manage your Account option to log in Here
Can you Login ?
Does it list your Apple ID ?
And an Alternative email ?
The reason I ask is I linked my Apple ID to Login to Apple Support Communities to an iCloud Name.
That caused Apple Support Communities to revert my email used for Alerts from here to be be the Apple ID email (it came from a dial-up Account and I was trying to drop the email use).
What I cannot do now is Change the Apple ID to the iCloud ID   and I can't list a different email here to get alerts about new posts.
Part of this seems to be the verification of any secondary emails.
I had to find lots of my test/Trial @mac.com names and remove some secondary emails that were out of date/unused/inaccessible.
Some accounts were more difficult to access as I had never verified any of the emails used.
The Point
Have you verified your details for this Apple ID you are using ?

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?

Downloaded iMessage Beta. Can't sign in.

So I downloaded iMessage Beta today and despite having the proper Apple ID info put in, it says "Could not sign in. Incorrect Apple ID or password." And nothing else. No dice. Any ideas? I really need iMessage to talk to people on campus when I'm in study areas without cellphone service.

Is that the story they're spinning? Apple announced Mountain Lion back in Februrary or so, and provided a developer build. Then they gave a rough ETA, which was clarified at WWDC in June.
So Apple told its developers. Perhaps Serato just figured they'd wait a while before getting going. Are they a Windows developer too? ;-)

IMessage Beta - conversations

I like a to have a tidy text iMessage page on all my mobile devices. So once I'm done texting with someone I delete the conversation.
I downloaded the Beta version of iMessage for the Mac and I find that on the Beta version the conversations keep showing up even after I've deleted the message with that person and started a new one. Is there a way to delete the ongoing text conversation? Thanks.
iMessage Beta - iMac - Lion 10.7.3

HI,
Actually there is not. (well not that easy anyways)
Message beta should be saving All Chats in the iChats folder.
By default this is in your Home Folder/Documents.
Check the iChats Folder has the chats that you want to delete (It is also no good deleting them here as these are not the bits that are called back)
Once you know they are saved then you need to do the Following.
In the Finder > Go Menu hold the ALT key down to seethe Library item
Select this
Open the Messages folder
The Sub folder called Attacthments is the chats that had Pic or Files in them.
The three Chat.db and Chat.db-xxx iterms are the files involved in bringing back those Chats.
IF you use Quick Look to open them you may be prompted that TextEdit can open them. (You may want to do this as a further check)
The Chat.db one can then be either edited or deleted (it will get recreated).
