i want iMessage on my MacBook.. how do i go by to get it?

Mountain Lion.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.       
Application Compatibility
You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
If you have applications that you want to use that aren’t compatible, you can retain Snow Leopard and create a new partition to install Mountain Lion on or you can run Snow Leopard  server in a virtual mode.

    Assuming your MBP is a recent model, i.e. bought in the last couple of years, and that your TV has HDMI inputs (if you've bought it new then that's a safe assumption) then you need a mini-displayport to HDMI cable.  The Apple Store sell one:

  • How do I update iMessage on my macbook pro?

    So I've had my iMessage turned off for a while because I was just getting it serviced and didn't want to risk whomever was looking at my macbook getting bombarded with random messages here and there, and I just turned it on. It's all fine and dandy and we're all singing with the bluebirds and everything, except the history of my messages since I turned it off isn't showing up.
    Is there a way to get the new messages that I've only received on my phone to update on my iMessage ap on my laptop? So my iMessage on my laptop will show every single iMessage I've received even on my phone?

    Hi,
    The answer is No.
    I will qualify that a bit further.
    iMessages are pushed from the server for a limited period to all the registered/linked devices.
    I used my iPhone in a hotel when I went away for a weekend to watch the British Superbikes.
    The hotel had WiFi so I sent iMessages to my wife.
    That was the Friday evening.
    These particular iMessages did sync to my Mac once I turned it On on Sunday evening.
    I would surmise that a Friday to Monday catch up between iPhones and work computers is a possible but I have not seen anyone one post that.
    The sync is only "display on all Devices" and is not like a email Server that sends it to any device that logs in  that has not read that set of email(s).

    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 do I download iMessage to my macbook pro?

    mr. lanny i went into the app store on my mac book pro, and typed in messages but that never came up
    And it won't come up, becuase it's an app that comes with Mountain Lion and Mavericks. It's not something you purchase separately.
    Mountain Lion is OS X version 10.8
    Mavericks is OS X version 10.9

  • I installed Magellan Content Manager on my MacBook Pro. I want to delete it. How do I do that?

    I installed Magellan Content Manager on my MacBook Pro. I want to delete it. How do I do this?

    It is easiest to do this if you have access to an external hard drive that is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
    Attach the hard drive.
    In iMovie on your Mac Book, click VIEW?EVENTS BY DISK.
    You should see a small icon for your external drive in your Project Library List. Hold down the Command Key while dragging the small icon for your Project to the small icon for the external drive - then drop.
    (Note 1: Holding down the Command Key makes this a move. If you do not hold down the Command key, it will Copy not Move.)
    (Note 2: If you used Keywords, use Copy not Move. If you use Move, you will lose the Keywords.)
    Now, select the Project in the Project Library so it is highlighted. Click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA...
    This will copy over all music and photos used in the project, and it will either Copy or Move all Events used in the project to the external drive.
    When done, you can eject the external drive and plug it into the new Mac.
    You can run the project off the external drive as is. However, if you want to move everything to the internal drive, you can repeat the process above. Command-Drag the project to the internal drive, and then select it, and FILE/CONSOLDATE MEDIA...
    Consolidate Media moves or copies all assets to the same drive where the project is.

    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.
