I just hooked up facebook chat to imessage, and while Jabber says I am logged in, nothing from facebook is coming up. I use mountain lion 10.8.5 on a macbook pro.

I just added my Facebook chat account to iMessage. When I am logged in to iMessage, it looks like I am also logged in with Jabber, but nothing from Facebook is coming up (I use Mountain Lion 10.8.5 on a 2011 macbook pro)
I have already:
unchecked "use kerberos fv5 for authentification" and "use SSL"
checked "automatically find server and port"
restarted both the application itself, and then my whole computer.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
Although I don't have a Facebook I d have 3 other Jabber accounts logged in.
One is from Google and the others are from other Jabber servers.
My Google settings look like this,
Most Jabber server need SSL and the App will automatically make this port 5223.
However Google will let you change theirs to use port 443.
One of the other 2 is using "Automatically find Port and Server" and is using port 5222 and No SSL.
Whilst most will use SSL and port 5223 it is not true for every Jabber server.
I can never remember if the Facebook chat ID is @facebook.chat.com or @chat.facebook.com (I suspect the second)
You are using the Chat ID and not your regular Facebook ID ?
I can't follow the iChat link on this page as I can't log in
https://en-gb.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php
I would check the set up page  but if that does not work I would work through all the settings possibles with the SSL, Ports, warn on insecure passwords etc.

  • I just upgraded my system to Mountain Lion. If I restore my Macbook Pro back to the very beginning state, will the Mountain Lion be removed or not? Thank you

    I just upgraded my system to Mountain Lion. If I restore my Macbook Pro back to the very beginning state, will the Mountain Lion be removed or not? Thank you

    The only problem that I forsee is that some have reported problems getting machine-specific builds of Lion via Internet Recovery. Not sure if it's working yet or not. But you could give it a shot, I suppose. Basically what you want to do is 'prepare your computer for resale' - just like it came out of the box. Kappy, a pretty wonderful and very knowledgeable man, has tip for that which I have copied and will paste below:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
        1.    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
        2.    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
        3.    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
        4.    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • HT1218 How can I make my first generation AirPort Express work with Mountain Lion? I have a 13" MacBook Pro (non-retina).

    How can I make my first generation AirPort Express work with Mountain Lion? I have a 13" MacBook Pro (non-retina).

    Hi guys, recently had the same issue. You require an older version of Airport Utility to configure the older Airport Express. It can be found here.

  • Why can't I install mountain lion on OSX 10.6.8 MACBOOK PRO?

    I downloaded the mountain lion install app and now i can't install it I get the "This disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error when I try and install. If i back out to the main install page and try it again then i get this error "OSX cannot be installed on Macintosh HD". I have read similar posts and done appropriate responses such as verifying and reparing the HD. I have a Time Capsule that I backup to and I've tried disconnecting from it and ensured its not backing up during my attempts to install. Nothing seems to work. HELP!!!!
    Computer Stats:
    Early 2009 13" Macbook Pro
    Model identifier: macbookpro 5,5
    ram: 8GB
    HD space available: 60GB
    Processor: Duo core 2.53
    Nothing out of the ordinary. I don't have any crazy setups, pretty much straight out of the box.

    It was partitioned at one point when I had windows 7 on a boot camp partition. When I deleted it I formed it back into one partition. The only disk that shows up to choose in the installer is my main HD. Hope the pic helps.

  • Mountain lion on iMac compatible with retina Macbook pro?

    My late 2012 13" Retina Macbook pro running Mountain lion 10.8.4 is suddenly paralysingly slow due to kernel_task hogging my CPU. I have not been able to find a definite solution to this problem yet, but I am guessing some software installed is causing the sudden meltdown.
    I ran Apple Hardware test 3 times.. the first time it spotted an error "4SNS....ICOR..." but after cleaning out the vents on my mac, it hasn't shown up again.
    Now I read online that a clean fresh install of Mountain Lion may solve the kernel_task problem... however my rMBP is so slow, that I cant even manage to open the app store on it.
    So my questions are:
    1) Is there any solution to fixing the kernel_task hyperactivity on the rMBP that I am not aware of?  (Tried rebooting, resetting SMC, PRAM multiple times, repairing disk, repairing disk permissions -- all to no avail - the problem recurs after a short period of normalcy and then goes back to becoming unusable)
    2) I have a 2011 iMac... Can i download mountain lion on it via the app store, make a bootable disk from it, and use it to perform a fresh reinstall of mountain lion on my 2013 rMBP? Can OSX downloaded on app store of iMac be used on a totally different device like rMBP? Should I be worried about device incompatibility, drivers going out of whack, etc?  Or is the mountain lion installer a global software and can figure out the device make on its own and install itself correctly?
    Thanks
    Regards
    Oogamous

    1. That's a known problem in portable Macs. There's a fix but you have to follow the steps carefully > http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=259 Make a backup of your files before doing this.
    2. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display was launched with a special OS X version, but as the most recent OS X version is 10.8.4, you can download OS X Mountain Lion from the iMac and use it in the MacBook Pro without any problem. Just download OS X Mountain Lion in the iMac and use Lion Diskmaker to burn it to a USB drive or DVD > http://liondiskmaker.com

  • Why won't Mountain Lion install on my new 13" Macbook Pro Retina?

    I just received my Macbook Pro 13" retina 2 weeks ago.  I did a time machine restore and have now decided a fresh install of everything would be better since there are a lot of unnecessary programs and files from my previous macbook pro.  I did the reinstall by pressing command+R on restart and reinstalled Mountain Lion and it installed 10.8.1.  I then tried to do the Mountain Lion 10.8.2 update, which I previously purchased from the App Store, and it says it is not compatible with my machine.  There is no newer machine on the market than mine, so why isn't the latest Mountain Lion compatible?  Please help!  My iPhoto and other iLife apps are no longer compatible with this OS and I want my Mountain Lion back!

    You did it wrong. Do this:
    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    The above should install 10.8.2 so you will not have to update.

  • Mountain Lion instalation crash on late 2008 macbook pro

    Hey,
    Since about a week I am trying to install mountain lion on my macbook pro (late 2008).
    I'v tried to perform normal instal from snow leopard I also tried to install it from USB drive.
    Anyway installation always crashes after this line in log (I tried to save full log but it causes crash too ... )
    Module: PlistFile - ODQueryCreateWithNode completed
    by crash I mean autoreboot and information about "restart caused by an error ath the beggining".

    Are you just trying to do the upgrade, or did you completely reformat and try to install it from scratch?
    I would try that if you haven't already. Back up your important stuff first, then when you boot from USB, open Disk Utility (comes with the installer) and completely re-format your hard drive with the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system.
    If that still doesn't work, I would take it to an Apple Store.

  • OS X Mountain Lion is not supported on my MacBook Pro

    My MacBook Pro is not supported by OS X Mountain Lion, but General Requirements are satisfied in my machine. So, I can't download OS X Mountain Lion from AppStore, but I want to buy it and install it on my MacBook Pro. How can I get it?

    I have 2 Apple Macs, a Mac book purchased 2007 and a Mac pro G5 build year 2006 both running Leopard last year upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    Due to various reasons I didn't get organised to upgrade to v10.7 (Lion) until early July but I noticed the next version was about to be released and I could upgrade from v10.6 (Snow Leopard) to v10.8 (Mountain Lion) so ok I can skip Lion.
    I now find Mountain Lion will not run on either of my computers Apple tech support said sorry the architecture was changed around 2008 (no publicity about that) but I could upgrade to v10.7 (Lion) and still get some improvement.
    My problem is could not find where to purchase Lion which is only available as a download, it had been replaced by Mountain Lion. When I Contacted Apple sales they informed me that lion is no longer available, advised me upgrade my computers!!
    why can't I get Lion it was until mid July ?
    Older Software released prior to Jan 1,1998 in the US and worldwide is available
    Not happy

    Apple states that (of the MBP lines) it has to be from Mid/Late 2007 or later.  yours seems to be right on the line.
    Apple says
    If you are running Lion, you can find out if your current Mac qualifies by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, choosing About This Mac, then clicking More Info.
    you must also have the latest version of Snow Leapord or Lion

    I had tried 3 times delete "com.apple.dock.plist" and conduct "sudo reboot /w", deleted "itunes help" from login item, It work for one day or two then problem come back again.
    Anyone could help me ?

    If you're just trying to shut down the computer, holding the power button down until the screen goes black will do just fine. Can't help you with the plists, though.

  • I installed Mountain Lion on my one-year-old MacBook Pro and now the fan runs every time I use it.  That very seldom happened before.  Does Mtn Lion ,ake it work harder?  If so, can I go back to the old OS for some peace and quiet?

    This is my first time trying to post a question so I'm not sure I did it correctly...

    Hi JoeyR.  Well, according to this link at the Apple Store, OS X Moutain Lion became available in July and I downloaded it for $19.99.  I figured I would do that before renewing my Norton security SW.  Are we talking about the same thing?

  • Mountain Lion Bug with Late 2008 15" Macbook Pro

    While draging any type of file from one place to another it seems as if my mouse sticks when i let go of the button. My track pad is not broken because I grabed a Magic mouse, and still same problem. The only way to fix this I have found is relaunching finder, which then puts the file back in its original spot.
    Please Help! This is driving me crazy!

    Something is going on with your Accessibility preferences, though I am not sure what.
    System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad >
    Verify both Mouse and Trackpad Options. If you cannot find anything obvious then change one or more of the settings and determine if it has any effect.
