I lost iMessage on my Macbook Pro with the last update

I did a security update on Safari and also for my operating system on the 18th. Now I've lost iMessage. It's just called Messages. It won't let me log in to use it. I lost FT as well, but I found where to log in with my Apple ID and it's all good now. But I can't seem to do that with the new message program that I use regularly.

There has never been an application called "iMessage." Messages is the application, and iMessage is the messaging service. If you can't log in to iMessage, please describe what happens when you try.

  • Anyone else having multiple issues with their Macbook Pro with the Lion Update?

    I had beachballing and the wifi will not turn on. HELP

    Unfortunately, I think that the fact that you mentioned the presence of anti-virus software has dragged this discussion a bit off course. As you say that WebRoot has been installed for a year, while the problem just started recently (and not right after upgrading to Mavericks), I don't believe that the anti-virus software has anything to do with it.
    As for what the problem might be, my best guess for something with such a sudden and unexplainable onset is a dying hard drive. Do you have backups of your data? If not, that could become a very serious problem. First priority needs to be figuring out a way to back up your data.
    Once your data is backed up, check the hard drive's SMART status:
    If it checks out fine (ie, says "Verified"), try repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility.

  • Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id

    Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id

    When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
    Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs.

  • HT1947 Can I control the volume of my MacBook Pro with the remote app on my IPhone or IPad?

    Can I control the volume of my MacBook Pro with the remote app on my IPhone or IPad?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To an extent yes. You can't control the master volume, but tou can turn the volume up and down, up to the maximum set manually on your computer.

  • If I buy an external hard drive for my new MacBook Pro with the retina display, can I play The Sims 3 on it?

    Hi!
    I recently bought the new MacBook Pro with the new retina display, but since it does not have a dvd/cd drive, I was going to buy an external one. I think I will be able to use it to watch dvds, but can I also play the computergame The Sims 3 on it? If not is there anything else I can do?
    Thank you!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can try formatting the external drive on your eMac using Disk Utility and choosing a well-known format > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html. It's quite possible that your new iMac would be able to read it, but first, tell us which formats Disk Utility lists.
    If you have those songs in iTunes, simply go to Music folder and copy the iTunes folder to the external drive. Then, connect it to the iMac and copy the iTunes folder to Music folder.
    If they are not in iTunes, copy your songs to the external drive. Then, connect it to your new iMac, open iTunes and drag the songs into it

  • I want to know if the Macbook Pro with the ash key board and as the cd rom infront is more recent than the one with the black key board and as the cd rom on the side.

    I want to know if the Macbook Pro with the ash key board and as the cd rom infront is more recent than the one with the black key board and as the cd rom on the side.

    Hi Tracy,
    I'm guessing "ash" is the silver colored keyboard, the same color as the rest of the MBP? If so, that machine, with the optical drive slot on the front, is the older machine.

  • Do the air/pro herschel cases fit the macbook pro with the cd drive?

    My boyfriend owns the macbook pro with the cd drive. I am trying to purchase him a herschel case (they are sold in the accessory section in the apple store, online as well as in store)
    My only concern is that I know the air and the new pro are thinner, more sleek then the macbook pro with the cd drive and I'm just curious to know if the herschel cases that say "fits air/pro 13inch" actually fit the macbook with the cd drive.
    Any answers would be very much so appreciated!
    Thank you.

    yes their a difference.  The retna model is slimmer and doesnt have an optical drive.

  • Is there a reason that Skype quit workin on my macbook pro in the last week?  Microsoft went their messenger to it, so is there something there?

    I have a macbook pro, in the last week, i have lost the use of skype. is there a reason? has it something to do with Microsoft setting their msn up there?

    Well, running on a 2006 model.  I did not have a startup disc.  Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006.  Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set.  And, since then I think I popped it up to lion. 
    All I have on a disc is snow leopard.  And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive.  I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now.  We'll see what they tell me .  I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
    Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff.  So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc.  we'll see if they can recover.  If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system.  Just not sure at this point.

  • I lost my spell check with the last update

    I lost my spell check icon with the last update from firefox. I would like to have it back.

    I don't think Firefox normally has a spell-check icon. Was it on an add-on toolbar? Do you recall Firefox saying that particular add-ons would be disabled for compatibility reasons?
    Let me guess that you used the spell check on the Google toolbar. Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
    (1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
    (2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
    This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
    If it wasn't the Google Toolbar, a similar strategy still might work...

  • I am having a lot of trouble downloading itunes.My latest error message is that MediaToolbox.dll is missing. I have been trying to fix this for three days now .And it all started with the last update .Can anyone help?

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • HT5501 Somebody can tell me what is going on with the last update 10.8.2??I updated and since two days ago my computer is blocking with safari and is getting pretty much slower than before??

    Can somebody tell me what is going on with the last update of Mountain Lion 10.8.2?? Since then my computer is pretty much slower and blocken on Safari.

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • I did not update my iPad 3 with the last update, will that affect me updating to IOS 6?

    I did not update my iPad 3 with the last update, will that affect me updating to the new IOS 6? Will I get all the updates I missed in the previous update if I update to IOS 6. If not, tell me where to go to get the last update before I update to IOS 6. I thought I had time before this new one came out. Thanks for any help I get.

    You can update directly to iOS 6 now. Not updating to iOS 5.1.1 does not matter. If you have updated the iPad before, you know what to do.
