Ichat from a mac to a mobile phone or iPad

Hi,
Just recently got a MacBook Pro and only just started using all the features..
I was wondering how to add a mobile phone number?
And an ipad contact??

Hi,
The Question has ended up being Posted in the iChat Community.
There is little (none in fact) info as to it actually being about iChat.
However.
iChat will make SMS connections to phone numbers if several factors come together.
1) The Mac needs to be set up as if it is in the Untied States.
This allows the SMS items in the iChat Menus.
2) Add a Buddy to the AIM Buddy list (i.e any screen name that logs in to AIM).
It should be in the format of +1 followed by the phone number (as in +19876543210)
3) the "receiving" phone needs to be on a US carrier that also supports the SMS forwarding by AIM
The Phone Number as Buddy can be added to the Buddy list as if it were the Screen Name.
IF adding it to the Address Book it has to be added there as an IM Name.
A later Address Book in Edit mode
An iPad contact could have been added to the Message Beta which does iMessages as well iChat style chats.
iMessages can be sent to phone Number or Apple IDs on those devices that support either.
(Messages beta was pulled from the Download pages at the beginning of this week  (About the 11th) )
However if you are talking about Messages beta the phone Number is added to the Address Book in it's usual place and Messages can see that for iMessages.

    Is there software available that will let me download photos from a Sony Jaou F100i mobile phone?  I have a USB cable.

    An external memory card reader.  You can purchase one for as little as $5.
    Contact Sony for software and/or read the user manual.  See if they have one for a Mac.

    If you have no backups, and data has been lost, then it's lost forever. The rest of your data will inevitably follow if you don't back up.

  • Can I move photos from my Mac to my droid phone?

    I have had no trouble transferring photos I take with my Android cell phone to my iPhoto library on my Mac desktop computer.
    But now I want to do the reverse--I want to move some photos from my Mac to the droid (so I can send them via messaging).
    Is this possible?   Thanks. 

    Contact droid support - you can export them from iPhoto to the desktop - getting tehm onto the Droid does not involve iPhoto

  • I can no longer send  texts via "Messages" from my Mac to non-Apple phones.

    After the latest Mac OS upgrade, my "Messages" app stopped sending and receiving texts from non-Apple phone users. Has anyone else experienced this interruption?

    Hi buribe215,
    It appears you are unable to use SMS relay, a Continuity feature in Yosemite. The following article provides basic troubleshooting steps you may want to explore:
    Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Apple Support
    If a Continuity feature like Handoff, phone calls, Instant Hotspot, or SMS messages isn't working the way you'd expect, make sure your devices meet the requirements. Then check your settings.
    Check System Requirements
    Make sure your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac meet the system requirements for Continuity, and for the specific features you want to use.
    Check your settings
    Check the following settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
    Make sure your iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi and comparing the name of the network each is on.
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
    Go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps and make sure Handoff is on.
    Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
    Check the following settings on your Mac:
    Go to the Wi-Fi icon at the top of your screen and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
    Make sure your Mac and iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your iOS device and compare the name of the network with the Wi-Fi network on your Mac.
    Go to the Bluetooth icon at the top of your screen and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
    In System Preferences > General, select “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.” If you don't see this setting, your Mac may not support Handoff.
    Open the FaceTime app, go to FaceTime > Preferences and turn on “iPhone Cellular Calls.”
    Go to System Preferences, and sign out and then sign in again to your iCloud account.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • I just got a new iPhone 5.  The sales person helped me transfer some of my photos from my Mac back to my phone.  Now, my iPhoto on my computer doesn't seem to be working.  Photos are there in photo stream, but I can't transfer them to events.  Help!!!

    I just got a new iPhone 5.  The sales person helped me transfer some photos from my MacBook Pro to the iPhone.  Now, I can't get iPhoto to move photos from Photostream to events.  Help!

    Make sure you have iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences set as follows:
    What happens when you drag photos from the Photo Stream window in iPhoto onto the Events icon in the left hand pane?  That should import the photos into the library.
    If it doesn't thenTry the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto, reset its various preferences and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Move photo's from apple mac book onto I phone

    I cannot find a way to move photo's from my macbook onto my i phone

  • How do I transfer my music from my mac mini running mountain lion to iPad 2. I have ICloud running, why are they not automatically pushed to the ipad2? Do I need to use ITunes? If so, how do I do it without deleting everything on the IPad2?

    I have a new MacMini onto which I have installed music files. I want to transfer them to my IPad2 . I have ICloud working properly, or so I thought, so why are these files not appearing on my Ipad2? Do I need to use ITunes? If so, how do I sync without erasing what is already on the IPad? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is the procedure for syncing music to the iPad.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    iCloud does not transfer the music on the Mac to the iPad unless you download it again on the iPad. iTunes Match may be what you are thinking of and you have to subscribe to that feature for a fee.
    You have to sync the music that is already in your iTunes library to the iPad using iTunes. You can turn on Automatic Downloads on both devices for music and when you download music on one device it will download to the other device.
    I get the feeling that you have never synced the iPad with iTunes before but you already have content on the iOad and are getting a message that the iPad will be erased if you sync with iTunes. If that is true, you need to transfer all iPad content into iTunes before you sync. This will help you with that.

  • How do I traspass my photos from my mac pro computer to a new ipad without usb port?, how do I traspass my photos from my mac pro computer to a new ipad without usb port?

    I have a Macpro computer and I want to know how to traspass photos or files to a new ipad model since it has no USB port.
    Thans for your help!

    You can transfer photos or documents to your iPad using iTunes. Connect your iPad to your computer using the cable that came with your iPad and sync it with your computer to copy your photos to it.
    With documents, you can use iCloud if you have Pages in your iPad. Go to iCloud > iWork and drag your documents in that page

  • All my photos sync in landscape mode (even portrait ones) from my Mac IOS 7 on my new iPad Aid. How can I fix this?

    WHen i sync my new iPad Air IOS 7 , all my photos sync in landscape mode.  How can I keep the original orientation of photos? If I edit and rotate, it is saved in camera roll, not in the album.

    Just to conclude, and give hope for any still suffering, I succesfully upgraded my iPAD to ios5 yesterday evening.
    I did have a conversation with Apple support a couple of days agao, in line with many others I was given various reasons why things oustide the Apple environment might be the root cause such as
    - ports blocked on the network I was using (although when I asked which ones they weren't certain - "80 and 442 we think" was the response
    - a fault on the iPAD
    - slow network connection
    The more interesting part of teh conversation was Apple was that the firmware update part of the install actually involves quite a lot of interaction with apple servers. My conclusion would be that the well documented performance problems in the early days after ios5 release were the root cause of my problem - reference to network ports. iPAD faults were just a smokescreen.
    My key learning - don't upgrade soon after a major release, I already knew this but when offered an update I didn't go back and check precisley when it had been released so I should have paid more attention :-)

    You have to update to 10.6.8 first.
    Then, if your machine qualifies, this explains how to get Mavericks:
