Imac OSX 10.8.2 imessage will not show the text I type
When using message from my imac, the text i type does not appear in the chat box. But this same text I just typed will show up on my iphone and ipad.
I have looked under preferences and do not see any related settings. Is this meant to be? If not how can i correct this issue.
Thanks
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

My MacBook Pro will receive emails, yet the text is missing in all of them. Any ideas?
Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

When using spotlight search my phone will not show all text messages with a common word even though I have not deleted any messages from my phone and I have the message search turned on in settings under spotlight search. The search only shows the messages that are recent within the past day or so. Why won't it show the other messages when I search for them even using a specific word that I know was in the message I'm searching for.
Hello ChiomaM,
It sounds like you are not getting notifications for new text messages that are coming in, and you must manually check the app. I recommend checking the Notification settings to see if they are configured correctly:
iOS: Understanding notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
iOS apps can provide three types of notifications:
Sounds: An audible alert plays.
Alerts/Banners: An alert or banner appears on the screen.
Badges: An image or number appears on the application icon.
You can view which apps provide notifications and adjust notification settings using Settings > Notification Center. For additional information, refer to the user guide for your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,

When I upgraded to 4.0 it will not show the toolbar "Firefox is not able to show the Toolbar. Please re-install the Toolbar" How do I fix this?
This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I have a friend who is not very savvy with computers. He works on a PC. (There may be versions for pc OS versions) I use a Mac-your website will not show the PC pages to me. How can I find the proper URL to embed in a button?
Try going to the following
Tools->Web Developer-> Page Source.
You can also access this by way of keyboard shortcut Ctrl + U
The View Page Source option is also available via the right-click menu by just right-clicking inside the page window & it will be the penultimate menu item. -
A login webpage gives the message "This script requires that jquery.js be loaded first." then will not show the user ID and password login boxes. How can this be corrected?
That message is listed in two scripts on the bank's site. One function that can display the message is named PhotoRotator and the other is named PromoRotator. However, I can't seem to trigger the error myself.
If you have any add-ons that alter the page, such as ad blockers, try creating an exception for these sites and see whether that helps:

My iphone 4s will not show the lightning bolt on the battery icon while plugged in
My iphone 4s will not show the lightning bolt icon while plugged into either the wall or the computer. It shows between 1% and 4% charge. I have reset, and done a factory reset, and this has not fixed the issue. My computer will not recognize the device. While off, the iphone shows that it recognizes that it is plugged in, but i cant tell if its charging because the lightning bolt will not show. Please help.

When I place a clip in the timeline and try to watch it, the viewer says "Unrendered" and it will not show the clip. What do I need to do to fix this?
Option 1: Render the clip in FCE then watch it.
Option 2 (preferred): Convert the clip so it will match your Sequence settings in FCE prior to importing the clip into your project. It will not need rendering if converted properly.

When I click on pictures on eBay and Facebook...it will not show pictures/enlargements...just blanks....will work with IE. NOT ff
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
