Imessage in ICloud and Mac OS 10.8?

Hi.
I dont get my I message working via iCloud id? I just got Mac OS 10.8 and iMessage but I dont get it to work with ICloud id.
The symptom is that when I try to logg in to my Apple Id it get stuck with nothing that happens. No respond at all. Not any error report just nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
Please give me some assistance.

hi,
I have friends like this when their AppleID is different than their @me.com address. iMessage use the AppleID and not the @me.com address. In order to reach them, you need to use their AppleID which are in their case another email address that even may longer exist.
Maybe I'm wrong, but you should check what your AppleID is at https://appleid.apple.com and try to login iMessage with that and try this same ID for people to contact you.
I talk with Apple Customer Care about this arguing that this would make no sense of not being able to use the same AppleID and @me.com address. He did agree but to no ends; they cannot change your AppleID since it is registering all the purchased.
If that your case too, that will make this thread interesting because it's quite a customer issue of not been able to use your @me.com as your primary email address.

Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

Groups on iPad and iPhone not on iCloud and mac.

iCloud and mac - don't syc with - iPhone and iPad.

I have deleted and reinstalled iCloud on my iPad. The contacts download from somewhere, MobileMe?, but they are not the same as those on my iCloud contacts. Or on my mac.

IMessage on iPad and Mac not working since 9/9/14

Hello!
All of a sudden, iMessage stopped working since 9/9/14. So here is the weird thing. It is working on my iPhone 5S, BUT I cannot send any iMessages to my mother in Austria. The weird thing is, my mother still can send iMessages to other friends, just not to me, not even on my iPhone. The other weird thing is, i cannot send any iMessages anymore on my Mac or iPad. It says on my Mac that ".... XXXXXX is not registered with iMessage", while I can send an iMessage from my iPhone 5S without any problems to that number.
So I tried EVERY trick in the book: Restart, logging out everywhere, Cmd+alt+p+r reset, resetting Mac, resetting iPhone and iPad, nothing worked (so please do not tell me anything with logging out and back in, resetting etc., I appreciate any help, but I already did this in any possible combination).
Clearly, there is something wrong with the iMessage servers. What else can I do?

Simultaneously saving on iCloud and Mac?

I would like to simutaneously save my PhD-thesis on my Mac as well as on iCloud and keep both documents in sync.
Reason: iCloud would be a good back-up and allows multiple access (for sudden ideas if my MBP is not at hand) while I also need to work on my Mac quite often without internet access. Furthermore, I wouldn't want my thesis to be only saved in the cloud.
Am I too cautious or even paranoid? Could I shift my precious document entirely to the cloud?

Use iCloud, the document is also stored on your Mac at user>library>mobile documents and is backed up by Time Machine.
Do not use iCloud as a replacement for Time Machine, it is not a backup system!

Synch iphone with icloud and mac?

I am having problems with trying to find instruction on how to achieve synch for my contacts using iCloud, iphone and Mac.
Is there any information available on this?
If so, where??
Appreciate your help and advice.

This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book).
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Why do I show both the iCloud and .mac mail accounts on my phone

I have an icloud account and both the .mac and icloud mail account show up on my iphone. Is this necessary? If I disable mail on the icloud page of my phone, will the mail be accessable in icloud but not show as a seperate account on my phone?

You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone. If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so. Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

Connecting iMessages through phone and Mac

I am trying to make my iMessages go through both my phone and my Mac, but can't seem to find the code it asks for on my phone. Any help finding that code?

If on your phone you go to settings -> messages look for forward message. your device should be listed, enable it and a code is asked. After a short time the code will be shown in your messages on your mac.
If you don't receive the code, restart your phone, had that problem and rebooting the phone helped

ICloud and Mac after recovering from Recovery HD

Hi everyone.
I had a serious issue with my mac, but I solved it by reinstalling OS X using recovery HD. So now because of that I can still see my old Mac data in the iCloud. I got the same Mac, but iCloud thinks that I got two different Mac and now it is syncronizing with my Mac. I got all new data on my Mac, but iCloud is giving me stuff from my old OS, because it thinks it should syncronize and give me all my data back.
So the question is: How do I remove all my data about my old OS from iCloud?
Thanks

can you go back to recovery mode then open disk utility.
in disk utility, higlight the disk, the one saying the brand and size then click on repair disk under first aid tab
if it repairs fine, that's okay
if repair was not successful, go to partition and change current to 1 partition then apply
install lion again
hope this helps

ICloud and .mac mail

Good day Apple Community
I had to convert to iCloud to keep my .mac mail account.
My question is, do people continue sending mail to my .mac
account, or will they have to now use .me?
I got a rather confusing message stating that I could keep my
mail account at [email protected]
Just looking on some clarification so I know if I have to send out a
mass email notification.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Cameron

Thanks Monica!
I figured as much as in the past, sending emails to the .me address ended up
sending the email to my .mac home account, as well as my 'mobile me' remote
site.
Thanks again for your reply!
Cameron

Icloud and Mac

I've recently purchased an ipad which syncs with my iphone4s through icloud but I dont seem to be able to get icloud photo stream on my Macbook Pro can anyone help?
Thanks
Lisa

Welcome to the Apple community.
Do you have iPhoto 9.2.2 installed, have you installed the iPhoto photo stream update, have you enabled photo stream in your iPhoto preferences.

Selective backup to icloud and mac

when I turn on icloud backup on my iphone it says I don't have enough storage - needs 5.2GB
of that 4.7gb is the camera roll.
I can be selective in what I backup, i can turn off backup of the camera roll (not to be confused with the photostream which doesn't count towards storage)
If I turn of the camera roll (or any other options) will the camera roll backup to my iMac while the rest backs up to the cloud?
Thanks
David

No idea. What is it that you actually want do?

Prompted to sing in iCloud and iMessages every time i turn on Mac Book Pro

In the last few weeks, every time I turn on my Mac Book Pro, I get a pop up asking me to sign into iCloud and I messages. After doing so, I go to my Messages-Preferences and Accounts to ensure my iMessages is active and it is not so I have to re-enter my Apple id . Once entered, iMessages is activated but when I go to Account - Details, it asks me a window comes up and says, To view account information of (iMessage ), enter Apple ID; I do enter my ID then a pop up comes up with "account details" It lists my username and below two spaces for my password which has dots to represent characters. I know that password is not my current ID password as it is shorter. When I type in my current password, it tells me I must use a password I have not used in the past year. I don't understand? IT is not like I am changing a password because I have not clicked on the button below called " manage Apple ID; where i can change password etc".
Anyone can help me on this?
I would be happy to insert snap shots of the windows but don't know how to do so using my macbook, only my iPhone at this time.

You showed a kernel panic file from OS X, apprantly Log Me In is installed into OS X or running when you log in.
You should be using the developers installer/unistaller to remove Log Me In from OS X.
Somehow it's in OS X, I don't know, but it's there and you need to remove it. I'm not dealing with Windows, just OS X.
Talk to Log Me In people and find out what is installed where so you can do a manual deletion out of OS X.
If that doesn't work, you have to reboot holding the Shift key down manually search for any Log Me In or Himachi files on your computer, in your System/Library/Extensions folder too, use the free Easy Find.
