IMessages not functioning on Mac OS X 10.8.2

I cant decide if this is a Mountain Lion problem or not... I updated to ML and all was fine. I recently got a new iPhone and set that up for iMessage etc. This was in England. I have recently moved to South America. My account is still attached to England to make use of the wider store.
Since I set up the phone, it seems, my iMessages cannot be sent or received on my Mac. They come through fine on the iPad and iPhone, but even when I compose on the Mac, they go off into the ether and it doesnt even show up in the conversation window as being sent. I know for sure the messages are going nowhere.
I have tried to disable my Google Chat, I have logged off and on again for iMessage. I have checked all the settings and they are all set up to receive and send from @gmail and @icloud accounts.
Can anyone please help?

Hi,
I went off to read Eric's link.
The Link says it was updated on the 18th Feb 2013 but actually reads about Messages in OS X 10.8 and 10.8.1 and pre iOS 6 on the iPhone.
After the OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6 updates the iPhone Number was also included in the Sync to the Messages app on the Mac.
So the iPhone is managing using at least the Cell/Mobile Phone Coverage to Receive and Send iMessages but the Mac is not.
I take it the Mac is using the same Apple ID ?
If Wifi or Ethernet on the Mac is the iPhone using the same Network ?
You seem to be saying the Mac Messages app is starting up and you are thinking you are sending iMessages but nothing is clear.
Are you getting a list (even if One) Chats down the Left hand side of the main Message window ?
If you click on them what is then in the text field on the Bottom of the right hand pane ?
Does it read iMessages ?
Your references to Googletalk and @icloud.com have me a bit confused.
An Googlemail ID can have the "talk" option Enabled at your Google Settings an then the ID can be used in Messages.
The Apple ID can be used for both iMessages and as an Valid AIM Screen Name (you have to enter it is iMessages and as an AIM account in the Add Account Pane).
I am not entirely sure you are using it in AIM or iMessages or whether it is separate from iMessages.
I did not receive any emails alerts from the posts I made yesterday.
It is also Late here so it will be a while before I get back

IMessages not functioning on OS X Mountain Lion's Messages

I just noticed that I am unable to send or receive iMessages on the Messages app on OS X Mountain Lion.
I checked the accounts, and the only two active are my facebook chat (which I regularly use) and Google talk. I do not see an iMessage account. When I try to add an account, the types are Yahoo, Jabber, AIM, and Google Talk. It doesn't seem any of these fits.
I am signed in to my Apple ID on my Mac and iCloud has everything enabled. What is the issue?

Hi Plasma,
It sounds like you may be looking at the Mail, Contacts & Calendars option under System Preferences. You need to set the iMessage account information up in the Messages app. Open the app, then select Preferences from there:

IMessage not functioning correctly

since the last software update imessage works but if I turn iMessage off on another phone it will not send it as a text message automatically like it used to,
i have made sure the send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable is on
i have tried this on several phones iPhone 5s and iPhone 4s
any suggestions or known faults ? Is it a software glitch ?
thanks in advance

It seems that Apple is aware of the issue and working already on a fix for that that should be released "immediately"
Sources: WSJ and http://www.redmondpie.com/ios-7.0.3-update-on-its-way-to-fix-ios-7-imessage-issu e/
Hopefully we won't have to wait too long this time.

Imessage not functioning with restrictions 'on'

I just updated my iphone 4 to OS5. I activated imessage but when I turn restrictions 'on' imessage reverts to 'off' The restrictions that I have are : Facetime and Ping are 'off' and location and accounts are set to 'no change'. I can't see any logical relationship between imessage and restrictions. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks so much Meg. Doesn't make me real happy though. When I want to send enhanced msgs and not get charged by my greedy service provider, I now know what to do. This begs the question, what is Apple thinking?

After upgrading to the latest ios my imessage and facetime apps do not function.....any one having similar difficulties?

Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.
Starting The Computer In Safe Mode;
If running, turn your computer off.
Remove any disks and thumb drives that are in your hard drives or ports.
Now start your computer but also;
'''Windows; '''Press the <F8> key repeatedly.
'''Mac: '''Hold down the Shift key.
'''Linux; '''Using the command line, Linux/Unix computers can be booted
into various run levels that determine which resources are loaded.
For example, "runlevel 1" is typically the equivalent to Windows and
Mac safe modes.
* Source; '''[http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Linux+Safe+Mode Safe Mode; Free Online Encyclopedia]'''
When the '''Boot''' menu is displayed, release the key you were pressing.
You must now choose what mode to use. The most used are;
* Safe Mode; The computer runs with only a minimum set of programs.
* Safe Mode '''With '''Networking; Same as above, but with internet access.

My send button on the iMessage screen will not function. I have tried it in every screen position ie. rotated the screen 90 degrees each time. With no results. Any suggestions?

My send button in iMessage does not function. I have tried it in every position ie rotated the screen 90 degrees each time but still will not send the message. Any ideas or sugestions?

Try this:
First you can try signing out messages and then back in.
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Activation of imessage ( t use over cellular data ) requires the ability to send SMS messages. Activation send a hidden SMS and depending upon where you are that could be an international SMS. Does your carrier plan suppor this?

Photosmart c309a- 'The wireless radio is not functioning, contact HP support'

My Photosmart c309a wont connect wirelessly. Upon running the wireless network test, the report states, and I quote "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support". The report then states the following:
Wireless on PASS
Wireless working FAIL
and everything following that stated as 'not run'.
Ive searched for other threads on the subject, and the only sloutions I can find are unplug the printer and plug it back in to reset it (made no difference), and try the HP print and san doctor (link was dead, found it manually and didnt work as it cant connect to or even see the printer on the network).
So the question is, is this a hardware fault, and if so what can be done about it?

Hello,
Yes, it is an hardware issue and indicates that the Wireless card is not functional.
Please call HP Tech Support for further assistance.
If you are in US , the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .
If you are not in US , then log on to www.hp.com , at bottom-left corner there is a world map icon, click on it and then select the region you belong to, which would then provide support options for you for that region.

Hi,
Could you please have a share with your phone's information?
Based on what I know, different phones may have different softwares developed by the manufacturer to make the connection through Windows operating system, we may check with the phone's manufacturer side and see if there could be some helpful information
offered.
Besides, please take a check with

Bridge not functioning in PhotoShop CS3 Extended

I deactivated Photoshop CS3 on a computer I was no longer using and installed it (CS3) another computer. I activiated CS3 on the new computer. However, when trying to use Bridge, I get a message that says that Adobe no longer supports Bridge Home and Bridge does not function on the new computer. Is there anything I can do to get Bridge to function as part of CS3 Extended?

Thanks, that worked.

Is there a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memos does on iphone?

Does any-one perhaps know whether there's a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memo does on iphone?

You can't do anything in the background of iOS. Apps are still one at a time (with a few exceptions like Music), and suspend when the app is closed. It's also against the App Store guidelines to sell apps that would allow such actions.
Though, maybe you could get your Voice Memos saved to MP3's, which can play in the background of other apps.

Satellite P300D-110 integrated webcam is not functioning properly.

Hello everyone,
as the title says, the integrated webcam of my Toshiba Satellite P300D-110 is not functioning properly. Allow me to explain. Using the Camera Assistance Software I can take photo's and record music. If I try to record a video the preview screen turns up black and the end result tuns out black aswell, completely black.
Whenever I try to use my camera with applications such as MSN Live Messenger, Skype or at community websites using Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari the application in question crashes.
*How did this happen?*
You tell me. This is how it went;
* Day 1: I've started up my laptop and looked at my fresh and clean install of windows vista home premium. I tried out my webcam using the webcam assistance software and it worked like a charm.
* Day 2: Once again I boot up my laptop and try to start my webcam only to find out that it no longer functions.
To give a quick summary of the thread;
* Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can take pictures.
* Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can record sound.
* Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can _*NOT*_ record or preview a video.
* I can not start my camera using any other application such as but not limited to; MSN Live Messenger, Skype, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safar.
* I have downloaded and isntalled the latest drivers from the Toshiba website.
* My laptop is about a week old.
I'm not sure what more I can do, all I want is for the webcam to work, if anyone can help me out please do so.
And if possible WITHOUT having to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium.
I haven't even used it and wouldn't want to make that a solution for all the problems that might occur in the future.
Sincerely,
a sad customer.

Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can NOT record or preview a video.
Can you please describe the steps how you try to do this? I must ask you this because it runs well on my notebook. When the recording is finished player opens and you can see recorded movie. It is avi format and at the top of this player you can see the path where the movie is saved.
Most strange thing for me is that you cannot use it with Skype. Ok for MSN is not the perfect but there is absolutely no problem with Skype. Check the settings and it must work somehow.

Keyboard+trackpad not functioning at all on HP 2000 Notebook PC! please help!

Tonight I turned on my laptop (HP 2000 Notebook PC) to find that the Keyboard and track pad was not responding, the only thing that worked was the wireless mouse.
I can not find the product number but the name is HP 2000 Notebook PC, the operating system is Windows 8, I can't login to see if there are any error messages, the last thing I remember doing was trying to apply a new cursor image and it told me to restart and when I did I couldnt log back in or type anything at all, I could only use the mouse.
Also the things I have tried to do are: Restart Computer, Take out batter and restart. (I cant do much because I can't type in password)
All help will be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: I logged in using the On-Screen Keyboard, it seems like a hardware malfunction and not a virus because i cant find anything in my downloaded stuff that wasnt there before. So it is just a hardware malfunction.
UPDATE #2: it says that the driver (for keyboard and touchpad) may be corrupt or missing and it says Code 39 in parenthesis.

Hello Oceanlife,
You state that the keyboard and touchpad are not functioning, that is correct? I will try to assist you with this issue.
As of today are you still having this problem?
If you have, any more questions do not hesitate to ask. .
Thanks
