HT5538 I changed my apple ID and now iMessages won't work
I recently changed my Apple ID and now iMessages won't work on my Mac. It will still work on my iPhone and iPad, but they will not communicate with my Mac. None of the messages I try to send from my Mac will go through.
HI,
This is a step up from the previous suggestion.
Make the Finder the "front" app.
Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the Menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
Find com.apple.imservice.imesssages.plist and drag it to the Trash.
Restart the app.
You will most likely have to re-enter the Apple ID
If that does not work delete the com.apple.imessages.bag.plist (this one holds the server it should be trying rather).
Again Restart the app.

It won't work. It was working at first when I updated but then after like 2 hours it wouldn't work. I rebooted it and THEN it wouldn't work. I would sign in to set it up, pick an email I wanted to use, but then it would take me back to the sign in screen with no explination. I'm getting really annoyed. I NEEED IMESSAGE. HELP

.avi animations made with Flash won't work on my mac laptop (version 10.6.8) but they used to. What is the problem?
let me be more specific, the .avi animations will not play in Quicktime on this laptop, but they used to. When I import them into final cut express they won't show up there either. What should I do to fix this?

My Magic Trackpad won't work on my Mac Mini?
My Magic Trackpad won't work on my Mac Mini? The cursor moves a little and then will not respond at all. Gestures do not work
Yes, it's one of the things that can interfere. Here are some others including airport. Try changing your access point to use 5 Ghz or a lower 2.4 GHz channel.

Imessage won't work/activate after 5.1
I updated to 5.1 this morning, and now my imessage won't work. I try to turn it on, and I just get an activation error. "An error occurred during activation, try again".I've read in some other posts that my phone number should show by the imessage option? I don't see it anywhere. Once I get the activation error, then it provides me with the option to sign in using my appleID, but it when I do, it just keeps on reverting back to the sign in screen and won't connect. I've read through this forum and tried everything that I found - checked the date/time settings, checked my phone number, reset the networks, hard reset - and still it won't activate. What do I do?
Mine didn't work for 2 months and this fixed it, so I posted it in another discussion and have been getting "thank you" replies nearly daily:
Just update your date/time settings:
Settings
> General
>> Date & Time
>>> Set Automatically: Slide "ON"...If it's already on, then slide it off, chill for a bit (maybe restart it), then slide it back on.
I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1, but other users with 3GS, 4S, and even iTouch devices replied that it worked. -

My Canon LIDE 600f won't work on my Mac Lion
I've downloaded a driver from Canon, and at someone else's suggetsion, a Canon toolbox, but: My Canon Scanner LIDE 600f won't work on my Mac Lion. Any ideas?
With the scanner driver installed and the scanner connected to the Mac, if you open System Preferences > Print & Scan, is the scanner shown in the list of devices? If not, are you able to add the scanner?
And if you open Image Capture located in Applications, does this show the 600F in its list and peform a scan if selected? -
Standalone Projector won't work on a Mac when output from Mac Flash 8 Pro
Standalone Projector won't work on a Mac when output from Mac Flash 8 Pro
I'm outputting a Mac projector file that will work on my mac computer. However, when I upload it to FTP and download it my mac or another mac, it won't work! What's going on? I've tried adding ".app" to my file and it still won't work. Help!
Here's my set up: Flash 8 Pro on Mac Intel with Mac OS 10.4.11Hi,
Does it work if you .zip up the projector and FTP the .zip and then unzip the projector on the other Mac's? A projector is basically an application. Applications in Mac's have package contents and resource bundles. When copying files over the network on Mac's, symbolic links inside the package contents and bundles can get messed up.
Thanks,

Ack! AU plugins won't work on Intel Macs!
I know this is already known, but does anyone know what to do about the fact that all our old AUs won't work on Intel Macs? I just got a new mini and wanted to use the good old C3 compressor and it wasn't there, even though I had installed it in the usual place.
I'm not even gonna bother trying to add Guitar Rig 2 until I hear that it works.
Any news on new ports of C3? Or any new Intel-compatible AUs?Hi chris,
You need to check all the sites where you got your plugins to see if they are Intel ready (most should be in the next couple of months).
Check out this thread for a bunch of free plugs too (some of wich are Intel Compatible). Thanks go to Warrior Ant for the VAST majority of these posts.
