IMessages doesnt work on Mountain Lion

hi guys
ive been trying for ages now to connect to IMessages via jabber to my facebook account but i keep getting this msg "chat.facebook.com: Sorry, your account isn't available | Your account is temporarily unavailable. Regain access by logging into your account from your computer's web browser:"
can anyone please help me with that?
plus, how can i strart chatting with a friend who has an Iphone with IMessages? i really dont know anything about this thing
id love to get an answer back
thanks

HI,
As has been said the "Chat" option on your Facebook Account settings needs to be enabled to Chat in the first place.
In Messages > Preferences> Accounts server setting the server name should be whatever this page tell you
http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php (Click the iChat entry as it will be the same - I don't have a Facebook account so I can't tell you)
It should be something like the bits after the @ in your ID name
The Link above should tell you if it require SSL or not.
SSL will automatically change the port to 5223 and non SSL will be port 5222
iPhones and iMessages from the Messages App on a Mac.
You will need to "register" an Apple ID with the iMessages server.
Messages should have asked you to do this the first time you launched it.
From there you use the main Messages window
Use the icon top Left to Open a New Message
Then the Blue + icon that appears top right to access the Contacts list.
Select their Apple ID or iPhone Number
Or as has been suggested type their Name in the "To" field.
Once you have a Name in the "To" spot you can use it like a drop down
If your Card in the Contacts List (Formerly the Address Book) contains AIM or Jabber info as well that may also show up as in this Pic.
Your friend will have needed to register at least their iPhone number with iMessages as well.

IMessage Not Working Since Mountain Lion Upgrade

Since I "upgraded" my iMac and MacBook Air to Mountain Lion, iMessage delivery is hit and miss to the say the least from my iPhone 4S. I first realised there was an issue receiving text messages whilst in the States and not connected to WiFi. Messages weren't even being received as text messages, even but would all come through as a flood from my girlfriend when I connected to WiFi.
At the weekend she dropped her iPhone 4 and the screen is duff so she's swapped her SIM into a spare BlackBerry until it's repaired. Gues what? She can text me but my 4S is still trying to reply by iMessage and none of them are being resent/sent as text messages.
It's useless having a mobile phone that will effectively only communicate by voice and e-mail and no basic texting. It wouldn't be so bad if it actualy said the messages were failing.

Were you running os x 10.6 before the upgrade?
Anyway photoshop cs2 won't work on mountain lion because cs2 is a PowerPC application
and mountain lion can only run intel applications natively like photoshop cs3-cc.
If you were using 10.6, then you were using rossetta, an application that allowed some powerpc programs to run on an intel mac and mountain lion doesn't have rossetta.
The current versions of photoshop available from adobe are photoshop cs6 and photoshop cc, but since cs2 is out
of the upgrade loop now, so you need to either buy the full version of photoshop cs6 or subscribe to photoshop cc.

No puedo activar imessage y facetime en mountain lion

estimados, aluguna ayuda para activar imessage y facetime en mountain lion? he tratado de hacerlo y me aparece un codigo de activacion y que me contacte con soporte tecnico, el problema es que en chile no hay soporte y menos appstore

Hi,
Via Google translate
estimates, aluguna help activating iMessage and facetime in mountain lion? I have tried to do it and I get an activation code appears and I contact technical support, the problem is that there is no support in chile and less appstore
Sometimes the app will tell you to "Contact Support" and give some numbers for you to do so.
It should also provide a link button to access Support.
I take it that this is the part that is not working ?
A veces, la aplicación le dirá que "Contact Support" y dar algunos números para que lo haga.
También debe proporcionar un botón de enlace para acceder a la Asistencia.
Supongo que esta es la parte que no está funcionando?
Where is the closest place that is likely to have Apple Support in a language that is helpful to you ?
It may pay to ring there and ask them to help.
¿Dónde está el lugar más cercano que es probable que tenga soporte de Apple en un lenguaje que es útil para usted?
Puede pagar a sonar allí y pedirles que le ayuden.
If you are getting the "Contact Support" Error dialogue there is no other fix.
Si usted está consiguiendo el "Contact Support" diálogo de error que no hay otra solución

HT2357 So how does this work on Mountain Lion? I cannot seem to ignore the iTunes 11 updates, which now seem to appear every 5 minutes!!

Fantastic! Didn't work at first so restarted App store and tried again. This time it asked 'ignore update'. All gone!

Dashcode is not working in Mountain Lion. I tried updating to Xcode 4.4 and it still did not work . . .

Dashcode is not working in Mountain Lion. I tried updating to Xcode 4.4 and it still did not work . . .
I use dashcode for most of my coding needs, so it is very important to me!

I have the same problem too. dashcode shows up in the finder but its just a question mark (see screenshot). Anyone found a way to address this?
Thanks!

Will iPhoto '09 version 8.0.2 (402) work within Mountain Lion??

I have downloaded Mountain Lion but hasn't installed. Currently running on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Before I install mountain lion I wanna make sure the iPhoto version I have will still work, as I can't live without it? Not sure I want to pay another £10 for it from the App store, to be honest...
Thanks!
Chloe

iPhoto '09 works in Mountain Lion without any problem. However, you are running an outdated iPhoto version, so open  > Software Update, and install the most recent iPhoto '09 version before upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, make a backup of your data and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

Back to my mac screen sharing no longer works since Mountain Lion release, even on Lion

I've used screen sharing via iCloud and back to my mac between a 2007 macbook and a 2010 imac. Both computers are still on Lion but screen sharing stopped working when Mountain Lion was released. I've read a number of comments on this forum that people were having trouble since upgrading to Mountain Lion, but I don't think that's the problem b/c I haven't upgraded either machine. I think the problem is something Apple did in preparation for the Mountain Lion release date and it seems to have damaged screen sharing functionality. Anybody else experiencing this or have a fix for it.
As for the specifics, I can still see my "other" machine under shared and can click "share screen," it usually searches for a couple minutes, then pops up the password dialogue box, but then searches for a while and eventually the password box closes, "screen sharing" stays open, but there are no windows associated with it.

I have the same problem, just today (although I'm still running 10.6.8). Every morning I turn on my main Logic mac then fire up my 2 slave macs, connect to them, activate Screen Sharing, and get going.
This morning I tried it, connected to the other macs as usual (I can see/access/alter their hard drives from my main mac) but when I click "Share Screen" I just get the "connecting" dialog box & it just keeps going.
The weird thing is, when I put my laptop into the network via wifi, I can screenshare my main mac's screen (all 3 of them, actually!) but not my 2 slave macs that are ethernet'd to the main mac.
I've tried every solution I could find via google, and nothing is working.

Speak Sender Name Only AppleScript in Mail No Longer Working In Mountain Lion

Hi all, the title pretty much says it all.
I have a very simple AppleScript that I use as a rule in Apple Mail everytime new email comes in.
This AppleScript will speak only the sender's name. That's all I want it to say.
I there are two emails, it will say, "Mail From John Smith" followed closely by "Mail From Johnny Appletree", etc.
This works great in Lion as a Mail rule.
I have properly placed this AppleScript in the correct path for Mail scripts.
It's located in:
(user name)/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail
I've popped in the sample script provided by Apple into this same path that speaks the total number of selected emails, the name and the subject, etc. That works fine, so I'm positive the path is correct. But that script says a bunch of items I don't need. I just need a simple script and I'm guessing somehow the conversion from Lion to Mountain Lion doesn't work for some reason with this script.
Anyone know how to modify this supposedly simple script to make it work in Mountain Lion?
Any help is most appreciated, thanks!
Here is the script I had been using in Lion as a Mail rule without any issues before Mountain Lion:
on perform_mail_action(info)
-- see if iTunes is playing
          set itunes_playing to false
          tell application "System Events"
                    if (get name of every process) does not contain "iTunes" then
                              set itunes_playing to false
                    else
                              tell application "iTunes"
                                        if player state is playing then set itunes_playing to true
                              end tell
                    end if
          end tell
-- pause iTunes if needed
          if itunes_playing is true then tell application "iTunes" to pause
          tell application "Mail"
                    set the_messages to |SelectedMessages| of info
                    repeat with a_message in the_messages
                              set the_sender to extract name from sender of a_message
                              if (junk mail status of a_message) is not true then
                                        say "Mail from " & the_sender
                              end if
                    end repeat
          end tell
-- resume iTunes if it was playing before
          if itunes_playing is true then tell application "iTunes" to play
end perform_mail_action

Hi,
This script should work, try it :
using terms from application "Mail"
      on perform mail action with messages theselectedMessages
            tell application "iTunes" -- this doesn launch Tunes if iTunes is not running
                  set itunes_playing to running and player state is playing -- see if iTunes is playing
                  if itunes_playing then pause -- pause iTunes if needed
            end tell
            tell application "Mail"
                  repeat with a_message in theselectedMessages

                              tell me to say "Mail from " & the_sender
                        end if
                  end repeat

Apple remote no longer works with mountain lion

The apple remote that was quite happily working with Lion no longer seems to be working with mountain lion.
I've checked with at least 3 other apple remotes I have and none of them seem to want to pair.
I've been able to pair them with another mac running Lion, but when going to the pair option under;
Preferences--> Security& Privacy --> General --> Advanced -> Pair
Pressing the menu and next for more than a minute gives me nothing on any of the remotes.
Anyone else having issues pairing with mountain lion?
*Note, each of the remotes quite happily will

I thought I had a problem pairing my aluminium Apple remote with EyeTV, but all turned out fine.
When I clicked Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> General --> Advanced --> Pair a message told to press the "Menu and Next" buttons until the remote paired with the computer. At first, I assumed this meant that I should press the two black buttons underneath the main, circular control, but nothing happened.
Then it struck me that the "Next" button might mean the right arrow on the main, circular control, so I held down this while holding the Menu button (the smaller button, below and to the left of the main, circular control), and the remote paired within a few seconds!
I don't have one of the older, white Apple remote controls to test this idea with, but something similar may also work with that remote.

I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion

I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
So here's what I done so far:
tried resetting PRAM - No success
Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
Tried booting from safe mode - no success
Tried the command line boot - no success.
Please someone help!

Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.

Pkg's made by PackageMaker from Xcode4.2 stopped working after Mountain Lion 10.8.1 upgrade!

We have some pkg's that used to install fine across Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion.
Those pkg's were made from PackageMaker that came with Xcode4.2.
Since last week's Mountain Lion 10.8.1 upgrade, the pkg's preflight/postflight scripts stopped working
on Mountain Lion machines, but still work with Lion and Snow Leopard.
The current workaround we use is to produce the pkg using PackageMaker that comes from Xcode4.4 auxiliary tools.
These pkg's work fine on all mentioned OS X.
I think this should be either a bug in 10.8.1 upgrade or a change of policy.
Can someone reproduce and clarify?
Thanks!

You are not alone!!
Same problem with Plantronics.
I just bought their Audio 648 Stereo USB Headset and have exactly the same issue you mention at the outset:
Essentially, while my [Plantronics Audio 648] Headset is recognized in the list of devices in System Preferences > Sound, it doesn't do anything in terms of outputting or inputting audio
So Apple, what are you going to do?...
A lot of third party accessory manufacturers must be getting quite frustrated at the numer of complaints they get from Mac users, when it seems its the Mac OS which is to blame...

Can't get Apache mod_jk To Work In Mountain Lion

Hi,
I'm trying to get Apache and Tomcat to communicate via mod_jk. I have had this working fine in the past on servers running 10.4 through 10.6.
Now whenever I try to load the mod_jk module with 'JKMount /appname/* ajp13' in my virtual hosts file Apache barfs at startup with the unhelpful message...
[Fri Jan 18 11:00:28 2013] [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.22 OpenSSL/0.9.8r configured -- resuming normal operations
[Fri Jan 18 11:00:32 2013] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
Everything else in my config is taken directly from a setup that works under Snow Leopard and I have (after much pain and grief) compiled and installed the latest version of mod_jk under Mountain Lion.
Has anyone got mod_jk working under Mountain Lion? Is there a better forum for this question...
cheers

OK, it seems that mod_jk isn't getting loaded by Apache and I can't figure out why. No error messages or anything?

Why does snaps pro not work with mountain lion?

I spent a lot money purchasing the pro addition only to be told that it won't work with mountain lion due to Apple's written something into the code that does not permit me to make videos with it. I even tried ot make a video of Indesign acting up so i could send it to Adobe support and it wouldn't allow me to. Is this the resaon it suddenly doesn't work anymore? Are there plans to fix mountian lion to allow me to use my software? Alternatively,, does Apple have something that does screen captures of videos?

this is the repsonse form Ambrosia: (Not sure I understand it)
As far as Snapz Pro X 2 functionality, some major backend Digital Rights Management changes enacted by Apple may be what is preventing you from recording movies you were previously able to record using our software. Basically, our program can no longer access videos before the DRM protections are enabled, unfortunately we have no control over these changes. Please see the following FAQ:http://www.ambrosiasw.com/support/faqs/products/snapz-pro-x /Why-does-the-content-of-my-capture-display-as-a-checkerboard
BTW I am current on the latgest version.
Does anybody know how to work around my problem? I need to be able to record videos on my computer.

Remote desktop not working on mountain lion

My ARD does not work on Mountain Lion. The software opens but all I get is the menu at the top, and my only working option is to quit. I spoke to Apple support and they suggest (as they usually do) to reinstall the whole operating system, but I can't accept this as a valid answer as everything else works. There must be a way to fix this without having to reinstall a machine that came originally with Mountain Lion!

I was able to fix my issue by just uninstalling ARD (I used AppZapper) - and just reinstalling it - no "Archive & Install" required - best of luck with your situation!
