Is "Messages" app working properly for your Nework users?

I'm seeing a very odd issue where the new 10.8 "Messages" app not acting properly for users with a networked home directory. If logging in on the server, the users' Message app works just fine. When logging on from a client mounting their home directory over the network, the Messages app can send messages fine, but does not receive messages. What is odd is that the app does get the signal that the person is responding to an outgoing message showing their avatar and "...", so something is being recieved, but no message ever shows up.
Anyone else seeing this on client systems?
Thanks,

I've got messages server running on Mountain Lion Server (fresh install) and both 10.7.4 and 10.8.0 clients are able to message each other, the 10.7.4 clients are network home users but I was forced to change the 10.8 user to a mobile home account because everytime they opened Mail all there contacts would get deleted.
Assuming your client are on 10.8 you have probably found another network home bug, consider switching to mobile homes until it is fixed

"Back to my Mac isn't working properly because your DNS server isn't responding. Contact your ISP for an alternate DNS server address, and enter it in Network Preferences".

Hi, i am trying to setup back to my mac at home but I get the error "Back to my Mac isn't working properly because your DNS server isn't responding. Contact your ISP for an alternate DNS server address, and enter it in Network Preferences".
There is no documentation on how to solve this anywhere.
I have an Arris router set to bridged mode which is connected to a 5th generation airport extreme. I have tried using the google dns servers instead of the one assigned by the cable company in the AE but I still get the same error.
Any help would be much appreciated

New to BTMM, I got stung today with the silly DNS problem message. Solution:
1) Flush DNS cache with:
dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
2)System preferences > iCloud > untick BTMM then tick it again. The warning should have disappeared.
Edit #1
Apologies for the noise. The warning has come back
Edit #2
Just found out that BTMM is not compatible with double NAT. That's not helpful.

With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:
You receive an "Error 1606" error message when you try to install or remove a Microsoft program

Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

Hi,
I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal. I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8. Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved. Here is the steps sent to me
Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
(should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
1. Click on Applications
2. Click on Utilities
3. Click on Terminal
4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

Does Apple Messages app work on OSX 10.7 Lion ?

Does Apple Messages app work on OSX Lion ?
I can't see it and i can't see how to install it ?
Thanks,

Messages was released as a beta on 10.7, however when it was released as a full version Apple dropped support for 10.7 & made it require 10.8 & higher

You cannot run it on 10.7, sorry.

Acrobat XI does not open - licensed copy - has been working properly for several months

acrobat XI does not open - licensed copy - has been working properly for several months. i never did have any problems before this. was acrobat 10 with acrobat XI upgrade in November 2013 so 6-7 months of trouble free use

I too have the same problem working property until about January or February this year...get "bad parameter' message trying to open files and then when I did the upgrade this a.m. it will not open at all, just spins and then disappears. I had this problem about a week ago and our IT man thought he had it resolved, even then kept getting 'bad parameter' and then this a.m. right back to not opening at all. I have Windows 7 Professional v6.1 and am wondering if it's a compatibility issue? Will I continue to have these issued until I install Windows 8?

Any suggestions for how to get my logic keyboard working properly for FCE?

Any suggestions how to get my logic keyboard working properly for FCE? I can't use some of the shortcuts - insert, overwrite etc. maybe the system settings aren't correct?

This normally happens when debris builds between the trackball and the rollers on the inside of the mouse.
Turn the mouse upside down and rub the trackball vigorously on a sheet of paper or microfiber cloth to try and free it up.

I uninstalled Java get this messag - Missing JAVA? For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version.

I am using Windows 7 premium 64-bit. I have uninstalled Java completely through Windows program manager. There is no Java in my list of plugins. Every time I update my plugins I get the following message - "Missing JAVA? For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version." I cannot find Java anywhere on my computer. Checked every troubleshooting website I can find but there seems to be no solution.

hello, is this happening on the plugin-check page - https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ ?
if so, you can probably safely dismiss this warning since it's likely a mistake. when java isn't present, the site will give that warning message though a webpage cannot detect if this because of java being blocked or if it isn't even installed on the system.

In AppStore.app for some reason when I try to update my apps, it asks for the wrong user account than the one that I am logged in with. This makes me unable to update my apps

You would have downloaded those apps with the wrong Apple ID then created a new Apple ID which is the on you are on now. This is acting as normal because all content downloaded from the iTunes and App Store is attached to the Apple ID it was downloaded with. To stop this you would delete the apps and redownload them with your current Apple ID you are signed in with.
