Is the new "messages" app working for your networked home 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,
O
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

How do I stop texts from coming to the new Messages app on my macbook?
I was on my computer and wanted to try out the new Messages app so I opened it up, and wrote a message to my g/f and one to my friend. Now everytime they text me I get notifications on my macbook pro. I have clicked the X next to their name on the Messages app to delete the conversation from Messages but whenever they text me I still get pop ups on my macbook.
I do know how to turn of notifications for the messages app completely but I don't want to do that.Hi,
You could just disable the Account as has been said (Untick the "Enable this Account" box)
You can remove the Apple ID
GO to the Preferences > Accounts and the iMessages account
Use the Account Detail Button
Use the Sign Out button (Removes ID)
Either or these will stop Messages logging in to the iMessages server and trying to Sync iMessages sent to your Apple ID.

TS2755 What if my mac didn't install the new "Messages" app when I updated the software?
I got the new software update and all my friends got the new messages app so they can text from their computers but mine didn't get that. How can I get the app?
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

How is the New Forum Structure Working for You?
Just wanted to ask how the breakout of CS5 and then other PrPro/Pr versions is working for you.
Though not all that warm to the idea, I have to say that it seems to be working nicely. I have seen few posts in the wrong spots, though some might be better suited for Hardware.
My fears have NOT been realized, so I am glad that the powers that be never consulted me, as I would probably have turned thumbs down. Early observations indicate that I would have been wrong.
What do you think?
Hunt
PS - remember, "points" are at stake here folk!Well, since I was one of those who asked that CS5 be in a separate section, I like the fact that it now IS by itself
As far as posts in the wrong place... that will always happen and all we can do is continue to point people in the right direction

Can't get iTunes to install. When I download it, and go through installation, I get the message, Error 2, windows 2; can't find Apple Application Support, uninstall and reinstall iTunes. When I do that I get the same message again. Thank you for your assistance.
Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
Can the iPhone Finder app work for an iPad if I didn't enable 3G
I have an iPad that has 3G, although I didn't activate it. I did, however, install and activate the iPhone finder on it.
My question: Now that I left in in a seat-back on a plane, can I send a "message" to it, even though the 3G isn't active?
Thanks!
SteveEven worse, chances are it was in airplane mode, so there's truly no way to locate it. That really, really *****... It does make sense, but it *****.
And, Apple won't track if somebody else re-registers that serial number. I don't understand why not. The only way it'll get caught is if somebody brings it in for repair. It should be a simple task to alert the owner of a serial number if somebody else registers that same serial number... I've filed a police report with the Sacramento County Sheriff, but don't think that'll really help out.
So to the person who cleaned that plane that took it without turning it in, or the person on the next flight who found it and didn't turn it in, I CURSE you with hardware problems on all your electronic devices for the rest of your life...
Boy, do I feel better now!
Everybody have a SAFE and HAPPY New Year!!! -
The Sync could not complete because your network home at "(null)" does not allow writing.
Please let me know what information you require to prooerly troubleshoot this.
PLEASE HELP ME FIX IT.jwmartin83 - Ok...I set it up to this:
All of my users' home directories (mobile or local) were stored under the Server's HD/Users folder.
Accounts/Users - Edit - Full Path is /Network/Servers/myserver/Volumes/Server HD/Users/chris.
For my mobile account, my home URL is now afp://myserver/Users/chris
And the users home folder share point.
Rebooted the server and computer.
This is the ERROR now saying "...connecting to the server..server may not exist." -

I want to know if there's any way to receive incoming Google Talk messages in the iPhone Messages app? What I mean by this is the app your receive text messages in. The reason I ask is because in the new "Messages" app for the Mac, you can include your Google Talk account.
If I recall correctly, it's possible to send a Google Talk message out as an SMS (though there are apparently limits on how many in a given time period in order to prevent spam). That would be the only way as far as I know. Messages on the Mac seems to have folded some of iChat's features into it, so it works a bit differently.
Best of luck. -
Messages getting reordered in the Verizon Messaging app
My text messages are getting reordered within the Verizon Messages app. For example, I'll send a text message, and someone will reply, which will display correctly. Then when I send another text, the other person's reply will get moved above my original text. It seems to happen if the texts occur within the same minute.
Jayohdee, Did deleting the old conversations work for you? This just started happening to me in Verizon Messaging as well, and I noticed that the date of my sent messages AND received messages was off, like yday was the 25th of Dec. My messages back to everyone says 12/12/2014... instead of 13/25/2014... I checked my phone's clock and date and it is all correct, but what you explained above is still happening to my messages.
Thanks so much.

That's odd jway502, let's look into it. Are you not receiving them on the iPhone and tablet, or just on your Messages website? Did you check the native messages app? Do you receive them there? Is it iPhone to iPhone?

New Messages sound quits after several messages have arrived. I've tried several passes at resolving but nothing I have done seems to work. Sometimes I have to reboot the imac several times to get the New Messages Sounds back. Everything else works. The only thing I haven't done is reinstall the OS and that seems foolhardy.
Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

I install at the new update cc2014 but for some reason in my computer appear double app the old one and the new but the new dose not gave the setup that I have in my old version! What happen ?
Seriously, I doubt that your answer helped Erik. He has two issues.
He installed the new program and has a double icon folders with software. One for the new & one for the old. (I have this same problem.)
He must have attempted to open one of the products and no longer see his personal settings transferred over. (The install will ask to have those settings migrating, but you have to accept it. eh, I could be wrong; but, that what i remembered doing.
I concur with his first.
However, i can not get any of my products to work. Ie. have to constantly click on icon to open; once open i get a unexpected error and have to close. I'm on a mac pro w/ latest os system.
In addition, I have tried to uninstall the older by clicking on the application's manager icon.; Unfortunately, it shuts down at each attempt. Therefore, I am unable to un-install the old product or the new.
Possibly, we were hoping that the new product would be simply updated if an old recent was already installed.
Instead, the installation simply created a new icon and the new folder with product.
