is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

Hey bishopcheen,
Great question! Apple has announced that these features are coming in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. For more information, check out the “Messages” section of this page:
Apple - OS X Yosemite - Apps
http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/
Messages gives you so many ways to start a conversation. When your iPhone is nearby, you can send a text message from your Mac to groups of friends, even if they use SMS. Or send a photo of your epic karaoke birthday party, then follow it up with a Soundbite audio clip of your encore performance. With Messages, it’s not just what you say, it’s however you want to say it.
Now every message on your iPhone appears on your Mac.
Messages on your Mac has always been a great way to stay in touch. But friends without iMessage couldn’t be part of the conversation. Well, now they can be. All the SMS and MMS messages you receive on your iPhone now appear on your Mac. So you can text any friend without picking up your iPhone. And the conversation stays up to date across all your devices.
iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are coming this fall. I hope you are as excited as I am!
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • Are there any apps for the macbook pro that will teach a 4 year old how to use a mac?

    I want to gove my old macbook to my daughter and get her started. does anyone know if there is an app that will walk a child through thir first mac experience and teach them how to operate it?

    This doesn't really answer your question, but children find tablets much easier to use than traditional computers. Even children much younger than your daughter are surprisingly adept with them, and they usually don't need to be taught.

  • Is time capsule the only wireless backup for a macbook pro that will work with Time Machine?

    I just got a macbook pro (mid 2012) and I was going to back it up, but the time capsule is very expensive so I was wondering if any other backups worked wirelessly with time me

    Any external hard drive can be used for a Time Machine backup, but for network backup I doubt you will find much if anything at a lesser price than a Time Capsule. Plus, the Time Capsule is also a network router.

  • Hi... I am looking for an inexpensive app for my macbook pro that I can put pictures and videos together into a slideshow with captions and music WITHOUT a watermark and that also will burn the slideshow to a DVD in its own app. Help?

    The issue with the A1400 is that like most economy compact cameras, they will not have very fast focus times in indoor lighting situations. Many people have gone to entry level DSLR's (Canon T3i) or micro 4/3 cameras. They are fairly expensive, but a late model refurbished T3i can sometimes be found with a kit lens for about $300.00. With Auto and scene modes, as well as full manual modes, these are very versatile cameras that focus very quickly, even in lower lighting situations. Canon is not really into the micro 4/3 cameras, instead they are focusing on the new G7x and G1x cameras, which are way out of your price range. The A720 is still available used at some places such as KEH camera, but you'll need to check often as their stock changes constantly. Obviously the DSLR's don't use AA batteries, but the T3i is good for about 600 photos (or more) per charge.
    My refurbished DSLR was practically brand new condition when I got it. I could not find any sign of wear at all, so I feel they are a real bargain. These are rugged cameras that are made to last. The A1400 is a $99.00 camera, so it's not intended for heavy usage, plus the image quality of a DSLR (even entry level) is far better than the A1400. That would be my recommendation.

  • Is there an App that will sync with microsoft outlook calender?

    Is there an App that will sync with microsoft outlook calender?

    OK here is a problem I have with my calender- all the events are added mutible times for each event- at least 4 of each. So how do I get all of these mutiable events down to just one event. Now this also includes hollidays and personel events  on the calender from outlook. All this I think happened after sync to Cloud- not sure, could have happened after OS 5 update!!! Now this is on my iPhone 4. Now going to my calender on my home computer in outlook no events or holidays are showing in the outlook my calender. If I go to the icloud calender it has mutiable events and holidays like on my iPhone. Now how do I fix this without causing a problem with my other programs?

  • Can anyone recommend a good messenger bag for a macbook air 13?

    Can anyone recommend a good messenger bag for a macbook air 13"?

    I agree with Shldr,
    I have a MBA 11" and a MBA 13", and use that one for my 13" Air, and the smaller version for my 11".
    I have spent at least $600 chasing down the perfect bag(s). There isn't one, AFAIK. The Incase bags are my favorite.
    I do prefer the older version of that bag though (a single velcro flap for the double compartment side). The new version holds a tad less. (I gave my new version to my MIL), and use the older one I have.

  • Is there anything I can do for my iPod Classic that got washed with a load of laundry?

    Is there anything I can do for an iPod Classic that got washed with a load of laundry? Sincerely appreciate any feedback

    John,
    Needless to say, one would expect water damage as a result of a washer to be extensive.  That doesn't necessarily mean you have no chance of repair however.  I've seen and heard of a couple of do-it-yourself fixes and, if none of those help, you can always try sending it for repair.
    At home, I recommend trying...
    Leave the iPod in a bowl of uncooked (raw) rice.  Supposedly, the rice often absorbs the moisture in the surrounding area and, sometimes, from an electronic part.  Leave it for at least 24-48 hours.
    Leave the iPod in the sunlight for several hours.  When doing this, make certain to avoid direct sunlight as it may damage the unit.
    If all else fails, consider contacting a repair center.  Local is better but, if you have to ship it, contact them and explain your situation before you invest in shipping costs.

    Is there a quad core cpu for my macbook 13in pro early 2011 with the socket P8400?
    The duel core is not doing the work i need done....

    You cannot upgrade the CPU on a notebook. They are integrated onto the motherboard. Sell the one you have then purchase a new one with the quad-core CPU.

  • HT4583 is there a good safe app for storing all my account passwords?

    I'm looking for a good safe app for storing all my account passwords. Any suggestions?

    Keychain is built into iOS and is a good option: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5813
    I'm using LastPass because it supports more platforms but also because it was available before Keychain on iOS devices and I'm used to it. May switch at some point.

  • I was gifted an album for my birthday. It wont sync with my iPhone

    I was gifted an album for my birthday by my husband, but it wont sync with my iPhone. Is there something I'm missing??

    Have you downloaded the Album successfully into your iTunes library?
    If so, there is no new magic trick and the Songs should sync - it is often worthwhile restarting computer and phone from power off state - signing out and back into iTunes Store - this tends to cure most small glitches.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • Are there ANY memos/notes apps that will sync with Mac, NOT "cloud"?

    In desperation I got BlueMarbleSOftware.com's "Memos" app to move memos from my now defunct Palm to my iPhone. I then discover that "Memos" can't create a new category on the iPhone. Grr. It also uses a Google Files account to move them. I keep sensitive information in my memos and I'm NOT going to put that out in the "Cloud". So, this isn't working out well.
    My question:
    Is there ANY iPhone/OS X application pair out there that will allow me to sync my notes/memos to my Mac and not to the Cloud? iTunes is a pretty poor sync mechanism since it can only allow me access to iTunes type stuff. iCal, while not very good, at least syncs with the calendar on the iPhone and contacts also sync with OSX. However, nothing that I can find will sync notes with the Mac directly. Has anyone out there found something that will? I'm happy to pay for it if it DOESN'T go through the "Cloud".
    I love my iPhone's capabilities, but Apple's restrictions on its use are dimming my enthusiasm a bit about the iPhone being a killer "do everything" box.
    Thanks,

    This sounds ideal - My read of it wasn't perfectly clear - Does it sync through the USB cable that the Apple sync uses or though a wireless connection? How good is the Mark/Space notes app? Apple's notes doesn't allow grouping by category, everything goes into one place, is the M/S notes app better than that?
    Thanks! This is looking perfect!
