Is there a way I can get send iMessages from my Macbook Pro?

I just got My first Macbook Pro and am still trying to figure out how to use it.  I have seen that m friend can send and recieve his text messages on his Macbook Pro and I cant figure out how to get that. When I tried using messages it send it from my email not my phone number.

First you need to determine what laptop model you have; then we can help you. A Mac Book Pro cannot run OS 9.1.
With your Mac booted up, click on the  at the far left of the menu. Then click on About This Mac. It will show what version of OS  you are running. What is the version?
A MBP will be running something like version 10.x.
If you are running version OS 9.x, you don't have a Mac Book Pro.
 Cheers, Tom

  • My itunes was deleted off of my computer. Is there any way I can get my music from my Ipod back onto my computer?

    Most of my music is from CDs that I don't have anymore. I've got over a thousand songs and most of them were deleted when my computer crashed. Is there any way I can get my music from my ipod back onto my computer? Any sort of program you can buy? Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

    If you were not syncing the contacts in your phone with a contact manager or cloud service, there is no way to get them from the car to the phone other than manually re-entering them in the phone.

    You have to have enabled Find My iPhone on your phone before it was lost in order for it to be located.  If you did, you could play a loud two minute sound on it even if it was on slient, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f19b5.

  • HT1329 Is there any way I can get the music from my iPod to my new laptop?

    So recently my computer broke, taking all of my music with it, and now I only have the music on my iPod. Is there any way I can take the music from my iPod and put it on my new laptop?

    You can't transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to your new computer's iTunes library.

  • How do I get my iMessages from my macbook pro onto my iPhone 5?

    What is the FB icon for?/ What does it do?  and by on your "main display" do you mean you want it on your desktop?

  • I have lost my ipod touch is there any way i can get it deactivated from using wi-fi?

    I have lost/had stolen my ipod touch,i believe i no who has it but have no proof to report this to the police, is there any way i can de-activate it through Apple to prevent it from being used by anyone else to upload itunes or use wi fi? This may sound like a stupid question but it is very frustrating knowing who may be benefiting from my I-pod thank  you

    No.  There is not way to preveent anyone from restoreng the iPod and using it themselves or selling it.  Apple will not help at all.
    You should still report it to the police incase someone finds it and turns it in. Also change the passswords for all accouts used on the iPod.

  • Can't send iMessages on my Macbook Pro using my phone #

    So last night I got a new iPhone and some stuff changed. I used to be able to send iMessages from my phone number to friends. Now a friend tells me when I send an iMessage from my computer she says it says it's coming from my email address instead.
    I went into accounts and entered in my AppleID but it now doesn't have a phone number connected, nor is there a place to even put it in. I tried Managing My Accounts online and that all looks fine, with my cell phone number appearing there just fine...
    Thoughts? Thanks
    EDIT: Update... I'm seeing a problem right away, and it's so frustrating because I've run into this in the past.
    I have two Apple IDs basically. We'll say one is AppleID1 and the other is AppleID2
    AppleID1 is signed in on my laptop. It's what I've been using for 2+ years, so EVERYTHING is stored here.
    AppleID2 is the one I've used on my cell phone. It's fairly new.
    I DO NOT need two, but at one point I'd come far enough with each that it was easier to keep both, but now I want to merge the two. Can anybody help with that?

  • Getting 2650x1600 output from my MacBook Pro?

    I've got a brand-new MacBook Pro 15-incher with the nVidia GT 330m card. I've also got a brand-new 30-inch HP ZR30w monitor with *native res. of 2560x1600*. My problem is that when I hook up the MacBook Pro to the monitor's DVI input, I can only get *1280x800 max resolution!* I have tried downloading SwitchResX, but it too only lists a 1280x800 max resolution for the ZR30w.
    The monitor dutifully operates at 2560x1600 when hooked up to my PC, so I know it can do the job. I also can get 1080p output from the MacBook Pro on my TV.
    So, how to I get the MacBook Pro to do what I bought it for? Very frustrating to be stuck at such a low resolution. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

    I have a Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP 30" and I'm thinking about getting a Macbook Pro and this was on my mind since Ive read the specs on nVidia GT 330m card on the new Macbook Pro i3/5/7 series. So this is great to hear, what a relief plus this will be my first Mac so I don't know what to expect. I hear they will be new Macbook Pro's 1Q of 2011 with Facetime etc...can anyone confirm that? I'm on the fence right now if to get one or wait. I'm assuming the new Macbook Air would do the same since it has the same Video Card.
    The new Dell UltraSharp U3011 30" has a display port for connectivity and wondering if one can juss connect to a Macbook Pro directly...mini display port / display port same thing?
    @ArthurPJohnson ... once you go 2560 x 1600 there's no way one can ever go back to a lesser resolution LoL!

    when do IOS5 come out? My headphones broke so is there a way i can get yall to send me new ones. mine just stopped working.

    Ios 5 comes out Wednesday.
    We are iphone users just like you.  We can send you nothing.
    The headphones are covered by the same warranty as the iphone.  You could contact Apple and get them replaced, if they are defective.
