Messages app doesnt update facebook messages

Hi!
I have recently linked the "Messages" app with my facebook. But I have noticed that when I talk with someone on facebook when I am not logged into Messages (ie. when I'm out and on my iPhone or when I just chat with them on the facebook website) my chats do not update when i log back into Messages
For example, say i have a conversation with someone on Messages. I then log out and turn off my Mac. Then i continue talking to them on facebook. When i log back into Messages, the part of the conversation we had on facebook can not be seen on Messages.
Is there anyway to update my conversations on Messages so that it shows my other messages.
Thank You.

Hi,
Short Answer. No.
Long answer.
Whilst the iMessages service run by Apple does do syncing between Apple IDs and linked iPhone Numbers this does not apply the Buddy Lists you may be running.
AIM  and Jabber chats will not sync.
There is no way to "recover" chats that have been sent, particularly if already read/Accepted/Delivered to another Login.
Facebook run a Jabber Sever that can be accessed from a Web Browser as well.
GoogleTalk is a Jabber server fro Google Mail  (you have to invoke "Talk" on your Google Settings.)
Sated another way.
Jabber and AIM Chats with Buddies (as opposed to Contacts via iMessages)  are made up of IMs that are delivered once.
If you are logged in in another app or a device and read the IM there (and subsequent ones to make a chat) then they have been delivered.
Facebook run a Jabber server.
Some Jabber app log in with different "Priorities"
Messages default is "0" (zero)
With Multiple Logins you can arrange the Priorities so the different devices can be left On but you ge the mesages where you are.
For example the Home Mac has the lowest priority.
The computer at work has something a little Higher.
A Jabber app on your iPhone  has something set higher again means you can read things on your iPhone when the app is launched but it  is not delivered to your work or Home Computer even if they are On.
In Messages Menu > Preferences > General Section is an item that reads " When application is quit, Set Status to Off line"
This means it will not be "woken" if it is not launched but the computer is On when someone sends an IM.
AIM can store Off Line IMs if you set it to do so.
Not All Jabber servers do Off Line IMs (They just don't store them) so you may not be able to get some iM messages anyway.

  • How do I send a link to a youtube video in text message? The youtube app doesnt provide URLs that I can copy & paste...

    My friend has a blackberry and sends links to youtube videos to me all the time, in text messages, that I can watch easily. I could not figure out how to send him links to youtube videos. The youtube app doesnt provide a URL I can copy and paste into the text message and going to youtube through web browser just defaults it back to the (URL-less) app.
    I cant be the first person totally stumped by this.
    Its either not possible or crazy simple and I just havent drank the apple kool-aid enough yet...

    to the right of the vol bar there is an icon which look like a box with an arror going out of if you click on that and choose mail link to this video you get what you want

  • Download error message - I can't view apps or updates.

    Try using Google's DNS instead of the one your IPS is providing.
    - To change on the iPod go to Settings>wifi and change the DNS to 8.8.8.8
    - For the computer see:
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    - Did anything happen to your router right before this started? Maybe the router is blocking the port used.

    Check that the apps are still available in the store

  • HT1338 App Store updates:  Repeated Error message saying I must sign in, though I already did.  , I click on update, Error message that I need to sign in to the same account I already signed in.

    App Store updates:  I sign in, my password is accepted, I click on update, and still get the error message that I need to sign in to the same account I already signed in at.  What do I have to do to get my app updates?

    Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
    1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
    Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
    2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
    3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
    4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
    5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
    Then repeat step 4.
    6. Select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
    7. Launch iTunes and select
    Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
    from the menu bar.
    8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.
    9. Contact Account and Billing Support on this page:

  • TS1368 Extremely frustrated with error message when trying to download apps and updates. HELP please!

    I have been trying to download a couple of apps and keep getting the message "cannot connect to iTunes." This is nonsense because I can access both the app store and iTunes directly. I've downloaded other items today with no problem. Now all of a sudden I'm getting this error whenever I try to download an app or update an existing one. And it doesn't help that that it practically takes an act of congress to access a human being to ask a simple question. I would very much appreciate any help I can get in resolving this issue. I have already tried rebooting my iPad and my software is up to date. Haven't tried it with my iPhone yet. Thanks.

    You can't use Safari to download iPad apps. Only use iTunes/App Store.

    I tried to delet it and download the app again still having trouble opining the facebook app on my ipad

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

    Updated Facebook via the apps store.  Now, icon is "grayed" & will not open, nor will it let me delete it, so I can re-download.  Has anyone had this problem?

    Do you have another disk or Mac connected that has Pages '09 from the Mac App Store installed? If so, the MAS will "see" it & will report it as installed. Unmount any & all drives, including Time Machine backups, that might have Pages '09 on them & then relaunch the MAS & see if you can download it.

    You can only use apps that require iOS 4.2.1 or earlier.
    You also can use “m.facebook.com” on Safari.

    Where did you get the device?  Is it possible that it has an IT policy on the device blocking Facebook and/or Facebook options?  Look in Options >Security Options >General Settings (actual menu paths vary with OS version) and see if there is any reference to IT policy.

  • TS1702 Updated Facebook app. And now I can not open it?????

    I updated Facebook and now it will not load

    I did the same thing. Very frustutating. Open FB through Safari, desktop version. Go to photos, click upload. It will tell you it's not supported etc but it will give you the option of adding the mobile FB app. I clicked on it just to see and it's the old version so it worked! I'm back in business with the old compatible app for 3G

    Click the button in the top left corner that has a bunch of bars across it.  This should pop out a side menu.  Locate the Apps section and tap More.  This should reveal Chat.
