Messages (Mountain Lion)
Need help with Messages. Some phone numbers appear as "not registered with IMessage" (although I can text these numbers from my IPhone). Also, I cannot change my status (icon top bar). It is always offline; cannot switch to available or other options. Thanks
You have two options here.
One:
Wait for iOS 6 which, par the WWDC2012, is supposed to intigrate your cellphone number with iMessages.
Two:
Have your friend add your apple id that you are using with your computer to the contact card they have for you.
Have them add the email address that you have tied to iMessages to your home or work email in Contacts.app on their phone in your contacts card.
Have the delete the two messages that you are having with them and then message them.
now when they text you they will be texting either your phone number or your email address, and they should all be in one chat.
This goes the same with facebook, gchat and aim. Adding those accounts to a person's contact card in Contacts will make it so any conversation you have with them will remain in one chat.
in other words, you friend needs to add your apple id that you are using with iMessages on Messages and delete the previous messages they have open, to have one unified synced imessages expereince.
i hope this helped.

have lion 10.7.4 up graded from tiger 10.5.8. tried to download mountain lion but received a message that mountain lion is not compatible with my computer. anyone have this problem or suggestion?
It's actually not the chip... it's the drivers for the video card. this is what my friend who does IT work said.
"The drivers for your Mac's video card are not 64bit compatible even though the computer itself is. Mountain Lion has done away with all 32bit OS components so it only runs on full 64bit MAcs now"
So even though I updated my video card to a newer version and my computer itself is 64bit... apple didn't create a driver for it that was 64 bit. My hardware is fine for this update and the chip can handle it. It can handle all my 64 bit programs just fine. It's apple forcing me to update and buy a new expensive computer. So much for long lasting computer... they last long but they won't be supported very long.
Why not release a version of mountain lion that supports 32 bit graphics alongside the 64 bit? Wasn't that what grand central was going to accomplish? This is rubbish. -

HT204053 Can't verify AppleID for Messages (Mountain Lion app) because it's not a real email.
My AppleID (an @mac.com address) is listed as a primary email address under my AppleID Account page, but does not receive email, of course. When I check it in the AppleID account page, there is no way to decouple it so Apple stops seeing it as a bonafide "email" address and asking to verify
When setting up Messages for the first time with the new OSX Mountain release, it asks to verify the AppleID, but gets caught in a loop since there is no real "email" to check at that address.
The error message received.mac addresses are email addresses, why can't you receive yours? have you been to www.icloud.com and tried to login with it? did you migrate the account from Mobile Me to iCloud?

Problem with Messages (Mountain Lion)
Messages has proven to be very beneficial & convenient, however I'm experiencing one problem with the program... When I send a Message from my computer, it doesn't show up on the recipients' phone as part of our continuing, preexisting conversation. Though it shows up on their phone as being from me, it starts a new conversation thread. How can I ensure uniformity so that the recipient doesn't have two separate conversations on their iPhone with me (one from my iMac & one from my iPhone)?
Thank You,
GlennYou have two options here.

My current OS is 10.7.4, does anyone have any imput on this issue has this been seen by anyone else?
Any help would be apreciated.Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)

I'm guessing that you have a Mac Pro 1,1 or 2,1 model from 2006/7. They cannot run Mountain Lion. -
Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion?
I have a Black Macbook (October 2008, so coming up for 4 years old). It has 4G RAM and loads of available disk space. Currently running latest Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I want to upgrade OSX but I get the message "Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer". This is a good machine and I have kept it up to date so what do I need to do to get it to ML so that I can use iCloud? I used to have MobileMe but of course it's now defunct. Thanks.
Even though you have a "late" 2008 macbook it was probably manufactured some time before and therefore will not run ML. However it should run Lion which will give you access to iCloud. You will need to contact Apple Sales: 1-800-My-Apple to purchase. They will give you a link to download Lion.

Mountain Lion can't connect to account POP
Hi--I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on iMac (version mid-2011) and get the error message Mountain Lion can't connect to account POP. I've incoming/outgoing servers, ports, authentication, etc., and still receive this error message. Any suggestions? Thanks!
works just fine for me using hotmail over pop
so maybe your pop3 provider changed their settings or your firewall is blocking the ones they use -
After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple," This problem happened right after I installed Mountain Lion. I then downloaded Canon's upgraded software and drivers for the MX 870 and the problem was resolved. Now one month later, the problem has returned.

Solved problem with original Canon software. When I downloaded Canon software upgraded for OS X 10.8, I got all by Navigator Ex. Noticed that on Canon's site, the upgraded version is 3.1; my app was 2.1. Upgraded to 3.1 for Nav. Ex, and it works.
You should still use Image Capture IMHO. If it was my gear, that's what I would do. No need to worry about software upgrades. -
I want to permanently remove years old emails from my IMac Mountain Lion system. How can I do so by year rather than slowly removing one message at a time? Many thanks.
Another option is to create a smart mailbox that includes emails with date received before a desired date.
Then, select one message in the Smart Mailbox and cmd-A to select all. Then delete. -
is anyone else having trouble setting up messages with the new mountain lion software? I keep getting a notification that i cant sign in and it is saying, check network connection and try again, but i have full wifi bars, thanks, Justin
Install this to get X11 functionality back in 10.8

When I send a message on MESSAGES using my iPad2, they do not show up on my iPhone or my MacBook Mountain Lion messages. Did I miss a setting on any of the devices as I thought iCloud took care of syncing all of my devices
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.

Messages on Mountain Lion not working
The iMessage Beta worked fine on Lion (except for the delays, sometimes, but hey, it's a beta). After upgrading to Mountain Lion, however, I'm unable to authenticate, send and receive messages.
I've found that running a PRAM reset (pressing a combination of keys when booting) does fix the problem, but it only works temporarily (until the next boot).
I already tried removing all plist-files, doesn't work. Every fix I found (that is: PRAM reset and booting in Safe-mode) only works one "session" (until I reboot).
When trying to sign in, it hangs for about a minute, and then says it "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.". I already tried turning off my WiFi, and it still hangs and gives this timeout error (so regardless of wether it's actually supposed to try to sign in).
My console shows the following errors:
When delivery fails (that is always, unless I booted in Safe-mode or performed a PRAM reset) and I get this red exclamation mark:
imagent: [Warning] FTMessageDelivery failed! Error (APSErrorDomain:1): Unable to send outgoing message to apsd: (ipc/send) invalid destination port (null)
This always shows up, about 20 times per actual iMessage I tried to send.
When signing in fails (that is always, unless I booted in Safe-mode or performed a PRAM reset)
imagent: [Warning] *** Listener ID: com.apple.dock.extra does not have capability: (Chats), not allowing request
Followed by a backtrace of the internal calls in imagent. However, this (both the backtrace and the warning above) do not always show up in my logs.
Based on the fact that it's working fine on my iPhone and iPad, and it's working fine too on the other Macs in the same WiFi network, I don't think it's a router firewall issue.
Based on the fact that I do not have any firewall (nor the built-in one) running, I don't think it's that it's a local firewall issue either. I already checked my hosts-file, nothing there (except for the default localhost routes).
Apple is working on better unified support in iOS 6, don't know if that solves my problem, but personally, I don't think that would really make sense (since it's definitely a local system issue).
I hope I provided you with enough information, but if you need more, don't hesitate to ask me .
I really hope you can point me to a permanent fix! Thanks in advance guys!Hi,
I would have opened Messages > Preferences > Accounts and deactivated the iMessages account (Untick the Enable this account)
Then Quit Messages.
The Restart Messages and then restart the Account.
A Re-install would do it but is an awfully big hammer to use.

After installing Mountain Lion, my printer doesn't work. I know it is connected as it shows up, The message is:
"The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the software for this printer or conact the anufacturer for assistance."
I used the disk that came with the printer as when I go to the HP site, it tells me that Apple has the drivers needed. I unistalled the printer and reistalled. Previously, I just went to the HP website an everything worked fine for drivers, program, etc. I never had to use the CD that came with the printer. My printer is: HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one, it is wireless, but I even took the computer and plugged it into the printer to make sure that everything was connected. Can someone please help me to get this working,
Thank you,
