Messages on iMac dont seem to be communicating with iMessanger on other devices

I just upgraded from SL to Mountain Lion and am trying to figure out how messenger works. I set it up with my apple ID and have it set to both my phone number and my email address, but the message on my imac are not showing up on my iphone. Followed the help instructions to make sure it was set up correctly but the two don't seem to be in sync?

Problem solved. Somehow when I updated my iphone to iOS6, my iMessenger got turned off. I havent touched those settings at all. Anyways, switched back on and working fine now.

  • I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

    I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I  am using windows 7 professional install disc. I  can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

    There is a huge difference between sending email and sending messages.
    Yes, I believe you when you say you can only send messages to other Apple products.  The iPad is not a telephone, and therefore, it cannot text message.  It can only iMessage, which means it can send and receive messages to/from other Apple products if they are on WiFi or an iMessage capable cellular network.
    Email, however, is a whole different category.  I don't really think you can only exchange email with other Apple products only.  Make sure you have correctly identified the symptoms.

  • Error message saying "unable to establish two-way communication with device"

    I have an HP C309a printer/scanner/fax. I have recently reconfigured it to work wirelessly instead of via the USB cable, which it does. But if I try to go on to  the HP Solution Centre/Settings/Printer Toobox to clean the printheads, it tells me that this cannot be done because "the computer cannot establish two-way  communication with the device".
    If I plug the USB cable back in, I can clean the printheads fine.
    Does anyone have a way of allowing me to clean the printheads without using the USB cable?
    roger

    Hi rogercorke,
    I believe you can also clean the printhead from the printer control screen. Press the Wrench button from the printer Home screen and then press Tools>Clean Printhead.
    If you need to use this feature wirelessly, try running the HP network diagnostic utility on your wireless setup and see what it says: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&jumpid=ex_r4155/en/hho/ipg/foru...

  • Mail w/ Gmail showing "important" messages in inbox as unread even when deleted and read on other devices

    This is a werid one but hoping somehere here can help or at the very least someone from Apple is listening.
    I'm using several Gmail accounts across all of my macs and iPhone / iPad.  To be specific:
    13" MacBook Air - Mid 2011
    13" MacBook Pro - Mid 2012
    27" iMac - Mid 2012
    iPhone 5s
    iPad Mini
    (All Macs are running 10.9 with the latest build of Mac Mail 7 (1822).  All software updates are performed on all machines.  Both iDevices are iOS7 latest versions.)
    All of my emails (5 gmail accounts and 2 exchange accounts) but one (a Gmail account) work just fine across all devices.  I have one Gmail account that acts weird, but only on one mac (iMac 27").  Here is the issue:
    On this account, all devices EXCEPT the iMac, when I read a message it shows up as read on all other devices.  When I delete a message it deletes from all other devices (but is still accessable from All Mail folder).  However on the iMac, it never shows up as read (still shows the blue dot next to it and still shows a number next to the mailbox name).  If I delete a message on another device, someimtes on the iMac is remains in the inbox, sometimes it deletes.
    Some further info that might help / things I have tried:
    I tried Removing the acocunt and re-adding it to Mail.
    I have tried reindexing all mail per Apple's method.  This works, but as new mail comes in, and gets read on other devices, the problem returns.
    I have tried to "rebuild mailbox" about 20 times.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.  The problem always returns as above, after reading / deleting mail on other devices.
    Sometimes just rebooting Mail seems to catch some of the items deleted on other devices, but not mail that is read on other devices
    I also noticed that many of these mail itmes were labeled as "important" in GMail so I went in and switched Gmail out of the "important" mode and back to the classic.  Then I reindexed and rebuilt again just to be sure.  Now the mail is no longer labled Important, but the read counts are not correct and I'm still showing read mail as unread on this one device.
    I have also deeply compared mail on my iMac and my MBA.  All settings in preferences are the same.
    Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?  It's making it very hard to use my iMac for work and it's my primary machine.  I'm cringing at the alternatives (outlook is simply not an option for me)

    Read the blog post Mail in Mavericks Changes the Gmail Equation and see if there suggestions work for you.

  • If I put pictures on my IMac. Can photo stream send them to my other devices.

    If I put pictures on my iMac can photo stream send them to my other devices?

    Of course. However, note that you need iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 on your iMac, and that the other devices must be an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iCloud, another Mac with iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 and OS X 10.7.2 or later, or a PC with iCloud Control Panel.
    The first thing you have to do is to upload your photos to Photo Stream, but first you need to enable Photo Stream > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2710
    Then, to add photos to Photo Stream, open iPhoto and drag the photos you want to "iCloud" or "Photo Stream" in the iPhoto or Aperture sidebar. This will make that your photos appear on other devices, so just go to them and copy them to the internal memory, because Photo Stream deletes your photos after 30 days. If you have got an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can find your photos in the Photos application, and in a PC, you can find them in My Pictures folder.

  • I cannot seem to transfer music from ITunes to other devices?

    Is it not possible to transfer music from Itune's to other device's then Aplle products?

    Recent iTunes Store music purchases can be moved to non-Apple devices by locating the song files and following the instructions provided with the device; in some cases, the file needs to be converted to MP3 first. Very old music purchases can't be except to a handful of Motorola cellphones.

  • Error message on iweb, no communication with server

    I have three websites on my iweb and hosted by Go Daddy. The main site will not download, error message no communication with server yet other two work fine. I have been to Apple Genius and talked to Go Daddy three times and all is supposedly in order but still will not work. I am able to download on Cyberduck
    but using Iweb would be so much simpler. How can it work on two websites and not the third? Help!

    If the main site, with the URL - http://www.domain-name.com - is not downloading in the browser, it will be because the external index.html file is not present in the root folder on the server.
    The other sites will work because they have the folder-name in the URL ...
    http://www.domain.com/Folder-Name/
    ... where Folder-Name is the name of the site in iWeb.
    Its just a question of republishing the main site if you are using the iWeb FTP and use the settings shown on this page....
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
    If you can use an FTP application, publish the site to a local folder and upload the external index.html file only, to the root folder on the server.

  • I connected my iPod to my PC and got a message 'The software for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly.

    I connected my iPod to my PC and received a message box that read "The software for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall the iPod's software."  Not sure what I need to do.  I did uninstall all of my iTunes and related software components and then reinstalled the latest version of iTunes but that did not correct the problem and I now can't access my iTunes library at all.

    Another thing is that iPod Touch shows up fine...I've tried every other ipod from older 4gig Nanos to 120gb Classics and none of them work..this is really annoying!

  • Digital Fax to Folder Setup gives error message unable to establish 2-way communication with device

    Digital Fax to Folder Setup gives error message unable to establish 2-way communication  with device. I can s end a Fax and I can print documents. I can also, now, scan to computer. I have changed the phone line twice, restarted the router, restarted the computer, and made sure the front panel was lit when setting up the Digital Fax folder. I am on a Homegroup network, with both wireles and ethernet computers.  When I view the network, it sees both computers (wireless laptop and enthernet desktop), the printer, scanner, and router (VerizonDrive). I recently had to reinstall Windows 7, where Digital Fax to Folder Setup previously worked, and now it doesn't.  The network shows up as Network 3. When I try to view the network map, I get the error message that Windows cannot create the network map. Responses from other devices on the network are delayed or there is an  incompatible router on the network.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hello @JiffyFingers and Good Afternoon
    From what you have described, and from the work you did on another thread, I believe you'd get better assistance talking to either Microsoft or your router manufacturer. With not being able to create the network map, that's something a bit more intricate than digital fax setup
    You can have a look at this Windows cannot create the network map. Responses from other devices on the network are delayed or th... Microsoft thread as well, and you may be able to figure it out from there.
    Hope that helps, have a great day!

  • Apple Mail Rules dont apply when mail is READ on other devices!

    Hi,
    I use IMAP settings on Apple Mail (v4.5) and also check my emails on the iPhone (iPhone also set up with IMAP). However if i have read an email on the iPhone then when i switch my computer on the incoming Apple Mail Rule that applies to that sender does not seem to work. It keeps the mail within my Inbox and does not transfer the mail/message to the desired folder.
    However, if the same sender sends me an email which i do not read on the iPhone and then switch my Apple Mail ON, then the mail is automatically transferred to the desired folder.
    It looks like the problem is only with READ mail and not UNREAD mail. 
    Is there a fix for this? There seems to be a lot of people having the same issue and was wondering if there is any work around on this?
    Would really appreciate any help from anyone on this.
    Regards,
    Jay
    PS: I recently moved from Outlook 2011 on MAC to Apple Mail as i heard is a far superior mail application and works smoothly. So far everything about Apple Mail has been correct, it is a fantastic app, however this Rule problem is pretty basic and surprised that Apple still has not fixed this.

    Hi Glenn,
    Many thanks for this. Unfortunately i dont have this facility on the server as we are using a simple opensource mail delivery and storage service, so the rules would have to be set up on the computer.
    I was using Outlook 2011 and prior that was using Entourage 2008 and both worked well with the IMAP rules. Nothing was ommitted and everything READ or UNREAD was imported and the rules applied. It's only in Apple Mail that these rules dont seem to work.
    Is there no other work around? No Apple Mail Add-Ins? I see quite a number of people complaining about the same problem and i'm surprise that Apple has not found a solution for this.
    Anyway, thank you soo much for your reply. Much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jay

  • Software required for communicating with ipod is not installed correctly

  • Error Message while trying to burn a DVD-R with my MacBook Pro: "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

    While using my Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 to burn a DVD-R I keep getting the error message: "This disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
    So, I tried the iDVD and got the same error message.
    Can anyone out there help me? I've tried both a DVD - R, and a CD.
    I made a short 2:20 minute presentation from iMovie and used the "share" to iDVD, then to iTunes, then I tried exporting it to Quicktime and saved it on my desk top. That is when I tried burning by opening the blank DVD-R in the finder then draging the movie on to it and selecting the burn option. Thank you for your time in helping me with this frustrating problem.
    Peace, Pyxidis

    I have had that same problem, but it was unrelated to any upgrade.
    In my case the optical drive was simply failing, and I replaced it - it was a Powerbook, about eight years old.
    It is possible that it's unrelated to Lion, as unlikely as this may seem, since you've just upgraded.
    Optical drives seem to be the most life-limited component in these computers. The laser just seems to get weak with age.

  • Scanning Device not Communicating with the Computer

    Can anyone help? I go to launch my Hp Director software to scan a document and an error message appears that says "An error occurred communicating with the scanning device. Please ensure that the scanning device is connected properly and try again." This has happened before but I can't remember the steps performed on the Menu of the scanner. Does anyone know how to get the computer and Laserjet 2840 to communicate?
    Thanks
