Messages on MacBook Pro after iOS 8 update on iPhone not working

So, all my Apple products and services have been working smoothly until I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Oddly enough, after that my Messages app on my mac stopped working. I logged out, and TRIED to log back in, but it says "Your Apple ID can't be used to set up iMessage at this time." and then it gives me a customer code. I rely heavily on this feature, and would love to use this feature when I finally get my hands on a 6, BUT how do I fix this?
Any solutions?

Hi,
If it looks like this:-
The only "Fix" is to call Apple Support.
You have to be clear is is an Account issue with logging into the iMessages account from the Mac.
Sometimes you have to ask to speak to the Level 2 person as the front line people are working to a Script and will tell you your Warranty has run out and you need to pay.
It is NOT and Hardware problem.
It is NOT a Software issue.
The Messages App just happens to be the one reporting it.

After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly. Is there a fix/test.

After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.
What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered". It happens even if i resend it over and over.
I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
I have tried rebooting all three devices.
The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
Is this a "feature" of the new OS?

Hi,
On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
The Restart the Mac Version
Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone is using.
Do same on iPad.

Sometimes you have to reset the SMC two or three times for it to work, don't know why. I've seen that error message before and 100% of the time it was fixed with an SMC reset. I suppose it's possible that your keyboard or mouse IS drawing too much power, do you have access to another you could try?

Apple TV 7.0.2 Airplay with MacBook PRO OS X 10.10.1 is not working.

Apple TV 7.0.2 Airplay with MacBook PRO OS X 10.10.1 is not working, I have validated all settings and rebooted all systems (per Apple recommendation) and still not working what seems to be the issue?

You need to upgrade your OS. It's your responsibility to verify if your equipment meets the system requirements, not the Apple Store.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.

HT4972 My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as the IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an update file and the apple site doesn't have one!

My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as these IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an IOS 5 software update file and the apple site doesn't seem have one anywhere!

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

My Macbook Pro (bought in 2013) function keys are not working

My Macbook Pro (bought in 2013) function keys are not working. The function keys ie the volume and brightness are not working at all both with one single tap and with the function button. I have checked the settings for the keyboard but nothing seems to stand out that is making the keys not work?
Please can you help?
Thanks
Kat

Some might suggest resetting the SMC, but I don't really think that will solve the problem. You can try, though.
I would suggest, since you're still under warranty, taking your machine to your local Apple Store/AASP and letting them fix the problem. It could be any sort of hardware problem. Only the Apple techs have the tools to properly diagnose and repair the machine.

Macbook Pro 17" - My built in speakers are not working.

Macbook Pro 17"
My built in speakers are not working.
The speaker logo is not highlighted (grey not Black) and when in sound options "output" pane only displays the digital out for 'optical' - ie, the internal speakers dont register (headphone socket works)
Any ideas?

1. If red light is visible in the headphone port, plug the headphone into and out of the port 5 or 6 times
     to flip the microswitch inside the port. Hopefully that will make the mode revert back to analog from digital.
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
3. Reset SMC.   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
     Choose the appropriate method.
Hope any one of these steps helps.

They keyboard lights up when it is booting up but when i try to sign in, nothing types or the mouse wont work. i am fine if the mouse doesnt work because i can use an external one but can someone please help me?!

Acrobat Quit Unexpectedly error message on MacBook Pro after purchasing and downloading. How do I get it to run??

I just purchased the Acrobat XI Pro Subscription online. After downloading the software and receiving the message that the installation was complete I tried to open the software to no avail. It starts to open with a "please wait while we launch Acrobat..." screen, then I get an error message "Acrobat Quit Unexpectedly" with options to Ignor, Report, or Reopen. I've sent the report, but no matter how many times I try the 'Reopen' or 'Ignore' options the software will not open. I'm running a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X version 10.7.5.
Any suggestions on how to get the software to work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ron,
Please try the steps below and let me know if it worked for you.
Delete all the files from following folders:
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
Then launch Acrobat and try to activate and check.
Regards,
Rave

Macbook Pro after attempt to update to Mavericks will not start-up - it will not go into recovery - reset SMC - reset NVRAM, still grey screen, logo and spinny thing

Updated my Macbook Pro with Snow leopard, then updated that to 10.6.8, then downloaded and began installing mavericks.
Mavericks apparently installed? I looked away and when I looked back my computer was off! It has not worked since.
I tried safe mode - where you could see progress and a repatitive error message scrolled (very fast) firever down the screen. Nothing seemed to be futher going to happen so I turned it off again. All other discussion forums I have followed say try time-machine back-up (I do not have it).
Really, I am wondering, what an earth is going on?

If there's any way to read that screen message it probably explains the problem.
You might try to boot into "verbose mode" to see if that makes it any easier to see the message.
