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.

Clean install of Mountain Lion not working and everything's gone!

Created bootable USB install of Mountain Lion to do clean install so I could give my laptop to my sister - erased partition via disk utility - only USB Mac OSX Install ESD shows up for startup disks and that doesn't work when I try to install from there! HELP!
There WAS a recovery disk but I erased that too. I think it's a complete blank computer and the USB drive has nothing to open it with... no clue why it's not working otherwise!

Thing is, that bootable copy isn't really a bootcable copy unless you created that via some non-Apple guides on the web. The one off Apple's site that tells you how to make a bootable USB stick doesn't actually put the install files on there. It just puts the necessary files to get it booted and up to the web to do a download of it.
This is the writeup you need to follow. http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/17/make-bootable-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion-usb-install -drive/
Of course, if your laptop came with ML already on it, you won't be able to download the installer because they'll make you pay for it no matter what. You'll need to get your hands on that .app file so you can extract the necessary .dmg file from it. The nice part is, it doesn't matter where that .app file comes from (Purchase ID wise), you just need one folder out of it and that's all. If you have a friend that upgraded to ML and has the ability to redownload the app from the store, you can get it that way.
Again, as long as your laptop came with ML preinstalled, this is legal to do. If it did not and it came with Lion, then you need to install Lion on it before you can legally give it away or sell it with the appropriate OS license on it.

Probably because this card "is not supported in FreeBSD," the building block for Mac OS X kernel...
The Serial ATAPI has to do with your Superdrive bus...
Not sure if the first issue is related to the second, or if both the network card is unsupported and the ATAPI device is connected improprerly...
I was just researching, I am no expert. But thanks for posting the log. Hope you get your computer working.

10.6.8 to mountain lion not working?

I have been using mac os x 10.5.8 and I decided that it was time for me to get the newest version. So the first thing i did was buy the 10.6.8 and downloaded it on my computer. I went on the app store to purchase the 10.8, but it said not compatible?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest Macs of each type that can run Mountain Lion:
iMac7,1
MacBook5,1
MacBookPro3,1
MacBookAir2,1
Macmini3,1
MacPro3,1
Xserve3,1
A computer incapable of running Mountain Lion which has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM can run Lion 10.7, which is available by phoning the online Apple Store and ordering a download code for it.

Have lion on 5 year old 20" mac desktop. tried to download and received a message mountain lion not compatible with this computer. anyone else have this problem?

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.

Does OS X Mountain Lion not include MPI (Message Passing Interface)?

Hi,
Does OS X Mountain Lion not include MPI (Message Passing Interface) as Lion did? I need that to compile CUDA 5.0 examples.
I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8 without any updates yet.

I take this statment from the link I posted
Note: Unlike most UNIX-based operating systems, OS X does not use a preallocated disk partition for the backing store. Instead, it uses all of the available space on the machine’s boot partition.
to basically mean it's limited only by the disk space.
There is also this:
Both OS X and iOS include a fully-integrated virtual memory system that you cannot turn off; it is always on. Both systems also provide up to 4 gigabytes of addressable space per 32-bit process. In addition, OS X provides approximately 18 exabytes of addressable space for 64-bit processes. Even for computers that have 4 or more gigabytes of RAM available, the system rarely dedicates this much RAM to a single process.
To give processes access to their entire 4 gigabyte or 18 exabyte address space, OS X uses the hard disk to hold data that is not currently in use. As memory gets full, sections of memory that are not being used are written to disk to make room for data that is needed now. The portion of the disk that stores the unused data is known as the backing store because it provides the backup storage for main memory.

Updated to Mountain Lion, not I only receive emails sporadically. Thoughts?

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 but my PC is not recognizing my CDRom and I cannot download the program. I tried copying the files on the program disc to my hard drive but get a message the installer will not work. I have the redemption code and serial numbers. Can I download the program online somewhere? If I download a trial version for instance will it allow me to enter my serial number and use it for the full program?

Mountain Lion Notes App missing (IT installed Lotus Notes over the top)

My IT department installed Lotus Notes and it installed over the top of the Mountain Lion Notes application and thus deleted it. I renamed the Lotus Notes application (originally just called Notes). How do I get the original OSX notes application back?

Ok, found the solution, download mountain lion from the app store once more, then use Pacifist to extract the notes appllication again.

Two attempts to send a message in Mountain Lion

Hi all. A question regarding messages in Mountain Lion. When I open up Messages and send a message to an imessage contact, it always takes two attempts to send the initial message. Any messages after that go instantly.
If I then send a message to a different imessage recipient once again it takes two attempts to send on the initial message.
Anyone having the same issues?

My Mac PRO (serial number <edited by host>) has installed OS X Lion 10.7.5. Can I update it to OS Mountain Lion to work Airplay with apple TV?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The serial number doesn't tell us anything. Open  > About this Mac > More Info, and tell us the first two lines of the window, where you should see MacBook Pro and a line below, which indicates the model you have:
That's what I see on my Mac. AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so if you see Early 2011 MacBook Pro or newer in that line, you can use AirPlay Mirroring. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
If you want to upgrade, make a backup of your files and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Then, open the Mac App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When the download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps. After upgrading, you will see the AirPlay icon on the menu bar.
If you don't want to upgrade, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot

Elements 13 crashes - Windows message - this program is not working correctly - windows will close it.

I bought Elements 13 4 days ago through Amazon - so far it has not run for more than 5 minutes before Windows closes it down with the message - this program is not working correctly, windows will close it. I know this is not unusual but has anyone got a solution - apart from returning it
with a very unfavourable review? I have tried all the suggested fixes on the Adobe help site with no result. Elements 10 runs OK on the same machine.
Alternatively, is there any possible way to get support from Adobe?

juliana
Do you have any version of Premiere Elements 13 or only Photoshop Elements 13 which comes with Elements Organizer 13?
Let us look at the following for Elements Organizer 13....
1. Deletion of disabling the Elements Organizer 13 setting file which is named psa.prf. In Windows 7, 8, o 8.1 64 bit, it is found in the
path
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Elements Organizer
13.0
Organizer
and in the Organizer Folder is the psa.prf file that you delete or disable by renaming it from psa.prf to psa.prfOLD.
2. If the above gains you successful entry into the Elements Organizer 13, then you can
a. create a new catalog
and/or
b. repair or optimize the current one
See Elements Organizer 13/File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager.
3. There are times that certain formats will bring the Elements Organizer down when you try to import those formats into
it. But, from what you wrote, your current problems do not sound media related.
3. At your earliest opportunity, please update Elements Organizer 13 to 13.1 using its Help Menu/Updates.
Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

EHP4 installation using EHPI : Error message: DDIC password does not work:

Dear All,
We are upgrating enhancement packages 4 using EHPI in 64 bit server. I am facing this error in Extraction phase , I have to provide DDIC / SAPServiceSID/ DB specific , next says ddic password is not correct. But when i tried to login with the same password into 000 client, it works. But when through EHPI , it throws error. Kidnly check the error and please suggest me ... Thanks in advance..

Dear Rajeev,
DDIC pwd for 001 is not same as 001,Will that be a problem ? But the Extraction requests for DDIC 000 client password. Are you sure UME comes into this scenario ?
@ Raghu - I have checked the link and it speaks about the resetting the EHPI. I dont want to reset and want to solve ddic password error.
Sorry if am wrong
@ Gerard,
Yes the hostname is SAPRBSBD-01.I am able telnet the IP 3300 and it works fine. FQDN SAPRBSBD-01.chen.local. The smicm service entries are with SAPRBSBD-01 but not with FQDN. Changing it to FQDN will help us to resolve the issue. Please suggest me.
Also the error refers to some RFC connection, any idea on that.
Thanks to all and looking for your valuable suggestions.
Raj
