Mountain Lion message transcripts.

The timeline of my message transcripts on my Mac Book keeps getting mixed up and does not match my iPhone transcript. Is there any way to reorder the transcript on my Mac Book?
Please note that it only happens when the Mac Book has been switched back on, and it is downloading multiple messages when resyncing.

Hi,
It was the case that in the Messages beta that if the Mac had been off then Syncing did take some while to catch up and that new iMessages would get mixed up with the syncing stuff if the same person was continuing an conversations started on your iPhone.
I have not yet had a conversation on my iPhone that i then continued on my Mac so I am not in a position to help a great deal.
I am not aware of anyway they can be re-ordered as the original messages are the ones that are time stamped and the sync one are not.

  • Mountain Lion Messages won't connect / go online

    For the last few days Mountain Lion Messages won't connect / go online. Prior to that it would disconnec at random and it would be difficult to make it connect again. But now it's totally refusing to go online.

    I solved the problem, with the help of a friend!
    Turns out, even though Messages in Mountain Lion won't prompt you about this in any way, there is a difference between your @mac.com email and your @me.com email.
    Messages on Mountain Lion has an iChat built in, but is actually at the same time a new protocol which does not use AIM like iChat. So, it's both AIM iChat and something new.
    As soon as I added a new account inside Messages on Mountain Lion with @me.com I could reconnect and all is fine.
    Apple, this is a lot less obvious to the end user than you might think. You have switched online services a few time and it always gets better and better. But Messages in Mountain Lion should prompt the user to add the @me.com address if this is required to use the software!

  • OSX Mountain Lion "Messages" will not let me sign in...

    I cannot for the life of me get messages to work on the new OSX mountain lion.  I keep getting this alert when trying to sign in:
    "COULD NOT SIGN INTO iMESSAGE. The server encountered an error processing registration.  Please try again later."
    Any ideas?  I have restarted both my macbook and macpro, reset my apple ID password... no love.

    I have spent over 40 hour walking through this issue with Apple senior tier engineering support with Apple for Mountain Lion and Developer support, plus the Apple store genius bar and their high level connection, Getting no where trying to resolve same issue it seems.  The only thing I can get to work is AIM to video chat or share screens.  Messages accounts have added 5 other account .mac accounts and I can not sign into any of them or remove any of them either.  Over time I have had a .mac address that was made into a mobile me address that was then converted into a .mac email again and became a cloud account. And I have a developer account that has a separate name that works with iTunes connect.  When I try to manage accounts to change the password of one it corrupts the the password of the other. When I try the change emails of one it says it is in use by the other.
    There are 2 accounts for the iTunes and App Store. 
    Messages is choking on my 2 accounts and there is a definite unresolved problem with the cloud in regard to them it seems.

  • Mountain lion messages cannot sign in

    Just updated my Mac Pro to Mountain Lion.  The messages app begins to walk me through setup, but when I try to log in using my apple ID, it says "Could not sign in.  Please check your network connection and try again."
    I have tried my apple ID, my me.com email address, AND my icloud.com address and I get the same message each time.  There is no network problem on this machine.  I connect to the internet and to the other devices on my home network just fine.

  • Odd behavior during full screen video chat with Mountain Lion Messages?

    I've recently upgraded to Mountain Lion on two MacBook Pros (from Lion) and have started to use the new Messages app. I've been using iChat for years and found it reliable for the most part.
    However, I've noticed a new behavior that seems like a bug in the new Messages app.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open Messages app
    2. Initiate a non-FaceTime video chat via the Buddy List or the main Messages window video button
    3. Once the video is started, click on the Full Screen button in the window title bar or in the black toolbar at the bottom of the video
    4. After the video has gone full screen, move the mouse cursor
    5. At this point, the video will slide over (like a Mission Control / Exposé space). The video chat is actually STILL running in full screen view as a dedicated space -- you can slide back with the trackpad or the keyboard as per normal Mission Control controls.
    Step 5 is NOT the correct behavior as per OS X 10.7 Lion. Not to mention, the black toolbar is unusable and it's hard to reach the menu bar Full Screen toggle button since moving the cursor even one pixel makes the screen slide over.
    Has anyone experienced this? If yes, is there a solution? How do we bring this to Apple's attention for a future fix?

    I got the machine to reboot but I had to hold down the power button. I found an article on macworld that said to use the command +control+eject buttons to restart but no go. Nothing.
    There really... REALLY ought to be some way to exit full screen in such a case.

  • Mountain lion messages problem

    Hi
    I have just set up my new imac, but I'm having problems with Messages.
    I've set up my account, but can't seem to connect to people I was in regular contact with in ichat on the old system.
    My status shows as online in the application menu (Messages > My status), but offline in the menubar
    There also seems to be no way of making custom status items - or have I missed something?
    Tamasin

    HI,
    You missed something (at least from the  way I am reading your post).
    Messages is capable of doing everything that iChat could/can do  and also has the iMesages ability.
    An iMessages account does not replace any of the other Accounts (IM Screen Names and IDs) you were using before.
    iMessages needs an Apple ID.
    This can be separate from your Apple Support Communities Login and your iTunes Account or even any iCloud Account you might be using separately.
    If in iChat you had an AIM Login with an AIM or Apple issued (AIM Valid ID) or a Jabber (includes Google ID) then these need to be added to Messages.
    This is done in the normal way (The + icon at the bottom of the list in Messages > Preferences > Accounts)
    Or you can enable them in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars (for the Messages app)
    The Menu Bar icon refers to Buddy lists (non iMessages Accounts or iChat Accounts if you like) in terms of Status.
    The Messages Menu > Status should apply to the Same Buddy List(s) as opposed to the iMessages account.
    It sounds like you have only set up an iMessages account.

  • Mountain Lion: Messages/Screen Sharing

    I am currently using OS Lion IChat as it allows me to do screensharing to help my technically-challenged mother.  I understand that in Mountain Lion iChat has gone away, absorbed into Messages.  Does Messages/iChat, whatever the new flavor, still support screensharing?  I want to know this before upgrading to Mountain Lion.  If not I am likely to stick with Lion.

    HI,
    Messages is basically iChat+ and will do everything that iChat does PLUS the iMessages bit to iOS devices (And other people using Apple IDs in Messages)
    Menus such as the Video menu (for Screen Sharing) look very similar
    It is fair to say that not everything is in the same place but it is not hard to adjust.

  • Mountain Lion Messages and other iPhone and iPads not connecting

    Just downloaded Mountain Lion and have been trying to connect with the family on their iPhones and iPads. On the messaging page, it shows that they are offline, but when I check their phones, it looks like everything is ok.
    Also tried to connect via iChat and it would start the process and ring and pop up but when you tried to connect, it would totally disconnect.
    I dont know why their devices are showing off line and not receiving messages notes that I am sending

  • Mountain lion "messages" freezing computer

    downloaded mountain lion the other day. and just recently started using messages. and when i recieve a message and go to click on the messages icon on my dock sometimes it will freeze my computer. it happens 1-2 times a day. it never did this before i started using messages. anyone have any ideas?

    If you get a message there's not enough disk space, then you need to free up some space on your hard drive by moving some data off of it. Get an external drive and start moving or deleting data until you get to at least 8 GB free space.
    If you're unsure what is taking up the space use Apple menu > about this mac > storage tab.
    What does it report your free disk space as now?

  • Mountain Lion Messages behind a proxy

    How can I configure messages to work behind my proxy. Usually there is a proxy to put the proxy information in via the application but I am unable to find this field in messages on mountain lion.

    There have been quite a few requests on here concerning the very same problem but with the Messages beta -- I was hoping that the "official" release of Messages would somehow solve the problem but I guess it didn't…!?
    Let's hope that either Apple fixes this known problem with an update or that someone comes up with a decent workaround…!

  • Mountain Lion Messages App - Shortcut Keys

    Question refering to Messages on Mountain Lion
    Is there a shortcut key to close conversations?
    Is there the ability to disable confirmation dialogues when closing a conversation?.
    Thank you.

    There is an answer, but it's because of some dumb wording by Apple here that you, I, and possibly others are confused..
    When you first open Messages, the shortcut key to "Close Conversation" is cmd+backspace.  However, pressing that shortcut, Messages asks you if you want to delete the conversation and warns this cannot be undone.
    Hey Apple, closing and deleting are not the same thing!
    Before
    SOLUTION
    Go to preferences in Messages and check "Save history when conversations are closed."
    After
    Now the cmd+backspace shortcut is revealed for what it really is: "Delete Conversation."
    The real keyboard shortcut to "Close Conversation" is: shift+cmd+W
    And no, it doesn't ask you to confirm.
    Cheers!

  • New Mac -Mountain Lion - Messages- Empty buddy list

    Hi Everyone,
    Got a new Macbook air that I updated straigt to Mountain Lion before opening any software.
    Everything is syncked happily under the Icloud, but with "Messages" replacing Ichat, I endup with an empty Buddy list.
    Any reason why AIM and .Mac buddys are not imported ?
    Thanks
    Sophia

    Hi,
    IN the Window menu do you have an item for "Buddies" with the CMD + 1 keystrokes listed ?
    IF so go to Messages > Preferences > General section and untick the item that Gathers the "Accounts" to one list.
    Now from the Window Menu you should have individual CMD + # keystrokes listed fro as many Account (Screen Names and IDs) as are logged in.
    Can you see them ?
