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!

    Try opening the Terminal utility in your system and running the following command to open the system's caches folder:
    open $TMPDIR../C
    Then locate and remove the folder called "com.apple.appstore" and then try relaunching the App Store and downloading the installer again.

  • Can't download 10.8 mountain lion from app store

    Hi,
    I own a 2008 mac pro. The system drive was still running an original install of osx (upgraded to the latest version of 10.8). It had become pretty slow, so I bought a new ssd for a fresh install of the os.
    I own 10.6 on dvd, which I have used previously on another computer to acomplish the exact same thing I'm trying to do here; install 10.6 on a new drive, then upgrade to 10.8 (the only way I know how to do this).
    So I did the usual - new drive in, old drive out, install 10.6, update 10.6 until the "app store" becomes available. So I'm now running 10.6.8. I open the app store, log in, go to "my purchases" and see osx mountain lion sitting in the list. It says I purchased it on the 12th of November, 2012, which is correct. If I click on "osx mountain lion", the app store informs me that "Item not available. The item you've requested is not currently available in the UK store". I bought the "item". I paid good money Apple. Why can't I download this? If I click "download" a little spinny thing appears for a couple of seconds next to the back/forward arrows, then disappears.
    10.9 is unsupported with the software I use - everyone's reporting faults, so I need 10.8. Can someone help? Obviously I can just put the old drive back in, but this NEEDS to be available somehow...?
    Thanks

    That's good to hear.
    After some mucking about I managed to get it downloading on another computer (which is already running 10.8). Hopefully I should be able to copy it over and install.
    But I will let Apple know - potentially pretty disasterous for people.
    Thanks.

  • 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!
