Hi

would it be a better app ?
Thanks for reading

Hi Michael,
I am the Developer -- and the boss of the person who posted for me.
You are correct about developer previews. However, the email from Developer@[email protected], "Important Updates to Gatekeeper", dated August 4th, was NOT marked as beta confidential (as pre-release software would be):
You are receiving this email because you are an Apple Developer Program member who is opted-in to receive marketing or technical information. If you would prefer not to receive future communications from Apple Developer, you may unsubscribe.
So I don't believe there's a problem. The information about this change was disseminated in a broad manner -- I think Apple wanted to get as many developers on board ASAP.
So I'm a technical person. May I ask you directly -- do you know the answer as to whether the changes described in that public letter HAVEN'T taken effect, as the letter suggests?
Best Regards,
Stephen Greenfield

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.

I will check. Can the security update be installed if you can no longer open the Mac App Store app?
I was listening to the MacCast podcast and the host had a similar issue and did something similar to the link below. I am concerned that I may mess something up by doing this.

Facetime and iMessage not working on Mavericks OR iPhone 4s

Since downloading and installing Mavericks i have completely lost all funcionality of my iMessage and Facetime. Not just on my Macbook Pro i5 4GB, but also on my Iphone 4s. Facetime calls just ring endlessly and are never recieved. iMessage messages seem to send and give delivery reports but not one of my messages have been recieved. I also had trouble using 3rd party softwarre such as Viber which was doing the same.
If im honest im absolutly furious about this as im away working and the only way of communication i have with my family is through facetime/facetime audio and iMessage.
I have looked into reverting back to Mountain Lion but seems like a complete farce. Surely, having paid for Mountain Lion i should be 'allowed' to revert back. If ive bought a product i should be allowed to use it.. I am seeking legal advice on this point as we speak.
Having been an Apple user for 10 years i am totally at odds with what has happened to a company i once trusted and respected. a complete sinking ship.
Any help on the issues im facing would be more the appreciated.
Thanks

Both FaceTime and iMessage is not working on my Macbook Air

My facetime and imessage both randomly stopped working last week. I upgraded to Mavericks a few weeks ago but have only been having an issue for around a week. I have found that they do work if I log into my guest account, but they do not work on my main account. I have even reinstalled Mavericks, but have had no luck.
Any help would be amazing!

aiizaztarliq21: I solved my problem, and here is how I did it. I don't know if it will work for you or not, but it's worth a shot.
1. Make the time zone on the Mac not automatic (but correct to your time and zone), and change something in that pref. pane so that it overwrites the old prefs file.
2. Log out of iMessages, iCloud, etc., on your iOS devices
3. Un-associate your Apple ID with your computer user login (in System Preferences > Users and Groups).
4. Sign out of iCloud on your Mac.
5. Reboot.
6. Re-associate your Apple ID with your user login. If you see a caution icon next to it, double-click. Should disappear.
7. Launch iMessages and attempt to log in.
8. Then log in to iCloud via System Preferences > iCloud
If that doesn't work, do these steps, then go back to # 1, above.
9. Delete all the Apple tokens and keys in the Keychain (might break some other things--may be why I can't log in via Safari right now).
10. Reinstall Mavericks/OS X.
11. Repeat steps 1–8.

I received .mov via email and iMessage and quicktime tells me it can't open and to click tell me more for help

I tried to open .mov from an email and imessage and quicktime says it cant open and to click tell me more but then it doesnt give any information. Ive never had a problem opening videos made from an iphone and emailed before. These arent long clips.

i downloaded Quicktime 7 on my imac but it still wont open?
MOV refers to the file container. (MOV is the generic Quicktime file container.) Unfortunately, there cam be many different problems here.
1) People with different system configurations can place audio and/or video data not compatible with your system into MOV files, send them to you, and they will not play if you do not have the proper codecs installed for the QT 7 player to play them. Therefore, it is normally recommended that you determine what audio and video compression formats were used to create the original file. If the files do not open in either the QT X or QT 7 players, then you can check the file's "Get Info" window to see the the Mac OS X Finder recognizes the compressed data format(s). If it doesen't, them you can try opening the file in an alternate media player like VLC (free download) to see if that play can open, play, and/or tell you the compression formats. Lastly, if an app like VLC can't help you, you can download a generic media information app like MediaInfo (also a free download) to examine the file.
2) Once you know the compression formats use in the file and the Mac OS X version, and QT player being used, it is usuall a simple matter to determine if the compression format is supposed to be compatible with the QT player used for your Mac OS X or IOS device. This will tetermine whether or not the file can be played natively or must be converted to a different compression format for playback
3) In a very small percentage of cases, it may turn out that the file sent to you is either correpted or violates a security update installed on your system that prevents plaback. In the case of a corrupted file, about the only thing you can do as request the file be resent to you and hope for better results. In the case of a security problem, the file may be playable and/or convertable by a third-party application that gets around Apple's security trapping that prevents playback.
4) In the future, if you have problems opening or playing a file, please be more specific as to the nature of the problem. Specify the specific modal message you are getting or describe whether the player quits without a message, crashes, or will not open under one user account but does open under another.
and how would you resolve this issue on your iphone but updating quicktime player?
Your original message did not indicate that you were trying to play the file on your iPhone. Since the QT 7 player better handles the playback of "legacy" compression formats—especially under Mavericks—many users are advised to install the QT 7 player to handle compression formats no longer playable by the new AVFoundation software embedded in Mavericks. In addition, the QT 7 player is supported by an older 32-bit structure embedded in the Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 operating systems which can still access third-party codecs if your system is configured for their use—another reason for keeping QT 7 installed on a computer system. Unfortunately, such options will not fix blayback problems on an IOS device where it is normally easier to convert unsupported compression formats to natively supported compression formats—primarily H.264 video with AAC audio in MOV, MP4, or M4V file containers.

SMS and iMessage Continuity

When you use Continuity to receive SMS messages on your desktop Mac, you have to be on the same Wi-Fi network. This means you don't have to worry about your SMS or MMS popping up on a work Mac if you're at home, or a school iPad if you're at a restaurant, or anywhere else beyond your reach.
I love this feature! But the problem is that it doesn't work with iMessage. If someone sends me an old-fashioned SMS, then it appears on my iMac only if I'm nearby. But if someone sends me an iMessage it pops up on my iMac - at work - even if I'm at home, and this is really annoying.
Am I missing something?

Hi,
Ever since Messages was in Beta during may to December 2012 it has had an element of "Sync" which is in fact "Display on All Devices".
The stated goal has always been to get to a point where SMS and iMessages could be seen on both types of Device (Mac and iOS).
As the app has changed on the Mac through Messages 7 in Mountain Lion and the ver 8 in Mavericks and the so called ver 8 in Yosemite this has got closer during the various updates along the way.
Previous iChat versions have changed at Upgrades (OS X 10.8 to OS X 10.9 for instance) and sub version during update.
For Instance OS X 10.5.8 is the "end" of Leopard and at this point iChat is at version 4.0.9
This continues until we get to Mavericks.
There are at least three "builds" but all are still called version 8 (only error logs show you the difference)
In Yosemite the app still gets called Version 8 despite the Messages pane in the preferences completely disappearing and the subsequent changes to the general section and the disappearance of the Format Menu. There are also changes to the way you are stuck with the Contacts app Pic and not an independent one in the app like before and the round Buddy pic s in Buddy lists and in the Chats with associated changes and removal of linked Menu items for such Displays in each (no more Name and Pics in Chats)
Have you tried Do Not Disturb in the Notifications (System Preferences) so that Alerts or Banners do not appear ?
The Setting in the General Section of the Preferences that says "When I Quit set the Status to Offline" does not work for the iMessages account which means the app will start up if iMessages are "heard"
This does seem to be different to the Mountain Lion and Mavericks versions. However it does seem it stop the app launching but the DOCK displays the unread indicators.
I would take to unticking the "Enable this Account" box if you need to leave the computer On.

How do i use FaceTime and iMessage on Ipad and iPhone

I want to use FaceTime and iMessage on my iPhone and Ipad with the same Apple account but also with eachother.
Is this possible?

Yes it is possible.
After you activate the apps on all of your devices with your Apple ID - you then have to add another email address at which you can be reached on all but one of the devices - and then remove your Apple ID email address as the contact address on those devices. You can keep the ID on one device as the address at which you can be reached.
It is really very simple to do, but this user posted this some type ago and it explains how to do it. You can also Google it and find other sites that explain it. But here you go ....
