OS X Mountain Lion Messages Beta - Integration with iOS Devices
Finding it slightly disappointing that I can't link my phone number with Messages on the Mac.
I currently recieve all my iMessages on my iPhone through my phone number, and so if I start using Messages on my Mac with my email address I would have none of those conversations to continue, and if I did start conversations they firstly; won't actually go through to my phone (as my Apple ID is not linked with iMessage on my iPhone) and even if they did they would come up as seperate conversations to those already on my phone.
Kind of a confusing post.. and really just asking whether anyone else has downloaded the Messages Beta and realised the same thing?
Having played around with it, I can get Messages to continue with the conversation in the same place on my end which is good. But on the other end the person recieves it from my email and so is in a different place to the rest of the actual convo.
Still would like some form of integration between email and number, but that article certainly shows why the email address works between different types of Apple Device!

I've tried to purchase Mountain Lion but when I click 'buy' I get the message, "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." I'm using an iMac with Lion OS on it, Why is it incompatible?
Your Mac must be one of the following models:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)

When attempting to install OS X Mountain Lion I get the following error message "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." Any idea what the issue might be?

Which Mac??????
iMac, MacBook Pro, Mini,, what?
Go up to the Apple icon on the upper left hand corner of your screen (menu bar).
Click that, and then "More Info". and then "More Info" again.
What does it say? Here's what mine says: -

Hi Mtn Mama,
Sounds like your Mac may not be compatible with OSX Mountain Lion. Here is a link with the list of compatible Macs:

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! -
When I send a message on MESSAGES using my iPad2, they do not show up on my iPhone or my MacBook Mountain Lion messages. Did I miss a setting on any of the devices as I thought iCloud took care of syncing all of my devices

i have an iMac with mountain lion 10.8.3 with boot camp 5.0.2 .i installed windows 7 -64 bit with boot camp but the boot camp didn't install drivers for windows please guide me for trouble shooting .
Kappy wrote:
Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable. -
"OSX Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer."
I bought a MacBook Pro (13" retina display) today. Tried to update software. Error mesage said to ujpdate OS. When I tried to, error message said, "OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?
All owners of the model seem to have the same problem. Presently there is no 10.8.2 updater for your model. The previous updater has been pulled. Wait a while and one will show up when Apple gets it fixed.

Downloading App store purchased Mountain Lion installer onto Mac with preinstalled OS X
I need to reinstall Mountain Lion on my Mac Book Pro. I purchased ML on the app store but need to create a bootable USB key. The only Mac I have available to do this is my girlfriend's new MacBook Air. This has a preinstalled version of Mountain Lion on it already. I know that I cannot re-use her preinstalled version of ML on my MBP but I would like to use her notebook to download the installer from my app store account. When I try to do this, however, I get an error message saying that Mountain Lion is not compatible with her computer. There appears to be no way to access a legitimately purchased app store version of ML on a computer where another version is pre-installed. Could this really be the case? All troubleshooting searches come up with people trying to illegally re-use the preinstalled OS on another computer---this is not what I am trying to do! Again, I want to access my paid in full app store purchase on a preinstalled device in order to put it back on my MBP. Help!
The Mid 2013 MacBook Air comes with a special 10.8.4 version, that makes impossible the process to download the common 10.8.4 from the App Store. You won't have this problem when Apple releases OS X 10.8.5.
You can't download 10.8.4 from the MacBook Air if you are going to install it in the MacBook Pro. You have to connect it to Internet and reinstall OS X using OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 -
I have upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 with Mail 6.2 and the "Use Autodiscovery Service" checkbox can't be found in Preferences. Any ideas?
Cannot connect to Hover mail server unless I login to my webmail and then the messages magically load in Mail and then it goes offline again.Let it go... these DL's take forever, depending on the spped of your connection and the traffic on the servers.
If by morning it is still sitting there restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off. -
for some reason osx mountain lion has disappeared from my purchases and now when i want to install mountain lion on another mac with the same apple id it wants to charge me for the program even though i have already purchased it. what do i do?
Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.

I have mountain lion OSX and parallels with Windows. Every time I click on a hyperlink in other applications it opens - some 7 Zip file explorer inside Parallels but doesn't go to Safari. Does anyone know solution?
I suggest that you run software update, after which you should have Safari 6.0.5 - then check Safari - Preferences - Privacy & see that 'Block cookies' is not set to Always.
Failing that - switch Safari extensions Off via Safari - Preferences - Extensions & test again
