Problem with Messages Version 8.0

I am running Mavericks 10.9.3 and Messages doesn't allow me to video chat with someone on a Mac.  Instead, it automatically defaults to their iPhone.  The "invite to video chat" is grayed out and the start new chat is also grayed out.  Has everything changed?

HI,
Yes, No, Maybe.
At Messages 7 in Mountain Lion the iMessages account was added as an Option in the accounts.
If you "register" for an iMessages account then when you use this to start a text conversation and then use the Video Icon it will  invoke th FaceTime App and not Messages own Video abilities.
If you have an AIM valid account set up in Messages this will Video (And Audio Chat and Screen Share) to other AIM/Mac Buddies.
The same for Jabber accounts (Jabber to Jabber on a Mac  with Messages or iChat).
Jabber IDs can include Google Mail IDs and Facebook Chat IDs
AIM valid IDs include emails issued by Apple (@Mac.com @me.com and @icloud.com)
These are about to change by the 30th June 2014 See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5224
This opens up several possibilities.
1) your Apple ID is issued by Apple and can be used in iMessages and as a AIM Account.
2) Your Google ID maybe your Apple ID (as in an external email) but also work as A Google account in Messages iChat.
NOTE.
As Messages can also use the Yahooo service with a Yahoo ID then this may also be your Apple ID and be your iMessages account as well as your Yahoo account ID.
Variations as to why it might not reach a Mac.
Lets presume that using iMessages and chatting to an iMessage Contact is what you are doing and you wanted to Video chat using FaceTime but expected it to go their Mac.
It may be that their version on the Mac is Off (therefore it will not "trigger" FaceTime at their end).
Possibly they use a different Apple ID on their FaceTime app compared to their iMessages account.
There then follows an whole raft of variations that their iPhone Number is not listed on their FaceTime as an Alternative contact or any email that is actually an Alias for iMessages and not FaceTime.

  • Problem with message mapping ...

    Hello,
    I have problem with message mapping. I implemented SOAP-to-RFC scenario. The source message is of type http://sntcz.cz/xmlns/holidays:MT_Holiday, the target message of type urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions:Z_GET_SUPERIOR. But some error is still generated in Request Message Mapping step:

    It's strange that if I use Message Mapping Test it works fine. But in pipeline not.
    Do you have any idea where could be the problem?
    Thank you in advance!
    Best regard,
    Zbynek

    Hi,
    To know the correct error Take the Inbound Payload from MONI and Test it in Mapping Test TAB. then u will come to know the exact error.
    Procedure to take the Payload
    goto MONI-Double click on MessageInbound Message ( CENTRAL ) --Payloads ---Double click on MainDocument ( application/xml ) -Just Right Click on the second window-View Source
    then now Copy this and paste it in Mapping Test and Execute.

  • Problems with Italian version of Dreamweaver [subject edited by moderator]

    The italian version of this software doesn't match with the configurations in the tutorials and it's impossible to follow the procedure to learn how to use it!! I've spent more than two hours just to put the "split working area" in vertical with no results. No way to open the same tools. And then, where are the assets files to download??? I think it could be a wonderful idea give us something easier to learn, simply having giving us the right correspondence between the software (open for the first time after the download) and the video tutorials…please, in this condition I cannot work and so how can I do?
    Ciao
    Paolo

    Dear Murray,
    unfortunately I can't go on with this program…it's impossible without the CSS file showed on the tutorial…I've also tried to find something on the web and I've tried to install Adobe Widget Browser but it doesn't work!
    So I've lost a lot of hours and I'm very frustrated and disappointed…and then the Dreamweaver CC version I've downloaded from Creative Cloud is different from the one in the tutorials, so I can follow all the indications without stop and start searching somewhere the things…
    In this condition it's impossible to learn how to use this software…it's an incredible waste of time…and paying for that!!

    >> Different language versions of the same version of DW are the same. What I mean by that is that no matter which REGIONALIZED version you are using, the interface should be the same. So even though you say you are using DW CC, is it CC2014, or CC2014.1, or just CC that you are using? (you can tell by looking under HELP > About Dreamweaver)

    Is this the error you are getting when you are installing AIR 3.0?  Or is this the error you are getting after you've already installed AIR 3.0 and attempting to run AIR applications?  If it's the latter, which applications are you trying to run?  Can you please send us your logs so that we can investigate further?  Thanks!

  • Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "

    Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
    i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

    Hi There
    Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
    Solution to working You Tube app:
    -Go to playstore
    - Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
    - "Et Voila", working again.
    This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
    Hope it helped.
    Best Regards

  • [b]Problem with message choice[/b]

    Hi, all, I have a problem with message choice because when I get the value it returns the value of index row.
    For example I have this message choice:
    <messageChoice model="${bindings.Dept}" readOnly="false" required="no" name="dpt">
    <contents childData="${bindings.Dept.displayData}">
    <option model="${uix.current}"/>
    </contents>
    </messageChoice>
    If I select the first data of message choice it returns 0, if I select the second data it returns 1 and so on. But I want to return the value of field dept and in message choice I show the dept_name field.
    Can anyone tell me how do this? It's urgent because I haven't much time to do this work.
    Thanks, Matteo.

    Matteo,
    Maybe this works for you as well:
    <messageChoice model="${bindings.DeptLOV}" name="dpt">
    <contents childData="${bindings.DeptList.rangeSet}">
    <option value="${uix.current.dept}" text="${uix.current.dept_name}"/>
    </contents>
    </messageChoice>
    where DeptLOV is a LOV List type binding, and DeptList is a Range type binding that is based upon the Dept iterator. If one of these three does not exist in your project yet, you should create them manually via the Structure palette.

  • TS5376 I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

    I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

    Hi, so did I.  It seems to be a huge problem with everyone.  I opened a folder on desktop and called it target.  I copied all my songs into that folder.
    I uninstalled Itunes completely.  Rebooted.  Then I installed a fresh install.
    I then dragged all the songs back to Itunes and it worked.  I hope that helps. 
    I read an article the other day and apple is suppose to come out with some genius fix for this problem, it really seems to be global.
    Good luck,

  • Problem with message count

    hello ,
    I have problem with message count, in my inbox there are more than 0 messages but i got result of
    Folder inbox = store.getFolder("Inbox")
    int c =inbox.getMessageCount()
    of c is 0
    i.e i got c as zero rather than 5.

    I am seeing the same thing and I agree with MathiasF's observation.  My count seems to increase when I do a search for mail on the server.  This has happened previously (iOS 5.x) but ending the Mail app always fixed it.  The only way I can correct the count now is if I turn off sync for Mail on the Exchange account and re-enable.  This clears my mail and causes my phone to go out and redownload.  Rebooting and resetting the iPhone has not helped.
    I'm on Sprint - 32GB White iPhone 4S running iOS 6.0 (10A403)

  • Problems with latest version of Muse

    I'd like to report some problems with latest version of Muse. Its actually all related with scroll effect.
    1. In previous version I had a group of rectangles and when I added to them  motion (initial motion: 0 everywhere, final motion: 0 everywhere) they where sliding nicely down during scrolling my page, and it happened only in y line (horizontally). Now its moving also on the right and left, when I am changing size of window. Other thing is that in firefox this group of rectangles is pinned to bottom of window.
    2.  I have footer that I want to be always pinned to the bottom of window. The footer is a group of objects: rectangle + one png file with hyperlink, and one text with hyperlink - and of course it worked perfectly in previous version, but now finally when I export the page I have only the rectangle without hyperlink on the bottom of the page and the rest is missing.
    I hope I explained it clearly? I did my best :-)

    I have a same problem like no.2.
    Finally, I fixed it.
    First, You have to ungroup the footer objecs.
    Second, Group again that.
    Then export your site.
    Please try this!
    I hope this will be of some help.

  • Scrolling with the mouse wheel does not always work with 4.0? Never a problem with previsous versions.

    in firefox 4.0, at times the scrolling wheel will not work. It has never been a problem with previous versions, and always works in internet explorer.

    Hello Henry,
    Thanks for the hint!
    My mouse wheel is  working, but not in flash player...strange... It is a Microsoft Comfort  Mouse and I see there is already logged bug about that: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5145
    Anyway besides this bug, there is an additional issue I think, that the vertical layout does not calculate properly the vertical scroll position, when certain elements are excluded from the layout. I have described this additionally in the Jira.

  • Strange Problems with Messages

    I've been experiencing some strange problems with Messages.
    1) Sometimes my messages are displayed on screen. I type into the input box and hit enters. Then message disappears and does not show above in the chat box. I later find out that the message was delivered yet it doesn't show up in my chat.
    2) Sometimes I see duplicate Chat windows on the left rail for the same contact, this is usually in conjuction with error #1.
    3) Sometimes I can unable to dlete chat windows. I click the x and it does nothing. I right click and choose Close Chat and it does nothing
    4) When searching the left rail for open chats, the app gets really confused and show strange results, when deleting the search the chat window gets really odd order, nothing to do with sort or recent chats
