Remove iMessage from public mac??

So basically I was using a public mac and was signed into iMessage and was using it whilst I worked.
At end of session i removed computer and logged out of iMessage from the app and went into iTunes and removed association of the computer
I recently changed my Apple ID password and when I was activating my iphone after a restore this morning it popped up saying that the "macs name" will use "my number" for iMessage and there was no way to click no or cancel just an okay button.. Ive looked in iMessage settings to see if there's anything i can do but I can't find anything...
Help as I don't want my messages to still be sending to this mac!

On the Mac you were using, did you go to Messages>Preferences>Accounts & sign out & remove the check to enable this account:

  • How can I completely remove iMessage from my Mac so that it looks brand new?

    I already disabled the account in preferences. I don't want any of my message logs to be on my Mac and I do not know how to remove them. Can anyone help me? '
    I tried this:
    Quit out of Messages for Mac
    Hit Command+Shift+G to bring up the “Go To Folder” window
    Enter ~/Library/Messages/
    Select all files in the Messages directory and move to trash, files will be named chat.db, chat.db-shm, chat.db-wal, etc
    Empty the Trash and relaunch iMessages
    This didn't work. Any other suggestions?

  • Why can't I login to iMessages from my Mac?

    Why can't I login to iMessages from my Mac? It just started all of a sudden, all my iMessage conv's are offline. I tried but get an error message that states "Your Apple ID "xxxxxxxx" can't be used to set up iMessage at this time" and then a customer code to contact apple. This would require a pay for advice payment I'd rather not do.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    There is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know, but according to reports, it can sometimes mean that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a no-charge service.
    Otherwise, do what the alert tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID" as the product and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the representative.

  • Can I transfer my iMessages from my Mac to my iPhone?

    I got a new iPhone 5s recently and unfortunately my backup on my previous phone wasn't up to date. That phone has been wiped clean and is long gone now. I also have a Mac and have all my recent iMessages up to date on my Mac. (All archived) The iMessages that show on my new phone are old and I want to see if there is a way to transfer the iMessages from my Mac to my phone in order for it to be up to date. I understand that backing it up to the iCloud would have been the easiest way to go about it, but I believe that my last backup didn't complete because of a lack of space and I got a new phone before fixing that problem. Any help would be great! I would also like to do this for the Notes app as well.

    Sorry, no. There is no way to restore those iMessages or Notes without a backup.

  • How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

    How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

    You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    No. They will remain on the Mac. That's one of the reasons why it's a good idea to import your treasured photos. If something happens to the iPad, you still have your photos.

  • Why can't I remove iMessage from iCloud backups?

    Why can't I remove iMessage from iCloud backups?
    I've noticed that my iCloud backups are constantly hitting their 5GB max, even after clearing out camera rolls, etc.
    After some testing, I've found that iMessages are also backed up.   For someone like me, I'm constantly sending pictures / videos to friends and family, having a little guy under a year old (but that's not important).
    In any case, it seems you can set iCloud backup for just about every app EXCEPT iMessages.   The only way I've found to solve this is to constantly delete message threads from my iPhone, so that they aren't taking up iCloud space.   But this honestly is a bit of a pain (okay, only a little bit)...  why can't I keep my messages around for as long as I want, without backing them up? 

    Make sure you have their icloud email they use for imessage in their contact information before sending them an imessage.

  • TS2755 can't sign in on my phone. "please check network connection". but i can sign into iCloud on my phone & iMessages from my mac

    I can't sign in to iMessage on my phone. It says "please check network connection" however i can sign into iCloud on my phone & can sign into iMessages from my mac.
    Obvvioulsy I've tried a hard reset & I restored my phone to stock yesterday.

    So, considering there have been 20 odd pages on queries since I posted this I'm guessing I aint gonna get any help here, so does anyone know if it's possible to get help from Apple without having to pay? I cant get to a genius bar. I'm looking for an email address maybe? I've spent hours searching through forums & have scoured Apples support pages & as far as I can tell the only way to get anything from Apple is by paying them - I've had my phone over a year you see.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
