Setting my imessage app on my MacBook Air back to default

Hello
I set up my new macbook with my husbands apple ID and now my imessage app on the mac is using my husbands name. Can I change the apple ID my mac uses for system apps including my imessage app? Or can I change the imessage app apple ID?

Create another User with Admin rights for yourself...use that Login & setup the Messages app for yourself. If you'll be the only user, you can then delete your husbands account, or keep it if you like.

  • My imessages app on the macbook air is not working

    I have the Macbook Air and the Ipad. I received the Ipad first, therefore have a apple account and everything set up including the imessage app on ipad. However when i got the Macbook Air and used the same email i did for the ipad, it sync and could send messages to people from either product. but later the app on mac didnt send messages anymore neither synced with the ipad or by itself. The imessage ap on the mac is very slow for my mac but i can use the internet super fast. Also the imessage app is not sync with the ipad anymore. I didnt turn on icloud but when both imessage apps on the ipad and mac i wasnt using icloud. So here's my questions:
    Is the Imessage app usually slow on Macbook Air?
    How do you sync the imessage app for ipad and mac?

  • Could someone please explain where I can find the 'built in' imessage app for my MacBook Air so I can place it on my dock?

    Forgive my ignorance, but would someone please explain how to set up imessages (with FaceTime) on my MacBook Air dock? I thought it was built in - but do not see it when I search apps. Many thanks.

    Choose Applications from the Finder's Go menu and drag Messages and/or FaceTime to the Dock. If the computer's running 10.7.5 or earlier, it won't have Messages, and if it's running 10.6.8 or earlier, needs to get FaceTime from the Mac App Store.

  • Is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    Hey bishopcheen,
    Great question! Apple has announced that these features are coming in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. For more information, check out the “Messages” section of this page:
    Apple - OS X Yosemite - Apps
    http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/
    Messages gives you so many ways to start a conversation. When your iPhone is nearby, you can send a text message from your Mac to groups of friends, even if they use SMS. Or send a photo of your epic karaoke birthday party, then follow it up with a Soundbite audio clip of your encore performance. With Messages, it’s not just what you say, it’s however you want to say it.
    Now every message on your iPhone appears on your Mac.
    Messages on your Mac has always been a great way to stay in touch. But friends without iMessage couldn’t be part of the conversation. Well, now they can be. All the SMS and MMS messages you receive on your iPhone now appear on your Mac. So you can text any friend without picking up your iPhone. And the conversation stays up to date across all your devices.
    iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are coming this fall. I hope you are as excited as I am!
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Hello, i can't open any apps on my macbook air or install any app

    Hello, i can't open any apps on my macbook air. when i am attempting it says "you may need to reinstall app but when i am trying to reinstall it doesn't do anything. i can only browse right now. It happened right after when i deleted some files i was trying to uninstall the useless app and i think i accidently deleted some system files. Right now it is letting me to download the app but i cannot install any of the app or even open any application. please help

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • I have both an iMovie.app and iMovie 9.09.app on my Macbook Air.  Can I delete one of these apps without losing iMovie?  I need to free up space on my computer as I don't have any space left.

    I have both an iMovie.app and iMovie 9.09.app on my Macbook Air.  Can I delete one of these apps without losing iMovie?  I need to free up space on my Macbook Air as I don't have any space left.  I've ordered an external drive in order to move photos and video there to free up space.  In the meantime I have to make some room for incoming emails and to open programs.  I've already deleted some documents.

    You should find out which app you are using when you double click on a movie.

  • I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

    I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

    It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
    If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
    If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them

  • I lost App store app on my macbook air.can i get it now?

    i lost App store app on my macbook air.can i get it now?

    Are you running with Snow Leopard 10.6.5 as your profile suggests.   If so you should not be able to get to the App Store.   So what do you have?
    You need Snow Leopard update 10.6.8.   Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Once you have that I don't see why not.   Check your purchase listing.   If it is there you can download again free.

  • I am having trouble with the "numbers" app on my MacBook Air. I go to print my document and that works just fine. I cannot however return to the document after printing. What do I have to do?

    I am having trouble with the "numbers" app on my MacBook Air. I go to print my document and that works just fine. I cannot however return to the document after printing. What do I have to do?

    RR,
    Not to worry, you're not the first to expect Print to finish by returning you to the edit mode. The thing is that Printing is so hit and miss with this version of the app, you will probably want to stay in the Print window for more than one attempt.

  • Why doesn't my Messages app on my Macbook Air 11" work?

    Why did my Messages app on my Macbook Air 11" stop working?
    It stopped out of no where, I don't even know how it happened. It works if I log in with my other emails. But the email I want to use with my Messages doesn't want to work. I tried changing the password but still doesn't work. I hope you could help me!

    You do have to pay, but you're not paying again. iWork apps for OS X are not the same as the iOS versions.

  • IMessage text from my MacBook Air

    I've had my MacBook Air for a year.  Text on my iPhone 4S and iMessage on my Air are synced so I can see the chat thread on either device.
    Recently, when texting from my Air on iMessage, they are ONLY being sent to my daughter's email, not her cell # - as they have always done.  My iphone texts to her iPhone, but my Air ONLY texts to her email now. What has changed?
    I've gone through all the settings & preferences in iMessage, my Air, my AppleID, but can't seem to get the messages/text back to her phone #.
    Thanks!

    Start a new conversation and enter her phone number?
