Text messages on Macbook pro
How do I get text messages from my phone to my macbook pro?
HI,
If you mean SMS messages you can't.
That is not part of the "Sync" function of the iMessages side of the Messages app on both Mac and iOS device.
Basically the iOS version can send iMessages when it and the recipient are on Wifi.
At other times it will send SMS messages (if this is enabled on both devices).
However only the iMessages ones will sync to other iOS device and the Mac that are using the same Apple ID.
NOTE the "Sync" is only Display on All Devices and each is then independent of anything you do to the messages on one device.

View text messages on Macbook Pro
Hi there... I just recently purchased the Macbook Pro and need help figuring out a couple things. I wanted to know how to set up the messages icon on your desktop on your Macbook Pro. Also I was wondering if it is possible to view and send your text messages from your phone on your Macbook Pro? If you could tell me how to do both I would be grateful! As you can probably tell I am a Windows user and need help figuring this out.... Thanks much!
It's called iMessage and you can only do it if you're using two different Apple accounts on your phone and Mac. As for the iMessage icon, do you want to change the icon itself or what?

I just got a message on macbook pro: The system extension "//System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBethernetHost.kext" was installed improperly. Please try uninstalling it, or contact the product 's vendor for an update.
Anyone have any idea what this is about?Sasha-
Maybe your looking in the wrong "Library". On my Mavericks; I open the HD to see a folder below the Library Folder called "Systems". Open the Systems Folder to see a "Library Folder". Open that library folder to see "Extensions folder". Open the extensions folder to find the "AppleUSBethernetHost.kext" and delete that extention. Following Lanny's post, do this:
1st- Close iTunes.
2nd- Delete the system extension “AppleUSBethernetHost.kext” from here:
//System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBethernetHost.kext
3rd- go to iTunes 11.4 download, here: https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
click on the "Download Now" link.
4th- Find the downloaded iTunes11.4.dmg file, open it, now open the Install iTunes.pkg
After the re-install as above I got the successfully installed window and no “pop up”
improperly installed AppleUSBMultitouch.kext warning window.

I can't sync my all email message between macbook pro and iPad 4
Hi,
I can't sync my all email message between macbook pro and iPad 4. This sync only complete account setting but not email message.
Can anybody help me to fix the problem?You can't "fix" this problem because you can't sync email messages from the Mac mail app, you can only sync your email account settings. Messages will not sync using iTunes.

Messages on MacBook Pro not syncing with iPhone
Hi,
I'm using an iPhone 5 running IOS 8.3 and a MacBook Pro running 10.10.3.
In the past I have been using messages on my MacBook and my iPhone. If I sent a text via my phone, it showed up in messages on my Mac and vise versa. Since the iWatch has come out and I upgraded my IOS on my phone, the messages work on both devices but I cannot "see" them on both. In other words, if I start a conversation using messages on my mac, it works fine, but they don't show up on my phone. Same holds true in the reverse.
I have deleted the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist from my User Library and rebooted. I double checked settings on my phone, and my apple ID and my cell phone number are set up for both sending and receiving. I turned my phone onto Airplane mode and back on, and restarted all devices multiple times.
While I'm not crippled and can send/receive messages from both devices, I would like to get them so conversations are showing up on both devices.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
TIA
NancyHi,
Did you check the iPhone > Settings > Messages > Text Forwarding ?

Sending an SMS test message from MacBook Pro
Unfortunately, I have messed around with the settings on my MacBook Pro and now I cannot send a text message via my computer to someone who doesn't have an iPhone - which I could until I inadvertently changed some settings. When I attempt to send an SMS text message to a non-iPhone I receive a message that says: " ....is not registered with iMessage". Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Can the computer receive them?

Text rendering on MacBook Pro differs from PowerBook.
It appears that various applications use a different text rendering technique on the MacBook Pro than on the Powerbook. Camino for instance uses sub-pixel rendering on the PowerBook but standard anti-aliasing on the MacBook Pro. So do Word and MSN and others.
At first I thought it had something to do with the app being universal or not. But Camino is supposed to be a universal binary.
Anyone has a clue about why this difference?
(You can easily see if sub-pixel or standard rendering is used by zooming in with option-cmd-8. Standard rendering has only shades of gray. Sub-pixel rendering uses colors. More on OS X text rendering can be found here: http://daringfireball.net/2003/11/panthertextrendering.)First, I wonder - does it look good or bad? Or, is this simply a comment that it is different?
Second, and I'll bet this is your answer, is that the difference is most likely due to the type of video card being used. I notice that nothing effects rendering of fonts like the type of video card.
I am interested because I will be doing lots of text work on my MBP, and would like to know if there is an issue with this. I had a notebook (Toshiba) about three years ago that the text was soft and nothing I could do would make it sharper. I ended up dumping the notebook and getting something else. MS Cleartype seems to work to some degree in Windows machines, but I don't see anything like that on my PB. However, the PB is fine as it...

I recently switched over from a Windows XP machine and bought a MacBook Pro 2.2 ghz. The screen is great and it's set at it's optimal resolution; however, text in the mail program and a few other programs are a strain on the eye. Is their some setting that I am unaware of to bump up text sizing other then lowering the resolution. I tried doing that last night and the text did become bigger but the quality of text wasn't as crisp as in the higher resolution.
In Windows there is an option to config text size separately from resolution (which I understand wll be in Leopard), is there someting closely similar in Tiger?
Also, I see in Safari you can always bump up teh viewing size of text but yopu need to do it each time you start up the program.
I would like to hear what everyone else is setting their notebooks at.
Thanks.

In every app on a mac and in the finder, there is somewhere that you can set your preferred font and font size.
Which sizes and which fonts are something that you should experiment with to see what suits you and your eyes.
I use small font sizes but that is what suits me; you need to choose your own. Play with the apps and look at what is available to you.
(the standard font sizes in windows apps were so large that they were crazy when I had to infrequently use a windows machine.) -
I just purchased the Acrobat XI Pro Subscription online. After downloading the software and receiving the message that the installation was complete I tried to open the software to no avail. It starts to open with a "please wait while we launch Acrobat..." screen, then I get an error message "Acrobat Quit Unexpectedly" with options to Ignor, Report, or Reopen. I've sent the report, but no matter how many times I try the 'Reopen' or 'Ignore' options the software will not open. I'm running a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X version 10.7.5.
Any suggestions on how to get the software to work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.Hi Ron,
Please try the steps below and let me know if it worked for you.
Delete all the files from following folders:
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
Then launch Acrobat and try to activate and check.

canitoThere is a bug when doing “export mailbox” and import mailbox functionality.
Workaround:
> Open Finder and under the “Go” menu, hold down the option key. The “Library” sub-menu will show up.
> Copy the entire “Library > Mail” folder to a USB disk (it will not work if copying to a shared drive for some reason)
> Take the USB disk to the new computer and do an “Import Mailbox” and select the copied Data file. There will be LOTS of folders that come up for import, you can browse through and deselect what you don’t need (e.g. trash or junk mail), OR just import everything and then clean up from your mailbox.
> The imported folders will show up in mail under the “On My Mac” area.
