Tried to connect my messages from my phone to my macbook, but the accounts tab under preferences won't let me type in my Apple ID and I can't save, cancel, or exit out of the window

I just got a new MacBook Pro today. My friend explained to me how to connect my messaged from my phone to my Mac, since they weren't connected yet. I opened Messages > Preferences > Accounts. My Apple ID and account info was already there and it was enabled, but the messages still weren't syncing, so I disabled it and tried to add the account again. I went to put in my account info, but I realized there was no space to put in my Apple ID, even though it said to. I typed in my first and last name, password and country, but when I clicked "save" nothing happened. The section that asked my ID, name and password disappeared, the "save" button keeps flashing, and I can't "cancel" or exit out of the window. If I press "cancel", an alert message appears but all it says is "(null)". How can I fix this so that I can exit out of it? It won't let me shut down because of this.

It will only sync with new messages received after Mac's Messages is configured and running.
It will not synced old messages.

Have you plugged in your iPhone to the computer? In iTunes > File > Devices you should be able to "Transfer Purchases."
In iTunes > Store have you authorised the computer?

Problem with the MenuBar and how can i delete a own component out of the storage

Hello,
I opened this thread in the category "Flex Builder 2", but
under this category my questions fit better.
I have a problem with the MenuBar and a question to delete a
component out of storage.
1. We have implemented the MenuBar, which was filled
dynamically with XML data.
Sporadically it will appear following fault, if we "mousover"
the root layer.
RangeError: Error #2006: Der angegebene Index liegt
außerhalb des zulässigen Bereichs.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChildAt()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/
http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::rawChildren_addChildAt()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/addChild()
at mx.managers::PopUpManager$/addPopUp()
at mx.controls::Menu/show()
at mx.controls::MenuBar/::showMenu()
at mx.controls::MenuBar/::mouseOverHandler()
Here a abrid ged version of our XML to create the MenuBar:
<Menuebar>
<menu label="Artikel">
<menu label="Artikel anlegen" data="new_article" />
<menu label="Artikel bearbeiten" data="edit_article" />
<menu label="Verpackung">
<menu label="Verpackung anlegen" data="new_package" />
<menu label="Verpackung bearbeiten" data="edit_package"
/>
</menu>
<menu label="Materialgruppe">
<menu label="Materialgruppe anlegen"
data="new_materialgroup" />
<menu label="Materialgruppe bearbeiten"
data="edit_materialgroup" />
</menu>
</menu>
</Menuebar>
It is a well-formed XML.
2. Delete a component out of storage
We have some own components (basically forms), which will be
created and shown by an construct e.g.
var myComponent : T_Component = new T_Component ;
this.addChild(myComponent)
Some of our forms will be created in an popup. On every call
of the popup, we lost 5 mb or more, all childs on the windows will
be removed by formname.removeAllChild();
What cann we do, that the garbage collector will dispose this
objects.
Is there a way to show all objects with references (NOT
NULL)?
I have read in the Flex Help, that
this.removeChild(myComponent) not delete the form and/or object out
of the storage.
Rather the object must be destroyed.
It is sufficient to call delete(myComponent) about remove
this object out of the storage as the case may be that the
garbage-collector remove this object at any time?
Or how can I destroy a component correctly. What happens with
the widgets on this component e.g. input fields or datagrids?
Are they also being deleted?
Thanks for your help.

If you mena the "photo Library" then you cannot delete it.
This is how iphone handles photos. There are not two copies. There a re simply two places from which to access the same photos. ALL photos synced to iphone can be accessed via Photo Library. Those same pics can be accessed via their individual folder.

There are tabs with bookmarks showing up in the tab bar that won't close. Why do they come up and why can't I close them?

I can't close the bookmark tabs that show up automatically at the tab bar. I don't want them to open or show up. When they show up I can't close them and everything in the tab bar gets frozen. So I'm just stuck. Firefox won't even quit when this happens. How can disable these bookmark tabs from showing up. They are a nuisance.
I also need instruction on eliminating bookmarks that came with Firefox. I deleted them, but they showed up again.

Can you attach a screenshot?

I am trying to send photos to the cloud from my phone to my iPad but they are not appearing in the stream. I have read the instructions and I think I am doing it right or am I missing a part of the process?

HI,
Have you done this before ? And if so, is photo stream turned on on your iphone and ipad. and as Alfred DeRose pointed out they must both on the same icloud account.
If you're new to this, you might want to do some research. Photo stream is different from camera roll and albums. Many have been on this sight looking for their photos stored in icloud after restore, etc. and they're not there. Also, after thirty days icloud deletes your photos from photo stream.
So if you're not aware, you might want to google your question. We're using the camera connection kit soon and I am learning about it. From all I've read, I'm also not the biggest icloud fan. I use dropbox. We plan to put photos taken on ipad with a camera/iphones into albums on the ipad. We'll keep all on the sd card until (and after) they can be uploaded to a computer.
An example of an article we can learn from -

Hope this helps.

My wife has bought an iPad from a friend. My wife has an iphone with an iCloud account. When trying to connect to iCloud from the new iPad it says her username and password are not authorised. Any help

MMy wife had bought an iPad from a friend. My wife already has an iPhone, which is registered to iCloud. She cannot acces iCloud from the new iPad. It says her username and password is not authorised. What do we need to do.

This could be a couple different things.
     The device is not authorized to the Apple ID.
         Continue setup for the ID on the device.
There is an account issue
        Is she able to get signed in at
               Appleid.apple.com
                   and manage the account
Can she get signed in at
Supportprofile.apple.com ?
         How many devices are registered to that Apple ID?

I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes... "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play. How can I get this message to STOP?

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?

Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

You can purchase recovery disks from HP. Here is a webpage showing you how to do that:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=bph07143
If HP no longer supplies your specific recovery disk, you can usually find one from a 3rd party site, such as www.restoredisks.com for between $20 and $30.

Have you already confirmed that you trust the computer?
Launch iTunes, then connect your iPhone to the computer.
When prompted, confirm that you trust the computer.
