TS2755 Message on Mountain Lion versus FaceTime

Why is message on Mountain Lion defaulting to Facetime instead of the good old iChat style 4 way video conferencing.
Why is the Invite to Video Chat greyed out?

When I click on the messages icon it says; talk.google.com Password
Messages can’t log in to ........ ( my email address) because your login ID or password is incorrect.
Thanks

After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?

After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?

I have reinstalled mountain Lion again . This time, Facetime works when somebody calls me, and I can do calls from my Mac again. But the problem was still that I was not able to call my iPad, what I was able to do with Lion (I had one Apple-ID and two call adresses). The solution was this time to generate a second Apple-ID from the Facetime in my Mac (this doesn't affect your main Apple-ID, it's only used for Facetime). Now, it works! ;-)

Two attempts to send a message in Mountain Lion

Hi all. A question regarding messages in Mountain Lion. When I open up Messages and send a message to an imessage contact, it always takes two attempts to send the initial message. Any messages after that go instantly.
If I then send a message to a different imessage recipient once again it takes two attempts to send on the initial message.
Anyone having the same issues?

Mountain Lion Versus Adobe Acobat

How does Mountain Lion handle PDF documents versus Abobe Acrobat?

I do enjoy Preview very much and its usefulness and integration with iCloud very much. And while Preview has the ability to open and view pdfs and make very basic annotations; I am going to have to say this: (and this is leaning more to be true than my opinion); a person still needs to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. Unfortornate but true. Most people will either have Adobe Acrobat Reader version 9.5.x or Adobe Acrobat Reader version 10.1.x or what ever the latest version is out this week - installed on a person's OS X computer, is. It also depends if the person has upped the version from version 9 to 10. Some people do not know version 10 is available. Also both versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader do not show up in Apple's Activity Monitor as being either 64 bit or 32 bit... so I am not sure if the application is still running at 32 bit, while Apple's Preview application does show up as being 64 bit in Apple's Activity Monitor. (What is up with that?)
There is also huge benefit and advantage in owning Adobe Professional Accrobat, however Adobe Professional Accrobat it is ridicioucly overpriced, and only marginally better from version to version. Not to mention Adobe Acrobat Professional is not located on the Mac App Store; (neither is Adobe Acrobat Reader for that matter).
While the professional program has gotten marginally better with more frills while eliminating packaging costs, shiping costs, merchant costs, return costs, etc the savings is not caryied over to the consumer. Instead it has only increased, which is ridiculous since companies are saving alot more now than before. Especially since everything is going by means of a download from either one's own digital store or another compay's digital store.The cost to the consumers has increased (even though companies use to sell their products at multiple stores and at multiple outlets. This is the very thing companies like Adobe, and Microsoft just do not understand, and as a result their loosing a share of their market because they are not giving better customer service, by making their products less costly to the consumer and not having their products available at various exchanges or markets. Before the consumer got good service from the brick and mortar sales associates. But it is going to more of a ideology that they do not need the middle man. Unfortnatelly the middle man is always needed, just now it is in a different way - having software available at various digital stores is not only a convience to customers but acts as a sort of middle man.
While Apple's customer service has grown because of their online digital store and is always getting better because of their online store, Adobe's ability to connect with customers, and give better deserving service to their customer has shrunk because Adobe wants their product sold only at their own store, and not at other exchanges, other digital stores, or other outlets, let alone the consumer's do not have that convience any more.
As for handeling pdf documents, it really comes down to Adobe (its their own product) and how well they cooperate with Apple.

Messages on Mountain Lion not working

The iMessage Beta worked fine on Lion (except for the delays, sometimes, but hey, it's a beta). After upgrading to Mountain Lion, however, I'm unable to authenticate, send and receive messages.
I've found that running a PRAM reset (pressing a combination of keys when booting) does fix the problem, but it only works temporarily (until the next boot).
I already tried removing all plist-files, doesn't work. Every fix I found (that is: PRAM reset and booting in Safe-mode) only works one "session" (until I reboot).
When trying to sign in, it hangs for about a minute, and then says it "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.". I already tried turning off my WiFi, and it still hangs and gives this timeout error (so regardless of wether it's actually supposed to try to sign in).
My console shows the following errors:
When delivery fails (that is always, unless I booted in Safe-mode or performed a PRAM reset) and I get this red exclamation mark:
imagent: [Warning] FTMessageDelivery failed! Error (APSErrorDomain:1): Unable to send outgoing message to apsd: (ipc/send) invalid destination port (null)
This always shows up, about 20 times per actual iMessage I tried to send.
When signing in fails (that is always, unless I booted in Safe-mode or performed a PRAM reset)
imagent: [Warning] *** Listener ID: com.apple.dock.extra does not have capability: (Chats), not allowing request
Followed by a backtrace of the internal calls in imagent. However, this (both the backtrace and the warning above) do not always show up in my logs.
Based on the fact that it's working fine on my iPhone and iPad, and it's working fine too on the other Macs in the same WiFi network, I don't think it's a router firewall issue.
Based on the fact that I do not have any firewall (nor the built-in one) running, I don't think it's that it's a local firewall issue either. I already checked my hosts-file, nothing there (except for the default localhost routes).
Apple is working on better unified support in iOS 6, don't know if that solves my problem, but personally, I don't think that would really make sense (since it's definitely a local system issue).
I hope I provided you with enough information, but if you need more, don't hesitate to ask me .
I really hope you can point me to a permanent fix! Thanks in advance guys!

Hi,
I would have opened Messages > Preferences > Accounts and deactivated the iMessages account (Untick the Enable this account)
Then Quit Messages.
The Restart Messages and then restart the Account.
A Re-install would do it but is an awfully big hammer to use.

Messages on Mountain Lion: 2 separate accounts, but not working separately?

On my iMac, I've been using Messages to text others with Messages. I use my Apple ID email address for this.
Recently, another family member (who shares the computer) wanted to set up their own Messages account. I set it up (thinking I was doing it correctly). However, it appears that all messages are always using MY message id.
Does there have to be another apple ID for the second Message account?
While it gives the option to "start new messages using" the second account, when that person uses it, it appears that MY icon and account are being used. They always set it to use their message account to start messages. They set up their own icon and that's how we realized what is happening.
All the messages that go to that person, seem to be using MY account, my message "i.d." and email address.
I'm sure I did something wrong. When I disable my account, NO messages can come through.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

Hi,
No Problem.
You used to be able to post pics by HTML which meant you circumvented the need to click pics to see them active.
Glad you liked it.

Can't screen share in messages osx mountain lion

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have been unable to connect to someone else's computer via Messages and share their screen. I use this to help my parents with computer problems.
I have checked, and their "capabilities" do not show screen sharing, but I never had a problem with this before. Any suggestions?

Is there a way to refresh Messages in Mountain Lion?

I have noticed a reoccurring issue in regards to the Messages app in Mountain Lion. It often times does not sync messages correctly. Or sometimes it has a long delay for receiving messages, and out of order. The messages app for ios has a pull down to refresh option, is there any similar feature for the Mac OS version? If there currently is how do you force a refresh?

HI,
At present the Out of Order iMessages is a "known Issue".
The current best "fix" is to relaunch the app after an sync period has caught up.

Need to delete an unsent message in Mountain Lion Mail

I attempted to send a mass e-mail in Mountain Lion mail to over 300 recipients. The application would not let me do so, so I broke the mailing list up into smaller lists and sent multiple e-mails, which worked. But now mail constantly notifies me that it cannot send the original e-mail to the multiple recipients. Is there any way to delete this message? It doesn't show up in the drafts or sent files, nor in the folders on the iCloud server.

Initially it wasn't showing up in drafts, but after quitting and restarting the application it appeared there and I was able to delete it. Thanks!

How are we able to sign out of Messages on Mountain Lion?

I want to sign out with the apple ID associated with Messages and sign in with a new one. Any Ideas?

HI all,
The Preferences are in the Message Menu (like most apps).
That is to say the current "Front" app gets listed next to the Apple Icon top left and this is a menu which you can click to drop down and Preferences is an option in there.
In Message Menu > Preferences > Accounts select the iMessages Account.
The default is that on first start up of Message it will ask you to create an iMessage Account using an Apple ID which then appears at the top of the list before it picks up on (what were) iChat Accounts names that are in System Preference > Mail, Contacts and Calendars.
However not everyone does this so it may not be top of the List (your can also re-order the by dragging the accounts about the list).
There is a Sign Out button in view if you are at OS X 10.8.2 (Messages Ver 7.0.1)
Use the Sign Out Button.
It will not hurt to also Untick the "Enable this Account" box.
Messages can then be restarted and will not have an active iMessage account.

TS2755 imessages on mountain lion does not show same conversations as iPhone using same iCloud account

Just got macbook pro with Mountain Lion installed. Have had an iphone for years and like using Messages as text client on the phone. I have both iphone and macbook connecting to same Apple ID account, but all of the conversations I have on my iphone are not showing up on my macbook - isn't this supposed to work?

You should check the iMessage settings on both your devices. Make sure you have identical receive addresses on both. That way you get iMessages sent to your phone number and email (if you use that) delivered to both. For example, if you have a "receive email" on yourMac and iPhone and you don't have your "receive phone number" set on your Mac, then iMessages sent to your email from another person will appear on both devices and iMessages sent to your phone number will only appear on your iPhone.

Buddy List in Messages after Mountain Lion upgrade?

I can't seem to view my buddy list in Messages after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I used to be able to view in iChat before the upgrade. Anybody know how?

Select Window/Buddies.

Can't receive iMessages via Messages on Mountain Lion? However, can send.

This seems to be intermittent. At some point Messages stops receiving iMessages. It stops even showing me the iMessages I send from Messages. They are in fact sent though. I can see them on my iPhone and iPad and have confirmed the recipient receives them.
If I remove my account and add it back that sometimes takes care of it. However, it's just a matter of time (usually a day or two) before it stops working again. This is really frustrating. I stopped using Me years ago and this is my first experience trusting Apple with a messaging service again. It's like returning to an abusive relationship! Please help!

Hi,
There is an issue that sometime crops up in both iChat and Messages where the individual IMs (or iMessages) don't show up in the Chat even though the chat is progression.
If this describes what is happening to you then go to the View Menu > Messages and change th Style choice to anything but Balloons. (Only change this when the Chat window is "Front")
Does this improve things ?
The Message Style are controlled by Plug-ins.
It is not clear what happens to the Balloon one but often people have the symptoms you describe.
Up to iChat 5 (in Snow Leopard) you could use the Install disk to reinstall just iChat and then re-update it by running the combo version of the last update (iChat and Messages updates are included in the OS X updates)
I would try Downloading and Installing the Combined version of the last OS X Update over what you have.

Downgrade Messages in Mountain Lion

I recently upgraded to mountain lion yesterday, and i want to know if it is possible to downgrade Messages to iChat because it has been giving me many problems, and i also do not like the UI such as i cannot see my buddy list at all times.

Messages is basically iChat (Version 6.0.1). It's like iCal and Calendar. Same app, newer version. Unfortunately you won't be able to use the older iChat versions on Mountain Lion. I just pulled it out of a time machine backup to see if it would work for you, but it doesn't!

No Phone Number for messages on Mountain Lion

I updated to 10.8 mountain lion today. when i message people from my mac it comes up with my email address on the recipents iphone? is it possible to change this so it uses my mobile number instead?
Thanks

Only when iOS 6 comes out and gives you the ability to officially use your phone number for iMessages (instead of just for iPhones, as it is now).
So when iOS 6 comes out, this issue will resolved.
So yes, they are working on it and a fix is coming out soon.
