What happened to my "Message Window" in iMessage on my Mac?

I'm not sure when this happened, but now when I open iMessage on my Mac, I don't get the full Message Window. I can only see my most recent conversation. Gone are the list of names in the right column. I cannot start a new conversation. I cannot click on a friends name to see my past conversation because the names are not there. I can only see the most recent conversation. I can't find anything in preferences to fix this. And I cannot find any help online. Does anyone know what's going on?

Hi,
In the Resetting Doc that Apple published it does say you end up with two Keychains.
Items not related to the issues are supposed to be moved from the Old to the New.
This creates a Blank keychain in effect but keeps the other on view but inactive.
For the most part you can copy across the items not dealing with Messages to the new Keychain
However, as you say, they will be recreated if you re-enter the info for the accounts in various apps.
In same cases there are cross overs between Accounts used in Mail and those that can be used in Messages.
A Google mail ID can be activated at Google fro Google Talk and used in Messages as the Google ID
It may well be your Apple ID as well and possibly be used in the iMessages account.
Apple IDs issued by Apple such as @mac.com and iCloud linked @me.com and @icloud.com ones can be used as the iMessages Apple ID AND as AIM (AOL) valid Screen Names.
You can have an Apple ID for iCloud and another for iTunes and yet another for iMessages and a yet another for FaceTime and so on.
Most likley the iCloud one is being used in Mail.
In my case my Original Apple ID comes from a Dial-up account and is linked with iCloud that then gave me an @me.com email address and then later an @iCloud.com one.
I use the Original as the iCloud login in oand in iMessages but use the @me.com name part in Mail ans the Original is still a valid email from the suppliers of the Dial up service.
It was these cross over areas around some IDs/names that I was alluding to with:-
Anything that lists any Account used in Messages such as a Google ID or an AIM Screen Name should be left along for the moment.
Was this why the Mail info was not moved across ?
The iMessages account needs the Serial Number on the Mac to be read and it then creates the Auth token for the account
It will start IDS: the your Apple ID followed by the dash and Auth Token.
These I did suggest to leave in the old Keychain so that restarting Messages and Logging in the iMessages account created a new one.
This is an independent, Application specific password for iMessages not matter where else you use the Apple ID.
It should not matter if the Apple ID in question is your iCloud listed ID, your iTunes one or a Mail one.
Does this have any bearing as to where you are up to ?
I would for the moment create another Mac User Account (System Preferences > Users and Groups)
If your current Mac Login is an Admin account make the new one the same.
Log out and then into the new account and set up the Contacts app (the My card needs a name) and iMessages within Messages.
This should show that the messages app is working or not.
If the App is not working in another Mac User account then the Whole OS needs to be Restored as this is the only way to replace some of the Apple Apps.

EWS: EmailMessage.Body.BodyType can be either of HTML or Text. What happens to RTF messages?

Hello,
EmailMessage.Body.BodyType can be either of HTML or Text. I know that Outlook can create RTF messages. So what happens when a message includes an RTF body?
Thank you,

If the Message was created with in Outlook with the RTF editor what happens when you access the Message using EWS is that the Exchange Store will do a onthefly content conversion of Message body and provide you with HTML or Text. Simulary if a Message
is sent with the text only body when you request the HTML body for this message the Exchagne Store will return a converted body for you. If you want the RTF body you can get it from the PR_RTF_COMPRESSED extended property. (if the body was converted from
another format whether it was to or from html to RTF there should be meta tags left in the content to indicate that).
Cheers
Glen

HT2500 what happens to draft messages after hitting send?

what happens to draft messages after hitting send?

Actually you can change it. Bring up the message and hit 'Message. > send again > and with the message ready to send you can rephrase it to your hearts content. Then resend.

Of course, you also end up with two messages

What happened to my messages page on the website and why do i now have integrated messaging?

What happened to my messages page on Verizon's website. I used to be able to sit at the computer and text back and forth to whomever I wanted, just like texting from my phone but now it's gone and now it's been replaced with integrated messaging, which I have no use for. Is there anyway I can get the other messaging page back?

I'm sorry you are no longer able to use the messaging page froggy0412. We are unable to bring back the previous messaging online option. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

What happened to the Activity window in Safari?

there is no more Activity window in Safari. What happened and how can I geet it back?

In Safari 6 in preferences you navigate to the advanced menu and click on the "Show develop menu in menu bar" and you should be able to see much of what is in the page. It certainly is not what we are used to and there are certainly a number of strange changes i am not sure developers have tested on the average user before implementing.

Swapping drive from old Mac to new Mac - What happens to boot camp/Windows?

Hello,
The HDD that was in my Late 2008 Macbook will be going into a Late 2008 Macbook Pro with discrete GPU. The HDD already had Bootcamp installed, with Windows XP, and all of my programs.
I understand that OSX may not boot up right away with the new Mac, and I may have to run the install disks from the new Mac, and it should keep the applications/files/settings intact from the previous installation (thank you forums for telling me this)
What happens to bootcamp/Windows? I'd like for all of my applications and files to remain in tact. The partition and file system should be fine, but will I run into any issues since I'm moving to slightly different hardware? Will I have to reinstall the boot camp drivers? Reinstall of Windows?
I don't mind reinstalling Windows or Boot Camp drivers if necessary, but my priority is to keep all of the files and applications intact upon re installation.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Unfortunately my older MacBook is no longer accessible (long story) and I have no other Macs to test/clone this one on until this Tuesday when the Pro arrives.
I have the XP discs here. I guess in short, I'll just have to wait and see how XP behaves and try to fix as needed.
I was running 10.5.7 on the MacBook. I don't know what the Pro will ship with (its a Refurb from Apple Store) - http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB471LL/A?mco=MjE0NjE5MA
Thanks for your help.

HT1229 What happens to photos in an album in iPhoto on Mac when upgrading to Yosemite.

What happens to all the photos in iPhoto when upgrading to Yosemite. My pictures are in an album to be made into a photobook with Shutterfly or another service but it is not entirely ready to go. I would not want to loose this album, took me a long time to gather all these pictures (over 200) , edit them and write captions. I understand that Yosemite will eliminate iPhoto. However, I want to know if they will delete iPhoto even if I do not upgrade as yet.

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

In Synch comm, what happens to response message if sender fails?

Hi All,
I have came up with the following question:
I have a synchronous scenario type: WS -> PI -> Proxy.
Lets say that the external system is able to consume the Web Service, and send the data to PI, and from there to the SAP ERP. SAP ERP starts processing the message (calling function, BAPIs, etc). During that execution the external system for some how cuts its connection (session) to the WS that PI is exposing.
What will happen then?
In SAP ERP I will have some processes that were executed, the response message will be sent back to PI, but not to the legacy system. So the data will not be consistent, as ERP was able to perform its process but the Legacy system will never know that these were done, so I will have an unbalanced scenario.
One of my questions is, will SAP ERP know that the connection between the legacy system and PI was cut, and there for ERP will stop, cancel or not perform its processes?
If the response message was sent back to PI by the ERP, but this message could not reach the legacy system. How can we let know the legacy system that ERP did all of its processes and that it should "update" their data according to the response message sent by ERP?
As we all know, we can not re-process a synchronous message. So, what will be the best way to mantaining the consistency of the DATA between the two systems (ERP - Legacy)?
Thanks and regards,
Felipe

One of my questions is, will SAP ERP know that the connection between the legacy system and
PI was cut, and there for ERP will stop, cancel or not perform its processes?
There is a possibility of triggering an alert when your Target system is down (i suppose this is what you mean when you say connection is cut)....the udf can be implemented in a mapping.....just check the blog:
/people/bhavesh.kantilal/blog/2006/07/25/triggering-xi-alerts-from-a-user-defined-function
from the blog:
We can use this code in the Exception Handler block of the try u2013 catch block of the code to
publish the JMS message, and, whenever the JMS service was down, the Exception handler block is
called and the Alert is triggered to the Operations Support team.
check if this suits your requirement

Existing storage spaces: what happens if I reinstall Windows?

Hi everybody, I'm considering using Windows 8 "storage
spaces" to combine two external disks with 2-way mirroring. What will happen if, for some reason, my OS disk is no longer available. How will a fresh
installation of Windows 8 react to an existing storage space? Will it automatically recognise the storage space or does the storage space configuration rely on state stored on the OS disk?
Thank you!
Daniele

An answer to your SQLJ question:
The JDeveloper 2.0 Beta (=EAP) version has the 8.1.4 version of

What happens with the message

Hi there,
Could anyone point me in the right direction on where to get a documentation describing in DETAIL and step-by-step what is going on with the message inside BTS ?
1. Receive port is receiving a FLAT file or an XML...
2. What's next...
3....

It depends on your Business requirement but basic flow can be like this
Receive Port: listens for messages.
Adapters information interchange with external systems
Pipeline, dis-assembler and sub-components: normalizing the schemas (wire message in its native format) of the internal messages using XML as the common language.
MessageBox: internal XML messages are published here and then are further consumed by Subscribers.
Subscribers (Send Port and Orchestration components): subscribe to internal messages per metadata or message context properties.
When the subscribed orchestration finishes processing the internal messages are re-published in the MessageBox to be consumed by other subscribers.
Send Port: consumes the internal XML messages, converts them to a wire messages through the associated pipeline and subcomponent Assembler.
Finally the adapter is used to convey the wire message to the target system.
You can also analyze the Message tracking to get the required information
Thanks
Abhishek

Mail app - what happens to deleted messages?

Hi guys, so it's first thing in the morning, I'm checking my email, and I accidentally delete a message. After wishing, for the thousandth time, that Mail had an "undo" button, I look in the trash, but it's not there. I open Mac Mail, and look in its trash. Not there. (Isn't that what the trash is for?) It was kind of an important message, and I accidentally deleted it, with seemingly no way to recover. Where did that message go?
Thanks!!
iPod Touch (presumably would also apply to iPhone)
IOS 5.1.1
IMAP
Gmail

Look at the numbers to the right of a message: for example:
The 2▶ with the disclosure triangle indicates, that there are two messages in this thread and pressing the space bar will advance to the next message in this list of two messages - at least it does for me. To see all messages in this list, press the triangle behind the "2".

What happened to my VMWare & Windows XP??

Just bought and set up a 15" rMBP by backing up from a time machine from my 2010 MBP running Snow Leopard. I selected to transfer all my Applications. Now the rMBP is telling me that it could not load VMWare Fusion? Has anyone else had this problem? What was the resolution?
Thanks!
Mark

ok, nevermind option 2. I downloaded and tried to install VMware 6 on the new rMBP and it's asking for a key. Or i can purchase one online. Wait a minute here, I already purchased a key when I installed VMware originally back in 2009 for a 13" Macbook, which I then transferred to a new 2010 15" MBP when I upgraded a year later.
So - do I need to purchase VMware 6 again to get Windows on my new rMBP?? Also, I'm assuming I'll need to purchase Windows 7? And I can kiss my Windows XP (as well as Office XP) goodbye?? This is not exactly as nice as I pictured things to be.
The more and more I'm running into roadblocks I'm thinking of just returning this rMBP and just use my 2010 MBP until the screws fall out.

What happened to the Finder Window?

Tonight I found that my Finder is not working the way it did the last time I looked. Before, when I clicked on the Finder icon in the dock, the Finder Window would open on the left side of the screen. Now, it opens as a window that looks more like a search windown and is spread across the screen. The folders and files the once were easy to find, as they were in simple hirarcial order, are limited and no longer useful.
I went back and set up the Finder with the files that I want displayed, but that did not change the Finder back to the vertical window on the left side of the screen showing the folders and files I want displayed.
To my knowledge, no software changes were made. I did just put in a new power adaptor cord and a new battery since the original is six years old.
Can anyone tell me how to restore the Finder Window?

To restore the sidebar, click the little lozenge-shaped grey button at the top right of the window.
