I have recently found out about imessage for my macbook and have downloaded it from the apple website. However, I cannot use it because I do not have version 10.7? I have looked under "About this Mac" and apparently I have version 10.6.8. Is there no version of imessages that is compatible with my existing version? And if I have to have version 10.7 does that mean I have to purchase Mac OS X Lion?
I have been trying to send iMessages lately, but I keep getting a little Not Delivered notice in red with an exclamation mark next to my message. I have tried to log out and back in with my apple id but only to encounter the same problem. I have also tried rebooting but still with not success.
I recently got a 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina Display (The Lastest Model) which is registered with iMessage. I got this laptop about 10 weeks ago and all 10 weeks the iMessages has been able to send and receive messages very quickly. I don't know what happened, but a few hours ago my MacBook just crashed trying to open iMessages and it wouldn't turn on for 3 hours and it was burning. I don't see why it dashed because this Mac has 512 GB of storage, a 2.6 GHz dual-core Intel i5 with 8 GB of Ram. It is a 13.3" Model running on OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 and is pretty much brand new. I have been keeping track of how many times the iMessages app crashes and how many times I force quit it...
Crashes: 428 Force Quits: 398
So don't tell me to force suit this thing because I did almost 400 times...
I don't like that they automatically come to the computer even if the messages app isn't open. I've looked through preferences and I don't see a way to change this.
I am getting this message when I try to open the "messages" on my macbook pro: "An internal Messages error occurred." It doesn't give me anymore information and tells me I have to quit the program and restart. I do so and still get the same response. I have updated to the latest version of Yosemite and restarted the computer. This is a new issue that just arose today when I turned on my computer. I have been using messages, including the new text forwarding feature flawlessly since Yosemite's release and even before that for iMessages with mavericks.
Why can't I login to iMessages from my Mac? It just started all of a sudden, all my iMessage conv's are offline. I tried but get an error message that states "Your Apple ID "xxxxxxxx" can't be used to set up iMessage at this time" and then a customer code to contact apple.
First I signed in with the wrong Apple ID. Now I'm actually logged into iCloud with the same Apple ID on both my Mac and my iPhone. Parenthetically, I would like to wonder out loud how synchronization of addresses, calendar items and notes ever happened before, with mismatched Apple IDs.
The problem is that I don't see that the iMessages I send in Messages on the Mac are mirrored in Messages on my iPhone. It makes me wonder, whether this is beta behavior or whether I still don't have everything configured correctly.
I have the correct password obviously because I'm logged in here. Haven't changed a thing recently but it stopped working. I have tried rebooting, using multiple WiFi networks, and various other things.
A few weeks ago iMessage on my Mac started doing an annoying thing where all my outgoing iMessages are blank, but the incoming messages are fine. So I can't see my side of any conversation. But I can see both sides properly on iOS (iPhone and iPad). So if someone starts messaging me when I am on my laptop, I have to have my phone turned on too so I can follow the conversation properly, as all of my replies are disappearing the instant I hit return to send them.
I recently upgraded to Mavericks (10.9.3) and iMessages no longer sync between my iPhone and my Mac Pro. I've checked the Support data base as well as Google and have followed the recommendations to check preferences on all devices and to restart all devices, but that doesn't seem to have solved the problem. Messages being sent from my iPhone 4S simply don't show up on my Mac.
Info: OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), 20 GB RAM, 1 TB system volume
I set up my new iMac but with an old ID which is linked to me, my Mums and my Dads phone! I made a new apple ID earlier, and linked iCloud to the new ID but our iMessages are still all linked to the old ID! So how do I change iMessages on my mac from the old ID to my new one?
I don't often use iMessage on my Mac because of the syncing problems, but occasionally when I do use it, I receive a delayed iMessage, like really delayed. I just got one today that was sent 11 days ago! And it happened to be a rather time-sensitive message that I would've loved to respond to within, say, a day of when I got it. Why does this happen and can I fix it?
Suddenly the iMessage app is only displaying my own sent messages for a single, specific contact. All other conversations include both sent and received iMessages. I had blocked this contact previously for a period of time on my phone but do not remember doing anything similar on my Mac. if it's related to the contact previously having been blocked on my iPhone?
Info: MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
I installed the Messages Beta on my mac today tried sending iMessages, never worked whats worse is my iMessages on my iphone & ipad stopped working too! I can no longer send/receive iMessages!
my iMessages stopped working on my iMac but still works on my ipad. it is telling me all of my contacts are offline on my mac but on my ipad it all works fine
Info: iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
My daughter's hard drive on her macbook air became full and she was unable to iMessages sent to her. I cleaned up the HD and it now has more room. How can she recover those messages she missed the HD was full? Possible? When the HD is full do the messages still live in the "cloud?"
So last December my laptop got smashed and everything works except for the backlit screen. In fact I can still use this laptop it is just extremely hard since the screen does not light up. The person that smashed it ended up buying me a new laptop so I have this beat up (and I mean the shell is destroyed) laptop with quite a lot of functioning parts.
Now a few weeks ago my girlfriends Grandad spilled a beer on his brand new 2010 Macbook. The logic board is shot so it is almost cheaper for him to buy a brand new laptop.
Would it be possible for me to take the logic board out of my 2008 Black Macbook and put it into his 2010 White Macbook?
By far the most interesting benchmark trend coming out of the latest Macbook Air tests is that of the 320M GPU - is this thing somehow clocked differently than in the Macbook/Macbook Pro?

The latest Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 Ghz gets 33 FPS in Call of Duty 4, whereas the Macbook Air 13" (using the same 320M GPU) gets 40 FPS. Even the 1.4Ghz 11" gets 37! So obviously we're not talking about a CPU limited game - the only explanation then is that the GPU in the Macbook Air is clocked differently than in the 13" Macbook Pro, no?

Again the Macbook Air clocked at 2.13 ghz is beating the 2.4 Ghz Macbook Pro in World of Warcraft and Portal! And in WOW the 11" 1.4ghz still manages to beat the 2.4 Ghz 13" Macbook Pro.
Anyone have any additional insight into this? Anand did a terrible job of testing these for gaming performance, unfortunately, so he may not have even noticed this trend.
