My issue so far is, I keep entering the username and Password that I use for my Apple Acct and it keeps prompting me for my password over and over again, even though I know I have it correct.

Has anyone experienced this? and did you find a fix?

You really want to use Facebook for Texting or IMing? Why? When you can use the same exact programs on all your devices and all the info is instantly on your iPhone, iPad and now your Mac as well. Seems pretty awesome to me. But then again I’m not addicted to FB either.

Zak,

If you want your messages consolidated so you receive the same thing from your iPhone AND your Mac, then you will have to change your caller id on your phone from your phone number to your Apple ID. This will sync all of your messages but all of your friends will now see you as your Apple ID (unless they add your ID to your contact so just your name shows up then). Here’s the thread… http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4196?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

for the most part it works great, but maybe you can help me with this. I also have an iPhone 4, and i use iMessages on it every day. when i go to sign in to i messages on my computer, it’s as if there are 2 different iMessages accounts. The conversations are not the same, for example when i say something off my computer to a friend, it comes up as my apple ID, is there a way to get it to come up as my regular phone number, or at least some how so people know it is still me?

I have de same issue.. if I send an iMessage from my phone, it doesn’t pop-up in my mac, cause it sending over the “telephone number”.. and if I´m sending from my mac, it will appear in my iPhone but not in the same conversation as if i was texting someone, instead it’s use my email address as the “sender” not my ordinary phone number…
how should a do? or if you can’t do anything, I would say that iMessage to mac aren’t that good as it could be..

Does anyone know how to disable chat logging? My Gtalk automatically logs on the web, so I don’t care to have a local copy stored on my computer.

If an iOS device isn’t receiving messages from the Mac App, try adding the Apple ID to iMessages on the iOS device.

I am having issues with message. Since Message does not have an integrated mobile number to it it is not pushing conversations to my phone and vice versa to my mac. Both my mac and iPhone have the same emails linked to them, but it is still not working as advertised. Anyone having the same issues?

But you already have services such as Facebook that serve for the purpose.
