Apple Releases Public Beta of New Messages App for OS X

Every device goes off when I receive a message now, and that is kinda annoying. Before, my iPad and iPhone would go off together. Apple maybe should look into device recognition, so it recognises that I'm on my mac and just updates the messages on other devices without an alert tone. Same with iPad and iPhone.
Surely this will have been thought about, given that Apple HQ is full of these devices. Their offices must have rung with sound of iDevices whilst testing this app.
Loving it though.

According to The Verge, Apple is aware of this issue. You can sort of get around it by setting your email address as the caller ID on your iPhone, but this will only work for texts people reply to.
If another iMessage user texts me from their iPhone and sends it to my phone number will it come to iMessage on my my Mac? Or do they have to send their text to my email address?
(never mind... just saw that it only works if messaged to your email.

go to the messages settings on the iPhone and log out off your apple id then it wont go off if someone writes to your iPad
I think it's mostly... what is the point of showing the mac pro? It doesn't have an integrated screen. They are showcasing the software, not the hardware. It'd be better for them to have the ACD, but that doesn't make sense either cuz why not just show an iMac. Point being, not showing a Mac Pro means nothing.
It's your setup. It's the fact that you're receiving on your phone # & and apple id. if you set your message setting on your phone for apple id only, then everything will work great. I had same problem but soon realized my error.
I'd say 99% chance is it's on purpose. Why would you want it to show up in notifications if you read the message on your mac?
There's an app for that.
iMessages on iOS needs to stay clean. OSX it makes sense.
Has anyone been stuck on the Messages Beta app when it tries to login using an Apple ID? I usually have the same problem on my iPhone and iPad but I was able to get around it by changing my DNS servers to 9.9.9.9. And I don't know if it's the same problem or since everyone is trying the app at the same time and servers are bombarded.
Your phone messages won't show on your mac if you have your iMessage caller ID on your phone set to your phone number. That phone number is not associated with your AppleID, just with your phone. You can associate other e-mail addresses with your AppleID and I have done that, since my AppleID is not the primary email address that my contacts know me by. Then I set my caller ID for iMessage on my phone to that email address list. I also set iMessage mac up to use that e-mail address by adding additional e-mail addresses in the settings. Now anyone I iMessage from my phone also shows up on my mac.
totally agree and wished this months back. would have been easy, sure not as instant but sometimes you want to just send a message to someone and easier to type on a larger keypad.
NOPE. They removed that for some odd reason. I didn't use it a lot, but it was cool. They do, however still have screen sharing.
Emoticons
Odd - If I send and emoticon from my phone it shows up as expected on my Mac. Sending form my Mac shows up on my Iphone and the text equivalent.
Must be using a different set I guess.

Well lack of MSN support will keep Adium going for at least a couple more years...
Seriously Apple if they can add msn support why can't you?
Actually iChat and now Messages supports 3rd party protocol plugins. It's quite feasable for Microsoft to write a plugin to support MSN chat but I'm sure they'd rather try to push their own dedicated client.

This would be good, for now you can simply start using Apple ID only. Tell your friends to stop iMessaging and FaceTiming your Phone# and give them your Apple ID address instead. Register the email on your phone and set it as your caller id.
