How do you use imessages on "Mountain Lion"

How do you use i-messages on Mountain Lion, Several analysis of the new operating system seem to say you can do that but I tried to send a message to my Ipod, Iphone and I-Pad from the new operating system " Mountain Lion" But I guess I got things set up wrong it did not work. I got no messages from the I-Mac.



Since I am a new I-Mac used ( Have a ipod, ipad & Iphone) would like to be able to send Imessages from my I-Mac and can't figure out how to do that. I keeps wanting to send AIM messages and when I go to change it to I Cloud mesages I don't see I-Cloud on the list???

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion

Joe thanks for the reply but I am still confused here is the problem:


I opened The accounts window and went to my ME.com account but it wants me to set up an AIM account , what is that all about . I was sure I was sending the messages thru the apple server .


Second I am a PC person and this is my wifes I-Mac, so I am new to MACS but I have used PC's for 35 years.

She wants to be able to send me I-Messages for her MAC that is why I am trying to set this up for her. She is NOT a Techie and so she depends on me. I am very confused by the MAC as I have buily trouble shoot and fixed PS (not as a profession but as a hobby) I am trying to get used to the MAC so I can help my wife. As I have an IPOD and an 4S I-Phone. Now you know the whole story. Sorry to bore you with the details but I was sure it would help you give me a better Idea of where to go to correct the AIM situation.


OK when I go to the ME.com account there is no where where I see Caller ID???


What I see is My wifes e-mail a Bonjour ( imactive) account, & Yahoo account. I may be in the wrong place


Toi be frank I don't see an Imessages account. Under mail accounts I see My wifes 5 e-mail accounts and one of them is a .ME account ( I assume that is the icloud account) but where it says account type it says AIM how do I change it to an I Cloun account?


OK the next question when you say click on the DOCK I go to system preferences and click on DOC and I get some screen that shows SIZE, Magnification Position on screen and so on.


When I go to the Finder and click on Applications I get a window that says messages but there is nothing on that window that I can adjust?
