iMessage for PC?

HI,

You could make a request in the free text area of this page http://www.apple.com/feedback/messages.html

You will not get an answer but sheer numbers can have an effect over time.

Messages on a Mac will also do GoogleTalk/Hangouts if your Apple Friends add the ID as an Account in Messages.

Humm,

Not very secure and not cheap as you have to buy the PC.

Hi,

In the original question is seems implied that the person might have a PC but they would need to buy the Mac in this case.

Also as that Question was 3 years ago I suspect they have found another answer.

Hi,

There have been several spam links in this Thread.

I have ask the Host to also close/Archive it to stop further posts but they seem to have chosen not to.

However you have posted linked to thatxgreenxgirl's original Post and presuming she is a she, has never posted a spam link.

If you could reply to the Post with the Link in it then Level 2 posters and above can report it to the Hosts.

Hi,

With a very long thread the Threaded View gets lost and all posts are as far left as the Original.

However the "In Response to" info changes when you post to a particular post.

As you say the Links are at least dodgy if not outright spam.

There are some that the Hosts (Moderators) have removed. (The reply numbers do not match those you can read.)

The earliest seems to be the 14th Sept 2014 by AndyGothika

they are spread throughout the thread.

HI,

This thread is over three years old.

In all that time Apple have not produced iMessages for PC/Windows or any other platform (Apart from the iOS which it was on before the Mac version).

As detailed on the 26th all replies look like they are connected/replying to the Original due to the indentation in certain views being overridden by the thread length.

Anything you read elsewhere is unlikely to have any truth to the information shown.

Please people do not trust this link, i know this is under my name but I didn't post this link. I don't know exactly how this was done, but i know it was NOT me!!! I believe the site collects your information if you click on it...

Could a mod remove the answer please?

I doubt that after 3 years and countless dodgy leads that thatxgreenxgirl is actually interested any more.

Using Chrome Remote Desktop

1. Download and install Chrome Remote Desktop on both the Windows and Mac PCs
2. On the Mac go to Remote Desktop extension and note the access code. You need this code to create the connection
3. Now open the Chrome Remote Desktop app on your PC
4. Provide the access code by opening Remote Desktop extension
5. Once connected, you see a screen that shows your Mac desktop
6. Now use iMessage remotely from this PC

Reminder: You need access to a Mac computer when implementing this method. And that Mac must be turned ON. Otherwise, this tip won’t work.

I have a pc and I have skype, viber, hangouts, whatsapp, and facebook messenger, which I use a lot. But I have a few friends who only use apple products, and so they aren't on any third party messaging services, and so I have to use imessage on my phone to talk to them. I wish I could respond on my pc too.

Sorry, but after doing a research I found out that it's not possible to use iMessage on PC. I wouldn't trust any third party with this. See also this accountWiki link for more info https://www.accountwiki.net/imessage-online-login-sign-in-to-imessage-online.htm l

You can install Parallels or VMware Fusion and install on it mac OS to use iMessages.

Wow.. just reading the text (grammar) on that site throws up warning signs. There must be some technical issue for it not being available on Windows machines. Most likely because it would open a hole for hackers to abuse, since it would be on an ecosystem other than Apples.

I wouldn't trust it. Anyone using that is asking for trouble. Look up the definition of PWN'd

Buy the PC?? I thought the whole purpose of this discussion is you have a PC already and you want to use iMessage??

MAC is at home and me and my iPhone are at work. But instead of using my iphone to imessage I want to use my work PC. My solution allows you to do that.

Hi,

There is no PC Windows equivalent.
