MacBook Air, iOS 9.2.1, null
Applications -> Messages
if the replacement for iChat in El Capitan.
If that is not your question, please give more details.
My computer has never changed and updated ichat to iMessage. I have had my computer for years and ichat has never transferred over. I have no imessage app on my computer, it is still under ichat. I was wondering how to change that. I thought updating with the OS X el capitan would change my ichat to imessage but it hasn't.
It is NOT iMessage. It is "Messages" No leading 'i'
El Capitan installs "Messages" in the Applications Folder.
Its icon looks like:
It can also be found via the Launchpad with the same icon show above.
You should also be able to find it via Spotlight: Command-Space -> Messages
If you still have iChat then it is something that got copied over from your previous installs. -OR- you made a copy in a folder that OS X did not expect to look inside, and thus did not remove it when installing a newer OS X release that includes "Messages".
Hi,
Where is iChat ?
If it is not in Applications (loose) then it will not be updated.
If it is not there than the Upgrade will ignore installing Messages.
What some people do is create folders within Applications to group similar apps.
Therefore they can have a "messaging" folder with MSN, Yahoo for Mac (which does not work from Yosemite On), iChat, ProteusX, AdiumX and possibly Trillian as some examples.
If this is the case then move iChat to the Applications folder and reinstall the OS
