iMessages app is missing after update of OSX to Mountain Lion

Question

I have updated my Mac Mini to Mountain Lion.

I had iMessages beta installed on OSX Lion but after upgrading it's disappeared and now I don't have any iMessages.

I checked various sources for it with no luck. I also tried to reinstall the beta, but wasn't able to do that, either.

As Jonathan said, they retitled the app to "Messages" when they went from beta. As well, they deprecated the beta with the release of the final product, so that's why you're unable to install it.

The chat tool which supports iMessage in Mountain Lion is called Messages. Try searching for "Messages" in Spotlight, and loading the application.

	Just tried no luck, it cant even find the .app file i'm bit confused where did it go after update? – codejunkie Oct 22 '12 at 14:43
	If you've just upgraded your machine, try installing all of the latest updates. "Messages" should certainly be there. – Jonathan Oct 22 '12 at 16:00
	Jonathan just tried again no luck i have no idea why it just disappeared! – codejunkie Oct 23 '12 at 11:30
	I would contact Apple support. This sounds like a problem directly caused by the installation of Mountain Lion. – Jonathan Oct 23 '12 at 12:14
