I don't often use iMessage on my Mac because of the syncing problems, but occasionally when I do use it, I receive a delayed iMessage, like really delayed. I just got one today that was sent 11 days ago! And it happened to be a rather time-sensitive message that I would've loved to respond to within, say, a day of when I got it. Why does this happen and can I fix it?
Info:
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.2
I have Mac (so x 10.9 Mavericks) and iPhone 4
I can use my iMessages on my iPhone but it not work on my Mac
it say:
It was not possible to connect to iMessages.
An error occurred during activation. Try again
i now the password is right i try again a lot
my network work fine but the iMessage not work
Why can't I login to iMessages from my Mac? It just started all of a sudden, all my iMessage conv's are offline. I tried but get an error message that states "Your Apple ID "xxxxxxxx" can't be used to set up iMessage at this time" and then a customer code to contact apple.

I just bought a brand new mac book pro laptop (10.9.4) and have been trying for weeks to get my iMessages to work on it. Things I've tried:
old mac:
1. I've completely removed my icloud account on my old laptop. with a reboot.
New mac:
1. Completely removed iMessages on my new laptop with a reboot (a few times, and tried to reset everything in sync with my iPhone)
2. Signed in and out of the iCloud. removed my iCloud account and reset it up again.
3. signed in/out of my iMessages account (whilst rebooting and also tried doing that while my phone was off)
Iphone:
1. Signed off, signed on my iPhone.
2. logged out in airplane mode, then logged back on and re-added my iMessage account on my iPhone.
Info:
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
I have the correct password obviously because I'm logged in here. Haven't changed a thing recently but it stopped working. I have tried rebooting, using multiple WiFi networks, and various other things.
View 5 Replies View RelatedA few weeks ago iMessage on my Mac started doing an annoying thing where all my outgoing iMessages are blank, but the incoming messages are fine. So I can't see my side of any conversation. But I can see both sides properly on iOS (iPhone and iPad). So if someone starts messaging me when I am on my laptop, I have to have my phone turned on too so I can follow the conversation properly, as all of my replies are disappearing the instant I hit return to send them.

I believe this acts differently on the iPad and the iPhone.

I recently bought a 2014 iMac (21.5) inch 16GB machine. I'm going batty with it randomly freezing (beach ball) once every 2-4 days for no apparent reason. I've even looked at console logs and can't figure out. I've resetted SMC/PV(whatever), even reinstalled Mavericks (using a clean bootable drive). We use the iMac for two main purposes: Plex Media streaming (once a day really) and we use Juniper VPN to connect to our corporate network (which explains why you see juniper there)

My mac mail will not download mails newer than 30 days to my inbox.
Mails older than 30 days are downloading fine from my godaddy IMAP account.
I tried on another mac with the same result! Using another mail client than Apple mail or iOS mail on my phone works fine so the issue seems to be related to the Apple mail client (and/or iCloud?!).
Sent mails are synced OK so it is only an inbox related issue.
Rebuilding the mail database does not work. What to do next ?!

I have a Hotmail account linked to my MacBook Pro and iPhone 5S and have recently upgraded to OS X 10.9.4...Each day now I notice that I have unread email notifications for my hotmail email account, and have to scroll back days or weeks to find and delete them. They are always duplicates of emails which I've already seen (as opposed to emails arriving much later than they were sent).

I have a problem with files and folders being "paralyzed" on my desktop. I can't move files or folders and I cannot upload a file from the desktop. Basically, the desktop is broken.
I just upgraded to Lion yesterday, but that has not fixed the problem.
When I turn on the computer, Safari automatically opens to [URL].... I know nothing about this site. I have, previously, set my Safari/Preferences to open to a different site. That used to work.
WORSE ... sometimes when turning on the computer, the screen gets stuck on the big wave open background. Only the very top toolbar for Finder opens. But Desktop icons do not appear. And the mouse is inoperable. I have to manually turn off the computer, turn it back on ... and then, sometimes (not sure how consistent this is), it automatically opens to Safari on that Trusteer website (that I have never, to my knowledge, accessed).
I took this problem once before to this community. Was given instructions to do a Safe Boot, which I did. It was not supposed to fix the problem. But after I did it, the problem seemed to go away... for a while. It's back now.
I also did a Disk Utility Repair of the HD.
I have not clicked on anything in that Trusteer page because I don't trust it. It looks legitimate. Is it?
This problem, by, the way, only began after I upgraded to Mavericks. I don't recall how long it was before the problem started after upgrading. Probably a couple of weeks.
I just noticed there is a shared server/ network listed in Finder, but I do not recognise it and cannot connect to it.

I've HAD IT with SPAM. My mailbox constantly fills with SPAM—I've had to install filtering software to even be able to see legit messages. My Vonage line receives 20 times the number of robotic SPAM calls than legit calls. And NOW I've started getting SPAM messages on the Messages app.
I had thought there was a way to tell Messages not to allow folks who aren't in my address book to send me messages, but I don't find any such option in preferences. Is there such an option? Even brain-deal AOL Messenger and Skype have this option.
On my dock the message icon is showing 1 unread message. I click and it comes up saying I have an unread message from a number I have no knowledge of. I click on this and it just opens up the messages app on the last received message. I do not have a text from the number and question so can't view or delete it.

After downloading a few new apps tonight, both off the App Store and Safari, I noticed that s6761bm0t3r1 had been newly listed under shared.
One of the apps i downloaded ended up changing my homepage and search engine which was annoying but not too unusual.
After changing things back to usual I went to look through finder to see if anything unwanted had been downloaded and that's when i noticed it. I know it's not my printer because i turned my printer on and it showed up under a different nameI have never had any other machines connect like this to my mac that i know of besides my printerWhen i try to click more info it just keeps on fetching and won't show anythingWhen i try to double click on it it tries to connect and soon after says Connection failedI don't know if it's from something i downloaded but I first noticed it immediately afterwards so I'm thinking it is

I offered to help out with my friend's spyware-ridden Dell Dimension 5000. I went to his house and reinstalled windows with the original disks and used the driver disks included. Everything works, except he has no sound from his speakers or headphone jack, which had both been working only a few hours previous. Needless to say he is quite angry with me, and I am pretty desperate for a solution. I don't have the computer specs with me, but if some information is needed I can easily phone him to ask.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently found out about imessage for my macbook and have downloaded it from the apple website. However, I cannot use it because I do not have version 10.7? I have looked under "About this Mac" and apparently I have version 10.6.8. Is there no version of imessages that is compatible with my existing version? And if I have to have version 10.7 does that mean I have to purchase Mac OS X Lion?

First I signed in with the wrong Apple ID. Now I'm actually logged into iCloud with the same Apple ID on both my Mac and my iPhone. Parenthetically, I would like to wonder out loud how synchronization of addresses, calendar items and notes ever happened before, with mismatched Apple IDs.
The problem is that I don't see that the iMessages I send in Messages on the Mac are mirrored in Messages on my iPhone. It makes me wonder, whether this is beta behavior or whether I still don't have everything configured correctly.
