OS X Mountain Lion :: IMessage Working On IPhone But Not On MacBook Pro Or IPad Air
Jun 19, 2014
I Am getting increasingly frustrated that iMessage is working on my iPhone but not on iPad or MacBook Pro. I have tried settings system preferences, taking jabber off etc but still no joy.
I haven't been able to send or receive iMessages on my Macbook Pro or my iPad. They do not receive any incoming messages or have the ability to send out any messages. Every time I try to send a message to a phone number REGISTERED WITH IMESSAGE, this error message pops up. Even though iMessage refuses to work on both my iPad and my Macbook, it has been working flawlessly on my iPhone. Every number that I try (and fail) to send an iMessage to on both my iPad and my Macbook, I have been successfully able to send a message to on my iPhone with no problem. Â
This is what gets me: I have signed in to my Mac and my iPad with several other Apple IDs and iMessage works FINE when there is another Apple ID involved. There is no problem when someone else signs in using their Apple ID. So far, the only thing that has been affected is iMessage. All other aspects of iCloud work great. FaceTime hasn't stopped working once, for example.Â
I have had two separate cases with Apple Support about this issue. I have brought all my machines to the apple store TWICE, and they still couldn't figure out what was wrong.Â
Info: MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
All of a sudden my macbook pro's iMessage stopped working! Every time I'd send a message, a red circle with an exclamation point pops up on the side of the message. Somedays it'll be on and off where i could send iMessages but only receive one on my mac. I already reinstalled os x and deleted everything, but iMessage wouldn't work on my mac. Same goes for FaceTime! When I accept a FaceTime call, the whole window goes to the side and disappear.
I am trying to print via wireless from my iPad (3rd generation) and iPhone 5 to my new canon MG3520 -- but it seems I have to set this up first to use with airprint? How to do that---? Â
OK I set-up the LAN (first connecting printer to the MacBook Pro running 10.8.5) via USB and then removed the USB cables so that now the iPad and the iPhone can select the printer - but it just prints blank sheets of paper and says there is an error each time.Â
Info: MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion, Also a Mac SE running 6.0.4 - not upgrading that!
I'm running Yosemite on Mac and iOS 8.1.1 on iPad and iPhone. When i setup Messages on my Mac a couple of months ago all conversations were synced up between all 3 devices. i've continued many of those conversations on my iPad and iPhone but when I opened Messages on my Mac today i noticed that they had stopped syncing about 2 weeks ago. Now when i try to send a message from my Mac it sends it as SMS not as iMessage. how to correct both the SMS issue but more importantly the sync?Â
If I send an iMessage to my daughter in Boston, it works fine. She is also an iMessage user.Â
Sending the same message with a photograph: iMessage will say it has been "delivered" - but then 30 seconds or so later it changes to indicate that transmission failed. Retry never works.Â
I couldn't log into my iMessage account in the Messages application on Mac OS 10.8.5 on my Macbook Pro. At first it would try to log in, then I get a window saying that I couldn't log in and to contact support, . And this was the "validation code" - 2759-9329-5430Â
I called support, they said that there was probably just a glitch and it'd be fixed in an hour... it's been about 4 days. Still can't log in. After I received that first message that took me to this page, then is just started saying "can't log in." .I'm back to getting that "validation code" page link again... Who spilled a beer on the iCloud server again?Â
Earlier today I received 2 iMessages from another iPhone 4 user, I only realised this now, when I checked my iPhone. He sent them to my mobile number not my email address. They never showed up on my Mac, (messages beta), are only iMessages sent to email addresses received on mac?
I downloaded Lion and I was hoping that my Ipad 2 and Iphone 4 would sync with my Ical and photo's but it is not doing that. Is there a setting I need to adjust?
Well, after my keyboard backlight going out, and me looking for multiple solutions, I've found multiple solutions on the internet that include deleting the com.apple.iokit.AmbientLightSensor.plist file from the Library file. My issue is, I'm actually missing this file from my Macbook pro, which leads me to believe that this is the main reason that my backlight isn't working. Is there anywhere I can find this file, or any reason why I'm missing this?
Just to add in, I have a corrupt Hard Drive, and plan on fixing it soon. Could that have anything to do with it?

Love iMessage on my iPhone. Would also like to be able to write a message on my Mac to send out to others. I do not use FaceTime, nor do I want to in order to send messages. What do I need to do?
I have an iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011)Â running ITUNES version 12.0.1.26.Â
2 days ago ITUNES got locked up and would not quit - even attempting a force quit which did not work. I then tried a reboot of the Mac which gave me another opportunity to force quit the app which was successful..
Ever since then ITUNES appears not to be working with my mobile device IP4S. I tired the IPAD which seems to work.
I have an MacBook Pro with 10.5.8, iMac with 10.7.3, iPhone 4S and the new iPad. My problem is that I want to sync my emails with all my devices (like google email) but I cant do it properly because my work email is a POP server. Changing my email server to IMAP is not a option currently.
I know Mountain Lion isn't released, but I know Apple has published quite a bit of specs and requirments already. So my question, which I havent found an answer to...as it sounds a little rare. Would it be possible to send video and audio (think Netflix app, Apple Video app, etc.) from an iPhone to an Airplay Mac running Mountain Lion? I don't have a tv, don't really need one as my 27" LED dispay is just fine. But at times I'd like to send video at times from my iPhone to a Mac. One main reason is Netflix Silverlight messes with some software I have, rendering Netflix streaming impossible on the Mac. I have seen a Mac desktop app that will do this—Reflection app—but I beleive there is a lot of compression that effects quality.
Every time I try to log into my webmail from my computers or iPhone, I get an incorrect user name or password error message and haven't been able to receive my mail in my inbox. The server (Cox Communications) is telling me I need malware or spyware or whatever the heck one uses for this type of thing. I've never had to worry about that before but have recently posted items on Ebay, Craigslist and also a resume online which is about the time I seemed to start having problems with my server connection.Â
I have a 5s iPhone, an OSX Mountain Lion and a Lion and it is happening on all three devices
Also, is it possible to share an iTunes library between my MBA and my PC so I can sync my iPad and iPhone without having to create a new library? The library file is currently on the NAS and just wanted to use the same one. Would it allow me to sync my iPhone with the PC and the iPad with the MBA using the same library on the NAS? I know this is more of an iTunes question, but figured I would post it here instead of starting another thread.
I need to sync my mac calendar with ipad and iphone and visa versa. I have read up on it and Mobileme seemed the way to go, but isn't for sale anymore. Will installing lion allow me to integrate calendars?
I have emails that show up on my iPad, iPhone and are visible when I log into iCloud but are not being shown on my Mac (Lion 10.7.4). I have checked my Junk mail and Trash and the messages are not there. I do not use Mail rules. I have restarted the Mail app and I've rebooted the Mac without any change. How to "re-sync" Mac Mail to iCloud or fix this issue?
Just downloaded it right now and it's excellent! However, I notice a possible flaw in which whenever I receive a message from someone, it will notify me on both my Mac AND my iPhone! As you might imagine, it's pretty annoying given iMessages are flying through on my Mac. I was wondering if anyone knows how to stop iPhone notifications when messaging on Mac. I hope this feature will be added in ASAP from Apple if it doesn't exist yet!
My iPhone 5c is receiving the same messages that I've already read on my Macbook Pro and I would like to stop connecting my phone number to the computer. Is there a way to fix this? I am using IOS 1.7.2 if this problem has anything to do with my phone and that has any relevance.Â
Edit: I would not like to turn iMessage off on my phone, as I use it because a lot of the area I live in does not have service while we have wifi.
All of the microsoft programs (Skype, word, excel, update utility, even error reporting, all) I regularly run on my macbook pro have stopped working. If I try to open an application or document the icon bounces on the dock, the graphic flashes on the screen (just like normal), then the crash report comes up. The crash report stays for a moment then the crash report for the crash report (Microsoft Error Reporting has quit unexpectedly) pops up.Â
I feel like this started after the latest software update from a few days ago but I can't be entirely certain of that. I don't know how to revert previous to the update to check if that is the problem.
I have restarted the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the programs. I have updated the programs, as well as OS X.Â

I just bought a macbook pro retina display OS X 10.9.4 and entered the data of my applestore account on the imessage app but each time I try to send a message gives me the following sign "+54 9 11 ....... is not registered with iMessage." although it is a registered number (my own iphone).

why hitting spacebar no longer previews fonts/typefaces. It worked as of last Friday (today being Monday). I have restarted many times, repaired permissions, used FontNuke to clear caches, and have also cleared/relaunched Quicklook caches with the
-qlmanage -r -qlmanage -r cache -commands in Terminal. Â

My messages and FaceTime calls will not work on my macbook air. I am using OS X Mavericks 10.9.4. why these will not go to my computer anymore? They used to work just fine and appear in my notifications on both my macbook and iPhone and now only go to my iPhone.
