attachments do not download in iMessage on mac

I use a two years, mac book pro with El captain, 10.11.2.  The photos are not download on my mac in iMessage.  Photos download as always on my mobile, but not on mac.  It is a new problem... fine translation for years.

See attached photos.  The first shows the messages from sender... even the photo would simply be there.  The second shows what you get if you double-click the message.  Note When I click on the download button, I just get a sound from my computer to reject the order.

Please stop Messages is running.

Triple-click on the line below on this page to select, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

~/Library/Messages

In the Finder, select

Go ▹ go to the folder...

from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return. A folder should open. Inside, there should be a subfolder named 'Attachments' (without the quotes). If the subfolder does not exist, create it. Launch the Messages and test.

  • Attachments in iMessage on Mac does not download

    Hello.

    Two days ago, he has started. Now I can't receive attachments in imessage on mac.

    On iPhone, everything is ok

    I read a few topics.

    I find:

    ~/Library/Messages

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return. A folder should open. Inside, there should be a subfolder named 'Attachments' (without the quotes). If the subfolder does not exist, create it. Launch the Messages and test.

    Log out or restart the computer. Reconnect to iMessage. Thenyou send a test message with an attachment.

    There are file attachments. I sign imessage, then restart the mac.

    Then connect new iMessage

    If I send the photo to myself - everything is ok, I can see it, but if my wife send me photo - I can see on the mac (on iPhone everything works) file name

    Now, I've removed the Accessories folder and recreate. It does not help.

    In iMessage on mac attachments are similar to:

    attachments do not download in iMessage on mac

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • can not activate iMessage on Mac

    Hi, since the last update OS X (ver. 10.11.6) I have problems with the transmission of messages from my iPhone to Mac. It has worked before, however after the last system update it stopped working correctly. So, I tried to disable iMessage (on Messages app) and to turn it on again. When I enter my ID Apple and the password, it keeps saying, who "Could not sign an iMessage" and "an error occurred during authentication. Password is correct. So I used my second Apple ID account to activate iMessage, just in case. Same situation. He has recorded for 5 seconds then the same message appeared and I was disconnected. So, I used the first Apple ID - and the same thing happened (me connected for 5 seconds and then disconnects me). I deactivated and reactivated my iCloud. Nothing. I disabled iMessages on iPhone. Nothing.

    Password is fine, but it seems Apple server denies the request of my Mac authentication.

    Any ideas what should I do?

    Thank you in advace

  • Disable iMessage app (Mac) when I hit iMessages on iPhone (El Capitan - Notifications fix does not work)

    I think that this question is a little different from the others posted. I am not connected to iMessage on my phone. I think my MacBook is my Apple ID associated with it, but I've not logged in the App, and I already turned off all the boxes of banners/badges/alerts and unchecked everything in system preferences > Notifications menu.

    However, the question that I find annoying, everytime I go to iMessage on my iPhone application appears at the bottom of the screen on my Mac, even if I am not logged in. Exit iMessage on my iPhone and it disappears on my Mac. There is nothing in common with my Mac, but its boring whenever I'm Messaging on my iPhone application appears on my MacBook, and I watch my Mac to see whats moving on the screen but its just letting me know that I have the app open on my iPhone iMessage. Does anyone know how to disable this feature?

    I just want it to be completely gone and not follow when I open the iMessage app on my iPhone. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Thank you!

    Hi James b. Moore,.

    If I understand your question, whenever you use the Messages app on your iPhone, you will see it appear on your Mac and you do not want the application on your computer, right?

    Looks like you have the characteristics of continuity enabled on your Mac.  The resources below will explain how to disable features such as transfer to separate the activities of your Mac and iPhone.

    Continuity of use to connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac

    Transfer procedure

    With the transfer process, you can start a document by e-mail or message on a device and pick up where you left from another device. Transfer works with applications Apple such as Mail, Safari, maps, Messages, reminders, calendar, Contacts, Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Some third-party applications are also compatible.

    Disable the transfer procedure

    If you want to disable the transfer on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, go to settings > general > Handoff & suggested Apps. Can disable Handoff.

    On your Mac, go in system of preferences > General. Can uncheck the setting allow Handoff.

    With continuity, all SMS and MMS text messages that you send and receive on your iPhone may also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. You can also meet your contacts from any device is closer to you, including your iPad or Mac.

    You can start a conversation in the Messages application or click on a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or calendar.

    Set up SMS and MMS with continuity

    1. You need to iOS 8 or later version on your device iOS and OS X Yosemite or later version on your Mac.
    2. Connect to the iMessage with the same Apple ID on your iPhone, your other iOS devicesand your Mac.
    3. On your iPhone, go to settings > Messages > Send and receive. Add a control to both your phone number and email address. Then go to settings > Messages > text Message Forwarding and turn on the device or devices that you want to transfer the messages.  (Disable this function if you want no messages will appear on your Mac.)
    4. Looking for a code on the Mac, iPad, or iPod touch that you enabled. Then enter this code to check on your iPhone.

    Take care

  • I can not download on my C drive. Not even the attachments

    I did a recent installation of a new HD in Windows XP pro and now find that I can not download anything on my C drive. I can move items from the C drive and I can't download any other player except the C drive. It started after moving the files to a disc on drive C. I can't even download attachments. If I try to download start download then you will receive an error message that you were unable to save this location and this can be due to a hardware failure or a bad internet connection. I can download with Bit Torrent for a reason, but no other program. I use MS security essentials for the first time.
