    Hello

    There is an app Messages having an iMessages account.

    In fact, it may have a Hello 'Account' AIM, Jabber and Yahoo, not to mention the many you can have.

    These: -.

    See if the data of one kind or another in the past between the app and other places he works with.

    In some cases, the 'reason' may include a reference to something being 'null '.

    In these cases, this may mean that the Contacts App has no listed correct My map, in some cases, this means that Mac user account name and my card Contacts do not seem to match.

    Can you be specific about which .plists you deleted.

    Some with ichat in the name refers to the functions most basic application which have been there since the app was called iChat.

    For example, it might be the sort of friend order if you have AIM, Yahoo or Jabber accounts.

    This Yahoo have released a new version of their Messenger which seems incompatible with what they had before.

    It seems to stop the Messages application entering this account.

  • All my messages on my iPhone were mysteriously deleted after I restarted - is it possible to sync my old backup iPhone with my iMessages on my Mac?

    Hello!

    This past weekend, I noticed that my Messages app acted strangely on my iPhone 6. Accordingly, I turned and turn it on again and noticed that all of my posts have disappeared. I then did a hard reset and turned on - still no messages.

    I have my settings to keep my messages forever, what really saddened me to see all of my messages disappeared. In any case, I'm about to restore my backup iPhone on a new phone (6 s). Luckily, I backed up my phone the week last before my messages disappearing.

    I understand that when I restore a backup, everything that happened on my phone since will not appear. However, I have also the Messages on my MacBook Air app, when kept all my messages before and after the mysterious disappearance on my phone. Once I have perform this restore, I was wondering if it is possible to synchronize in any post-restore on my laptop to my phone messages.

    Thank you!

    To continue to have your Mac with your iPhone SMS sync, don't forget to implement continuity with your new device.

    If you have an iPhone, the SMS that you send and receive on your iPhone may appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch as well. You can then continue the conversation from any device is closer to you.

  • The only option I have to send iPad iMessages 2 Air is with my email.  I want to use my iPhone number.

    No matter what I do, I cannot use my email address on the iPad 2 air to send an iMessage. I want that it connected with my iPhone.

    Make sure that your signature in the same Apple ID on both devices. Disconnect from the iMessage on both devices. Then, log back in to the iPhone. Once it was activated, log back in to the iPad. Then, on the iPad you should be able to go to settings > Messages and select your mobile number.

  • Apple ID/pirate iMessage. Messages sent to China. What should I do now?

    Today, I received an alert that my ID Apple had been used for sign in a MacBook Air (I don't own one), a very strange name.

    Shortly after, I went into my iMessages and seen this activity:

    Did some research and discovered these were all indicative Beijing sent. This is the message that was sent:

    I immediately changed my password, but now I'm worried, maybe I need to do anything else to the security update. I use the portfolio to apple and other features that have highly sensitive information, so this type of hack makes me very nervous. Are there other actions that I take, and someone else had this or something similar happens?

    Have you read the first message from Apple?

    .. . If you do not sign & trust someone access your account...

    ... go to appleid.apple.com and change your password.

    It is always best to avoid trusting any unsolicited message, but Apple seems to have been legitimate (at least the "apple id" address is correct).

    Looks like your password has been found or guessed, since Apple ID accounts often have details of credit or Bank attached I would get back immediately, also check your other accounts online - especially if you use the same password anywhere else.

  • iMessage/Facetime activation on iOS 10 bug

    Hello

    The bug appeared after the first intentional reboot after iOS 10 updated, my iPhone 5 has been disconnected for a few hours. When it started I started to receive petitions of iM/FT on reboot or a random time after even if iM/FT completely!

    I did not move my SIM card. If I refuse to activate iM I can't see my phone number in the Contacts section.

    The same bug persists on the iPhone of my 5s wife while his phone has never been disconnected except 10.0.2 update.

    Hi Valsh,

    Here is how to fix iMessage / FaceTime activation do not question.

    Before you begin, you'll need sort these things:

    • Make sure that in the phone application, you got your registered number. On top of "Contacts", you should see your registered number (My Number :). If not, you will need to go to settings → → my phone number and enter your number.
    • Make sure that the Date and time (in general) are correct. Set to "Set automatically" to ensure that the time zone is correct and the iPhone is at the right time.
    • Also make sure you have a working network. Problems of Wi - fi can cause iMessage activation problems therefore have active cell.
      For some users, the message for activation goes out as an international SMS. Make sure that your carrier allows these and you have a sufficient amount to send them.


    1. contact your operator

    First of all, make sure that your carrier supports iMessage or not. Contact the support team of carrier and check any condition limiting on your iMessage, blocks or text filters.

    2. airplane mode

    As strange as it sounds, maybe you should try this method if nothing else works. We found the airplane mode activation mode in one of the discussions. It sounds simple, and if it is correct, it would be nice, right?

    Here's how it works:

    Step #1. Get off at scroll → settings touch Messages and turn offiMessage (also turn off FaceTime)

    Step #2. Turn on airplane mode. WiFi will be disabled automatically.

    Step #3: Turn ON Wifi.

    Step #4. Return to Messages and ignition iMessage.

    Step #5. You will be prompted for your Apple ID if you have not yet added it. (otherwise, you get no notification)

    Step #6. Now, go back to the settings and disable airplane mode.

    Step #7. For the most part, you will see a notification that says "your carrier may charge for SMS" - press OK

    Step #8. If this is not the case, go to Messages, disable iMessage and then turn on again.

    Step #9. In a few moments, iMessage should be enabled.

    Step #10. You will see a greyed number and e-mail ID. A little later, the number should be checked, and that's all.


    3 Apple ID disconnect, connect

    Sometimes, you just need to logout of your identifier Apple and then sign in again.

    Step #1. Under Settings → Message, scroll up to where it says 'Send and receive'and tap on it.

    Step #2. Type on the Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.

    Step #3. Now turn off iMessage.

    Step #4. Wait for a while (toggle Wifi) and then turn on the iMessage.

    Step #5. Enter the details of your Apple ID now and try to reactivate iMessage

    4. set or restore

    If things do not work, you must first reset the settings of your location, then the iPhone. Reset is just a force so restart your data stays secure. After the reset, you will just connect with your Apple and implementing iMessage like new.

    If this fails, you may need to restore the iPhone as new or from a backup.

    Hope this helps,

    See you soon.

  • How to ship iMessage by default without disabling?

    Hi, does anyone knows how to ship iMessage by default without disabling? It was really painful for to change me the iMessage message text before it is sent successfully. Is there a way to default to text messages? Reason not to disable iMessage is because I always want to receive, do not want to send it. Thank you very much.

    This isn't a feature of iOS or iOS app of e-mail. If your camera is actively registered and connected to iMessage and you send to another user filed iMessage to Apple, then the messaging application intrinsically will attempt to send through the iMessage to Apple service.

    The only way to go back to SMS as the default is from you disconnect from iMessage and disable the use of the service on your device.

  • Messages of the Sierra and the problems of continuity iMessage

    I took these communities to try to resolve a problem which, for me, is as old as the first day iMessage became available for Mac.

    I can't emphasize how incredibly boring, it is completely out of sync how both are. The problems are always the same:

    (1) never are conversations in the issue of order/same on both devices. For example, for a conversation that has been exploited to iMessage on my iPhone, when I open my Mac, it appears in the notifications, like new. All the answers are there.

    (2) a conversation that has been deleted from the iPhone suddenly appears on the opening on my Mac... seriously?

    (3) the conversations that are deleted on my iPhone does not disappear in the Messages and vice versa.

    To sum it all, pretty much the case is that both apps, while they expected to work simultaneously with fluidity to do what they want when they want.

    This has been a problem since iMessage became available on Mac OS for the first time (think it was Mavericks). I've been waiting for Apple to fix this with each software update to make OSX or iOS. But guess what...?

    My Mac running OS Sierra and my iPhone 6 s more running iOS 10.0.1. Everything that could be activated in so that they can work together has been activated and triple checked. I would really like to know if anyone has a way to fix this or if there is other people are having the same problem.

    Hello

    An excellent explanation of exactly how iMessages works on iPhone and Mac.

    It does the same thing, if you add in an iPad or and iPod Touch.

    iMessages are pushed, the Treaty is called, for devices that have been associated with (by adding the Apple ID on an iPhone).

    This means that it is not as Mail where are read from the server and in the case of a POP account you can choose to let the "message" on the server if other devices can read.

    IMAP accounts will be synchronized as you say but POP will be more like the Messages app with iMessages.

    The iMessages which is addressed to you are marked by the number of devices is in the opportunity to see it.

    He pushes the devices until they respond (Accept) once this device has accepted it is removed from signage and only devices that did not have a chance on seeing.

    There is a time limit on how long the iMessages is pushed to a device (such that being away from your Mac turned off everything on vacation or phone that died or was out of range of the carrier)

    Once the device have the iMessages it is removed from the server.

    A simpler view is that the iMessages is "copied" and sent to each device and that each device can not see the other "versions" and that each "copy" is deleted from the server that happens on the device.

    The news to "read" your comments, you might see comes that of the device, it was intended to (i.e. addressing a number only the iPhone to another end may, so together, to send the reply 'read').

    Same thing with sent.  This is why you get a response, when he showed even "Delivered" as someone can answer from a connected device.

    This means that the 'Sync' is really only show on all devices and nothing do you on one device will be the effect of the other.

    It is not broken, even if this isn't what you think that told you about the device.

    Hey there. I seem to be in the same situation as you are. I worked through the issue for the last 20 minutes with a friend, and I was wondering if you happened to run a Mac that has been upgraded to Mac OS Sierra as well.

    I went through a bit of a process of elimination. I rebooted my iPhone 7 more, restarted my iPad Pro and rebooted my Mac, and then began to close the other devices one by one.

    Turns out that when my iMac with Sierra installed was on, this is when my iPhone Plus 7 missing notifications.

    That said, you are using a Mac with Sierra?
