Messages.app Hello fresh white Prefs 10.11

I can't activate Messages.app Hello. It is a fresh out of the box MBAir. At run a migration of users and applications. Messages.app account prefs looks to below; Hello accounts preference is totally empty.

Here's what I've tried so far...

-deleted all the prefs com.apple.ichat and com.apple.messages, I could find in ~/Preferences

-new local administrator account

-Upgrade to 10.11.2 (comes avec.1)

-Start

-Zap PRAM

-new network location

-nothing extraordinary in LaunchAgents/demons

Not sure what else to try after a fresh charge of the OS, but this seems a bit extreme, especially for a fresh out of the box system. Thanks for the tips.

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.

How to change the password for Jabber (XMPP) in Messages.app?

My understanding of the functioning of the Jabber (XMPP) is that the password take place in the email client. I am aware of how to change my password to Jabber via like Adium instant messaging clients, but I prefer to use the built-in client of Messages.app. What I can't understand, however, is how to change my password for the Jabber using Messages.app.

→ Anyone know: Messages.app can be used to change a password account Jabber? ←

Thanks in advance!

Hello

Yes I know.

Oh, you asked me to tell you?

Open messages

Use the App menu > Preferences > accounts.

Select the Jabber account.

Uncheck the "enable this account".

The account is now disconnected.

You should be able to type in the password box now.

Just type on the old highlighting and typing.

EDIT.

I just read that another way.

The messages may not make the change to the password at the server end.

Because you advice I just gave you instructions on how to change the password in the application rather than using the application to change the password on the server.

Google (who run a Jabber server) can be done online in the account settings (it also changes it for the mail if you use it in Mail as well.)

Same thing for Facebook Chat (it's also a Jabber server)

Most of the other servers will have a web page method to do.

How can I transfer all the messages/conversations from my iphone to messages.app on my mac?

Hi people,

Maybe someone can help me:

How can I transfer the entire contents of my messages app on my iphone to the messages on my mac app?

the problem is, when I create in the messages app a new account with my appl ID (for example on a new mac) I also use with my iphone, so everything worked very well for the starting point of creation.

BUT... some older posts, I have on my iphone will appear in the new messages.app - account on my mac.

I have thousands of old messages and conversations, I now can only see on my phone or with some more or less useful third party apps. those who cannot vonert messages to a PDF file or som other format useful semi > but no one can transfer it in the messages app.
- I learned that apple does not save my imessages for more than 72hours (which makes me happy because of the confidentiality of the data), so I can't take via imessages-servers.
- I also learned that it is possible to transfer data from the library files to a previous account. but unfortunately, I've just accidentally deleted those files, so this solution won't help:
the system configuration:
- Start "2011-17 - macbook pro with latest el capitan (10.11.6)"
- iPhone 6 with latest iOS (9.3.5)
PLEASE Please HELP me - even if I use third-party software...

Hello

Can't do.

iMessages are pushed by the iMessages servers to devices recorded at this time there.

They are not held on servers and are deleted as soon as receiving devices accept.

(that is, it is not like electronic mail that can be left on the server (POP) or rest on the (IMAP) server to be retried by other devices that can identify you later).

How the files/iMessages are stored on the iPhone and the way the Mac stores are not the same.

It is possible to have the iPhone one store backup via iTunes on Mac.

From there on, it is possible to use third party applications to read (check out them and make them as text files), but they cannot be forced into Messages.

By copying and pasting entire conversations from one chat to another it's the Mac send s just like a long piece of text with few (not in use) formatting.

Can also have problems with actually duplicate the whole file with space on the iPhone in the first place.

How to have separate conversations w / the same person in messages app

Hey guys,.

is it possible to have several conversations with the same contact but different addresses in the messages (El Cap) application?

My problem: I have two conversation with the same person: I text him through iMessage using his e-mail and SMS (phone number, no iPhone) that appears in the application messages through continuity (or let do or what they call that). However, the iMessage cat and the cat of text message (which is separated on my iPhone) is mixed in a chat on the Mac (which is a mixture of blue and green bubbles). And when I type a message on the Mac it's a lottery if it will be sent as a text message or an iMessage. On the iPhone, it is clearly separate.

How can I have discussions in the messages.app on my Mac?

Thank you

Phil

Messages app does not appear new conversations

Recently in a vain attempt to get Microsoft PowerPoint and Word to open files without complaining about permissions I tried to reset the permissions and a few other terminal-y things that I probably shouldn't have been messing around with.

After rebooting my computer, my Messages App went to the default view (no overview of conversation, abbreviation for each person within a circle) and was empty of all conversations. When a new iMessage would come to my phone, it wouldn't show up on the list. However once I started a new conversation with someone in the Messages application the conversation would be there (as well as messages between me and this person). When a conversation is present and the person texts/iMessages new messages appear and I am notified.

Any ideas?

Hello

Was it the orange 'Help' brand test or the green "Resolved" objects of this thread Reset Home Folder permissions and ACLs error ?

It is best to run the first test to see if you need the other.

Permissions repair which was never touched disk utility via the home folder in any way.

If you used a third-party app or utility, that it would be preferable, tell someone that used as the same may be able to comment on and areas it covers.

It would seem that you have "lost" some of the connection to the chat.db items in ~/Library/Messages

A few details about what was changed can also help us to help you.

I would be tempted to use a Time Machine backup to the point before you start playing with things.

This mold lose more recent iMessages that have been sent from.

consolidation of two Mac OS messages.app archive / database (old SMS migration to new mac)

Hi, some time ago I move from the MBW Unibody (Yosemite) to the MBP (as the new Yosemite and El captain now). System files of old, full of junk mac, did not migrate to a new. I had an iPhone 4S at this time, later I change 4 s to 5 s. It took me a while to realize that my archive messages.app on new MBP starts from a ~ September and there is no SMS messages more former both on MBP and 5s.

I know that it is not a problem to replace my new archive old MBP but I want to keep the MBW SMS old and new SMS of MBP.

Copy of name/library/Messeges/Archive users/user content does nothing.

Someone at - he had idea of:

1. consolidate the chat.db, chat.db - shm, files chat.db - wal?

2. force download messages from old iPhone 4S for MBP

3. He made?

Will be grateful for the help, I just can't work it out by myself.

Hello

The chat.db elements are the SQL files and you could (I have not tried) get and application that can read the files to merge some.

(2) cannot be done. Although the files are on the iPhone and can be backed up in iTunes, then a utility used to bring in text, there is no way to get this into Messages.

The files are for a different OS (only compatible applications between them - that would be like trying to work with the LENS for PC files saved in the Mac version)

Problems using Messages app for you sign in to messenger FB

Hi all!

I used to use the messages app on my mac to chat on messenger FB. As you may know, we can do this by creating a jabber account in the messages application. However, for these past months, it has just stopped working and I'm basically impossible to connect to my jabber account (e-mail FB). Whenever I try to connect, he asks me to enter my password then it says that my username/password is incorrect.

Well, they are not bad I can use the same passage to connect to my FB and I checked my username on FB just to be safe.

I did everything possible to try to resolve this problem. Called apple care, went to the genius bar etc... None of them know what to do. 90% of them did not even know he xas actually gets set up an account jabber and cat by FB messaging directly from the messages app.

In any case, I hope that someone who is a greater genius than the geniuses at the apple store can help me to sort.

I have:

MacBook Air 11 '' - end of 2014

Any help to make it work will be greatly appreciated!

Hello

https://developers.Facebook.com/docs/chat

While this Doc says April it was July before most people noticed and it seems that some are stayed connected or were able to reconnect since then as well.

Basically, Facebook has closed their Jabber server (those with @facebook.chat.com IDs)

They were launched from a separate application for Macs and have a different game in place in login pages in a browser for the cat.

Lag when you type in Mac Messages app

Hello!

I recently got my new work - the MacBook Pro 13 ", 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 laptop.

Everything works well except for the messages App. overtime I'm typing a message there is a significant lag - after a few words the app is not facing what I type, the 'small wheel' appears, and it takes a few seconds (2, maybe 3) for typical content to appear.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

I disconnected my account, signed in, close and reopen the app, restarted the MacBook, deactivated and reactivated iCloud contacts, etc.. Nothing helps.

May be a corrupt .plist.

Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

Quit the application.

Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J. When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder. Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iChat.plist. Move the .plist on your desktop.

Restart your computer, open the application and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

If the application is the same, return the .plist where you got it, crushing the latest.

If this does not work, repeat the above, but remove the com.apple.imagent.plist

Messages app does not split view after put 10.11.2 updated

My apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but it is a problem that arises for me after I've updated from El Capitan version 10.11.1 version 10.11.2

Following the update of the system, the application messages appears more correctly in split view. I can put messages and a second application in mode split as normal, but the message window is not reduced to fit in his half of the screen (the second app sits on her side of the screen and resizes properly). The electronic app continues to fill the entire screen, with the second application instead 'window' is blocking half of the messages window when the second application is active, or with the second window app entirely hidden by the messages app when messages is enabled. Messages worked normally in split in 10.11.1, it has started having this problem then I upgraded to 10.11.2 and it does appear that the messages app that does this.

Lollipop 5.1.1 Messaging app contains a wizard?

Hello

Once the upgrade to lollipop 5.1.1 my Xperia Z3 comapct shows something like an assistant when I start the messaging application, that I've never seen in earlier versions.

Background: because of the stagefright bug I'm very careful when it comes to read/open the SMS/MMS. So I was caught by surprise when I received a TEXT Message last weekend and could not read / open it because when I start the im app mail redirected to a kind of Wizard (fullscreen). I have never seen this behavior of the mail before application. I didn't know what to do and I do not insist on the button "first steps". Instead I called my provider and Sony support and they are all suspect that what I see is not an assistant of Sony, but a kind of malware that infected my phone. Hotliners Sony has recommended a backup of my personal data and subsequently a reset to the factory settings. But that has no effect. After reset messaging shows the "assistant" even after the start. So also, I used Sony PC Companion (module "Support area") software to fix my phone. It took about an hour, but the result is the same. Although assistant appears after messaging app starts. I have a chance to see the list of received messages or enter the settings of the e-mail application, the only thing I can do is press the button "first steps" that "Wizard".

So either there is a wizard in the hat lollipop 5.1.1 messaging application appears only once after startup and hotliners of Sony don't know nothing about it or I really some malicious sophisticated software on my phone, which survived a reset to the factory settings and a repair by PC Companion software.

Does anyone know something?

Concerning

Michael

This screenshot:

http://alinopoor.persiangig.com/Z3-Lolli/Screenshot_2015-02-27-20-51-48.jpg

is the Sony standard email application. I don't think that you have malicious software. Sometimes, the application gets 'reset' and shows the screen but you can just proceed to the screen and you will see that it will open the messaging Inbox and it is the standard application.

I can't believe that there is no one from Sony here that can give you such a simple response and they are leaving you in doubt of having some malicious software and what to do about it. You need not reinstall or downgrade your phone.

What a support forum!

PS: I think that you will also get that if you go to the settings app and delete the cache and the data of the app and restart the application, however I can not test this without deleting my SMS messages, so I'll let you try to screen

If you delete your application data and restart, don't forget to disable "Automatic download MMS" to limit the risk of the bug Stagefright. (Sony never goes out a fix for this?)

E-mail messages receive blackBerry Smartphones, but not appearing is not in the messages app.

Things were fine until a few hours and now I need open the messaging app, go to menu, display folder, Inbox, then select the folder to view my messages. I want to just see them as soon as I go to the messages app. What I did to this thing? Many thanks for any help.
