Sierra Messages App is forcing the use of the discrete GPU

Since the update of my mid 2015 15 "MacBook Pro to Sierra, Messages.app requires the use of the discrete GPU and kill my battery time.

All the world fell on this and if so, have you found a solution?

Here, even with a MacBook Pro in early 2011... problem seems to be based on the new 'features messages"that you can use in iOS 10.

From messages app, the internal GPU is used until I get a message with one of these new features to messages. Then the GPU will switch to the discrete GPU AMD and continues to work with him until I left messages app.

  • W520 Power Manager uses the discrete GPU

    Hello

    for some time now, I noticed that the power (currently using 6.34) Manager activates the discrete GPU, and therefore it is impossible to control powers since they double almost as soon as the discrete GPU is activated.

    I know it worked correctly a while. Any idea what would cause this? I'm in that last Optimus driver with the latest NVidia Quadro driver added on top...

    Thank you. I found the culprit. For some reason any processor default graphics in the basic nvidia profile has been set to discreet.

  • 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:
      • I had serious problems to enable the transfer of SMS on a second mac (I guess I failed it in between), I went in the ususal trial & error-process and disabled the account of messages on the mac.
      • After that, I deleted all caches using onyx. then I restarted the iphone and the macbook and restarted the messages app.
      • the app behave like the 'never used before': I entered my apple, app ID remind my cell phone number and all other settings from the old account, but THE MESSAGES WERE GONE alle.
      • I don't know I deleted the using onyx. but there should be a way to win back them?

    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.

  • 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.

  • App people linking the bad Skype account?

    I put this question to the Skype support team, but they suggested that I come to Microsoft on this issue, I would be interested to know if anyone here can help.

    Now, I know, Skype will create an automatic for you account name when you sign in with a Microsoft account. I got my Skype account, I then linked with my Microsoft account, so the two are now linked. He says in the Skype for the desktop application and the application Skype for Windows 8 - but the app people for Windows 8 displays the name of automatic account, because I have given.

    I tried closing and restarting the app and I tried even restart my computer laptop, but for some reason some it does not display my account name Skype "good." only automatic account name. Should I be concerned about it? Accounts are always properly linked on the application of people? Would appreciate any advice with this, if I need to do anything.

    Here's how I think that I fixed it.  Firstly, restoring links manually to Outlook.com has not really helped because that had no link to my external Exchange account associations.  The restoring my phone links did not help because when the phone and computers are on, those who have been re-synchronization on the server corruption.  So I uninstalled apps from people/Mail/calendar/e-mail of all PC Windows 8 that was connected to my Microsoft ID, stop those is not necessary and closed on the second Windows Phone leaving only my 810 Lumia Nokia to be connected to the cloud Microsoft under my MS ID service

    THEN I crossed every contact on the phone and manually fixed links to separate all the people that have been incorrectly linked (sometimes up to 50 by contact), then manually by linking those that were actually the same person.  That took a while, but it seems to stick.  I know that the phone isn't what makes the corrupt linked contact database since it is then locked, no one can access the link information.

    Then once my contacts have all good on the phone, I booted up my tablet of Windows 8 and installed the Windows store people, Mail, calendar, messaging app.  After the opening of these applications, they have downloaded all the new information my accounts registered previously and properly linked contacts.

    Then I reinstalled the soft people, Mail, calendar, messaging on my 8 Windows Media Center (which is what I did a restore of the system on the other night).  He did NOT download the right contact linking information and started to give me the links randomly wrong once again!  So I quickly uninstalled these apps to stop synchronization.  Then I looked on my 810 Lumia again and fixed the small number of links contact who broke the glass 8 MCE.

    Back on the Windows MCE 8, I ran disk cleanup to remove all temporary files and restarted for good measure.  After that I tried to reinstall once again, people, Mail, calendar, messaging app that finally downloaded the right information links for my contacts!

  • iPhone app Messages incorrectly reports that the messages are not delivered

    I send text messages with the Messages app on my iPhone.  I've never had a problem until recently.

    Recently, all of my text messages are marked by a red error message "not delivered".  But the beneficiary is in fact receive these messages.

    I want a solution to this problem (if you have one).

    Here are some additional details:

    * I recently made two changes to my iPhone 6, and I wonder if they are related to my problem:

    1. go to iOS 9.3.5

    2 change my cell number

    * I have T-mobile and I "call wifi" enabled.  Usually, I connect using "wifi-calling."

    Hi adaviding,

    Looks like you are having some incorrect Messages notifications appear on your sent messages. Not too sure if recent changes have something to do with it, but I would check your message settings to check everything is in order, it. You can also take a look at the link below. Even if your messages are sent, you can always follow the steps then the message "not delivered" can be resolved. You can also try a simple reboot of your device.

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question. These measures should have your Messages app works as expected. Good day.

  • 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

    Just upgraded to El Capitan and cannot access the calendar. It opens with a message 'Moving calendars to the server.

    I cannot access all features and can be closed only by using force quit.

    Please stop calendar and also the application of reminders, runs. Force quit if necessary.

    Back up all data.

    If you synchronize some of your calendars, or reminders with iCloud, then in the iCloud preferences window, uncheck that marked calendars and reminders. You will be prompted to confirm that you want to remove your iCloud calendars and reminders of the computer. They will always be in iCloud. Re-check the boxes.

  • 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:

    1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

    Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

    2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

    There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

    3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

    You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

    In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, so any person with the required competence can check what it does.

    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site of thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

    Another indication that the test is safe in this threadand this onecan be found, for example, where the comment in which I suggested it was recommended by one of the specialists of the communityApple, as explained here.

    However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

    4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.

    ☞ Paste into the window to another application.

    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

    ☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

    These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

    5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

    You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

    6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

    7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin.") Press the combination of keys command + A to select all the text, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing command-C.

    8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

    9. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

    If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

    If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

    10. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

        Test started
            Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.

    The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

    Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appears. If you don't see it in about 15 minutes, the test probably won't be all within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved and you have to start over.

    11. when the test is completed, or if you have stopped it because it was taking too long, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

    If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

    12. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

    If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

    13. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but what're told you to do maybe not. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.

    14. the related UNIX shell script is a notice of copyright. ASC readers can copy for their personal use. The whole nor any part can be redistributed.
