Update iMessage 'dormant' account from El Capitan (MBP9, 1).

Hi all

Recently, I was unable to use my Macbook Pro 9.1 El Capitan 10.11.4 running Messages. I noticed that the issue arose at the same time I've updated to the latest version of El Capitan. I see that a lot of people seem to have this problem, but no one seems to have found a solution yet.

However, my problem seems slightly different from some of the other posts here.

Essentially, most of the troubleshooting steps I found up to now say to log on to the account of iMessage and then insert it again. I am unable to do it though, because when I go into my account preferences, that's what I see:

As you can see, none of my account information fills. I am also unable to delete the account and add once again, by clicking on the "-" button with the selected iMessage account does nothing.

I have so far to solve this:

1 reset the NVRAM/PRAM memory.

2 reset the SMC.

3. started in the boot without danger and attempted to sign on the account.

4. offline and then back in iCloud (start-up and normal startup).

5 deleted my iCloud "Internet accounts" account and then re - he added.

6. I also saw some advice and told him to remove some of the .plists in the ~/Library/Preferences folder (can not remember exactly which ones that patients have check the post I'm referencing), but none of this seems to help. Doesn't completely remove those files, I copied them on my desk, removed from the Preferences folder, and then when I saw that nothing changed I restored the plist files to their previous location in the Preferences folder.

Another interesting point is that, when even if the Macbook with the question appears under the "Devices" heading in the menu iCloud, the Macbook does not appear in the "Devices" heading if (on my iPhone) I go to settings > Messages > text Message Forwarding. Here, I see my iPad and my iMac, but my Macbook is mysteriously absent. In addition, Facetime works fine on the Macbook Pro in question, and iMessaging works on all other apple devices that I admit, so the problem is only the iMessage on my Macbook Pro.

I'd be super grateful for any advice someone can provide, since it gets pretty boring. I never realized how many times I have used on my Macbook Messages until I could no longer!

Hello

At the time when this device is not connected to iMessages it will not display elsewhere.

If the Apple is not used on the iPhone (not likely anything you post) other people don't be "registered with iMessages" when using the Apple ID to connect to you.

If you go to the account of Hello can activate you it?

IF you do it seems to start the iMessages a gear?

If you have removed com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist then you will need to re - enter the Apple ID and then accept the pop ups on what is the use of the iPhone.

Although there are links between the iCloud server and the iMessages one to check the password (as there are in all applications and Services) makes no difference whether or not you are connected to iCloud.

In system preferences > iCloud there is not the option for Messages (FaceTime or iTunes and the App Store or developers Login If you have one).  It lets you not even use the name here for GOAL (@mac.com @me.com and @icloud.com s ID can be used and pseudonyms AIM)

  • Is it possible to extract or to recover the loss of personal data from my account from Firefox?

    Not knowing what it really meant, I ticked the box that says "remove my Firefox personal data and customizations' that I uninstall Firefox. (I just thought that it will remove it from my computer... but not from my account!) Now that I have reinstalled it, I realized that meant delete all my personal data from my account from Firefox. -- Is _ possible to recover?

    No, I'm afraid not. If you choose to delete personal data during the uninstallation of Firefox all the Firefox profile folders are deleted. Not only the current version of Firefox, but others also if any other Firefox installed builds. This choice must be used with great care.

    You can try to recover some data with undelete as Recuva utility.

  • I changed my account from administrator to a limited account user, now I can't login as administrator

    I changed my account from administrator to a limited account user, as I had 2 accounts of users, two administrator accounts. Now I can't login as administrator. I can't find the administrator and any other accounts show that when I try to switch users.

    If you have seen that the users you listed: that's all nothing.  If your account was listed as an administrator, then it is what it is.  It does not change when you restart the system.  ;-)

    Initially, you said that you have CHANGED your limited user account:

    I changed my account from administrator to a limited account user, as I had 2 accounts of users, two administrator accounts.

    Given that, you didn't have and still two active accounts.  If your account is displayed in Mode safe (when you connect as built-in administrator) as an administrative level account - it still is.

    Was able to go in the control group/user accounts. He was the administrator, my account administrator and one guest account haven't turned on do not.

    Information about Windows XP HOME Edition and the built-in Administrator account:

    You will need to create an account on the other PC the same as the one you have now.
     
    On both machines:
     
    Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.
     
    On a single computer only, make sure to delete messages after X days to satisfy your allocated space that you get from your server.
     
    If it doesn't is that for a brief period of trip example, you might be better parcel just connect to the Webmail of your server site.
