Worsening of messages

I'm extremely frustrated with messages. As I understand it, they are supposed to be synchronized on devices but that never worked. Me no more than get messages on my Mac or my iPhone and my iPad. I googled and tried dinking with settings everywhere but I can't find a way to make it work.

I finally figured it out. There was a wandering duplicate of an email address in my contacts. Once I discovered and removed, messages began works correctly - at least for now.

    I am a user of seven years of Thunderbird. Three months after downloading successfully messages from my e-mail address, [email protected], I started having bad to select messages to read the content. Whenever I chose a message, the software entered into no answer mode as long as a minute or two. After this period, the message is selected and I could read the content. To try to solve this problem, I uninstalled the version of Thunderbird software I use and downloaded and installed a new version about two months ago. After that, the software works without problem as she had for seven years. However, since approximately two to four weeks after that I installed the latest version of the software, the problem of a selected message, pass in no answer mode started to happen again. It has worsened gradually until now I a not able to use the software. This problem applies only to the Inbox. The selection of messages into local folders properly.

    I have the same problem. I have subfolders, but have been using Thunderbird for many years and it was never a problem, although I had a similar problem a year or two ago due to a McAfee issue that was finally resolved. I usually less than 20 messages in my Inbox. I delete or remove messages every day.

    I ran CA 2010 Security Suite and you have scanned for Malware with regard to the Windows Update Error Message. He found none. I ran Microsoft Malware malicious tool, and it found. I ran Windows Defender and he found. I don't have CA and Windows Firewall to protect my computer and I have disabled both in trying to solve this problem of Windows Update and Windows Defender.

    I got this error 4 days ago. Here is what I tried:

    -I went on various Web sites, including Microsoft Support - and tried to solve the problem through services.msc and msconfig.exe. None worked.

    -J' noticed in msconfig. where it says start waiting next to Windows Update. There are 3-4 elements, which are affiliated to Windows Update and made sure they did not exist in the registry.

    -J' have to ensure that they were supposed to be automatic or manual under services.msc.

    -J' rebooted several times and nothing changes.

    Windows Defender does not update the definitions, and I do not know if this coincides with the release of Windows does not.

    I need serious help. Please, I beg you!

    Thank you.

    I had to call Microsoft. Alex tried to add registry keys and input upgrade.

    My Windows Update has almost been altered. It could be my mistake or it has become corrupted when running other services at the same time.

    I was sent a Windows 7 Home Premium Disc to upgrade and start over, as my Vista disk was corrupted as well.

    I would not recommend trying one of the suggestions listed on other sites. It's my personal opinion because I have in the past and it worsened my problem.

    I also wouldn't delete all programs (unless absolutely necessary) because I remove 4 MSMXL and he made their work more difficult.

    Sometimes the only solution is to call Microsoft and they will evaluate if a charge of telephone support is necessary from the outset, before they run for your problem.

    Despite what you may have read, Microsoft Technical Support technicians are very efficient and kind.

    We inform you to open a slot during your day or even open your day for the problem to be solved.

    Mine took 2 1/2 hours, and they had to remind me the next day to make the order for the disk because it could not be done the same day.

    The more patient and kind you are, the best representative.

  • Mail is always "Download Messages".

    I noticed that Apple Mail is always "Download Messages".  This process will occur approximately every 10 minutes.  This is usually between 250 and 270 messages.  (screenshot)  However, there is no double or extra emails.  In addition, the number of downloaded emails usually does not change (perhaps by 1 or 2 later in the day).

    I have 4 email accounts in Mail, which are all Gmail accounts.  I went through each account settings and made sure they are all handled in the same way and have the same options are checked.

    I think I found the problem with account, because I tried with the right button and select "Take account offline" when I see that it starts to download the messages.  Once I have put offline, the download stops.  I tried to remove this suspected account and Add again, but it still does the same thing.  Any help would be appreciated!

    Hello and welcome to the communities of Apple support, ggerrits.

    If I understand your message just Mail on your Mac continues to show that it Downloads hundreds of mails every 10 minutes. I can certainly understand how she could become a nuisance to see permanently who warn even if no new messages are actually downloading. I'm happy to help him to stop appearing.

    You've done some excellent troubleshooting already to refine what e-mail account, what's happening with. The next thing that I recommend you do is to make sure that you run the version of OS X El Capitan, which should be 10.11.6. Using your Mac update, take a look at updating the software on your Mac. If you haven't done so already, I recommend also restart your Mac. Test the Mail after doing those two things.

    If the problem persists, follow these steps:

    1. With Mail open, select "Mail" in the upper left corner of your screen and select Preferences.
    2. Select the tab accounts.
    3. Select the e-mail account that you are having the problem with.
    4. Select the Advanced tab.
    5. Uncheck "automatically detect and manage account settings."

    Next, close and then restart Mail to see if you feel the same way.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Take care.

    Go into the Contacts application and ensure that it uses the same account synchronization like the iPhone and other devices you may be using.

    Also check the part of the accounts of the Contacts application preferences and make sure that it's only using one account.

  • Messages will not open since macOS installation Sierra

    Hey all!

    I'm on a 2015 13 "Macbook Pro, only had it for a few months and have had no problems with it." Since the update, my Messages app will not work. Always worked well in the past, attempted to restart remove them the dock and everything but it wont open. Sometimes it loads a blank slate, but when I try to send a message it freezes and that he never sends. Every now and then, hours after the fact, I might have a new notification text top-right, but I am unable to open it.

    Safe Mode boot deletes some caches system that can help you and to update.

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Then, try the messaging app.

  • How do you prevent Siri to send text messages?

    My children told me just show a problem with my iPhone 6 and Siri:

    My phone is locked, my child picks up the phone, press the home button and said "Send by David SMS", Siri let him write a voice message: "what is your social security number?   Siri sends, my other child shows me it seems I just send the message from my iPhone.

    David sends what looks like his social security number (it is not, we test all this), and the message appears on my locked iPhone.

    So if I left my phone sitting around, everyone could use Siri to do things like this for the information of anyone in my Contacts, even though I have a 6-digit code and fingerprints id put in place.

    What settings I need to change on my iPhone 6 to ensure that ever happening?

  • Messages: number, bad name right

    I just backed up my iPhone with iTunes 6 and restored my iPhone 7 from the back-up. Now, when I get a text message, it shows that it came from the phone number right but it displays the name of another contact. When I go to contacts, numbers and names are correct. How is what is happening and how to fix it?

    Problem solved:

    When you start the new phone he kept stuck on my iCloud password so I jumped this option. When the phone started, my iCloud showed I was connected and all my contacts were correct. I disconnected icloud, removed from the contacts to the new phone and re-connected to iCloud. Problem solved.
