IMessages not being sent from iMac - please help!

Over the past month or so, when sending messages from iMessage on my iMac, i get a red exclamation point and a "Your message could not be sent".  I have to try 2-5 times for it to finally send.  I can receive messages just fine (though delayed for some reason).  iMessages also usually work just fine to/from my phone.  I am only really having troubles SENDING messages from my iMac.
I'm running 10.8.4 on a 27" iMac (previous aluminum version)
Thanks!
Andy

    My messages are not being sent. Can someone help?

    Alan, how you're doing?
    You already know issue is not with the email account, since it's working on another devices.
    Now you have to define whether it is a user specific or system wide issue.
    Create another user account through system prefereces > users and groups. Try to set up account on the new test user.
    If it works, get back to your main account, open mail application, go to menu > Window > open activity and connection doctor (Make sure you organize these tools in a way that allows you to see both mail windows and activity/ connection doctor... Now, try to send a test email and you will see where the issue is.
    Then...
    Go to mail preferences > select your email account > click the - button to remove it and + to readd account.
    Fill your full name, email address and password. Now, hold down option key and press continue... Insert incoming and outgoing information.
    Any doubts, feel free to ask.

  • My iMessages are being sent from my gmail and not my phone

    I recently had to deal with major software corruption on my phone and ended up having to completely wipe out my phone and start over by manually downloading all my apps and restoring from iCloud. People who are texting me with iMessage are saying my texts are coming from my gmail account instead of my phone. Sometimes it switches and some people say they have 2 different conversations going on with me, one from my phone and one from my gmail account. I don't want this to happen! Sometimes my texts are popping up on my iPad and I also don't want this to happen because my iPad is a work iPad and I don't want my personal texts appearing on my work iPad. I'm thinking that somehow the 2 have become linked since wiping out my phone and I'd like that to stop happening. I also want to figure out why my texts are sometimes being sent from my phone and sometimes from gmail. Any help?

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the article below and making sure that your phone number is selected under the "Start new messages from:" section. This wont change any of the conversations that have already been started from you email address, but it will ensure that new conversations are coming from you phone number.

  • Invite Email not being sent from iCal from a Google Apps calendar

    Hello,
    I am running Mac OS X 10.6.5, iCal 4.0.4, and am attempting to do the following from a Google Apps calendar I have setup in iCal. Please note that it's not gmail, it's Google Apps. If that makes a difference. That being said...
    I am trying to create a meeting invite from iCal. I am able to create the invite and add attendees with no problem. When I hit send (from iCal), the invitees do not receive an email notification of the event, but it does appear their calendar (both in iCal and via Google Calendar on the web). I need an email to be sent to the invitees that they have been invited to a meeting, not just to have it appear on their calendars.
    When I create the meeting invite via Google Calendar on the Web the invitees do receive an email notification (as specified in their calendar preferences). The issue only happens when the meeting invite is created in iCal.
    When an invitee accepts or declines a meeting via iCal I receive an acceptance or declining email. Just not when the meeting invite is sent.
    Also, I am able to create a meeting on one of the "On My Computer" calendars in iCal, invite people, and a meeting invitation is sent as expected.
    And again, the invitees have notification of meeting invites turned on in their calendar settings (as is shown by the fact that when the invite is sent out via Google Calendar on the Web they receive an email with the invite).
    Thanks! Any assistance would be awesome.
    Aaron

    That was actually my post on the Google forums
    Here is what I have found so far (and hopefully some of my assumptions are correct, because we're making the full switch to Google Apps this weekend and I am assuming it will work after this). This is long, but I'm trying to be thorough. Also note that I have updated to 10.6.6 since the time I first posted my last message.
    We are currently piloting Google Apps, so our primary domain (which I will refer to from now on as domain.com) still points to our old exchange servers. Mail is currently being delivered to our Google Apps pilot accounts the following way:
    1. User sends an email to [email protected]. This email is delivered to our old Exchange servers.
    2. Once the email is received on our old Exchange servers it gets forwarded to our Google Apps test domain (gtest.domain.com).
    This seems to be an important piece of the puzzle as our primary domain (domain.com) shows up on the Google Apps for Admin dashboard as improperly setup (which is correct, because we're currently piloting)
    So, in iCal I have my Google Apps account setup (I'm one of the pilot users) the following way. I added the Account as Google calendar in iCal, but once the account shows up it shows up as a CalDAV account.
    Under the account information tab:
    CalDAV
    Description: [email protected]
    User name: [email protected]
    Password: my password
    Under the server settings tab (*NOTE: these were entered in automatically when I setup the calendar as a Google calendar)
    Server address: www.google.com
    Server path: the path to my calendar.
    Use SSL is checked
    Use Kerberos v5 is NOT checked
    So, during my testing I was sending meeting invites from people who were in the Google Apps pilot to other people who were in the Google Apps pilot. When I was doing that, no invitations were getting sent.
    I created a new email account on our exchange server ([email protected]) but did NOT set it up to be a part of the Google Apps pilot (this means that emails were not being forwarded from [email protected] to [email protected]). Doing this successfully delivered all invites, cancellations, and meeting updates from iCal!
    From what I can tell there must be something going on (probably my own fault) when a calendar invite is sent from my Google Apps account, through our old Exchange system, and then back to our Google Account. My assumption is it has something to do with the fact that our MX records for domain.com currently point to our old exchange servers, and the MX records for gtest.domain.com point to the Google Apps servers. It may also have something to do with the SPF record which only allows emails from domain.com to be sent from our Exchange servers.
    Those are just guesses though as I am not very knowledgeable in that area.
    I hope this helps and I would love to hear about anyone else working on this issue.

  • Idocs not being sent from 4.6c to 6.0 system

    Hello,
    I am sending Idocs from a 4.6c R/3 system to a 6.0 R/3 system. I can see that the Idocs are being created and sent to port OK (status 03) in the 4.6c system but not able to see the Idocs in the 6.0 system.
    Actually, there are 2 cases but in both cases I am using the same function module 'ALE_DISPUTE_CREATE' to send the Idocs but only in the first case Idocs are received in the 6.0 system. I checked the parameters of the function module in both the cases and they are same in both the cases with the only difference being the values.
    One more difference is the way the data is prepared . In the first case, 'FDM_CASE_DATA_PREPARE' is used to prepare the data and in the second case I am creating the data using normal data extraction and internal tables after which I pass the datas to the function module 'FDM_COM_CASE_CREATE' which is also used in the first case.
    'ALE_DISPUTE_CREATE'  is within this function module.
    I checked the queues in both the systems and did not find anything stuck there. One more interesting case, If I copy the Idocs which are not being sent using WE19, the Idocs are being sent correctly and received correctly in the 6.0 system.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Laxman.

    Hi Laxman,
    You said that the Status of the IDOC at sender side is '03', have you checked the status of IDOC in reciever system. Check  the details of DOC using WE02. Use BD87 to Monitor the messages issued during IDOC processing. These messages will help you to reach to the exact problem.

  • Outgoing emails are not being sent from my email address all of a sudden. It started happening when I changed my gmail password

    After I changed my gmail password my outgoing emails are no longer being sent from my gmail account, but are being sent from my spouse's account so that replies go into her inbox, not mine. 

    rigoran1231,
    You may have a corrupt preference, in order to correct this open Mail - Preferences - Accounts and re-input all the preferences for the account. While they may look ok one or more may be corrupt.

  • Imessages are not being sent from my desktop

    have one of the newest imacs... purchased it a week after they became available. ive also got an iphone 5. everything works great with imessage.. can send from my desktop to other iphone users, etc. everything has been working great right up until 4 days ago. messages i tried to send would pop up with a red exclamation point and couldnt be sent. i tried rebooting, disabling the account and re-enabling. nothing seemed to work. i even tried reinstalling the os. still the same. its just this computer... i can function 100% on my macbook air.
    im out of ideas and desperately need help.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data.
    Quit Messages if it’s running.
    Step 1
    Hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (either may not exist):
    Caches/com.apple.Messages
    Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
    Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in. Try Messages again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
    Step 2
    If you still have problems, quit Messages again. Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
    Messages
    Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
    Test. If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place, and continue.
    Step 3
    In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
    com.apple.iChat
    com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
    com.apple.imessage
    com.apple.imservice
    Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
    Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
    Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
    If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post again.
    If you later decide that you don’t like the results of steps 2 and 3, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

  • Ical invites not being sent from MacBook Pro but are being sent from iphone

    Hoping someone can please help me! I am suddenly unable to send iCal invites from my laptop. They look like they send, but nobody receives them and also the events don't show on my iPhone and iPad2. If I add the event on my iPhone, I do see it on my laptop. I recently did a system update and I wonder if that is the cause. Any help you can give me would be so appreciated. Thanks.

    I am having this problem as well.  Specifically, when I create a new calendar meeting I am able to add users to the invitation and when I save the invite it gets sent.  I have also modified an existing calendar event that has other people invited, and when I exit editing the meeting a pop up window specifically asks if I want to save my changes "and send it to the other invited participants" or something like that.
    I click yes.
    In both cases (the original creation and invitation, and the modification and send update to attendees) nothing is received by the other recipients.  Not a calendar event or invitation, not an email with a .ics attachment or similar, or not even an email notification.
    Thus, I set up an event in my calendar, invite others, and no one is aware that the event was set up.
    Is there any way around this?  I don't think I'm doing anything wrong as the process of creating an event, inviting someone, and sending out the invitation seems pretty straight forward.  It just isn't working.

    I have an iPod 30 gb. Serial No- 8L647801V9K
    Its about two years old.
    All of a sudden one fine day, it stopped showing up on my the computer. Neither does itunes detect it nor does internet explorer. A bubble shows up saying the usb device attached has malfunctioned. It doesnt even charge.
    I tried resetting it(centre + Menu)
    then i thought my usb cable was bad.
    i bought another one and the same problem continues.
    i even tried the diagnostic option in itunes to detect ipod.
    the ipods completely dysfunctional when connected via either of my two cables.
    the 'do not disconnect sign' doesnt come and neither does the battery charging one.
    there's nothing wrong with my computer or my usb because i tried my ipod with two other computers as well.
    But funny enough, the ipod charges with the adaptor.

  • Canon Pixma Printer prints from Windows, but not from iMac PLEASE HELP!

    I have a Canon Pixma IP-400 USB printer connected via Airport Express Base Station. I can print just fine from my Windows computer, but when I attempt to print from my iMac, I get +"Error Nubmer : 300 The printer does not respond. Make sure that the printer is plugged in, powered-on, and properly connected to your computer"+ The printer is +plugged in, powered-on,+ and +properly connected+.
    The weirdness is that I can connect the printer directly to the iMac and it prints just fine! I tried replacing the cables (both USB and power cables) to no avail. The iMac prints fine to our other (laser) printer on a different Airport Express Base Station.
    Any suggestions? Thank you!!

    See my post "Need help to get printer to work".
    I get the same message whenever I try to print.

  • I have an Iphone 5 and I'm abroad at the moment. My iMessages keep being sent from my phone number even though I took out my SIM card. My question is, will I be charged for them because they are being sent from my phone number and not my email?

    This might be a stupid question but I'm quite concerned that my phone bill will be sky high because of it.

    Hi mlemonache,
    Here's a blip from the IOS Message support site:
    On iPhone, if iMessage is unavailable, the message may be sent as SMS or MMS, depending on content. Carrier messaging rates may apply. You can adjust this behavior in iPhone at Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Messages sent using iMessage appear in a light blue bubble, while messages sent using SMS or MMS appear in a green bubble.
    Here is a link to the site:

  • Is there a way to find out where iMessages are being sent from? I've received messages from an unknown email that are offensive and considered to be harassment.

    Is there a way to find out where iMessages are coming from? I've contacted security personnel at my school and I'm brig harassed. I just want it to stop.

    '''Here is an update to my former response.'''
    Here is a safe way to look at an email which you think is suspicious:
    * right click on the message and select 'Save As'
    * the file name will be the email subject followed by an extension of .eml
    * store it in a folder you can find easily, such as your Documents
    * using your file explorer, right click on the file name and open it with Notepad or a similar text editor (NOT Thunderbird!)
    * even though the format is not easy to read, you should be able to see who sent it to you, and also read the message text.
    Since you are looking at the message in a text editor, there is no chance a link can activate something bad. I have used this method many times, and have found several spoofs of email names of my friends.
