Messages not working after 10.9.2 upgrade - XPCIMDMessageStoreSendXPCMessage fails

I have upgraded five machines to 10.9.2, but one of them has run into a persistent problem with messages.
On startup, I get a Message that an internal error has ocurred and asks me to relaunch. After that the window comes up and the acount window shows me logged in, but the history is not updated and new messages take forever to deliver or do not go through at all. They usually do not update on the local display.
The console log shows lot of failures like these:
- 2/27/14 6:33:44.954 PM imagent[371]: [Warning] __XPCIMDMessageStoreSendXPCMessage failed too many times...bailing!
I have set up another account and tried logging in from it, but it shows the same behavior.
The firewall is off, certificate seem to be fine. When I log out and back in, the other systems devices get all the nag messages about the system and numbers being added, so it is communicating with the server. But messages are not coming through.
I have cleared all preferences and caches, but the behavior does not change.
I have reverted the system to 10.9 by installing over it. Messages immediately works fine (same preferences etc.) Everything works great, but I'd rather not live with the SSL bug.
I have upgraded using the Combo Update and another time using the App Store. The behavior stays the same.
The other four machines and my 4 iOS devices are all working as expected.
Does anybody have any ideas? My family and friends use Messages a lot, so I need it on my main machine.
Thanks,

Hi,
I will presume again then.
I would also try these one at a time.  Doing it this way is less invasive than doing them altogether.
The Console Message looks more like it belongs to an iMessage sending than an AIM, Jabber or Yahoo ones.
In this case I would try deleting com.apple.imessages.bag.plist
This is not the Account info for iMessages but it is the server the app (and IMAgent) connect to.
If that does not work I would try the iMessages account one (com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist)
This is the one in use in Mavericks.
You may still have the Mountain Lion one present (com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist)
You could try using Activity Monitor to Force Quit IMAgent but you first need to turn Off FaceTime even if it is not open (IMAgent does it's "Listening" as well as for the Messages app.
It goes without saying the Messages app should also be Quit.
I would again restart the computer when Quit the IMAgent app.

    Welcome to the HP Forums  MillaMagia,
    I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
    I can help you with this issue.
    Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
    You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
    USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
    Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
    I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
    Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
    How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
    Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
    Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
    Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
    If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
    Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
    Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
    Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls

    iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......

    You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router.  If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone.  All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/
    Edit: Some of us don't have the option of resetting our DNS servers.  I run my own for example for caching purposes.

  • E7 Nokia Messaging not working after anna update

    hi
    nokia messaging not working after anna update. when i
    -choose provider (hotmail/gmail/yahoo...etc)
    -enter username & password
    -click OK to T&C
    -get error message: "cannot enable this service on the device"
    any ideas?

    I'm having a similar issue. It appears to only impact Hotmail accounts. For me though, this happened without updating the OS. The email client is simply failing to connect to the Hotmail interface. Only two possibilities, either Microsoft changed something on the email gateway or Nokia changed something on their end. Either way, it's not working and has been out of commission for the past week. If this is how corporate friends get along, I'd hate to see what happens in a adversarial relationship.

  • 7 u j m keys not working after 10.8.1 upgrade, late 2008 aluminum Macbook

    That's all, these keys do not work after update/upgrade today. They were working fine right before i did the update and are not working now. If I hit the M ket a few times i do get some garbage. Help?

    Thanks, but still the same. It boot normally only if there isn't any usb device attach to the computer. I'm using usb mouse instead of bluetooth mouse and it happens not to boot normally like usual.
    The technician said it would be okay if any usb devices attach to the computer during the boot apparently it won't boot normally.
    Any alternative sir?

  • A1: Home button not working after Ideapad A1 ICS upgrade

    So yesterday I finally tried the ICS upgrade for my Ideapad A1. It worked OK besides all data on internal memory and SD being deleted so I had to reinstall all my apps or restore from Titanium backup.
    In any case the only real problem is that the home button is not working after the upgrade. Does anybody else have this problem and maybe even a solution?
    Thanks!

    Hi, Im using A1 16G and tried to upgrade to ICS for couple of days i read too many articles in different forums....
    Can you put any instruction on how you made it?
    Thanks

  • MSI GS70 20D Touchpad not working after login when I upgraded to 8.1

    Short situation: I upgraded my laptop to windows 8.1, and the touchpad stopped working on the start/desktop screens. I could move it before I logged in, and after it would work for a few seconds, but then it would just stop. An external mouse works just fine, but I still don't want my touchpad not working.
    I looked on the MSI USA technical support page, and it said to delete the old drivers for the touchpad and download new ones. I deleted the drives, but every time I try to download the new ones, I get a window that says my touchpad isn't plugged in, and that the drive isn't compatible with my touchpad, which doesn't make sense to me because I looked up my product specifically and tried all three touchpad drivers. None of them worked.
    Now I can't use the touchpad at all because I deleted the drivers, so it would seem that the computer doesn't know it has a touchpad because it won't register the touchpad in my devices tab.
    Does anyone know what I can do to solve this? Or to at least get the touchpad to register again? I just got this computer for Christmas, I've treated it very well so it hasn't banged up against anything or been dropped or mistreated, so I cannot understand why this is happening. It worked before the 8.1 update, so I'm pretty sure the issue has something to do with that.

    UPDATE: So I managed to fix the touch pad by deleting the driver and rebooting, which is weird because I removed the driver completely and never reinstalled it, so the computer shouldn't really know it has a touch pad. But every time I reboot the computer after fixing it, the touch pad goes back to it's old problem and I need to redelete and reboot all over again.
    Also, My computer has begun to randomly freeze and not respond to anything, with one such event leading to a blue screen with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR message. The computer has frozen a total of 6 times, at different moments; when I'm typing on microsoft word, at the login screen, even right when it starts up and the msi loading screen is up. 5 of these times have required a forced shut down, the first time the computer shut off on it's own because it ran out of battery power.
    Finally, my computer has begun to periodically for long stretches of time stopped detecting wireless networks and is asking to be plugged into an ethernet cable to connect to the internet. This has never happened to me before, and I know I haven't turned off my network sharing center.
    I'm not sure why this is all suddenly happening. It's not like I'm banging my laptop against walls. I'm very careful when I move and use my GS70, so these problems are greatly concerning to me because I just got this computer at Christmas.

  • Content Server not working after 5.0.2 upgrade

    We upgraded the plumtree to 5.0.2. After upgrade, content server portlets not working properly. When I publish my portlet, Interface says it is published, HTML file generated at the published location, but log says
    com.plumtree.search.UnknownTypeException: IndexManager.enqueue() : Could not find PTDocMaker for key PTCONTENT
    Portlet displays
    Error: No Url is available for this portlet. It may not have been published.
    Any Idea ?

    Hi Ravi, from the Release Notes for Content Server 5.0.2, there's this note "Publish Dialog does not show any error when search index fails but an error "com.plumtree.search.UnknownTypeException: IndexManager.enqueue() : Could not find PTDocMaker for key PTCONTENTTEMPLATE" is recorded in pcs.log. (Issue #27541) "
    So you should make sure that the search server is running (just by doing a banner search). Assuming that's fine (it probably is), the likely culprit is an installation problem. Check the Content Server pcs.log file (located in PT_HOME\ptcs\5.0\settings\logs) for any error messages related to search api initialization. This cryptic error you're observing occurs when the search api initialization fails for some reason, the error is not gracefully caught and surfaced to the user. The pcs.log file may give a clue.

  • Open Dataset for input in BINARY MODE not working after ECC 6.0 upgrade

    Hi All,
    Our requirement is to download an XML file from the application server and there is a customized program to download these files.
    This program uses the statement,  Open dataset ...for input in BINARY MODE
    and it works perfect for 4.7. There were no issues. But, after the upgrade to ECC 6.0 this does not work.
    When the data is read in ECC 6.0 , it is shown in some special characters and it could not be opened with XML editor and the file is not completely downloaded. I read through the forum and tried the following statement as well,
    Open dataset....for input in LEGACY BINARY MODE.
    After this statement, there were no special characters, but there is a blank space introduced before every character.
    Example : TEST(actual)
                      T E S T (After the legacy binary mode)
    Could you please let me know if there is any solution to rectify this problem. Appreciate your help.
    Thanks a million.
    Edited by: Manikd on May 12, 2011 3:52 PM

    But this program was already using BINARY MODE and after upgrade this is not working. I know, it may work in TEXT MODE. However, I cannot change the whole program to TEXT mode now.

  • GPS not working after froyo 2.2 upgrade

    I upgraded to froyo 2.2 yesterday and since then my GPS won't work.  The only way I can get it to work is to turn GPS on, power off/on my phone, then the GPS will work when the phone is first powered back on.  If I turn off the GPS off and then try it again later, it won't work again.  I don't normally leave GPS turned on because it drains the battery too fast, but now I have to restart my phone any time I want to use GPS?!?!?

    OK. Not just me then.  I have 3 Fascinates since last Sept.  First couple months, none of the 3 GPS would work.
    Then after first verizon patch/upgrade, all 3 worked better. Then after 2nd and finally 3rd EA28, GPS worked
    GREAT on all 3 phones. Been working great since the EA28 upgrade.
    Yesterday, 2 of the 3 got their Froyo 2.2 upgrade.
    Now, the GPS on both of them quit working again.  They either never get a signal lock or take over 20 minutes to get one
    and IF they do, its a once a day event. 
    The one that didnt yet receive its 2.2 update, its GPS is still working fine. ( though I'm sure it will quit post update as well).
    Since all 3 worked great last 4 or 5 months, I can only assume the gps radios in all 3 are fine and this is some kind
    of Android bug.  ( i've seen similiar posts in other forums for other phones after gettting various android updates. )
    So, $64,000 question for Verizon, Samsung or whomever: How do I fix this now and keep it fixed ??
    ( I've cleared all cache data I can find, turned off/on, removed battery turned off/on ...Nothing helps on either phone.)
    I have not yet tried a 'factory reset' , though I could on  1 of the 2 phones.
    Thanks.

  • DVD/DVR does not work after 10.4.7 upgrade

    Hi!
    After updating to 10.4.7. The PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-105 does not work !!!
    It won't recognize, spin, or eject discs automatically. It does let me insert and eject discs manually, and that's it.
    I'm sure it's due to the upgrade and not becasue the drive went bad or something.
    Any clues what to do?
    (Is it possible to go BACK at the previous upgrade when such things happen?)
    Thank You!

  • Power key not working after few hours of upgrade to Lollipop

    Please, i need urgent assistance as the power key/button on my device isnt working. I can't switch off the device and it worries me cos this started few hours after i performed the upgrade to Lollipop.
    Urgent response would be highly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, it's not much more that you can do as troubleshooting than the software repair that Thommo mentioned. If there still are no reaction when pressing the ON/OFF button after a software repair, it sounds more related to a hardware issue that needs to be examined by a technician at an authorized service center. You can contact your local support team for further information about nearest service center and/or how to proceed with this in the best possible way:

    W e have upgraded from 10g to 11.1.1.6.8 recently. For all the reports conditional formatting for charts is not working for us which used to work in 10g.
