Attachments in iMessage only comes through on iPhone/iPad but not Computer OR Computer and not iPhone/iPad

hello all,
i wanted to post about a bug i am experencing on Messages app under os x mountain lion...
when someone tries to send me an imessage with a picture it only comes through to my iphone and ipad but not my laptop.. OR it will come through on my computer but not on my iPhone and iPad
This issue is intermittent it will basicly work when it wants to....
also upon closing imessage i get a message saying there is a file transfer in progress... when i review file transfers it shows any picture file that my friends have attempted to send to me but dont download.... It seems that the picture is trying to download but never does.
anyone else have this problem?

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac: Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out.
Sign out on the iPhone: Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out.
Then, on the phone, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage.
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.

  • IMessage only comes through on MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    Basically, if I start a message on my phone through iMessage, I would expect to see the reply on my phone (as well as my laptop when I get home).
    This is not the case. I sometimes don't get any replies through my phone but when I go home, they all appear on my side bar of my MacBook Pro!!!
    I have set it up so that I can only be reached by my phone number (in the iMessage preferences on Mac) and no E-Mail address is ticked.
    In saying that, on my phone, it is set to 'You can be reached by iMessage at:' my phone number, 2 E-Mail addresses (personal, iCloud and @me).
    I have no clue what is going on but basically only want to have iMessage on my phone all the time and only working with my laptop when it is in use.
    Thanks!

    No error as such but a message saying 'The registering device does not have appropriate credentials'.
    However, I have got the correct details and tried a million times and can login to this page with the same details.
    In the console I see the following:
    [Warning] Empty account query with service: iMesssage
    Killing auth hosts
    Session **** destroyed
    Session **** created
    Not sure why it thinks the account is empty as there is definately something typed in.

  • While iPhone 5 is locked my texts and calls only come through intermittently

    So, this has been happening to me for almost a year now, I have been through everything to try and fix it, I am about to upgrade to the soon to be announced iPhone 6 but I would like an answer on it at least.
    While my iPhone is locked I do not receive calls or texts, now this doesn't happen 100% of the time but probably about 80% of the time. I have had my phone replaced, my sim card replaced, restored my iPhone and been through countless hours with my network provider to try and resolve this, still to this day it happens.
    Anyone have the same issue? And please don't say it it DND (Do Not Disturb) because it is not, I have literally tried everything I can think of, I am also a technical analyst by trade so I have not been naive about trying to sort this out.
    To add, I live in London and it happens everywhere, it is not only happening in a certain area.
    Please someone help.

    I'm talking about the notifications in the lock screen, yes. However, I have the 'View in Lock Screen' option on for all email accounts and it has always been this way, it's just that in the past few days this hasn't been functioning as intended. Now emails only come through once the phone is unlocked, which is annoying as I now have to manually check my mail, meaning that I may miss important emails.
    With the calls, it's happened 100% of the time, again over the past few days, all in the same location which I have never had issues with.
    Because both of these issues have arrised recently, I feel like it might be an issue with the hardware?

  • Emails and calls only come through when my iPhone is unlocked?

    Emails suddenly only seem to be coming through once I have entered my lock screen password and unlocked the phone, whereas previously they were being pushed to the lock screen as normal. I am connected to Wi-Fi constantly with a strong connection (all 3 bars).
    Also, when someone tried to call me recently, the call kept going straight to my voicemail, despite the fact that I had full/almost full signal (4 or 5 bars).
    I have an iPhone 4 running the latest version of iOS and have not changed any settings recently that would affect the behavior of either of these features. The device is in full working order.
    Anyone know what's going on?
    Thanks.

  • I have the earliest version iPad (updated running system) I am trying to use my earbuds. How do I turn off the external audio so the sound only comes through the earbuds?

    I am trying to use earbuds with my iPad Earliest version with updated running system. How do I get the sound to only come through the esrbuds and not be audible to everyone around me? Thanks!

    That's strange.
    You should inky be getting audio from the headphones.
    Make sure that they are plugged in all the way.
    If they aren't, you will get both audio.
    Turn up the volume on your ipad with the buttons.
    where it shows the bell, it should say Headphones.

  • I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?

    I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?
    Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
    Thank you!!

    go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
    you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
    Hope this helps
    NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
    Good luck

    If there's a hardware defect and your phone is under warranty, bring it to Apple for replacement.

  • I have been sent a secure CD of zip folders but double clicking only comes up with the message unable to unarchive, error 1 - operation not permitted, any ideas please?

    I have been sent a secure CD of zip folders but double clicking only comes up with the message unable to unarchive, error 1 - operation not permitted, any ideas please?

    First thing coming to mind:
    do you double-click on the zip files on the CD ?
    Maybe the "unzip" tries to write in-place to the CD which of course is not possible.
    Have you tried to copy one of them to your OSX volume/harddisk and thhen double-click the copy ?

  • HT204150 I deleted my duplicate contacts one by one on my iPad but have lost over 600 contacts on my iPad they are all on my iPhone but when I sync my iCloud I only have 200 contact on my iPad but have all 820 on my iPhone can any one help

    I deleted my duplicate contacts one by one on my iPad but have lost over 600 contacts on my iPad they are all on my iPhone but when I sync my iCloud I only have 200 contact on my iPad but have all 820 on my iPhone can any one help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

    Ok.
    Did you ever have possession of this phone?
    Or did you get lost in the mail?
    You're not answering the question I'm asking, so it's really hard to help you.
    As already stated by Chris and I you can only track your phone if you had findmyiphone enabled in icloud settings.
    Then you can log into icloud.com and use the find my iphone app.
    Since you said you don't have internet, then you can't track it.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone help?

    After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone please help? I am not an advanced user and I would like my photos back, having had no idea I would lose iPhoto in the upgrade!

    Thanks petermac87...but for some reason, the only purchases showing are OS. So assuming iPhoto is in Mountain Lion, I was hoping to look under Hidden Items there as you suggested, but there is no option for that. Only option is to download Mountain Lion again, not iPhoto specifically. Any ideas welcome!
