Chat messages are being delayed

So recently, for one certain skype contact, my messages are being delayed for both of us. I will send a message, but it won't actually appear to that contact for possibly a minute and I don't receive their messages for a while either. They also show as away when they have said their status is online. And since it is a microsoft account, I use outlook.com to chat with them, but it shows they are away and they can't receive my messages at all, and their messages don't show up in that chat at all. When I create a group, it doesn't show for them at all. For my normal skype account, it's the same thing and it is not a microsoft account. I have sync enabled, and this only started recently. What's the problem?

  • Sent messages are being marked as "unread"

    Ever since installing OS X 10.8.3, both my iMac and MBP have been leaving sent messages marked as "unread".  Not all outgoing messages are being left in this unread state, but most are.  Any ideas on why this might be happening and how to fix it?  Is anybody else having the problem?  A search of the forums shows some old material that might be related, but I don't see anything that has any answers.   
    TIA for you help.

    This stopped happening as mysteriously as it started for me. The only change made on my end is that I added some seemingly unrelated filter Rules - around the same time (i can't be entirely certain if it stopped before or after the Rule changes) the proble with sent messages being marked as unread stopped. I doubt that the Rules actually had a direct effect, though perhaps it altered the structure of memory enough to stop the bug from occurring (something which I've seen many times in my 40 years of programming).

  • My wife and I have been texting on our iPhones. All of the sudden all messages are being sent as text. We cannot seem to make the iMessage work.

    Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
    It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
    since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours,  I dont know.......

  • Messages are being deleted automatically

    We have been using TB successfully on Windows 7 for a couple of years having previously used Outlook.
    My wife's incoming e-mail messages are being deleted after one month. They are also deleted from Webmail. The ISP says that they have not been deleted by the ISP but by a 3rd party program. We noticed the problem when searching for an old message. (I just checked using an old XP-enabled computer and all the old messages are there except nothing since June 25 2014.)
    I noted this morning that all of my sent messages have disappeared. For the moment at least they are still on the ISP's webmail.
    I checked our TB settings regarding retention and deletion, including those of 3 addresses that don't have the problem. They all look OK.
    Can somebody please advise on what our next steps should be? Many thanks.

    If you had pop and now want to use imap you need to create another (new) email account in Mail.
    When you start creating a new account, press the option key when you click the Continue button and you will be given the choice of creating the account for pop or imap.

  • Gmail sent messages are being continously moved to Outbox in OS X mail.

    Gmail sent messages are being moved to Outbox in OS X mail. You can not be sure whether they have been sent or going to be sent anyway. No network problems or SMTP problems exist, a variety of IOS and Windows equipment uses gmail without glitches.(OS X 10.9.2)

  • Ensuring messages are being persisted.

    I'm running IMQ 3.5 SP1 with Java 1.4.2_02 on RedHat Linux.
    I have set imq.persist.file.sync.enabled=true in /opt/imq/lib/props/broker/default.properties, but I have noticed that performance improves when there my durable subscribers are not connected to their topics.
    So my question is: how can I verify that message persistance is enabled? It's not mentioned when querying the broker.
    Thanks, Zac.

    This seems strange to me; if steps aren't taken
    (routing and acking) when a durable subscriber is
    inactive until it becomes active again, why
    can't these steps be taken by a different thread
    outside of the publishing process? That it takes
    longer when all parts of the system are active seems
    less-than-ideal.They are handled by different threads but work still needs
    to be performed by the JVM. My point is an active durable
    subscriber requires the broker to do more work than if the
    durable was inactive. Threads help manage that work but
    it doesn't make the cost of performing that work go to zero.
    >
    [testing if the messages are being persisted]If my durable subscribers are active - the condition
    I'm interested in - then won't the messages have been
    delivered to the subscribers already? There would be
    no persisted messages remaining after stopping the
    broker .If your durable subscriber has acknowledged the message
    then the broker will not longer be maintaining the persistent
    copy.
    Here's one way to test persistence:
    1) Start your durable subscriber (it subsribes to a topic)
    2) Kill your durable subscriber (the subscription remains,
    the broker see it as an inactive durable sub)
    3) Send some persistent messages to the topic the durable is
    subscribed to.
    4) Restart the broker.
    5) Restart your durable subscriber. If the messages were persisted
    they would be delivered to the durable sub. If they weren't then
    they were lost when the broker was restarted.

  • Messages are being shared between phones with new ios6

    My messages are being shared with every phone that is using my apple id, how do I turn it off?

    You should sign out of iMessage on your other devices: "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive" then click on your Apple ID and sign out.

  • Why do senders receive a delivery failure notice although messages are being received?

    Why do senders receive a delivery failure notice although messages are being received?

    What you have there is either a jailbroken unit with some crazy custom UI or an eastern knockoff. Give us some photos of the ipad itself, mainly the back and some experts can help.
    If you plug it into iTunes does iTunes even acknowledge that an ipad is connected? If it does then try a restore.
    Failing that, head down to an apple store and see what they can do for you.

  • Since updating to OS5, my text messages are being sent as e-mails.  Also, my contacts do not show the people's phone

    Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5, it seems my texts are being sent as e-mails or in e-mail form. The person I am texting gets a phone number and not my name.  Also, when I click on contacts to text to, where it used to show the phone number and I would touch the number to text, it just shows the persons name, no phone#.
    Thanks for any help!
    Kerry

    Settings > Messages > Send and Received > Uncheck any number/email that does not belong to the device
    Note: The little blue (>) will give you an option to remove the number/email from the device
    Note: Check this setting on any device(s) using the same Apple ID

  • HT3529 I receive double messages when someone sends me a message and my messages are being delivered twice. Why is this happening and how can I correct this? Iphone messages

    My text messages are coming in double on my iphone as well as my outgoing messages. How can I correct this?

    Hi,
    In the Messages > Preferences > General Section is a Line about When I quit, set my Status to Off line.
    If you tick this it should stop all Off line Messages from any source from starting up Messages.
    Basically it comes from iChat and AIM and Jabber Logins  which in AIM's case and some Jabber server can do Off Line IMs.
    This means if some Messages whilst you are Off line the server will store the Messages until you are on Line.
    However IMAgent in Lion and Mountain Lion and iChatAgent in earlier versions run  in the background all the time from Mac Start up.
    It is the support app that "Listens" when you have not started the App.
    It will launch the app when an Off Line IM comes in.
    I have found that iMessages will also launch the Messages app if this setting is not set.
    (realistically you are never Off Line with iMessages)
    It can help if another device is receiving the iMessages.  This way Sync versions of the iMessages don't also wake up the app.
