Computer not receiving messages

When I first got my Mac mini it would receives messages that people would send to my iPhone. It was annoying so I turned it off. Now i can't figure out how to turn it back on. In Message under preference, I can only ad email. I am signed into iCloud.
It was receiving texts from iPhone and Android devices. But I did something very easy to make it stop......now I don't know what it was.
Thanks

I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. Tried to follow some suggestions found here but nothing is working. Any new suggestions?

I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. I've followed several threads I've read here but nothing is working.

For such situation, I'd suggest the following:
1. Remove current installed office with the fix-it tool in
KB2739501, and follow the "Remove Office manually" section to make sure there are no remaining files
2. Either download a trial version of Office 2013 from
http://office.microsoft.com/, or from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj937170
3. Reboot your computer in clean boot mode, and run setup again

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Switched to Samsung GS5 2 months ago, still not receiving messages from iphone users

I switched to a non iphone over two months ago and ever since then I cannot receive messages from iphone users sending in imessage format. They have to turn imessage on and off to be able to text me. This has been extremely inconvenient since I need to receive these messages for work in addition to my personal life. I have tried multiple suggestions I've read about, still nothing works. It's like this is apple's way of keeping customers using their iphone instead of switching for fear of not receiving messages. They won't really fix it either when we all know technology is advanced enough to fix this. HELP.

Can’t get text messages from an iPhone - Apple Support

TS2755 My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.

My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.
I can use my ipad to send messages, but it only moniltors the ones i send with the ipad. All the other messages I get on my iphone are missing.
Any idea why?

"The bubble in the green background" indicates the message was an SMS (cellular text) message. If the background were blue, it would mean the message was an iMessage.
The difference is important. Your iPad is not a cellular telephone. It cannot send or receive cellular text or MMS messages. It is, however, an Apple device which means it can communicate using Apple's iMessage to/from other Apple devices (typically over WiFi).

Asynchronous subscriber is not receiving messages

          Hi,
          I have a problem with stand alone asynchronous subscriber.The asynchronous subscriber
          is not receiving messages even though there are messages published to the same
          topic to which this subscriber has subscribed.
          When i run asynchronous subscriber it should wait indefinitely to receive messages
          but this subscriber waits for some time and exits. iam using weblogic7.0 sp3.
          Thanks in advance

          I think WL JMS has had this behavior since version 4.51? At
          least since 6.0. You are the first I recall ever desiring
          this behavior. You are welcome to file an enhancement request
          with WL support.

          I think we need to agree to disagree here. You are depending
          on a side-effect that the main() can't exit until all async
          consumers are closed. This behavior is not defined in the JMS spec.
          BTW, there is JMS compliant and then there is JMS compliant. I can
          easily list a good many significant failings of "JMS compliant"
          vendors. I don't intend to spread FUD, but want to make
          the point that "JMS compliant" does not come even close
          to meaning "tested" or even full compliance with JMS spec - it
          just means that the vendor (may have) passed the (relatively basic)
          Sun compliance tests.

HT3529 I am confused about messaging. Shouldn't I be able to send and receive messages with cellular data off? I can usually send the message, but often do not receive messages until I either have wifi or turn cellular on.

I am confused about messaging. Shouldn't I be able to send and receive messages with cellular data off and without wifi? I can send the message but often do not receive messages from others, iPhone or other, until I turn on cellular or wifi.

Depends on the type of Message.
SMS messages will send and receive with data off. and while you can guarantee you send using SMS you cannot guarantee that whoever replies to you does also. They may be replying thorugh iMessage if they are using iPhones.
However Android should be sending through SMS.
You can turn off iMessage if you want to, though people with limtied SMS text messaging in their plans may not appreciate it, and stop messaging you.

I can not receive messages and i can't send messages also if someone rings me it, it rings at their end and then goes to voice mail but nothing at my end

Talk to your carrier. Sounds like something is not provisioned right on your account.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Mail does not receive messages after upgrade to Yosemite

Just upgraded to Yosemite. Mail will send but will not receive messages.
Anybody else have this issue?

Mail not receiving messages

I just updated to Yosemite. My Mail account can send messages but not received messages. I tried creating a new account, but same result as my old account. My wife has a Mail account identical to mine, except for her E-Mail address, and she sends and receives okay. We have the same domain; just hers is [email protected] Mine is [email protected] The Connection Doctor successfully connects to both the incoming and outgoing mail servers. The Activity Window shows:
      "[Don] Fetching new mail
     Preparing to retrieve messages...
for a long time and nothing else.
I did find the following messages in the System Log:
11/08/2014 3:33:09.074 PM    Mail[393]    -[MFPOPConnection fetchMessages:totalBytes:] failed: Error Domain=MCMailErrorDomain Code=1029 "The attempt to send data to the server “(null)” failed." UserInfo=0x608000650b00 {NSLocalizedDescription=The attempt to send data to the server “(null)” failed.}
Also I noticed in Mail is the menu Menu Bar>Mailbox>Get New Mail>Don is disabled, but Menu Bar>Mailbox>Get New Mail>Glenda is enabled. Both accounts are shown being online.
Finally, I tried my account on my wife's MacBook Pro and my mail was received okay. So it has to be something on my MacPro.
I've spent 2 days trying to resolve this issue without success, but I'm at a loss. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Don

Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to search for the name of the mail server you're having trouble with. Double-click one of the items and check the box marked Show password in the inspector window. You'll be prompted for your keychain password to confirm. Make a note of the user name and password. Then delete every "Internet Password" item in the search results. Quit Keychain Access.
Quit and relaunch Mail. You'll be prompted for the account user name and password. Enter the information you noted earlier and check the box to save it in the Keychain.

Mac Mail POP Account Not Receiving Messages

Using Mac Mail, I am suddenly not receiving messages in a POP account. The gmail account I use is working normally. Under connection doctor both accounts are green. Help, please?

Same problem here since upgrading to Mail 7.1 (1827). All the settings are seemingly correct. The emails are marked as 'Read' on the server but are not downloaded.
The emails are also deleted a week later as set in preferences.
Thinking the emails may have gone elsewhere I used Spotlight to look for them. No success there.
Real puzzle and yet another glitch on the latest Apple Mail.
Come on Apple, get your act together.
