HT3529 Issue With Getting Messages To Work On Mac

So I have been using messages with my phone for a while now. I recently restarted my computer and now I can't send/receive texts on my macbook. I've tried just about everything to fix this issue but I can't solve it. I've even tried signing out of my Apple ID and re-signing back in. Sadly there isn't an Apple store near by and I am trying to fix this issue relatively soon and without having to take a trip to the store. Any suggestions?

Do you have Microsoft Office 2011?

  • Anyone had or having issues with getting nVidia NVS 450 resolution to work?

    Hi all,
    We got a new C20 with a nvidia NVS 450 card--and a ThinkVision monitor. The C20 had Windows 7 preinstalled; the out-of-the-box resolution was 640x480 and we couldn't get it to go higher than that! The ThinkVision and the video card are connected using the DisplayPort cable that came with the unit. After reinstalling the video card driver that came with the unit (on a CD that contains drivers for Windows and Linux), we could never get the resolution to go beyond 640x480. We gave up thinking it must be some quirk with Windows 7. We were going to install Linux on the C20 anyway, so we moved on doing that.
    We installed Fedora 14 (64-bit) installed the nvidia video driver that was on the CD and can't get the display resolution greater than 640x480. After a few days of trial-n-error referencing various online forums, we managed to get the resolution up to 800x600, but not the expected 1900-something resolution the ThinkVision and the video card supports.
    Has anyone had issues with getting the video card resolution to work? If so, were you able to resolve the problem? We thought we'd toss this here instead of calling up Lenovo support first because usually with technical issues, we get more intelligent replies than over-the-phone. Also, waiting for replies on a forum is less frustrating than being put on hold over the phone.

    Solved!

    Thank you for your reply.
    I was lucky to get a hold of another monitor and when I connected that, I got the full resolution. After much testing, I determined that it was a faulty monitor and it had nothing to do with the video card. I eventually got a replacement monitor for the one that wasn't giving me the full resolution.
    Afterwards, I went ahead and got the latest nvidia drivers from their Web site. Everything works really well now.

  • Issues with getting the slide button to work after upgrade to iOS 7.02 and 7.03

    Ever since upgrading to iOS 7.02 and 7.03 having issues with getting the slide button to work to open up iPad 2.  Happened last week and was able to restore it to new and get it to work again and it worked great until one week later (this morning) doing the same thing.  Have tried restoring iPad to new 3 times (via itunes) and still unable to get the slide button to move so can use the iPad.  IPad able to charge, able to restore, able to sync with itunes even able to recover but not able to get past first screen where you have to slide to access iPad.  Any help would be greatly appeciated.  Live about 300 miles from nearest Apple store.

    I am beginning to wonder whether there isn't some weird problem with that Home button.
    Try this: Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch = On
    This will place a button on the iPad's screen.
    You can move this button anywhere on the screen.
    This button gives you - amongst many other things - a soft Home button.
    To turn your iPad on, you can use the Sleep/wake button or move a small magnet across the bezel of the iPad where the volume controls are.
    If you use the magnet, then: Settings > General > Lock / Unlock = On
    Now should not need to press the Home button anymore.
    If this method allows you to use your iPad without a hitch, then suspect hardware problems with the Home button.

  • I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s

    I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s from AT&T.  I do not download anything huge at all.
    I looked into it and figured out that the phone dials out nightly at 12:29am every night.   I went into my settings and went to general..about..diagnostics and useage..then diagnostics and useage data to see this.  I then clicked don't send...but I am still getting useage alerts.  Can anyone help me please...
    Thanks

    Honestly, from reading the thread linked, they all come off as a bunch of whiney people that cannot be bothered to help themselves.
    Little to nothing in that thread indicates an issue beyond inept consumers.  Yes, I read several pages on the incessant gripes.  Very few made any actual attempts to troubleshoot issues before whining about the "Apple issue" and those that did actual troubleshooting got their issues resolved.
    So no, Apple has nothing to fix beyond a few specific devices that are experiencing hardware issues.
    If you have actually put forth effort and done the basic troubleshooting, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.  Whining will get nothing accomplished.

    I have been having a issue with getting the colors on my monitor to match the colors fro my print lab. I now have the monitor calibrated to match the prints but when I open elements it doesn't use the same colors. If i have it use the calibrated profile by changing the color management settings, the color picker no longer shows true white or black. How do I get elements 12 to honor the new calibrated settings?

    Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
    I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
    Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
    It says ;
    Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
    Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
    Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
    Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
    Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
    Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
    Continuing...
    And stops ...
    Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

  • I just started having an issue with my bank website working properly. They have told me it is because of the last safari upgrade. Is this being resolved?

    I just started having an issue with my bank website working properly. They have told me it is because of the last safari upgrade. Is this being resolved?

    You might want to consider "voting with your feet" and taking your business to another bank.  When they tell you the upgrade is the problem, it is really their problem and not yours.  If you don't want to do that, the suggestion that you try another browser is absolutely correct.

    I have been suggested to down grade to 10.6.6 due to issues with Adobe and Apple working things out. I have downloaded 10.6.6 but wont let me install. Any ideas?

    Yes, simply reinstall from your Snow Leopard installer disc.  The reinstall will not erase the hard drive.  After reinstalling you can upgrade to 10.6.6 with your updater.

    Hi am having issues with getting the list of users from the Active Directory, can anyone help me with this!

    Hi Jason,
    Try this:
    1.  In Ultiboard select Tools>>Netlist Editor>>Pins, press the Delete button
    2.  Select all nets in the Select the Net to Delete dialog and then press the Delete button.  This will clear all nets in the layout, don't worry all traces, parts are still on the design.
    3.  Go to Multisim and select Transfer>>Forward annotate to Ultiboard.    This will add all nets that you removed back and it should fix the pin problem

  • Messages stopped working on mac

    I've been using Messages on my Mac, iPhone, iPad, & iPad Mini for a long time. Yesterday I had to change my Apple ID; for some reason, even though I had it correct, Apple said the ID was wrong. Once I changed it, I made the change everywhere: iPhone, iPad, & iPad Mini settings, Internet & iCloud settings on my Mac, iTunes, everywhere I could think of and it's working alright in everywhere it was changed.
    Messages is working on both iPads & iPhone but it's stopped working on my Mac. When I open Messages on my Mac, I get the menubar across the top of the page but the page is either blank or there's a box in the middle of the screen that says something along the lines of "No conversation selected." In the upper left corner of the box, there are the green & the yellow dots; no red dot.  I can't get to Messages Preferences as it is now greyed out, as are almost all of the options in the menubar.
    On my devices in Messages under Settings, it shows both of my email addresses under Send & Receive.
    I've tried restarting my Mac but that didn't help. I'm running Yosemite 10.10.1 on my Mac and iOS 8.1.1 on all my devices.
    I'd appreciate any ideas as to how to fix this.

    HI
    Whilst your Apple ID (presumably the @mac.com) may have been the original and been linked to @me.com at the MobileMe period and then to iCloud (@icloud.com) you need to keep to the same Apple ID through out (the iMessages server seems to treat them as different IDs to some extent).
    In the Finder use the Go Menu > Go to Folder and enter ~/Library/Preferences
    Find and Drag to the Trash com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist
    On the iPhone remove those emails that are not the Apple ID in use.
    On Restarting the Mac version you will have to re-enter the Apple ID.
    If you then restart again you should get the pop ups to say what the iPhone is using (linking the iPhone number to the Apple ID)
    Once you enable Text Forwarding on the iPhone then the Mac Version should generate and show you the Code to then enter in the iPhone's dialogue box to pair the devices.
    If each Contact is turning red as you try to Send and reporting that the Contact is "Not Registered with iMessages" then you have a different issue.
    This is caused by a partial login to the iMessages server and it seems it is one of those that only contacting Apple Support and saying you have an Account issue with the iMessages server from your Mac can it get sorted. (make sure you say it is an Account issue)
    Of course it is the iPhone that is actually sending the SMS messages so it does need to have Carrier service at this point.

  • Issue with Photo Sharing on iPhoto on Mac

    Hellp everyone, this is my first time posting on the Apple Support communities. I have been having issues with my Photo Sharing on my Mac (Iphoto 11). I recently was on vacation and wanted to share the photos with my girlfriend and a few family members. I uploaded my photos to Iphoto on my mac and then went to Share, Photo Stream, and then crated a Photo Stream of our vacation. It asks me to name the photo stream and invite people. When I click on ok it creats the photo stream and the people I invited get invitations to join the photo stream, however, when I go to look at the photo stream there is no photos in it and none of the people i invited see any of the photos either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

    SOLVED!
    I had the same question.  Visited this thread and was disappointed to hear the feature was gone.
    Then I thought it just COULDN'T be.  So I kept tapping.  AND FOUND IT!
    Basically, when you are in your Photos App, as a previous poster said, it now divides your photos into "Moments".  These moments are arragned by Place and Date.
    Wherever it says the name of a place, just tap the name of the place (above the tiled thumbnails of the pics taken in that place) and you will be taken to a map, centered on the Moment in question.  Use finger gestures to zoom in and out, and you will see the pics you have taken, georeferenced and tagged to the locations you took them, as before (except now in IOS7 it uses Apple Maps, not Google).
