IMessage does not continue a conversation on another device

Recently I have not been able to continue an IMessage conversation that was started on my MacBook Air on my IPhone 5 and vice versa.  While my MacBook Air shows that Messaging is open on my IPhone the two devices do not share the information.  I have gone into Preferences on Messaging and looked at my account.  It shows the email address that is associated with my Apple ID but it does not allow me to enter my cell phone number anywhere.  My cell phone number is listed under my Apple ID.

Hello suzietennis,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues on your devices. If you are having issues continuing your iMessage conversations across your devices as you have in the past, you may want to double-check the settings outlined in the Use iMessage and FaceTime with multiple devices section of the following article, including the following sections on issues with missing phone numbers:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
Sincerely,
- Brenden

  • My Mac Mini (2009 version) does not let me boot from another device

    I can see the other devices fine, it is just when I select any one the system keeps trying to boot and I get nothing. I can stop the retry process and choose my Mac hard drive ok. Of special note is I have recently discovered that my DVD drive does not function (not sure if this is relevant).

    As Squiggle wrote, the external drive was definitely bootable.  It was a clean installation of Leopard (retail package) on an empty drive.  I tested it on my own mini before going over.  It did not boot on his mini.  The drive was visible.  It mounted properly.  It was visible, and selectable, in the "Startup Disk" system preference.  The mini went into an endless reboot cycle.  The only way to interrupt the cycle was to hold down the option key and select the internal drive (yes, the external drive was listed at this point as well).
    After giving up on that approach we tried TDM, using the retail Leopard DVD in the DVD drive in my PowerBook. Again, the drive was visible, and selectable.  The same reboot cycle occurred, and the same method had to be used to break the cycle.
    Yes, I zapped PRAM (not that I expected it to do anything).
    The DVD drive in the mini appears to have problems, but will that prevent booting from any device other than the internal drive?
    I'm stumped.

    iMessage does not work after upgrade to iOS 8.1.3 on my iPad 4

    I Fixed it by trying to sign in with a different ID and canceling when it asked For a password and then signed in with my ID and it works! No more error message. I got this idea from another discussion. Thank you for replying though.

    If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

    My iMessage does not appear to be working. Every time I go to reply to an existing message it just appears as normal text. I have tried to create a new message but it still just defaults to normal messages. I have checked my settings but it is all set up as it should be. Is there anything I've missed or could try? Thanks

    Try the following:
    In Finder, select the problematic volume and then press command-I.
    Expand the Sharing & permissions section if it's collapsed.
    If the section is locked, then unlock it by pressing the padlock button and then authenticating as directed.
    Tick/check Ignore ownership on this volume.

    Hello! I cannot download applications, when I try to do it the application says "waiting" but it does not continue downloading! Can someone help me????

    Download only one application at a time.
    Click all downloading applications until they all say "Paused".  Then click one at a time, let it complete downloading, then click the next and repeat.

    Please can somebody help me? My imessage does not work, I try to activate it but it says an error ocurred during activation. try again 

    Its possible that the server can be down now. Have you ever used it before?  If you want, try resseting the phone by just holding the sleep/wake key and the home button together for 10 seconds.  Then wait 5 seconds when it turns off and press the sleep/wake button to turn it back on.  Then try it again.  Let me know what the results are.

  • Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

    Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

    Many, many thanks for both of you Todd and Rick.
    to Rick:
    I suppose you mean the Color Settings in Project Settings as follows:
    - Working Space: None
    - Match Legacy ... Gamma Adjustments checked ON
    But it does not correct the colors in effects. And checking or unchecking Make Movie/Output Module Settings/Color Management/Profile/Preserve RGB does not make any difference.
    to both of you:
    Those parts of the video image that does not have color effects are just fine. In these parts the color is preserved when reimporting to FCP. However, those parts having color effects (except Levels, as decribed earlier) have altered color results. So, only the parts having effects affecting color are misinterpreted in the image area. The mismatch is of course seen in AE, before making the movie.
    What I ment with "Color Management not working properly" is that (instead of "disabling" it) Color Management does not seem to be able to correct this "misinterpretation" or difference in effect handling between AE 6 and 10.
    So, would you have any solution for this problem?
    Again, many thanks for your fast replies!

  • IMessage does not show my phone number on iMac.

    iMessage does not show my phone number on iMac.  My family has 3 iPhones we sync to this computer and only the other two are available to checkmark in preferences on the iMac.  I tried updating my profile online, but only my number is listed on my account. iMessages works fine on my phone.  I've tried signing out and back in and rebooting.

    Hi,
    My Apple ID profile does not contain my mobile (well either of them actually) number it make no difference to iMessages.
    To get an iPhone Number on the Mac the Apple ID must be added to an iPhone AND when you get the Pop ups on the Mac they should be accepted.
    If the the Apple ID is on the iPhone check it is set for Messages and not just iCloud.
    Check it is also set as a Send and Receive item And that the iPhone Number is itself (this should be greyed out so you can't turn it Off).
    If the apple ID is missing then add it.
    If the iPhone Number seems to be turned Off then Remove the Apple ID
    Set the iPhone to Airplane Mode.
    On taking it out of Airplane Mode check  the iPhone Number is active for iMessages and Verifies and logs in.
    Check by sending a Message to the Apple ID so the Mac sees it.
    Now add back the Apple ID and make sure that verifies.
    Now restart the app on the Mac.
    this should prompt the Pop ups.
    Accept these to add the iPhone number to the Receive At list (It will also be added to the Send From drop down list)

    Macafee security center is may be the culprit.
    Open Macafee then: select;
    Internet & Network > configure
    Firewall > Advanced
    Programm Permissions > scroll down to Itunes
    Highlight (click on)
    Then Grant full access to Itunes.
    APPLY then OK
    When you select store from Itunes you will need to register with Itunes.
    Try that or:
    Disable your firewall.

  • Acrobat XI does not support the conversion?

    I have Acrobat XI when I take a batch of PDF files and try to combine them into one PDF file I keep getting this error message......
    "Acrobat does not support the conversion of one or more of your files to PDF. Please remove these files or go to Settings and choose the PDF Portfolio option". I am making a electronic disk and the Portfolio option won't work for what I am doing. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have converted these files before and never had any problems with this. I have tried this on a new computer and now I get the error message. I attached a picture of the error.
    I have Acrobat XI on a
    Dell Optiplex 3020

    I just got done and went through every file and opened them to check the Document properties, then security tab, then security method and all of them say no security. Have any other ideas?

  • Forloop does not continue if cmdlet fails

    Dear All,
    pretty new to powershell, might be a simple question, i'm trying to iterate a list of computers to find event logs and store them in an array, however if get-winevent fails for somereason, the next server in the list does not continue, please suggest.
    foreach ($server in $servers)
    if (test-connection $server -quiet)
       $arr1+= Get-WinEvent -computername $server -MaxEvent 100 -FilterHashtable @{Logname="System"; ProviderName="Microsoft-Windows-WindowsUpdateClient"; ID=19,20;StartTime=(Get-Date).AddHours(-24)} |select Machinename,TimeCreated,ID,Message

    Dear Mike / Lain,
    Thanks for the input , this is my query, lets say I have 3 servers, Server1,server2,server3, 
    for server1 I get the output in csv, server2 I'm able to ping but unable to run Get-winevent due to firewall, this script, will not skip server2 as there is no result to store in the array, instead of going to server3, it jumps out of the loop and goes to
    catch loop. Yes I have set
    $ErrorActionPreference to silentycontinue,  
    Try
          $servers=get-content C:\servers.txt
          $date=(Get-Date).AddDays(-7)
          foreach ($server in $servers)
            if (test-connection $server -quiet)
                  $arr1+= Get-WinEvent -computername $server -MaxEvent 100 -FilterHashtable @{Logname="System"; ProviderName="Microsoft-Windows-WindowsUpdateClient"; ID=19,20;StartTime=(Get-Date).AddHours(-24)} |select Machinename,TimeCreated,ID,Message
                   $arr1+= "`r`n"
                  Else { "unable to ping $server" >> c:\scripts\Unabletoping.txt }
             if ($arr1)
              {$arr1 |export-csv c:\scripts\EventLogs.csv -notypeinformation}
              else
                 {"No matching system log events found for $server" >> c:\scripts\NoLogEvents.txt
              if ($arr2)
