IMessage has randomly stopped working on my Macbook Pro, what can I do?

My iMessage on my macbook pro has stopped working. I can log in just fine and I have logged out and back in but still cannot send or receive messages. It worked just fine at my house and last year at college but for whatever reason it has stopped working now. What can I do to fix this?
I keep everything up to date and currently have no updates ready at this time.
I also cannot currently FaceTime from my computer either, but both of these work just fine on my iPhone 5 which is connected to the same wifi.

Right now the best thing to do is be patient. The last six days many people have been reporting problems with FaceTime. The source of the problems remains unknown.

  • Why does the keyboard randomly stop working on my macbook pro in Firefox?

    It just happens randomly and only in Firefox. If I close out and reopen Firefox it works again. (On the beta update channel version 37)

    it will happen cause it is the beta version so it will happen until it is fixed''dmetre [[#question-1051346|said]]''

  • My iMessage and Facetime have totally stopped working on my macbook pro - im still connected to wifi and my internet is working fine...what happened???

    Help! My Facetime and iMessage just totally stopped working on my MacBook Pro - my wifi is still connected and all other apps/internet are working fine.  What happened??

    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
    and 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. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

    I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
    Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider?  How is is at all relevant to Apple??  In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

  • HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3

    HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3.  When I purchased the monitor a few weeks ago it worked perfectly when computer was in clamshell mode or with lid open. Now external display has stopped working.  When I turn on display it scans for signal but does not find it and then immediately goes into sleep mode.  I am using a DVI connection with the adapter for the mini display plug.  REALLY FRUSTRATING. Any help would be extremely appreciated. 

    Hi lancekatigbak,
    If you're having issues with the display out on your MacBook Pro, you may want to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

  • Why has my USB Superdrive suddenly stopped working with my MacBook Pro?

    Why has my Apple USB SuperDrive suddenly stopped working with my MacBook Pro?
    Normally I plug it in and insert a CD or DVD and it is immediately recognised, but today it took the DVD, made a 'whirring' noise for a few seconds and then stopped without being recognised.

  • The dash key has stopped working on my macbook pro

    help!!the dash key has stopped working on my macbook pro mid 2010 and its amazing how much i need to use it has anyone else had this problem with keys and would they be able to fix it at the genius bar at my apple store

    Well if you took it completely apart and couldn't get it to work by operating the silicone "cone" then the trace or contactor must be corroded or discontinuous. The only repair is to replace the keyboard. Sorry.

  • I upgraded my iPad (3rd gen) to iOS 7.  When I go to iTunes and look at the summary and to the "Apps" list tab, iTunes stops working and shuts down.  What can I do?  I am using a Windows 7 machine.

    Hi thanks for the encouragement.  It's not that the severs are "swamped", iOS 7 has been successfully installed.
    I can't access the apps list in iTunes because it *****
    down.  Its pretty frustrating because many of my apps require me to manually transfer files into iTunes first to view
    them.  Not sure if the servers being swamped is an issue for me, unless they release a bug fix through another version of iTunes.
    Has anyone else had this problem?  My iPad is pretty useless unless I can access my app list in iTunes....

  • Why has Facetime stopped working on my MacBook Air?

    FaceTime has stopped working on my MacBook Air.  Whenever I try to initiate or accept a call, the screen reads "Connecting" for a few seconds, and then reads "FaceTime Failed."  I called Tech Support and they were less than helpful.  They said that "perhaps" I need to check for software updates.  I did.  I downloaded an update for OS X.  I then restarted my computer.  Big surprise:  FaceTime still doesn't work.  Any ideas?
    I've also heard that certain iOS users are also having FaceTime trouble, but Apple has been keeping very hush-hush about the issue.  I'm ready to chuck this stupid piece of crap out of the nearest window and go back to using PCs.

  • My iPod screen has randomly stopped working?

    So a while so my iPod screen has randomly striped working. I've tried everything. Restoring didn't help one bit and I don't have enough money to go in and get it looked at and get it fixed. I have talked to an apple professional and he was telling me it was a hardware issue. I was hoping I could do something on my open to fix it. I would really love if someone can help me out on this. :)

    Sure sounds like a hardware problem to me. Not really anything you can do since I suspect it is a problem with the logic board, the most expensive part of the iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $19 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • ISight stopped working on my macbook pro

    Over the past couple of days my iSight has been randomly stopped working. I will be on iChat and all of the video icons will turn into phone icons as if I do not have a webcam. I check iChat and it says "There is no camera attached to this computer." I open photo booth and nothing will show up.
    The problem was off and on for awhile but now it just has stopped working entirely... I've restarted my macbook and it doesn't change anything.
    I really don't know what to do... Please help!

    Hello Professor Tim
    ... MODERATOR PLEASE HELP!!
    What help do you need from a Moderator? (Apple currently calls them Hosts.)
    If you can tell me what you need a Host to do, I can pass them a message.
    Shouldn't need a Service Center call....
    As another long time Mac user, I can offer you some other suggestions that may help you resolve your problem without a trip to an Apple Service Technician.
    Because you are having problems with multiple (but not all) applications, I agree that your problem is software. All Apple video capable apps use components from QuickTime in addition the software in the application proper. If reinstalling the two apps that do not work does not resolve your problem, try reinstalling QuickTime, too.
    If none of those reinstalls help, some of your other OS X system software may be damaged. How I eliminate that possibility and restore proper function is shown in this post:
       http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9458954&#9458954
    If you have a Time Machine Backup, restoring your system software and problem applications from before your problem began may be the quickest and simplest way to repair the software component that is causing your current symptoms.  (Remember to backup important files separately before you begin restoring software.)
    If you do not use Time Machine, or if your Time Machine restore does not provide lasting resolution, you can always try a proper Combo Update reinstall, A&I, and Erase&Install as suggested in the link above.
    You can try Apple's suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 at each stage or your restore effort to determine which action corrects your problem.
    We will watch for your response. Hopefully, you can report a fix!
    Cheers,

  • I just brought my MacPro in for service and they replaced my hard drive. However, now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working! Is there anything I can do to fix this without having to take it back in for service, again!?

    The nearest service center is 2 hours from my house and my computer isn't under warranty anymore, so I need alternative options. I'm just frustrated that my disc drive was totally fine until AFTER I took it in for service. I just paid a lot of money for a new hard drive from the apple store and now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working correctly. I tried with multiple CD's and DVD's...loading a disc, but my computer would just make a weird loading noise and then eject the discs. Now it has started fighting taking the disc, so I have stopped trying. Is there anyway to fix this problem without taking it in for service again and paying another boat load of money?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    ShelbyMackenzieLynne,
    when you say that your disc drive is damaged, do you mean your MacBook Pro’s hard disk drive, or do you mean its SuperDrive (the CD/DVD drive)?
    When you’d updated your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, did the installation succeed, and subsequently freeze up? Or did it freeze up during the Mavericks installation?
    Which version of OS X was installed on your MacBook Pro before you’d installed Mavericks?
    Are you currently able to boot into the Mavericks recovery partition? To see if you can do so, hold down a Command key and the R key while starting up your MacBook Pro.

  • USB ports stopped working in my Macbook Pro

    USB ports stopped working in my Macbook Pro

    I do not know anything about audio consoles nor do I have an iPhone.
    My iPod also does not show on the desktop but it is recognized in iTunes,  Check if that is the case for your MBP. 
    Do you have the appropriate boxes checked in Finder Preferences?
    See if this support article is of any assistance:

    If you have an external HDD, connect it to your MBP and see if it is recognized.  If it does not show on the desktop, check Disk Utility.
    Have you tried all USB ports?  It could be that the problem lies in your MBP.
