IMessage is not working on my mac.

I have been able to use iMessage in over a few weeks.

This solved my problem:
Step 9
According to one anecdotal report, Flash Player may interfere with iMessage, though I don't know how and can't confirm. To test this theory, select from the menu bar
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane. If this action solves the problem, please post your results.
Restart your computer and you should be good to go!

  • IMessage is not working in IOS 7 , Any workaround

    iMessage is not working in IOS 7 , Any workaround

    Yap, sad but true...
    The most annoying problem, besides iMessage, is the keyboard, it's horrible on my iPhone 4 in Safari. Some on some formulars the keyboard is so **** slow that I had to stop typing after 2nd word.
    But I could fix the iMessage Problem, first turn off iMsg, then you have to backup your Phone on your PC/Mac in iTunes, turn off auto sync when done and pull the phone off. Then go to the Phone settings and reset everything, then choose "set up as new device".
    When done go to settings and activate iMsg and wait for activation, it will work! After you're done plug the phone back to your PC/Mac and restore from the Backup you made before. Now go to phone settings again and check if iMsg is on, if not (as it was in my case), turn it on and activate again, it will work now!!!
    Attention: Apps and Music have to be resynced or downloaded after this, they are NOT part of the Backup.
    This was what Apple tech. support told me to do and it worked fine.

  • IMessage is not working in Saudi Arabia

    iMessage is not working in my country (Saudi Arabia) with OS X Mountain Lion  
    i try to join imessage on my macbook Mountain Lion i did not find my country  
    Can I get help out there I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion to use i message

    Hi,
    I looked in System Preferences > Language and Text and under the Region Tab I found you could set "Show All Regions"
    This then added some Language choices that then had Countries listed next to them
    I could chose Saudi Arabia here but it made not difference to the choices shown in Messages.
    In Messages I was highlighting the iMessages Login I already have and clicking the Detail Button and then Logging in
    After that I could look at the Drop Down for Language and Countries.
    As you say it is a somewhat limited list.
    I am also sure I did not really have my computer set to type in Arabic (It also still listed British in Language and Text > Input methods and showed the British flag rather than the Saudi one.)
    It might also need a restart to make some changes take effect.
    I see on the right of your Post that it shows other similar questions
    It might pay to read some of those threads.

    My imessage is not working at all is because when I send a message to my friend the bar of sending complete but it doesn't send what I can do please heeeeeelpppp !!!!!

    2-3 days ago, iMessage just stopped working on all my devices (2 iPads; 1 iPhone; 1 Mac), and it hasn't come back since. iPhone waiting for activation, the rest just don't send the messages.
    FaceTime and iCloud work fine.
    I really hope this is resolved soon, because I rely heavily on iMessage for the majority of my communications, and I need it back ASAP as I'm on holiday and out of my home country.

  • Fact Time and iMessage will not work on

    Face Time will not verify my emails and phone number on my iMac.  Face Time is working on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5.  All were working fine up until 2 days ago.  I tried to Face Time on my iMac and I had to login and verify.  Verify would just spin, spin, spin.  iMessage will not work on the iMac as well.  Same thing, was working fine up until Face Time quit functioning.  All devices have been working on the same router/Wi-Fi.  My operating system is Mavericks.  Have had no problems until now.  HELP!

  • HT204187 Email account does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

    I have seral email accounts on my Mac. One does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

    You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

  • Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine, mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar.

    Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine. mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar only and coloured wheel appears.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
    If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.

  • IMessage is not working on my iPad since updating to ios7.0.6

    iMessage is not working on my iPad since updating to ios7.0.6
    It worked well before doing the latest update.
    iMessage on My iPhone 4 works fine after doing the same update.
    Have done all the usual things plugging into computer, complete shut down and reboot, nothing has worked.
    It keeps asking for password for Apple ID, I know I am entering the correct ID,  check network is also being displayed.
    Nothing wrong with my network either, other iPads and iPhones are working fine on the same network.
    Would like this fixed ASAP.

  • My mac's keyboard is not working with my mac.the green light blinks and i cannot get onto my mac. everything on the support questions does not help because i cant go on the mac and i cant sign in

    my mac's keyboard is not working with my mac.the green light blinks and i cannot get onto my mac. everything on the support questions does not help because i cant go on the mac and i cant sign in

    If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.
