Thanks.

Hi,
We would tend to see the exact message you are seeing.
These were the first 4 error messages and the suggested fixes
FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: Troubleshooting sign in issues - Apple Support
There is a Fifth which has a Contact Apple Support messages on it.
It can only be fixed by contacting Support. (Although you often have to get bumped to Level 2 people and Say it an Account issue)
There seem to be two related issues to the 5th one.
The 6th as I call it is when each and every iMessages Contacts is reported as not being Registered.
The 7th seems to return "Not Delivered" alerts in the chat window.
These two suggest that the Mac is partially logged in but is still having seemingly have issues related to the 5th issue.
If it these I feel only Apple Support can sort it but you will have a harder job convincing someone to actually look at the iMessages servers.

IMessage Login Problems

Hi,
Having real trouble with iMessage on the new OSX I downloaded.
Firstly, I can have conversations with folk, but my status is offline - when I try to chang it, the following messages appears: "Messages can't log in to [email protected] becuase your login ID pr password is incorrect."
Now, I have tried the email password, my Macbook login, and the iCloud one. Nothing works. They are all correct. What's going on? I recently changed the email password, though this was before I dowloaded OSX. Any thoughts?
Lastly, the d*mn iMessage photo! How can something so simple cause such problems? Tried everything and it's changed everywhere but on the message pop-up - where everyone can see the one in place that I don't want. Poor show.
Thank folks,
D.

You might get more information from the, "More Like This," area if you started calling it "Messages" instead of "iMessages." There is no such thing as, "iMessages."

Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite: Magic Mouse and Keyboard

Hello everyone,
I've a problem on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13" (late 2013).
I've always used it plugged with an external monitor (I love double screen), magic mouse and bluetooth keyboard. On Mavericks everything was perfect with this setup.
Yesterday I installed OSX Yosemite and I've found a boring problem: my Magic Mouse and my Bluetooth Keyboard have a 0.5 second of latency, lag. This happen when the Macbook is not plugged with battery charger. When he is on charge, the problem don't exist.
I noticed this bug also on the public beta of this summer and submit the feedback.
I hoped that they fixed this before release but the bug is still here.
How can i solve this boring problem?

I also reported this issue again and again during each beta release.
This makes the MacBook basically unusable in battery power for doing any kind of design and coding work.
I don't have any bluetooth addons or third party utilities. I also tried clearing PRAMs, and reinstalling Yosemite, to no avail.
Here are some threads about the issue, which, I'm noticing, is common.

Note that while the issue is kind of tolerable using the mouse, it's tragic with the keyboard.
Does this prevent you from using OS X Yosemite?
The issue makes it very difficult for me to use OS X Yosemite

Wifi problem with OSX Yosemite

I owned my first 13 inch MBP Late 2011 that came with OSX Lion. I upgraded my MBP with every new OSX releases and were very pleased with them.
With OSX Yosemite, I was very happy with the fresh new feel and looks of it. The problem with the new OSX it that my wifi connection suffers from it. The speed are getting slower and slower and the connection often drop off unexpectedly. The worst thing of all is that I can't connect to my windows phone wifi sharing. This doesn't happen with the previous OSXes. Please rectify this problem as soon as possible. Thank you.

Hi, theresefromnewdenver.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need a little more information regarding the exact issue and type of connection to provide a better answer. Here are a couple articles that I would recommend going through for this issue.

Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite

Hi,
I just installed Yosemite on my MacBook Pro MD101LL/A 13.3-Inch and I can't connect my Magic Mouse or my Big Jambox speaker through bluetooth.
Is there a way to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Bluetooth Connect Reconnect Problem / Solution Workaround for Yosemity: (Summary: Try 'Turn Wifi Off' to wake up Bluetooth!!!)
If you can not connect/reconnect your bluetooth devices, try "Turn Wifi Off". It seems to 'wake up' the bluetooth and then my devices reconnect.
In my case, after sleep/wake of my MacBook, my bluetooth keyboard would NOT reconnect. When I 'Turn Wifi Off" my bluetooth starts working again immediately and my bluetooth keyboard immediately reconnects. I read on some non-Apple.com forum that sometimes 'Turn Wifi Off' on yosemite makes bluetooth start working again. Other times, 'Turn Off Wifi' followed by 'Turn On Wifi' makes bluetooth start working again.
In my case, whenever I can not get my bluetooth devices to connect/reconnect to my MacBook, I simply "Turn Wifi Off" and it immediately reconnects.
Good luck.
P.S. I'm guessing that with the 'Handoff a.k.a. Continuity' enhancements to Yosemeti, which use Bluetooth to dynamically enable iOS devices to coordinate workflows with MacBooks, that Handoff's dynamic explolitation of bluetooth behind the scenes, which is a new style of load usage on Bluetooth, that it has messed up the way Bluetooth is managed in Yosemite. I'm guessing that Apple is aware of this and will fix it eventually. Until then, "Turn Off Wifi" seems to do the trick for me when I want to 'wakee up' my MacBook's bluetooth and get my external devices connected normally.

Problems with OSX Yosemite and iCal not running workflows to back up documents folder.

I am trying to get my workflow I created to automatically back up to a SD Flash card I have in my Macbook Pro. I have the workflow set up as an event on iCal but all the forums I have seen say to set the alert as "run the script" and I do not have that option. In order for me to run my workflow I manually have to go into automator and run it. Plus many times when I want the program to run, my computer is sleeping/closed. Any Ideas on how to get this process running automatically?
Thanks!

http://www.macworld.com/article/1157339/automate_backup.html is the link I used originally for the workflow.
I just tried what you said in making the workflow into an application and then use it to run as an iCal alarm. The application works great when I manually select it, but iCal still will not open it when it is set to open that specific application at the alarm time.

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB RAM installed. The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.

OSX Yosemite installation problems :-(

Have downloaded OSX Yosemite and have tried to install at least 10 times and continue to get the message "An error occurred when preparing to install. Try running the application again" What do I need to do to complete this install? Tried to find a more applicable community but could not post there :-(

1. If possible, set the system clock as instructed here. If you can only start up in Recovery mode, see below.
Select Get Help Online. Safari will launch. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your bookmarks, but you won't need them. Load this web page.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
date 0801000014
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Quit Safari. You'll be returned to the OS X Utilities screen.
Select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. Paste into the window by pressing the key combination command-V.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. If it doesn't appear, press return.
Quit Terminal to return to the main screen. Try the installation again.
2. If the date is correct, or if you still can't install after correcting it, see beow.
Start up in Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name), and run Repair Disk (not Repair Permissions.) If any problems are found, repeat. Then restart as usual.
If you don't already have a current backup, you must back up your data before you take the above step. You may be able to back up, even if the system isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Directory corruption in a MacOS journaled volume is always the result of a drive malfunction. It's not caused by power failures, system crashes, or anything else. You might choose to tolerate such a malfunction once in the life of a drive. If it's repeated, the drive must be replaced, or there is some other hardware fault that needs to be corrected. Ignoring repeated directory errors will result in data loss.
