IMessage not working on Macbook Pro

I have a Macbook Pro 15in mid 2014 and I upgraded to Yosemite and iMessage worked but now it doesn't (along with wifi but thats another issue). It works on my iPhone 5s but not my macbook pro. Ive tried to reset keychains and do a clean install of Yosemite and that didn't work either. does anyone know how to fix it.

Hi,
Earlier there were two possibilities:-
Either something about the app and it's link to the servers was amiss...
Or it was something about the set up within the Mac User Account you were using everyday.
As the same info worked in the "new" Mac User account it points to the issue being in the regular Mac User account.
This is where it could get tricky; trying to find out what that particular thing is.
It could be as simple as a typo in the Apple ID or the password.
It could be that the Contacts App > Card Menu > My Card does not list your details.
As the app seems to be saying it cannot deliver iMessages we have to presume there is something about how it is logging into the server.
It could be that the iMessages server can't find where to deliver it to,
It could be there is a subtle issue about how you are logged in that is causing the issue.
I would check the DNS Settings in System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab
This should show the DNS servers from your ISP in greyed out form (they are being read from your routing device)
Sometimes though it only lists the IP of the router (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x)
It may pay to add a Public DNS server or two http://pcsupport.about.com/od/tipstricks/a/free-public-dns-servers.htm
If that does not work open  Finder window then use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key and select the Library item that appear in the list.
Navigate to Preferences.
Find com.apple.imessages.bag.plist and drag it to the Trash and then restart the app.
The .plist will be recreated but it will force the app to completely refresh the Login to the iMessages servers.
Crazygamer101 is right in that it is not a good idea to Delete an Mac User account until you have tried everything and moved what is salvageable.

  • Imessage not working on MacBook Pro? ios7

    Hi,
    Has the Contact's name or ID or iPhone number gone red at the top of the window ?
    Do all contact's go red ?
    Is there any error messages about all the Contacts "Not being Registered" when you try and Send an iMessage ?
    And this Apple ID works in iCloud, iTunes and FaceTime ?
    These are all different servers and you could (it's a possibility) that you have an issue with  just one of  them (the iMessages server).

    Generally signing out and signing in (signing out and back into the Creative Cloud application ) will fix this. If it isn't resolving the issue for you, let us know what you see and we can try something else.

  • IMessages and FaceTime not working on MacBook Pro

    I've a MacBook pro, I was using FaceTime and iMessages lately but recently I couldn't sign in. Everytime I try to sign in, I get an error message saying "The server encountered an error processing registration, please try again later".
    P.S: Both iMessages and FaceTime are working on my iPhone with same account.

  • AOL mail will not work on MacBook Pro, but works on iMac

    My wife has attempted to check her aol mail account online, through Safari, and every message that she opens appears as "garbage." I recently installed Snow Leopard on both of our computers. AOL mail works on my iMac, but not her Macbook Pro. Honestly, among other issues, I'm a little disappointed with Snow Leopard. Leopard was released without problems for either of us.

    Did you ever find out what the problem is???

  • External Display not working with MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011)

    I just bought the current MacBook Pro 13" (i7 processor). My external display (Benq 20"W, 1600x1050) always says "No Signal Detected!". I've tried it with a DVI-Adapter (Griffin Video Display Converter) and with a VGA-Adapter (LMP Mini DisplayPort-VGA-Adapter). With lower resolution I once got a picture (but with weird lines). On my old MacBook (white, 2.16 Ghz) there was never a problem with this display (also OS X 10.6.6). Who can help?

    Check this post if you want more info:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2774718
    The gist is that DVI is currently very iffy through Thunderbolt. Mini display -> mini display OR mini display -> HDMI should work fine. It's most likely not your adapter itself but the fact that it's DVI.
    If you can, get a mini display -> HDMI adapter and try that (assuming your external has HDMI).
    I should hear back tomorrow or Monday from apple engineers with more specific info about this issue and I will update then.
    BTW- DVI anywhere in the chain will make things fail. Mini Display -> DVI and a DVI/HDMI cable won't work with any reliability (I've tested it on three completely different monitors).

  • External superdrive  is not working on  macbook pro 15 inch(2011 model) with  mountain lion

    Hi,
    I try to install windows in my macbook pro via  bootcamp, but since I installed latest osx mountain lion on it, the external superdrive doesn't work anymore( even if on the startup mode, hardware can't detect it). superdrive works on my 2009-2010 mac mini server. help!

    The USB SuperDrive only works on Macs without SuperDrive, so it's not compatible with your Mac. You have to use your internal SuperDrive to install Windows

    Hi Everyone,
    Can u help me fixing my Bluetooth on my macbook pro 10.7.5
    it was not working including my camera and the keyboard backlights..

    Your PRAM battery may be on its way out.  After 4 years that starts to happen, and that can cause all sorts of peripheral failures even before the clock is affected.   Bring it in for service.

    I cannot reset the SMC by removing the battery, I do not have the confidence to remove my battery, and do not have the time to send the computer to someone else to do it.
    I also tried updating my OS from 10.7.4 (Might've been 10.7.3) to 10.7.5.
    My computer is a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010), running OS X 10.7.5 Lion.
    I need to get this problem fixed ASAP, any help is appreciated.
    Kind Regards,

    I forgot to mention, I'm connecting the monitor via MiniDisplay -> HDMI. I've also tried USB -> HDMI and USB -> DVI -> HDMI but none of them seem to work.

  • Thunderbolt 2 external hard drive not working with Macbook Pro (early 2011)

    Hi,
    I'm new to this forum and I hope you guys can help me with this:
    I've recently bought an external hard drive that works on Thunderbolt 2 (LaCie d2 3TB). When I connect the new drive to my Macbook Pro through the thunderbolt port, the drive isn't recognized. However, the drive works fine through a USB connection.
    I thought that Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 are compatible, however this doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe it's because the OS X / driver / firmware version that I'm working on that is not updated? I work on an early 2011 Macbook Pro: OS X Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
    Thank you very much for your help!
    Daniel

    Hi danielsh6,
    I recently bought the new Lacie Thunderbolt 2 D2 3TB and I had the same problem as you, i have a macbook pro early 2011, those support thunderbolt but many times there is a bug that doesn't let you connect any thunderbolt drives to your computer. The solution I found was installing this update:
    Thunderbolt Firmware Update v1.0
    Before doing this I would recommend you updating to mountain lion (not yosemite yet as there is still some glitches and more on preview's macbook pro's).
    Hope this helped!
