IMessage on iMac showing conversations out of chronological order

Had something happen today in iMessage on my new computer that I've never had happen before. It got messages b/w me and a friend out of chronological order (see below) on my new iMac even though the messages are in the correct order on other devices (iPhone, iPad). Any ideas what's going on?

Hi,
I admit you title reads
When Messages.app refreshes conversations, messages appear out of chronological order.
However the actual post reads.
Conversations on the iPhone are in correct order. Most of the conversations are using my phone number, but some are using my email address. The issue appears with both.
So I got the impression it was the actual Conversation (Left hand List) that was un-ordered or at least out of order.
Form your Picture I see you did mean Messages.
As I said in my reply most people reports that Quitting Messages and restarting the app does seem to sort this.
Is this what you mean by "refreshes" or do you man something else such as looking at a conversation again or making the App the "front" app ?

When Messages.app refreshes conversations, messages appear out of chronological order.

I'm also using an iPhone 5, all of my software is up to date. Conversations on the iPhone are in correct order. Most of the conversations are using my phone number, but some are using my email address. The issue appears with both. Is there an easy way to troubleshoot or solve?

My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade. How can I get them back in order?

My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade. How can I get them back in order?
If its not possible, how do I go back to the old os?

I had tried that several times with no luck. Late last night I was finally able to get through to the Verizon technical support who then called in Apple technical support. It took 1 1/2 hours for them to figure it out and guide me through a fix. So here's the deal .......... I use Yahoo mail and had left the "contacts" button in the on position. Apparently Yahoo likes to go into your contacts and gather information and can leave it in shambles. My advice is, go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars. Select any and all of your email accounts and go in and turn off their access to your information. Leave it on for Icloud but none of the others.

After downloading Maverick, my photobooth images were out of chronological order. I've now downloaded Yosemite and they are still out of order. Is there a fix for this?

After I downloaded Maverick, I noticed that my photobooth images were out of chronological order. I've since downloaded OS X Yosemite (10.10) and they are still out of order. My version of Photobooth is 7.0 (719). Is there a fix for this? Many thanks in advance.

Do you mean a restore to factory settings?. If so did you set up as new or restore from back up afterwards?

My chat line is out of chronological order

The chat line has been breached. Curent chats are no longer at the bottom.

Check your computer's clock time. Has it been wrong in the past?

Facebook 10.4.0.12 - BB10 Z10 - Update - Page Posts Scrambling Issues - Not in Chronological Order - New Posts Not Showing...

Regarding the Facebook App...
Even since the last update (10.4.0.12) the posts on all FB Pages and Friend Timelines are out of chronological order (scrambled) and only show older posts (you cannot see any new posts).
This was not an issue with the preveious version of the Facebook app. Blackberry users are extremely upset about this and require some type of communication from Blackberry about a near future fix or an option to return to the previous version of the Facebook app.
For Blackberry users who manage Facebook Pages for Business on-the-go, this update has crippled them.
Why would Blackberry release an update with such a massive functionality set-back?
Did Blackberry not test the App prior to releasing the update?
So many Blackberry users are upset. Many are leaving blackberry for android or iOS. Just read the reviews on the Facebook app in Blackberry World. Blackberry might be able to save some of these Blackberry users by communicating to its customers and ensuring them that there will be a fix in the near future. To most BB users, a properly functioning Facebook app is crutial and is their most frequently used app on their device.
Again, BLACKBERRY... Communication please!...
#1) Is Blackberry working on a fix for this issue? If so, when will the update be available?
#2) For the time being, can BB users revert to the previous version of the FB App?
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

#1) BlackBerry never gives forward looking information. Even if they were working on a fix (and hopefully they are) they wouldn't tell us.
#2) BlackBerry gives no official method of downgrading. However, a quick Google search found this: http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-10-apps-f274/if-anyone-wants-go-back-facebook-10-3-0-2-here-...
It looks like it's just a bar file so I recommend using Sachesi to load it. Here are some instructions for using Sachesi. The instructions are for installing Snap (which, if you don't have it, I highly recommend if you're on OS 10.2.1.xxx) and you can use the same instructions for installing the Facebook bar file(s)

The other option is to use Snap to install the Android version of Facebook. I hear it works well.

Email messages are jumbled out of chronological ordr

When looking at my current new email messages on the email list, as I open one and go back to the original list...I cannot easily find the one that I just looked at because it has been placed way down in the abyss of old emails. All messages are out of chronological order. Help fix this. I have put up with this for 2 months. I only have comcast email account, not the tv service of. AC

Messages 7.0.1 on 2011 iMac running 10.8.2 showing messages out of order

I'm having an issue with the Messages (v.7.0.1) application on my 2011 iMac running OS 10.8.2. My iMessage conversations sync from my iPhone 5 to Messages on my computer, but when my computer comes out of sleep, all messages from one side of the conversation are shown first, and my side shown second. Essentially, the Messages app is ignoring the time sent and not showing any texts in the correct chronological order while my computer was sleeping/off.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Or possibly have a solution? It's quite obnoxious.

Hi,
It was first reported in Messages Beta.
If the App was Off line on the Mac and conversation took place via an iPhone or iPad and then the Mac was turned On and Messages Started then the iPhone conversation would start to sync.
This is not instant and plays out like a speeded up chat.
Any subsequent iMessages in that conversation are sent by the servers immediately and get mixed up with the "historical" catch-up.
People are reporting that similar issues are still happening in the Messages up despite the version 7.0.1 update.
I have seen claims that if you shut down Messages and restart it then it will look to the Time Stamps and place things in order.
I cannot replicate this
iPhone end
Mac end.
On the 29th the iPhone got a Message reply repeated.
Some Items from the Mac never made it to the iPhone (it's my iPhone and it should be syncing things)
The Mac never showed the Tesco/Lettuce conversation.
I would use the old iChat Feedback page to report this.
Messages is iChat+ and the versions numbers are sequential

Should iMessages sent from iPad or iMac show as sent messages on iPhone?

Should iMessages sent from iPad or iMac show as sent messages on iPhone?
So when having an iMessage conversation as the advert suggests. You can carry it on using any of your os devices, but only the messages sent to you appears on all the devices but the messages sent by you only appear on the device you sent it from.

Yes, if you have everything set up correctly and all of your devices are synced then that should be how it works.
Edit: I appologize, I should have read your question more thoroughly. If your devices are synced together, then the entire conversation should show up on all devices no matter which one you sent it from. If you are having trouble with this working, visit this thread and follow the instructions on page 1.

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)

IOS8 Photos not showing photos in chronological order

Photos App not showing photos in chronological order!!
what gives apple?! I take a picture, go to Photos and since theres no more camera roll, I'm forced to go into Photos Tab, and when I select "Collections", I see the tiny thumbs of all my pictures sorted which look fine in chronological order, But when select to go down to the next level of viewing (Moments), the dates are all over the place! When I scroll all the way down, I should technically be at the most recent of my pictures taken. Its not, it shows Aug26. Then one above that Aug 21 Then next few are in Aug; mind you we are in September. Then theres Jun 25. THEN finally some recent photos of Sept 26 and 15!!! THEN the next one is MAY 31.
So trying to find my most recent photos taken is painstakingly tough.

Check this thread out. I have mobileme, but this solution worked, perhaps you could try something similar for your Gmail account...

Purchased songs wont sync to my iphone from my imac--shows grayed checkmark

purchased songs wont sync to my iphone from my imac--shows grayed checkmarks for each one

If the songs are greyed out, you may have set up automatic syncing with a different iTunes library.
Set your iPod to sync manually, as described here:

After syncing once with your current iTunes library, you can set it back to autimatic sync.

I downloaded Mountain Lion OSX three days ago. On start-up my IMac shows a black DOS screen. Must unplug the Mac to restart. Please help!

I downloaded OSX Mountain Lion three days ago. On startu my IMac shows a black DOS Screen. I must hard boot and it works. Does anyone have the same problem?

Same problem here...
"I did an upgrade from OSX Lion to OSX Mountain Lion and I also get a black boot screen ONLY from a cold startup. If I type exit, my macbook pro startsup normally."
I already made a clean install and it didn't fix anything - the issue still exists (on my MBP 5.1 late 08)
BUT: the most horrible thing is: I also tried to downgrade to 10.7.4 (it worked perfectly before the update to 10.8!!!) and after being back on 10.7.4 it also boots (cold boot) into single user mode...
Now I'm back on 10.8 again (the 2nd clean install) and waiting for a fix...
I tried everything (alls kinds of commands, permission rights and reset all PRAM NVRAM SMC... no luck!)
A friendly guy on the german applehotline told me (after 2h telling him what my problem is): "mountain lion didn't break your mac it must be a hardware error and your mac is out of warrenty - so have a good one...bye"
Maybe apple will bring an update to fix this because it is ofcourse a software error...
Best regards from Germany
I hope Apple brings an update too. I still have this problem. I also tried to do a clean install, which was a lot of work! So it must be a software problem.
I find it really annoying to get the black boot screen every time I do a cold startup!
I hope more people who have the same problem post something here, to let Apple now that they have to do someting about it!
Best regards from the Netherlands.

My TV Shows Used to sort in Chronological order, but now???? Help.

I have an entire series on my iPod, and it used to display in chronological order. Then I upgraded to the iPod Classic, and now they display in alphabetical order. The sub heading for each show reads, "no release date for this program", but there isn't a place for me to manually type in a release date. Why can't I sort them by episode number, like on the 5th Gen iPod?

check out http://www.lostify.com for an awesome script for iTunes that allows you to edit every aspect of the ID3 tag that your mp4 or m4v files have. Once you download the script and install in iTunes, you'll see a Lostify menu option. Highlight the TV show(s) that you want to edit, select Lostify and you're all set. You get to input the release date, episode numbers and lots of other information that you can't edit with the basic information screen within iTunes. Once done, it will rewrite your file with the new ID3 tag information and when you sync the shows to your ipod, they will all show the release date and be organized accordingly. Enjoy!
