IMessage won't refresh or update new messages

So for awhile now my iMessage has not been working on my Macbook Pro. I have the new Mavericks software update and for the first while it was working but now it won't update/refresh. I can open it and see all of my texts but nothing past 1/13/14. Has anyone else been experiencing this?

I can also no longer text on my computer or iPad. Fine on iPhone. Same as you - I can see everything up until a specific day. But I didn't do any kind of update where it should have stopped. And it stopped working on my computer and iPad at the same time.

HT5395 iMessage will only open by clicking "New Message"

The app works fine. I am able to send and receive messages through iMessage. Before, I was able to click on my iMessage icon and it would open the app, and I would be able to see unread or even read messages. Now, I have to click on "New Message" for it to open the application.

Versamail won't give me my new messages

I finally got my versamail to work, thanks to the Help Forum, but, it only gets old messages. I know there are new messages on my email, but, versamail says there aren't. I have "get only mail from last 1 month" checked, and, its getting messages from 2005. Help!!!

In gmail there is the enable pop from now on, make sure that is checked. If you still have issue with on your device. Go into versamail and delete the account and recreated it in versamail. If you only have one e mail account setup. You will need to setup a dummy account. Versamail does not allow you to delete the primary account.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

Mail application will not update new messages

Mail application will not update new messages

If you have Webmail access you might check that, sometimes a malformed email can clog the system.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist

Outlook 2010 won't update new messages unless you update folder

Hi,
Outlook 2010 sp1 with Exchange 2010 latest sp.
Scenario:
Some users are not receiving emails unless they click on update Folder. Once they do emails come in.
Troubleshooting:
No virus scanning outlook folder.
Delete the profile with OST and re-created it.
Send immediately when connected is enabled.
Cache Exchanged mode is enabled (Must be ...there are 15000 users with mailboxes here).
(If Cache mode is disabled everything works fine) This is not an option for us.
Download shared folders whether it is enabled or disabled still the same problem.
Help please,
Alexis

I would suggest your to start Outlook with /cleanips switch and check behavior,
Just click Start, click Run, type

Media Browser contents won't refresh and update

I'm using Keynote '09. I am using the Media Browser to add photos from within my iPhoto library to my slides. I have a number of albums--many are smart albums--that don't seem to be refreshing as the iPhoto content changes. It was updating fine last night, but today the content remains stagnant even as the iPhoto version changes.
Any idea of a way to force the Media Browser to refresh itself to reflect the changes that are happening in iPhoto? iPhoto is version 8.1.2.

I have a similar issue with the Media Browser, assuming we are talking about the same thing.
I am referring to the feature within an "Open" dialog/window, such as when I am picking a file to attach to an email, or picking a photo or movie clip to include in a keynote presentation etc. There is a pane on the left of the window lists a number of locations on my computer. One of these options is MEDIA, which expands to Music, Photos, and Movies.
When I attempt to select photos while performing tasks such as those I listed, I notice that there are events missing. In fact, the events correspond to the latest few imports into iPhoto. To be clear, the photos are accounted for in a few new events within iPhoto; however, these events are absent in the Media Browser.
As far as I can tell the Media Browser has "refreshed" my Music and Movies, but the Photos portion is not updating / not synchronizing with iPhoto.

My iMessages won't work on my new laptop

I just bought a brand new mac book pro laptop (10.9.4) and have been trying for weeks to get my iMessages to work on it.
Things I've tried:
old mac:
1. I've completely removed my icloud account on my old laptop. with a reboot.
New mac:
1. Completely removed iMessages on my new laptop with a reboot (a few times, and tried to reset everything in sync with my iPhone)
2. Signed in and out of the iCloud. removed my iCloud account and reset it up again.
3. signed in/out of my iMessages account (whilst rebooting and also tried doing that while my phone was off)
Iphone:
1. Signed off, signed on my iPhone.
2. logged out in airplane mode, then logged back on and re-added my iMessage account on my iPhone.
I'm completely out of ideas, I need to access my iMessages on my computer, PLEASE PLEASE HELP. I can't find any new suggestions, and am open to anything.

Hi,
Currently there are two causes why the Messages app will not launch (on first run it should open to the iMessages account requesting an Apple ID)
The App requires that the Font AppleGothic.ttf is present and functioning.
Use the Font Book to check it and Validate it (it is towards the bottom of the list and Validate is in the File menu).
The second reason is that sometimes the Serial Number is missing.
This should be "flashed" to a memory chip on the logic/Mother board.
In some cases or Repair or Refurbishment it gets missed.
You can check by using the About this Mac from the Apple Menu in the Menu bar, then clicking twice on the line that tell you the current OS level.
It will change to the Build number and then the Serial Number if it is present.

TS4268 iMessages won't send after updating to iOS 7?

I have updated to iOS 7.0.2 and I can receive iMessages but cannot send them. I have tried the trick of turning it off and then resetting network settings but this hasn't worked. Does anyone have any other solutions?

I have an iPhone4 and upgraded to iOS 7.1.
Since then imessage does not work properly on the iPhone4.
iMessage is working on my iPad normally.
I have reset network settings after turning iMessage off.
Turned iMessage back on.
iMessage is activiating and after doing the above.
I have also turned the phone off (Held home and power buttons for 10 seconds etc)
Other devices cannot reach the phone using iMessage.
My local Brisbane Apple store said last Friday evening it was most likely not the device and there was a problem in the 'cloud' side of iMessage out of my control.
This does not seem to be the case as I search for the thousands of people this would most likely affect.
I had a brief period where it appeared to work normally a few days ago.
Inerestingly when addressing a message in the 'To:' screen iMessage capable names come up blue as if they are about to be addressed and sent as an imessage. Once selecting the name however it turns green as if to say this will be sent as a text.
I am at a loss at what to do. The phone was working perfectly well under iOS6x
Thanks

Imessages won't send since updating to iOS 6.

The problem started out quite sporadically and now it is completely unable to send messages. Yesterday, 9/26 imessages started out fine then later in the afternoon I started getting not delivered messages on my Ipad. Imessages on my Iphone 4S works fine so far. Both devices were updated to the iOS6.0 system. Has anyone else experienced this bug and is there a fix out there anywhere?

My iMessaging won't work on my new iPhone due to "network connection". Why can't I sign in?

I try to log into it and it says: "iMessage Activation- Could not sign in. Please Check your network connection and try again." I'm connecting to my houses Wi-Fi and can make calls and regular texts. How can I fix this?

HI Friend,
Try to unsign and sign in again.
For iMessage chosse to use your Apple ID instead of your mobile number.
Go to Settings>>Message>>Send&Receive and check if your Apple ID was set or not. If not, set it properly.
If it is still not working, unsign your Apple ID and select your mobile number ("+" "country code" "mobile number").
Also check in: Settings>>Message if you turned on iMessage before. Here, turn off "Show Subject Field".
Did you turn on iCloud as well?
Hope it will be helpful

HT4993 iMessage is saying I have 8 new message when I don't. Can't get rid of it.

I have tried restarting my phone multiple times, turning on/off imessanger, sending myself a message, and it won't go away. It doesn't say I have any messages in the notification bar, or when I open my messages, only the "8" notification on the message app.

Hi Jodyw1
You can't drag the margins around. Those blue lines you are creating are called alignment guides - they don't print.
When you open the inspector, click the far left icon called the Document Inspector. In there you will see numerical values for your document margins. This is the starting point for every page.
The second icon from the left is called the Layout Inspector. This allows you to adjust the margin in a particular section from the document margin.
Finally, make sure you have Show Comments turned off i.e. you can see Show Comments in the View Menu.
I hope that helps.
