IMessages on Mac don't appear on iPhone

Yesterday I sent a couple of photos via iMessage on my Macbook. But they didn't show up on the iPhone. Right after sending the photos, I sent a regular text message, which did show up on the iPhone. Does this mean the photos were not sent and I should try again?
The photos were sent to a group (both iPhone users). iMessage will not show a delivery status for groups (at least on the Mac).

Have you activated the delivery status in the iMessage app on the Mac?
I think the whole iMessage-Mac-thing is still a little bit buggy. On my MacBook the behaviour of the app was kind of weird several times.

Thank you, razmee209! I must have checked everything 1,000,000 times, but when I just rechecked settings - notification - mail, I now see that Alerts -- both Show in Notification Center and Show on Lock Screen -- were turned off. Can't believe I missed that, so THANK YOU!

Have to read iMessage on iPad before it appears on iPhone

I have a weird problem with iMessage, where all the message I get sent (as iMessages) don't appear on my iPhone until they have been opened and read on the iPad (obviously synced to the same account). This has happened with all versions of iOS since iMessage came out. As I don't carry the iPad with me all the time, it means I often miss important or urgent messages.
Both devices can have a strong signal on both wifi and 3G and the problem still occurs. This relates to iPhone 4 and iPad 2 3G, both running iOS 5.1
Short of turning iMessage off on the iPad, is there any way to fix this? It's driving me mad!
Thanks

The passcode is coming from the backup file. She must not have removed it as was thought. You will either have to restore the phone as new, or restore to a backup file before the passcode was added. By the way, is this an employer provided phone? If it is, the passcode requirement may be a policy they've implemented.

Some images don't appear in iPhone, but do on desktop.

Can someone download this PDF and let me know why the jpg images appear fine when viewing with desktop browser, but some images in the same document don't appear when viewing in Safari on the iPhone? Vector artwork and text show fine. Shows white space where JPGs should be.
Specifically, pages 1 and 4:

I just heard about this day before yesterday at the InDesign Print and ePublishing Conference in Washington, DC. When using display on an iOS device JPEG 2000 is not supported. There are two flavors of JPEG: JPEG & JPEG 2000.
Here's a Wikipedia article about JPEG 2000:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_2000
If I go to page 1 and 4 in your PDF and use Output Preview in Acrobat Pro (in Acro 9 > Advanced Print Production > Output Preview). Click on the Object Inspector tab and click on the image. It uses a JPEG 2000 filter.
Since I don't know how the image was created and saved, I'll leave it to you to resave it as normal JPEG.

Some Mail Folders don't appear on iPhone/iPad

I have folders in my email account that appeared ok on iPhone 3G, but a few of them don't appear neither on the iPad or on my new iPhone 4 (more files missing on iPad than on iPhone 4).
Anyone know the reason?

Assuming the email account is an IMAP account and it must be for this, all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account should be available with each email client used to access the account.

Imessage on Mac does not sync my Iphone contacts

Hi,
when I want to use Imessage on my Macbookpro, I cannot find the contacts that are on my Iphone. They do not appear in the "Contacts" although the Icloud option is on both on my computer and my Iphone. But it seems not to sync.
Can someone help me ?
Thank you

Hi,
Odd stuff first.
In the Contacts App > Card menu > Show My Card - is this your Info ?
Can you compare the Names that do show in Messages with those that do not in the Contacts App ?
For instance do the ones using Country Codes as part of the telephone Number Show up but ones that only use the local number (no Country code) do not ?
If this s the case check the System Preferences > Date and Time including the Time Zone as everything is time stamped.
Next go to the Messages app > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages Account > Details Button (you will be asked to sign in again).
Does this list the "right" Country or region (it is this that will add the county code to plain numbers and allow your Apple ID (or others) to work properly.
In System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab does it list DNS servers that are not on your LAN ?
Quite often it lists the router (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x and occasionally 172.16.x.x through to 172.32.255.255) rather than external DNS servers.
It "should" show the ones the router lists in a greyed out form.
If not, copy the DNS servers across (from the router) or use Public ones.
If that does not work use th Finder > Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
Navigate to Preferences.
Find com.apple.iMessages.bag.plist and drag it to the Trash then Restart Messages.
This will force the app to reconnect to the iMessages Servers (and as there is a group of them you may well end up with a new server)

Subscribed podcasts don't appear on iPhone app.

I subscribe to the Diane Rehm show podcast (both the normal show and the Friday News Roundup). However, my iphone never shows the Friday News Roundup podcasts. These do appear on my iTunes account. When I sync with iTunes, the podcast still don't get loaded onto the iPhone. How can I get the iOS app to see these podcasts?
BTW, this is almost the worst iOS app that there has been, second only to Apple's mapping software.

Select them in itunes & sync them to your phone.

Playlists on Mac do not appear on iPhone after syncing. Why?

After loading new music into my iTunes library on my Mac and creating a new playlist, I synced my iPhone. But the new music and playlists won't appear on the iPhone. What do I need to do?

After reading your kind response, I double clicked the purple and white icon called "iTunes" on my phone, while the device was connected to my Mac. There are three tabs at the top: New Releases, Top Tens, and Genres. At the bottom there are 5 buttons: Music, Videos, Search, Purchased, and More. This application seems to only sell music, not set up preferences.
I did not see a place to specify sync preferences here. Just to be sure, I followed your directions further and pressed the "music" tab in that iTunes app. But to no avail. I also dug around looking for the options in all of the pull down menus on my Mac's iTunes and it is not obvious.
Where exactly do I need to go to set my sync preferences for Mac to iPhone? I've searched the online help feature on iTunes and cannot find it.
Is there another iTunes app that is for setup instead of just for selling music? Thanks!

Music videos don't appear on iPhone even when Sync Music Videos is checked

Simple enough problem. They appear on my iPod Touch but not on my new iPhone. Ideas?

Now I am in a perpetual restore loop. It finishes a restore and then asks me if I want to restore (again) or set it up as a new iPhone. I have no iTunes content on the phone. Going backwards here.

Songs don't appear on iphone 4 under artists but there with search

Certain songs and albums have disappeared on my iphone 4 when I try to find them via the artist. However, when I do a search, the songs are there and I can listen to them. This happened after the most recent update, of course.
And yes, I made sure the artists are entered correctly.

I'm having this problem too. I poked around and it looks like this is a common problem; there are several threads related to this. An example is https://discussions.apple.com/message/16210142#16210142. Basically, if an album or song that you import is marked as 'part of a compilation' the song and/or album won't show up when you list things by artist. To fix the problem choose the song and choose 'Get Info' from the 'File' menu. Uncheck the 'part of a compilation' box near to bottom of the window.
Unfortunately, you have to do this one song at a time. You cannot choose a bunch of songs and do this, because the 'part of a compilation' box doesn't appear.
Good luck!

Apps don't appear on iphone 4

I have an iphone 4. I have downloaded from the iphone an app. It appears to be downloading properly, until the
progress bar is complete. Then, the app disappears!
If I sync with my MacBook the app transfers to itunes - I can see it on iTunes! I can move it to different screens
in iTunes, it looks great. When I sync to my iphone, it is just not there. There is no error message.
If I search for it it is not found.
Also, if I put the app on screen 1 on my iTunes, and there are no other screens, and then sync, it will create
screen 2 within iTunes, move the app to screen 2 in iTunes, and then sync. When I look at the iphone,
there is no screen 2, and the app is not present.
I have tried resetting, rebooting, synching, deleting and re-downloading, and nothing helps.
The specific apps are iCSC (Clear Sky Chart) and RedBox.
I haven't seen this anywhere else!
Any ideas?

How can u downgrade. Apple doesn't allow that. Unless your iPhone 5 is jail broken. iOS 7 isn't even out yet. There Is no way u can get iOS 7 unless it was beta. And if so beta is having some issues.

Some macs don't appear in shared menu

I've got an iMac, mac mini, and a dual core all running on an airport network. When I am on my Tower the other machines sometimes disappear out of the shared menu in the finder window. They are on and awake, yet I can't share files. Files sharing is on, on all computers. What's up with that?

If you've never used them before (they are new) then they are not formatted for Macs.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
When you want to remove an external device you must Eject it:
First, select the Desktop icon of the external disk. CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Eject from the context menu.

Contact groups don't appear on iPhone, just iMac and Windows machines - is this expected?

Does IOS 5.0.1 not support groups in Contacts? I went through all 250+ contacts in my icloud.com account and organized them into groups (work, family, past-work, ...) that type of thing. On the iPhone only, the Contacts application only shows "All Contacts" - the groups have all disappeared. Is this expected / normal? The groups are all properly maintained on the iMac (Lion) and my Windows 7 PC, so my guess was something didn't sync right with the iPhone. I tried this on my wife's iPhone as well, same result (no groups show up).
