Lost messages in iMessage

Recieved an message . was notified and then the message was not i iMessage on the Mac. The message is visible on iPhone.
Anybody with the same problem?
Likewise  added phone data to one of my contacts - where I had 2 streams of messages. AppleId and Phone number - Result lost the phone number stream on the Mac.
Seems that iMessage is NOT stable on the Max OSX platform
//Jan

the phone stream is only on the IOS device. The appleid stream on both.
...which is what you had said in your initial post. Error 40 is still an option... while posting here as well as while setting up your devices...
The contact used is based on an iCloud contact. The removal of the stream on OSX was lost when the phone no was added to the iCloud contact.
So, why don't you do as advised? Usually, shortly after you (re-)launch Messages on the Mac after the phone number was activated in iOS, it pops up in Messages on the Mac and can be selected in its Preferences. Hmmm?

  • Lost messages on iPad 2 when creating new Apple ID on new iPhone and changed it on the iPad

    We have got a new iPhone5, and when setting it up the first time, a new Apple ID was typed in, unaware the problemes it would cause.
    We also changed the Apple ID on our iPad2, and lost all historic messages at iMessages.
    Is it possible to have it restored without a backup?
    We have tried to change back to the old Apple ID, but still have not been able to restore the messages.

    To use iCloud your iPhones and your Macs should all be signed into the same account, what are you trying to achieve.?

  • Hi! Is there any way I can save my messages in Imessage?

    Hi! Is there any way I can save my messages in Imessage aside from taking screenshots of it?

    Shaun,
    Recently I got an iPhone 5 and when I activated it, I lost all of my voicemails from my previouse phone.  With Verizon (I'm not sure about other carrier's), they were able to provide me with a phone number where I could access my old messages.  I then used a website www.SaveMyVM.com to make permanemnt MP3 backups of them.
    I believe the messages only remain on Verizon's system for a few days after activating a new phone, so time I would give them a call as soon as possible.
    Hope this helps,
    Jaimie

  • Text messages and imessages marked as delivered yet not received since last update. I cannot make sense of the troubleshooting page, why does this complex machine not just work?.

    I updated my iphone -again, and now my girlfriend (and who knows who else) is not reliably receiving messages. I try sending as iMessage and as SMS and have iMessage checked in my options and send as text message if iMessage doesn't work also checked. It was working fine, I updated, now it's patchy at best and although messages are marked as delivered they aren't and I don't know unless I phone the recipient up. Have tried restarting, resetting and digging through the trouble shooting pages... Apple products used to just work, now my phone is like a puzzle that I have to solve. I'm ditching apple in October when my contract is up but would like to send texts in the meantime, any ideas?

    Awesomez. Thanks apple support community, very helpful indeed. About as helpful as a phone that stops sending texts after the manufacturers update it. No worries though, I got a HTC yesterday, put my sim in and guess what? It works. Close this thread down thanks mods.

  • I am unable to send any messages on iMessage

    i am unable to send any messages on iMessage. I have never used it before so maybe I haven't set it up properly? When I choose a person to send a message to its fine, but when I type the message, the send button is grey and my message won't send.
    My iPod is a 5th gen, 32 GB, iOS 8.1.2
    Please help me get it working.

  • I am having some trouble with receiving messages from iMessage users when I don't have my iMessage turned on. When I called for support, I spent 30 min waiting and the woman's response to me was "Turn on your iMessage." I prefer not to use it

    I have an iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro. Ever since I updated my computer software to Yosemite, it linked my Apple ID with my phone number and I am not receiving messages from iMessage users on my phone, but rather to my computer. I don't like to use iMessage so I keep it off and would like to receive all messages as SMS texts. I have already tried changing my Apple ID password, logging off of my Apple ID in iMessage on my phone and turning it off, and changing settings on messages on my computer. Nothing is working. Either the messages continue to go to my computer or the messages trying to be sent say they cannot be sent.
    After spending 30 + minutes waiting for technical support, the woman helping me (who did not give me her name) told me I should just turn on iMessage. After explaining that I don't like having iMessage on and asking why it worked for at least a year up until this point she said "things change and sometimes we don't know why things do what they do". She asked me about various other things on my phone such as bluetooth and told me to turn on and off airplane mode and the call disconnected. I have not been contacted since, even though she has my phone number.
    I am hoping for some help and also hoping people don't get the type of service I received tonight.

    I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
    On iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
    On Mac:
    Open "Messages" application
    Click "Messages menu > Preferences
    Click "Accounts"
    Select your AppleID account
    Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
    Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
    And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
    To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble.  If it's green then you are using SMS.

  • How can I turn off an annoying network lost message?

    Ever since the last iPhone software update I keep getting a message saying "Network Lost. Your selected mobile network is no longer available. You can choose a different network in settings." Now, I know what this means. There are only a few places in my house where you can get a mobile signal. What I don't want is my iPhone keep lighting up all times during the day and night telling me that it's lost it's signal! Apart from anything else, it uses up the battery and it wakes me up at night by the screen lighting up. How, oh how, can I stop it doing this. I lock it when I am not using it but I don't like to turn it off in case of family emergencies. I keep it by my bedside at night but lately I have to put it in my bedside drawer so it doesn't wake me. Is this a new feature of the update? If so, I hope enough people complain so they take it off. I don't need a message to tell me there is no signal. It says "No signal" across the top of the phone when there isn't one. Please someone help.

    Latest update on 'Network Lost' Message. I have tried all the suggestions, ie, Setting my carrier to Automatic and resetting my Network settings but nothing works. I had a long conversation with someone at Apple this morning and he said there was no way to stop this from happening. Gutted! My husband and I went through the settings on both our iPhones earlier and discovered that he has a different software version to mine, He hasn't updated his and he never gets the message. Now I am wondering if it's possible to go back to an earlier version and if so how? Can anyone tell me please?

    Hi An Iphone user,
    If you are having issues deleting a specific message from an iMessage conversation (not seeing the Trash icon), you may want to double-check that you are following the steps outlined in the following article:
    How do I delete a message?
    To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
    Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap .
    After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.

  • When I send a message using iMessage to a contact's email, the message (whether independent or to a group) is being delivered in their email inbox instead of their iMessage application.

    When I send a message using iMessage to a contact's email, the message (whether independent or to a group) is being delivered in their email inbox instead of their iMessage application.
    Is there any resolution to this issue?

    Yes, they are registered for iMessage and IOS 5.0.1 update. A few days ago (10-12 days) the group messaging was working fine, but now the messages are being delivered to the email inox instead of iMessage app.

  • Why every time i hit my new message or iMessage notification it goes and creates a new message to the person who sent the message

    why every time i hit my new message or iMessage notification it goes and creates a new message to the person who sent the message?

    Hey Rkbethel
    There are two ways to resolve this for you. For the first is go and do a Reset All Settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. It will not delete anything on your iPhone, but it will put all settings back to default. If it does not work, the next step would be to restore the iPhone back to factory settings.

    If that's a 'soft' reset, then what's a 'hard' reset?
