Message app does not working on my Mac

Hi,
The message app stop working on my mac. Everything went gray that I can not even select preference. I can send message from the notification center, and I can only view unread messages on the notification center. Not sure if this issue coming from updating my system to 10.9.2, tried to delete the preferences from library/message and preference folders, also tried disk repair, none of that works. Please help and thank you.

for the Points.

Downloaded lightroom cc and app does not work on my mac. how do i solve this dilemma?

i tried to update my lightroom app to lightroom CC. It will not start up. it flashes for a fraction of a second and disappears.

I have the exact same problem. A little frustrating.

The icon on my message app does not work since the update, the recipient is set up to use it, my grandchildren

The sent icon on my ipad doesn't work since the update to ISO 7.06 the recipients are set up to receive messages

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Most of the default Mac Apps does not work after Mavericks Upgrade

Hi, I did everything, but nothing has brought me out of this misery .
I Updated Maverick just 2 days after its release. Had no problems, other then slow Finder. I restarted my iMac last week, and got caught with these issues, known to me, not sure what all bugs are there.
All these apps does not work: App Store, TextEdit, Preview, Terminal, iBooks, Maps, Calendar, Contacts, Mail, etc
I do not know how to do a clean install, as I had upgraded from Snow Leopord to Mountain Lion and to Maverick using App Store, which does not open at all.
Hoping to get some response soon from Apple support team to help me.

Hi Arthur,

On the slowness...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Reminders App does not work on Yosemite with two iCloud accounts.

The Reminders App does not work on Yosemite (10.10.1) with two iCloud accounts. It seems like when there are two iCloud accounts connected in Yosemite (10.10.1) the plist file for Reminders disappears.
I have tried restarting Reminders; restarting the mac; starting the mac in recovery mode to repair the disk and disk permissions; and starting the mac in recovery mode and reinstalling OSX.

Yes sharing Reminders list works. The problem is, I have one shared iCloud account with a colleague (shared calendar, Reminders and email). It makes it easier to run our business with a single shared iCloud account...I know it's not the typical usage.

Download a free app. It reauthorizes your device for use of your apple id.

You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

Hi Hardy Tasso,
Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
Please try:
Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.

My text messaging app is not working PLEASE HELP!!!

My text messaging app is not working at all is a blank screen when I open it! Help!!!

No its a well known bug with iphones caused by their over complication of things and their complacency that their users will buy the phones on looks alone irrespective of its basic functionality.
Suggestion 1 - The most common suggested solution seems to be: iMessage needs switched off on all your devices and switched back on after a rest. I found that this did NOT work.
Suggestion 2 - Having a Wi Fi Signal seems to confuse iMessage to send an SMS as a text or as an iMessage. Turn off WiFi on your phone and manually send as text message. Slow, I lnow!!
Suggestion 3 - Move away from any wifi source ie out of range.
Suggestion 4 - Send an email, or a letter. Its more personal!!
20 Minutes later - still not sent 2 short texts.
Apple are very complacent and disdainful of their user community. Not what Id expect but this is a global corporation with the same business ethics as an Oil company or a car company. Profit not function.

Try a reset or restart of the device. If it still does not appear on any of the home screens and cannot be found in a spotlight search, restore the device.

Recently upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. Now EOS Utility app does not work.

Recently upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. Tried downloading photos from my 5D Mark II, but EOS Utility app does not work to Select Images to Download, unlike before. But when I disconnected my External Hard Drive, EOS Utility app main window works normally. I need the external hard drive connected all the time. How can I fix this problem, please? Thanks.

This sounds like a hardware problem with your computer. A USB port puts out a certain amount of power and can be used to power external devices... such as hard drives. But the camera does not use any USB power -- it runs on the power from the internal battery. It only uses the data pins to communicate. But you are describing a situation in which having one device connected a to a USB port prevents a different USB port from working. That can happen if the device in one port is drawing too much power (it can prevent other ports from working correctly.) Did you have this problem when using Windows 7?

My mic on the notes app does not work

I have chosen to sort "oldest first" and to play "oldest to newest". I also just recently deleted and reinstalled the podcast app via iTunes. I am still getting the random play results. I even deleted all played apps manually since the option to keep "All Unplayed Episodes" also keeps ALL episodes. So even though I had only 2 episodes available it would not advance to the only other remaining episode.
This Podcast App is atrocious. Its the only app I've ever owned that has never worked as advertised.

Other than what you have already done, you should clear the cache from your browser and, if you use it, your Facebook app. Also, deleting old texts can free up some room.
