Message not working since IOS X 10.9.2 update

Message is not sending from my MacBook Pro and no longer is synced with my phone and ipad. The icloud account is incorrect to sync with the other units but on my MAC when I try to sign out, it tells me it will delete all my contacts. Any ideas?

Hi,
Whilst Tim does have the issue of checking the setting for the iMessages account in the Mac version and on the iPhone I think you are telling us about this alert
This can be done in System Preferences or as I have done for this Picture grab in Internet Accounts.
You will notice, and it will back Tim up, that there is no setting to enable this ID for the Messages app on the Mac.
If you deselect Contacts then the alert pops up and Asks you to make a decision.
You can keep the Contacts on the Mac or Delete them.
As long as the Apple ID used for iCloud on both iPhone (and other iOS devices) and the Mac is the same then you can sync the Contacts back for the iOS device if you decide to Delete.
I always choose Keep myself.
To be clear.
To Sync Contacts the iCloud ID has to be the same all round.
To Display iMessages all round the Apple ID used in Messages as the iMessages ID has to be the same - it does not however have to be the same one as iCloud (or even iTunes or App Store).

IChat not working since iOS 5 update

My iChat is not working since the iOS 5 update. Everytime I go to log in it says: "iChat can not communicate with the AIM account..." Is anyone else having a problem since the new update was released?

Hi Chris,
Does it read login.oscar.aol.com in the server Setting tab ?
(iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings)
Hi bryanfromcottonwood,
In Previous versions iChat was set up to automatically change the Server Name fro AIM logins when starting or turning Off SSL. (it tended to look like the leading "s" appeared or disappeared).
IT Changed from login.oscar.aol.com to slogin.oscar.aol.com
There are suggestions that this does not happen now.
It is not known if this is done deliberately for "Security" or an error in the Update file.

My I message is not working, since IOS 8.3 update.

My messages is not working properly, since IOS 8.3 update. Message are left hanging as undelivered. When I tap on "try again" nothing happens. Even messages to known contacts with I phones, appear in green and does not get delivered anyway. I have reset my i phone several times to no avail. I like my I phone 6+ as a camera. All other functions are less than impressive.

Texas Holdem - not working since iOS 8?

Hi,
For years I have been a fan of Apple's Texas Hold'em (think it's version 1.1).
The game starts but none of the settings and scores are remembered.
It worked perfectly until I got an iPhone 6 running iOS 8. (iPhone 4/iOS 7.x)
Every time you start the app it's like you've never played it before.
- Has anyone seen this behaviour?
- Any workaround?
Many thanks!
DJ

I wish I would've known this before I upgraded the OS. I, like everyone here loved to crank up my winnings playing the computer when I had a little downtime. Fun little game that was simple and easy to play. I had 90M and was working towards cracking 100.
Restoring the app wouldn't work since it doesn't respect the settings any longer.
This was Apple's only game. It's too bad they couldn't ensure compatibility going forward.

Call list not working since iOS 8!

Hello! My call list isn't working since I've updated to iOS 8. I can't see who called me and there's a small -1 on the Icon of the list... Can anyone help me??

Group Message not working since move from ios to android

I know there have been lots of threads similar to this. I've looked through those and tried the suggestions, but to no avail. I'm still left with the same issue.
I have not been able to receive any iMessages/Texts from friends while in a group chat on my Android device. I can send them and my friends receive them, but i cannot receive from them. I get individual texts/iMessages fine, just not group and only when it's from an iPhone. I am able to receive group messages from Blackberry, Android and Windows devices.
The catch. I gave up on iPhone and officially moved to Android.
Here is what has been done. BEFORE switching to the HTC One, i deactivated iMessage on my iPhone my mac. I made sure to also uncheck the phone number and my email addresses BEFORE deactiviating iMessage. Also did the same with Facetime (not sure if that matters or not).
I have unregistered the iPhone from my Apple profile/support account.
I have deleted all iPhone numbers from my iCloud contacts.
I have the correct settings in Android.
I have made sure that my friends have it set to send SMS if iMessage is not available.
I've ran out of ideas, and ran out of places to go since Apple's support only had the one suggestion which was for them to remove the phone number from iMessage.
Please help!

Hey there highaltitude,
I am sorry to hear that you are still having issues receiving text messages from iPhone users. I recently switched from an iPhone myself and have experienced the same issue. You have exhausted all the basic troubleshooting steps for this issue. I ended up having to reach out to Apple Support myself to ask them to deregister my number from iMessages.

Flash / flashlight not working since ios 7 update

I have an iPhone 5. Since I've updated to ios7 I have not been able to get the LED light to work. I've tried photo and video, and I've tried the dedicated 'flashlight' button... nothing.
Everything looks right on the screen, just no action in the light. I've tried hooking to itunes and syncing, powering down and restarting things and I even got the newest update fix (7.0.2 or whatever)... no dice.
I took some photos with a flash a few days before I updated, so I'm fairly sure that my hardware isn't damaged.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem it's definitely a software issue because the camera would sometimes work in camera apps but now I could not switch cameras at all.
I may have found a solution of course I probably won't get credit for thanks to Apple.
I believe the problem arises from a bug when the camera is used in lock mode, try restarting your phone with the home and power button. Then open your camera in locked mode and set the flash to auto. Maybe take a few pictures, switch the camera back and fourth, turn HDR on and off, but make sure the flash is set to auto before you unlock the phone. Heck even try playing with the flashlight.
After I did this in locked mode to my surprise my camera and flashlight are now fully functional after I have unlocked it with the password. I'm not to sure what triggered this bug but when I first got iOS 7 and played with my phone some how I unlocked the lock screen without putting in a password. Just by using the camera and the notification and control Center, I unlocked the phone which might of triggered the bug.

IMessage not working since iOS 8

Since installing iOS 8 iMessage won't send many messages. Changing to SMS does not help. By experimenting, I think the messages that won't send are any with my wife's name included in the addressees. She also can not send messages that have my name in the addressees.
We share the same Apple account for app purchases, etc. but are logged into iMessage with separate Apple IDs. I am logged in with the common Apple ID and she is logged in with the ID linked to her iCloud account. I have an iPhone 5. She has an iPhone 4S. Both operating with iOS 8.
I have tried the suggestion of turning off iMessage in favor of SMS and then resetting the network settings, then turning iMessage back on. This does not resolve the issue.
We never had this problem until the iOS 8 update. I can not find solutions to this online... what to do???

Hello, RicardoSwe.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you have tried some troubleshooting steps already. There are a couple more steps that I would recommend trying in the article below.

WiFi & Bluetooth Not Working Since iOS 6.1.3

I updated my 16GB iPhone 4S to iOS 6.1.3 last week.
Now WiFi is turned off. The Off/On switch in Settings>Wi-Fi is grayed out and will not allow me to turn WiFi on.
Bluetooth functionality is gone. When I go to Settings>Bluetooth I just see the rolling circle that never stops.
I did immediately find Apple's ts1559 support document.
-Of course I'm not in Airplane Mode (Is it turned on?)
-Of course I tried restarting my device, multiple times. Both soft and hard reset.
-Yes, I have the most current version of the OS (6.1.3) I even tried reinstalling the firmware and iOS from Recovery mode, no joy.
-Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings did nothing.
-Backed up and restored the device... Absolutely no change. Even the blank phone without my restored info on it displays the symptoms.
I have NEVER jailbroken the device, only ever dropped it once (months ago) and have no water damage
Has anyone else had this exact same issue?
I don't want to hear about random wifi connection problems, stay on topic or create a new thread.
Apple: is this a known issue?

I have same problem, exactly same Iphone, same rolling circle etc. plus I also tried all upper solutions same as aquaholic said. Problem appears with iOS 6.1.3. about 30 min after instaling that lol upgrade. I went to appstore (in Poland) - they couldn`t help but one guy told me that iPhone turns off wifi and bluetooth when Iphone is too hot and turns it off becouse iOS 6 uses hot sensor (at least i think he told something like that) which iOS 5 doesn`t. Solution which comes to my mind was quite stupid - cool down Iphone in fridge. So I put it there for 15min (someone did that too on other forum so it help me with decision) and .. tadaaa ! it worked. Anyway worked as long as it was really cold, when it warmed problem returns. So there can be two possibilities as I`m sure i didn`t damaged my phone neither dropped:
1. Heat sensor (if really exist) isn`t working properly and newest iOS just revealed that error. Sensor might be damaged somehow during one year of use even if i don`t remember or:
2. Software upgrading has errors which in some models of this Iphone appears.
IPhone was bought about 13 months ago in Bialystok, Poland from T-Mobile operator, There is no problem with my IPhone 5 also no problem with Iphone 3Gs but it`s too "old" fo iOS 6
I hope Apple read our posts and at least try to help or suggest anything.
P.S. I`ll put that post on similar forum too.

Messages not working since HDD replacement

Hello! So my MBPr stopped booting a week ago and I had to have both fans, the motherboard, HDD, and back plate replaced. That's done, everything works now except Messages. I rely on messages to communicate with my team and my family, so this is a bit of an issue. I've wandered the forums and tried many of the steps (restart, deleting plists, resetting PRAM, resetting/repairing keychain, confirming font availability, etc). But to no avail. When I click on the icon for Messages, it bounces in the dock, the dot indicates it is started, but the window does not appear. If I wait perhaps 10 seconds and click it again, the window appears but is blank. I cannot select anything from the menu (no preferences or anything) and no conversations or login prompts appear. Please help!

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.

HT203040 iPhone 4S Camera app not working since iOS 8.2 update.

Since downloaded iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 4S the camera won't work. It is just black. Sometimes we can scroll between photo, video etc, but most the time the whole thing is locked up. I have tried rebooting the phone. Nothing works.
Please Apple Support Team fix this issue.

Menu bar dropdowns not working since iOS 5 update

Since the iOS 5 update for the iPhone when opening up certain web pages the dropdown menus stopped working even with the latest release. However in Safari there doesn't seem to be an issue. Obviously it was something to do with the updated web browser.
Is there a simple workaround for the webpage? Currently it would be a time consuming task to update the script for each page of the secure website?
How can someone submit an issue directly to Apple for this to be adressed in the iOS6 update?

Thanks for the quick response. Im aware that Safari is the browser in iOS5 for iPhone. Just to be clear, when using a web browser (Safari, ie firefox,opera) from a PC or MAC there are no issues with the dropdown menus with the web pages.
Before the iOS5 came out for the iPhone the dropdown menus worked properly without issue in previous versions. I even tried using various other browsers from the app store and still have the issue on the iPhone which leads me to believe the issue lies with the original code in iOS5.
I hoping to see this was an issue others. Will try the link provided to the developers.
If it cant be resolved with iOS6 my next option is to create an app. I dont want to change my web app coding at this point.
Thanks
