Messages 7.0.1 on 2011 iMac running 10.8.2 showing messages out of order

I'm having an issue with the Messages (v.7.0.1) application on my 2011 iMac running OS 10.8.2.  My iMessage conversations sync from my iPhone 5 to Messages on my computer, but when my computer comes out of sleep, all messages from one side of the conversation are shown first, and my side shown second.  Essentially, the Messages app is ignoring the time sent and not showing any texts in the correct chronological order while my computer was sleeping/off.
Is anyone else experiencing this?  Or possibly have a solution?  It's quite obnoxious.

Hi,
It was first reported in Messages Beta.
If the App was Off line on the Mac and  conversation took place via an iPhone or iPad and then the Mac was turned On and Messages Started then the iPhone conversation would start to sync.
This is not instant and plays out like a speeded up chat.
Any subsequent iMessages in that conversation are sent by the servers immediately and get mixed up with the "historical" catch-up.
People are reporting that similar issues are still happening in the Messages up despite the version 7.0.1 update.
I have seen claims that if you shut down Messages and restart it then it will look to the Time Stamps and place things in order.
I cannot replicate this
iPhone end
Mac end.
On the 29th the iPhone got a Message reply repeated.
Some Items from the Mac never made it to the iPhone (it's my iPhone  and it should be syncing things)
The Mac never showed the Tesco/Lettuce conversation.
I would use the old iChat Feedback page to report this.
Messages is iChat+ and the versions numbers are sequential

  • Hi, FaceTime on my mid 2011 iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2.

    Hi, FaceTime on my mid 2011 iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2. I have contacts some of which only show option for audio FaceTime, on my iPhone an iPad the same contacts are available for video. Anyone know why, I can video some contacts from my iMac - but not others. The contacts are all synced via iCloud and the audio FaceTime from the iMac works fine to them but the video option is greyed out. If I go to my iPhone or iPad - there they are all ready to receive video. Curious. Anyone have any ideas i have exhausted the web searching.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

  • I have a mid-2011 iMac running Mavericks. When I click restart the computer goes to a white screen with a spinning circle and does not go any further until I hold down the power button to turn it off. What do I do?

    Ok, sounds like the safe mode boot worked... You probably don't want to always be in safe mode though (some reduced functionality) so does it do a normal boot now? If not, you should then reboot into safe mode and run Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD on the left hand side, and click the Verify Disk button. If needed, it will ask you to Repair Disk. If there are errors found, Repair Disk again until there are none. Then try another normal boot and reply with result, wether good or bad.

  • Will my 21.5-inch, mid 2011 imac run call of duty 5?

    will my 21.5-inch, mid 2011 imac run call of duty 5?

    All you need to do is compare the tech specs from the game to the tech specs of the computer. If you don't know your computer's specs click the word Support in the upper right of this page, click Tech Specs and type in the computer's serial number. Once you have them then look at what the games specs are, if the computer meets or exceeds the specifications you're in business. However if you can't do that, sure post both (computer and games tech specs) and I'll look them over.

  • I want to transfer some of the data from an intel 2006 iMac running 10.4.11 to a 2011 iMac running 10.6.8

    I want to transfer some of the data from an intel 2006 iMac running 10.4.11 to a 2011 iMac running 10.6.8. What is the best way?

    It depends on what you have. The options include:
    1. Connect them with a FireWire cable and start up with old iMac with the T key held down.
    2. Copy the files over a network.
    3. Copy the files to an external drive. Some files require the volume to be formatted as Mac OS Extended.

  • 2011 iMac run Leopard?

    Hi.
    I have a special plugin that runs in Adobe Illustrator that will only run in Leopard. Will a 2011 iMac run on Leopard please?
    TIA. R

    You can install Windows either on a Boot Camp partition or as a guest OS in an app like Virtual Box.
    Already doing that but if you have used CorelDraw and Windows generally you'll realise why I would prefer to use the Mac. In Windows, Corel crashes at least 4 times a day.:D
    Or find an inexpensive, used, older Mac, to just run Leopard and the engraver.
    I didn't buy a new iMac to have to go and buy an older iMac. Time to try Snow Leopard I think...

  • Text Messaging Out Of Order?

    Anyone else getting their text messages out of order? I will text, get a reply and text back but the order comes out something like my two texts and then a reply...its annoying.

    I get that problem too..
    Your right its really annoying.
    ALSO, Apple made me mad not adding a Text messaging forward feature in that last update!
    DO THEY NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MANY CHAIN TEXTS THERE ARE?!?

  • Apple DVD player not working on Mid 2011 iMac running 10.7.2

    I have a 21.5-inch, Mid 2011 iMac which came with Lion preinstalled.  When I insert a DVD, Apple's DVD player comes up with the following error:
    "A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]"
    The DVD player works.  I can play DVDs using VLC, and I can use it to burn in iDVD, but Apple's own DVD player simply will not recognize it.  I hoped this problem might be solved when I upgraded to 10.7.2, but alas it has not.
    Does anyone know how to fix or work around this issue?  This computer is used daily for my media-heavy job, so leaving it somewhere for service is not really feasible unless I'm completely unable to work on it.

  • How do I update firmware for mid 2011 iMac running Yosemite?

    I tried the link in the Apple support pages, but it told me I need Lion to install it. I bought the computer used. It came with Mavericks and I updated to Yosemite. I don't have Lion or any way (or desire to) install it.

    There is no update for the mid-2011 iMac firmware that will fix the fans running at high speed.
    Only the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) Apple hard drives had the proprietary firmware designed to properly monitor the hard drive temperature.
    So you have several possible solutions:
    1. If the computer was sold to you with a warranty, rather than "AS IS", my first choice would be to force the seller to restore the computer to the condition it was represented to be in when you purchased it, with an OEM Apple 500GB drive that does not cause the fan problem. If they cannot or will not correct the problem, make them take it back and refund your money. Consumer advocates such as the Better Business Bureau can help you prepare a formal complaint against the seller, and perhaps lead to a successful resolution through arbitration, without hiring an attorney and filing a lawsuit.
    2. If you bought the computer "AS IS", you'll have to attempt to repair the problem yourself:
    A) Locate an exact replacement for the original OEM Apple hard drive with the proper firmware and install it on your own;
    B) Purchase a 'compatibility kit'. OtherWorldComputing www.macsales.com reverse-engineered a solution to the problem and sells a short cable with an external temperature sensor for the hard drive that can be used successfully with non-OEM drives. http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIDIMACHDD11/
    They also sell the sensor cable with a toolkit that can be used to disassemble and install the cable. http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIYIMACHDD11/
    C) Try the fan control program mentioned in earlier replies.

  • HT1522 I have a mid 2011 iMac running Lion, and the remote seems not to work at all!

    Have been trying to pair my Apple Remote with my mid 2011 imac.
    Nothing doing, although if I go and try same remote with an older macbook, it works fine.Battery all fine too, have been checking via digital camera. Something on my iMac is preventing this remote form being seen (and yes I have disabled ir receiving on the laptom after testing it)
    any ideas?
    thanks for your time!!

  • Skype Messages Out Of Order.

    This has for some reason only started within the past few hours, and i have never experienced this issue in the past, for some reason while sending messages they are out of order and look something like this:
    Them: Message #8
    Them message #10
    Me: Message #1
    Them: Message #6 appears here.
    Them: Message #2
    Them: Message #4 appears here.
    Me: Message #3
    Me: Message #5
    Me: Message #7
    Me: Message #9
    Makes it impossible to have a conversation as i have to scan over dozens of messages to try to find a new one that has all of a sudden appeared, i have tried searching for solutions and the only one i found was "Sync time and date" i have updated my time and date to make sure but they were never out of sync to begin with.
    Cheers, Nick.

    http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-Phone/Time-w​rong/m-p/1278306#M2012
    Meanwhile you may try to revert to the previous Skype 5.10.0.116 version.
    http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_5.10.0.11​6.msi
    You don’t even need to run this installer. Using the procedure described here,
    http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows/How-to-updat​e-Skype-without-using-any-Skype-installer/m-p/7073​...
    extract the Skype.exe file from the SkypeSetup_5.10.0.116.msi file and replace your currently installed Skype.exe with this older Skype.exe file. You will be now running the Skype 5.10.0.116 version.

  • SMS messages out of order

    Ever since I upgraded to 1.1.3, my text messages with certain people are out of order. I'll send a message, then when they reply their message will be above mine, like their reply was the original message then I replied. I hope that makes sense. Is anyone else having this problem? Do you know how to fix it? My time is already selected to be set by the network.

    That problem was acknowledged by Apple. Their possible solution is go to Settings>General>Date&Time>Set Automatically ON

  • 2011 iMac running 10.8.4 Lion - WiFi keeps dropping out - Please help!

    Ever since I upgraded from 10.8.3 to 10.8.4, my iMac wireless internet connection keeps dropping off - I have to keep turning Wifi off and on again to establish the connection. It is not a problem with the modem or the internet as we have 4 different devices and none of them have this issue. I would say it happens every 5-10 minutes - VERY annoying!
    If anyone has any tips on how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    MRaja

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article.  
    Step 2
    If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
    Step 4
    This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 5

  • Anyone know why only one app from CS6 will open on 2011 iMac running 10.6.8?

    Hi
    My version of CS6 is purported to be able to run on my dual Quad Intel Mac from 2011 (running OSX 10.6.8), however all but InDesign show a crossed out application icon.
    Any familiar experiences out there?
    Thanks

    Most likely, because your Mac and iPhoto think that you have connected a camera or mass storage device that has images on it.
    Not sure where to go from there, but I would start by looking at the setting in both iPhoto Preferences and Image Capture if I wanted iPhoto to ignore that device.
