Messages Abruptly Stopped Functioning

Hello Everyone,
I've recently run into a issue with Messages on my Macbook Air (running Mountain Lion w/ latest updates).
Plainly put, Messages not longer functions at all.  Launching the application from the taskbar opens not windows.  When I make a "New Message" form the menu bar at the top, the standard messages window opens, but without any previous convesations.  I'm able to type out a message but hitting enter does not send the message.
Messages still arrive at my MacBook Air via alerts and the icon in the launch bar does reflect the unread messages with badging.
I've quit, restarted, but have not been able to affect any change.
Thoughts on possible solutions?
Thanks
Dave

  • LR 5.3 has stopped functioning. Message : LR encountered an error when reading fromit's previous cac

    LR 5.3 has stopped functioning. Message Lightroom encountered an error when reading from it's previous cache and needs to Quit. Re boot comes backtio the same message how do I get the software back?

    Thanks, it makes sense but I am a little worried about the files that are coming up for lr catalog. In order to process today's photos I opened a new catalog and that went well -- up to Smugmug and out to the client. but the only other file with today's (date which is when I had the problem -- power failure while I was importing) --  is not a previews file but in fact the corrupt lr.cat.
    the rest listed including previews are dated 2012. Am I not looking in the proper place.
    Thanks for your help

  • 'unfortunately messaging has stopped' error

    Hi all, I have bought an Xperia Z3 compact phone few days ago. And since yesterday, I get the message 'unfortunately, messaging has stopped' as soon as I try to open the messaging app. It is really annoying, as this is a basic function of a phone. I have tried restarting, force closing the app, updating with sony udpates, and clearing all data. Any ideas how to repair this?

    well, It seems my problem has been solved miraculously! Here is what I did: Following some suggestion on another forum to use another app for messaging, I installed the 'GO SMS PRO' to use instead of the default messaging. The new app asked me if I wanted to have it as default instead of the 'messaging' app, and I said yes. Then by mistake I clicked again on the messaging app icon on my phone, the messaging also asked me if I wanted to use messaging app instead of the GO SMS PRO to read my messages and I said yes. AND BINGO all of a sudden the 'Messaging' app is working again! I guess moving to the new default app has changed some thing that was giving the error.  Anyways, I thought to share it with you, in case someone else has the same problem

  • 'Attach photo' to emails and messages has stopped working. Help?

    'Attach photo' to emails and messages has stopped working.
    The function is grayed out. Help?
    — Relatively new iPhone 6+ with latest system ...
    If on a mac, I'd be running a disk utility or looking to overwrite an app, or re-install the system.
    Although over 25 years on Macs, this is my first iPhone... and I'm missing a few (probably) subtle things to do to resurrect this function.
    Help?
    Thanks

    Hi CartoonBob,
    If you are having issues with being unable to attach a photo from Mail on your iPhone, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Re CS5 Ruler tool has stopped functioning. How can I correct this problem?

    Re CS5 Ruler tool has stopped functioning. How can I correct this problem?

    First try re-setting the Ruler Tool from the tool's fly-out menu.
    If that doesn't do it, then trash and recreate Photoshop preferences.
    If you had at least indicated your platform, I could be more specific, but here it goes anyway:
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"

  • Microsoft Date Picker control unexpectedly stops functioning in Outlook 2010

    We have a long-standing Outlook VBA project that has unexpectedly stopped functioning with the error message "Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found".
    We have traced the problem to the 'Microsoft Date/Time Picker' control.  We have successfully unregistered and re-registered both the MSCOMCTL.OCX and MSCOMCT2.OCX files in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder with administrative privileges.  However,
    when using the free NirSoft RegDLLView utility, neither of the Microsoft common control files above shows as registered.  Furthermore, if we try to use the NirSoft RegDLLView utility to register these files, we receive an unknown error
    message, unlike the successful registration using the Windows Regsvr32 utility.
    Can someone please help us understand why the files appear to register properly, but apparently are not actually registered?
    Is there a way to scan these files for corruption or replace them with fresh versions?

    Thank you for the reply, Amy.  Being a novice and forced into this discussion by our malfunctioning Outlook 2010 project, we have a couple other questions, if you don't mind.
    FIRST, both the common control downloads refer to users of Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, Visual Studio 6.0., or Microsoft Office Developer XP.  We don't own any of these standalone packages, so do we have them installed as a result of
    being Microsoft Office 2010 users?  There is never any mention of Office 2010 in any of the download descriptions or even other office suites.
    SECOND, is one file an older file and the other a newer file?  Neither shows requirements or makes mention of Microsoft Windows 7.0 (64-bit), which we are using.  But the MSCOMCTL.OCX download does list required operating systems
    up to Windows XP.  Which do we need and why don't they refer to newer operating systems?
    THIRD, the downloads also talk about discontinued support for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 and that the MSCOMCT2.OCX file is no longer included with Microsoft XP Developer.  What is the significance of all this, these files apparently
    shipped with our version of Microsoft Office 2010.  What replaces these controls if they are out-dated?
    As you can tell, we are advanced enough to dabble in some VBA projects, forms, and macros, but are totally confused by the mixed signals sent by these types of articles.  If we want to continue developing projects how do know what path to
    follow so we don't end up with antiquated controls or other outdated elements?  Or, are these files really even outdated?  Thank you for any enlightenment. 

  • HELP! After doing a recent update (Version4.4.2) on my Droid Razr M my messaging has stopped!

    HELP! After doing a recent update (Version4.4.2) on my Droid Razr M my messaging has stopped working. Every time I try to open to sent a text I get ,"Unfortunately, messaging has stopped" message. Any ideas on how to correct this issue??? not liking this at all!!!

    Ok got in touch with Live Chat and fixed it. Go to app manager and open messaging there. Clear cache, data then force stop. That fixed it! But when I opened messaging I could only read messages couldn't reply. At the top of the screen was a message asking to set default either as Google hangouts or SMS. once you set the default messaging should be fully functional. Hope it helps.

  • Suddenly audio device stopped functioning dv6 3127tx laptop

    What happend few days back my laptop dv6 3127tx  left speaker stopped working today suddenly audio device stopped functioning.It says when i take mouse there no speakers or audio plugged in.Did I lost both the speeakers.or any problem with the drivers.

    Hi tristh1,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my utmost to assist you.
    I grasp that you have lost the sound. You have tried installing sound drivers, but you got a message that"the hardware detected is not compatible with this IDT audio package".  You are unsure of the model number and were unable to confirm it.  Here is a link to How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? so you can verify the model.
    Here is link to No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7),to aid in resolving this issue.

    Talked with Go Daddy and it looks like the cause of this is some kind of incompatibility between Safari 8 and their workspace 'securesever' online CLASSIC VIEW. If you click the "UPDATED VIEW" on the top right hand corner, you will get a new view and it should solve the logout due to inactivity error when clicking on the email or sending the email.

  • IOS 5: Phone button stopped functioning

    After updating IOS 5,  the phone button at my IP4 has stopped functioning. I can not make phone calls except using contacts button or listen my messages. I see that I have 4 messages but the application switches off after two seconds or does not start after pressing the phone button. There are other problems such battery draining. I realized that notification system is not functioning as well, despite me turning off all notifications I am still getting notifications from NYT and  Facebook as well.

    It took me a couple of days because most of the time I have the sound turned off.  It was only after my son was playing Slice Fractions and asked me to turn on the sound that I noticed it at all and only then because the app was loud as...well, it was really loud. 
    On the other end of the service report spectrum, for whatever reason, my gut told me to get Apple Care when I got the phone.  May have been the persuasive smile of the salesgirl or just good instincts...  Still, they were really professional on my text-chat session.  We tried a few of the things that were outlined above and then they just set me up with an appointment at the Genius Bar for Wednesday afternoon.  I am told there is a good chance that they will give me a new device if they can't fix it on the spot.  Since I will be restoring from a backup, the problem, if it is a glitch, should appear on the new phone as well and then we'll have our answer...
    Apple Care vs. Taking Care is like the difference between Good Whiskey vs. Cheap Whiskey: 
    Pay now or Pay later...
    I'll keep you posted...

  • Num lock stopped functioning on Qosmio F750

    Hello,
    I have a Qosmio F750-11T. Four days ago I started up my laptop and found out my num lock stopped functioning. The led always lights up, but the buttons do not respond. I can't put the num lock off or on and I can 't produce any numbers anymore with it (nor use the pgup, pgdn buttons when it should be off).
    I read some stuff on the (.com) forum and updated the BIOS to the latest version, rebooted it, but nothing helps.
    I bought the laptop just 3 months ago. I would appreciate if somebody could help me out with this.
    Thank you!

    Best thing you can do is to contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Im pretty sure they will exchange keyboard and everything will be OK again. Notebook is pretty new with valid warranty so you must not pay for keyboard exchange.
