Messages and FaceTime keep disconnecting from my MacBook Pro.

iMessage and FaceTime keep disconnecting from my MacBook Pro. I’ve never turned either of them off on my computer, but every time I turn them back on, they work for about a week, and then I start getting messages and phone calls on my iPhone and iPad but not on my MacBook. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'll ask the hosts to move this post to Yosemite.

  • Wifi randomly disconnects from my macbook pro running 10.9.2.

    Wifi randomly disconnects from my macbook pro running 10.9.2.  Rebooting is necessary to regain the wifi connection.  The wifi power indicator indicates a full connection, but the card sees no wifi networks. I have renamed the location, deleted and reinstalled the wifi interface, moved the wifi inerface to the top, and reset the DNS.  This problem is continual and occurs with all wifi spots.   Please help.

    It seems that the wifi on the computer shuts off and will not turn on until the computer has been rebooted.  Can someone poease help?

  • My 2012 Mac Mini came with a SSD and with Yosemite, can I add a SSHD and also migrate everything from a Macbook Pro that is running Lion 10.7.5?

    Hi Apple Community,
    Today I received a refurbished 2012 i5 Mac Mini that I purchased via Amazon. The Mac Mini came with a 256gb Samsung SSD only installed. The Mac Mini also has 10.10.2 Yosemite.
    I am planing on ordering an "OWC Data Doubler Mounting Kit" to add another drive onto the Mac Mini.
    (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIYIMM11D2/)
    I also plan on getting a second drive which would be a 1tb SSHD Black Western Digital (16GB SSD) 2.5 SATA III (6.0GB/s) 5400RPM drive.
    Now here is where I am a very confused and concerned. What I essentially want to do is use Migration Assistant to completely migrate what I have on a 2012 i7 Macbook Pro's 750gb HDD to the Mac Mini's 1tb SSHD drive. I want every file and setting to be placed on my new Mac Mini just the way it is on the Macbook Pro. The Macbook Pro is however using 10.7.5 Lion while my new Mac Mini is using 10.10.2 Yosemite.
    What makes me confused is, if I migrate everything from the Macbook Pro onto the 1tb SSHD, would I still be able to benefit by having the 256gb Samsung SSD in the Mac Mini? For instance, would the Mac Mini still be able to boot up super fast and use the SSD to write and read programs very fast? Or is it because I am migrating everything from my Macbook Pro's HDD onto the Mac Mini's 1tb SSHD, my Mac Mini will not be able to use the speed benefits of the SSD?
    Another concern is, will I be able to use Yosemite or will I be stuck with 10.7.5 Lion? I would only like Yosemite. I do not mine if Lion is removed from my new Mac Mini.

    UPDATE:
    Hi again,
    I made more research on raid and now I am considering not to raid at all.
    Raid0 seems extremely risky because I do not know how the SSD and SSHD would react together.
    And Raid1 seems like it would not be able to function the way I would like to store my files. [The SSD is 256gb and SSHD is 1tb, there is no point in raid1]
    I think I will just have to add the second drive and use it without raid. I will mostly save media files such as movies, pictures, and music. And for everything else, save it onto the SSD's storage.

  • All iPhones constantly connecting and disconnecting from 2014 MacBook Pro with retina display

    So I have an iPhone 6, 4s, and 3gs, whenever I plug any of them into my MacBook pro they rapidly connect and disconnect. After about 20 seconds of doing this they trackpad and keyboard stop responding and won't be recognized until I restart the laptop.
    Just as more information I have used 5 or 6 different cables and it works fine with my LG G3 and every other usb device I use. I have iTunes updated to 12.0.1 and OSX updated to 10.10, and this has been happening for about 2 months or so. My iPhone 6 is running 8.1 but did this before, although with the first sync when I first got the phone it worked fine.
    Any information would be helpful
    Thank you

    I'm having the exact same issue with the new 2014 iMac 5K Retina i5. iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s both work flawlessly.

  • Wifi keeps disconnecting on my Macbook Pro.

    Macbook Pro (Mid-2012) Which I purchased 4 months ago.
    It keeps dropping the signal about every 5 minutes, only on my home network. It's only this device too, since my phone and all of my roomates' devices are unphased. (streaming videos like it's no big deal)
    This started happening after we lost connectivity with the snow a few days ago here in Seattle. I have tried all sort of toubleshooting, including the DNS thingy and restarting the router.
    It does not have this problem when I am at work, school, or elsewhere.
    I appreciate anyone who takes the time to assist!
    Best,
    Rachel

    A great deal more information is available by holding the Option key while clicking on the Wi-Fi Icon on the MenuBar:
    What do you get for PHY mode?
    What Channel?
    What RSSI?
    What Transmit Rate?
    And, How many other Networks do you see?

  • ITunes icon and App Store missing from my MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I just changed my MacBook Pro hard drive but I now have a problem with iTunes and the App Store.
    iTunes is opening and working correctly but the icon for it is a notepad with a pen. I tried to download the new version and install it but it is still the same.
    The App Store has a question mark as an icon and doesn't open at all. When I clic on it, the icon is not even bouncing.
    Please help me resolve this problem.
    Thanks
    Julie

    this might or might not work for you...i had something similar happened to me once when my icons and apps got switched around word became excel and excel became itunes.....etc....
    what i did was verify my disk permissions - errors were found - i repaired them and when the repair was done, i restarted my macbook and everything was back to normal.
    again, not sure it will work for you but it's worth a shot...
    good luck - hope you get it sorted out.

  • How can I change the number displayed when I make a call/send a sms? Despite transferring my old number across to my iphone messages.and Facetime are made from the original sim number and not mine. Any ideas?

    I've transferred my old number by PAT code to my new iphone and most of the time it works fine however there are problems when replying to tests and using Facetime when the original sim muber is displayed. My frined can text me on my correct number but if I reply she receives it from the different number. Also when using Facetime the number displayed is the one the came with the iphone. Anyone know what to do to get the number id correct?

    Tell her to contact her carrier and get a new phone number.

  • Firefox says my hotmail account is untrusted and also keeps disconnecting from it

  • My facetime is missing from my macbook pro, does not show up in applications folder or when i type it into the spotlight search bar. Why?

    Please help!

    You say you are running Mac OS X 10.6.8, that does not come with FaceTime preinstalled. To confirm this, open  > About this Mac, and tell us which OS X version you have.
    If it's 10.6.x, open the Mac App Store and purchase FaceTime, or upgrade to a newer OS X version

  • Working on "thing 1" on Macbook Pro and Displaying "thing 2" from same Macbook Pro?

    to start off, I have a MacBoko Pro 13-inch (early 2011) running 10.10.2 (OS X Yosemite). The processor is 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 and the graphics card is Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB.
    I need help with displaying other content on a second display. I would like to work from my MacbookPro, but display different work (content) on a second display (A HD 32" Vizio) using a lightening bolt to HDMI cable. Is this possible? I've been playing around with the "extended display" settings and "Dashboard" settings, but I can't figure it out. Hopefully there's an answer out there.
    Lucas

    Alright, figured it out. Not sure how to delete this thread.
    If someone else is wondering. I figured out you need to go to System Preferences -- > Display -- > arrangement and make sure the "mirror" box is unchecked. Then arrange the displays the way you'd like. Mine are side by side (some people might like them stacked). You can then enter "Mission Control" and drag the windows you'd like to display to your second display. You can control each display by sliding your mouse to the edge of the screen (according to the way you previously arranged them, Mine are side by side to I slide my mouse all to the right to enter one display, and all to the left to enter second display). Then its like a normal computer!
    This is probably old news to a lot of people, but obviously some people don't know it haha.
    Its been a good day!

  • TS3899 How can I see again the emails sent from my MacBook Pro on my iPhone 4?

    Hi. I have a iPhone 4 connected to a Yahoo email account. I used to be able to see the emails sent from the device on the sent mailbox and the emails sent from the MacBook Pro on an automatically created folder called "Sent Messages" that disappeared. I tried deleting the account and creating it again, both on the computer and on the iPhone, but the problem persists. Any idea on how I can solve this problem?

    On your Mac
    in your Mail App, open the folders on the left hand side, by clicking SHOW on top.
    GO down, where your email acount is and unfold.
    Select the SENT folder. If you cant find it, it means it's already used as your SENT folder. Skip next step.
    In Mail App Menu select MAILBOX -> USE THIS MAILBOX FOR -> SENT
    Maybe that does the trick?

  • Why does my macbook pro keep disconnecting from the internet?

    For whatever reason my Macbook pro 15in keeps disconnecting from the internet everytime it goes to sleep. And sometimes when I wake it up, I have to turn wifi on and off a couple times to get it to detect the right signal. This does not happen with my playstation or my phone so it has to be a problem with the Macbook itself. Can anyone give me any information on how to fix this problem? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, amal111.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues.  Also, make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router and the settings have been adjusted to the recommended settings in the second article below.
