Messages cannot be displayed at this time... am I missing something?

In order to use my mail, I now have to use the browser instead of my mail application because of the new "upgrade". Unfortunately, my online mailbox keeps blacking out saying that my messages more than a week old cannot be displayed at this time. Any reason as to why? I cannot upgrade to Lion because I use software with my clients that is no longer supported in Lion.

I have the same problem - same Mac etc. Can anyone help please

TS3988 iCloud:email; "Messages cannot be displayed at this time"

I am getting "Messages cannot be displayed at this time", which is slightly scary since all email messages are located on a server and not downloaded to my laptop or iPhone. Any suggestions?

iMessages and iCloud are down.

"This message cannot be sent at this time." I have been getting this pop-up for 3 days when trying to send out mail. I don't know what to do! I cannot send mail from this account on any ISP. Please help!

lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

Error appears: Cannot send message. this message cannot be sent at this time - has been appearing everytime i try to send e-mail for the past week!

For the past week I have not been able to send both simple and attached messages through my icloud e-mail.
The error reads: this message cannot be sent at this time. i have the latest version of Firefox, I have even changed my password in hopes that this would resolve the issue, but alas, it hasn't worked. HELP!

This is a terrible customer experience for Apple users. I have been dealing with this same issue since April 2012; all used to work just fine and then suddenly -- "Cannot send message" error appears.
When is Apple going to fix this? I have two iPads and an iPhone but often need to access files from my PC (next time, it'll be a Mac),
Very frustrating.

HT4847 I'm trying to delete (my stolen) iPhone 4s from my iCloud back up listing. But when i try although both the stolen and my new phone are listed if i try to delete the old one it comes up with a message 'cannot delete backup at this time'

When i try to delete my stolen 4s from the icloud back u list i get a message saying 'ths cannot be deleted at this time' . This is taking up 2.2gb of space. How can i delete the device? I have unregistered the device and sent a remote wipe message to the phone.

I did get rid of a few after I set the iphone to not show music which was in the cloud but I still have 2 albums that won't go away. Any more suggestions? Thanks for your help.

Can not send message. This message cannot be sent at this time.

I keep receiving this error message when trying to send emails from iCloud.com. Typically pops us when I reply to emails. I noticed that clearing the website history helps but this is just an ugly workaround. Does anybody know the fix? Thanks.

Hello tgbszk,
Clearing the cache everytime you want to send email is not the way it should work. I would touch base with your ISP to make sure the settings you have are correct for their system and then, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.
Cheers,
Jeff D.

HT201210 Cannot be restored at this time because the iphone update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable

Please help trying to restore my device but keep getting an error message Cannot be restored at this time because the iphone update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable

Restore the iPhone when connected to iTunes by cable.
Still the same TS1275?
Is your iPhone jailbroken?
Or
Has your computer ever been used to jailbrake or downgrade (Tinyumbrella) any iPhone?

Content editor webpart error "cannot retrieve properties at this time"

Hi,
Everytime I try to editor content within the content editor web part I receive the error message "cannot retrieve properties at this time".
I can edit the content within the web part when I use http. The error only seems to occur to when using https and SSL.
I've looked at the following web site and KB articles to implement a workaround however still get the same error.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830342
Can anyone else suggest anything else?

My symptoms
1. CEWP & Sharepoint Designer could not retrieve data.
2. Event id 5000 "ulsexception12,p1 w3wp.exe ..."
Problem
1. Upgraded Small Farm WSS and SPS 2007 to SP2.
2. Unhandled exceptions and access denieds int the uls logs no specifics to run down.
3. Crawl issues and had to reset the crawl index.
Solution
1. ASPNet user account had certain rights stripped by gpo, check your permission with Tech Net "IIS and Built-in Accounts 6.0" or I found a much easier product to use Mircrosofts "Authentication & Access Control Diagnostics 1.0"
2. Ran the "stsadm -o sync -listolddatabases 0" to check for unsyn'd databases then ran the "stsadm -o sync deleteolddatabases 0" to clear those databases.
Havn't seen any further issues, this was a tuff nut to crack hope this helps someone else.jellywood

Try posting to the correct forum.
This is the iPhone for the Enterprise forum... there is nothing about the issue that appears to apply to using an iPhone in an Enterprise (corporate) environment.
Try posting to the iTunes for the Mac forum.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I keep getting an error message when downloading a new app which states " Zinio and 5 other apps cannot be purchased at this time" and then it let's me purchase the app that I was looking at? Can anyone explain that?

This worked for someone
I had this problem for about six weeks. I was following this forum but was too unsure of what might happen to try the fixes that were suggested.
About two weeks ago I decided to delete the downloads.28.sqlitedb file (usingDiskAid(a free program), on a PC running Windows 7). The original downloads.28.sqlitedb was 936 KB. The new one that the system created is 80 Kb., and has stayed at about that size. After about four days I also deleted all the other contents of the Download folder. Ten days later and still no more problems. Downloads are much quicker, nothing greys-out (as was happening frequently before).
Everything has worked well since with no more error messages.
I am using an iPod 4G, iOS 5.1 (originally iOS 5.0). I do not have a manifest file, and as far as I know, have not had one. DiskAid can search the whole "hard drive" on the iPod.
Deleting downloads.28.sqlitedb and the contents of Downloads worked for me.

Since upgrading to ios7, apps just say waiting and then get the app cannot be downloaded at this time message. We run a proxy server, devices running ios6 have no problems. Anyone know what the problem is? I think apple just needs to fix its new OS.

I work at a school running 10 iPads. We connect to the internet through a proxy server. Prior to iOS7 we had no issues, the devices still on iOS6 work perfectly.
All devices which have been upgraded to iOS7 cannot download apps. I can find the apps in the store, choose to download them, but the icon hangs for a while before returning the "app cannot be downloaded at this time message". Help.

I have this same exact issue. We have even put all apple servers as not even being filtered by proxy and it still wont download anything. Nor will it let us even log in or create a new acct in the app store. It seems its also not just app store related....as it won't even let you check for IOS updates when a proxy is entered.
If anyone has any ideas let us know!

I used "Migration Assistant" to send everything from my old mac to my new which included my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I tried downloading an update but when it asked me to find the version of acrobat to replace it was grayed out and I was unable to select it. My OS is 10.9.4
