Messages from iMac Not Received by Recipient?

I just installed Mavericks and tried out the Messages app.  It took a few minutes, but when I send a messages from the iMac it shows up on my iPhone and iPad as I would expect it to.  But it is not being received by the recipient.  I've looked at both system and message preferences and don't see anything that would fix the problem.
When my wife sends me a message it shows up on my iPhone, iPad, and iMac.  But I've sent messages to her and a friend, and neither have received them.
Any ideas?  Thank you very much.

Never mind.  I guess Mavericks just needed some time to warm up.  Working now.

  • Attachments sent from Mail not received by recipient

    Howdy...
    When I send an attachment through Mail and my Gmail account, both Mail and Gmail say there are attachments that were sent, but when my recipient gets the email, there is no attachment there.... Ideas?

    It sounds like you are using Rich Text Format, and are using at least two different fonts (with the Signature as a possible second font source). In this mode, the RTF is converted to HTML, and this is probably causing those who have the problem receiving in good order.
    Compose and send in Plain Text to these people, see if it does do the trick?

  • When I send a text message from my iphone sometimes the recipient receives it twice...why does this happen.

    Why is it that when I send a text message, sometimes the recipient receives it twice. It doesn't happen every time.

    I am having this same problem. Sometimes it sends from my phone number, sometimes it sends from my gmail. Under my messages settings it says "receive messages at 2 addresses" and when I click on that I try to remove the gmail address from there but the option to delete that email address is grayed out so I can't click on it.
    I discovered this was happening because I am in a group imessage with 2 friends. They told me that for some reason the group convos were split into 2 different conversations in their message list. And we discovered it's because in one group the messages are coming from my phone number, and in the other group it is coming from my gmail address.
    I don't mind RECEIVING iMessages at both my phone number and my gmail - but I want control over which one is being used when I SEND iMessages.
    Any ideas??? Thanks in advance.

  • Pics sent in Messages not received by recipient.

    Before iOS 6, I was able to send pictures attached to a message to my friends without iPhones. Since updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 6, my friends may or may not receive the picture within the Messages app. All SMS and MMS settings are turned on and no other settings have been changed unless the iOS update changed them.
    Can anyone suggest a possible reason and maybe a way to get Messages to work with pictures like it did before the iOS 6 update?

  • The Air Drop Icon is not available.  Cannot send or receive messages from anyone not using Messenger.

    I have checked to see that my iPad is using the latest software available and it is.  I have followed on-line directions to access Air Drop, but I do not have the Icon for it anywhere.
    I am not able to send or receive messages to anyone not using Messenger.  Thee Apple page says I should be able to.
    Any help appreciated.

    Yes, it is 2 questions. 
    My iPad is Model MC763LL/A - I hope that is the answer!  I do have Blue Tooth on.  I am not connected to WiFi, but am on Cellular Data here.  That should not have a bearing on the icon being loaded, should it?

  • Messages from iPad not Synching with MacBook Pro when Powered Off

    I have the new MacBook Pro (2 GHz, i7, purchased Feb 2014), 15" Retina running OSX 10.9.4.  I also had an iPad3 (Retina) but just upgraded to the new iPad Air 2 weeks ago.  I do not have an iPhone, but that's next.  I have used the same iCloud account for all devices.
    The issue:
    Messages (or message conversations) that I have when using my iPad Air are not synching with the MacBook under certain conditions.
    1) If my MacBook is on, there is no issue. Messages between devices (whether being composed on the iPad or MacBook) synch instantly between devices.
    2) If my MacBook is sleeping, most (but I do not think all) messages sent from my iPad will synch with the MacBook when it wakes up from sleep.
    3) If my MacBook was powered off and I had message conversations using my iPad while the MacBook was off, these messages do not synch with my MacBook after I turn it back on.  BUT, this depends:
         a) if I power on the MacBook shortly after (5-10 min) I had the message conversation on the iPad, sometimes these messages on the iPad will synch with my MacBook after I power it on.
         b) If my MacBook was powered off for several hours after I had a message conversation on my iPad, and then I power on the MacBook, these conversations are not synching on the MacBook at all.
         i.e Assume MacBook is powered off.  I have a message conversation on my iPad at 4:30 PM.  If I power on my MacBook at 4:35 PM, the message from my iPad synchs with the MacBook.  However, if I power on my MacBook say at 10 PM or the next day, then the message conversation I had on the iPad DOES NOT synch with my MacBook.
    Confused?  So am I.  To complicate matters, I did not have these issues while I had my old iPad 3.  I only starting noticing it when I bought the new iPad Air two weeks ago.  I do not know if this is related.
    Another issue:  SOME message conversations on my MacBook and iPad air now appear to get out of chronological order.  In fact, on my iPad air, I received a message at 10 AM (message A) and then had several other messages with this person throughout the day on my iPad (at 11 AM, and then 2 PM).  Later that evening around 10 PM, the original message (message A) was received again as a new message on my iPad (i.e. received a new message notification).  Now, message A appears out of order (it shows the timestamp of 10 AM, but it displays after the messages that came at 11 AM and 2 PM).  Since my MacBook was on, these messages synched with my MacBook, but were (and remain) in the proper chronological order.
    Other iCloud apps (calendar, mail, FaceTime notifications, notes, keychain, Photo-stream etc. seem to be synching fine between devices).  One last observation, when I bought the iPad air and restored it from the backup I made from the old iPad 3, everything restored fine from the backup except for Calendar.  For whatever reason, some old calendar entries did not restore on the new iPad.
    I have run a myriad of tests (sending messages to myself from both my new and old iPad (even created a new apple ID from the old iPad)) with my MacBook sleeping or powered off for varying amounts of time in order to provide the information above.  I also reinstalled the operating system on my MacBook but this did not resolve the issue.
    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would be extremely grateful. I have been in contact by phone with Apple support and have them baffled as well, but they are doing their best to help.
    Thanks,
    HankSTL
    ps.  I may post to several communities so if you see this message in several communities, I am just trying to get the best coverage.

    The same thing is happening to me.
    And it's similar to this thread:

    Thought I'd cross-ref the two.

  • I only want to send emails from mail (not receive)

    I am apprehensive in setting up my Mail because I don't want it to import any emails from my online email account. I don't want all that stuff on my hard drive and I like to access it online from whatever computer.
    Is there a way to set up your email account so that you can only email out, but not receive/download the emails on to your computer?

    Set up your account, have it Enabled, but do not select to have it included when automatically checking for new messages, and also click on Mailbox in the menubar and take the account Offline. In Mail, and Offline account can be used to send, but will not collect new messages. There are a few providers that require you to have at least logged into the serve one time, and authenticated.

  • Keep getting a message from Javascript (not Java)- "Uninstall Set", help it will not go away

    Each time I use Firefox, the message "Uninstall Set" keep popping up from Javascript (not Java). I can not use Firefox because this keeps popping up.

    That would be from an extension, anything similar from Firefox would have been cleaned up. If you'd been on 4.0.1 for a while and it just started happening, then I'd try Tools > Add-ons > Extensions then on the gear wheel choose "View Recent Updates" the date will appear the list small and the. The "last updated" button near top right does something mysterious.
    To see list in normal fashion again choose "Appearances" then return to "Extensions".
    If you dislike the formatting of the Add-ons list during normal viewing you can improve it tremendously with a custom style:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish :: Add-ons for Firefox]
    * [http://userstyles.org/styles/42112/firefox-4-compact-addons-manager Firefox 4 - Compact Addons Manager - Themes and Skins for browser - userstyles.org]
    From the wording the message could possible be referring to a Collection of Extensions. I avoid collection sets like the plague.

  • Error message: The message from - has not been downloaded from the server.

    "The message from Doug Peets <[email protected]> concerning “Fires” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    I get this error message several times per day, even on my Sent mail box, and Drafts, which clearly does not need to be downloaded (does it?). It usually happens when I switch mailboxes, from In to Sent, to Drafts and so on.
    I have 100 Gigs of hard drive with 90 Gigs free. I have about 6,700 saved incoming e-mails and 4,700 sent e-mails.
    TRhis has only started happening in the last couple months. How do i get rid of it? Is it because i have too many saved e-mails?
    When I shut down Mail and re-open it, the messages display properly, but this is a nuisance several times per day.
    Thanks,
    Doug.

    Thanks. I moved half of the messages to a new mailbox "old e-mails", then copied that to a new folder on my desk top, which saved it with a .mbox suffix, then emptied the Old e-mails mailbox in Mail. I will repeat this every three months.
    So far, so good.
    thanks for your help.

  • Iphone 5 Picture Messages Sent But Not received

    My iphone 5 will send picture messages and say delivered  (iMessages) but not received by that person. The person will only get the picture if it was through SMS. I need help on fixing this ASAP

    Hello Dom_Guy,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iMessage.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more abouttroubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up orforward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
