Messages not synching between devices

I've currently installed Messages beta, and I thought I would be able to sync the conversations between my computers and my iphone.  However, nothing is synching.  I'm running 10.7.3 and I previoulsly installed Chax.  Even thought Chax is not supported for Lion, I keep getting a notice about ChaxHelperApplications trying to send scripts to iChat whenever I open the app.  Should I be able to sync the conversations between devices?  Is it possible that the Chax scripts are taking away this feature?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Find your Chax.dmg item and run the Installer and chose the Uninstall Option
(You may need to download it again if you did not  keep the .dmg)
Once you have done this go to the Finder > Go Menu and hold the ALT key down and select Library
Open Preferences
Find com.apple.ichat.plist (this will keep a record that it needs to display the Chax Preference Pane icon and the Preferences)
Drag the .plist to the Trash and restart Messages (Yes Messages still uses that .plist).
This should remove the messages about Chax needing to start.
It should not have effected the ability to sync though.

  • Bookmarks Not Synching Between Devices

    My iPad and iPhone are not synching bookmarks. In fact, there were two bookmarks on a novel in my iPhone, and one on my iPad. Today when I looked both to see if they synchronized, I was greeted with only one on my iPhne and none on my iPad. I'm the only one who has access to these devices and I didn't delete them.
    So far this doesn't seem to work at all the way Apple advertises ... For now I have to forgo reading the same book on my iPhone and iPad, otherwise I will never know where I left off. Most frustrating. Anybody have a solution to this problem?

  • Text messages not synching between my iPad and iPhone

    How do I synch the text messages between my iPhone and my iPad. I just sent a text message to an individual using my iPhone 5 and the reply appeared on my iPad only. I also have a whole text conversation sent today that only appears on my iPad and not my iPhone.

    Hi jathom,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you are sending and receiving iMessages as the messages are received on your iPad.
    Since these messages are not being received on your iPhone as expected, these steps are a good place to begin troubleshooting:
    If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
    If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, followthese steps.
    Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
    If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.

  • Messages not working between devices

    Previous to 5 months ago, I had never had any problems with my iMessages working between my iPhone 5s, Macbook Pro, and iPad Mini. Now, no matter war I do I can not get my messages to work with my iPad or Macbook anymore. On the Macbook Messages app it says that my contacts are not registered with iMessage which is just not true. At one point a few months ago it randomly started working and I got all my previous messages on my Mac but after that it went back to the same problem.
    Please help!! I am very frustrated with this.

    Hi,
    Boot into Safe Mode and try your iMessages account there.
    Either if it works or does not work reboot the computer for  normal Start.
    If it did  not work hold down the ALT+CMD+P+R buttons until you here three Start up "Bongs" in total.  (PRAM/NVRAM reset)
    If that does not appear to work check the way your Contacts App is syncing to all the other devices
    Make sure in  Preferences > Accounts only one method is being used to Sync them.
    After that double check all the setting on the Mac and the Phone in particular.
    Forget what you think is set and actually check them off.
    On the Mac in the iMessages account is the iPhone Number actually active for "Receive At" ?
    On the iPhone despite the fact it should be un-alterable is the iPhone Number active  (I have had this one - the Apple ID was still active but the iPhone was not getting iMessages sent to the Number - but was displaying the sync to the Apple ID)
    The same applies also for the Apple ID itself.

  • IMessage not synching between devices

    Ok sorry if this has been asked and answered already but I've had a good look around and haven't been able to solve this problem yet.
    I have an ipad1 and an iPhone 3GS both with ios5. I use the iPad most of all and when I send iMessages to my friends. That conversation does not appear on the iPhone. I thought it was supposed to so if you started a conversation on the iPad and left home you could continue it on your phone.
    My friend receives the full conversation on his iPad and iPhone.
    We've checked and double checked the settings and I'm 99% sure they are correct
    Anybody help me
    THANKS
    MIKE

    Thanks for the reply paulcb :)
    I managed to sort it by turning iMessage off on all devices and then turning it back on starting with my phone. Once you do that it starts to activate them all.
    I then soft resetted my phone and ipad and now all 3 devices are working in harmony once again.

  • Time not synched between devices

    Been noticing lately a big difference between the time my iPhone displays, the time my work mac displays and the time my bosses mac displays. We all have our clocks set automatically (to pacific time), yet there is almost 10 minutes difference between my phone and my power mac, and almost 5 minutes difference between my power mac and my bosses power mac. Any ideas what can be going on here? It's starting to cause problems showing up to meetings on time.

  • Sent mail does not sync between devices

    My sent mail does not sync between devices. For example, if I send an email from my Iphone it does not show in my sent box on the MAC mail (postage stamp). If I send mail from MAC mail it does not show on my phone.  But if I go to Yahoo (mail) I can see all sent mail.
    What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting that allows them to snch sent mail??

    From reports on this site, Yahoo mail doesn't work reliably with Mail. The following steps may help.
    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    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), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • IBooks Library not synching between iPad & Macbook Pro

    I've loaded PDFs into my iPad and Macbook Pro ibook libraries, but they are not synching between the devices. All synching has been turned on in preferences on my Mac, iTunes and iPad. Any suggestions as to how to get both devices listing same ibook library contents?

    Tack on another user.  Annoying to say the least...
    Found another thread on another forum that mentioned disabling and re-enabling the "automatically download books" opton under settings / itunes & app stores and after doing that, the two started syncing again even though I don't purchase my books through the itunes store.

  • Cloud not synching between phone/imac/mac book pro, calendar and addresses not synching.

    addresses and calendar not synching between 3 devices.. phone, iMac and mac book pro.
    dates are correct, iCloud is on for those applications. etc.

    Your profile shows that you are running OS X 10.6.7.  If that's true, you will need to update a iCloud requires OS X 10.7.5 or later.  If you are running a more recent version of OS X and your data still isn't syncing, check to be sure of the following:
    That your Mac and iOS devices are signed into the same iCloud account and have Calendars and Contacts turned on in Settings (System Preferences)>iCloud.
    That you have selected iCloud as your Default Account for contacts in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars on your iOS devices and in Contacts (Address Book)>Preferences>General on your Macs.
    That you have selected an iCloud calendar as your Default Calendar in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars on your iOS devices and in Calendar (iCal)>Preferences>General on your Macs.

  • Mail not synching between laptops

    HI,  I am currently using two MacBook Air laptops,  why does my Macmail not synch between the two,  it is driving me crazy trying to find sent mails,  i have to go through both.  And when i use mail through icloud that is not synched to either to either of them.   Help?

  • Ibooks pdfs do not sync between devices?

    Is Ibooks supposed to sync between devices?

    Is this really the case? I'm getting more and more disenchanted with my iPad. It's implied in all the advertising that iCloud will 'magically' make sure everything stays synched between your devices. But is it actually true that the pdfs I have saved in a collection on my iPad (which were downloaded from any old website), will not sync to my mac at all? How is this helpful in any way? I've got 'sync all books' selected in itunes on the mac, and 'sync collections' selected in the settings on all my devices.
    Edited to add: they don't sync over iCloud or when i have the iPad connected by cable, if that was not clear.
    Quite frankly, this is rubbish and in my opinion, blatant false advertising. Is there some annoyingly cumbersome workaround I can use??

  • Messages not synching

    Good day. My messages are not synching. I have skype installed in 3 different devices. I only use the 2 other device to check messages. But It is not updating. We have a conversation (individual and group) yesterday but the latest conversation that is in my other device were 2-3days ago. Please help. I'm using Skype for Android, and 2 for Windows (a desktop and a laptop). All of them have the latest version of skype I believe (7.4 for Windows and 5.3 for Android)

    Anyone please?

  • Bridge Calendar not synching with device - missing entries

    Since the upgrade to OS 2 I have noticed that the calendar does not synch properly.  There are entries on the device (and outlook) that don't appear at all in the bridge calendar.  What is more strange is that sometimes some of them  do...but when the page refreshes (say from waking from sleep) they have disappeared again!
    I have updated bridge on both the device (Bold 9780) and the playbook, but no difference.
    All the various calendar entries (desktop, gmail etc.) are properly checked off in the device bridge options list.
    Starting this as a new thread as I see a number of others have raised the same question some time ago but without resolution...so here's hoping!
    Seriously, any help would be much appreciated.  It's a pain not being able to rely 100% that the info in the playbook calendar is correct.

    Hi Aandras.
    I do have multiple calendars, but turning them off and just having the desktop doesn't seem to help.
    I did download the bridge update.
    Funny thing is that events appear in different views.  For example I have an all day event for Friday that appears in the daily view but not the weekly.  Also, the event seems to be there but invisible.  I had an event from 1500 to 1800 on Thursday, visible on my BB but not on the PB.  I then created a new appointment at 1700 on the PB.  The PB reports a conflict with a previous appointment...which is not visible!
    Let me see what happens next week!
