Messages on Mac "Cannot be sent"

I have been happily using Messages on my Mac, iPhone, and iPad for a while. Earlier this year, Messages on the Mac stopped being able to send, giving the following message:
I've tried to log out of the iMessage account, I've tried to reset accounts on the Mac, etc. All to no avail. Messages continue to work on both my iPhone and my iPad Mini (wifi only). Help!
Mac OS X 10.9.3

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

  • I recently undated to Firefox 8. When I try to attach a file using yahoo mail I get a message that file cannot be sent. I don't have a problem on Explorer

    When I use firefox I cannot attach a file to my outgoing yahoo e-mail. I do not have this problem when I use Explorer. This seems to have started when I updated to Firefox 8.0

    Are you trying to open the online document, or are you downloading it to your local disk first.  What is the exact message you get?

  • This Mac cannot make connection with iCloud ...

    HELLO.
    The moment I start/open Mail, Mail shows a message (translated from Dutch):
    "This Mac cannot make connection with iCloud because of a problem with <my-account>@mac.com. Open iCloud-preferences to solve this problem."
    And it shows 2 buttons: [Later] and [iCloud-preferences].
    Pushing [Later] results in the same message (this is a loop).
    Pushing [iCloud-preferences] results in the opening of "System-preferences" ... but I cannot find what is wrong.
    Because the message comes again and again it is not possible to write and/or read a e-mailmessage.
    I can open <www.icloud.com> and I can send messages with <www.icloud.com>. My Mac syncs also addresses, notes, etc.. without problems ... so my accountname and password are correct.
    Please: tell me what I have to do.
    John, The Netherlands.

    HELLO AGAIN.
    The problem with the popup-message "This Mac cannot ..." still exists.
    The anoying thing is that I cannot do anything with Mail ... the popup-message appears again and again.
    I've read all the advises and followed them ...
    Systempreferences / InternetAccounts: I cannot remove my iCloud-account (** [MESSAGE] **)
    Systempreferences / iCloud: I cannot remove the "V" off Mail
    Systempreferences / iCloud: I cannot log out (** [MESSAGE] **).
    My username (ending at @mac.com) is correct.
    My password (XXXXX) is correct.
    I can access iCloud.com (Mail, Addresses, ...).
    I can access this support-pages.
    My iPhone recieves and sends messages.
    The [** MESSAGE **] is (translated from Dutch): 'Your iCloud-account cannot be removed. Mail cannot remove <account>@icloud.com. Start Mail again en logout again at iCloud."
    Question. Makes it any difference that I use accountnames ending on "mac.com", "me.com" and/or "icloud.com"?
    Please ... tell me what I have to do!

  • 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.

  • "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

    Had a recent crash on my macbook, was previously using OS 10.6 I think. Restored from recent Time Machine backup and updated to OS 10.8.2 and now I cannot open Logic Pro 9. I get a 'No entry' Icon and a not supported on this type of Mac message. I cannot update either as anything up to 9.1.1 tells me I don't need it yet 9.1.2 tells me I need an eligable Logic Pro Version was not found in applications.
    All of my files are stored in a separate hard drive with only the actual app having been on my Macbook. Should I just reinstall?

    Hi
    To run Mouitain Lion you need to update Logic.
    For the updaters to work the Logic application must be:
    a) Within the Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder
    b) Named "Logic Pro" with no extra numbers or spaces

  • I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

    I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

    Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder?  I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
    You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder.  Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks.  I suspect that will work.
    With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages.  If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

    iOS 6 (which runs on the iPhone 5) requires iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
    Upgrade OS X on your Mac.

  • HT4623 When connecting my iphone to my computer, message appears: iphone cannot be used because itunes needs to be updated.  I updated on my Mac, but it isn't transferring to my phone.  Tried looking at software updates on my phone - "no updates needed"

    Okay, that means with the latest iOS software, it requires the latest version of iTunes on the computer. Which computer OS platform are you using. Now you are saying that after downloading the latest version of iTunes that your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes? Completely different thing, and the iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with that anyway. The iTunes on the iPhone is just for purchases.
    If you are having trouble with the iPhone being recognized by iTunes, use the appropriate link for your computer OS for assistance.

    You can try to repair the permissions for the Firefox application files and folders.
    You can also do this:
    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Just wondering why an email or text message cannot be sent to prepaid customers to let us know when another card is needed. Straight talk does this a week in advance. Thanks

    JJust wondering why an email or text message cannot be sent to prepaid customers to let them know another card is needed in order to keep their service? Other carriers do this

    Perhaps you can sign into your MyVerizon account online and see if the options are available, but not turned on.

  • The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.

    Hi,
    I have SP 2013, and it was working properly. and workflows send emails perfectly. yesterday, i decided to build a fresh site collection so i deleted the old one and created a new one. now, workflows are unable to send emails. i'm sure it has nothing to do
    with my mail server cuz no changes happened to it. i'm sure about the settings for outgoing mail on central admin. all i did, was to enter mail server IP in outgoing mail field and email below it.
    in the workflow status the status says "error" followed by this message: "The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly."
    Any help please?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to send email after building a fresh site collection.
    I recommend to verify that you have entered your SMTP server name correctly.
    You can add it as FQDN e.g. ServerName.DomainName.

  • The email message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing email settings for the server are configured properly

    i have an issue when loading a workflow. it gives me a following error "The email message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing email settings for the server are configured properly". it doesnt send me any alerts and worlflow fails at the end
    with the above error message.

    Hi,
    I agree with Bistesh. But after Outgoing e-mail settings are configured properly, if the issue still exists,
    It may result from your Anti-Virus. Please refer to the following steps:
    Open MCAfee Console and go to Access Protection window.
    Click Anti-Virus Standard Protection and edit “prevent mass mailing 
    worms from sending emails” rule.
    Now we need to know which processes are being blocked therefore we need to check the MCAfee Log located at
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\McAfee\DesktopProtection\AccessProtectionLog.txt
    you may find entries of DtExec , DtExecUI and DatabaseMail90, now these processes need to be entered in the exclusion list of selected rule .
    Reset the IIS And SharePoint Timer service to check if this works for you.

  • Change B2B error message: "Error in R/3 system: document cannot be sent"

    Hi experts!!
    I had the requirement the B2B user not to be able to change orders from the past days.
    I wrote some ABAP code in MV45AFZZ user exit and the functionality works fine! I even receive my custom error message in the B2B but before my message i also get "Error in R/3 system: document cannot be sent. Call our hotline.."
    Is there anyway i can change this standard message in JAVA side???
    Thank you in advance!!

    In the ABAP side, set break point in BAPI_SALESORDER_SIMULATE and check the BAPIRETURN table.. Depending upon the stage and action on the order, the other RFCs you might focus on are SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE  or SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CHANGE. The return structure is BAPIRET2 for this set of RFC.
    You might remove the "unwanted messages here.. or let them flow into the Java layer and tackle them there. That will require you to extend different xxxxStrategyR3 classes and overwrite certain methods in certain classes. The development is NOT streamlined here.
    Read the classes CreateStrategyR3 - there is a method performCustExitAfterR3SimulateCall  
    in ReadStrategyR3 - there is a method called replaceR3MessageTexts and in change..
    in ChangeStrategyR3 - there is a method called performCustExitAfterR3Call
    In all these places you have to read the appropriate table that contains the message and remove it. See ReadStrategyR3~replaceR3MessageTexts for some idea..
