Messages on MBPr shows "iMessage inactive" - help?

I've read through the threads, removed plist, etc etc.
Messages is happy with Bonjour and Google. I can log into iCloud and my appleID account just fine.
This MBPr (Mavericks 10.9.2) had a nuke-and-reinstall 10 days ago. The first time I tried to use Messages since that auspicious event was Monday.
But nothing will get Message to work on my MBPr. (Happy as a clam on my phone and iPad.)
This is the Preferences > Accounts window:
Eventually, I let the spinning wheel spin long enough that I was greeted with an error message:
I'm connected. FiOS.
A few clicks of the "OK" button and I had a pswd field that would let me type.
This felt like I was moving up in the world - but being able to type in the pswd didn't fix anything.
So I tried changing from @mac.com to @me.com. That yielded a new error message:
It took several clicks of the "ok" button for the popup to go away, so I could try the gmail address associated with my account. No joy.
So I went back to my mac.com address (the primary one on the account) and I went back to error message #1.
OK, Ralph, work your magic. ;-)

Hey!
Open Messages > Preferences > General Section and set it to "When I Quit, Set My Status to Off line"That was my status
Open FaceTime > Preferences and set it to Off.FT won't log in either. Spinning beach ball of death then the same "could not sign in check network connection" mess.
In the right hand pane find the IDS: yourAppleID-Auth Token item and delete it.MBP hasn't been preserving this pswd - I have to login to every Apple Thing every time.
There should be one called com.apple.facetime: registrationV1 Delete this as well.Couldn't log in (see above) but deleted.
In the Preferences folder find the following.I assume you want me to delete all of those items!
Going to reboot now.
Back.
Yes, I had to input Apple ID as well as pswd on Messages app.
OH! It says I'm signed in (Preferences > general)
And I can start a message to a friend in contacts!
Success! Thank you!
PS - fixed FaceTime app as well.

At the bottom of the page Settings > Messages you should have a section headed "SMS/MMS" Turn MMS messaging on then you can turn group message on.

Why does the messaging app take so much space (5.6??) Also when I try to delete messages, it still shows 5.6. help me!

Hi,
I have barely any space left on my phone. ios7 messaging app takes so much space. How can I stop this?

Your phone needs more storage, buying storage on iCloud.com doesn't change that.
Delete some of the stuff off of your phone, it's full.

I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.

Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead? Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

Where is the phone number on the iPod?
If you have an iPhone with iOS and use the same ID for Messages and FaceTime as on the iPod the iPhone's phone number will be listed for Messages and FaceTime on the iPod.
If you changed phone numbers on the iPhone, sign out of Messages and FaceTime and then sing back in. Then do the same a little while later on the iPod.
For some info see:
iOS: About Messages

I was trying to use imessage to share a photo with iPhoto. I go the message "couldn't communicate with a helper application"
My iMessage works fine for everything else. I am currently running yosemite and every app has been updated.

Are you getting that message window after clicking on the "+" button to access your Contacts?
That's what happens to me. I know of now way to fix it.
My workaround is to create a new message in Messages and drag the photo from the iPhoto window into the message section of a new message and use the "+" button there to get the address to use

My partner used to have an iphone but changed to samsung now anytime i go to text him he is not getting my messages as its showing up as imessage can you advise me on what to do please ?

My partner used to have an iphone but changed to samsung now anytime i go to text him he is not getting my messages as its showing up as imessage can you advise me on what to do please ? i have already reset my phone but this hasnt worked

If your partner registered his iPhone under his support profile, he could try to login & remove the iPhone. This will stop your iMessage problem. Do so here: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
The other thing your partner could try is to insert his sim into an iPhone and turn off iMessage there but this maybe a little more difficult if his Samsung doesn't use a MicrSIM.

I don't have a 3G so i use Sms/Mms messaging when i have wifi. My co'iphone users receive my text messages but i cant receive theirs because it sends as an imessage. HELP thanks

I Don't have a 3G on my iphone 4. So when i dont have a wifi, i send text through SMS/MMS messaging. I can receive and send SMS/MMS messages to non iphone users. I can also send the same messages to my co iphone users but i cant receive theirs because it sends as imessage. someone help me pls. Thnks

The only way to get around that, since you do not have a data plan, is to completely disable iMessage. While you can turn on the switch for Send As SMS on, which could send your messages as SMS when not connected to Wi-Fi and data is not turned on, it could also find your messages lost in the server and never delivered. Also, anyone sending to you would have to be set up the same way. You can check out this support document for deactivating iMessage. iOS: Deactivating iMessage
iMessage requires an active data connection for both the sender and receiver to work properly.

What do you mean he chose his and your number during setup. Chose them for what? Is you number showing up in the Settings>Messages>"You can be reached by imessage at" section? If it is he needs to remove it.

Messages folder only shows e-mails not SMS messages.

Hi I have just changed from a pearl to a Curve 8900 and I am having a little trouble in getting the same functuionality.
My messages folder only shows the e-mails I have sent and received and not the SMS or MMS messages that I have sent and received. This means that when I receive a SMS/MMS I have to go into the main Blackberry screen and scroll to the 'SMS And MMS' icon but I feel that I should be able to access sent/received SMS messages from the 'Messages' icon on the home screen. I can create SMS messages from the 'Messages' icon but they don't stay there after they have been sent.
I may have explained this rather poorly but any help would be aprreciated. The only thing I have done to try a fix this is pull the battery but to no avail.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
On the Blackberry go to the main message queue, menu, options, general options.
Scroll to SMS and Email in boxes, select combined. Now SMS will show up in the main queue
(You described it just fine!)
Thanks,

Many thanks for any help.

At the bottom of the left New Message box, you can change it there.

Windows 7 32 bits
I had the same issue which is now solved. For your information, the following procedure was successful:
Check permissions within the Installer folder. To do this, follow these steps.
1. Click on Start and in the Start Search bar > type in > c: /windows/installer.
2. Right click on c: /windows/installer at the top under programs and click properties.
3. Click on the security tab > Verify if System and Administrator account has Full access permissions.
Note : I ran into problem with locating the C:\windows\installer directory. For some reason Windows Explorer wouldn't show it even though I don't have it hidden. I ended up using the ExplorerXP application to locate the directory. ExplorerXP is available at http://www.explorerxp.com/

Warning messages didn't show up

Hello,
I am trying to implement modification, that posting in transaction VL02N will display warning message when budget is exceeded. Solution is attached to Note 985734 and described in Note 447102:
"However, if you use transactions MIGO, MB1A, VL01, VL01N, VL02 or VL02N to carry out postings, the CO checks run.
However, the posting is only then interrupted if the system issues error messages. In this case, all warning and error messages, in particular those of the availability control, are logged.
If the system does not issue any error message during the posting, but issues an availability control warning message, which is linked with an e-mail to the person responsible (this conforms to action 2 in the definition of the tolerance limit of the availability control), the posting is not interrupted as described above and the system does not issue an availability control warning message. However, an e-mail is sent to the person responsible."
I slightly modified the modification to include transaction VL02N and my problem is that after statement MESSAGE is executed, the message don't come up and the program flow continues and I don't understand why. Here's a link to youtube with my debugger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7aB0pzjLgs
Could someone explain me why the warning message didn't show up, please?
Thanks,
Pavel Kraxner
P.S. In the end of the video is a comment in notepad that error messages are working OK, which is correct, but they are executed at different place (AC_DOCUMENT_CREATE returns sy-subrc = 1 in contrary to Warning messages) .. on that particular place any message didn't show up and I don't know why..

there is probably a place where there is a CALL FUNCTION ... EXCEPTIONS error_message = ...
If any message is sent inside the function module (or in one of its called procedures, at any level), then these messages are ignored. That's explained in [sap library|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/9f/dbaa0635c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm].
To check that, look at all the function modules which are displayed in the abap stack (in the debugger), and check how they are called.
