Messages OS X 10.9.5 - Your Message Could Not Be Sent Error

Over the last month Messages has begun giving me the following error:
"Your message could not be sent.
Click "Try Again" to send this message"
When I restart my computer it works for a short period of time and then begins delivering the same message. Any advice on how to troubleshoot and fix this problem so that I won't have to reboot my Mac all the time to use this service?
Thanks.

Hi,
Are you sure you are maintaining an Internet Connection ?
If you have not Enabled the Bonjour Account in Messages and the iMessages account is the only one then Enable the Bonjour account (Even if you have no other Macs)
Then go to the Window Menu and Select the option to bring the Buddy List(s) into view.
Do these "close" similar to this ?
It may read "Disconnected" if it was connected and had "failed" since.

  • Your request could not be completed error on the iPhone

    Hi,
    Since yesterday, without having changed anything on my iPhone 4S, when trying to go to the FEATURED apps on my iphone, I get the YOUR REQUEST COULD NOT BE COMPLETED error. All other tabs (top 25, search, updates, categories etc...) work. Only the FEATURED tab does not.
    Apple genious bar says it's the carrier job to support. Carrier is not avaialble...
    Have looked into the forum already and tried all the reset settings, ON, and OFF iPhone, login out and in with Apple ID for App Store etc... no luck.
    Any idea please?
    Thx
    JP.

    Log out appstore, log in with US acc, open appstore, featured is fine. Back to setting, log out d US acc, login back with your original ID. Work with mine

    I use Toshiba Detection Tool to find drivers quickly for my tecra, but for a month now the page gives this error
    Your product could not be found
    It is no problem to select my laptop from the drop down list again and again, but it was comfortable, when it worked.
    Is there a solution for this problem?

    No, there is a Detection tool an exe file. "TOSHIBA-detector,exe" You run it and it opens a browser with your exact product's driver psge. (My Toshiba laptop is a european one.)

  • "Your disk could not be partitioned" error in bootcamp

    I'm attempting to load Windows 7 home premium 64-bit on an early 2011 15" MBP with Bootcamp 5.0.2 and am getting the error "Your disk could not be partitioned. An error occurred while partitioning disk." No other information leads me to understand the problem. Does anyone know anything about this error?
    I have a brand new hard drive from apple after the old one failed, a new logic board and trackpad, so i doubt that it is a hardware issue.

    Backup your drive, erase your drive, restore your backup. Then partition for Boot Camp.

  • 'Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed' Error

    Hi,
    I get this error maybe for 20th time. Last time I send an e-mail to support and they fix it. But now It’s happening again. Some of support team members say something about terms&conditions, some of just fix it. How can I remove that error completely? I’m tired of sending e-mails before my purchases. Please help me, I need permanent solution.
    I get that error on my iPad and Macbook, but not on my iPhone. I make purchases with my iPhone without any problem. What’s the reason of this?
    Thank you.

    We are fellow users, we won't know why you are getting the message, only iTunes Support might know and be able to stop it reappearing/.
    If store's terms of use have been mentioned then you haven't, and aren't, tried to access another country's store when not in that country ? One of the store's terms is that you have to be in a country to use its store.

    If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
    Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
    Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
    If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
    reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
    If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
    To fix this
    BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."

    I been trying for a few times now and I keep getting the same message. How can i fix it? now my phone doesnt work.

    These are the steps mentioned in the article iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
    Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
