Messages will not work on 2009 21.5 iMac with Yosemite

I have a 2009 iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2 and cannot get messages to work with a good AIM account, any ideas?

In order: No, and I don't know for sure, but strongly suspect no.
Only the 27" models have video input, and things like TV tuner/capture cards are always going to have a lag that is unacceptable for gaming. Even if you had a 27", it wouldn't work very well for use with a game console. I've been there, done that, with just about every possibility you can think of.
For a time I had an Xbox, PS2, and GameCube all connected to a Dell monitor and the sound chained through my computer. It worked, but it was a very convoluted and fragile system. The best thing I ever did was just buy a surround sound receiver and TV for my game consoles.

I just purchased myself an iPad. I set it up and now my messages will not work on it.

I need help restoring my messages to my iPad.

The title of your post says "now my messages will not work".
The text of your post says "need help restoring my messages".
Doesn't make sense.
Is this an iMessage problem or Mail problem?

How do I clear the message usage under settings to open ip more space on my phone? Clearing the actual messages will not work.

How do I clear the messages in order to free up storage space? Just clearing the actual messages will not work!!!

It doesn't sound like the Exchange environment is configured in a manner to support these types of clients very well. Have your Exchange team look at the following
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/10/18/supporting-windows-mail-8-1-in-your-organization.aspx
From the latter article: "Communications applications can connect to a corporate Exchange service
configured to require certificate-based authentication. User authentication certificates can be provisioned to Windows 8.1 devices by administrators or end-users can browse to certificate and install to user certificate storage."
You might want to:
Ask your Exchange team the public URLs (ExternalURL) for Exchange OWA & ActiveSync
Open the OWA URL in your Internet Explorer from your Surface
If you get a Certificate warning, open the certificate and select Install (NOTE: You may have to install the entire certificate chain). Your desktop support team should be able to support this because it is the SAME process for standard Windows 8x
desktops.
Confirm that you can open OWA on your surface with no more certificate or security warnings. NOTE: The Exchange team will have to configured OWA properly.
Once confirmed, repeat the same steps for the activesync URL that they provided.
When done, try using the OWA OR ActiveSync URL value in your settings of your Mail client.
Good Luck

Iphone 4 messaging will not work over phone network

Messages will not download when I am not connected to wifi

I have an iphone 4 and my wife has the one having the problems. Both have the same settings. My 32gb works ok but my wifes 8gb doesn't. Both are with Telstra (carrier)

How come my Wi-Fi network will not work after I updated my iMac to OS X Mavericks?

I just updated the OS on my iMac (late 2009) to OS X Mavericks and now the Wi-Fi network that I had previously set up and used for internet access for my iPad mini and my Nintendo Wii U will not work. It worked fine before with Snow Leopard.

Begin by restarting the computer, if that does not help then do 2-3 SMC and PRAM resets (instructions below) and if those do not work reset your modem and router (I don't care if other devices work) and ensure the Router is has the most up-to-date firmware installed.

HT3529 My iphone 5 updated via t-mobile network. picture messaging will not work, unlocked phone

My phone said that the network needed to update. I did so, and my picture messaging doesn't work. I have an unlocked iphone 5, had it since last fall, I've added the settings in the cellular network before. But now it's different after this update.

I want to know will the phone work in the uk with a uk tmobile or EE sim card or will i need to get the phone unlocked? and if i do need it unlocking does anyone have any good reccomendations?
Thanks

That doesn't sound like you bought it from a legimate source with a receipt from the Apple store.
that sounds like you bought it off a person either thru craiglist or ebay.

Migration Assistant not working between 2009 and 2013 iMacs

Hi,
I'm trying to use Migration assistant to move my stuff from iMac 2009 to my new iMac 2013, but Migration Assistant isn't working.
The two computers are linked. I can open the network (Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server) and browse the old iMac from the new and vice versa. When I start migration assistant the new iMac finds the old iMac straightaway but the old iMac only say, "Looking for other computers" and "make sure your other Mac is connected to this mac or to the same network".
Both computers are open to Migration Assistant.
The share settings are exactly the same on both computers.
They are connected via an Ethernet connection (Wireless didn't work, either).
What can I do?
Thanks,
Both computers are updated with the latest versions of Maverick.

Apple has never built a 2013 Mac mini. The latest version is the Late 2012 Mac mini. I mention that because references to a non-existent model can cause confusion and misunderstanding.
However the TB firewire adaptor is the fastest and easiest way to transfer your accounts and data from one Mac to another. Alternatives include attaching the Time Machine drive from your old computer to the new and use Migration Assistant to restore from the old computer -- it will not overwrite the newer OS if you use Migration Assistant. If you do not have a Time Machine backup, you can clone your old system to an external HD using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper then attach that to the new computer and again use Migration Assistant to effect the actual transfer to the new machine. However, unless you have an external HD of sufficient capacity the $30 TB Firewire adaptor is a lot less expensive.

Messages will not work after lots of troubleshooting - please help

Hello, I'm having difficulty with Messages.

I apologize for the short initial post... I tried to insert images of the issues I am having and the support board deleted my entire message and said "We'll Be Right Back!" LOL
I installed 1Password today, changed my iCloud password, and Messages went kind of bizzarro on my iphone from there. I restored my iPhone and now iMessages works on that little guy again. I'm not successful in getting it to work on the Mac however.
I have tried all the instructions listed by Linc in another post, but was unsuccessful correcting the problem after moving the .plist files, or deleting them
The messages pane is completely empty. The "preferences" and "add account" selections under Messages are greyed out. I was trying to insert an image of that earlier....
Here is everything else I have done:
1. I logged into the guest account, and was able to use Messages without issue
2. I logged completely out of my iCloud account on both my iPhone and the Mac
3. I was successful in logging into FaceTime, but again, Messages is MIA
Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to offer. I will post back shortly with the link to the thread instructions from Linc ASAP

Curve 9360 custom sound alerts for messages will not work. Tried EVERYTHING.

I have a brand spanking new BlackBerry Curve 9360 that just arrived yesterday. It is great apart from this very frustrating small prob. I can not customise my message alerts for individual people in my address book. When I click on "try it" only the LED button flashes and there is no sound or vibration. I am trying to get the sound and vibrate to play as "active profile" but it just won't. I can override it and have custom volume and vibrate that plays no matter what the profile but as I sometimes like to set my main profile to vibrate or silent, it won't do.
So far, to fix it, I have tried:
Wiping profile and sounds from the blackberry software
Full factory reset
Creating my own profile and using that instead of "normal" or any of the other preset ones
Loads of battery pulls before and/or after any changes
I have also had a few different people text me to make sure the problem isn't just the "try it" feature. It isn't. The sound that plays is always the default message sound for whatever the default profile is.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated
Deb

I have also experienced exactly the same problem.
The profile is set on normal, with the ringer volume on 10, the ring tone has been selected, and I have also selected the option of the vibrator along with the ring tone.
Now here is the problem, initially it rings and works perfectly, however it seems to automatically turn off the volume so the LED light keeps flashing, however there is not ring tone or vibration.
If you select the "normal" profile or any other profile and change the ring tone or the volume, and click on the try it icon at the bottom, it still only flashes the LED, with no sound.
Have tried everything that you have mentioned in your email, however still unable to rectify the issue. the only way to rectify is it to hard stop the BB, by pulling out the battery and restarting the Blackberry.
Can anyone help or suggest what needs to be done ?

Nokia messaging will not work with PLUSNET account...

I signed up with one of my PLUSNET accounts, and that worked just fine.
Tried to add another, giving the login of ACCOUNT+ID as well as e-mail address and password.
Nokia messaging keeps telling me "Unable to connect with the information provided"
Frustratiing!! It works fine if I use another account not from PLUSNET
So, tried deleting the first account and re-adding it (since Nokia Messaging had accepted if first time).
Result - Nokia messaging won't add even the account that did work to begin with, and keeps replying "Unable to connect with the information provided"
There's obviously a bug here. Anyone else found this, or better still found it and fixed it??

I haven't tried adding two PN accounts, but I did find it failed at first and I had to then adjust the account name it was trying to log in under as it tries to use the name portion from the email address as the account name (not always the same). I should think for futher PN mailboxes if they are under the same account, you need to do likewise and change the account name to login under. You have to let it fail first to change it though.
Also, it defaults to POP3 settings, so I changed it to IMAP, though I don't think I can get access to IMAP folders so probably not much benefit.

My i message will not work for only one contact the rest will

my iphone will send i messages to everyone else but one

iWork '09 is still available from the likes of Amazon.
Your experience is why I never trusted downloaded versions when there's a physical DVD available.
It may be possible to reactivate with your code, but I can't advise you as to how.

Facetime and messages will not work

Cannot connect to facetime or messages on iPad. I put in password and it says to check network connection which is fine on other devices.

I'm not sure how a functioning network connection on a DIFFERENT device has anything to do with your iPad. Be sure the iPad is connected to either a cellular or WiFi connection.
Are you able to browse the Internet with Safari or another browser? Can you send and receive email?

Netboot will not working, getting globe, then flashing folder with question mark.

I just created a netboot image which went off without any problems. I copied the two .nbi folders to my NetBootSP0 folder, and enabled them within netboot. My OS X server which is my netboot server and dhcp server. When I boot using N or Option N, I get the flashing globe for several seconds, the request goes through to the server and gets ACK {SELECT} however a few more seconds after, I get the flashing folder and question mark before it does a normal boot. I have read the other posts about DHCP and Subnets. My server and and clients are all 255.255.0.0. Any suggestions would be very helpful as I need this to work for several buildings.

This might work for some:
I had the same problem of the netboot image not mounting/opening, spinning globe then booting back to the Mac HD on the client and it was only when I remembered that we had manually experimented with jumbo frame rates and the MTU settings for our 32TB RAID in the Hardware settings for Ethernet ports on our servers. I turned the settings back to "Automatic" and 1000baseT on, then the whole NetInstall and Neboot was working perfectly again.

My quicktime does not work at all on my iMac with Lion

When I click the quicktime icon it does not open up at all. Quicktime has never worked since the day I bought the computer which was a few weeks ago. Is there a fix to this problem?
