Messages won't display unread count

Since the last update the unread count on the icon will not display. Anyone have any ideas? It's turned on in the notifications centre.

Hi,
That does seem odd.
I mentioned the Containers things as this is the Read and Write route that the app uses (normally to the aliases in the /Data/Library/Preferences that pints to ~/library/Preferences)
I also looked in those places but for IDS, SOAgent and IMAgent that are also involved but no luck.
On your Console Location for the Var Stuff I have this
See Path Bar across bottom. This pic of Dec 1st I had to open in Preview.
A Different view if it helps
I am not sure what to suggest at this point.

  • Messages won't display images, sandbox violation?

    Can anyone help me figure out why, when I receive an iMessage that contains a photo or other image, Messages on Yosemite won't display the image? It appears to be a sandbox permissions issue, but I can't figure out how to resolve it.
    Briefly, when I receive an iMessage that contains any image, the image displays just fine on my iOS devices, but in OS X Yosemite (10.10.1, build 14B25), it just shows up as a generic icon (attached at the bottom of this question). Clicking the icon or magnifying glass doesn't load it, double-clicking it doesn't load it, Quick View won't show it... nothing. If I look in /var/logs/system.log, any attempt to view it generates sandbox-related errors:
    Messages[30820]: [Warning] Transfer: unable to create image for IMG_2758.JPG.jpeg
    kernel[0]: Sandbox: Messages(30820) deny file-read-data /private/var/folders/7l/cn4n4k4n4p31ncqq9qqk1klrydkmkm/T/IMG_2758.JPG.jpeg
    If I manually open up that directory (/private/var/folders/7l/cn4n4k4n4p31ncqq9qqk1klrydkmkm/T/) I can see the image and open it myself, but Messages can't do it... and I can't for the life of me figure out how Messages's sandbox is configured and what is going on here.
    This all happened when I upgraded to Yosemite; prior to Yosemite, everything worked fine. I've tried to blow away /private/var/folders/7l/ and let it get rebuilt, to no avail. I've also hunted for Messages's sandbox config file, to no avail.
    Help?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Mail Messages won't display on iphone 4

    I have a .mac and a gmail account set up on my phone. I can see the messages in my inbox for all accounts but the individual emails won't display when I go to read them, the message portion of the email is blank. I can see the "from" an "to" and just the message is missing! Any thoughts?

    Rebooting the phone seems to have solved this for the time being. I will let everyone know if it recurs.

  • Safari 4 tabs do not display unread counts for GMail and Google Reader

    To reproduce this, do the following:
    1. Create a bookmark for either GMail or Google Reader
    2. Click on the bookmark under Safari to load either site (make sure it has at least on unread item)
    The text in the tab title will not display the unread count. Instead, it displays either "GMail" or "Google Reader". Firefox displays the unread counts for both sites in the tab's title text as follows: "Gmail - Inbox(2) - <email addr>", "Google Reader (2)".
    This is the one of the main reasons why I will continue to use Firefox over Safari 4. Displaying the unread counts in the tab titles allows me quickly glance at the browser's window with both sites loaded in separate tabs to see if there are any unread items.

    I was able to fix the problem by disabling Gmail Labs (you can always reenable them again).
    http://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0.
    Or go to Settings-Labs and you'll notice a link at the very top asking you if you want to kill all the labs if it breaks something on gmail...there's an escape hatch.

  • Random messages won't display in Mail

    Hi,
    Using Mail 2.0.8 on a MacBook Pro 2GHz running Mac OS X 10.4.5.
    Main account is set-up as IMAP. Recently, I began noticing that some messages will not display in Mail, nor will they be marked as read. The message shown in the preview pane is:
    The message from <sender> <sender email> concerning “subject” has not > been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in > order to download it.
    However, the account is online. All other messages received at the same time display properly. There are no characteristics common among or unique to messages that behave like this, at least as far as I can discern. Ultimately, without any specific actions, the messages will display properly.
    If I go to my webmail account and read the message, Mail will update soon after to show that it has been read. So clearly the account is online, as Mail can send and receive commands to set the status. Still, the message will not display.
    Has anyone experienced similar behavior, and have you found a solution?
    Thanks!
    Patrick

    Ernie, David, et al,
    Perhaps I spoke too soon. I continue to have the same problem with Mail and my IMAP accounts, which are advancing beyond annoying. I am now considering moving to another email application, which is something I really don't want to do. Following is a brief update:
    * After moving the Mail folder and plist file to my desktop, restarting Mail and entering my accounts again, it worked properly for a short period of time. The behavior reappeared soon thereafter. (I had mboxes on my Mac, not on the server, and for some reason I cannot import them again).
    * I have a bad habit of using my email as a file system, so my inbox was huge. So I took the time to create a bunch of mboxes, file messages, and otherwise clean my inbox. It's now 1/4 the size it was. I'm also trying to habitualize dealing with email and attachments to either file or delete messsages when the come in (so far, so good).
    * When I get a message that exhibits this behavior, I can now Rebuild the mailbox and the message will show. Rebuild occurs quickly because my mailbox is so much smaller, and I've not lost any messages. The messages that previously would not display at all now display properly. However, I must Rebuild every time I receive a message of this type, which occurs several times per day.
    * It appears that messages with attachments display properly, but those without do not. It also appears to be highly likely that all the messages originate from an Exchange Server (I know this to be true of several clients, and others are very likely). I also know for a fact that many that I receive properly are not using Exchange Server.
    * Calendar invitations from Notes work as intended (show up in Mail as ICS files, notifications appear in iCal which allow me to set my status and reply); however, those from Exchange Server only show as text messages (and don't display until I rebuild).
    It appears to me that the problem may lie, at least in my case, to how Mail handles Exchange Server items in IMAP mode, and not just an IMAP bug, but again, I cannot isolate this and be 100% certain.
    Will keep you posted.

  • My email messages won't display. The preview shows but when I enter the mail it is completly blank

    My email messages have stopped displaying in both my mail accounts. I can see a preview but when I enter the individual mail the screen is blank. Not even the preview text is displayed. I have not changed any settings. Does anyone know how to resolve this.

    Reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.

  • RSS - Safari won't update unread count as articles are read

    When I installed 10.5 yesterday a lot of old RSS articles showed as unread. After selecting each feed the unread counts were properly updated. Today a new article appeared in one feed, however no matter how many times I read that article it still shows as unread.

    While this seems to be more of a work-around than a solution, try this and see if it works for you, it clears it up for me when I run into this issue.
    Close Safari.
    Navigate to YourUsernameHere/Library/PubSub ( denoted as ~/Library/PubSub)
    Copy the Feeds folder to your desktop [option-drag] (just making a backup here for good computing practice), then throw the contents of the Feeds folder in the trash.
    Empty the trash and restart Safari and see if your counts are right.
    Like I said, you may have to go back and do this occasionally, but at least it works for a while.
    Hope this helps.

  • Ipad mail.app won't display unread msgs in subfolders on IMAP server

    Mail.app on my MBP (Snow Lion) reads all the unread messages (using a smart mailbox) in the sub-folders on the IMAP server I use (shared hosting).
    Mail.app on my iPad 3 (and Sparrow too for that matter) will not display All Unread Messages (my caps, as an example). If I tunnel down into a sub-folder it displays them correctly with the Unread flag but there appears to be no equivalent of the Smart Mailbox Unread Mail in mail.app SL on the iPad.
    Have I missed something or does this capacity not exist in iPad's Mail.app?

  • IPhone Messages won't display pictures after clicking on thumbnail.

    On iOS6 either sending or recieving a picture in messages will yield a thumbnail in the thread view, but if you click on it instead of the full image being displayed it says "Loading..." then never shows the image.

    Just do a hard reset. Hold your power button and home button at the same time until you see the Apple symbol. Then let go and let iOS reboot. It should be fixed after that.

  • After update to OSX, cannot scroll in Mail, messages won't display

    My mailbox will not allow me to scroll through my messages. I must click on a message and use the up or down arrow keys.
    Also, the short display works, but the message doesn't show over to the right. Sometimes I can click on the message and it will display in a new window, but sometimes it does not, only the headers.
    Any help would be apreciated.

    Rebooting the phone seems to have solved this for the time being. I will let everyone know if it recurs.

  • Standard Forms messages won't display

    I developed 6i forms using the standard template on Oracle 11.5.4. When I run the form within Apps 11i environment I cannot get the standard messages to display.
    example: '1 record(s) saved'
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Phil

    Thanks for your reply. I put the form module property - console window to my root window which is 'BLOCKNAME' and now receive the error:
    FRM 47023 Error Parameter G_Query_Find Not Found
    I am not passing parameters to this form. This is a dumb form, that is, it only queries and updates the detail block called BLOCKNAME.
    Any Ideas???

  • Text message won't display name

    I just bought an iPhone 4s this weekend.  I upgraded from a 3G. The transition seemed to go smoothly.  I hooked it up to my iMac and iTunes transferred everything over, apps, documents, contacts, photos, music, etc.  Seemed to go off without a hitch.  My 3G would show the name of the sender of a text or a phone call if that person was in my contacts.  My new iPhone 4S won't.  I would really like to get this set up again.  When the phone rings, if the person is in my contacts, the name shows in the banner.  But when I go to recent calls list, it just shows as a number.  So if I want to call back, there is no name.  Same with the text.  There is no name so I don't know who I am getting a text from or texting back to unless I can recognize the number.  I am so used to my 3G that I no longer recognize the numbers.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Error messages won't display - Captivate 3

    My slides have click boxes with errors attached. Error options are set to Pause for Failure caption.
    Click box is postioned on the TOP of the timeline, and should be active, with a caption too, once the voiceover finishes.
    Caption and click box displays but when I intentionally click elsewhere the error will not display.
    Blue buttons in the RHS panel execute javascript but have no pause and no options defined for them except display for rest of slide.
    Appreciate any suggestions thanks.

    No answers here and I am wondering why. I have read past discussions about "Failure captions not displaying" and have noted all
    the suggestions but still have not been able to get them working.
    Click box is the uppermost (top) item in the timeline...and they are positioned after the slide voiceover so I would have thought there was sufficient time for them to become active.
    Getting a little desperate about how to fix this.
    Happy to try anything.
    Regards

  • Unread counts on "rules" destination folders not updating

    Since I installed Leopard a few days ago I have a minor mail (3.1) issue. I use "rules" to distribute the mail to specified folders as it comes into the in box. The minor problem is that the unread counts on the destination folders is not always updating until they are clicked on. Anyone else see this? Normal? Fixable?

    I've been having the same problem ever since I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard -- new mail messages that are directed to IMAP mailboxes via rules don't always change the unread mail count of the mailbox until I switch to that mailbox.
    These are some of the steps I've taken to try and narrow the problem:
    + Disabled the use of the IDLE command (I'm not sure if my dovecot version 0.99.11 IMAP server supports it or not). Didn't seem to affect the problem.
    + Added a new rule (seemed to work okay -- unread count increased when mail was delivered to the mailbox). Since the problem seems more or less intermittent I'm not sure if this proves anything.
    + Removed old rules and replaced them with new rules that do the same thing. Still intermittent.
    + Tried clicking the "Get new mail in all accounts button", and it didn't update the unread count.
    A theory:
    + Some of these mailboxes are rather large. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. I've noticed that the "waiting" icon is displayed for about 5 seconds on one of the mailboxes.
    An oddity:
    + When I'm sitting here and an email message arrives and is moved to a mailbox via a rule, I hear the new mail sound, so I know the Mail application at some level is aware of this new message, but the mailbox unread count doesn't change until I switch to the mailbox.
    Some configuration information:
    + IMAP server (dovecot 0.99.11). Remained constant when I switched from Tiger to Leopard.
    + I leave all of my mail in mailboxes on the server.
    + I did have one interesting thing happen during the Tiger to Leopard upgrade that might be relevant -- after the upgrade, I had two "IMAP Account"s each with a copy of all of the mailboxes that are on the server. I'm guessing this somehow happened because I use either direct LAN access or ssh-tunnel access (when I'm on the road) and switch the name (and IP address) of the server as appropriate. Somehow this gave me two identically named accounts during the upgrade (one of the incoming mail servers was "ssh-tunnel" which is the host name I use for the ssh tunnel). I managed to remove one of them, but all of the mailbox settings in my rules disappeared and needed to be re-added.
    Any suggestions are welcome -- it's not fun "polling" mailboxes to see if someone has sent you mail and is awaiting a response!

  • My iPhone 4s won't display my contact names in my message, although the number is still linked to the correct contact in my phone book

    My iPhone 4s won't display my contact names in my message, although the number is still linked to the correct contact in my phone book.
    Recently updated with iOS 5.1.1, I've read elsewhere about a possible bug associated with the update?

    Hello, Sue.Darby. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would recommend having your friend check to see if call and message blocking is enabled on their end.  Here is some information regarding that feature.
