My macbook pro's messages application won't send/receive messages.

I made a new account because it wouldn't let me log in on my old account and now it seems as if it's working but it won't send or receive ANY messages. This application used to work so I don't understand.

Hi,
I agree with Diane, we need to exclude the app as a whole or just you user settings.
Running Messages in a "test' Mac User Account will tell us that.

LG G3 suddenly won't send/receive messages?

I had just received this phone today via delivery (brand new through Amazon). For the first few minutes it was great - easy set up, able to send a few messages to my family about the new phone when suddenly (having literally only sent three messages prior) it stopped sending/receiving altogether. Messages sent will stay in a sending loop seemingly forever before saying it's failed. I've done every type of reset known (soft, factory, even opening up in safe mode) to no avail. I haven't downloaded any apps yet, so I know that's not the case...
Any ideas on what I can do?
(I'm also using the typical messenger app, not hangouts or messenger+. I did switch between the three to see if that would help at all, but I still ended up with nothing.)

Wow - shortly after posting this I received a message (strange considering the fact that I really COULDN'T) from Verizon stating that this number does not have permission to send messages. Please consult the account manager to make changes (or something along those lines (which makes it even more bizarre considering I am the account manager...)). After prodding my Verizon account for a bit, I clicked on 'change features' option and after checking and unchecking certain items I somehow managed to get it all to work.
Welp, that would explain why that endless torment of resets hadn't worked then I suppose.

Tech transferred all files from MacBook Pro to new Mac Air but I received message that Photoshop Elements 9 is not valid on new computer.

How do I use Photoshop Elements 9 on new computer? Message said program was no longer valid.

Reinstall it properly.

Mac Messages app won't send text message when in a group message

When I'm in a group message with an iphone user and an android user it always sends as an iMessage, and the android user never gets the message. Even when it says "Text Message" in the text box it still sends as an imessage. This sometimes happens on my iPhone, but not every time. When I message the android user separately on my mac it sends as a text. I've never been able to send a text in a group message on my mac though. I have to end up sending messages separately to the android user. The android user used to have an iPhone, but I've checked his phone number on this website https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage and it says his phone number isn't registered to iMessage. He's also said he removed his phone number from his iPad. What could be causing this?

Hi,
If you add a Land Line number to your own Address Card in Contacts (Card Menu > My Card) and then type your name in to the "To" spot in Messages on the Mac you will see the Land Line also listed as a potential iMessages contact number.
That is to say until it contacts any number the number involved will show a greyed out iMessages listing next to it.
For this Screen Grab I somewhat forced the issue to isolate my Land Line.
In the top bar it is listed as a potential iMessages contact.
As I have pressed enter it has gone a stage further and told me it is not Registered.
Whilst iMessages contacts that have worked are marked with a blue Speech Bubble for iMessages SMS/text ones have a green Indicator that says Text (as opposed to the AIM or Jabber or Yahoo listed ones)
A less forced one
An iPhone is listed first.
The options are then the Land Line and then two email addresses both of which have been used before.
I too have noticed that trying to send an SMS text messages to a Number does not seem selectable on the Mac version (Click and hold and "Send as SMS" is not an option)
Hopefully this can be set up so the app can recognise Non iPhones in some way.
I have yet to find a way to start an SMS conversation from the Mac.

My 10.6.8 macbook pro's DVD player won't play a movie from Netflix. The DVD does play on a 10.5 mb pro. So DVD is ok. Message says "not permitted" when I click play. Is there a compatibility issue? Or something else?

Hello:
This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

Cannot boot my MacBook Pro. Tryed CMD+R, reinstall OS, error message :damaged HD. When trying to repait it says it's OK. Yesterday HD wasn't even half full when I turned it off, now it says it's full.

What may have happened is an error and a kernel panic, filling up the logfiles.
What I recommend is first to find a way to backup your data without booting the hard drive directly if it isn't already backed up, and then get Alsoft Disk Warrior to repair the hard drive.    You'll probably want an external drive from http://www.macsales.com/
And you'll want to go into Hard drive -> Library -> Logs, System -> Library -> Logs, and Users -> yourname -> Library -> Logs to remove whatever you find there.
If after booting it fills up again, start by removing all startup items in your System Preferences for your user, and rebooting in safe mode with the shift key held down. If the hard drive is over 85% full after removing the logfiles, you may want to look at what were the last applications you installed.
Peer2peer software if installed can be as bad as a virus, because it enables others to access your computer. Insecure wireless networks are just as bad, if they are WEP or no encryption and someone is within 1500 feet of your computer.
If no such software is installed, your RAM probably has failed.    Run the hardware test that came with your computer, by booting with the 'D' key.
If nothing shows up there, it can still be the RAM.   Especially if you've seen any 4 language screens telling you to restart.
Here's more on kernel panics:

I just updated my MacBook Pro to 10.7.5 and got a message that the AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext was improperly installed and cannot be used. How to I find and install this extension?

I just updated my MacBook Pro to 10.7.5 and got a message that the AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext was improperly installed and cannot be used. How to I find and install this extension?

Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, copy and paste the entire following line into it, and press the Run button:
do shell script "chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" with administrator privileges
If it doesn’t work, throw that item away and then reinstall iTunes.

I bought a second hand G4 iBook with iLife 09 on it. I have copied iLife to my new Macbook Pro. The applications would not open, so I did a software update and update all three applications, but they will still not open. Can anyone help?

The seller should have given you the original disk so that you can reinstall as needed. But it likely was a single-user license (which really means single computer) so you can only have a copy on one computer at a time. If the seller didn't give you the disk he is probably still using the software on his new Mac. Your best option to get any of the iWork apps to use in OS X 10.6.6 or later is through the Mac App Store. You can then install them on any Mac you have that has access to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID.

Macbook Pro shut off and won't turn on or charge?

I purchased my Macbook Pro August 1st 2012 at Best Buy and in April it shut off for no reason and it wouldn't charge. Apple replaced the battery cable and my Macbook worked for a couple of weeks, then in May same thing happened and Apple replaced the MLB, a couple days later the same thing happens and Apple replaces the Magsafe board with cable. Then a few days later specific keys on the keyboard stop working and Apple replaces the topcase with keyboard. Now 120 days later my Macbook Pro shuts off and won't charge for the 4th time. My Macbook is now out of warranty but I don't think I should pay since this is the 4th time my MacBook Pro shuts off for no reason and won't charge. Yes I already tried reseting the smc, still didn't work. What could be causing this and is there anyway Apple will cover this since is the 4th time it shuts off for no reason?

Call Apple Customer relation and explain your situation. Have your receipts for the work that was already preformed on it and ask them to replace it with a new unit.

I just changed the hard drive on my macbook pro 13" and it won't turn on. I need to put the latest operating system on it.

MacBook Pro 10.6.8 Won't recognize disc, why

MacBook Pro 10.6.8 Won't recognize disc, Why??? When I load a disc into the computer it sounds like it attempts to open 3-4 times and then ejects it without any window opening or explaination

Hi northsidecapt4211,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some troubleshooting steps you can take if your MacBook Pro isn't reading CDs:
Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2801
The drive accepts discs but they do not mount or are automatically ejected
Make sure the drive is not upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up.
Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
The MacBook Air SuperDrive is designed to be used with MacBook Air and Mac mini computers that do not have a built-in optical drive. For best results, connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
OS X 10.7 Lion or later: Open System Information by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click System Report.
If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple, an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service.
Cheers,
- Ari

So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge.

So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge. When the charger is plugged in the light remains green as if it is fully charge. Before it died the laptop still recognized the charger but wouldn't charge. And now won't turn on.

If you've a 2013 model, depending on when you purchased the machine, I would suppose that you're still under warranty or at least purchased AppleCare? Regardless, I would take the kit to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the computer (and, if you're still under warranty, fix the computer) and, if necessary, give you an estimate for repair.
There are all sorts of things that could be wrong - a faulty adapter, bad cabling, even the entire electrical circuitry may have gone bad.
You won't know unless you had an Apple tech look it over.
Good luck,
Clinton

My Macbook Pro starts beeping and won't turn on. Any ideas?

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro. It now won't turn on even though the light goes on. It also makes a beeping noise that won't stop until I force it to shut down. Does anyone have any ideas?

Normally - one would think that your RAM went bad if it's 3 beeps.
It could also mean that macbook can not find any valid os installed.
Have you recently upgraded your RAM? if so - take them out and install the old one back and see what happens.
if however, you never upgraded your RAM - best suggestion is to take it to Apple and have them take a look at it.
