My "messages" is not working on my desktop.  It is OK on iPhone and iPad since i installed Yosemite

I installed OS X Yosemite 10.10 and lost the ability to send or receive messages in the Messages application on my desktop.  I get them and they sync on my iPad and my iPhone.  How can I fix this?  I have the phone number and apple ID correct on both of these devices.

Hi there MIMKR,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for iMessage activation found in the article below.

  • Will my older apps work when I update to OS7 on my iPhone and iPad

    Will my older apps work when I update to OS7 on my iPhone and iPad

    Yes, they all should.  If you have not been updating regularly, you may want to check for updates after upgrading iOS 7 as there have been a flurry of app updates lately with specific feature or bug fixes specifically for iOS 7.

  • HT204053 I can not get my Icloud to work on my iphone and ipad since i set up my new email addy on Apple Icloud won't let me change it on those devices ...Plz Help Shey

    I can not get my Iphone or ipad to except the new email address that is now on Apple so nothing will back up or work on Icloud on those devices Thx plz help Sheyw

    With iCloud on the phone, you will need to remove the account, then add it back in with the new address.  It is a bit awkward, but the only way to change the AppleID for the iCloud account login is to delete the account then add it back with the new credentials.  You won't loose anything as the iCloud account is still the same one, you just need to re-associate the AppleID credentials for it on the iPhone.

  • I have an iPad that I use from work that is about 2 yrs old. I now have a new iPad and I have an iPhone 5. The older iPad has no problem connecting to my home or work internet on its own. However my iPhone and iPad do. Any ideas why?

    I have a 2yr old iPad from work. And a iPhone 5 and I have a new iPad of my own now. (Not the air). My work iPad picks up wifi were ever I go. My iPhone and new iPad have trouble. I can't even get them to do it in my own house. Shouldn't  they just connect automatically ?

    Once you connect to the Wifi Network once, then the iPhone or iPad remembers it and attempts to connect automatically in the future, but you have to tap to connect to that Wifi the first time. Like the first time you get on your home wifi, or the first time you go the a certain hotel, etc.
    Now, one you navigate to Settings > Wifi and tap on the network you wish to connect to, if you are having issues there, use this article to help you: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

  • My ical will not sync with iphone and ipad since I've been using icloud. It says URL is incorrect. But what is the correct one and where do I input that to enable all calenders to sync on all devices?

    What is the correct URL for my ical on my MacBook so that all devices will have the same information? And how/where do I update that?
    Thank you.

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • I changed my apple id but it will not allow us to update our apps on 2nd iphone and ipad. What can we do to fix/

    I changed my apple id due to our email address changing. The new apple id works fine on my iphone but my wife cannot update apps on either her iphone 5 or ipad. It keeps asking for the password to the apple id we no longer use. What are solutions?

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of the account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6+) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it - and similarly with the iPhone.

  • After working great why will my home share not work on my iphone and ipad mini

    I had been running home share on my iphone great.  I share a music library with my wife.  We just bought an ipad mini and i was messing around with the ipad and set up home share, however it would not work.  I tried logging out of my iphone and re connect and it will no longer connect.  I have not been able to get home share to work on the mini.
    I have browsed all the feeds, but not getting anywhere.

    Have you checked all devices are connected to the same network and tried restarting your router.

  • HT1277 Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my phone and iPad.  Can anyone help me with this?  Is there a setting I need to check?

    Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my iPhone and iPad. Can anyone help me with this?  Is there a setting that I need to check?

    All that you had to do was to sign into the old account in order to update those apps. What I mean is that you just needed to sign into that account in the store settings like I described and that should have worked. You didnt need to enter the credit card information again - you justed needed to use the old ID and password.
    Anyway, I think the good news is that if everything else is OK with the new account, just download iBooks with the new ID - it's a free app so its not like you have to pay for it again. I'm not sure what the other App is that you are talking about - but if it is the Apple Store App - that is free as well.
    Try this anyway, when you try to update iBooks, just use the old password if the old ID still pops up.
    Did you try signing into the store settings with your new ID and see what happens with the updates then?

  • MS exchange account on my iPhone and iPad doesn't capture sent mail when sent from iPhone or iPad! Everyting else seems to work fine. Can someone pleasse help?

    MS exchange account on my iPhone and iPad doesn't capture sent mail when sent from iPhone or iPad! Everyting else seems to work fine. Can someone pleasse help?

    iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
    I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
    iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
    These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
    So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
    In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
    Good luck!

  • HT4199 I have a Netgear router and have just acquired a Edimax wifi extender.  My MacBook Air sees the wifi signal and can get to the internet through the extender access point.  However, while my iPhone and iPad mini can also see the WiFi signal, not Int

    I have a Netgear WNR2000 router and an Edimax EW-7438RPn wifi range extender.  I have gotten the range extender to work well with my MacBook Air, however, while my iPhone 3Gs and iPad mini can pick up the wireless signal from the range extender, they cannot get to the Internet through it.  No IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, or DNS appear in the details on either the iPhone or the iPad mini.   How do I get the iPhone and the iPad to connect to the Internet.   It seems that the problem is with the iPhone and iPad, since the MacBook Air works just fine with this set up.  

    Junglemania,
    Go into the setup page of the EW-7438RPn.  Go to Wireless Advanced Settings.  There is a WMM settings.  Make sure the WMM is enabled. 
    This may help you out.

  • How can I backup my files on an iPhone and iPad? I have a PC, not a MAC computer.

    I would like to backup the files on my iPhone and iPad. I usually back them up on a regular PC and external hard drive (a WD My Passport). I do not have a MAC computer.

    iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your PC, or to iCloud.
    See this Apple document for more information about iOS backups:
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

  • Notes from macbook not syncing with iPhone and iPad

    notes stopped syncing in icloud from macbook air to iphone and ipad. anyone experience this? icloud settings are the same on all devices.....

    You don't need iPhoto on your mobile devices in order to use Photostream.
    It also doesn't make any difference where you purchased iPhoto from to use PhhotoStream on your Mac.
    However if you are updating iPhoto on your Mac, it is updated using the Mac app store, which uses it's own ID, which may or may not be the same as the ID you use for iTunes.

  • 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

  • E75 messaging application not working

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased an E75 and at first glance it looks to be very nice. However, now i have run into the problem that messaging is not working properly. The message indicator is telling me that I have 6 new messages. When I try to go menu>>messages the application tries to open but immediately crashes. Also when I try to open the messages directly by clicking on them from the message indicator the same behavior seems to happen.
    Has anybody experienced the same? How do I get rid of these messages if I can't open them?
    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    I've had similar problems with my E75.
    I've found that Nokia Messaging simply gets confused & over-loaded, and gives up.
    Try accessing you email account from your computer.
    Then, delete all of your messages from your inbox & sent folders.
    Basically, purge as much as possible.
    Then try accessing it from your E75.
    This usually works for me.
