Not receiving iMessage on my Mac

Why am I not reeiving iMessages on my Mac or display any of my chat history?

An alternative.
Is anyone sending iMessages to your on the ID you use on your Mac ?
The Messages app can do the old style iChat IMs as well as iMessages.
The best start for those is to use the same Apple ID on the iPhone, iPad, Touch  as well as Messages on your Mac.
Some people say they sync better if the iPhone is Turned Off then rebooted to cut the link to the iMessage Server then re-establish it on the restart.
Others say it seems to do better if the iPhone has all messages cleared before trying to sync.
It is reported that full on iPhone Number syncing will come with iOS 6 as has already been said

  • Still not receiving iMessages on my Mac

    I am Still not receiving iMessages on my Mac, even after the Moutain Lion 10.8.2 update and iOS6 on my iPhone 4S.  Does anyone know how to solve this?
    I was under the impression that after the 10.8.2 update and iOS6 and having all of the correct preferences checked new iMessages from someone else would also show up on my Mac and iPad.  Can someone please help and advise?
    Thanks!

    William,
    Thanks so much for your reply and attention to this matter!  I actually figured out last night that I did not have the right boxes checked within the Preferences of iMessage on my Mac.  PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
    Now if you could just help me solve my last issue!  See below...

  • TS3899 Since I updated my iphone, I am not receiving email on my .mac account.  What's wrong?

    Since I updated my iphone to I0S6, I am not receiving email on my .mac account.  What's wrong?

    Tim, I was speaking generally. Obviously the iOS upgrade didn't remove the ability to charge on ALL 3rd party devices, else my iH9 wouldn't charge it either.
    What I just can't understand is how an old iHome model works just fine with a new iPhone, yet a new iHome model will not. If anything, I would think it would be the other way around.
    Anyway, I emailed iHome explaining my situation and I asked if they had planned on releasing a firmware update to fix the problem. I got the typical generic response about unplugging the iHome & removing the batteries for an hour then trying again. And if that doesn't work, send it in for repair in which I would need to pay for the shipping.
    If I decide to go that route, I think it's just going to be a waste of time as I would get the iHome back "repaired" and it would have the exact same problem. But I guess I'll never know until I try.
    I remember reading on these forums about several others having the same problem. So what are the odds that the iHomes these other people got who are experiencing the same problem are problematic as well? Unless the "repair" iHome is referring to is a firmware update, I don't really buy into this.

  • IPhone 5s not receiving iMessages after upgrading to iOS 8

    After upgrading to iOS 8 my iPhone 5s is not receiving iMessages from the rest of the family. My phone shows up green instead of blue on the other phones. I have tried all kinds of resets, turning off/on iMessages, etc. Nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • Telepresence client 4.8, No incoming video / Not receiving audio on a Mac - Windows is OK

    Hi, I'm using the Jabber Telepresence client v4.8.8.18390 on a Mac - Yosemite 10.10.2
    It used to work fine, but something has changed and now I can't receive video or audio. The call seems to initiate, local camera is in use, but then get the messages "no incoming video" and "not receiving audio", as shown in the attachment. 
    It works fine on my windows client, v4.8, so I know my account is fine, and i'm using the same settings to connect to the server - so this seems to be a local issue. 
    If i downgrade to v 4.4 then I can receive audio, but still no video, and 4.6 or 4.8 are both broken in the same way.
    I think this may be something along the lines of conflicting / bad codecs installed on the mac - but can't find a way of tracking that down. 
    Any help would be hugely appreciated.
    Thanks
    Sam  

    Does your camera/audio/mic work with other software such as Skype or YouTube, etc?  Are you sure this is a Jabber issue versus a PC problem?
    Have you tried the newer 4.7 client?
    I see Windows 8 is supported;

  • I got a new iPhone (upgraded from a 4 to a 5S) and now I am not getting iMessages on my Mac. How can I make it so I get iMessages on my Mac again?

    When I bought my new iPhone, I stopped getting iMessages to my computer. Before I got my 5S, iMessages came straight through to my Mac, as well as my phone. Now they only go to my phone. How can this be fixed? I am using a MacBook Pro (Retina) which is up-to-date with all software updates.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated . Thank you!

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
              Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    and on the iPhone:
              Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
    Then, on the phone, tap
              Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

  • OS X 10.4.11 will send but not receive faxes on Power Mac G4 MDD

    OS X 10.4.11 will send but not receive faxes on my Power Mac G4 MDD. Perhaps I should remove the relevant .plist preference file(s). But which one(s) is it /are they? Or is there something else I should do?

    Thank you for your reply, BDAqua. I have set the fax feature to answer after 3 rings, but the phone rings only once when someone is trying to send a fax. The phone icon in the menu bar changes to "ringing ..." but nothing more happens. The phone line on which I receive faxes is dedicated to that use. I phoned in to its number earlier today from another phone. I heard it ring once and then it went to the busy signal. I then disconnected the fax phone line from its wall jack, connected a phone to the jack, and phoned in to it. The phone now rang and rang as it should. So this confirms the assumption that the fault is in the computer, presumably in the Print & Fax software. I should also mention that I don't find com.apple.print.FaxPrefs.plist in /Library/Preferences.

  • Iphone 5s not receiving imessages or sms after ios 8.1 update

    Since updating to iOS 8.1 this morning I have not received any iMessages or SMS, despite my wife having told me she has sent numerous messages to me today! Anyone else have this problem, and any ideas as to how to resolve it?  Thanks.

    I had this problem too. Upgraded this morning and didn't receive any messages all day. Got home and looked at my iPad and found that I'd missed several messages.
    Turned out that iMessage was switched off. Don't know why that would be the case...  but I went into Settings -> Messages, saw that it was now off, switched it on, and all is back to normal.

  • One Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from .mac

    OK, this is an odd problem, and any help would be appreciated.
    My girlfriend's Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from my .mac address. If I send email from my Gmail or Yahoo! accounts she receives the message. No one else has informed me that they haven't received email from the .mac address. Additionally, the .mac account is in her address book.
    Anyway, has anyone seen a similar pattern with Yahoo! or any other email provider?
    Thanks.
    - Jennings

    Thanks for the reply . . . and yes, the recipient's email provider likely holds the answer.
    However, I was hoping someone here might have had a similar experience and could answer as the email provider is Yahoo, and they are slow in responding to help requests . . . for a period I hosted a personal, paid website through Yahoo Domains and help tickets lingered for several days on multiple occasions (this being the reason the site is no longer hosted by Yahoo). I also doubt Yahoo will expend too much energy resolving a problem for a free email account.
    Anyway, I posted in the Yahoo mail forums, and hopefully something will come-up . . . .

  • Not receiving iMessages after attempting to link accounts by adding additional email address.

    I tried to link my daughters iMessages (iPod) to my account (iPhone). On my iphone I went to settings/ messages/ send and receive/ add another email. I was told that I could not add her email address and was directed to 'cancel' or 'remove email address'. I chose to remove it and was told that 'you will no longer be able to receive iMessages from (email address) on any device. Foolishly I continued and now she is not receiving her messages. How can I get them back?

    Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and sign out of your ID and then sign in again.
