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...

Thanks in advance!

  • 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

  • Difficulty deactivating iMessages; 3 weeks later & still not receiving texts from iPhones

    I recently switched to Android, and I didn't know to turn off my iMessages before. It's now been three weeks, and I'm still not receiving messages from iPhone. I went online & tried to deauthorize my past apple devices, and STILL no luck.
    Any advice? I want to contact Apple, but it's absurdly expensive, apparently, if you don't have an Apple device (seriously? $19?). How long before I should start receiving iMessages if my phone has been deauthorized?

    You should be able to contact Apple support to deactivate iMessage at no charge by going to the following link and then click "Other Apple ID Topics" and then "Messages and Apple ID"  https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action

  • TS4069 all of a sudden i can't get incoming mail.  I can send just fine.  I deleted my account and then reintalled it; now it only shows emails going back one month and still not receiving new ones.

    I cannot receive incoming mail all of a sudden on my I-Pone 4.  I deleted my comcast account and then set it up again as suggested.  Now it only loaded messages beginning one month ago; and still not receiving any new.  Any ideas?

    There are only two things that I can suggest.
    The first is to try the Mail Setup Assistant.
    The other is giving Mozilla's Thunderbird a shot - setup the account and see if it will work with this free email app. I don't like Mail at all - and it gives some people fits around here (I don't know how many times people have posted about problems with outgoing servers using Mail).
    Try both methods - I don't use Mail - I use MS's Outlook (and, before that, Entourage). If the Setup Assistant offers no relief, just try Thunderbird and see if it works with it.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • 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.

  • I deregistered my phone number from imessage but am still not receiving texts on my android phone

    I went the the deregistration process. This improved the annoyance but is still not fully resolved. I still am not getting texts in certain group message settings. The problem seems to be in group texts where everyone else is using imessage except me.

    Hello Laurie33,
    This can be accomplished by deactivating iMessage.
    To deregister your phone number, tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
    If you can't deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above or you can't access the iPhone, please contact Apple Support.

  • 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;

  • Switched to Samsung GS5 2 months ago, still not receiving messages from iphone users

    I switched to a non iphone over two months ago and ever since then I cannot receive messages from iphone users sending in imessage format. They have to turn imessage on and off to be able to text me. This has been extremely inconvenient since I need to receive these messages for work in addition to my personal life. I have tried multiple suggestions I've read about, still nothing works. It's like this is apple's way of keeping customers using their iphone instead of switching for fear of not receiving messages. They won't really fix it either when we all know technology is advanced enough to fix this. HELP.

    Inbox on my Mail Desktop does NOT match what iphone, ipad, or web mail shows. Because it is NOT getting mail or syncing. Still doesn't when I hit the get mail button, get new mail, get all new mail etc.
    Connection doctor says gmail IMAP is green.
    Troubleshooting already performed: Restarted mail. Rebooted computer. Deleted gmail account and re-added it ... TWICE. Downloaded and installed new mail app (which was acually the same one I already had). Spent an hour on the phone with Mac support.
