Texts randomly disappear from OSX Messages

I've noticed that Messages randomly reverts to an earlier point in conversations effectivelly losing multiple texts. Sometimes these are filled back in by switching to other inactive conversations and then switching back to the active conversation. Sometimes they don't come back regardless of actions. I have NOT noticed this on the IOS end of Messages...only the OSX Messages version. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi,
I have not seen this.
I have not seen it reported either.
However many people say they have many odd experiences with the Mac version of Messages and thre iMessages account.
The sync to the amc version does not seem to be as fast or as timely as the iOS version.
It seems new Messages can "interrupt" the sync and get placed out of order. - Some reports of restarting the app once the sync has finished does reorder the iMessages.
Today I have read a post where someone sent a reply to an iMessage then closed the computer (Laptop Lid ?)
When they re-opened the computer and Messages again they continued the conversation and the last message from the contact prior to the computer being closed was repeated after they had sent a new message to them.
At present I am not sure what to suggest.
It is almost as if the iMessages server for the Mac version is a different server to the iOS one and issues are arising as data is synced between the two with some getting mislaid and corrupted.
The only real workaround is to have the computer not sleep and keep the messages app open.
In many cases this is impractical but also defeats the purpose of being able to move between devices for the iMessages
I would use this feedback page as Messages is built on the iChat engine.

  • HT201394 My Quicktype has disappeared from my messaging. How can I get it back?  I just update my IOS 8 to the 8.2

    My quicktype has disappeared from my messaging.  I have even updated to the IOS 8.2 to fix, but still not there.  How do I get quicktype back?

    The new iOS is 8.0.2, but go into Settings>General>Keyboard and see if it still shows the keyboard installed. You can also try a reset on the phone to see if that will take care of it, by holding down the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This will not affect any of your data.

  • HT1694 The text has disappeared from my emails in my inbox. What can I do to get the text back?

    The text has disappeared from my emails in my inbox. What can I do to get the text back?

    Try closing the Mail app via the taskbar and see if the email text shows when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it they try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Help!! My linked text file disappears from the links palette

    I've set my preferences so that InDesign creates a link when placing text and spreadsheet files, and when I first place the file it appears in the Links palette just fine.
    However, as soon as I make a change in the original text file, it disappears from the Links palette!
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm using CS2.
    Thanks very much!

    Just figured it out - Didn't notice that I wasn't setting the "Photo Credit" paragraph style. Problem solved!

    I randomly have phony and abp disappear from the menu. If I disable and reenable the plugin it starts working again.

    The outdated Flash plugins is not due to any Firefox version or updates but due to a blocklist of vulnerable Flash plugins made on Dec 11/12. The Firefox 31.3.0esr and 34 were released on December 1st and the updated Flash came out on Dec 9.

  • My Bootcamp Partition has disappear from OSX and its impossible to activate

    Hello,
    i`m using Bootcamp with Win XP, and now the partition has disappear from the desktop of OSX. When i use the HD-Diagnostic tool i can see the partition as unactivated. Trying to activate is not possible. But the partition seems to be working, because i can still start Win XP when i reboot and hold the "alt" Key. Then i can choose between OSX and WinXP and it goes fine. Is there a way to activate this partition in OSX? Because i want to delete WinXP from my Apple.

    Hi
    To remove the WinXP partition you have to run Bootcamp Assistant (Application/Utilities) again, it should give you the option to (not sure of exact words)Remove Windows and Return to one partition.
    This question should have really been asked in the Boot Camp Public Beta Forum. The first thread in that forum is called Uninstalling Boot Camp but gives the same instructions as I have.

  • Services for object buttons randomly disappearing from FB03

    Hello SAP Experts,
    We display an FI document via tcode FB03 (Display Document) and use the "services for object" buttons to attach documents via the "create attachment" button and also to view attached documents via the "attachment list" button.
    However, quite often when displaying the FI document after a document has been attached, the "services for objects" buttons are not displayed.  Just a blank toolbar appears.
    Later on the when the FI document is displayed again via tcode FB03 (Display Document), the "services for objects" buttons do appear and the attachments can then be displayed.
    As the attachments can be viewed sometimes, I would say that this issue is not related to security.
    Any idea's what maybe causing the "services for objects" buttons randomly disappearing???

  • Personal Certificates Randomly Disappearing from IE9

    Hello,
    I have systems running Win 7 Enterprise (64-bit) and IE9.  A particular group uses digital certs to access some web-based applications.  There appears to be an issue where the certs are randomly dropped from the certificate store.  I am able
    to restore them from a backup and they work as intended until the next instance of this issue.  As mentioned, it is random with all the users of a particular group, all accessing the same applications.  The certs are far from their expiration date,
    some have had the problem with newly issued certs.  Can anyone point me in the right direction to research what may be causing this to happen?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    when asking a question in an internet related forum it is helpful if you can include the FULL address of the website or web page you are having issues with...
    would your un-named website be paypal?
    ... follow the prompts and install the updated cert.
    Post consumer questions about IE to http://answers.microsoft.com (Help>Online Support menu from IE). Include with your questions the FULL address of any websites you are having issues with.
    this forum is for IT Administrators who manage domain networked computers with IEAK and GPO.

  • Why are songs randomly disappearing from iTunes?

    Every once in while, I turn on iTunes and find that it cannot "locate" songs.  When I go into Finder, the songs are gone -- they've completely disappeared. And it's completely random -- a few songs from a number of albums, a couple of albums completely, and single songs here and there. And it doesn't matter how I got the music -- whether  I've downloaded from the iTunes store, others websites, or my own CDs.  Using an iMac 10.7.4, iTunes 10.  Can someone explain why this is happening? It also happened with my old MacBook Pro.

    My son (a former Apple Genius) finally figured out what was happening to my movies. A recent upgrade of iTunes seems to have a new feature that determines if the movie was purchased or gotten from another source. When the Add To Library option is used, if the new purchased movie was in the Movie folder, it is added to iTunes and remains in the same folder location. A movie from another source, if in the Movie folder to begin with, is moved by iTunes into the Home Videos folder in the iTunes Library. If you prefer to keep all of your movies in the Movie folder, which seems like the logical thing to do, select the movie title in iTunes and then right click to Get Info. Then select the Options tab at the top of the window, Change the Media Type to Movies - this will change the library file folder location where the file is stored and also change the location where the file is found in your AppleTV.

  • "send", "attach" boxes disappeared from new message screen.

    My "New Message" screen no longer displays boxes to send, attach file, etc. I don't know what I did to cause it, and can't find out how to restore them. I can still use these functions from the menu bar, but the boxes were very handy and I'd like to have them back.

    I found the problem. To see the "send", "attach" and other icons, click view>show toolbar.

  • Airport Extreme randomly disappearing from Airport Utility

    Dear All,
    We've got here 32 AirPort Extreme Basesations, all with firmware 7.5.2. They are setup for Radius via Server Admin and linked to the OD Master. The basestations work fine except that they drop randomly from the list of basestations in the Airport Utility. They appear to work fine however it's very frustrating that remote access gets lost from time to time. The only solution then is to go under the ceiling and restart them. The units are configured identically and have it's own hostname defined via DNS and the tickbox is on for remote access via Bonjour.
    Does anybody has seen this? Especially if configured via Server Admin to authenticate via Radius?
    AirPort Extreme has no console login either, that would enalbe us to remotely login and restart the device.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    I had the same problem. I figured out what the problem was when I answered the phone while I was using the computer. My 2.4ghz phone matched the freq with the AirPort, and it killed it every time the phone was on. It took me a few months before I figured it out. Try making a call when you can see the signal meter on the computer. If you don't have a 2.4ghz phone, ask your neighbor. It could be their phone.

  • Album art is randomly disappearing from my iTunes.  Please help!

    I think it might be a bug or something.  If anyone else is experiencing the same thing, please let me know so I know I'm not the only one.

    The part that ****** me off the most is I pay 1$ for each tune, and the artwork magically disappears. This does not seem to be a very common issue, I have not seen many posts about it. Isolated issue?

  • Hotmail disappearing from Mail on iPhone 6

    A few months ago I was having trouble with my email not downloading to my phone so I deleted the hotmail account and re-installed it. It solved the problem with emails not downloading but after a few weeks I noticed my oldest emails were disappearing from my phone. I don't use outlook on a computer so it isn't related
    to that. I use Mail on an iMac but I rarely use email on my computer.  I went into settings and changed deleted messages --> remove to "never" but it is still happening. I noticed after I re-installed hotmail it is connected to the server now. In other words if I log in to hotmail from a web browser the inbox is the same as on my phone so if I delete a message from the web browser it is deleted on my phone and vice versa (it didn't do this before I deleted hotmail the first time) but when the emails randomly disappear from my phone they are still in my inbox on the web browser.
    I hope someone can help because I primarily use my phone for email and I keep losing important emails.

    Ok, great!.  So what?  What is your question?

  • Siri & voice to text icon disappeared after update

    After trouble shooting at the Apple store last night, I updated my operating system to 6.1.  Now the icon for voice to text is missing from my messaging choices and Siri is gone as well....thanks for your help!

    Voice control needs to be turned on in the Privacy settings options...
    If you're still having problems with audio sounds not playing (like ringing, notifications bells & beeps, or audio from videos or podcasts) like I did, this is what you do:
    Go to the Apple store and tell them of your issue.  One question they will ask is if the phone has been exposed to any humidity.  They will take your phone to the back and look inside with a microscope and determine if a particular connection on the pcb is corroded. 
    If you're under warranty, or close to the past expiration date, they DO have the option to exchange your phone for a new one.
    (there are other methods to clearing this issue, such as turning it completely off, cleaning the ports with an alcohol damp qtip and/or doing a complete reset)
