IMessages won't open after Mavericks upgrade

iMessages won't open after I upgraded to Mavericks. I keep getting prompted to "enter the keychain password," but I never created a keychain. I never used it before the upgrade, and I skipped the step during the upgrade because I did not want to use keychain and it was an option to skip it during set up.

HI,
The OS X Mac have been using Keychains for a long time.
In the Applications/Utilities folder open Keychain Access.
This should show you at least two keychains.
The Login one for your Mac User account and the System one.
Generally speaking the Keychain keeps the passwords used by various apps and it needs to be Open.
In most cases the Login password for the Mac Account user is also the password that opens the Keychian when the computer is started up.
As each Mac User Account owns it's own Keychain there can be issues when you drag an account from one computer to another rather than using Migration Assistant.
i.e. you might Own it on one computer but not on another.
In the Finder > Go Menu hold down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
In the library navigate to Keychains.
Click to highlight the Login one.
Now use the CMD and i keys together (Get Info)
At the Bottom unlock the padlock
Highlight the name that has (me) next to it (it should be your Shortname).
Once you have highlighted this use the cogwheel item at the bottom.
This should be greyed out but saying "Make you (Me) the Owner."
You should also have Read and Write permissions like in the Pic.

My iMessage won't open, it just crashes.

I have the iPod 5 with IOS7. And recently after I sent my sister a few dozens of pictures it crashed. I thought maybe because of the overload photos I must of sent; there were a lot. So when I went back to iMessage it won't open. It just keeps crashing. I asked my sister to send me a few messages so when it shows up in my lock screen I can slide to unlock and open it, or when the banner appears when I'm on different apps comes down I'll press it from there. But nothing seems to work. My battery died, so when I rebooted it up I thought hey maybe it'll work now. But it still doesn't. I've restarted it as well but it's still the same. I went into settings and turned them off then on again to see what it may do. But it doesn't help. I'd really appreciate the help I might get, thanks for your time!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

IMessage Won't Open on iPad 2 iOS 6.1.3

My 32GB Black Wi-Fi iPad 2 Running iOS 6.1.3 has been working fine until recently. My friend spammed me with messages on iMessage and now it won't open. I launch it and it crashes. I've tried a soft reboot, a hard reboot, and a "reset all settings." In Settings<General<Reset
The only think I haven't tried is restoring it with iTunes. I know how to do it and I've done it in the past, I just don't want to go through the hassle. Any suggestions?
Thanks
David

To fix this issue, go into the contacts app and choose to send a message to a random contact. Then the messages app will open. Delete the spam message that was causing the problem, and delete the blank message you chose to send to the random contact. This discussion is now closed.
Thanks,
Dave

IMessage won't open when clicking on icon. Is there a fix?

Messages icon won't open when clicking on the icon since downloading Maverick. Is there a fix?

Hi,
Open the Font Book and check the AppleGothic Font is Active, not duplicated and Validates (File Menu).
In the list of fonts it is a long way down.
After that check Helvetica Neue and Lucida Grande.
The first deals with the iMessages Login.
The next is the Font used in the app to display the text.The last is the one that title the Group Bars in Buddy lists (even if you don't show then you need this)
If they check out go to Applications/Utilities and open the Disk Utility and then Repair Permissions.
This checks them against the database on the Mac which is updated when the apps and OS are updated.

IMessage won't open

My daughter has an iPod touch 4G and tonight, the iMessage app. won't open.
When we select it, a blank page opens and after a couple of seconds... it closes by itself.
We did the home/open button shut down, we deleted all apps running, we even reinitialized the device... and it still won't open.
Can you help ?
Thanks,
Chantal

Updated my Macbook Air to Yosemite and now IMessage won't open pictures

I updated my Macbook Air to Yosemite a few days ago and since then IMessage has been acting up. It won't let open pictures now. A picture comes through titled "IMG_2882" but when I click on it, it comes up with a description of the image - the type of image, when it was last modified, etc. I click the 'Open with Preview" option and nothing happens. I'm regretting updating to Yosemite now. Is anyone else having this issue? I have no idea how to fix it. Please let me know if you have any ideas! Thank you!

If it is the third party apps crashing - try downloading another app - any free app is fine. See if that resets the other apps.

IMessage won't open, says it maybe damaged or Incomplete

I try to open the iMessage and it just says ''application is incomplete or damaged. Pls how can i revert this?

First make sure you're trying to launch the copy of Messages at the top level of the Applications folder, not an outdated copy you saved somewhere else. If you are, see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance. You can skip this step if you don't care about the data that hasn't been backed up.
Reinstall the OS.* Your data should be unaffected unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Is this your issue > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
If so...
The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

Hi everyone, I had this problem but none of the solutions above worked. What happened with me, and with others in other forums, is that a particular thread or message was causing the problem. I'd go to open the message and all I'd get was a white screen with the blue bar at the top. So, I went into contacts, pressed 'send message' to a contact whose message wasn't causing the problem, then I pressed back to messages. You then swipe to the left on the thread that's causing the problem, and delete it. Sadly this means you will lose all that person's messages, but you can try opening it from there and deleting it on the thread. Didn't work for me though. Hope that helps! It was the only thing that worked for me after about three days of total frustration and resetting!

IMessage, Facetime, Software update, Appstore and other apps won't open

Hi,
I've been struggling on this for a few weeks now. I rarely open this apps thats why it's only now I flag a question.
So every time I open iMsg, Facetime, PhotoBoot, Software update, App Store, Calendar, Reminders, FontBook and Terminal, it will just bounce for a few times on the dock and will not open.
The apps that open are: iPhoto, Garageband and Notes
I already googled this and it seems that I'm not the only one.
The solutions that I get are the Disk Utility permission and the resetting the fontbook. I tried the Disk Utility Permission but didn't work. The fontbook won't open so I can't do that trick. Also ther terminal won't open. I also deleted the files in the Preferences folder but no luck.
I don't have the DVD or the disk that comes with this mac so is there any other ways that can help me resolve this problem other than taking it to the shop?
I'm using a MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2012
2.9Ghz Intel Core i7 and 8GB emory
OS X 10.9

Anyone wants to help me out?

PDF won't open in FireFox/IE on XP SP3 if Rdr9.3x and Acrobat 6.06

I've been fighting this for a few days. The platform is a windows XP SP3 domain client with Acrobat 6.0.6 and Acrobat Reader 9. (The platform was recently re-installed from scratch owing to malware infestation and is now "pristine".)
I discovered that if I install Acrobat Reader 8 PRIOR to installing Reader 9, PDF files will open in the browser windows. BUT, if Reader 8 is NOT installed prior to Reader 9, the PDF file won't open and a commonly reported error message occurs.
FireFox shows that when the viable installation sequence (as above) is followed, the Adobe Acrobat Plugins installed include support for mime types: pdf, vnd.adobe.pdfxml, vnd.adobe.x-mars, vnd.fdf, vnd.adobe.xfdf, vnd.adobe.xdp+xml, and vnd.adobe.xfd+xml. If Reader 8 is NOT installed prior to Reader 9, only the pdf mime type.
The PDFs that were the immediate cause of all this trouble were PDF forms with blanks to fill-in -- if that makes a difference.
The symptoms are reproducible.
Also, if you have Reader 9 installed and are experiencing this problem, simply uninstall it, install Reader 8, then install Reader 9. The required MIME type support seems to be supplied by the Reader 8 installation and stays around when Reader 9 is installed.
Hope this helps some folks.

Pages won't open ANY file, old or new

Pages '09 won't open previously saved documents (.pages or .doc), or open a new document from template. When attempting to open a previously saved document, I get the error message "The document "document-name.pages" couldn't be opened." Pages, as a program, however, stays open. When attempting to open a new document from a template, the progress indicator simply spins forever and does not open a document.
Keynote and Numbers work just fine, both being able to open old and new documents.
When opening an old document, Pages creates these Console messages:
5/25/09 7:10:01 PM Pages[211] Assertion failure: Method: markerOfType:forRulerView:atLocation:listLevelActive:
Object: <SFWPRulerMarker 0x2d10800>
File: /SourceCache/iWorkShared/iWorkShared-408/sfwordprocessing/SFWPRulerMarker.mm
Line #: 202
we should have had an image or an image resource name
5/25/09 7:10:01 PM Pages[211] Exception opening document: * -[SFWPRulerMarker initWithRulerView:markerLocation:image:imageOrigin:]: no image given. NSRulerMarkers must have an image.
5/25/09 7:10:01 PM Pages[211] Failed to open document, but no unrecoverable error
I have tried deleting user, system, and font caches, deleting iWork preference files, and reinstalling iWork, but none of this has worked.

Well I finally got it to work. I uninstalled and AppTrap grabbed a few preference files that belonged to Pages and I allowed it to delete them all. I rebooted and installed iWork again, but I got the same issue, again. I was attempting to select a blank document style from the Template Chooser, but it wouldn't open any, just spinning the wheel in the template preview in the Template Chooser window. I went into preferences and told it to create new files using the Blank template, and that worked. However, it wouldn't let me use the Template Chooser to open a new document.
I saved the new document, created from the Blank template in Template Chooser, to the desktop. I double-clicked on this document and it said it couldn't be opened? However, I could open it from inside Pages, just not by opening the document and having it use the default application (Pages) to open it with.
Lots of odd stuff going on here. I came to the idea that something residual was sitting on my HD, and decided to try a better cleaning. I opened Clean My Mac and dropped Pages on the Applications window. Clean My Mac did a scan and identified a ton of items pertaining to uninstalling Pages, nearly 900MB of misc documents, caches, and other stuff. At this point I wasn't too worried about deleting the wrong thing, as I am nearly ready to wipe and reinstall, whatever it takes to straighten it out.
After removing everything, I did a reboot just to be safe. Then in reinstalled iWork 09, and attempted to open documents using Template Chooser. SUCCESS! However, I remembered that it worked just fine until I applied the 9.0.2 update to iWork, so I was cautiously doubtful that I would be able to work this time once I applied the update. Well, it seems CleanMyMac pulled something off that was complicating things, possibly from the old iWork '08 version, or the Trial Version? I'm not really sure.
Anyhow, thanks for the help and suggestions. I've got a bunch of errors showing-up in the Console, and slowly, little-by-little, I'm working on trying to research and solve them all. I wish I could find a good source for referencing all of the errors that are showing-up, as this seems like it'll take a long time.
Thanks again!
Pete
