TS2755 iMessage won't open

My son sent a tremendously long message with 1,000's of faces. Now my iMessage won't even open. Same thing happened on my iPad and my wife's iPhone, but there's were okay after resetting. I have tried closing apps, resetting, rebooting. What else?

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!

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/freezes?

Both my iPod Touch 4th gen, and iPad mini won't open iMessage. I've restarted both, turned them off, restored them, turned iMessage off and logged out, and both have the latest software. When i try to open iMessage, I get a the layout of the screen but with no words or anything on it. When i logged out of iMessage and then opened it I was able to log in but it froze and I was unable to select any of the messages. What should I do?

If you only restored from backup try restoring to factory settings/new iPod.

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.

TS2755 imessage won't accept my password

Is or has anyone's iMessage not accepted their password when opening iMessage even though you're positive you're entering it correctly?

it is a security issue. Go to settings>general>date&time>set automatically
Make sure set automatically is turned on.
Someone suggested this on another page and totally did the trick.

TS2755 iMessage won't disassociate a contact that no longer has an iPhone

My son recently changed phones. He no longer has an iPhone. No matter what I try, other than turning iMessage completely off, my iPhone still wants to send a text to him as iMessage. This is blocking group messages from going through.
This is what I have tried so far:
disassociated his iPhone from his Apple account
turned iMessages off on his old iPhone
turned WiFi off on his old iPhone
turned his iPhone off
deleted all threads with him in my messages
removed his contact completely from my contacts
turned iMessages off on my iPhone
restarted my iPhone
As soon as I turn iMessages back on, it registers his number as an iMessage text instead. I was on with tech support with AT&T for over an hour and the only thing that worked is leaving iMessage off on my phone. Please help! I am at a loss.
Thank you!!
Kim

He changed his Apple ID password and now my iPhone is no longer associating his number as an iMessage contact. Score!! I hope this helps someone else.

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.
