Why is my Macbook Pro not recognizing my contacts in Messages?

I downloaded OS X Yosemite on my Macbook Pro HD yesterday and everything seemed to integrate perfectly well except for the Messages app. I thought it may have been an error because my iPhone 5's OS was outdated, so I installed iOS 8.1 on my phone. That didn't change anything. My Mac won't send, or receive iMessages on my Macbook. It seems that the Messages app doesn't recognize my contacts when I click on a specific contact and highlights the name read in the Messages app. Does anyone have an idea why it is doing this, and what can I do to resolve the problem?

Can your MacBook Pro (MBP) recognize any Wi-Fi network, just not yours? If so, what is the make & model of your wireless modem?

  • Macbook Pro not recognizing Windows 7 RC 32-bit disk

    I'm trying to install Windows 7 RC on my Macbook Pro but it's not recognizing the disk. Does anyone know why this is?

    ucbound,
    I replied in my post to your same question as well.
    Are you using Boot Camp Assistant to set-up for a clean install of Windows 7 RC:
    Start Boot Camp > Create Windows partition > insert Windows DVD > click 'Continue' after DVD icon shows on desktop?
    Or are you receiving the error message after clicking 'Continue' in Boot Camp Assistant?
    Others here are more experienced with the MacBook series so hopefully they will chime in at some point if it is an in-depth issue / resolution here.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro not boot up with the Snow Leopard Disk?

    I have erased the entire hard drive on a 2011 macbook pro that had snow leopard on it. I was corrupted. I not insert my Snow Leopard Disk and the machine will not boot. I chose target mode to erase the hard drive from my mac book pro with Mt. Lion on it.
    Thank uou for any help,
    Ken

    Target mode?  Is there a second computer involved?  Why not insert the Snow Leopard disc in the computer on which you wish to install and hold down the C key to boot from it?
    If the disc came with a different computer it will not boot another model.  Retail discs also may not boot all model computers, even those that came with the same major version.  For example, some MBPs came with 10.6.6 but a retail disc may only be 10.6.3.

  • Why is this Macbook pro not Upgradeable?( ram and Hard drive)

    Apple,
       I am really disappointed in how your new Macbook Pro 15" is totally un-updateable! I have been a loyal consumer regarding apple products. Flexibility and scaleability is key with any technology. My issues is this, not everyone wants to farm out their data to ICLOUD in light of your new hard drive is not expandable or updatable
    http://www.zdnet.com/article/want-to-upgrade-that-retina-macbook-pro-tough-luck/
    Apple why make a computer virtually un-upgradeable. As Operating systems advance, they will need more power, storage, and Ram to run.
    I don't know how this product was  even approved for mass production.  Your not giving us options - You need to bring back updatable parts.
    You are not sensitive to the needs of customer.
    Could you please fix this !

  • Why did my Macbook pro not come with a Lion CD or USB?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 model with lion installed. The mac came with lion. But why did my mac not come with a CD or USB for lion?

    No Mac comes with a DVD or USB for Lion, everything is done online now.  For those who absolutely must have a USB you can buy Lion on a USB drive for $70 or thereabouts.
    If you're concerned about drive repair and re-installing Lion, these articles may be of interest:

  • MacBook Pro not recognizing new printers

    My MacBook Pro is not recognizing my new wireless Epson printer.  When I click "Add printer," no printers show in the list to add.  I have tried connecting it with the ethernet cord as well, but it still doesn't show up.  My dad's computer added the printer just fine, which is also a Mac.  My computer also isn't recognizing my husband's printer or my dad's printer at his house.  When I first bought the computer a few years ago (maybe 2 years??), I connected my current printer just fine and it still works.  However, I need a new printer, and now it doesn't seem to recognize any other printer besides the old one I have always had.  I have tried updating my computer, but it says that it is up to date.  Help!

    Lindsay518,
    what said that it couldn’t be opened? Is the file completely downloaded? (If so, it should be 1,190,445,549 bytes long; you can Get Info on the file to confirm its length.)
    Note that EPSON also has drivers available for your combination of printer and operating system version on their Web site. More importantly, they also have a firmware update available for the WF-2540.

  • Why is my macbook pro not authorized to play my itunes music nor accepting my mobileme account info?

    I loaded my music on my iPhone 4 (which plays just fine from there) but when it syncs to my macbook pro it says this computer is not authorized to play my music. To authorize this computer it asks me to log into MobileMe (for which I know both the email and password and can log into in another screen) but it says it does not recognize my account, password or any security questions. Any help in getting the so-called integrated MobileMe/Apple system to recognize each other so I can play my music on all of my devices????

    Try resetting your Apple ID password.

  • Macbook pro not recognizing keyboard

    Hi,
    I have a late 2006 Macbook Pro15" Core 2 duo 2.2 with the latest 10.7.2 OS.
    Recently the mouse pad hasbecome intermittently responsive and the keyboard cuts in and out. Yesterdaythe whole keyboard was not being detected by the computer and it started tolook for a blue tooth device. I restarted a couple times with the same results.I then took it to my local MacMall here in SM where it started workingperfectly. They did some tests and could not find any hardware issues... Gothome and its working intermittently again.
    Help!!!! Any ideas whats goingon or suggstions?
    Thanks!
    Zac

    Could be. I also have a 2006 MBP that I've opened several times due to some overheating issues that required my cleaning up the fans and hot air exhaust, so I remember the layout inside the chassis; sure enough, the keyboard is linked to the logic board by a small flat cable that attaches thanks to a flat, square nylon connector. It barely clips on in the best of circumstances, and I remember one time where I had to open the machine again because I couldn't get my keyboard to work at all. Yours seems to work intermittently, so I may be wrong...
    In any case, one picture is worth a thousant words, they say: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Core-Duo-Model-A1150- Keyboard/484/4

  • MacBook Pro not recognizing MagicJack Plus

    I conncected the MagicJack Plus into my macbook pro and successfully registered my product. I went through all the steps and received my phone number. After that it all went downhill.
    I disconnected the magicjack and connected it to my router. That wasn't working so I connected it back to my pro and boom. It didn't recognize it and nothing would pop up like it should. I followed all the steps in removing the software and anything related to MagicJack and it still does not work. My phone number and account are activited. The blue light turns one and everything seems to work fine. I don't know what it is.
    Im running OS X Mavericks
    Just wondering if anyone has had similar problems and any fixes.

  • MacBook Pro not recognizing USBs on Dell monitor

    I have a 2013 MacBook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.1. I recently purchased a Dell UltraSharp U2312HM 23" IPS LED LCD Monitor to use for some graphics work. I am using a port to miniport cable to connect and have had no problems setting and calibrating displays to work the way I want. My problem is that I am  now using the only 2 USB ports on the laptop for my mouse and keyboard. The monitor has 4 USB ports and when I plug any type of device into them (apple keyboard, flashdrive, mouse wireless antenna, etc.) the computer does not recognize them or even notice them. Can I get the USBs on the monitor to work? If so how? Thank you in advance.

    one more point to add...i installed windows using bootcamp, and through windows the 2560X1440 resolution works. so its not a hardware problem either

  • MacBook Pro not recognizing DVDs

    I have a 2 Ghz week 10 MacBook Pro, and it just recently started doing this. The DVD is not bad, i checked both of the DVDs i used on other DVD players. This is what happens:
    -i insert the DVD
    -it starts spinning and DVD Player launches, but stays in window mode
    -the movie DOES NOT play
    then if i touch any controls such as play or rewind, it says Supported Disc Not Available. i also have MacTheRipper and that doesnt show the DVD either. as i said before, ive used DVD Player succesfully along with MacTheRipper. Any help would be appreciated.
    -UnBiased

    I'm also having problems. My MacBook Pro 17 spits out blank Memorex DVD+RW media after spinning around for about 45 seconds. The Media says it's OK at 4x, and the drive is also spec'd at 4x?! My buddy's HP PC burns these DVDs just fine. Apple has (supposedly) replaced the drive it still does the same thing.
    Any ideas/thoughts out there? Thanx.

  • Why does my macbook pro not start up?

    Today I changed ram on my old macbook pro. 667hz DDR2 type from 2X1 TO 2X2.
    After i finished the installation my laptop has not worked properly. It currently runs 10.7.
    No startup sound, and the white light at the bottom flashes constantly in sequenses of three. Three quick flashes.
    What is wrong? Even when I re-inserted my old RAM the same problem occurred.
    Please help!

    MacBook Pro 3,1  15' 2,2 Core 2 Duo Late 2007.
    I used the same buss speed (667 mhz) and the same type DDR2. Same number of pins.
    I also checked what happened with 0 ram in slots, and then it started blinking constantly.
    So it must see the RAM but the RAM seems useless for some reason...
