Why won't the messages and facetime app work?

I refuse to believe that the only fix for this is to do all the behind the scenes stuff to change out certain aspects of apps.  I would think that because messages and facetime come built into 10.8.2.  I believe that it is on apple's shoulders to fix this with an update or maybe just an updated messages and facetime app.

I had my messages and facetime in a folder inside applications, once I copied and pasted the new apps into the folder and clicked replace, they worked just fine, maybe some of you have done the same thing!

  • Why won't the Camera and Photos apps work? I can't access my photos or take new ones.

    I can no longer take new photos, or access my camera roll or photo stream from within the camera or photos apps.
    Several days ago I took an HDR photo and the phone became unresponsive on the "saving" dialog with the progress loop rolling. After 15 minutes, and multiple attempts at getting it un-hung, I forced a restart of the phone. Since then, whenever I take a picture, the app disappears and drops me on the home screen right after the "iris" graphic clicks on the screen. The same app crash happens when I simply try to look at previously saved pictures in either the camera or photos apps. Since then I have synched the phone, and performed a factory reset, and neither has fixed the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I get use of my camera back?

    I'm having the same problem, but am traveling for business right now so all I can do is restart the phone.  I don't live near an Apple store either, so I don't know how I'll get it fixed.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!

  • Why won't my nike and iPod app work anymore

    Why won't my Nike+iPod app work on my iPod touch anymore? I just get a red screen then it closes. Anyone have an idea why this happens. It work fine not to long ago but I went to use it today and it's not working.

    - Try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring from backup
    - Last, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Why won't the Creative Cloud Desktop App Work??

    I have been trying for 2 weeks to get Creative Cloud to update to the CC versions from CS6 versions.  I've tried all the different methods I've found on the Forums.  Deleted the OOBE directory, tried to download directly from the Download page.  Nothing works!  the CCDesktop app is just a blank page - i've deleted and reinstalled the app at least 15 times - still a blank window for the CC Desktop app.  Does anyone have a workable solution?  I am running a 2011 iMac 27' 3.1 GHZ i5 core with OS 10.9.1
    Jim

    I'm having the same really frustrating issue. Did the link below help you at all? It did nothing for me. This problem with the creative cloud desktop being blank happened as soon as I installed the latest update for it. Ever since then, it's been blank, and thus, worthless to me.

  • Why won't the wake and sleep feature work on my ipad

    I have a case that works but it doesn't

    You have Settings > General > iPad Cover Lock / Unlock set 'on' ? If you have and the cover is aligned then you could try a soft-reset and see if it works after the iPad has restarted : 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.

  • Why won't the sleep and wake button work

    the sleep and wake button has stopped working.

    If you have Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If you would like to try perfect Virtual Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock. You can even turn iPhone OFF with this button. To turn iPhone ON, connect iPhone to power ie charger or USB of computer.

  • Why didn't my 'messages' and 'facetime' cloud-over to my new ipad?

    Why didn't my 'Messages' and 'Facetime' apps on my iphone cloud-over to my new ipad.  My contacts did!  When I try to get in to them on my ipad an error comes up saying it won't let me and to check network settings????

    Do you have the PDFs on the computer's iTunes (or iBooks app if using a Mac with Mavericks on) that you restored the new iPad from ?
    The 'sync collections' setting doesn't copy PDFs between devices, it just means that if an item is on more than one device and you move it into a collection on one of them, then it will also be moved into the same collection on your other device(s) - but it won't copy PDFs (or epubs/ibooks) to the other device if it's not already on there.
    If they aren't on your computer then if though they aren't iTunes purchases you should be able to copy them over from the first iPad via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

  • Why won't the date and time stay in the menu bar?

    I just installed 10.6.2 and even when I use System Preferences to check the box in the Date/Time panel they flicker and disappear from the menu bar. Why won't the Date and Time stay in the Menu Bar? Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Doesn't any bring up the fact that Apple has so many customers with problems that the refuse to help unless you pay them cash? They update you and screw you over and then offer no useful troubleshooting scenarioius to help their millions of customers. It is because they want millions of our dollars. I hate Apple.

  • HT1657 Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

    Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

    It won't let me download iOS 7.  When I check for software updates it says that it is up to date.  I also went to iTunes to delete the songs from the iPod, but now it isn't even recognizing any devices.  I even uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it to my computer.  LOL  I am sure it is something small, but I don't have the patience for it now.  Maybe I should step away from the computer and come back in a little bit...    Thank you for the advice though!  Keep it coming!  I know it is hard to diagnose over the internet, but any ideas help!

  • Why doesn't the Southwest Airlines DING app work?  I'm not getting any DING's.  Are they issuing none?  I used to get them on my mac but no more there, either

    Why doesn't the Southwest Airlines DING app work on my iPhone or iPad?  It used to work on my mac computer, but no more.  Are they shutting it down, or just not issuing many special fares? 

    Ask Southwest Airlines... it's their app.

  • Messages and FaceTime not working

    Messages and FaceTime on my MacBook Pro OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 are no longer working. When opened an error message saying an internal error occurred and messages/FaceTime should be quit and reopened appears. I've tried this and the same message appears. I can't open preferences for messages or FaceTime now and have tried other trouble shooting recommended. I can still use both on my iPad and iPhone with the same iCloud account.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test iMessage while in safe mode. FaceTime won't work. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Why won't the iOS 5 Music App show lyrics that I added to iTunes?

    The iOS 5 Music App won't allow you to view lyrics.

    I just did some poking around on other Apple forums here and found a recommendation for an app which actually does take the embedded lyrics from iTunes and display them on the iPad. It's been around since November, so I don't know why I never saw it before. I'm posting the information about it on several threads so that others are aware of it. It's called Lyrics View and it works well. The only quibbles I have with it are that it doesn't display the title, which the Music app used to do automatically, and when you switch out of the current song it takes you to Songs rather than Artists or Albums, so you have to change to Artists if you want to hear someone else.
    It also displays the lyrics with the first lines all the way at the top of the screen, so they are sometimes hard to see behind the progress indicator, but you can make the indicator disappear with a click.
    At least there's a workaround until Apple fixes this, assuming that they do.

  • Why won't the messages stop?!?

    I was woken at 0331 this-morning by a message from Telstra telling me that I have used 50% of my data allowance. There was a second, identical message at 0430. A third message at 0526, at which stage I angrily logged in to my account and turned notifications off. Despite turning notifications off, the messages have continued to arrive on my phone; at 0557, 0635, 0720, and the latest at 0744. I'm getting really, really pissed-off now, Telstra, for two reasons: 1. Why the hell does your system send people messages at 3.30a.m.?  In what universe is that even possibly acceptable?  It's not an emergency, it's a data-usage notification, and it is unbelievably inconsiderate to be sending people messages like that in the middle of the bloody night. 2. Why the hell haven't the messages stopped since I turned off the notifications? I shall await a reply, and I do hope said reply is more helpful than the robo-script replies I got from Telstra's email contact a few weeks ago when I had the same problem of SMS notifications arriving in the middle of the night! Totally unsatisfactory, Telstra.

    Well I am not 100% sure how it works however let’s say you were using data last night and you went through 50%, 75% and then 100% of your data. 5 hours later in the middle of the night it sends you a 50% data usage message, 5 minutes after that it sends you a 75% usage message and so on and so forth. It’s not an ideal system because of the delay however I guess if you weren’t to get the messages people would be unhappy about that as well. The delay in the usage is the problem. 

  • Newbee: messages and Facetime stopped working

    I got my referbished Ipod 4th gen May 2nd. I used facetime and messaging both ways to my son, I didnt try again untill Today, Now I get, not delevered on any messages except to myself and nobody else can message me either facetime times out and nobody can call me. I can use the net and email without problems I can also use talkaton to make ip calls without problems. I have to assume it has something to do with my apple account. I tried to restore defaults but no help.

    I found the answer, For Others. I had to change my DNS server to google. 8.8.8.8
    Then everything worked. I must have done it when I first got it and reset it later.\But now my dns is 8.8.8.8

  • Why won't the Flickr uploader PSE 8 work right on Vista or Windows 7?

    I used to upload photos using PSE 6 to Flickr on Windows XP machine all the time w/o problems. Recently after buying a new computer, PSE 8, and Vista 64 bit I get a message that says there is a problem. I more recently upgraded to Windows 7, 64 bit, same issue.
    As far as I can tell there is no Firewall issue as everything else works fine and sometimes on picture will upload, but not more than one. Does anyone know of a setting I need to look at?
    Thanks
    Jim

    Hi,
    Can you please try lowering the Security Settings in Internet Explorer? Go to Tools -> Internet Explorer -> Security Tab. Lower the settings and click Apply and then OK. Relaunch Organizer and try the workflow again.
    Also, please recheck that the Windows Firewall is turned off.
    Thanks,
    Tarun
