Nov 10, 2014 5:10 PM in response to Ralph Johns (UK)by assadas,Apple Gothic is installed and validates for me.
I've also tried a number of different variations of these:
rm -rf /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IMCore.framework
rm -rf /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MessagesHelperKit.framework
rm -rf /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MessagesKit.framework
rm -rf /Users/hernanc/Library/Messages
rm -rf /Users/hernanc/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat
rm -rf /Users/hernanc/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat
rm -rf /Users/hernanc/Library/Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
Yeah I might have gone crazy shooting down everything that resembled iChat or Messenger...
None of them worked BUT, if I create a new user and load Messages with it, it loads up just fine!! So it has to be something in my home folder that's messed up. I've made sure I have the right permissions, fixed permissions using the Disk Helper... I'm completely clueless.Thanks for your help!

Nov 11, 2014 11:50 AM in response to assadasby Ralph Johns (UK),Hi,
rm -rf /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IMCore.framework
rm -rf /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MessagesHelperKit.framework
rm -rf /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MessagesKit.framework
Without these the app will not run.
Removing the IMCore one also removes the IMAgent app which is used for FaceTime as well.
The App will not work in a text Mac User account account either now.
Your only option is to Reinstall the OS (which will give you back those needed items).
There are only two fixes I have seen to the "updating" problem.
One is checking the Font. The other is renaming the Attachments folder.

Nov 16, 2014 3:01 AM in response to John Leppby Beyo,Ok one solution that worked for me is as follow. However I still cannot access my old messages on fresh new install Yosemite even if I copied them from previous system.
Using Terminal or iTerm and need sqlite3 installed.
1.Enter ~/Library/Messages
2. You will see chat.db file and two additional files -sh and -wal. You have to merge them.How?
sqlite3 chat.db - you enter sqlite3 interactive command mode
enter command VACUUM;
type ".exit"
data will merge and you should be able to run Messages.
