Q: iMessages disappearing after full harddrive
Hi!
Running:
Mid 2011 iMac with Yosemite, 10.10.5.
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7.
16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
One 250GB Flash disk, and one 2TB SATA disk.
My start up disk became full and all my iMessages disappeared on the iMac. I have since freed up space on the primary drive. Now, new messages are visible only until I close the iMessage window. The old ones still seem to be present in the Messages folder. Doesn't look like the new ones are being saved there, since they disappear right away.
I'm not especially concerned about restoring the old messages to the app (although it would be nice), but would love to get iMessages working on the iMac reliably again going forward.
Let me know if you have any suggestions! I haven't updated the OS because I'm worried this old iMac may not be able to handle it, especially since the start up disk is this 250GB SSD.
Thanks in advance!
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
