Q: Messages app on mac stopped working
When I got on my iMac the other day it asked me to log into my iCloud account for the Messages app, which I thought was odd because I have been logged in since the day I got my mac. When I went to open the Messages app it said no conversations started and was not connected to my text message forwarding anymore.
When I have the Messages app open and I try to go to messages > preferences I can't because it is greyed out and I cannot click on preferences. If I go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding on my iPhone and try to select my Mac from the list it will not pop up the verification code on my Mac for me to enter. I have tried making sure my iCloud email is selected in my send and receive and that has not worked either. I didn't do an update or anything on my Mac before the Messages app stopped working, and I tried making sure that all of my updates were completed after to see if that would fix that problem and that didnt fix it either. I'm at a loss on how to fix it now.
