I did a clean install on my desktop and trying to get my iMessage history to load. iMessage is syncing to the cloud. I have signed out of all devices and signed back in, but still do not have all previous messages loaded on the desktop which has a newly installed Catalina?
iMessages works fiune and has all histroy on two other devices, a laptop and my iPhone.
Thanks for all suggestions,
Henry

Hello Henry Cline1,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding that your message history isn't loading on your iMac. You've done a great job trying to get this resolved. I'm happy to help.
I recommend testing the issue while in safe mode. Starting in safe mode allows your Mac to run certain checks, remove caches, and prevent login items from automatically launching. This can isolate possible third party issues. Use the steps and information in the link below for assistance with safe mode:

If the issue persists, test in another user account. This will help determine if the issue is user specific or system wide.

Let us know the results. Please include specific error messages and any other troubleshooting steps that you may have never tried.
Have a nice day!
I guess it just needed time as the history is now showing up in my feed. thanks!
