iMessage on Mac not sendind

Intermittently - I will be using iMessage on my 27" iMac - and sometimes it will send messages, other times it wont. I receive messages. When I do attempt to send messages - it never inidactes that it was delivered or that it failed. It sits there. When I grab my phone and send the same message it works and I get it on my iMac...I have necounteres this issue while in-use - meaning, everything is working fine all morning then inexplicably, it stops working.

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.


To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...


Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.


Does it work in the new account?
