Attachments are not sent from Messages

They appear in my Messages app but not delivered.

This is not a new problem but has been happening since the computer was new.

Not able to send documents in iMessage on MacBook Pro I cannot send documents such as Excel or pdf in iMessage on my MacBook Pro. If I insert a document, such as a spreadsheet or small pdf file, I get a red error message saying "not delivered" no matter who the recipient is. This only started a few months ago. There is no problem at all with photos or videos sending in iMessage on Mac. I have all the latest updates and OS installed on my Mac, and no other issues.

iMessage/message attachments disappearing on MacBook Pro Hi all. On my 2022 MacBook Pro, Ventura 13.2, in messages (what used to be known as iMessages) if I text or someone texts me an attachment, it shows up at first and then goes away after 12 hours or so, or if I close out of the message app. The attachment then shows up as a white paper with the corner folded over and i can't open them on the computer. They are still on my iPhone and I can open them there too. Also I have an older MacBook and they show up on that too with no problem. I have been working with Apple for weeks now, with them pulling off date from my computer for the engineers to look at. Still no fix. Kind of a bummer as my first new laptop in a while and it doesn't work 100%. Maybe Im asking too much. Does anyone else have this issues? Any fixes? Cheers

Sending mail with large attachments I tried sending mail yesterday and its not in draft, not in bin or junk or sent mail. In the bottom left hand corner is a tine area saying Sending Message 212.1 MB - that's not the size of the document i tried to send. How can I stop this or clear this sending message any idea?

How are you trying to do this and what do you mean by "attachments" exactly?

AFAIK attachments can't be sent using Messages, you send attachments via email. Messages can send files as per this article: Insert files from iPhone or iPad in your messages on Mac – Apple Support (UK)

Is that what you mean?
