Hi zalisha145,


It is not easy to guess what you require.

Which Mac model, or device model and OS version are you using ?

What happens when you try to use messages ... eg: can you log-in ok or not ... else is there an error message if you try to send.

What have you already tried ... eg: have you tried restarting / followed any / all / of the links provided above.


All the best :-)
