Error message when trying to open Messages.
Just upgraded to Mountain Lion (10.8) yesterday. Messages won't open. Reports "An Internal Messages error occurred. There was a problem with Messages. You need to quit and open Messages again."
Console shows: 7/29/12 8:53:41.594 PM Messages[834]: [Warning] Bad response from daemon for setup info
Anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this?
I did have iChat in a subdirectory within applications, but the install blew it away. Some arcane .plist somewhere?
Oh, also I had system prefs in "Utilities" directory and it did not get blown away by the new install. Instead, it remained behind and I had to remove it as root user, leaving the correct system prefs in "Applications."
MacBook Pro 2008; 6 gb ram; hybrid SSD/SATA drive; OS X 10.8. Can't think of anything else to include that might be relevant. Ask if I forgot something, and I'll post it.
Any assistance that you may provide in resolving this little glitch would be sincerely appreciated. 🙂
