What you have is an invalid or corrupted BAG file. Here is the fix:


1) Completely exit out of Messages

2) Open the user's Library folder via the Option key + Go menu method

3) Navigate to the user's Preferences folder

4) Carefully drag the file com.apple.imessage.bag.plist to the trash

5) Close the Preferences folder window

6) Empty the trash

7) Relaunch Messages and try again


You will be prompted - just follow the prompts


Voila

Since she does not have iOS 6, you can only Message here by using the email address(s) specified on here iPod in Setting>Messages>Send and receive


When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID. If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow this article.

I am having a similar problem. I can not text my husband or son from my iPad mini. I get the "is not registered with imessage" error. It makes no sense because 1) I text them all the time from this device 2) I text them successfully earlier today & 3) they are both set up for iMessage.


This is irritating because there are several posts on discussions about this but not one logical fix. It has to be something on Apple's end.

I'm having the same issue. I'm able to successfully send and receive messages from my iPhone to this person, I'm also able to recieve their messages via my MacBook Pro & iPhone. I don't see my sent messages in my iPhone message feed as I normally do. This has got to be some sort of bug as I was speaking to this person yesterday with no issue. I've yet to send or receive messages from anyone else from my Macbook Pro, though I don't have anything to say. hah.
