Q: Messages Not Working in Mavericks 10.9
Hi there,
Anyone else having this problem? My Messages is just not working. I am logged in. It lets me type a message, but then it just sits there and a few minutes later I get the red circle/ "!" saying it didn't go through. I've tried logging in and out of Messages. Restarting the computer of course. Nothing. I'm stuck. I can't find another post on this so anyone else having this issue?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Ok - so I went to the Genius Bar again today - the guy was stumped - his usual things didn't work and this guy seemed pretty sharp. So, the only solution for me was to wipe my computer, start over with a clean install, and MANUALLY copy from time machine my files (instead of letting it do it automatically) so that we wouldn't accidentally copy whatever 'bug' was going on back onto my laptop. This worked. I'm now reinstalling about 500 gigs back onto my laptop step by step. Fun. Thanks everyone for trying to help!
