Q: Messages won't start

Hi there,

 

I don't seem to be able to start Messages on Mavericks: The following message is received. I already ran utility to check for dependencies, also I reinstalled the OS. Nothing worked so far. Kindly find my logs below:

    I'm logged in as an admin. However, the logs was when running the command as a root (sudo). Otherwise, the app won't start.

    You should never run that application as root. Please post a brief log extract showing what happens when you try to launch it in the usual way.

    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages

    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

              View ▹ Show Log List

    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to launch the application. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.

     

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

     

    Step 1

     

    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.

     

    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”

     

    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.

     

    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?

     

    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.

     

    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

     

    Step 2

     

    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.

      

    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.

     

    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.

       

    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.

     

    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.

     

    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.

     

    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?

     

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

    Thank you for the prompt respond. Step 1 works fine, I can log in to Messages. For step 2, even in safe mode, Messages don't start up.

     

    I was actually having some doubts for my contacts account being messed up. So, I deleted these accounts and I did set them up back. Messages still can't come up, and the following are some lines from the log:

    Back up all data.

    Quit Messages if it’s running. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it and test after each of the following steps. If the problem isn't resolved, quit again and go on to the next step.

    Step 1

     

    Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:

     

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

     

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

     

    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.

     

    Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name. Log out and log back in.

    Step 2

    Hold down the option key and select

              Go Library

    from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):

     

              Caches/com.apple.Messages

              Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent

              Containers/com.apple.iChat

              Containers/com.apple.soagent

              IdentityServices

    Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in.

    Step 3

    Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:

              Messages

    Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”

    If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place.

    Step 4

    In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:

              com.apple.iChat

              com.apple.ids

              com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore

              com.apple.imessage

              com.apple.imservice

    Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.

    Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.

    Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.

    If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post your results.

    If you later decide that you don’t like the results of Steps 3 and 4, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

    I was able to complete the fix by executing step #3, so what do you think was the root cause for that?

    Some sort of corrupt data.
