I get messages on my iPod so I know people reply but when I look on my mac iMessage I don't have the messages. Same account everything its like my mac isn't receiving push notifications. Is there anyway to "reboot" iMessage on mac. I quit and open. I've signed out and signed back in on Accounts but nothing seems to work.
Thankyou for your help.
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences
com.apple.iChat.plist and com.apple.iChat.StatusMessages.plist. Move the .plists to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plists from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plists to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
Hi,
Can you Send from the Mac ?
Do the Contacts names go red every time you try them in the 'to Spot to Start a conversation ? (Not Registered message)
Or do you get an alert under the text you just sent that read "Not Delivered"
After that check the Contacts app on both are syncing.
NOTE.
com.apple.ichat.StatusMessages.plist only contains this info
It is the info in this drop down
This side has nothing to do with the iMessages accounts.
The same menu appears in the Menu Bar Drop down (if you display it) and the Messages > My Status item.
You could try deleting com.apple.imagent.plist as this holds all the accounts that Login in Messages and FaceTime and may give it an suitable "restart"
