I can't see message history on my Macbook Pro.

Messages dissapear on my macbook after a few minutes. The senders name or number remains but the message is blank. My iphone number is enabled under preferences. Running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

Hi,


Might be corrupted Messages preferences (.plist)



Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder


Type or copy / paste the following:


~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.messaging.expire.plist


Click Go then move the com.apple.messaging.expire.plist file to the Trash.



Restart your Mac then empty the Trash. Then launch the Messages app to see if that helped.
