    iMessages not syncing after international travel

    I set up an international plan for my phone while I was traveling to Switzerland for 2 weeks. My iMessages worked on my phone the entire time I was away, and still do now that I'm back home. When I returned, however, none of the Messages on my mac are syncing up. The last messages were from the...

    Deleted iMessage Conversation

    It is hard for me to believe how easy it is to mistakenly delete an entire iMessage conversation. I was sending a video by iMessage that was not going through and bogging down the conversation, so I decided to delete it. I pressed on the video until the "Copy/Save/More" box opened, selected...

    iMessage Deregistration headache

    Since switching from my iPhone to my brand new LG V10, I've had numerous issues with people still texting me via iMessage. It's been a major headache and, sometimes texts go through as a SMS and other-times they still go in as a iMessage (and of course I do not receive them). The worst case is...

    Incredibly frustrating iMessage activation issue

    I recently purchased a second hand iPad Mini 3, as an upgrade from the original iPad Mini. When I try to activate iMessage with my Apple ID, it will return that there was an error in activating. When I try to activate iMessage on the new iPad with my brother's Apple ID, it works. When I try to...

    SMS on iPad fails

    Over the past week on my iPad Pro 12.9" I lost the ability to send SMS messages to non apple users. I still receive all iMessages and SMS (green bubbles) from individuals who have an iPhone/Apple device but if they are on android or another platform my iPad has stopped sending and receiving...

    Automatically clear old Messages

    In the process of doing some spring cleaning I had a thought - Is there a way (even if it's through an Apple script or something) to clear out old iMessages on OS X like there is on iOS? It's easy to set 30 days or a year on iOS, but I can't find any similar setting on OS X. I know my laptop...

    iMessage send as text and delivered

    Hi, I was wondering how to confirm if an imessage that I sent a person 24 hours ago did not actually go through. It does not say "delivered" at the bottom like iMessages normally do, it is definitely an imessage (says imessage at the top and is blue), and when I press and hold down on it, it...

    Lack of consistency in Read Receipts for iMessage in notifications?

    As you all are aware, you can turn on Read Receipts for iMessage. When you open a thread and view a message, it'll be shown as Read to the person who sent you the message. However if you see the message on the lock screen and decide to swipe on it and hit the "x", it'll appear as Read as well...

    Reset to Factory Settings but keep iMessages?

    Hi, I have a late 2014 rMBP and I really want a fresh start. However I don't want a fresh start with my iMessages. I know there are applications you can download to view past messages off your iPhone and stuff but I want the native Messages app on my MacBook to still have my messages. I have...
