    Phantom message alert

    Hi. A couple of weeks back I noticed that my iPad Pro was showing that i’d got an unread message but when I went to check there wasn’t! It’s been like that since, irrespective of the fact that i’ve deleted all messages. I’ve also googled this and followed recommendations of closing message...

    Messages Has Died

    It must be that I am not supposed to be communicating with anyone! First my iPhone, and now this: On the 27th, for no apparent reason, the Messages app simply stopped working on my desktop computer, macOS High Sierra. I get zero messages on it, and although I can send messages and it give me a...

    recent Messages bugs

    As of this morning, I have no Messages icon in the menu bar of my late-2012 iMac running 10.13.6. Also, I can't change MY STATUS from OFFLINE. When I try to do so, it simply defaults back to OFFLINE. I've tried resetting PRAM, restarting, to no avail. I am able to receive and respond to texts...

    Can't select and copy text in Messages app

    Prior to upgrading to iCloud Messages, I could select specific parts of text messages in Messages on my Mac, and copy them. Now, I can only select and copy the entire message. This is very inconvenient. I have 2-factor authentication set up for many of my online accounts, so I often receive...

    Is the sync button for iCloud Messages doing anything?

    Hi, I have 3 devices (iPhone, iPad and a 2017 MacBook) where iMessages in iCloud is working perfectly (sync/delete across all devices). I recently started to use my old MacBook Pro as a media center / NAS / spare machine. I decided to log in into iCloud with that old machine because well, it's...

    How to migrate my messages from a none-iCloud to an iCloud Apple ID?

    I have had two Apple IDs for ages, one for the iTunes Store and one for iCloud. The one for the iTunes Store uses an email address that wasn't provided by Apple, especially since there was no iCloud when I first started using iTunes. Unfortunately, I've been using this Apple ID also for the...

    I updated all my idevices last night and enabled Messages in iCloud on my iPhone 8 and waited for it to upload. I then went to my Mac and applied all updates (only update was for itunes).

    Does disabling iMessage in the Cloud work and download messages?

    I have been unable to find a solution and not able to independently verify this for myself. I am on iOS 11.4 Beta 1. I was on iOS 11.3 Beta and became uncomfortable when iOS 11.3 was released without iMessages. I have all my messages from 2008 onwards but care mainly about those from 2016 on...

    Messages in iCloud not found in Messages App

    I want to see my iMessages ( which are stored in iCloud available to my iOS devices ) in my macOS Messages app. I can't seem to get this working.

    iPhone Downloading SMS / Messages to a pdf or text file

    All I want to do is download a conversation of iMessages into a text file from my iPhone onto a PC. Does anyone know of a free way to do that? Actually Apple should provide a utility to do that, I shouldn't need to buy a third party utility to do it. Many thanks in advance

    Clean start for my 6S, but want to keep Health and message history

    So I’ve been bouncing between iPhone models for a few months to try different sizes, and I finally decided to land on a 6S. On each transition, I just backed up the current phone and then restored the new phone from the backup. From what I gather, this can eventually lead to random problems. I...
