    Handoff Not Working...no matter what

    Hey, guys! Hoping someone here can help me. I'm the proud new owner of a retina Macbook (early 2015) and I absolutely love it. I'd like to say that it's been problem free, but I can't- Handoff just isn't working! I logged into iCloud using the same Apple ID on my iPhone (iPhone 6S, iOS 9.3.3)...

    Apple can't activate iMessage on MacPro 1.1

    Hello there, I installed El Capitan on my Mac Pro 1.1 a while ago, but never used iMessages or Facetime. Now I have bought an iPhone and wanted to activate iMessages on the Mac Pro, too. As mentioned in the thread about running El Capitan on the Mac Pro 1.1 iMessage and Facetime did not work...

    Universal iMessage History and multiple devices

    I think I know the answer to this, but I wanted to check before making the switch and losing my history. So, I have iMessages and texts getting delivered to both my iPhone and my Mac. I noticed recently though that Messages on my iPhone is taking up over 4GB of space. I have it set to keep...

    iMessage just did a trick similar to Google on Tap

    I was talking to a friend about going to New York to see Hamilton, when I typed the name "Lin-Manuel Miranda" and sent it on a message I noticed the name was underlined which seemed a bit odd so I decided to tap on it, a window showed with a "quick search" on Lin-Manuel showing links to...

    Group Texts Gone Wild

    Lately, since the last update I believe, several of my group text message conversations behave very oddly. It seems that almost every time someone responds, my iPhone 6 receives it and starts a new conversation thread. It's the same people talking about the same topic, but each time someone...

    iMessage Apps

    Howdy! I just downloaded the iOS 10 beta. I was disappointed that iMessage only came with the 'Classic Mac' stickers (which, don't get me wrong, are pretty great). Is there any way to add any more apps currently (such as the Disney stickers from the keynote)? Thanks ;)

    iOS 10 quick reply from lock screen issue

    Anyone else having issues with quick reply from the lock screen where the input box and send button do not show up making it impossible to reply? Keyboard, predictive words and the users message show but not the input box. Happens about 3 out of 10 times.

    iMessage Replying

    For a while now, I've noticed on my iPhone 6s Plus, when replying to an iMessage, sometimes I need to click into the reply field, quite a few times. Often I click in the middle of the reply field, sometimes to the left side. Most annoying that it doesn't seem to work on the first try. Has...

    iOS 9 iMessage/SMS blocking question

    Hi guys, On older versions of iOS (7 and 8) when you blocked someone they would be sent to VM after one ring and with messages if they had an iPhone it would just show as blue but would never displayed "delivered" If someone blocks you in iOS 9, I have read that it will display "delivered" but...

    Are App Specific Passwords no longer required for Apple Apps?

    I specifically mean for iMessage and FaceTime. I recently set up a new iPhone, and prior to doing so, I changed my iCloud password. Consequently, the app specific passwords that I had set up (iMessage, FaceTime and Fantastical) were all revoked. However when setting up iMessage, FaceTime and...

    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...

    I recently sold my old iphone and got a notification today that the phone was using my imessage. I erased all content but it seems I should have turned off iMessage before selling but I didnt. I dont know how they would even know my password to sign into my account. But my real question is...

    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...
