1. Check your Mac’s Internet Connection to ensure it is functioning

The iMessage app needs a strong internet connection to function correctly. Ensure that your computer is connected to a trustworthy network as soon as you launch iMessage because it frequently checks for updates from Apple servers.

Watching a streaming service like a YouTube video is the simplest way to determine if your internet connection is strong. You may have a sluggish connection that can’t support iMessage if the video keeps freezing (or buffering).

2. Reset NVRAM

Some Macs use NVRAM (nonvolatile random-access memory), a form of memory, to store specific settings so that they may be accessed fast. Included in these settings are:

  • Time zone
  • Startup-disk selection
  • Sound volume
  • Display resolution

  • Before attempting to reset NVRAM on your Mac, you should first remove any firmware passcodes or passwords that may be present.

3. Confirm you’re using the right Apple ID

You may use the wrong Apple ID if you have more than one. Check that your Apple ID login and password are accurate by opening your favorite browser and visiting the company’s main login page.

Use the same Apple ID username and password for your iMessage account. If you can sign in successfully, you can exit your iMessage account and sign back in with your Apple ID username and password. This is how:

  • Navigate to Messages.
  • Click on Preferences.
  • Select Accounts.
  • Click Sign Out after choosing your iMessage account.
  • Re-sign with the Apple ID username and password you entered to access the Apple main login page.

4. Installing macOS updates

It’s best to practice keeping your system updated whether or not you’re experiencing issues. It’s even more important to install any pending updates your Mac may require now that you’re having a problem with one of its critical applications.

Although iMessage server issues are rare, they did happen at some point. So there’s always a risk that an Apple service outage may be to blame for the iMessage problem on your Mac. Visit their website to find out the status of Apple services in your area.

Remember that the status displayed on this site is not real-time. Even though the website indicates that iMessage is up, it’s down while you’re accessing it because data are collected and presented every few minutes. Try returning to the website in 10 or 15 minutes to check on the status of iMessage once more.
