My iMessage's are still not in order... oh well.


I have almost no issues with iMessage on my iPhone. On my iMac and Air, it is nothing short of a POS. Message order out of whack and the constant hanging. It's like it has a memory leak.

Think you have a defective one, friend. I've never had a kernel panic on mine. I've never had so much as a kernel sneeze, for that matter.

sorry but i need to vent..... Apple sucks. I thought by now they would listen to us...but they're still deaf. fix slowdown and other major problems.


I have had NO issues with any of my Apple computers since 2006. I'd imagine you're one of the 0.1% who is running some particular software causing some issue. My computers are not slow at all, very speedy. Even my 2006 MacBook is running fine.

Even though YOU are having problems, the silent majority of us are very happy and pleased.

It's looking to me that new messages are ordered correctly, but existing ones aren't re-parsed.

Reinstall OS X after deleting your former partition. Install all updates and shutdown, then repeat the process for every new app you install until you find the problem.

If you can't do that, then shut up and stop bothering people with a problem that may have about a million possibilities. THAT IS INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. :(

Thanks.


Whats really annoying is tactless posts.

Thanks.
