FIX: iMessage/Messages Mac pictures not downloading
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- This is a fix for people experiencing an issue with Messages/iMessage after upgrading to Yosemite where you are not able to view/download picture and video MMS messages. View in HD for best results.
Running Mojave I deleted all the attachments folder, and all the files with .db in the message folder and it works again for me. Thanks for the video
The Messages folder showed a folder called "attachments" rather than just one file.
I deleted the folder, and now all previous images sent are not viewable or downloadable. Please include the warning of the possibility of this happening in the description, in order to help others avoid my mistake and copy this folder to another location first.
Thank you,
Geoff
Just a heads up: it won't load images or videos that were sent before you perform this fix. Seems to only affect images/videos that are incoming afterwards...just so your expectations are set.
+Andrew Himmer Thank you for this comment, I though it didn't work at first!!!
Worked!! Thanks so much. It only fixes future pictures coming in. Not currently sent pics for anyone else trying.
I had a file named Attachment, but no file extension. Deleted it, relaunched iMessage, and sent my self a picture. When I received it, a folder named Attachment was created, and the image appeared correctly in iMessage Thanks!
Thank you so much! this did the trick! I've been looking on Mac forums and I would get so lost in the jargon, but this is wonderful! thanks!
Great! So glad it worked!
I have a chat.db, chat.db-Shm, chat.db-Wal, chat.importbackup.db, chat.import...ckup-dB-Shm,, and chat.importbackup.db-Wal Should they all be deleted?
legend! worked.
Hi I upgraded to high sierra and not "attachments.db" doc is present. All I see is a Attachments folder. I delete it and it comes back, I am still not able to send pictures which makes working on a mac a nightmare. Can anyone help? thanks,
Hey i did this and made a new folder and the problem is still there. Any suggestions?
i used this method and deleted the attachments folder & then emptied the trash and it still didnt work?
same
do not see an attachment.db
I don't either what do we do if we don't have an attachments.db folder ?
Tried this, there was an attachments folder, not a file. Deleted file, didn't work. Created new attachments file, didn't work. Logged in and out of iCloud, didn't work. Cannot send or receive any images. Running Sierra. Pls Help.

Thank you! This did the trick.
Awesome! So glad it worked for you
iMessage isn’t working at all now. Thanks for nothing
This worked for me too. Thanks!
Awesome! So glad it worked for you
this isn't working for me. running el capitan. issue started under yosemite. i've tried every trick listed on the internet, including this one but the problems persists.
What exactly is the problem you're having
+Cheyenne Roohani i cannot send or receive images or video in apple messages. this started happening after installing yosemite and persists in el capitan. i drag and drop into the chat window and the image immediately appears in the chat window on my end but the intended recipient never gets it. the transfer bar at the top never appears either. i can send images/multimedia just fine to SMS chats in messages, no problems there. they do not show up in the file transfer history window either.
Thank you! Fixed my problem!
+Adam Besserman Awesome! So glad it worked for you!
I still can't view pictures sent to me on the messages app:/
OMG You're a life saver!
Hi, I'd love to know how to do the opposite of this! I use a Mac for my work computer and love chatting with my friends but don't want to worry about anyone sending any risque images. Is there a way I can set Mac Messenger to no download images?
Travis Myers I'm not aware of a method of just blocking images. Your best bet is probably to keep your computer closed when you're not sitting there so that no messages come up when you're away from your computer
I cant seem to find options when I click on "GO" when I'm on finder? help?
+hassan cheeseballkhalid When you click on GO when you are in Finder, press the option key on your keyboard. There are two option keys on the keyboard, one in the bottom left and another in the bottom right hand corner of your keyboard.They are directly adjacent to the Command keys on either side of the space bar.
Hey thanks man! Worked for me :)
+Coffee That Sweet! Glad it worked!
macOS Sierra, and I have this problem. However there is no "library" tab or anything.
Jeremiah Bray I have sierra now as well. I just checked and was able to follow the steps. When you click on the "go" tab at the top you need to hold down the option key and the library option will show up. It's a hidden menu item. You can only see it when you hold down option
Cheyenne Roohani ohh I see! Thanks!
can also go to user home directory and the library folder appears there!
this was helpful thank you
tecx37 glad that it was helpful!

How to fix for iPhone users?
If you're having an issue getting pictures on your iPhone that's a completely different issue
like for me when i get sent pics and vids it tells me to tap to download, then either they get to 100% and never show the item, or it never tries to download and i still dont get the image
+Marc Gaskins go to your iPhone settings go to messages and deactivate iMessage then reactive ate it. restart your phone and update it as well
It didn't work
This didn't work
