I shut down my Intel iMac every night at 11 pm. When I turn the iMac back on in the morning and launch the Messages App, it doesn’t display any messages that arrived during the night while the iMac was off. Conversely, when I check my iPhone, I find all the messages waiting for me, but they never appear on the iMac, regardless of how long I wait.
As long as the iMac is powered on, messages are sent and received simultaneously on both devices. This indicates that the settings on my iPhone 11, iMac, and Apple iCloud are properly configured. However, it seems that once I shut down the iMac and restart it, it fails to fetch any messages from the cloud.
I wonder if anyone else has experienced this issue. Each time I reboot the iMac in the morning, the Messages App is empty, although my iPhone shows the messages that came in overnight. This continual lack of synchronization between the devices after a shutdown leads me to believe that the iMac isn’t retrieving messages from the cloud as it should.
It’s frustrating because everything works perfectly while the iMac is on, suggesting that the problem only arises after a shutdown. If others have encountered this same issue, I would appreciate hearing about your experiences and any solutions you may have found. It’s essential to resolve this, as seamless communication across devices is one of the key benefits of using Apple products.
