Messages stopped working on Macbook Pro; no messages showing

Yesterday I abruptly lost the ability to send texts/iMessages from my Macbook Pro. My iPhone is working fine. I tried some of the troubleshooting steps, including:


  • restarting my Mac
  • updating my Mac system software;
  • signing out of messages on Mac, then signing back in;
  • signing out of Messages on both devices, then signing back in;
  • confirming that both devices are signed into my Apple account;
  • syncing with iCloud messages;


Now I have no messages showing on my Mac at all. Incoming messages show in the sidebar but when I click on them, the main Messages window says "no message selected" and the sidebar indicator vanishes. Any ideas what's going on?
