Read Status of messages not synching to iMac

Read Status of messages not synching to iMac- I have read an old thread- no one seems to be able to solve this. Has anyone found a solution? I have spent hours multiple times with Apple Support and they can't solve

iMac, OS X 10.11

Have no problems there.


Try the following: boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support and see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and check again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
