Mac OS X 10.11.4: problems of iMessage and FaceTime after upgrade

During the week Apple has released to the public the stable version of Mac OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan, but for some users the upgrade process has brought to light some problems. Not a few loyal to the brand of apple that report in the official forum the inability to make access to iMessage and FaceTime services. The unexpected behavior of the software has been tested by all after upgrading to the latest version of El Capitan.


According to the many comments that are read on the official, many forum users are greeted by an error message in authentication when you try to access one of the two services. Others instead indicate that the authentication procedure gives signals to be gone through but in reality is never completed without presenting any warning. This problem seems to occur mainly for those who have installed the update on a clean machine.

The various users have tried to get around this with various measures: install the operating system from scratch, disable the firewall or enable the authentication system to two steps, but neither of these procedures, however, seems to bring the desired results. A Canadian member contacted at first the service of Apple service, it was informed that the company was aware of the problem and already working on a possible solution.

The situation could not be resolved even by performing a downgrade to a newer version of the operating system. It appears that the bug was not resident in the latter code, but in the company's official servers. And in fact Apple, after reporting the problem on the Status page of the services, has reported in recent hours as solved. It seems that the problem has returned with an update performed server side.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
