Messages Quit Unexpectedly

My messages will not open all of a sudden, and it keeps saying "messages quit unexpectedly." Should I take it in to the apple store/best buy or is it an easy fix to either do on here or on the phone?

With the application completely closed.


Hold the SHIFT key and then click the icon for Messages from the applications folder


This is a Safe Launch of Only the Application


Still having issues >>


1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading 


3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.


Still having issues, reply back for more suggestions
