• Unable to send iMessages synced with my phone, can receive

  I have a MacBook Pro and a reason is more send my iMessages who are in sync with my phone. I get all my messages again, but when I try and send them I get Red! I deleted my account and added to new and has not worked. Please help and thank you!

  Hello

  Consider that on the iPhone > settings > Messages > Send and Receive that identifier Apple and iPhone number are active?

  I take it on the Mac in Messages > Preferences > accounts > account number iPhone iMessages both the Apple ID are defined as items to receive to?

  IF you check the spot 'To' can you can ID or iPhone number says Mac versions you are connected to your contact?

  Is agree with the version of the iPhone?

  In some cases you will look at the synchronization on one than the other version to not connected correctly.

  Let's say for instance that the settings of the iPhone say iPhone number is not checked (it happens sometimes even if you can not change).

  After awhile, the number is de-registered and then no synchronization with the Mac as Apple and the iPhone number will become linked.

  There is a kind of time halfway house in the Middle before the number becomes derigestered where only partial sync works.

  It can be paid for sign out of the Apple ID on the two reset then the iPhone number (wait until it checks) prior to the addition of the Apple ID and turn it back on again on the Mac.

  Accept the pop ups of the iPhone on what it uses.

• All my messages on my iPhone were mysteriously deleted after I restarted - is it possible to sync my old backup iPhone with my iMessages on my Mac?

  Hello!

  This past weekend, I noticed that my Messages app acted strangely on my iPhone 6. Accordingly, I turned and turn it on again and noticed that all of my posts have disappeared. I then did a hard reset and turned on - still no messages.

  I have my settings to keep my messages forever, what really saddened me to see all of my messages disappeared. In any case, I'm about to restore my backup iPhone on a new phone (6 s). Luckily, I backed up my phone the week last before my messages disappearing.

  I understand that when I restore a backup, everything that happened on my phone since will not appear. However, I have also the Messages on my MacBook Air app, when kept all my messages before and after the mysterious disappearance on my phone. Once I have perform this restore, I was wondering if it is possible to synchronize in any post-restore on my laptop to my phone messages.

  Thank you!

  Hi masizh,

  Congratulations on your new iPhone 6 s! I understand that you want to synchronize the restoration of post messages on your Mac Messages app to your iPhone 6 s.

  • On iPhone, go to settings > Messages > transfer, text messages, then choose which devices to send and receive text messages from the iPhone. A verification code and then on each device. Enter this code on your iPhone.

• IMessage does not sync between all devices

  My ipad/Mac will not sync with my iphone imessage. Until I reinstalled my Mac wasn't a problem. If I type a message to someone in imessage from my Mac or my iPad, it does not display in my iphone vice versa.

  imessages from my iphone will not only do not appear in the other two devices, but the response I get will not pass to the device, sure I typed the message. Even the opposite effect. Messages and responses to Mac/iPad won't go on my iPhone imessage.

  Should what setting I change to get everthing again between all devices sync?

  Have you checked that you have activated the same send to and receive to address on all devices.

• Unable to sync with Contacts iMessage

  I can't sync contacts (apart from several contacts from Facebook at random) to my iMessage on a MacBook Pro. I tried to disconnect and reconnect the login Apple ID for iMessage and contacts will not sync. Logging out and to iCloud did not work either. How can I fix it?

  Also, when I bought this Mac, I managed to send messages to any non-Apple Phone and now I can't. It is now prohibited?

  Hello

  The app must be synchronized with the Contacts app on other devices.

  Which can be defined either your system preferences > iCloud and option Contacts or Internet accounts > the Service of your choice and the possibility of Contacts.

  The results are active, which can be seen in Contacts > Preferences > accounts.

  One must be active and it should be identical to the iPhone.

  You'll notice that in system preferences > iCloud there is nothing on the Messages, FaceTime, iTunes, the App Store, Game Center, and several other places, you can use an identifier to Apple.

  Turning ON and so does nothing for iMessages.

  If...

  The Mac and the iPhone are syncing Contacts, then the visible name remains the same.

  The iPhone is using the same Apple Sync ID iMessages

  The transmission of text (SMS) is set to iPhone Mac should be listed and it should work.

  If the transfer of SMS does not work, you may need to reset it.

  First check if the iPhone is joining your Wifi network is on the same local network as the Mac.

• iMessage does not sync between iPhone, Mac Mini, MacBook Air

  My main computer is: Mac Mini (mid-2011), El Capitan 10.11.1 (B 15, 42)

  My secondary computer is: MacBook Air (13 inch, mid-2012), El Capitan 10.11.1 (B 15, 42)

  And my iPhone is: iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.1 (B 13, 143)

  iMessage used to sync between my iPhone and my computers very well. I was also able to answer incoming calls on my iPhone with computers. It seems that, just at the time I upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan (or maybe iOS 9.1) synchronization no longer works. I tried pretty much everything I read on the forums, but nothing works. When I go into SETTINGS, MESSAGES and TRANSMISSION of MESSAGE TEXT on my iPhone and select the Mac Mini or MacBook Air, it will activate the program MESSAGES on the computer, but it won't send a code.

  Hello

  Have you tried with Messages on the relevant Mac already started?

  Have you tried signing of the Apple ID on the iPhone > settings > Messages > Send and Receive and effectively reset all?

• iCloud don't sync imessages, contacts

  Hello

  I had some iphones and macbooks for a long time and always perfectly switched to a newer model with icloud (Time Machine)

  recently, something broken my iphone 6, it began to freeze, and because my job requires always be on, I quickly bought a 6 s. I discovered that the problem wasn't in the SW HW, and he was also present on all my backups icloud. So first of all time, I installed a phone like new and activated my icloud account.

  Long story short, after a new installation, Icloud has not recovered most of my iMessages. I got to this point, but nothing before.

  I've decided I can live with that I have all my messages on my mini ipad and my macbook, so all right.

  Then I realized a lot of contacts are missing from my macbook air. They have been removed somehow. This I discovered that a text from my oldest friend, whose number is in Favorites, is not associated with a name on my macbook, but it does on my phone. Around checking on icloud.com, my macbook and my phone, I have foud here are couple hundred contacts that have been deleted to icloud.com, macbook, but they are on the phone.

  I then bought a new macbook 12 ". I moved on eveyrthing with Time Machine, and, of course, he has the same problem. He has iMessages to 2014, but lacking in contacts.

  Today, I bought a Pro 9.7 "iPad. He got my restore ipad mini. There imessages around 2013, but missing the last two weeks when my ipad mini was not justified to icloud. It also lacks contacts.

  As an experiment, I disabled the synchronization of contacts on the iphone icloud and asked to delete the contacts. This erases all the contacts. This means that the phone store these contacts on icloud (not in another box for letters or group), but don't download them. I have back since my icloud backup phone.

  so now I have:

  MacBook: imessages contacts 2014-today ' today, missing

  iPad: marc imessages 2013-2016, lack of contacts

  iPhone: imessages February 2016 all contacts so far

  I tried:

  -turn the imessages market on all devices

  -selection and de-selection of imessage e-mail addresses

  -turn on synchronization of contacts and power off all the devices

  -fusion of contacts with icloud on the phone

  -reboot everything and cursing a lot

  can anyone suggest something that I have not tried? This is something I have not expeted to apple, I always had the best experience with icloud, and now I'm grabbing around my iDevices for pieces of missing data. Very annoying.

  When you configure devices as new imessages will not be restored and it is a normal behavior. While the problem of contacts is left and if you have them on your phone and in icloud.com site, then you just to make sure that your ipad and your mac has icloud contacts enabled and activated in groups.

  Your message is quite long and it is good, a detailed description, but it is also difficult to predict if I got what you want and if not, sorry.

• iMessage not sync and face one conversations

  It's so weird. I got a new iPad Pro. I am experienced in the implementation of new features is not a matter of not knowing what I'm doing. I am connected with the same AppleID and all the settings are the same on all devices.

  My iPhone and MacBook Pro are synchronization and giving both sides of the conversations. However, my iPad Pro and iMac are not. And even more strange, my iMac is synchronized before the iPad Pro entered the fold.

  For example, my mother is texting and I we are texting back. I see his texts AND my answer on my iPhone and MacBook. But on my iMac and my iPad Pro, I only see my texts to her. In addition to this one-way conversation, I noticed that I sent on my iPhone today, new texts appear only on my MacBook and iPhone. They do not yet exist on my iMac or iPad Pro. Sometimes, if I type in the names of recipients the texts will fill. But they are not.

  I checked all the settings are the same on all devices. I got out my AppleID and reconnected. I studied the community boards. Most of what I find is old and does not apply to Yosemite 10.10.5 and 9.2 of the IOS.

  I'm waving the white flag. So frustrating that I can't understand it on my own. HELP Please!

  Also, my conversation appears in blue on the iMac and iPad Pro and green on iPhone and MacBook

• Messages of the Sierra and the problems of continuity iMessage

  I took these communities to try to resolve a problem which, for me, is as old as the first day iMessage became available for Mac.

  I can't emphasize how incredibly boring, it is completely out of sync how both are. The problems are always the same:

  (1) never are conversations in the issue of order/same on both devices. For example, for a conversation that has been exploited to iMessage on my iPhone, when I open my Mac, it appears in the notifications, like new. All the answers are there.

  (2) a conversation that has been deleted from the iPhone suddenly appears on the opening on my Mac... seriously?

  (3) the conversations that are deleted on my iPhone does not disappear in the Messages and vice versa.

  To sum it all, pretty much the case is that both apps, while they expected to work simultaneously with fluidity to do what they want when they want.

  This has been a problem since iMessage became available on Mac OS for the first time (think it was Mavericks). I've been waiting for Apple to fix this with each software update to make OSX or iOS. But guess what...?

  My Mac running OS Sierra and my iPhone 6 s more running iOS 10.0.1. Everything that could be activated in so that they can work together has been activated and triple checked. I would really like to know if anyone has a way to fix this or if there is other people are having the same problem.

  Hello

  An excellent explanation of exactly how iMessages works on iPhone and Mac.

  It does the same thing, if you add in an iPad or and iPod Touch.

  iMessages are pushed, the Treaty is called, for devices that have been associated with (by adding the Apple ID on an iPhone).

  This means that it is not as Mail where are read from the server and in the case of a POP account you can choose to let the "message" on the server if other devices can read.

  IMAP accounts will be synchronized as you say but POP will be more like the Messages app with iMessages.

  The iMessages which is addressed to you are marked by the number of devices is in the opportunity to see it.

  He pushes the devices until they respond (Accept) once this device has accepted it is removed from signage and only devices that did not have a chance on seeing.

  There is a time limit on how long the iMessages is pushed to a device (such that being away from your Mac turned off everything on vacation or phone that died or was out of range of the carrier)

  Once the device have the iMessages it is removed from the server.

  A simpler view is that the iMessages is "copied" and sent to each device and that each device can not see the other "versions" and that each "copy" is deleted from the server that happens on the device.

  The news to "read" your comments, you might see comes that of the device, it was intended to (i.e. addressing a number only the iPhone to another end may, so together, to send the reply 'read').

  Same thing with sent.  This is why you get a response, when he showed even "Delivered" as someone can answer from a connected device.

  This means that the 'Sync' is really only show on all devices and nothing do you on one device will be the effect of the other.

  It is not broken, even if this isn't what you think that told you about the device.
