• Can no longer send people text messages without my Macbook iMessage - SMS for them still works on iPhone

  Can't send text messages to people without my Macbook iMessage - SMS for them still works on the iPhone - is there a setting changed it or something wrong with my software apps

  Hello

  For some people, the link between iPhone and Mac for Forwarding text (which works in both directions) can break.

  Things to check: -.

  (1) iPhone and Mac are still on the same LAN

  (2) that the iPhone displays the Mac which should get the sent items

  In case of doubt deletion the Mac in the list.

  Leave the little transfer of text then reset so that the Code number will appear again on the Mac.

• I use iMessage to the text of my Macbook. For some reason, it will not let me send a text message to a particular group (everyone has iMessage/iPhones) to my computer, but works well on my iPhone. All messages always appear on my Macbook iMessa

  I use iMessage to the text of my Macbook. For some reason, it will not let me send a text message to a particular group (everyone has iMessage/iPhones) to my computer, but works well on my iPhone. All messages always appear on my Macbook iMessage, but when I click in the conversation, no text box for me to write as he does with everyone. It's driving me crazy. How should I do? The two contacts are in my address book and identified on my computer but I can't their message from my computer and have to keep spending on my phone to text their return. Their new messages are always also highlighted on my computer. In the photo I've included, you can see there is no text box for the text of the group with "Franny, dad."

  

  Thanks for any help!

  What happens if you start a new conversation with Franny & Dad from the IOW computer do not try to "catch" the conversation

  Click on new message and put their names in there

  If this does not work - remove the wire from the Mac and try again

• Text Message Forwarding lack of Mac OS and iOS 10

  Am I missing something? I'm not able to find the text Message Forwarding since I updated my iPhone to iOS 10.0.1 6 and my MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end 2013) for MacOS Sierra 10.12.

  This is a feature that has been removed with iOS 10 and Sierra of MacOS? This is a feature that worked before when I was on iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan.

  Now when I'm in my settings of the iPhone 6 > Messages, there is no option of text Message transmission.

  And 15 minutes later with to do anything, text Message Forwarding is back as an option in my settings iOS 10 for iMessages now... ODD

• 9.2 messages will not send any messages on MacBook

  I am running OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6 on a MacBook Pro 15 "retina (mid-2015) with 9.2 Messages. I also have an iPhone running iOS 10.0.1 6.

  A few days ago, I got an alert that someone had logged on to iMessage on iPhone 4S that I didn't own. I changed my password, and since I was not able to use the Messages on my MacBook. If I try to send a message using my phone number, he is trying to send a text message and fails. If I try to send from an email address, it sends as an iMessage and fails immediately. Everything works fine on my iPhone, but the conversations from my iPhone will not sync to my MacBook.

  I signed into messages on my MacBook and iPhone. I signed out and back several times on both. My phone number and email are all verified in the context of "you are reachable by iMessage to. I tried to remove the content in ~/Library/Messages/ and empty the trash. I rebooted my MacBook several times. Nothing has worked so far.

  Anyone know what I need to do?

  May be a corrupt .plist.

  Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

  Quit the application.

  Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iChat.plist.  Move the .plist on your desktop.

  Restart your computer, open the application and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

  If the application is the same, return the .plist where you got it, crushing the latest.

  If this does not work, repeat the above, but remove the com.apple.imagent.plist

• Text Message Forwarding

  I would like to set up my phone to be able to transfer the messages in the Messages. I'm sure that I'm connected to all accounts that I'm supposed to be connected to. In the Messages on my iPhone settings, I go to text Message transmission, and my Macbook Pro is listed. When I turn on the slider for iPhone, it asks me to enter the code on my iPhone, but there is no code to enter.

  The code will come to your MBP, and then enter the phone (you control two devices, that you try to bind the poster).  See use of continuity to connect your iPhone, iPod touch and Mac - Apple Support

• transfer text messages

  Hi all

  I just got an iPhone SE. I have the people (iMessage and SMS) message on my Macbook and my iPhone, but since I have this phone, text (NO iMessage) messages sync on my laptop and the phone. If I have any messages anyone of my laptop, it starts a new conversation on my phone and vice versa. (What's a sense? It looks like I'll have a long talk with myself, or someone is messaging me without the answer.)

  I know it has to do with the transmission of text Message, so I'll try to set up on my phone. There are two options on my phone: my macbook and my phone and the macbook option is checked (green). I'm checking off my iPhone, so I click on it, and it gives me the ' enter the code shown on your iPhone-iPhone text messages also be sent and received on a "My iPhone '." "pop-up.

  However, I do not get any code.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!!

  Hi emelvee,

  Thank you for coming to us in Apple Support communities for support. I am pleased to provide you with resources to help get your SMS sending works again.

  To start, make sure that you have enabled the options mentioned in this article:

  Continuity of use to connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac

  On your iPhone, go to settings > Messages > Send and receive. Add a control to both your phone number and email address. Then go to settings > Messages > text Message Forwarding and activate the device or devices that you want to transfer the messages.

  Note that the list of devices here is for devices other than the one you are using. This means that if you see another iPhone listed in SMS forwarding, you're probably connected to your Apple ID on another iPhone. That would explain why you do not see the code they ask you on your iPhone.

  If you are still experiencing problems with sending/receiving SMS on both devices after confirmation that it can help reconnect the two devices for your Apple for message ID. To do this on your iPhone:

  Open one session with another Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  1. Tap Settings > Messages.
  2. Tap, send and receive.
  3. Enter your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.

  On your MacBook Pro:

  1. Open messages
  2. In the menu bar to open your Messages > Preferences > accounts
  3. Choose your Apple ID on the left
  4. Click sign out

  Once you're disconnected in these two places, go ahead and sign at the same time in the same place, then configure your SMS transfer using the aforementioned article, or this one:

  Messages (El Capitan): Get and send SMS messages

  I hope you have a great rest of your day! See you soon.

• Stop text message notifications in El Capitan if they have already been checked on my iPhone

  I have my 2015 MacBook Air set up to send and receive text messages, that I enjoy and use frequently. However, I use my laptop when I'm on campus, so he'll go sometimes unused for a day or two. For this reason, whenever I log in my MacBook Air, I am bombarded with notifications of message, even though I have long read and answered on my iPhone.

  It's quite annoying to open my laptop Monday morning to twelve alerts by text message, to see to the reading of them who all last week and are now irrelevant and useless.

  Is their a way around that? Or maybe a setting of notification in El Cap that I might have forgotten? It seems strange for OS X to inform me of the things that I already recognized it on my other iDevices.

  Thank you!

  -Allison D.

  Hello

  You have not missed a framework because it is not a.

  The issue is that iMessages are pushed from the server until a device accepts them.

  iMessages are sent to each device that is registered.

  The 'Sync' is only 'on all display devices.  There is no other involvement between devices.

  Most large storage capacity and the ability to save the cats in the Messages of the Mac offers this possibility.

  Other than that it works the way they created it for (not that that's always how we hold).

• I was able to receive and send text messages (NOT iMessage) from my Apple Watch, even if I had left my phone at work, 10 miles away.  How is that possible?

  My phone does not connect to a WiFi to work because it's a restricted network.  I have a macbook and an ipad at home, but the iPad died (battery) and my macbook had power, but had fallen asleep.  I don't understand.  Think my phone has to be in my bag if I was getting texts, but he found in my office this morning.  Is my watch somehow 'work' through my macbook ASLEEP?

  Hello

  Subject to your carrier supporting the appeal of Wi - Fi and function has been activated on your iPhone, Wi - Fi calling can be used to make and receive phone calls as well as - when supported by the carrier - for text messaging / SMS over Wi - Fi.

  When the Wi - Fi is enabled on your iPhone, the service is also available via Apple Watch, even when it is connected to a known Wi - Fi network and the pair iPhone is not available.

  In the United States, for example, both AT & T and T-Mobile currently support send and receive SMS via Wi - Fi calling.

  More information:

  • Phone with Wi - Fi calling - Apple Support
  • Use Apple Watch without her sister iPhone - Apple Support
  • AT & T:
    • "Text messages you send or receive with Wi - Fi calling are the same as regular text messages.
    • https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/features/WiFi-calling.html
  • T-Mobile:
    • "Now you can call and text virtually anywhere there is a WiFi connection on iPhones running iOS 8 or newer." This includes the latest iPhone 6s and 6 s more. You must activate the Wi - Fi calling to take advantage of the benefits."

• SMS text messaging works only on El Capitan

  Recently, I spent my iPhone to a basic cell phone.

  not Verizon data use my iPhone as an iPod Touch - with wi - fi.

  I tried to send SMS from my MacBook Pro in El Capitan via iMessage for my cell phone and all simply not possible.  I get message is not available.  I even go CONTACTS and changed my iPhone for mobile phone number.  Just won't work.

  All support implies that the use of SMS Texting of El Capitan, you must have an iPhone to send it through--and that the iPhone is not connect to a telephone network - can not do.  Excellent idea of a point of view marketing, but it does mean Apple says that I have a working iPhone with cellular service to send text messages SMS of my MacBook?

  Bad idea.

  Yes SMS on Mac is supported only if you have a full functional iPhone.

  SMS grafted on a line of phone your provider in order to work.

  It's not marketing, it's how SMS works.

  Make sure that at least one address is activated on the phone for use with iMessage; in the contrary case, the activation code will appear.

• My Mac has stopped at random to send and receive text messages. Any thoughts?

  My Macbook Air stopped randomly send and receive text messages today. All software are up to date on my Mac and iPhone, and transfer of text messages is on my iPhone. Don't know what to do!

  You may have been signed off iMessage on your Macbook Air for some reason any. To check, open messages on your Macbook Air, click Messages at the top of the screen, then click on Preferences, tap accounts, click iMessage and login if you are not yet connected. If you try disconnecting and by signing insert it again. This should solve the problem. Let me know if this helped!

• Text messaging

  Apple, you've done a lot of updates it's cool thanks. You can create a way to recover the deleted text messages? We can to voicemail, but it would be nice to recover text messages or the ability to save.

  also, please add a few more accents for Siri? It would be funny for Siri say "yo, yo turn left on the street of peak, this is what is happening," but it would be even cooler to have the ability to save a being expensive those voice example, daughter, son, yourself, husband etc.  I can be in front of my time or yours, not sure, but it would be so cool.

  Ty!

• Search text messages and contacts

  Since the IOS 10 update, I can't find the content of the text message or contact for anything before the day of the update. Is there any solution for this?

  What do you mean when you say 'glad message text search?  Do you mean that since you upgraded to iOS 10 you do not see your previous posts?
