Disabled the iCloud account in iMessage on the two Mac laptops.ģ. This did not solve my problem, but it may have been a necessary step.Ģ. However I was able to solve it.Īpple has a tool for deregistering your mobile phone number from their iMessage servers. I followed Ralph Johns' steps, but the problem did not go away. The earlier post presumes that the iPhone is already on the LAN connected by Wifi. That in turn needs to be entered on the iPhone to link the two devices.

On the Mac this should trigger the Slide out with the code number on it. This should offer the devices you can connect to that are on the Same LAN. Then the Text Forwarding item on the iPhone can be set. The iPhone and Mac should be on the same LAN (home Network) as long as this does not involved multiple routers to do wifi separately from Ethernet. The iPhone should be set to to connect to your Home Wifi (presuming that is where the Mac is) You need to accept these so the Mac can use the iPhone Number as well as the Apple ID. This should cause Pop ups to appear on the Mac to say what the iPhone is using. If you now add the Apple ID to the iPhone the two become Linked and anything sent to the iPhone Number will be "synced" (duplicated and shown) on the Mac. The iPhone should be able to respond or even send from the iPhone Number to the Apple ID. You have added the Apple ID to the Messages app on the Mac for the ID for iMessages account.Īt this point the Apple ID should be able to send iMessages to the iPhone Telephone Number (as that is the ID in use on the iPhone). you have the iPhone set to do Messages (the app is turned on and showing the green part of the slide).

Restart the Mac and the Messages and Accept the pop ups about what the iPhone is using.Ĭheck BlueTooth and Wifi is active on the iPhone and Mac and Set text Forwarding again (If you don't get the Code number appearing on the Mac keep resetting until it does.). Test sending an iMessages to the Apple ID (Mac).

Turn Messages Off and wait two minutes before turning back on Again. You will have to Sign In here to see the details.Ĭheck the Country is the one you are using (particularly for the Contacts "home" country i.e it should be were you are and where the iPhone is registered).Ĭheck the Send and Receive section on the iPhone. On the Mac go to Messages > Preferences > Accounts > the iMessages account and click the Details Button. I would check everything very thoroughly. There can then be further issues if it is left longer but I have not tested this to find a resolution. However if you set up Text Forwarding set up this will continue as it uses the Phone Carrier and then WiFi to the Mac and not the iMessages servers. Given long enough this will cause the number to be "de-registered" and therefore iMessages will not sync.

On occasions I have found the Telephone Number without a Tick (not active) even though as a User I cannot change this. This is Settings > Messages > Send and Receive on the iPhone. Please help me its driving me insane! Im worried someones going to urgently need me and i wont get their texts.Īs I said earlier I have found it to be in this section. Ive tried resetting my phone, turning it off and on, turning iMessage off then on again, linking and unlinking iMessage to my mac. I message my friend from both my mac and my phone and when i was on her chat on my phone kept making a noise as if i was getting new texts from her but i wasn't and it kept making the noise over and over again until i went off the app. Theres no sound, no banner or no red circle on the app. Sometimes when i get a message i don't get a notification. I also sometimes don't receive any messages on my phone either but they're on my mac. Or ill send it and the app shuts down and when i go back on it its not there.īut if i look on my mac the messages are there. I'll send an iMessage from my phone and then ill go off the app then back on again and it doesn't show up.
