Q: Why are my messages not showing up
I was getting all my SMS messages from my phone on my MAC and now they just quit showing up. I get text messages on my phone but they're not showing up on my MAC.
Help!
mac, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Hi,
On the iPhone > Settings > Messages
If you have Enabled Text Forwarding then this should allow you to tap it and see who many devices are "connected" and whether they are selected to be so.
Text Messages Forwarding is the first item down the list after the Messages app is enabled.
It should read "1 Device" at least is lighter grey text.
Once to tap to enter the device listed should have the green (On) slide showing.
I am suggesting that you deselect the device which will disable the Text Forwarding function.
If you then leave the settings and wait for a few minutes the link to the Mac should be removed form the iPhone.
Go back to the Messages settings and select Text Forwarding again.
This should generate the Code pop up on the Mac. It should be a new code and the iPhone should stay waiting for it.
Enter the new code on the iPhone.
It should now be working again.
