Q: iMessage not synching between devices

My iPhone 6 and my iMac running Yosemite synch fine together. And I have the SMS forwarding on so non-iMessage texts go to my iMac. All is good.

 

But my MacBook running Mountain Lion acts very weird. It takes forever to synch, and when it does, some threads are missing messages. Some of the threads are totally out of order. Text from last night appearing after text from this morning. Doesn't make any sense. And my MacBook does not get any of the SMS texts. Maybe I can't forward SMS to more than one mac? Is this why it's not synching on the MacBook perfectly? Or does it have something to do with the iMac running a newer OS? Can anyone shed some light on this? I blocked all content on my Flash Player as suggested by another thread from 2013, but it's not fixing anything.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.3

    You need Yosemite. See last sentence of the article below.

    Hi,

     

    Flash has nothing to do with this.

    It have nothing to do with the app in any shape or form.

     

    If a "Thread" on a Yosemite computer includes SMS as well as iMessages as the senders circumstances change then there will be missing items.

     

    Restart in Safe Mode Then restart normally and this should help with the Messages order.

    Also check System Preferences > Date and Time and set the Automatic Time Server if it is not set and also double check the Location.
