Mar 7, 2016 1:00 PM in response to dcharpiedby chris catalano,So if my Mac is not connected via Wifi, but by ethernet instead, then the above referenced process won't work?? I've switched on the "Text Message Forwarding" on my iPhone several times, but not code is ever sent to my Mac. I can confirm that the iPhone is working in that regard because I can send the code to an iPad.

Apr 1, 2016 10:53 AM in response to Chris Elleyby Greersome,I've been on my phone and cannot find the 'Text Message Forwarding' option under Settings>Messages>... Has this changed?
All I have are as follows:
============
iMessage - on/off
Send Read Receipts = on/off
Send as SMS = on/off
Send and receive = My phone number displayed.
sub menu:
User your Apple ID for iMessages
You can be reached by imessage at... (my phone number displayed with check mark next to it)
MMS Messaging= on/off
Group Messaging = on/off
Show Subject Field = on/off
Character Count = on/off
Blocked = on/off
Keep Messages = Forever
Filter Unknown Senders = on/off
(Audio Messages) Expire = After 2 minutes
(Audio Messages) Raise to Listen
(Video Messages) Expire = After 2 minutes
===============
That's it. Where is this Text Message Forwarding option?

Apr 6, 2016 7:06 AM in response to Philibobbyby Howard Brazee,I get that error message when trying to use the Message app on my Mac - to my daughter's iPhone. I don't get it when using the Message app on my iPhone to her. I don't get that error when sending messages to my granddaughters from my Mac nor my phone - messages sent to from either also show up on my other device. This error is only a couple of months old. It used to work the same as my granddaughter's messages.
I don't see any difference between their contacts that would explain this.

Sep 8, 2016 12:29 PM in response to blackdogaudioby skyscraperdave,This worked, mostly. For some reason when the icloud update happened a few weeks ago it kicked me off and this path helped me find how to log back in with messages. Thanks!
