How do I enable iMessages if I have 2 separate Apple IDs between devices? I purchased and use my new Macbook Pro for my faculty university position; complete with it's own Apple ID. However, my personal devices are utilized through my personal Apple ID. How can I sync both together to enable iMessages on my new laptop?

iMessage on my new MacMini My iMessage works for "all" phone texting/messaging on my MacBook Air, but now that I have my new MacMini up and running, it is only sending to iPhone users and it is timing out on Non-iPhone messages / texts. I have confirmed all devices are on the same iCloud accounts and I have looked at the settings on my MacBook Air and compared them to my MacMini, and it does not seem to be any different on the settings. Also both machines are up-to-date running the same version of macOS Big Sur. Thanks you in advance, Antone

iMac 2020 not showing same messages in iMessage as other devices I have a new iMac 2020 logged into iCloud with the same id as all my other devices. My iMac 2013, MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone all show the same list of conversations and messages in iMessage. The new Mac only shows five of those conversations and only accepts new messages from those 5 people, notifications from my Dr, USPS, anything other than those 5 do not show up. iMessage settings are identical to my other iMac, all devices are on the latest macOS, iOS, iPadOS How do I get it to show the same messages as the rest of my devices?
