Hello caryfromsananselmo,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with Messages after recovery of your computer.


If you were using Continuity, please check your settings: Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch - Apple Support


The above article links here for Messages specifically: How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac - Apple Support


If you are using Messages in iCloud, check these settings: Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support


If you are using iCloud, check if you ran out of iCloud storage space: Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support


Were you aware you can purchase more iCloud storage if necessary? Buy more iCloud storage - Apple Support


If you need more help, please let us know which option you are using, and where in the process it fails. Also, what devices are involved? Can you send and receive messages on your iPhone? Mac? iPad? Are some connected but others are not? Any alerts or error messages?


Thanks and have a wonderful day.
