My Messages app on the Mac platform won't keep up to date with messages sent on my iPhone. This wasn't an issue until after updating to MacOS Big Sur. Anyone else having this problem and know of a workaround?
MacBook
Try logging out of icloud and messages on the mac. log back in to icloud and messages. ensure text forwarding is selected for the mac on the iphone, then resync the messages on the mac. I have found that some messages missed while the text forwarding was off arent recoverable.
Is Apple ever going to fix this problem with Big Sur and messaging between iPhone and Mac? I would think, since they caused this problem, that they would take leadership in fixing it and helping us all with this problem, even if our warranties are expired. Did the idea of full product support depart from Apple's company ethos?
Same issue. While texting on iPhone 12 ProMax (updated version) directly in front of my 2020 iMac (Big Spur, updated) with messages opened they communicate well. However, if I step away from my iMac and text a business associate, the conversation is incomplete when I return to my iMac to continue the communication. Then I'm stuck working conversing on a phone when I have a $5k computer sitting on my desk. Also running Big Spur. Worth noting, I don't have this issue with my MacBook Pro...or haven't noticed it.
Help please! Apple...
iPhone SE (first gen) not able to sync after upgradingMacBook Pro to Big Sur. Is there any work being done on this?
Yep, exact same issue here. Very frustrating.
this was also my problem though I don't know how the setting was changed. IOS update???
Got the same issue here. Multiple "file can't be found" pop ups. I cant sync my iphone. My iphone ios is updated. Been browsing for a workthru the last couple of days. I cant find any.
oooppp sorry. i replied to the wrong question. But i did manage to fix the "File can't be found" pop up. Kindly delete my reply OP.
I gave that a try. No luck. Hopefully, this is something they will address with the next update to Big Sur.
Did the recommendation, but no success. Did it a few times, restarted, on/off and restarted - no luck.
I have the same issue except that text message forward is enabled and still no syncing on my iMac
YES ever since the Big Sur update my messages have gone wonky! I send and get them on the iPhone but they will not appear or synch with the Mac. What do I do?
I did all that and still I get messages on the iPhone that do not appear on the messages on the Mac.
How is it that I do not have Text Forwarding option on my phone?? iPhone 8 running iOS 14.5.1??
Have the same issue - have tried multiple solutions but the problem persists.
send failures when using message app on Big Sur and not on iPhone
Mac Messages not syncing with iPhone after Big Sur update
