For some reason my iMessage just started not syncing to my MacBook Air. I can 'send' iMessages but not receive on my MacBook Air.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
Hi there, ToddAfrica.
It appears that messages on your iPhone aren't appearing on your MacBook Air. You're able to send iMessages, but you can't send SMS/MMS messages from your Mac, and we're glad to provide assistance.
How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac - Apple Support -- On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. On your Mac, open Messages and choose Messages > Preferences > iMessages. Make sure that both devices are signed in with the same Apple ID. Then, on your iPhone, go back one screen and check Text Message Forwarding to make sure your Mac has been selected. If it is, deselect your Mac and restart your iPhone. Once it's back to the Home screen, turn Text Message Forwarding back on for your Mac and test the issue.
Feel free to get back to us with any questions or problems you may have.
All the best.
Great observation!! This worked. Once I signed in I was able to see text message forwarding and was able to add my Mac.
Thanks!
JC
THE SIMPLE THINGS MATTERS
Wow! your directions to ToddAfrica worked for my Mac and my Ipad so thank you!
Tried this twice and it did not work. My text seems to sync but not any attachments/images.
Any suggestions?
worked very well for me. thank you!
Thank you for the clear and concise solution, SnickZ from Apple. : )
I was having the same problem, tried everything, eventually came across your post of 1st April and it's solved the problem. Thanks!!!

Ditto. Maddening. Although I received one imessage on Mac among several sent.
Surprise! It seems to have resolved, although I swear I just retried the same things. And restarted both Mac and iPhone.
