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
I think I may have solved it.
iPhone>Setting>Messages>Switch OFF iMessage>Switch back on>Select Send & Receive Addresses
Mac>Message Preferrences>iMessage Tab> Sign Out/Sign In>Select where you can be reached at
After this I am able to initiate new Texts on iPhone and it syncs with Mac. Older messages have not synced. Crossing my fingers this continues to work.
Thank you, it worked for me - been trying to solve this for a while now and your solution worked!
Worked for me! Thanks so much :)
Fantastic, thanks dpaik! same results for me here in 2022, not syncing old messages but at least all the new ones. Was getting a bit frustrated there.
Iphone not sync with MacBook air on receiving messages
Me, too!
I have solved this one. Please go on your iPhone to Settings - > Messages. Scroll down to "Text message Forwarding", check the device you want your text message to be forwarded. Done.
Thanks, bro. It works!
The solution by @Skotch worked for me.
so I just saw that my messages are not the same as they are on my phone and how do I fix that so I can see it on my MacBook Pro?
ToddAfrica, I am having the exact same problem. Just converted everything to Apple after 20 years on Windows. Very disappointing. I am grateful that you are pursuing this.
Thank you so much. This issue has been irking me for a while. This worked!!
Awesome. If you don’t mind marking as correct answer (maybe you did already but it didn’t update) that way others can see it first.
I have the same problem. Sad to hear there's no workaround for this.
