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
This is the fault of the latest update. I updated a few days ago (I’m always late to the party) and immediately after this update I couldn’t send texts with my iPad. After several days of resending, power cycling, going from one device to another, the issue persists. I got messages to/from one recipient to populate to both devices, but still not effortlessly and consistently like it was before the update.
One of the reasons I pay thousands more for Apple devices is ease of use, consistency, and admitting to and fixing what they know are their problems immediately, if not sooner.
Apple, take note and fix this problem! I shouldn’t have to change settings that weren’t broken before you fixed them!
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.
