I just recently got a MacBook air for Christmas I set it all up and am now noticing that all my messages from my iphone are syncing to my MacBook, (iMessage). I use the same apple Id for my iphone as I do for my macbook (because I don't like having tons of usernames or emails), I just don't want my imessages going to my computer when I am not on my computer, or when someone else is using my computer.
iPhone 4
Open Messages on the Mac, then go to Messages > Preferences > Accounts and remove your Apple ID.
Maybe stevejobsfan0123 has it right.

I didn't want to remove my whole apple Id because then I would have to make a new apple ID. but I figured it out from what you suggested only I went to messages > preferences > accounts and unclicked my phone number where it suggested I could be reached at. Thank you!
Nevermind I thought it worked I guess I will just have to log out of my computer every time I leave it or let someone use it 😐
On your Mac if you simply unclick the box "Enable this Account" you can leave everything else in place.
iMessages will still be received on your phone, but will not be delivered to your Mac.
Messages>Preferences>Accounts> Enable this Account
How do I turn off imessage between macbook and iPhone?
