Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I used to enjoy the messages syncing with my iPhone/iPad, currently I can't see messages send on my Mac on my iPhone/iPad and vice versa...not sure what happened, all of the settings in preferences seem like they should be right.
OS X Mavericks (10.9)
I think I have figured out some of the problem.
Since iMessage is tied to my phone number, I went to Settings > Messages > Text Forwarding
There I saw 3 other devices (My iMac, iPad Pro and iPad Air2)
I found that the "Air2" was not checked so the messages were not being forwarded to it.
However, The Air2 seems to get all new messages like the others but it will not synch messages prior to the time I turned on the switch to forward messages to the iPad Air2.
Second time today one of your answers was the perfect solution. Thank you!
Unfortunately, the proposed solution that worked for others did not for me. My messages across devices do not sync reliably. Are there other solutions out there? Many Thanks!
You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
I am having the same problem! Have tried signing in/out of iCloud and iMessage on both devices with no luck.
Hi,
Are you running Mavericks ?
As has been said before you might want to think about creating your own thread.

That did the trick...thank you!!!
Thank you 🙂
GD Apple still has not fixed this. Part of it seems to have to do with 2 factor authentication. A royal pain in the a..
Worked for me, thanks.
Messages I receive on iPhone don't show up on iPad and they don't sync, one day messages on iPad suddenly stopped syncing from iPhone to iPad
Your solution fixed my problem!! Thanks
tried this twice, still messages don't sync between my iphone and macbook. so annoying.
My iMessages won't sync
