Messages is sending all of my messages to my husbands phone instead of to his laptop...doing the same with other contacts as well. How do I get my messages to go to his laptop so I can effecitively continuting to bother him at work?
Help anyone?
(my first apple support question ever!)
Thanks!
MacBook Pro
Hello Kristin,
Thank you for the question! There are a couple of things we would need to do to set this up on your husband's MacBook Pro.
The feature to send and receive iMessages became available with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later, so first, I recommend checking the version of OS X on his MacBook Pro to see if his Mac will support this. You can follow the steps in the following article to check the version:

Next, confirm your husband is signed in with the same Apple ID in Messages on his iPhone and Mac and verify that his phone number is checked on the Mac:
On iOS devices, find out which addresses are enabled with FaceTime and iMessage by tapping:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
On OS X, find out which addresses are enabled:
In Messages, choose Messages > Preferences > Accounts.Select iMessage in the left column. Your contact preferences should appear under "You can be reached for messages at:."
You can find this and more information in the following article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
