Hi,
I've just installed iOS 8.1 on my iPhone and iPad. I'd like to set up text message forwarding, but when iPhone ask me to enter the code shown on my iPad or Mac - no code is showed on both.
iPad, iOS 8
What happened to me was that iMessage on the iPhone did not have checked the phone number registered for iMessage... Don't know when it got lost. I used to send iMessages to and from my iPhone. I also could not check it anywhere else as it did not appear on any other device.
Signing off and back on on the iMessage on my phone fixed this issue.
After following all your various instructions and it's still failed. So, I went ahead check the "BLOCKED" and found that all my email were in the block list, so I have to delete those and it's worked now. The Code will finally show up.
this worked for me:
after doing steps 1-3 about 5x and steps 4-6 three times, the pairing nubmer have appeared.
some people also say this (and i tried without results, but it can help somebody):
Nothing that anyone suggested above worked for me for some odd reason!
Tried activating and re-activiating iMessage wvereyhere, elected the email addresses, phone numbers etc. everything that was suggested din all posts in this thread...
What did work for me:
Reseting the Network settings in the iPhone!
Instantly asked me for the code post that!
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks, this worked.. This should be put up front of discussion.
this is how i got mine to work.......go to SETTINGS, then MESSAGES, then scroll down to BLOCKED...(.my own number was in the list of blocked numbers! )...so i hit EDIT, then unblocked my number and immediately the message came up on my phone with a code to enter and now it works!!! YAY!!
My wife's iphone 6 and her ipad 2 had the same problem. No code on the ipad. Had everything checked as "you can be reached by" in messages on both devices and nothing until I rebooted her ipad. As in hold the power button on top and front button down simultaneously until the apple logo appears. Once it powered up fully the code appeared right on the front.
Thanks. This also worked for me.
At first I only disabled and re-enabled my iMessage account in preferences of Messages, and re-selected the phone number of my iPhone. That was efficient, a code appeared on my Macbook, and since than it works!

Thank you so much!
FFirst you need the latest update on both devices. All I did was go to settings on my iPhone. There was a tab for text message forwarding. I clicked the arrow on the right and turned on my iPad. When I did so, my iPad popped up with a code number and my iPhone asked for that code. I entered the code on my iPhone and the slider turned green. Good luck
I had the same issue between Mac and iPhone - tried several things but this is the one which worked:
- On the Mac - Open Message App
- On the iPhone - Settings - Enabled "Text Message Forwarding" and select the device you like to forward messages to, in my case "My Mac"
- On the Mac - No code displayed
- On the iPhone - I pressed Allow without entering code.
- On the Mac - Immediately Mac gave me a message that forwarding is cancelled
- On the Mac - I pressed OK
- On the Mac - Right after cancellation message, code appeared but this code was connected to first iPhone forwarding sync
- On the Mac - Don't cancel this code or don't do anything with this message
- On the iPhone - Try enabling forwarding again
- On the Mac - Now cancel the first code then correct code will appear right away
- On the iPhone - Enter the latest code displayed on Mac on the iPhone
- On the iPhone - Allow
Done - Enjoy your connected synch life 🙂
Hope this helps, you might have to play with allow and cancel on the iPhone and Mac few times for the correct code but this will work. It is definitely a bug but I managed to fix it with the above solution. Hope Apple works this out soon.
Kudos!
I just had the same problem but I fixed it by going into the settings on iMessage on my computer. Make sure you enable your phone.
Hope this is helpful.
I had a problem with code not showing up on my Macbook also. Tried solution here but did not work. Then I realized that I have alternative @icloud.com address associated with iMessage on Mac but on my iPhone I used my primary e-mail address. So I changed my iMessage ID from @icloud.com email to primary on Mac and everything works like a charmed.
My iMessages on my MacBookPro worked brilliantly with my iPhone 4S, but when I had to update a iPhone 6 the access code just wouldn't appear. None of the solutions mentioned here worked for me but I read in another forum that by signing out of iCloud on both devices (which is a bit scary) and signing back in might help. That worked for me - 3 hours of frustration !!
Text message forwarding - no code on iPad or Mac
