Text Message Forwarding Multiple Device? MacBook Air is fine, Mac Mini is Not.

Text message forwarding on Iphone 6 plus with ios 8.1 and macbook air with yosemite has been working great for weeks now.

Just added a new mac mini to the home network and I cannot for the life of me get both the Air and Mini to work for text message forwarding at the same time, the never BOTH show up in the list of text message forwarding devices on the iPhone. Have spent multiple hours going through imessage and icloud sign outs, sign in, rest routers, modem, computers, etc.

Tried everything I can think of and can't seem to find others who are experiencing the same issue. Love the text message forwarding but need to have it work on both devices. Thanks for any help!

This worked perfectly. Thanks, Kevin! I was working with two macbooks, one of which was a clone of the other.

Good tip about not signing out of iCloud. Just to clarify, you just need to turn off iMessage and FaceTime on your iDevices. There isn't a "log out" option, per se.
