I am trying to sync all my devices.
Imac Yosemite
Macbook Pro Yosemite
Iphone 5 IOS 8.1
Ipad IOS 8.1
The trouble I am having is if I delete a message (not mail) from one device, I want it deleted from all devices.
As it stands, I have to delete manually from every device at the moment.
Can this be done - I seem to be having real syncing issues.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10), Itunes 12.0.1
Hi,
That is the way it works.
iMessages are sent individually to each device (once Syncing as it is called is set up).
Basically "syncing" is "Display one all Devices and nothing else.
What this does do is clear iMessages off your Phone but Save them in Messages on the Mac due to it's greater storage.
The upshot is if you don't want them at all you have to delete or at least dismiss on both (all) devices.
iMessages are pushed to the devices which means they are sent once.
They are then deleted from the server once the device has indicated it has been Received.
(you can consider each device to get it's own iMessages (even if it is the same on another device) meaning you you have three devices "synced" then the iMessages server send three times - but only once to each device).

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.
Ymyou might try signing out of icloud on each of your devices, then sign back in. There isn't any particular setting that controls that as far as I know.
Are re they all set to uuse same addresses/phone numbers in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive?

Yeah, I got that. That's why I suggested some troubleshooting steps to try to resolve that problem.
How ow about signing out, then back in?
Sorry for the late reply, I have been away.
Thank you for that, I thought that would be the case, shame it can't delete off all if you delete from one device.
Anyway, thank you so much for your advice

check your settings in iCloud on all devices.
I have the same problem.
But Messages settings are not in iCloud tab on iOS.
What do you suggest to check?
Yes, the same address in iPhone, iPad and Mac.
But if I delete one message in one device, it doesn't delete on the others.
My 2 cents - wishlist...if I delete a message on my iPhone, I want it deleted from my iMac (or vice versa). Really wish I had that option.
If I delete a message from my mac will it also delete from my phone/ipad and vice versa
