Can no longer see text messages on iMessage

Hi,

As of this week, I can no longer see my text messages on my laptop (OS 10.10.2). My iPhone (8.1.3) gets texts, and in the settings for Messages, the only forwarding device is my iPad. I can't add a device here for some reason. Any ideas?

Hi,


The Fact the iPad can do it suggests the Apple ID is active on the iPhone.


It hints that the Messages app and the iMessages account on the Mac are not logged in (despite what the app might tell you).


Can you set the iPhone to Send from it's own Number.

Can you then send an iMessages to the Apple ID ?

Does it arrive on the Mac ?


If you deselect the iPhone Number on the Mac can you send from the Apple ID to the iPhone Number ?


I would try using the Sign Out button on the Mac and then Quirt the app before adding back the password and re-enabling the Account on starting it up again.
