Hi,

I'm logged into icloud on my computer and I used to have text message forwarding, but for some reason, after I got a new iphone, it has been disabled. when I go into preferences in messages, my icloud account does not appear on my list of accounts. how do get it back? thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Hello okxndra,

After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to setup an account in Messages. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Messages (Mavericks): Set up your accounts

Set up iMessage

Choose Messages > Preferences, click Accounts, then select iMessage in the Accounts list.

Enter your Apple ID and password, then click Sign In.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Have a nice day,

Mario
