Why are my messages not showing up
I was getting all my SMS messages from my phone on my MAC and now they just quit showing up. I get text messages on my phone but they're not showing up on my MAC.
Help!
mac, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

I have had this problem as well and have a suggestion that may work. First, open Contacts and look at your own information. Assuming you are using an iPhone, is your iPhone phone number categorized as "iPhone" (the dropdown menu to the left of your phone number when it the editing mode) or is categorized as something else (mobile, other, customized)? If it categorized as something else then change it to "iPhone". I believe there is something in Apple's software that uses this information for messages/texting. Also, if you use an email from Apple ( .icloud .me .mac etc) then select "iCloud" beside the address (in the same edit mode of Contacts).
It makes absolutely no difference what the phone number is labeled. Apple software does not use this information for iMessages/Texting. I never use the label "iPhone".
