Since the last OS update, Message reports the messages sent to non-apple devices have failed. Except they haven't, they have actually gone through, though, replies to the messages do not show up at all, I can only access them on my iPhone or iPad.
Any help out there?
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Hi,
The link between the iPhone and the Mac is incomplete and needs resetting.
On the iPhone delete the Mac and this add it back so that it triggers the Code appearing on the MAc again and enter the new Code back on the iPhone.

Hi Ralph.. thanks... um.. how do I delete it and re-add? (I used to know Macs so well) 😕
Hi,
On the iPhone in Settings > Messages > Text Forwarding.

I think I see what has happened... for some reason my iPhone has reverted to my old Mac. Is there a way that I can remove that from my iPhone and get it to recognize the new one?
Hi,
You should be able to select it to remove it (I haven't had call to do that).
However even if you cannot remove it you should be able to turn it "Off". (On checking I can't find a "Delete" option)

Hi Ralph, thanks for your reply. In checking I learned that the only way to delete it is to change your apple password. (seems like a very inelegant solution). I do have it turned off, but my iPhone still doesn't seem to "see" my new computer, nor is the new computer offering up a code to enter into the iPhone.
Hi,
I had to try it several times before it took to re-set mine an few months back.
