Can't Connect iMessages to Macbook

I am trying to connect my messages from my iPhone to my macbook pro. Originally, the macbook was logged into my dad's iCloud, but now I am using this computer so I logged into my iCloud. However, my macbook isn't showing up on the list of devices to. Help?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4, null

Hey Haripriya_,

If I understand correctly, you are signed into the MacBook and it is not showing up in iCloud. I would recommend you read this article, it may be able to help troubleshoot the issue.

You might not see your device on iCloud.com or the Find My iPhone app for one of these reasons:

  • iCloud isn't set up on your device. Choose Settings > iCloud and sign in with your Apple ID.
  • Find My iPhone is turned off on your device. Choose Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone > turn on Find My iPhone and then tap Allow.
  • You’re signed in to iCloud with a different Apple ID on your iOS device. Sign in to Find My iPhone with your other accounts until you see your device.
  • Your device isn't connected to a network. To locate your missing Mac or Apple Watch, they must be connected to the Internet from a known Wi-Fi network. If you have access to your device, and it appears to have an active Internet connection, turn on and then turn off Airplane mode. If you continue to have issues, turn the device off and back on. If your Mac is connected to the Internet by an Ethernet cable, Find My Mac can't find your computer.
  • The date on your device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch) isn't correct. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
