IMessage stopped syncing between MacBook Air and iPhone 5

Hello,
Until the weekend my iMessages synced between iphone and MacBook Air, but from Monday I have been sending and receiving iMessgaes from my phone which never arrive at the MacBook. I didn't get the iOS upgrade till yesterday so it's not that, and haven't knowingly made any other changes over the weekend. I've checked both setups and both are syncing using my phone number plus 3 email addresses.
Can anyone tell me how to fix it please?

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so:
Apple - My Apple ID
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
Sign out on the iPhone
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage.
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.

Only some iMessages sync between Macbook Air and iPhone?

Not sure what the deal is. I've been iMessaging a friend of mine on my phone for a couple days and the phone messages are all still there, but only a few of the messages synced with my Macbook once I started using it to message her. I have a couple more convos that have been exclusively on my phone, the last message showing on the Macbook is three days old even though I've messaged them on my phone since then. I've tried logging in and out of iMessage on both devices, not sure what to do about it.

HT204053 I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

My note has stopped syncing between my ipad and iphone

Note has stopped syncing between my ipad and my iphone. Can anybody help please?

Settings>icloud. Assuming you have already set up the connection to icloud (ID, password), then turn on Calendars on that screen.
If they don't appear, then log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and look at the calendars page. If empty, then you are not syncing calendars from your device to icloud. If there, then be sure Calendars is turned on in Settings>iCloud or System Preferences>iCloud.

Connection between MacBook Air and iphone 3gs through a hub isn't good

Several times the connection between my computer and iphone has stopped or cancelled saying that the iphone had been disconnected. But nothing had been touched! Why?

Hey,
Plug the iPhone directly into the MBA. If your going to use a hub make sure it's a powered hub, the hub itself should have it's own power cord. If it's powered by the USB port then your going to have issues.
Hope it helps
Post the results :-D

ITunes won't sync between MacBook Pro and iPhone 6

I have a new iPhone 6 and tried to sync (by cable) my iTunes on the phone to my MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard). I get a message that the MacBook won't sync to the iPhone because the iPhone iTunes needs to be updated. Also, in iTunes on the MacBook, the device (iPhone) is not even recognized for syncing. I thought iTunes on the phone would be updated by syncing with the MacBook! Any advice? I cannot find a way to update iTunes directly on the iPhone. One last quirk, even though the message says it couldn't sync, some songs appear on the phone!

Opps,
I should have also said is it a Received At ID ?
If it is try deleting it and then re-adding it.

Sync between Macbook Air and Ipad

Good morning, I have a problem concerning a sync via Itunes between my Macbook and Ipad in terms of pictures in Iphoto. I discovered that after the succesful sync all the pictures that are vertical are shown at the end of the event. What I noticed, this is so because Iphoto has modified automatically the photo after copy from extern device (photo camera) and the pictures are sorted by date modified. My camera has an Auto-Rotate feature. However, the camera does not actually rotate any pixels in the file, but instead flags it with an instruction: "Display me this way". This is a tag in the Exif metadata.
When I import a file with this tag iPhoto creates a modified version. It does this because most of the apps that integrate with it - email clients, word processors etc - simply don't understand this Exif tag. How can I solve this problem?

Simply on the iPhone in the iCloud preferences turn off the contacts sync. It will ask if u wanna delete or not the contacts on the iphone. You answer to leave the Contacts on iphone. After that proceed to delete all contacts from all u're other devices and the iCloud site. A way to do it fast is to deselect the contact sync on icloud options in every device and when asked tell to delete the contacts from device. When u're sure that all other devices contacts are clean turn again on the contacts sync on the iCloud preferences for each device and at last the iPhone. After few the iPhone contacts will be sync to other device so u'll have same Contacts on all device. In this way when u'll made a change on one of u're device all other will have same change.

Syncing between MacBook Air and iPod Touch

just a few questions to confirm before I commit on the new Gen.5 iPod Touch:
(1) will they sync wirelessly both ways? (i.e., from MacBook to iPod and from iPod to MacBook)
(2) can this wireless syncing be sheduled to work automatically at pre-set time intervals? .... and if so, what intervals are available?
(3) will this syncing interfere with the automatic hourly backups from the MacBook to the Time Capsule?
(4) can this syncing work "backwards"? (i.e., if there's something that's already on both of them, and I want to REMOVE it from both of them, can I accomplish this by removing it from one of them and then it will get removed from the other as part of the next sync?) .... (or, would I need to remove it manually from each of them?)
Thanks,

IMessage not synching between Macbook Pro and iPhone (iOS7) since iOS upgrade.

The oddest thing happened.
I received a text message from a contact who uses an iPhone (I don't know whether he uses iOS7).
I received the text on my phone. I then began a full conversation through "iMessage" on my phone.
Then I opened my computer to check something and his next text message popped up on my computer in "Messages".
When I went back to my phone, I noticed that EVERY single speech bubble from his side of the conversation was missing. On top of that, the next text that I wrote back to him on my iPhone didn't copy over to Messages on my computer.
What gives?
My text conversations always used to be cloned on both devices. And the other person's side of the coversation has never been stolen before.
Thanks
