Can you sync text messages to your MacBook Pro?

I have read some archieved answers for backing up messages on your Mac on AD. However, is there a simple app that will let me sync current messages on my iPhone to say, my desktop or even iTunes where I can look at them quickly without running down my iPhone? Just want to sync texts. Everything else syncs fine. Thanks!

Used it since my first iPhone, well worth the money.

There are apps available in the App store that allows you to sent text messages to phones and other devices. Text+ is one such app. Some apps charge for the texts similar to a phone if you do not send to another device using the same app.
WIth iOS 5 you can use the Messages app to text to another iOS 5 device.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and you use iMessage, you can use it in your Mac if you want. OS X Mountain Lion includes Messages, that allows you to use iMessage.
First, check that your computer is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If so, open  > About this Mac, and see what OS X version you have:
10.5 or older: you have to upgrade first to Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
10.6 or 10.7: open  > Software Update, and install the most recent version. Then, open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
10.8: you are already using OS X Mountain Lion, so open the Messages app.
While OS X Mountain Lion is being downloaded, make a backup of your files and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
If you aren't referring to iMessage, you can't send text messages in your computer

Hi silverk,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand the need for all of your calendars to be up to date across all of your devices and how frustrating it can be when they are not syncing as you would expect. In this situation I would suggest reading over and using the attached article for troubleshooting.

I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro

I had a nasty suprise I paid out over £1500.00 to be told that I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro.
the reason for buying a Mac is that the windows 7 machine is in little bits so how do I sync that. there is no music on this Mac pro and if I try to sync my phone it wants to wipe my phone That is Pants!
<Re-Titled by Host>

FTFY (for readability):
"I had a nasty surprise, when after having paid out over £1500.00, I learned that I am unable to sync my phone (unidentified model) with my new MacBook Pro (unidentified model).
The reason I bought the Mac was due to the fact that my former computer, a Windows 7 machine, has been damaged beyond repair.
There is no music currently loaded onto my new Mac, and when I try to sync the data on my Mac to my phone (unidentified model) I am prompted with a warning that my phone data will be wiped clean. This is not good!"
Okay, so I'm just being a little cheeky here - no offense intended.
Details are always best when seeking assistance, however. Try not to make others do the work for you. Take the time to do it yourself.
What model of Mac do you have?
What version of OSX are you using?
What version of iTunes are you using for syncing purposes?
What model of phone are you using and what software version is installed on it?
Try to better articulate the steps you are performing and the warnings that you are encountering.
Best of luck.

Can you put windows on a new macbook pro

can you put windows on a new macbook pro ? yes or no, which notebook can i put windows on if not the macbook pro?

WIndows 7 is the only Windows OS supported by the new Macs.
You usually use Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive and install the Windows product on the Mac.
This creates a system where you boot into Mac OSX OR Windows.
see more at http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
There are programs such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion that can create a Virtual Machine within Mac OSX - giving you access to both Operating Systems at once. You may get slight performance issues as you would be essentially running two Operating Systems at once.

Can't receive text messages on my macbook

I used to receive incoming iPhone text messages on both my iPad Air 2 and my MacBook 15" Late 2013 but since update to Yosemite I don't get any of incoming text message. Any help, thanks

Hey wafa2,
If the Messages app was working on your MacBook before upgrading to Yosemite first check to see if the Continuity feature is set up correctly:
Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-gb/TS5458
Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite
Occasionally when you use Continuity with your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, you might find that a phone call doesn't transfer to your other devices. You might not see the Handoff app icons where they should be. Or Instant Hotspot might not share the Internet with your other devices. Learn how to fix these issues.
If a Continuity feature like Handoff, phone calls, Instant Hotspot, or SMS messages isn't working the way you'd expect, make sure your devices meet the requirements. Then check your settings.
Check System Requirements
Make sure your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac meet the system requirements for Continuity, and for the specific features you want to use.
Check your settings
Check the following settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
Make sure your iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi and comparing the name of the network each is on.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
Go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps and make sure Handoff is on.
Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
Check the following settings on your Mac:
Go to the Wi-Fi icon at the top of your screen and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
Make sure your Mac and iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your iOS device and compare the name of the network with the Wi-Fi network on your Mac.
Go to the Bluetooth icon at the top of your screen and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
In System Preferences > General, select “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.” If you don't see this setting, your Mac may not support Handoff.
Open the FaceTime app, go to FaceTime > Preferences and turn on “iPhone Cellular Calls.”
Go to System Preferences, and sign out and then sign in again to your iCloud account.
If confirming the Continuity settings doesn't resolve the issue, try this on your MacBook Pro: 1) sign out of your Messages account 2) restart the computer 3) sign in again. Also, check the settings outlined in this article:

Could you retrieve text messages from your phone by looking on your bill?

im trying to retrieve messages that was erased off my phone after i plugged it up to my mac does anyone know?

The title of your post isn't the same as the post, so I'm a bit confused. If you want to see the numbers being texted by phones on your account, log into your on-line MyVerizon account (assuming you are the Account Owner and logged in as such) and click the blue Usage Details. Select the appropriate line at the top of the page (if applicable) and then under the table showing text usage, click the blue View Messaging Details. However, texts sent/received via iMessage won't show up since they don't go through Verizon's system.
If you want texts sent to your e-mail, you should be able to forward them. If it's another phone on your account that you're wanting those texts sent to your e-mail, there may be an app for that, but I'm not sure. With Androids, you can get apps that back up text messages and then forward them to your e-mail; I don't know if there's a similar iPhone app or not.

The IOS and Mac OS are completely different. Software written to run in one can't run in the other. The same is true of other mobile OSes and the apps that run in them.

How do you sync calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro running Maverick

I had no problem syncing my iPad with my MacBook Pro before upgrading to Maverick. Now I just keep going round in circles. It's such a basic requirement to be able to sync calendars, but just so problematic.
