Connecting iMessages through phone and Mac

I am trying to make my iMessages go through both my phone and my Mac, but can't seem to find the code it asks for on my phone. Any help finding that code?

If on your phone you go to settings -> messages look for forward message. your device should be listed, enable it and a code is asked. After a short time the code will be shown in your messages on your mac.
If you don't receive the code, restart your phone, had that problem and rebooting the phone helped

How to use an apple id on an iPad but not have it connect with my phone and mac

I've recently sold my ipad to my younger sisters who are using my apple id. once they are in wifi they are able to use facetime and imessage but it connects with my email and phone number. They are also able to view my pictures in "my photo stream". Is there a way to let them us my apple id but completely disable the id from imessage, facetime, and making sure my photo stream does not show up?

https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
When you created your iCloud account, the @me.com email address you created also automatically became an AppleID, but you used an exisiting AppleID in the first place to create the iCloud account before deciding on that @me.com address. So your iCloud account is actually the AppleID you used to initially create the account, not the @me.com address assigned once the iCloud account was active (look in your account settings on your iPhone or iPad and you can see what the iCloud account primary AppleID is).
Unless you specifically started using your new @me.com address for things, it is an unused AppleID, but it is NOT your iCloud account primary ID (that is whatever AppleID you used to create the iCloud account initially).
An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, but it is linked to an AppleID account held with Apple and thus can be used to log in to services including the various Apple stores.

My iphone wont connect to itunes on my macbook after I have already synced it. I am running the lastest itunes 10.4 and I have tried restarting both phone and mac. Can anyone suggest what I can do?

You will have to put your phone into recovery mode and restore the phone as new. Since you don't have a back up, you will lose all the data on your phone but you will be able to use it again.

I can not Connect my I Phone and my I Pod nano with my I Book G4

I can not Connect my I Phone and my I Pod nano with my I Book G4. My iBook G4 is still runing on Mac OSX 10.4.11 so I can´t load itunes 10 and I can not Connect my I-Phone and my IPod to my laptop.
The Question is: Way dose Apple dose not suupport their own products.
Acctualy it smels a bit like designed obsolescence

This is tru. I just don´t understand way it is possible to connect an IPhone with a windows PC runing on Windows XP but not with my Apple IBook G4.
All I wont is to conect my IPhone and my IPod with my laptop. In oder to do that I have to buy a opperating system for over a 100 euro (additionaly: Leopard is no more in stoke and Lion dose not run on my laptop) as well as a more RAM for more than 50 Euro.
It can´t be that hard to provide an access over an older version of Itunes. It seems like apple wont me to buy a new laptop.

How do I update my existing Itunes to 11.1 on my phone and mac? Thanks

The 11.1 update I believe is only for OS X and not IOS. Look for the update in the Mac App Store/Updates or System Preferences/Software Update. To be safe, make sure you backup your system first.

That usually means that you previously synced your iPhone to a different computer. An iPhone can only sync to one computer. If you try to sync to a different one the iTunes content on the phone will be replaced by the contents of the new computer.

My iPad 2 only keeps a set number of emails for me to view eventually deleting from the screen. How do stop this as it syncs with my phone and mac book pro neither of which do this?

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

TS1398 I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else. No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else? No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

On the mac, only contacts in the "iCloud" section will sync to other devices. Those in the "On my mac" section do not. Could that be your problem?
To test the icloud situation, log into icloud.com with your mac's safari and to to the contacts page. What you see there is what icloud has received from mac and iphone.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes.

Are you syncing both with the cable to itunes and with icloud? That tends to duplicate your information. Choose one source with which to sync

HT5395 iMessages from phone to Mac

I was able to connect my iphone and mac, so that i could see my iMessages on my Mac, sending and receiving. I am now having issues with this; i am not receiving my messages to my phone, they are going only to my computer. how do i fix this?

Hi,
I have seen this.
When I checked the iPhone > Settings > Messages only the Apple ID was ticked for Send and Receive.
AS the iPhone number is greyed out you cannot change this.
I removed the Apple ID then placed the iPhone in Airplane Mode (to break with the servers)
I waited a few minutes before taken it out of Airplane mode.
I then checked Messages to ensure the iPhone Number alone was ticked for Send and Receive.
It was so I added back the Apple ID and both remained ticked.
I then restarted the app on the MAc and it then go the Pop up alerts to say the iPhone was using the Number and Apple ID.
I Accepted this and the iPhone Number appeared in the "Start Conversion From" drop down and the "Receive At" spot.
Hope this helps.

Messages Issue Across Phone and Macs

iPhone 5 running 8.1.1
iMessage is set to be sent to iPad, 2 iMacs and 1 Macbook air and able to send as SMS
All computers up and running the latest update of Yosemite at 10.10.1
iMac - mid 2007, everything works fine between phone and computer
Macbook - Air - same, everything works fine
iMac - late 2009 - All system preferences are set exactly like the other to Macs, but:
SMS messages won't function properly. All non-message contacts appear with a red background, while on the other two systems, they appear with a green background...
When I text from the phone (which is sitting right next to the computer), the text appears on the Mac, but the contact is still in red (not green) and will say can't send to this contact because it's not iMessage, when I try to reply to it on the Mac.
I hope I was clear and would appreciate any help, thanks.

SSL connection works through terminal and Firefox only

I have issue with SSL connection.
It works through terminal and Firefox only. Everything else requiring SSL is down including App Store. I can't fix the problem by updating software, nor reinstalling as softwareupdate and hdiutil mount patch you via SSL at the end.
No apparent reason.... It all worked fine last night.
Does anyone know what is it and how to fix it?
Thanks.

MurphyCooper,
this might be worth a shot: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Has this made any difference?

Yes.
By design the iPhone can only connect to one iTunes Library at a time.
