  • How do i sync iMessage on my phone and macbook air

    imessage on my phone and macbook air used to be synced, in that all of the messages either sent or recieved would show up on both my iphone 5s and my macbook, in the last week this hasnt happened though and the messages only show up on one or ther other; if my computer is on they only show up on there but if its off they will come to my phone, how can i get them to sync again to make then come up on both??

    Hi bec1993,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    I believe there may be an issue revolving around the Apple iD or the iMessaging accounts being used on your iPhone and MacBook Air.
    In order for iMessages to sync between iOS devices they need to use the same Apple iD. This basically will link all your iOS devices in n Apple ecosystem where they will all be synced across all your iOS devices.
    The first thing to do is check if the iMessaging accounts are using the same Apple iD:
    To do this first on the Mac go to the application Messages:
              1.          Click messages from the menu bar at the top of the screen
              2.          Click Preferences
              3.          Click Accounts, from here you will see all the places where you are getting messages to your MacBook.
              4.          Look at all the accounts where the iMessaging description is/the accounts that are sending and receiving iMessages on your MacBook Air. They all have iMessage in the description below the address
    Now go to your iPhone:
              1.          Go to settings
              2.          Scroll down to Messages
              3.          Make sure that iMessage is turned on
              4.          Then go to Send and Receive and click this
              5.          Make sure that the Apple iD at the top of the screen matches address that was found in Step 4 of the first part and make sure they match up and are identical.
    If they aren't - you can change the wrong one and this with fix your problem and have the messages resyncing again.
    If they are the same and still not syncing, simply log out of the accounts on both sign out in the preferences on Messages OS X and log out in Messages iOS and then reenter your details in both correctly.
    I hope this helps and please keep be posted as to if you succeed.
    Many Thanks

    Hi, my macbook air, 2014 just upgraded to OS X Yosemite. My iPhone is the 5 version, iOS 8.02. I don't know how to connect my phone to the mac for the call feature. What should I do first?

    Your AppleIDs for both need to be identical, and both using the same WiFi network.

  • How to get contacts from phone to macbook air

    How do I get all my contacts from my iPhone 5s to my new macbook air?  I have a different account than my apple ID hooked up to my phone so I don't know what to do.

    Unfortunately, content such as contacts cannot be transferred from one Apple ID account to another nor can Apple ID accounts be merged.

  • Can't Pair Phone with Macbook Air with Yosemite

    I just upgraded to Yosemite and now I can't pair my iPhone 6 with my Macbook Air. I believe, and I may be wrong, that I have to have the devices paired via Bluetooth to have the features such s being able to answer my phone on my MacBook Air, or using my Air to make a call via my iPhone etc..
    This will be the first time I have tried to pair them together.
    Both my Phone and my MacBook Air show the other device. When I click on pair on the Air I get the message with the number, which shows on my phone as well, and then I click pair on the phone to accept, and then I get the error "Connection Unsuccessful" saying that my MacBook Air is not supported. Really?
    Is this a fix coming with IOS 8.1?
    Anybody have an answer?

    ok. I figured it out. Not the bluetooth part, still won't pair, but I have the "answering my iPhone" with my mac part figured out. I just had to turn on the "iPhone cellular calls" option under FaceTime settings.

  • How to transfer photos from blackberry phone to macbook air

    I just got this macbook air and want to upload pictures from my blackberry phone. Is it just as easy as plugging into the USB port and transfering a file?

    iPhoto will import photos from any device that "looks like" a standard digital still camera - consult your manual of Kodak tech support to see if your Kodak Pocket video camera has such a setting -- if it does not then yhou will need to use Kodak software or the finder to get your photos and then import them into iPhoto

  • ICloud on my phone and macbook air

    I downloaded the new OS for my iPhone 3G. Theproblem may not be a problem. Should I be able to update my phone from my macbook air using wireless only? What is the difference between backing up to iCloud and backing up to my computer? It may be working correct but Im expecting something else. I had to create a new account name with a @me.com. When I open iTunes should it connect to the phone? I know thius is a lot but I would appreciate any help anyone could give me.

    You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
    Hope I can help!

  • HT1766 Recently moved from Windows to MacBook Air. How do i transfer contents from my phone to MacBook Air without loosing any content such as text messages from iMessage?

    Some text messages are really important and some are really sensitive. Also, what about music, can download them via iTunes store. Will all my data be lost just for this otherwise i will regret choosing apple!!
    Also my MacBook Air was just purchased today!!!

    Open two Finder windows. In the first, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Library/Fonts/ as the path. Repeat the process with the second, but delete the ~ in the path. Drag the fonts from the first window to the second.

  • Can I transfer photos via bluetooth from samsung phone to macbook air?

     

    Probably not. Apple views BlueTooth as a conduit for connecting peripherals such as keyboards and mice, not for mass transfering data. See this article for ways to transfer pictures from an Android phone to the Mac.

  • How do I send photos from my cell phone to my macbook air?

    I have an LG Optimus F3 cell phone with bluetooth.  I thought I could wirelessly transfer photos from the phone to my Macbook Air. 
    I successfully paired these two devices, but when I go into the Bluetooth menu and select the Bluetooth for my Macbook Air, the phone shows "No nearby Bluetooth devices found"  and in System Preferences in the Air, it shows my phone as "Not Connected".  I can't figure out what I have missed!   Help please!

    Thanks for the info!  Yes, my phone supports Bluetooth transfers and I had previously successfully paired both the phone with the Air and vice versa.  I also checked out the Air manual and the phone manual and everything was correct.... but, I gave up after several attempts and ended up emailing the photos from my phone.  It took a while but, it worked.  Next time I see my son, I will go over it with him becuase he is much more Mac savvy than I am!  I appreciate the input.  Thanks again!

  • My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incredible 2 cell phone and I can not transfer my photos from my cell phoen to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can no longer do so. i havenot upgraded to any new software.

    My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incrdible 2 cell phone and therefore I can not transfer any photos from my cell phone to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can not do so now. I have not upgraded to any new software. My USB cable is plugged in properly and I just get an error message -- "No Android Device Found". What could be the problem?

    I had the same issue with the Galaxy S4 trying to see what the hype was about and was my first and last android phone. With that being said unfortunately it is a hit or miss with the Mac recognizing an android device or not.  It worked perfectly fine the first time around and then it stopped working for no apparent reason. Through trial and error nothing I did solved the issue.   I did however plug it in my Mac and left it connected for about 30-40 min to charge for a bit and all of the sudden it recognizes the phone. So I just launched Android File Transfer and everything else became fluid after that.    I have no explanation as to why it happened that way, but what I gathered from this is maybe you just have to let it sit for a minute while plugged in before the Mac recognizes it, after all they are opposing software.  On a side note this is why I will always be an apple user, Iphones and the like never have this problem

  • MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122

    MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122
    I have created a password protected wifi internet network on my Macbook air. I tethered by Andriod phone onto this network, but the internet connection works intermittently on the phone, and when it stops working the network continues to show as connected to the shared network mostly(other times it keeps renewing the wifi IP address on the Andriod phone).
    Also the network the MBA is connected to, is a hardwired one using a SSH login account in a student accomadations.
    I am not sure, but all the restarting and refreshing of system, phone and wifi sharing and re-enabling wifi is not reparing the internet connecting on the wifi network for the phone
    Really puzzled, if this is one of the Apple, Andriod compatability issues.
    Cheers,
    Vivek

    Hi.
    I'm having trouble with the wireless connection on my new home hub 3. Most devices will connect easily, but there are three devices that have trouble connecting. These are an Android Phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini), an android tablet (Sony Tablet S) and an iPod. All of these devices work perfectly on other network connections, and other devices in the house are quite happy connecting to the network.
    The Androids can see the network, and will try to connect to it, but when they do they just go through a loop of "connecting">>"acquiring IP address">>"disconnected". I have tried resetting the Home Hub with a pin, and that lets the devices connect for about 24 hours, but after that time they stop connecting again.
    I'm really not sure what to do to fix the problem, so I will very much appreciate some help.
    Many Thanks.
    My lads SGMini connects perfectly to our hub3
    Have you installed the BTFon app to these devices?
    If so, you could delete it and then see what hapens.....
