Getting text messages to show up on all apple devices

Anyone have any solutions? I have an iphone 5 (ios 7.1.1) iPad air (same) Macbook Pro (osx 10.9.3).  I am watching the WWC from Apple, and "Continuity" is going to solve this problem.  But, in the mean time is there any ways to get text messages to show up on multiple devices.

yes, on each device go to
settings>Messages>Send&Receive and select appropriately.
Remember that this only appliesx to messages from the messages app, you cannot sync sms/mms messages received on an iphone.

  • Since the last update for my Iphone 4s i dont get text messages when connected to wifi. my wife is getting them. Imessage is switched off on both phones.

    since the 6. version update. of my Iphone 4s My wife was getting my text messages. I found the problem was caused by Imessage when connected to Wifi. I deactivated Imessage on both phones to solve the problem. I now have updated my Iphone to 6.1.1 and i dont get text messages anymore. I have Imessage deactivated on my phone but my wife is getting my text messages again. my wifes phone was not updated to 6.1.1 because the last update lost all her contacts from her phone and we had to but them back in one by one from the outlook list. Her contact are listed in outlook on a seperate list to mine but we can only get my contacts download to her phone. We use the same laptop to sysc phones.
    My Iphone does not download photos to My Pictures anymore. I have to copy them across to a folder. I cant find where it backs them up to.
    I have lost all confidence in Apple now as i was forced to update to 6.1.1 because of 3G reception issues and not reciving calls and now back to spending several hours trying to fix my phone to recieve a basic text message.

    Are you and your wife sharing apple id?
    If you are that is the reason why she is seeing your imessage.
    On both phone go to settings - message - send&receive - make sure the cell is the default.
    You will have to uncheck or remove the apple id.

  • My Mac no longer gets text messages in the Messages app

    I use a Macbook Air that had the Public Beta of Yosemite 10.10.2. I also use an iPhone 5s and a retina iPad mini. The iPhone and iPad have iOS 8.1.2 on them.
    I was able to get text messages on my Macbook Air and iPad up until January 20th. The last 3 days, the text messages only go to my iPhone. The iMessages go to all of my devices. I didn't update anything that day, but it just stopped working as it used to. I have AT&T for cell phone service if that has anything to do with it. Does anyone else have this issue? A message has come up a few times on my Macbook saying that an iPhone 5s and iPad mini started using iCloud. I didn't change anything on my phone or iPad, so I don't know why that came up.
    I've tried restarting all of the devices and that did nothing. They are all updated to the latest versions of software now.
    I have the public beta of Yosemite, but I didn't update anything on the 20th that should have changed anything from working properly. I logged out and back into FaceTime on my Macbook Air to try to fix a separate issue on the 21st. That is the only thing that I know of that changed. Is there an iMessage or iCloud outage? Is it an AT&T issue? I don't see anyone else mentioning it on here though. If anyone has had any experience with this issue, I would greatly appreciate any help.

    I have figured it out. In Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, everything was turned off. I did not turn these off at any point. I still don't understand how or why they were turned off, but they are back now after entering a code again.

  • Not getting text messages in group message

    When I am in group messages on my iPhone 4, fw 5.1.1, I randomly dont get text messages. I will get about 50% of the messages while everyone else in the group gets every message. I have already tried restoring my firmware teice, once normal, once while in dfu mode. i then set up my phone as a new iphone and I still had the problem. I use at&t while others in the group messages use sprint verizon and at&t.

    I have had the same problem for the past two weeks, i have figured out that it is something that is with my ATT acount, I can take my SIM card out and put it in any other Iphone and it recreates the problem ( I have replaced Sim card twice).
    ATT people have deleted my account and recreated it and its still not working.
    I can put my roomates SIM card in my phone and group messages start working perfectly.
    All of ppl on my group text are ATT and have iphones.
    Please let me know if u fixed yours or find a solution.

  • I am getting text messages from a "textfree" number that cannot be identified

    I am getting text messages from a "textfree" number that cannot be identified. The text messages are threatening and I am trying to match the unknown number to a person. How can I do that?

    Hello uncl@home,
    Thanks for reaching out to us for assistance with unwanted texts on your device. After all, we're always here to help when you need us. I wanted to touch bases with you to see if the issue has been resolved. Just curious, are you getting unwanted texts from a 10-digit number? If so then you can have the texts blocked at www.vzw.com/spamcontrols. For all other unwanted texts, forwarding them to 7726 is the method to have them addressed. Let me know, just in case more options are needed.
    Thank you...

    I am batch processing in PS 2014 (watermark and saving as jpeg from ps file). I get the message for some but not all 'this file needs to be saved as a copy with this option'. And then I have to save it manually. Does anyone know why this happens? (It is just a plain photoshop file, a watermark is added, then save as jpeg - the jpeg is saved to a different folder than the original photoshop file.)  It happens for about 10 of 30/40  files approximately . Thank you, Kathryn

    I believe I have figured it out - I need to flatten the image, even though there are no layers except for layer 0, first.

  • When I send a text message it shows up as coming from my email address not my phone, can i change this

    when I send a text message it shows up as coming from my email address not my phone, can i change this

    another way to change it is :
    go to settings -> phone -> my number (iput your phone number)
    and then do what razmee209 said,
    after you change it, your phone number will authenticate with the operator that you use,
    I hope this could help you,

  • I want to use my old iphone for my kids as an ipod.  How do I keep from getting text messages on it when it is turned on?  If it is on, and my droid razar is on, text messages will go to the iphone. It is either a 4 or 4s ...I don't have Siri, so I think

    I want to use my old iphone for my kids as an ipod.  How do I keep from getting text messages on it when it is turned on?  If it is on, and my droid razar is on, text messages will go to the iphone. It is either a 4 or 4s ...I don't have Siri, so I think it's a 4.  Thanks

    Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
    It would depend however on the age of the child.
    Good Luck

  • How do I stop getting text messages on my macbook air

    How do I stop getting text messages on my MacBook Air?

    Hi,
    The Mac has an App that is called Messages and one of the accounts in it is the iMessages one that can sync with the iOS one.
    Open the Messages app and go to the Preferences (In the drop down Menu in the Apps name in the Menu Bar)
    In the Preferences select the Accounts tab.
    Select the iMessages account  if it is not selected.
    Untick the iPhone Number to stop iMessages sent to your iPhone Number appearing on your Mac.
    Also go to the General section of the Preferences.
    There is an items that reads "When I quit, set the Status to Off Line"  select this.
    This will stop any incoming Messages (from any source that Messages can join) from launching to app when you have not started it but your Computer is On.
    You may also want to go to your iPhone Settings and remove the Apple ID.
