How can I see my iPhone messages on my Macbook Pro?

Hi, and thanks for any and all responses.
I just upgraded to ML 10.8.1.
One of the features I was anticipating was a sync between Messages on my iPhone (4S, 5.1.1), and MacbookPro (MBP.)
Right now, and messages coming into my iPhone are not visible in Messages on the MBP.
I have read elsewhere this is a feature of IOS 6, due in the fall.
I have read similiarly that I need to change my Messages Settings on the iPhone to Receive At, my email address. (Unacceptable.)
Checking settings I noticed something interesting.
As I first obtained an AppleID many years ago, before MobileMe, my AppleID on my MBP, (and in Messages), is [email protected], whereas my AppleID on my iPhone is [email protected]
Should this make any difference? Should I someohow change my AppleID on my MBP to .me?
Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks for the replies!
Ok, I want to be clear, so here is the first page in Messages Settings on the iPhone.
So I Click on "Caller ID. And the phone number is checked...
Are you saying to change the check mark to the email address?
And if so, how will that affect receiving Messages on my iPhone?
Will I still receive messages to the Phone Number?
Will I lose all the previous message threads?

  • How can i pair my iPhone 5s to my MacBook Pro on yosemite

    i cannot pair my iPhone 5s to my Macbook pro. i recently upgraded to Yosemite, and was quite excited to use the new handsoff feature. To discover that the 2 devices would not pair. How exactly would handsoff work? A wifi connection, or bluetooth? i'm not the only one having this issue; it seems to be something we're all experiencing. it's a silly issue to have you ask me, or is there something I am doing wrong?

    First, verify that the Mac is capable of using Handoff. Hold down the option key and select System Information... from the Apple menu. In the System Information window, select Bluetooth from the list on the left. Near the top of the summary of "Hardware, Features, and Settings," you should see this line:
              Handoff Supported: Yes
    Follow the instructions in this support article. All the devices using Handoff must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If the Mac also has an Ethernet connection, disconnect the Ethernet cable.
    If Handoff still doesn't work, on the mobile device, turn Handoff off and back on as directed in the linked article. On the Mac, turn Bluetooth off and back on. You might have to restart a mobile device to get it working.

    Huh? You can't. Once you delete something, well it's deleted.
    If you have a backup, that contains these deleted messages, you can restore from that backup, to restore them to your phone. If no backup, or your backup has been overwritten, then they are gone.

    how can I see my iphone backup to my hp computer - I want to actually see some of the files on the backup to be sure it actually worked

    You can't see them as such.  The entire backup is stored as a database, sql file.  You can find the backup file here:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and clickOK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.
    You will need an sql reader to view the contents,

    Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

    How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
    If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

    How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

    I'm assuming your dvd drive is broken? if you have a thumb drive large enough (8GB or better), you can use another computer to make a bootable image from the install dvd to the thumb drive. then you can install from the the thumb drive.

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from my MacBook Pro to my iMac or hard drive??

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from my MacBook Pro to my iMac or to my external hard drive? 'Help' is not helping!!

    To move to another machine:
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    To move to an external disk:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
