How come I get messages on my Mac Book and they don't come to my phone ?

I have been getting text messages on my computer and IPad, that do not come thru on my IPhone. Has anyone else had this problem ? I have updated all my devices and it is still happening. I have missed many important messages, because they are not going to my phone.

Hi Mutley72,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like iMessage may not be set up on the iPhone properly.  I would check out this article's troubleshooting for iMessage on iPhone:

    Open Messages. It will prompt you to enter your Apple ID. That's for iMessage. Any messages send via a iPhone's or Mac's Messages app (not the Mail app) to that Apple ID will be iMessages. If you have an iPhone you can also add that Apple ID to your phone so any iMessages send via your phone number will also be in your MacBook Pro.

  • How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

    How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

    You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    Messages is part of Mountain Lion - you can't just download Messages, you have to install Mountain Lion in order to have Messages installed.

    Connect your iPod to your computer and a dialogue box should come up asking if you want to transfer your purchases. If a box doesn't come up, click the iPod in the iTunes sidebar and there should be a button somewhere on the summary page to transfer purchases.
    If you're in the US, you can also redownload your music buy logging into the iTunes store in iTunes, and clicking "purchased" on the right hand side of the store.

  • I have Logic on my iMac and want to install it on my new mac book but my mac book doesn't have a dvd drive. I tried to download the upgrade but it looks for an older version. How do I get Logic on the Mac book ?

    I would like to install logic on my new mac book but there is no dvd drive. I tried to downlaod the upgrade but that didn't work. How do I download it for the first time?
    Thanks!

    You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
    If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
    No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
    or...
    Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

  • How can I get rid of the mac partition and leave windows?

    My 2009 MacPro is currently partition into MacOSX 10.7.5 and Windows 7.  I would like to delete the mac side completely and just leave windows on. I want to do this so I can regain the memory into the windows side and have this laptop be windows ONLY.  Please don't ask why, is simply what I want to do but if you must know... I'm buying the new Pro and I rather keep this old one with windows especially since I have invested $ into the window programs like access and I don't want to loose them but I also don't feel is worth spending more money on windows. The only reason I have windows is because unfortunately and I hate to admit it but apple is not always good for college or business when you need to run programs that are only friendly with windows. Anyways it comes down to not loosing what I invested so I rather keep all the memory in this old computer with windows and all the new memory I'm getting on my new pro with just apple.

    Your best option is to backup, SAVE, all your Windows personal files and program install files that you may have on the drive along with the most current version of the Boot Camp Assistant driver package download to an external drive. Then use a Window 7 install DVD to completely erase, repartition, the drive and foramt it NTFS then install Windows all by itself. Yes you can do that.
    Fooling with the current partitions may cause the system to become unbootable until you use a OS X or a Win 7 installer DVD.

  • How do we get the os x 10.8 when they don't provide it?, how do we get the os x 8.0 when they don't provide it?

    I can't even connect eith anybody to find out how to get this new lion 10.8.   I need the mirror display for my job (teacher) and if it is their fault for giving us an upgrade that took stuff off of our macbooks then why do we have to pay for an upgrade???? I am frustrated and tempted to save up and get a dell!!!! Can anyone shed light on this problem???

    Back up your data, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading Mavericks; if it's incompatible with your computer, so is Mountain Lion. If desired, you can buy a download code for Mountain Lion from the online Apple Store instead, but it's generally only worth doing if you have software compatible with it but not Mavericks.

  • HT4928 my purchased apps do not show up on my mac book but they do if i log in on my iPad,they are not hidden either, why is this?

    I have purchased loads of apps on my Ipad including pages and numbers, I want to use then on my new mac book pro so i logged in to my app store account and none of the apps I can access on my ipad show up in my "purchased" area. they are not hidden under my account settings either, how do i get them on my mac book, I have logged in to the app store via my ipad and theey are all on there, am I being a dumb fool? this is the first Macbook i have ever owned and dont know my way around, any help please!?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Apps for the Mac and apps for the iPad are different and they can't be installed on the other one. Also, the iPad apps you purchased are on the App Store, and the Mac apps you purchase are on the Mac App Store, so you can't get your iPad apps on the Mac App Store.
    In your case, you have to buy Numbers and Pages for Mac on the Mac App Store, because OS X and iOS are different operating systems
