How do I get my iMessages sent from my mac received to my mac only, not my phone?

I'm messaging my friend from imessage on my macbook, but instead of getting her replies to my macbook, they are sent to my phone. I've already tried checking and unchecking my phone number, but it doesn't seem to help. Is there a way I can disconnect my imessages on my macbook from my imessages on my phone? I want my imessages from my macbook only sent to my macbook. How can i keep my replies from my imessage on my macbook, on my macbook?

Uncheck your phone number on the computer, then exit messages and re-open.
Uncheck everything except your phone number on your phone, restart the phone.

  • How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?

    How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

  • I use the "Bootcamp" on my Mac to work between Mac and Windows. How do I get my iTunes music from the Mac side of my hard drive to the Windows side?

    I use my "Bootcamp" harddrive to work on both the Mac side and Windows7 side of my computer. How do I get my Itunes Library from the Mac side to the Windows side of my Mac Book Pro?

    Time Capsule is for backing up your data. It's not really a solution for live file storage; using it will not reduce the bloat of your boot volume.
    If you have a lot of movies, music, etc. in your iTunes Library, that can be a good thing to move to an external drive. Here's how:

    After you follow those instructions to copy your media over to the external drive and point iTunes to it, you can delete it from your internal drive.

    Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.

    Received a new mac for my daughter.  How do you get all the information from old mac?

    Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant when your shiny new Mac first starts up (not Migration Assistant later).

  • My iMessages sent from my mac pro doesn't come out on my iPhone and ipad

    hi ! imessages sent from my macbook pro doesn't come out on my iphone and ipad, any leads on how to address this?
    thanks

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
    Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    Sign out on the iPhone
    Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
    Then, on the phone, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage.
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions. See:

  • How do I get my iMessages to/from iPhone to also appear on my iPad

    Until fairly recently, all iMessages I sent/received appeared on both my iPhone & my iPadmini. Now, they are completely separate. I haven't changed any settings. How do I get back to seeing the iMessages on both devices? Thanks!
    (7.1.2 on both devices, iPhone 4S)

    On all your devices check Settings/Messages/Send & Receive and ensure they are set to be "reached at" on all your devices. I also set the "Start a new conversation" to my iPhone on all my devices. You may also have to Sign Out of your Apple ID by tapping the ID then sign back in on all or one of your devices.
    You may have to do the same for you FaceTime settings.

  • How do i get a numbers spreadsheet from my mac to my iphone have the numbers app so

    i have a numbers spreadsheet on my macbook and the numbers app on my iphone.How do i get the spreadsheet from the mac onto the app on the phone so it updates through icloud

    Not according to Apple.
    From the document you referred to:
    iCloud makes it easy to move Pages, Keynote, and Numbers documents between your computer and your iOS devices. Just sign in to icloud.com/iwork in any modern web browser, and all your iWork for iOS documents will be there — complete with your most recent edits.
    Also, according to Ted Landau (emphasis mine):
    To convert an iOS-formatted iWork document to a Mac-compatible format and transfer it from iCloud to your Mac, you must download the file from the iCloud website via a web browser.
    Which makes the syncing hack he describes in the rest of the article, which I do not recommend, far less useful.

  • How can I get a birthday reminder from items which are in the read-only cal

    I am looking for a solution to get a reminder message for birtdays which are within the read-only calender imported/updated from he address book. I so far have not found the option where to turn on the reminder and I do not want to duplicate items (ie creating another birthday calender inside iCal).
    Thanks for comments.
    PB G4 Ti, 1GHz, 10.2.8   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hi ontour,
    This limitation is one of the many reasons I wrote Dates to iCal. It is a replacement for the Birthdays calendar in iCal, so you would need to turn the Birthdays calendar off in iCal's preferences.

  • How do i get an internet connection from my Mac to my iPad using a usb cable?

    I have a Mac connected to the internet through a modem. However, i also want my iPad to share this connection through the usb cable. Is this possible? If not, is there any other way i can get my iPad to share the internet connection from my Mac?

    It look like you can turn your mac into a hotspot and connect your ipad to it via wifi.

  • HT4623 Hi how can I get pages to download from my mac to my iPad? Do I have to buy it again?

    Thanks

    On the mac, you can save a Pages document to icloud and on the ipad (yes, you have to buy the ipad version of Pages) you can access the document.
    If instead you mean how to download the Pages program from a mac to an ipad, then you can't.  Different operating systems need different programs.  Just like you can't download Word in Windows to a Mac (unless you use a Windows simulator on the Mac).

  • When copying Itunes to an external drive, how do I get iTunes to feed from the file on the external drive and not the computer/

    I've already copied my iTunes folder onto my external hardrive. I'm having problems getting iTunes to pull the information from the external hardrive and not the computer's internal one, though. Any suggestions on how to get it to work?

    iTunes works off of an ITL file in the iTunes folder
    instead of dragging the folder out of the external hardrive and onto the desktop just do this
    -hold shift key and double click iTunes to open it up
    -you will get a prompt asking to create a new library or choose library, click choose library
    -an explorer window will open up and you are going to navigate to the external hard drive and open the iTunes folder
    -in the iTunes folder you are going to find a file that doesn't look like a folder but a page with a corner folded on it that is your iTunes library file
    -double click the iTunes library file and your library will appear and you are good to go
    WARNING: this is a good method for making sure your music doesn't take all of your computer's storage but keep in mind if you remove the external hard drive from the computer you may have issues accessing the library example next to the song titles

  • Hello everybody, I have a mac book pro 13" my question is, how do I get rid of cookies from my Mac book pro  from Warne.

    Hello Evetyubody...
    My name is Warne how are you all doing...
    My question is...
    I was bought this great computer a Mac Book Pro 13" by my sister....
    I know there are cookies from most if not all web sites, how do I go about getting rid of them if they get in to my Mac.
    Any help is good.
    Thanks Much.
    Warne  New Apple User.

    It depends on which browser you're using to surf the web.
    If you're using Safari then open up safari, select "Safari" from the menu bar (hint: Next to the apple logo on top left corner of the screen) and go to preferences.
    Then go to the security tab - show cookies - remove all.
    You can get rid of individual cookies as well if you want to specifically delete a particular one.
    You can get rid of all the browsing history and all the temporary data by selecting safari from the menu bar, select reset safari, make sure all options are selected and hit OK.
    You're good to go!
