How do i get texts messages on my computer

I have an iPhone 5 and would like to be able to get my text messages on my computer. In this case I left the phone at home and need a way to check messages.
Thanks

To do that, you would have to have iMessage setup on both your iPhone and your Mac (no PC option), take a look at this Apple doc -> Messages (Mountain Lion): About iMessage and iOS devices

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and you use iMessage, you can use it in your Mac if you want. OS X Mountain Lion includes Messages, that allows you to use iMessage.
First, check that your computer is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If so, open  > About this Mac, and see what OS X version you have:
10.5 or older: you have to upgrade first to Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
10.6 or 10.7: open  > Software Update, and install the most recent version. Then, open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
10.8: you are already using OS X Mountain Lion, so open the Messages app.
While OS X Mountain Lion is being downloaded, make a backup of your files and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
If you aren't referring to iMessage, you can't send text messages in your computer

why do i get text messages on my computer on my computer but not my phone

You are getting iMessages, and they are going to your Apple ID email. Check the settings on your phone to see what you have checked for Send and Receive from, and then also check start conversation from. If you are sending from your Apple ID, this is what your friends are sending to.

How to stop getting text messages intended for another family member?

Hi,
I occassionally get a text message intended for another member of my family, and vice versa. When that happens we both get the message, and the other person can then see the rest of the thread. I think the problem is that we share 1 AppleID. If that's the cause I'm not sure how to correct it because we are also sharing all our app, music, and video purchases made with that ID. We are also on the Sprint network, if that is relevant.

On each device: Settings>Messages>Send/Receive...edit here & just make sure phone number is checked, or that only one person uses the Apple ID. Either that, or you each get separate Apple ID's for iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud. you can continue to use the same ID for iTunes content.

Getting text messages from your computer

I left my phone at home today and I feel like its the end of the world. Is there a way I can set it up where I can get my text messages sent to my computer where I am at now until I get home? Kinda like call forwarding but text forwarding?

Hi Chuck-Stick,
I was recently without my phone and felt so lost. Let's see what we can do for you. I do apologize for the delay in responding. You can go to www.vtext.com and log in and send and receive messages via our site. We have also added a new feature that is awesome! It's called Verizon Messages, if you have an Android phone or even an iPad you can download the app and get your messages on multiple devices. Here is a link.http://vz.to/1aOnfRS Keep us posted if you need anything else.
Thanks, BobbyS_VZW

How to send a text message from any computer?

Is there a way to send a text message to my iphone from a computer that is connected to the Internet? If so, what web site is needed to do this?

For Mac users running Leopard it can be done from iChat.
Just choose FIle>Send SMS.
If you don't have Leopard you can do it this way:

I expect you can send from any AIM client.

Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!! How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??

We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone. If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!! And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!!

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

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?

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.

mono 8 bit 8k is 64kbps, yes. 8 bits times 8,000 = 64,000 = 64k bits/sec.
And yes I think that's a typo - there's no such thing as 'Mone' that I've ever heard of...
But you might want to check to find out if this is a mu-law non-linear format, possibly - there are several ways that 8 bit 8k wav files can be encoded, and typically phone systems don't use linear ones. If you have a log-in to Zultys' user-base system they have an FAQ there, I believe - the answer might be in that, and it won't cost $500.

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.
