How do I sync my iPhone messages with Mac

Having trouble syncing messages from my iPhone to Macbook. Am I doing something wrong in settings?

For others.
Enable the Messages app on the phone.
The Number then registers with the iMessages Server  (it will take a few moments to Verify).
Once that is done you can Set whether it is to send SMS if it can't do iMessages.
You can then Add the Apple ID  which in turn links the tow and makes Pop ups appear on the Mac version.
You need to accept these and the iPhone Number is added to the Receive At list and a drop down appears for Start Conversation From.
The "Sync" as Apple calls it is only "Display on All devices".
Deletions and other actions have to be done on each device separately.

  • How do I sync my iPhone 3g with iPad I have iCloud on both devices

    How do I sync my iphone 3g with ipad I have icloud on both devices

    An iCloud email account is an IMAP account. With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account. Unless you have changed the Mailbox Behaviors with the account settings on each device, the account's Drafts, Sent Mailbox, and Deleted Mailbox are stored on the server with each device. Any user created mailboxes are also stored on the server.
    On each device, go to Settings > iCloud. Contacts and Calendars need to be turned on for over the air syncing.
    To have iMessages synced with each device, check this link.

    If you have an iPhone 3G, how are you accessing an iCloud account since iOS 5 is not supported with an iPhone 3G?

  • How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

    I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
    My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
    Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
    "Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
    What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  • My laptop recently broke and I had to buy a new one. How do I sync my iphone 4 with the new laptop without losing all data?

    Hi there,
    Well the title says it all really.
    I have to sync my iphone 4 with my new laptop as the old one broke. How do I do this without losing all my pictures, music, contacts & things purchased form the itunes store?
    It seems really silly that everything gets wiped off the phone when using a different laptop. This problem must happen quite often as I am sure I am not the only person who has had a pc that has broken.
    I hope you someone can help. All the stuff on my phone is important to me.
    Many thanks

  • How do I sync my iPhone 5 with my iPad ?

    how do I sync my iPhone with my iPad so my pictures and other content from my phone go to my iPhone?

    One way is to setup iCloud on both devices https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html
    and use Photo Stream for the photos iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    If you are planning to upgrade to iOS 8 which is scheduled to be released on September 17 you may want to wait as it appears to have significantly different photo sharing capabilities and waiting would save you from needing to set up and learn the current method right before it is changed.
