How do I turn off imessage between macbook and iPhone?

I just recently got a MacBook air for Christmas I set it all up and am now noticing that all my messages from my iphone are syncing to my MacBook, (iMessage). I use the same apple Id for my iphone as I do for my macbook (because I don't like having tons of usernames or emails), I just don't want my imessages going to my computer when I am not on my computer, or when someone else is using my computer.

I didn't want to remove my whole apple Id because then I would have to make a new apple ID.  but I figured it out from what you suggested only I went to messages > preferences > accounts and unclicked my phone number where it suggested I could be reached at. Thank you!
Nevermind I thought it worked I guess I will just have to log out of my computer every time I leave it or let someone use it

  • How do I selectively sync contacts between MacBook and iPhone?

    I see several posts mentioning select groups, etc. in iTunes. But when I enter the "Info" tab in iTunes, the only option (radio button) available is "All contacts;" "Select groups" is greyed out.
    Wait - my MacBook Pro's Addressbook doesn't seem to allow me to create any group to start with. Any pointers?

    This is most likely an OS X Address Book question.

    How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.

    Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
    Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
    Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

  • How do I turn off iMessage?

    How do I turn off iMessage?
    I have an ex who won't leave me alone and is, for want of a better descriptor, toxic to my whole life and everything in it.
    He has iMessage on his phone so I need to know how to turn it off on my end so I can block him.
    I have an iPhone 5 - dunno if that helps.

    He can still text you, and turning off iMessage won't stop that.
    Your phone carrier can block #'s  - contact them for the procedure.

  • Can anyone tell me how to stop / turn off my new macbook pro properly?

    Hey. Can anyone tell me how to stop / turn off my new macbook pro properly? Every time I want to put away my computer for a while and then restart the computer again at a later time the battery has been used. That is, the computer indicates that I have used battery, even though I put away the computer with 100% charged.

    Every time I want to put away my computer for a while
    Prior to shutting down, attach the Magsafe.  It will prevent your battery from draining while turned off or even sleeping.
    is how you shut down properly.
