How to integrate imessage between an iphone and mac

how is it possible to integrate your devices to show the same messages on imessage but have people see your contact with your number from your phone and other device? it keeps showing up with my email.

At this time, if you want to see the messages on all the devices, you need to use your email.

    I recently had to send my old iPhone back and get a new one. When I did, I simply did a restore and backup with my computer. When I did that, my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad are no longer synced. No matter how many times I went to settings, messages and adjusted it, my iPad and iPhone recognize when I send a message out but not when I received a message from another IMessage user to my iPhone. My iPad simply doesn't get those messages. HELP!!!!

    If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
    However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
    Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
    Good luck in retrieving that information.

  • How can I sync iMessage between my iPhone and iPad

    Hello all, I have a firtst gen iPad (running iOS5.1.1). I using my Apple ID to run iMessege on it. Recently, I bought iPhone 5 (2 month ago) running iOS 6.1.3. I sing up to iMessage using Apple ID but start new converstion from my phone number as caller ID. Somehow only 1 conversion syncs between my iPhone and my iPad. Recently it stop. So I start looking for answers. I want to sync my all converstions, I found that I can set phone number as Caller ID on an iPad but I can't found how. I will apreciate if anyone will put some light on how iMessage works.
    I still want that my caller ID will be my phone number cause I don't want to make 2 separte thread on the one who get my message.
    If I set my email as caller ID so when I'll send a text message from my phone it will make a seperate thread converstion from me on the device of the person I send the text to.

  • Need Help Understanding How To Use iMessage Between Two iPhones

    I have an iPhone 4 and my wife an iPhone 3GS.  We both have iOS 5, but I have discovered something about iMessage I need to make sure I understand correctly.  As I understand it iMessage can send text even if our voice carrier service is unavailable.  I tend to loose signal inside the building I work in.  I usually can get texts in and out, but sometimes not.  But in testing the two phones sending iMessages, I've noticed is that if I have one of the phones with iMessage turned on and the other with iMessage turned off, the two phones will not be able to exchange text.  Is that how it's supposed to work?  Even though one of these phones can receive an iMessage doesn't mean the other one send one back.  Can't the system detect when one phone is connected and another one not, and the one that is not gets sent SMS messages instead?  I don't want to try to send my wife an iMessage because I can't get a voice signal in my building, but her have iMessages turned off and not able to get any messages from me, iMessage or SMS.  I guess I need help better understanding how this actually works between the two phones so I can always get texts back and forth between my wife and I.  My other misgiving is that this iMessage thing consumes my data limit.  My wife gets unlimited because she had her phone before the limits were imposed, but I got on board after, so I am hesitant to use iMessage all the time because of it.  I have no intention to send picture mail through iMessage, but the thing is if I wanted to switch to SMS to send picture mail to save data, but my wife's phone is set to iMessage, she won't get it.  If this is how this thing is supposed to work, I'm not really impressed.  Some insight would be appreciated

    I think you are making this way too complicated. Why are you turning iMessage off? If you are at your office connect to the WiFi there and send your wife messages that way (unless your office is blocking the port iMessage uses). When possible the two phones will use iMessage but will revert to SMS is iMessage is not available if that option is set that way.
    I would not worry about using up your data plan if you have the 2GB, text iMessages are going to be very small and MMS (picture) ones are not very large either. Unless you are sending hundreds of picture iMessages a day you will have a hard time using up your data.
    If you are near an Apple Store you should explore signing up for an intro iPhone course and have them run through iMessage options.

  • IMessage working on iPhone and Mac. Not on iPad2

    Pretty much as i say on my subject, i have a 4s that is working greatly, a macbook pro working perfectly with messages beta BUT i cant make my ipad 2 work with imessage at all. I have iOS5 on both ipad 2 and iphone 4s. Same appleID on the 3 devices. Any advice?
    DNS on my wifi is set to 8.8.8.8 (had to put it that way for FaceTime purposes and have read on the forum that had helped several users solve their iMessage issues)
    Believe me when i say that everything works BUT iMessage on my iPad2

    Of course my friend. Remember i know how to use this (since im using it over the iPhone 4s and my macbook). I even tried a test message to my wife who also have an iPhone and have her number active and her appleID (meaning that i tried messaging her both ways -phone # and email- and nothing happened)
    By the way, i even made a restore of the iPad reinstalling the iOS5 and got no results at all. This is a weird case, dont u think?

  • How do I turn off my iPhone and Mac receiving my text messages?

    I do NOT want my text messages to scroll on my Mac computer screen I want my iPhone separate from my computer. How do I turn it off.

    Hi,
    On the Mac > Messages > Preference > Accounts > iMessages account is the iPhone Number list as  a "Receive At" item ?
    Is that Number ticked ?  (if it is you will still receive iMessages that are to the iPhone Number).
    Do these things.
    On the Mac have Finder Window open and use th Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
    Navigate to the Preferences folder
    Find the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist item and drag it to the Trash.
    Restart Messages.
    You may have to re-enter the Apple ID.
    The other Receive At items should also be removed.
    On the iPhone > Settings > Messages make sure the Apple ID is removed (not only as an Unticked "Send and Receive item)  but removed as the linked ID.
    The place the iPhone in Airplane mode for a few mins.
    On coming out of Airplane Mode go to the Messages setting again and check the iPhone Number verifies.
    It should now be the only listed Send and Receive item on the iPhone (It is normal that it is greyed out and ticked and that you cannot change it)

  • I am having trouble with syncing my iMessage on my iphone and Mac

    . It was working perfectly yesterday but now all of the sudden my phone number is not showing up on my Mac Pro. I have tried logging in and out on both devices and I have deleted my apple ID from both and re-added them. It is still not working. I am confused because it was working perfectly the other day and I did not change a thing and then it started to mess up. Help??

    HI,
    Is the number now absent from the Messages > Preferences > Accounts pane for the iMessages account or is it just Unticked ?
    Normally deleting the Apple ID on the phone gets a prompt that it will be deleted from "all Devices" (I have presumed that mean the Mac as well as it leaves an email listed but unticked on mine).
    However on an iPhone it should also then Unlink the iPhone Number and Apple ID link which you then have to recreate.
    I would delete the Apple ID from  the iPhone and then restart it.
    I would also restart the Messages app
    Then I would re-add the Apple ID to the iPhone.

  • Sync between iPad, iPhone and mac of notes in icloud

    The notes i ahve made on my ipad does notsyncronize with the other devices in iclod (Iphone or mac) ? what to do?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

  • I have an ipad mini. I do not have an iphone or a mac. I want to add my friend's telephone number (she has an iphone) to my contacts so we can use imessage between her iphone and my ipad. How do I do this?

    How do I add a friend's phone number for messaging on my ipad? I do not have an iphone.

    Hi
    To enable imessage on ipad check that imessage is enabled in settings>messages but note that any message that you send from your ipad will be from your email address as you dont have a mobile number linked to imessage.
    With everything enabed you should just be able to add contact into your contact list and then message them from there
    Hope this helps

  • How to transfer music between Old iphone and new iphone

    The problem is that I don't have my computer that had all my music anymore so I would need to do it without a computer. I just got the 5s and want to get my music from my 4s. I know you can't do it with I cloud but any ideas?

    Can't do it without a computer.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer all iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iOS device, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store only.
    First you need to authorize the computer to be used with your iTunes account or Apple ID with iTunes.
    With the old iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of the iPhone.

  • Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?

    Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?

    Not sure exactly what you are going for...
    You're aware you need to use iTunes to sync apps between your iPhone and Mac unless you are running V10.7.2 and have iCloud setup.
    BTW...  apps that are optimized for an iPhone will not run on the Mac OS X and vice versai, two different operating systems.
    It really helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed when you post for help. Thanks!
