I am not receiving SMS in Message App of my MacBook Pro

I have MacBook Pro, running OSX Moutain Lion (10.8.5). Months ago I could receive SMS of my Iphone 5 in Message App of my MacBook, but now I do not. I opened Messages App of my computer, then Preferences, and then selected my apple ID under Accounts, my account is enabled but there is not option saying "You can be reached for Messages at"?
Can anyone hlep me how to solve this issue?

Hello abdulrazeqfakur,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iMessage on your MacBook Pro.
You mentioned that you are not seeing "You can be reached for Messages at" in your Messages Preferences on your Mac. I recommend first checking to see if iMessage is enabled on your iPhone and that you are signed in with the same Apple ID on both devices:
You can sign in to your Apple ID on an iPhone by tapping Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

Additionally, it is important to note that with Mountain Lion, you are able to send messages to a phone number, but you will receive messages sent to your Apple ID:
Check with your friends to see if they’re messaging you at an email address listed in the “You can be reached for messages at” list or if they’re sending messages to a phone number.
Messages can send messages to a phone number, but it can’t receive messages sent to a phone number.

All of the sudden my Messages app on my Macbook Pro is no longer syncing to my iPhone texts. What do I need to do to reestablish the flow between devices?

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
          Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and 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.

HT202549 I need help with my messages app on my macbook pro.

I'm trying to send/receive messages to/from my son who recently switched from iphone to android. I have a 4s running ios 7.1.2 if that matters. When I try to send him a message through the messages app on my laptop, it says "(his number) is not registered with imessage." But my daughter who has an iphone 5 says that she gets his messages on her macbook pro and can also send messages to him from the messages app on there.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Let me know if you need any more information.

Hi WT13,
You can do that too but not with the current configuration that you have. To get SMS messages on your Mac, you would need to have iOS 8 on your iPhone and also be running OS X Yosemite on your Mac. Once you have that set up then you can enable SMS messages to have them forward to your Mac.

HELP - not receiving sms on android after using ichat

For the past 3 months, I have lost the ability to receive SMS texts about once a month.
The first time it happened right after I sent somone an ichat on my ipad. Up until then, I had not used ichat for about one year, which is when I went from an iPhone to an android (and I have not used it since then either). I did some research online and found some suggestions on how to fix the issue. A few forums suggested removing my cell phone # from my Apple Support profile. A few others said to change my apple password. I did both and my messages started coming in about 3 days after they stopped.
About 3 weeks later, I stopped receiving them again. I looked at my Apple Support profile and found that my cell phone # had been added back in. Thinking that maybe Apple has some job that runs every so often and repopulates information on blank fields, I removed my cell phone # again and entered a bogus #.
Couple days ago I stopped receiving texts again. I looked at my Apple Support profile and found that the bogus # is still listed so that was not what fixed it the first time.
I have called ATT (my carrier) repeatedly and they have tried to trouble shoot my problem with no success. They suggest that it's only something that Apple can fix. I have also called Apple and they suggest that it's an ATT issue. No one has been able to help me. It really surprises me that this is not a known issue with a fix.
So here is the problem in a nutshell:
I am not receiving sms texts on my android, from anyone at all.. doesn't matter what kind of phone they have or who their carrier is.
I DO receive mms texts.
All of my texts are going through no probelm.
Does anyone have any clue how I can stop this from happening every few weeks? I want to stick with my current phone until the next iPhone comes out. Any leads on this issue are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!

I just don't understand what you mean by "invites". What kind of "invite" did you send "from another gmail to gmail"?
What about a simple email? Do you receive simple email messages to that address?

Nokia 6233 can't receive SMS/text message

My Nokia 6233 stopped receiving SMS/text messages, although I can send messages and receive/make phone calls. I let the battery run flat and then recharged again. It received some messages but stopped receiving messages again a short time later. I must say I have not been letting my battery run flat on a regular basis. Is this the cause? I bought the phone 2 years ago.
I do have 600 plus messages in my phone- is this the cause too?
Cheers.

I don't think it is a battery issue. The more likely culprit is your memory getting almost full. Try deleting some old unwated messages or any other files. It is probably time to do a spring clean after 2 years.

N9 not receiving SMS's

A friend of mine has an N9 and it's not receiving SMS's.
What could the problem be and what could they do to get it working again?
They've tried restarting the phone, and sending an SMS to themself.

@CLTSchwartz
Would be interested if this has started after updating to latest v30.2012.07-1_PR_001 or not. Strange as you might expect to receive SMS but not send if issues with message centre number. It might be an idea to check in Settings > Applications > Messages > Message centre number - where default is to use from SIM card:

Hi,
Have you tried resetting the option of the iPhone so it causes a New code number to appear on the Mac ?
Repeat the setting if you don't see a code number straight away.

I am not receiving some texts messages as of 2 days ago

Please help. I am new to the site. My iPhone 4s just started not receiving some text messages in the last 2 days. Any ideas?

There's a small vocabulary issue here.
"Reset" means a specific action, which does not involve iTunes at all. You reset your iPhone by holding the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears. You could try that - it's risk free - but probably would not work.
"Restore" (not reset) is something you do using iTunes. Plug your iPhone into iTunes on your computer (current version: 11.1.3). Let it sync. Then choose "Restore" from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes.

My husband and I both have 4 iphones. I do not receive any text messages that he sends me. He gets mine though. He sends texts to other iphone users and they get them. I get text messages from other phones including iphones. Please help.

Both of yall need to go to settings, meassages, send and recieve, scroll down to start new conversation from, and make sure you have different email addresses with a check mark beside it. Right now sounds like they are the same email addresses.

Picture messages without a texting plan are 25 cents each. Better than the $1.99 or $2.99 from the online store....
Attaching to an email would not work as mobile email does "do" attachments.
Sending to your online album will use text messages, I believe. Better to use a micro SD card, save to the card, and transfer them to your computer that way.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

HT4864 Thank you! This may sound lame but are these instructions for the blackberry? I'm receiving iCloud emails without problems on my MacBook Pro and I'd rather not mess w/ settings there.

You don't need to start a new thread to continue a conversation, you can just tack onto the original one. The settings I referred you to are for the Blackberry, since that's the device which is not receiving mail: anything which is working can be left alone.

My mail app on my Macbook Pro is not working.

Starting last month (october) my Mail App on my Macbook Pro has not been working properly. It does not automatically update itself and then it just stoped recieving emails all together. The Mail App does not close properly and I can not even force close it. This results in my laptop not being able to turn off. I tried taking the mail box offline and disconnecting the email. Nothing happened. Recently, the app will not even open correctly. What can I do?

From your TimeMachine backup, before the failure.
otherwise
command R for Recovery. Reinstall the entire OS.
