IMessage on Mac and iPhone ?

I have two questions:
1 - I left my mac at my home country and am in different country. I am currently using my iPhone with a new number and receiving imessages from my friends. Will these messages be automatically sync/pop up in my Mac. Does it mean anyone who have access to my mac can see the messages i am having in my iPhone ? Is there any option to delete the messages or stop it even though i don't have physical access to my macbook
2- Does regular text messages/SMS also get sync up between different devices or is it imessages only ?
iPhone - IOS 8
Mackbook Pro - Maverick

  • HT3529 Syncing iMessage on mac and iphone

    When I went to update my phone to IOS 8 an error occurred and I had to restore my phone. Luckily my mac still has all my messages on it. How can I sync my mac and iPhone so my message are all up to date?

    Hey jennnnay,
    Thanks for the question. Did you happen to backup your device before updating to iOS 8? If so, your messages should have been backed up and restoring from that backup should bring them back:

  • Imessage between mac and iPhone

    Hi I have read through several posts so far but am still having trouble with the whole start an imessage on my iphone and pick it up on my mac later.  I tried sending a message from my mac to a friend and that sent message appeared on my iPhone, however any messages I make on my iPhone do not appear on my mac. 
    On my mac I have my Apple ID as the active account (my email address)
    On my iPhone Settings>Messages>Receive at 2 addresses There is my phone number listed and my email address.  My Apple ID is the same as my macs and Caller ID I have ticked my email address not my phone number.
    I found somewhere it was suggested turning off the account on the mac repeating this on the iphone and performing a soft reset and then turning iMessage back on on both devices but this has not worked.
    I have not had any messages whatsoever appear on my mac since installing mountain lion.  Am i just missing something simple?

    Hi I have mountain lion installed.  I may have found where the problem lies but its a bit late to be texting other people to try it so i will have to wait until the morning, but in my mac contacts icloud was not activated so could it be that? 
    Also if a friend imessages me but they are using their phone number and not apple id (or they only have my phone number in their contacts and not my apple id) will i still just recieve that on my iphone or does imessage still send to all devices?

  • Should iMessages sync between Mac and iPhone

    I've looked online and can't find a definite answer to this.
    I use iMessage on the Mac and iPhone, and can send and receive from both, without a problem.  However, if I delete an iMessage from one device, it remains on the other. Is this correct, or should deleting it from one automatically delete it from the other, so both devices remain in sync with the same messages in place?
    Thanks

  • I have a Mac, an iPad and an iPhone.  When I contact someone using iMessage, for example using my iPad, the entire conversation also appears on my Mac and iPhone - How do I stop this duplication?

    Hello ctb4408,
    With iMessage, it is meant to show up on all your iOS devices and Mac. If you do not want them to go across all your devices, then you will need to turn off iMessage on your iPad and Mac Pro.

  • ICloud doesn't sync between mac and iPhone...

    Hello all. I have an iphone 4 and I macbook pro which I have just upgraded the OS to OSX Mountain lion.
    I have never really made use of icloud before, but intend to start using it as I intend to get an ipad soon.
    I have gone into icloud on both my mac and iphone and ticked on everything for icloud. However,nothing seems to really sync. My notes don't go between devices. As far as I can tell neither do my photos.
    The only large file on my icloud seems to be backups. However, the only thing in this folder seems to be the back up folder...which only seems to contain infinitiy blade data.
    Any help as to where I'm going wrong?
    regards,
    Matt

    I don't want to trust the iCloud, so I want to sync my PERSONAL Notes on my iPhone (4) just with my iMAC (via iTunes), and not saved in iCloud.
    Yes iCloud is great for syncing/saving common data, but I want to choose what I sync and if I choose not to save in icloud than I want to have the possibility to save it elsewhere.
    Now with Mountain Lion it is not possible anymore to sync between my iPhone and iMac
    More and more companies are going to say/dictate "This and this is good for you!"
    Please Apple, take your Customers serious and let themselve choose what good for them is!
    Thanks in advance!!
    P.S.,
    if there Apple-Customers who have a solution for syncing Notes between MountainLion and iOS please reply! (Thanks)

  • Cant update apps. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it. i can download apps,music with present mac note book but not apps. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it  . i can download apps and music.  how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • Looking for an app that works with Mac and iPhone that will set calendar reminders of birthdays in contacts.

    Looking for an app that works with Mac and iPhone that will set calendar reminders of birthdays in contacts.

    Hi ron1098,
    Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
    See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

  • After buying a new Macbook pro and opening an iTunes Match account most of my music is grayed out on my Mac and iPhone. I have not turned on iTunes match on my iPad and all my music is fine.  How do I get my music back????

    The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.

  • Why can't I get the App "Deskconnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad as well as Mac and Iphone?

    Why can't I get the App "DeskConnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad, Iphone and Mac.  I was able to download onto Mac and Iphone but it is not recognized for Ipad?

    I liked the idea of this app so I went looking for it and have now installed it on my Mac, iPhone and finally my iPad.
    This app, although it will run on the iPad is actually an iPhone/iPod app, as suggested above. So the only way to get it on my iPad was to search for it as an iPhone app in the App Store app on my iPad. Then it came up as an app that I could install on the iPad.

  • WPA Enterprise Problem Windows 7;  Macs and iPhones working good

    Dear Apple Discussions,
    I have a strange problem within my corpoarte network. I have successfully setup airport base stations with wpa/wpa2 enterprise authentication against an open directory master on apple snow leopard server. Macs and iPhones can connect through this very easily and without problems. Windows Machines seem to have some trouble with this. I have a self signed certificate and a trusted certificate for the server, both are resulting in the same issues. The Windows clients cannot connect. There is no error message on the windows boxes. Here is a snippet from the logfile on the OSX Server radius.log:
    Thu Aug 19 12:49:45 2010 : Error: TLS Alert read:fatal:unknown CA
    Thu Aug 19 12:49:45 2010 : Error: TLS_accept:failed in SSLv3 read client certificate A
    Thu Aug 19 12:49:45 2010 : Error: rlm_eap: SSL error error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3READBYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca
    Thu Aug 19 12:49:45 2010 : Error: SSL: SSL_read failed inside of TLS (-1), TLS session fails.
    This happens everytime and I did not find any possible solution within google search. Do you have any idea?
    Thank you for any help!!
    Nico

    Nico,
    I have run into this problem as well. One additional piece is that in addition to Macs and iPhones, we also have Android phones connecting with no problem.
    The only solution we came up with was to force the windows machine, in this case Vista, to use only our network and eliminate all others. Of course for our windows user that was a problem when he went home because he could not connect to his own home network any longer.
    Unfortunately, that resulted in giving up on the issue for us and forcing the windows guy to plug in via ethernet.

  • I want to create an eBook for iPad , Mac and "iPhone".

    While I was beginning with creating an eBook with iBookAuthor, I didn't know that the target group iPhone user is missed.
    I want to create and publish an eBook, which is intended for iPad, Mac and iPhone users.
    Does somebody know, which software would be the best?
