IOS 8.2 no activation code for text message forwarding

Just upgraded to iOS 8.2 on iPhone 6 Plus and to Yosemite 10.10.2 today. I had text message forwarding working well previously but no more. When I tried to activate again on the phone Settings -> Messages -> Text Message Forwarding it showed my macbook Pro. I slid the bar to green and (usually) the little window asking for the activation code would pop up. But I'm not getting the activation code message on my macbook.
Both are signed into the same Apple ID.
Worked perfectly yesterday. Only things changed were upgrades.
Thanks in advance.

I went through several Apple communities and blog posts outside of Apple.   A combination of tips got mine to work.    Turn off the phone in Settings ->Phone, Turn on Airplane mode, Turn off Face Time and iMessage.  Then start turning them back on.  (Not device power, just in the settings).   Finally screens starting popping up on my iPad and iMac saying an iPhone was accessing iMessages.   It was liked they weren't all synced together.   Then once I got everything back ON..then tried to send the code again, I finally got the pop up.    It appears to just be a syncing problem, at least for me.  Triggering the on/off in all the settings is really what got everything hooked back together again.    Now it appears to be working.

  • IOS 8.1 Mesages/Text Message Forwarding - Duplicate Computer names

    I just upgraded to iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 6.  On my IPhone, when enabling Text Message Forwarding to my devices I noticed that my Mac's (15" MacBook Pro 5.1 Late 2008 with Yosemite) computer name appeared there twice. As expected, only one of the two duplicate computer names was successfully activated (switched to green) for text message forwarding,
    I had recently changed/edited the Computer Name of my Mac in System Preferences/Sharing panel.  The duplicate names that appear in Text Message Forwarding is the previous/old name and the existing name of my Mac described above.
    Is there a way to delete the old name from appearing in Text Message Forwarding by changing something on my Mac, such as editing or deleting a plist?
    Thanks in advance for any constructive assistance, comments or suggestions that can help me fix this.

    Problem solved! 
    I changed my iCloud password and the duplicate device names (ghost devices) disappeared from Settings/Messages/Text Message Forwarding on my iPhone.
    I hope this helps somebody with a similar issue.

  • Text Message Forwarding Not Displaying MacBook Pro

    I am having an issue in which one of my MacBook Pros no longer appears in the menu for "Text Message Forwarding" on my iPhone 6.
    I have two MacBook Pros (named MBP Old and MBP New), I only see MBP Old in the "Text Message Forwarding" menu.
    Yesterday, this was all working correctly, and MBP New was appearing and active in the "Text Message Forwarding" menu on my iPhone.
    Devices Used:
    Mid 2013 Retina MBP 15" on Yosemite 10.10.2
    iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1.3
    I have performed the following in different combinations/orders in my attempt to resolve the issue (with no fix so far):
    Logged out of iMessage/iCloud accounts on MBP
    Rebooted MBP
    Re-Enabled iMessage / iCloud accounts on MBP
    Disabled iMessage/FaceTime on my iPhone
    Rebooted iPhone 6
    Re-Enabled iMessage/FaceTime on my iPhone
    Reset network settings on my iPhone
    Rebooted iPhone 6
    Ensured all devices were on the same Wi-Fi network and connection was working
    This was all working last night and I made no changes this then, so I am quite confused.

    I'm having a similar issue as Yashar_S. I have an iPhone 5, a 3rd-gen iPad, a mid-2009 MacBook Pro, and an iMac 5K. All are running the latest os, as appropriate (iOS 8.2. OS 10.10.2). All are logged into the same Apple ID, have the same listing of phone number and email addresses for iMessage, etc. On my iPhone, under Text Message Forwarding, I see my iPad, but only *one* of my computers -- whichever one was the last that I logged out-then-back-in to iMessage.
    Before this latest Yosemite update, my iPhone would list two computers, but they would be duplicate listings, though only one of the listings would work. In order to have the iPhone recognize the new iMac, I had to put my MBP to sleep (or shutdown) -- it wasn't enough to log it out of iMessage.
    So I'm wondering if the "fix" to the duplicate listings issue was only a partial (i.e., cosmetic) fix and not the true, complete fix at all?
    Sigh!

  • I need activation code for my ipad

    PLeas i need activation code for my ipad becouse i cant open it ana i know the apple id and password

    Only the person who initiated the Activation Lock can remove it. if purchased used/2cd hand,
    contact the seller for assistance. This is what they need to do:
    Prepare your device to sell or give away
    If seller refuses or cannot be contacted, the iPad is useless. There is no workaround for
    Activation Lock.

  • Hi, I have an issue with not receiving activation code for applications like whatsapp, icici bank imobile on iphone.. need help!

    Hi, I use iphone 4 version 4.3.3 (8J2). I have downloaded my ICICI bank's application 'iphone imobile'. It asks for an activation code which it instructs to send a text message 'imobile iphone' to 5676766. I have done that umpteen times but problem is that i don't receive any reply. I have faced a similar problem while receiving activation code for another application 'Whatsapp', but fortunately Whatsapp gives an option of receiving activation code through alternate mode so i got the activation code through mail. Unfortunately ICICI Bank gives the activation code ONLY through a text message.
    In this case there seems to be a problem with iPhone receiving activation code. Can anyone help me out here?

    Hard drive died.  Cannot uninstall CS3 to remove copy registration. Need to reinstall on new laptop with windows 7 64 bit system,  Need to get activation code for CS3 Web Premium.

    Thank you Bob.
    Just to clarify - in terms of backing up one set of these, would that just be so I had it on disk and didn't need to re-download from Adobe if the installation got corrupted somehow?  Or do I need a backup for some other reason?
    Thanks

  • I am getting ready to wipe a PC clean but wanted to know how to get the activation code for the Version of Adobe reader that is currently installed on the PC?

    I do not have the activation code for this PC and need to know how to get the software loaded back on it after a clean install of the OS and other programs.

    If you use any additional subscription services to Adobe Reader, they are activated with your Adobe ID & password.

  • Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC,, Don't have older version serial numbers,  threw programs away,  only have Adobe Acrobat X Standard,  need a code to unlock program?

    Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC, Don't have older Version of Adobe Acrobat 9, 8 or 7. 

    You don't need to install the older version, you only need the serial number from your original purchase. If you don't have them to hand, did you register? If so, they should be in your Adobe account. If not you really need to contact Adobe, though it isn't clear they will be able to do anything without some proof of purchase etc.

    Software activation codes are provided by the software producers, so you need to check with the site you downloaded the app from.

    Ok, this is a mac question: With the order changed so that the ethernet comes first, why is it still showing my connection to the neighbor's wireless? Am I reading that wrong? OR am I connected to both at the same time? If so, why would it connect twice to the internet?
    Probably because you neighbor has no security on his network. Does his network show a lock like
    If it does he's got security turned on, if there is no lock showing he hasn't turned it on.
