IPhone 6, Continuity, and Message Forwarding

I am trying to set up message forwarding from my iPhone 6 Plus ( OS 8.1 ) to my 2012 15" Macbook ( OS X 10.10 ). When I enter Settings>Messages>Text Message Forwarding, I only see my Mac Mini, despite my Macbook being logged into the same iCloud account and WiFi network as my iPhone.
Anyone able to help me out here ?
Thanks!

Thanks. Unfortunately that did not work, but now I notice that when trying to Bluetooth pair my iPhone to my macbook that it only connects for a few seconds and then reverts to "not connected". I assume this might be relevant to my issue... .

  • Following the most recent IOS IPhone update our Iphone calendars, contacts and messages have all merged. This problem has never happened before. We all use the same Itunes account as a family and one AppleID. Does anyone know the cause of this problem?

    We have 4 Iphones. As a family we have happily shared the same ITunes account and one AppleID. After the most recent iPhone IOS update all our contacts and calendars have merged and we randomly receive some messages that one of us has sent to another contact.
    This is causing chaos.
    Can anyone help me with:
    1. Has anyone experienced a similar problem recently?
    2. The records to the individual phones have not been saved been saved separately. After this merging of all the data into one composite record, is there anyway to reverse the change and restore the phones to just their individual records?
    3. I guess that the cause may be the common AppleID. I have tried to create my own AppleID but my personal email address is already linked to the existing AppleID so I am blocked from setting up a separate AppleID in my own name. Does anyone know how I can get around this block?
    4. Would it be better to create a separate Apple ICloud address for each of us as well? How do I do this?
    Many thanks in anticipation,
    Peter

    This is exactly what happens when sharing a single Apple ID for iCloud and iMessage.  Why would you expect any different?

  • Spell check replies and message forwards

    Hi,
    Spell check checks OK, either as I type or the whole message before sending. Unfortunately, it also checks the ORIGINAL message(s) in those instances where I am replying to someone else's message, or forwarding an original message to a third party.
    I know that in MS Outlook it is a simple selection to check ONLY the message that one is composing and ignore the preceeding message(s).
    Is there some way that I can achieve this in Mail?
    Thanks for your attention in this matter.
    Bill

    Dude,
    I'm informed that's just how it is, although a way for the spell-check software to discriminate between original content and prior or forwarded messages is on the list for development.
    Doesn't seems as though it would be mysterious, dunno.

  • IPhone 4 calls and messages doesn't work

    Hi,
    I bought  an IPhone 4 to months ago and it has been working fine untill three days ago. Now I can't make a call from it, when I try, it doesn't ring in the other end and I can't finish the call again. Wien somebody calls me, it doesn't ring.
    Texting is not possible to other IPhones BUT I Can text to other cellphones like Sony Ericsson.
    I have restarted (Worked for a day, now it's off again) several times.
    I have had another SIM card, no help.
    Turned on and off several things like cellular data, 3G, roaming...
    Resetting here, there abd everywhere....
    Does any of you know a way to Solveig this???

    I finally did the 'reset' which seems to solve the problem. My phone has been working for a couple of hours by now.
    Settings>general>reset> reset all settings ( the top button on my phone, its in Danish)
    I had to redo a few things, but all aps, contacts etc. are still here.
    I hope it will keep on running from now on!!!

  • 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.

  • How do I DISABLE text message forwarding between my iPad and iPhone?

    I want to DISABLE text forwarding from my iPhone 5 (IOS 8.1.1) to my IPad 4 (IOS 8.1.1) but....I have already tried the following (so PLEASE do not make these suggestions):
    I want to be able to text from my iPhone and those text messages (either SMS or iMessage) NOT go to my iPad.  BUT, I want to also text from my iPad and those messages NOT go to my iPhone.  I want the text messages to stay on each device independently. 
    Since I still want to be able to text from my iPad, I do NOT want to turn off iMessage.  If I turn off iMessage, I cannot text from my iPad.
    I disabled HANDOFF
    I disabled TEXT MESSAGE FORWARDING (from my iPhone)
    Creating a new Apple ID is not an option since there is other data that I need between devices.
    Having followed these steps, I still cannot stop the texts from forwarding between devices.  Any ideas?

    On your iPad, can you deselect your phone number as an option in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at and then add an email address at which you can be reached? My iPod Touch is set up to use an email address (I have 6 email accounts) and the messages on my iPod do not sync with my other devices.
    I Do have to say that it has been ages since I set up the Touch for Messages, but I am running iOS 8 on it. I can't remember if I had to sign out of messages and start all over again on the touch in order to deselect the iPhone number.

    I found the solution in another post.  By deleting all my apps, I was able to sync the phone.  I hope I don't have to delete all my apps every time I want to sync my phone, but at least now I am able to sync my phone.

  • TS3198 After doing the backup and restore how do you know if the phone is unlocked if you do not get the message: "Unlock Complete. Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked. To set up and sync this iPhone, click Continue."

    If you don't get the message, your phone is NOT unlocked.

  • Setting up Text Message Forwarding but not getting the code. Both iPhone 5 and MacBook Air are up to date with software upgrades. I need some help!!!

    I am trying to update my phone/mac to get the new features but I keep trying to enable Text Message Forwarding but there is no code that pops up on my Mac like the phone says it should. What do I do? Also, my settings icon on my phone keeps showing a little red "1" but the software is up to date. I need some guidance and directi

    Try turning it on from iMessage on your Mac and see if the code entry window pops up on your phone.
    All I had to do was start Messages on my Mac and it told me SMS forwarding was available and gave me the code to enter on my iPhone.
    Also, Apple requires that iMessage/Messages (for SMS forwarding) and FaceTime (for voice call relays) have both your phone number and email available as contacts, so make sure both are selected on both your iPhone and Mac.
    As far as the Settings badge, some people have reported that issue but there's no general case fix as of yet:

    I constantly get same message.  When I open up my windows laptop all works fine so I guess it's a bug that apple refuse to admit to.

    Hi there omengomeng,
    You may want to make all of the settings are configured properly on your devices. Take a look at the article below for more information. 
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS on your iPad, iPod touch, and Mac: 
    Update your iPhone to iOS 8.1 (when available).
    Enable iMessage on your Mac and iOS devices.
    On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages and turn on Text Message Forwarding.
    Your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac will display a code you can enter on your iPhone to verify the SMS and MMS feature.
