Messages syncing outgoing with iPhone but not incoming iMessages.

So I have both my mac and iPhone set up with identical settings (besides the phone also recieving at the phone number). Both are set to the same Caller ID.
When sending a message, either from my Mac or iPhone, the message is synced between both devices, however when an incoming message is sent to my email, it is ONLY sent to my Mac. The iphone chat-log is now filled with all of my outgoing iMessages and none of the incoming ones. Messages sent to the phone number on iMessage are sent to the phone and not the computer.
Any ideas on a fix?

Are the incoming messages being sent to an AppleID or a phone number? If to a phone number, are they coming from another Apple user using iMessage protocol, and have you listed the phone number under Messages > Accounts > [your-iCloud-account] > "You can be reached for messages at"?

Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

Apple wireless keyboard OK with iPhone, but not iPad2

My wireless keyboard types correct symbols on my iphone 5, but not on my iPad2. It does type the correct letters, but most of the symbols (both when in "lower case" and caps lock) are different from what's on the keyboard. How can I adjust my iPad2 so the keyboard types the correct symbols. Virtually all the **** numbers plus symbol keys type symbols different from what's on the keys, though most of the symbols are covered by some other keys. It's just not feasible to go searching by typing 10 or 20 keys to find one symbol, and then not to know whether to use the Shift, Ctrol, Option or Command or maybe even fn and then which key to guess will get the symbol I need.
Please advise.
Thanks,
dan

Thanks for replying, very kind. I'm unable to log into my account.. As a guest, I'm not able to get access to any of my system preferences.
I think my imac has accidentally paired with my new apple tv remote.. I bought apple tv yesterday, was very excited but now wish I hadn't connected it. I'm unable to work on my imac which is very problematic on a workday.
How can I unpair the apple tv remote from my imac if I cannot get access to my system preferences to unpair any devices?

Purchased music with iphone but not seeing on my macbook

I purchased a song from iTunes with my iPhone 4 ( Verizon - 4.2.8) but it is not showing up on my MacBookPro. Is it because the iCloud Beta is not active with the Verizon iPhone?!!

I have the same issue with a Verizon iPhone 4s. bought a song with it a couple of days ago. Still hasn't shown up on my Macbook Pro running Lion. Automatic downloads is turned on on both devices. I notice that in iTunes on the Mac, under "Stroe" on the left side, my iPad, my wife's iPad and my Apple TV are listed, but the iPhone is not.

Sync ATV with iTunes, but not transfer purchases?

Hi all,
I'm currently syncing my Apple TV with iTunes on my iMac but the purchases I make on the Apple TV are really eating into the memory of my computer. I would like to sync my iTunes library and photos with my Apple TV without transferring the purchases I make on my Apple TV to iTunes to try and save some space. Is this possible?
It seems that if I choose not to sync my Apple TV with iTunes the content that has already been synced will be removed. Is this the case?
Thanks for your help.

The 'reverse sync' is necessary because:
1 - There's no way to get purchases off AppleTV, say to transfer to another one or ipod etc, without it copying back to iTunes
2 - It allows you to make a backup copy on optical disc or external drive
3 - You need to back the stuff up as if AppleTV failed you'd lose the purchases which could be costly
4 - it's the way it's designed to work, AppleTV is designed to be 'synced' with iTunes media - we don't all agree with this but it's the way it is.
It seems that if I choose not to sync my Apple TV with iTunes the content that has already been synced will be removed. Is this the case?
Yes in essence. If you are configured to sync, you can choose not to have the item that synced back on AppleTV by deselecting it from any custom lists.
What you need to be wary of is deleting the stuff that reverse synced from iTunes - if you do it'll delete from AppleTV, poof, gone!
Thanks for your help.
The best option is to keep some of your stuff on an external drive - it doesn't need to be connected all the time.
Ensure you have backups of purchases.
That done, copy those titles into a folder (say 'AppleTV purchases' on an external drive. Change iTunes Preferences Advanced tab not to copy file to the library.
Next (be sure you've backed up!), delete the things in iTunes that are on your computer to free up internal drive space, then drag teh external drive folder containing copies of those items to iTunes - they may need to sync across to AppleTV again, but once there they'll stay even if the external drive is not connected provided you have not excluded them from syncing.
Bottom line, backup, backup, backup....

My home made videos sync to my iphone but not my ipad?

I have some GoPro videos I've editted and saved as 720P HD movies. I have them loaded in iTunes. I have synced them successuflly to my iphone, but they refuse to sync to my iPad2. I am using iOS 7.0.3 on both (updated iPad to 7.0.4 last night and still won't sync). I've tried a bunch of different things but nothing seems to be working. Same files sync to iphone 4S, but not iPad2.

Might, but also shouldn't since you're talking wifi not cellular.
Have you tried to power cycle your router? Unplug it, wait 10 seconds or so, then plug it back in.

Using mountain lion, why does it take so long for mail to show up? messages appear on my iphone but not on my iMac

Using mountain lion on iMac. Email appears on my iPhone but when I open mail on desktop the messages aren't there and take several minutes before they appear. Thoughts as to why this happens? Anyone else experiencing this too?

I can connect with iPhone but not pad for FaceTime

It's odd, my sister just bought an iPad and it will connect to my iPhone for FaceTime but not my iPad. Why is that?

One thing to note, she is not using a @me email address but rather her regular email address for her Apple I.D.

I want to send messages using my iPad Air but not as iMessages

I Don't want to use iMessages but do want to be able to send messages (they can stay green) because I sometimes want to do the message but not to another apple user. I am unable to send any messages using the text bubble icon, or receive them to look back at them, except on my phone. Do I need to sync those somehow or changes settings. I have disabled "iMessage" in my settings! I could do this for a while but have had several changes since then trying to get my iPad to be what I need it for.

Is anyone else having an issue with iPhone 4 not sending iMessages?

Our iPhone 4S will not send iMessages now, only text messages. It may have happened in the latest update.

No problems here.
Edit...
My IOS-7 is on an iPod Touch.

Exchange calendar syncs with iPhone, but not iCal

Hi all,
My new employer uses Outlook, and my iPhone is permitted to be setup with an account which will access email, contacts and calendars. My events from my Outlook calendar automatically appear in my iPhone calendar, but do not show up on my MBP in iCal.
Is there a way to sync my Exchange account calendar on my iPhone with the MobileMe cloud, and have that calendar then put on my MBP?
The employer does not yet allow us to have an exchange account on our Macs -- we have to use MS Outlook Web Access.
Thanks,
Boris

Dear Ckuan,
Thank you very much for this speedy response. I appreciate it.
I'm trying to avoid updating my Mac OS (I'm on 10.6.8, which doesn't support iCloud), because my MacBook is a little old.
If you, or anyone, can suggest a way of making the sync work via the cable connection, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks again,
Caroline
