Sms forwarding to mac

I tried to set up SMS messages on my mac, when i went to go turn the option on on my iPhone i says that i need to enter a code that appears on my mac, but no code appears.

There's also this from Apple that outlines the requirements:
Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite
Here it indicates that SMS forwarding is supported by any iPhone that can run 8.1 with any Mac that can run Yosemite. Only Instant Hotspot and Handoff seem to have hardware limitations, and SMS is not touted as being part of "Continuity".
I suspect the SMS problem is a setup problem, or maybe a quirk in installation.

IPhone won't pair to Mac for SMS forwarding (Yosemite)

My iPhone (iOS 8.1) shows two devices named like my MacBookPro in the Messages settings. When trying to activate one of them in order to pair with the MBP, nothing happens on my MBP (Yosemite) in the Messages app where it should show a code. So I think those two devices are ghost entries or otherwise corrupted and that my iPhone is not "seeing" my MBP. Is there a way to delete them or to reset the SMS forwarding service?

How to get SMS forwarding on two macs

I have two macs and want SMS forwarding on both of them. But it looks like you can only have it on one at a time. They always switch names and sometimes both don't work when I am trying to hook them up. How do I get them both to send and receive SMS?

Thank you both, I've found some third party sharing software for example SugarSync - But might just go with local network - home folder.
While on the subject of sharing on Macs, do you know about printing from a iPhone/iPad through a Canon printer plugged in to (my) MacBook Pro: http://discussions.apple.com/message/20580877#20580877

Does SMS forwarding work with iPhone 4s?

I still have iOS 7 on my iPhone 4s, and I will only upgrade to iOS 8.1 if there is a good reason (as best features of 8.1 such as Airdrop to Mac are not supported by 4s hardware). SMS forwarding should not have hardware restrictions, but you never know.
So can anyone please confirm that SMS forwarding works from MBP Yosemite to iPhone 4s iOS 8.1? (I tested it and works fine from MBP to iPhone 5s / iOS 8.1).
Thanks in advance.

According to the quote below from Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support it works with any iOS device with iOS 8.1
SMS requires an iPhone with iOS 8.1 and an activated carrier plan.
SMS works with any iOS device with iOS 8.1, and any Mac that supports Yosemite.

Forwarding to .mac

I have email addresses at a company called Fusemail.com and forward those emails to my mac account. However, as of a few days ago, those forwarded emails have stopped coming. I checked with Fusemail and they're service is working fine. I then tried forwarding to a Gmail account and the emails came through immediately. I can only conclude that the problem lies within the mac account and that, for some reason, they have stopped accepting those forwarded emails. Can anyone please shed some light on this? Thanks.

Sounds like they might be in your spam filter?
Incidentally, Fusemail is great, I'd forward your .mac to them instead of the other way around. It can do a LOT more.

Forwarding from Mac mail to iPhone images not displaying

When Forwarding from my iMac mail to my iPhone, the images are not displaying on the iPhone.
If I save the image from the email I wish to forward, in mac mail, then attach it to a new email and send it to the iPhone it displays perfectly!
Any ideas as to why? Maybe another bug?

I tried that. It does not work for me. I get a few books to appear from iTunes into iBooks. Getting them into iBooks on the Mac has never been the problem There are lots of way to do that. The problem is, they STILL not not sync with my iPad. And now they are gone from iTunes so i am not sure what is going to happen the next time I try to sync the iPad with iTunes. Luckily I have a Time Capsule backup so I can restore if I have to.
I guess the bottom line, based on several other threads, is the only solution is to kill iBooks, move it to an obscure corner of your Launch Pad (since you can't totally delete it) and go buy an third party app that will work. Apple has release several updates to Mavericks, and so far there is nothing on the horizon about restoring any of the sync ability that Mavericks took away - iTunes sync wirelessly with the iPad and iPhone, or, like here, iBooks syncing across Apple platforms.

I cannot send and receive green sms on my mac yosimite

I cannot send and receive green sms on my mac yosimite so fa every thing is well. Please help me to configure

that depends on the hardware in your MacBook Pro. Go to the Apple Menu in Yosemite, select "About This Mac".
Once there, click the "System Report..." button.
On the next window that opens, in the left sidebar under Hardware, select Bluetooth.
On the right panel, near the top should be the following...
Bluetooth Low Energy Supported: yes/no
Handoff Supported: yes/no
Instant Hotspot Supported: yes/no
If any of those are no, they you will not have access to the majority of Handoff.
NOTE: SMS functions (enabled after iOS 8.1 install), and iPhone to Mac calling features are WiFi only, and do not require the specific Bluetooth/Wifi hardware to function (I have a 2007 iMac and am able to send and receive calls from my iPhone on it, but I do not have, for example, Email/Keynote/Pages Handoff features between the two)

Sending SMS from my Mac, registrered on my Iphone

I am a freshman regarding the use of Mac and IPhone. I am searching for an app which give me the possibility of writing sms on my Mac and sending it through my IPhone. Can anyone help ?

It's because of an Apple imposed limitation of the iPhone's rather basic Bluetooth implementation.
Technically, Apple could provide the iPhone with much more Bluetooth functionality (file transfer, printing, vCard transfer, SMS sending, remote control, contact & calendar syncing etc.) through iPhone OS updates.

Automatic sms forwarding from N95 8gb

Hi, i have a Nokia N95 8GB on the Vodafone network, however the screen has died and i cannot see anything on it. The rest of the phone still works as normal as i can connect it via the T.V out cable and see whats going on that way, however this is not possible to do when i am out and about. I have another mobile to use in the iterm, until my 5800 finally arrives or they get it in stock, and i have set all calls to divert to the other handset. I need to know if you can adjust any settings via the phone to set up sms forwarding or if it is possible via messgae centre number adjustments via the network provider.
I hope someone out there has maybe managed this, or knows of a way to do it, im not that much of a phone buff.
Thanks,

Yes, but you need to use an additional piece of software.
These apps will do it but they all need to be signed.

SMS Forwarding?

Is there going to be SMS forwarding or to cancel a SMS in the middle of sending? I have sent too many SMS's to the wrong people. LOL. Not good. Also I would love to just forward SMS's to people instead of re-typing it all over again.

Everyone who wants extra SMS/MMS features should send there requests to apple @ http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html - if they get enough requests they might stop being arseholes and listen

New iPad Air 2 not avail as SMS forward option on 6Plus

Hi!
I'm sure I just don't have some random setting correctly, but can't figure out which one it is!
I purchased a new iPad Air 2 the other day and went through the activation/backup restoration process with no issues. HOwever, as I was sitting here playing with it, I realized I was not getting SMS texts from my mom. So, I went about trying to get it all set up. I have 2 options on my iPhone 6plus for SMS text forwarding, my desktop Mac and my old iPad. The new one does not show up in the list.
What do I need to do to get the iPad Air 2 to show up so I can get the activiation code and start sending/recieving SMS messages on the iPad again???
Thanks!
Lora

Ok....completely ignore! I figured it out!
Just in case someone else has this same problem: I simpley turned iMessage off on both devices and then powered them both down. Brought them both up individually and turned iMessage back on, iPhone first iPad second. Once they both requested me to sign back in, turned on forwarding and the activation code showed up immediately.
SMS messages now work on iPad and all is right in my world.....at least where these 2 electronics are concerned for now

Hi,
Sending SMS from my iMac is something I have yet to test.
Nothing has been added to the menus to suggest starting an SMS messages as opposed to an iMessage.
There again the menu items that used to be a Drop down as part of "New Message" is also lacking on directing it to the iMessages account or any other account you might have.

How to disable text message forwarding on Mac?

I never allowed text message forwarding on my iPhone, yet my mac and iPad still receives messages. How do I fix this problem if I do not want this feature on my mac and iPad?

Hello Jivaraval,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with SMS relay:
SMS
With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
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.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
BobbyD

Changed AppleID password, now can't get SMS messages on Mac

I changed my Apple ID password (which is also my iCloud and Messages password).
Now I lost the ability to send or receive SMS messages on my Macs. Specifically the messages that show up as green in Messages.
This was working fine on both my Macs (desktop and MacBook Air) before i changed the password.
My iPhone phone number is listed on the Accounts page on Messages preferences on the Macs.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Figured it out.
It is called Text Message Forwarding" and there is a option for it in the iPhone Messages preferences.
