SMS messages not syncing in iOS 8 and Yosemite

I'm using iOS 8 and Yosemite.  I was able to receive calls and sms messages from my phone on my computer.  That has all of a sudden stopped.  SMS contacts are now listed in red in Messages and are not delivered.  iCloud accounts are the same on both devices.  Any ideas?

Hey srobs,
Thanks for the question, I can definitely understand how frustrating it may be when messaging does not work on your iPhone. The following resource provides some great troubleshooting steps that you can attempt:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
1. Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
2. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
3. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
4. iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
5. Restart your device.
6. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
3. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
4. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
5. Back up and restore your device as new.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • SMS messages not restored after iOS 7 update

    Both my iPhone and iPad are displaying very small numbers of SMS messages following the iOS 7 update. There are more on the iPad but very few on the iPhone. Both were backed up via iTunes before the update. The update and backup were applied in Winodws 8 in case this is significant. I wondered if there might be an issue related to messages which don't relate to a listed contact as the ones I was particularly trying to find were connected to an unsaved contact. Any help or

    Well it seems I can answer my own question. Messages was populated by my old messages once i started to use it. Strange as I wasn't aware of having backed up to iCloud, only iTunes. Anyway, all is fine now.

  • Messages not syncing between Yosemite and iPad

    I've noticed that messages I send on my iPad seldom appear within messages on my Mac (Yosemite).    Or else they show up like a day or two later but it's not consistent.   Does anybody know how to get them to sync?
    Also, I forgot to mention that the reverse is true, too, but less so.  Very inconsistent syncing.

  • ITunes 11.1.1 will not sync with ios 7.02 - "waiting for changes to applied"

    iTunes 11.1.1 running on MacBook Air will not sync with ios 7.02 - "waiting for changes to be applied". I have been having this issue since upgrading to 11.1. I thought the upgrade to 11.1.1 will take care of it

    Yes, my iPhone 5 running ios 7 will not sync in *any* way with itunes now.  I can neither add nor remove content via itunes.  I just tried to delete 100% of my music from my iphone, it hung forever on "Waiting for changes to be applied" and then when it was finally done... no changes had been applied.
    I can't add, remove, change, delete or in any way of any kind sync my iphone with itunes any longer.
    I'm becoming the person who refuses to update to the new Apple OS.  I used to get very excited about new OS updates.  That all ended around Mountain Lion.  Yesterday when I saw that Mavericks was out I wasn't excited.  Instead I felt a sense of dread, and for good reason.  Every time they release an OS in the last few years it's just a cluster-F.

  • My iPhone 4s is not syncing the contacts and calendar to iCloud.

    My iPhone is not syncing its contacts and calander to iCloud once its entered on the iPhone itself.  It has no problem syncing information entered through iCloud though.  Am I doing something wrong?

    On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch off both Contacts and Calendars then switch back on then reset the device.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Photos not syncing between Mac and iPhone since update to Photos on Mac.

    Ever since I updated to Photos on my Late 2013 macbook pro retina, photos are not syncing between it and my iPhone 6. Both are updated to the most recent software update. Photo stream is on. Does anyone have this problem or know a solution?

    You will have to go the the Photos tab in iTunes when you connect the iPhone.  Then reset the photo sync options.  They were reset with the upgrade to use iCloud by default, but you can change the settings back to sync folders, just like before.

  • Bought alot of games via iphone, not synced to itunes and mobile crashes*

    Hi!
    i Bought alot of games via iphone, wich i have not synced to itunes and my phone crasched! I restored it but now i dont have any apps/games. What do i do? Doesnt itunes save a list of apps that i have bought?

    Your list of purchases is available if you log into your account in iTunes on your computer. You can also re-download apps for free (though you will have to find them yourself in the app store, iTunes won't find them for you) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • Imported video not responding in IOS and mobile devices

    Hi there
    I have done this interactive graphic:
    http://ing.dk/infografik/grafik-se-de-graverende-fejl-paa-kampflyet-joint-strike-fighter-1 74989
    But the video does not respond in IOS and is very slow on iPad.
    What could be wrong? The video is a MP4. Should it be set to preload?
    Hope for your answer/advice.
    Martin

    That is the problem of html5 video in mobile.
    It does not preload and does not autoplay.
    It can only be played by a direct user event action ( like click )
    There are no work arounds for this, and its made so people on mobile, do not waste there mobile internet on videos.

  • IBooks not syncing between iOS7 and Maverick

    iBooks not syncing between iOS7 and Maverick
    Just updated my MBP to Mavericks and only a few items have synced from my phone to the mac in iBooks.  The phone was also updated to iOS7.0.3 (the latest) today too before the Mavericks update.
    Does anyone else have this problem?  Is this a bug which will hopefully be fixed shortly? Or is there something I can do to resolve this?
    I have a number of .pdf´s in iBooks (.pdf books) on the phone and would obviously want everything on the phone accessible on the computer, as is the idea.
    Many thanks for your help/advice.
    Susan :S

    This has been my headache since day one and a complete swing and a miss by Apple.  I haven't been able to get ANYTHING I have not explicitely purchased from iTunes to sync in iBooks across device.
    For example:  If I load an ePub or PDF into iTunes and "manually" add to a device, this works just fine.
    However, if I open a PDF file on my iPhone into iBooks, it doesn't show up in any of my other devices, including the new iBooks on my iMac with Maverick.  it doesn't matter which device it's added, nothing syncs if it's not purchased from iTunes.
    Please, someone make me a liar and tell me I've completely missed something.
    Apple:  Why or why can't I add PDF files to iBooks on my iMac and have them automagically show up in the collection I created on all my devices?  Because I didn't purchase them from you, you say?  Stupid, stupid, stupid.
    Then don't let me add it in the first place and stop advertising "my content anywhere on any device" because this has been broken from day one.

  • Messages Not Syncing across devices with iOS 8

    Hi all,
    Since December 2014 and an update at that time my iMessages stopped syncing correctly.
    Some messages sync some don't.
    I send from my iPhone5c and it doesn't show up on my iPadAir.
    Reply will go to my iPadAir  and not to my iPhone5c
    If one of my devices is off then no messages will go to it and it won't sync once turned back on.
    I have done the: turn off iMessages, quit program, turn off devices. Restart and turn on iMessages again on devices. This hasn't fixed the issue.
    My number and emails are all correct on devices. I am logged in on devices. They just adhocly sync.
    Any other ideas?

    They are received normally for me and everyone I know using 8.3.  Are you using WiFi or cellular data? Has these devices ever been hacked/jailbroken, at any time?
    If not, try these steps as needed:
    Reset: press both home and lock buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Restore to factory settings using iTunes, also restoring a backup
    Restore to factory settings as new, without using a backup
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
