SMS sending on mac Messages

I have 8.1 on my phone and yosemite on my computer, and i can receive sms messages on my mac but can't send them. I've done the whole "text message forewarding" etc but the sending bar for sms stops just short of "sent" and fails every time. how do i fix that?

Hi,
This may seem pedantic but can you described the "resetting" you are doing on the iPhone ?
I "lost" the iPhone Number on my Mac version at one stage and on checking the iPhone I found the number was not ticked in the Send and Receive option although it is greyed out and "Unalterable".
I removed the Apple ID and waited but the number did not show up as ticked.
I then put it in Airplane mode (Make a break with the iMessages server)
Afterwards it had the iPhone Number ticked.
I re-added the Apple ID
I then restarted the Mac Messages app. (breaks with server as well)
It then showed the pop up message that the iPhone was using the Apple ID and the iPhone Number.

How to send a text message instead of imessage on Mac and Ipad iOs 8.1?

My iphone 6 Plus, ipad mini 2 and MBA on OSX Yosemite are all linked together under the same wireless network. However when i send a message on my Mac to my friend who is using an iphone, default sending is via imessage. How can i choose to send a text message instead of imessage? WHy? because sometimes my friend is not online. So i need to send a text message that my messages are received real time.

Hey there ipremacha,
It sounds like you need to enable Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone for your iPad to send MMS/SMS messages through your phone.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Can no longer send or receive messages on Mac from non-Apple product users

After installing Yosemite, I was able to send and receive messages to contacts who use Android devices, but that stopped a week ago. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi,
It should appear on the Mac.
If the Messages app is not open it should in fact launch it.
I had this issue once and had to reset the Text Forwarding thing twice before I got the Pop with the Code on the Mac.
Don't dismiss what is on the iPhone until you either have the Code or it is obvious that it is not going to appear. (you need to enter the code number back on the iPhone).

Sending SMS to server - Wireless Messaging API (WMA)

Hello :-)!
In general I want to create application for CLDC (with the use of MIDlet). (And maybe later to try the same with CDC). I want my application to create some data based on communication with the user of mobile phone and then to send little text file to the application on server computer.
I found that there exists such a thing as WMA - Wireless Messaging API. I downloaded examplary .jar & .jad files (with sources and documentation):
[http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/9edb3299-e0f4-449d-a2fd-fa15ddbeed8b/MIDP_2_0_Wireless_Messaging_API_Example_v1_0.zip.html|http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/9edb3299-e0f4-449d-a2fd-fa15ddbeed8b/MIDP_2_0_Wireless_Messaging_API_Example_v1_0.zip.html]
and copied those files to Sony Ericsson K750i. I installed the application, run it, it asked me whether I want to allow this application to receive SMS, I answered yes and... nothing else happened and the application exited. I run this application once more, it doesn't do anything at all and exits.
I tried to analyse the code but it didn't help me to notice what is wrong with the program.
In init() there is initialization of what and where will be sent (port number and message). (Function init is called in startApp so in my application I will need to call it in the other place in the code and I will take the content of the message from the other place that jar or jad files, as in this examplary application).StartApp() calls init(), it listens to incoming messages, creates commend, label etc. (Probably I need to erase from this example code responsible for listening to incoming messages so that this examplary application will work on my Sony Ericsson?).
CommandAction(c,d) sends text or binary message (depending on choice in the field cg.setSelectedIndex) or exits the application for "exit".
ItemStateChanged() changes from binary to text mode and vice versa.
SendBinaryMessage(connection,destAddress,Body) and sendTextMessage(...) send the message.
I don't know what are those "private static final String".>
Greetings:)!

Messages: Broken links when sending from Mac to iOS

If I copy a link from Safari (right-click > Copy link) and send it with Messages on Mac it remains a clickable link with a link text (in the chat window).
The problem is if the recipient uses Messages on iOS he will only see the link text and cannot click on the link.
Is there a solution to this annoying bug?
The workaround I use is:
Copy the link from the clipboard into the chat input box. BEFORE sending rightclick on the link > "Copy link" and then insert from the clipboard again. This way you get the URL of the link which is always clickable (on Mac AND iOS).

Hi,
Over the years the various messaging services that there are have all done things related to sending Links with words as Hyperlinks.
The AIM service in particular had a very bad time with people putting malicious code in the link instead of just the URL.
The matter can be confused when some URLs are very long such as News websites and the like.
I use the same workaround as you (Send plain text URLs)

Follow these steps to set up text message forwarding on your iPhone:
Click on the Messages app in your Mac to open it.
Move to the iPhone. Tap Settings > Messages.
Tap Text Message Forwarding.
You should see a list of all your devices linked to the Apple ID. Tap the one you want to send and receive messages to On.
You should see a six-digit code appear on in Messages on the Mac. And on the iPhone an alert window will appear marked Text Message Forwarding.
Enter the six digit code displayed in Messages on the Mac into the alert window on the iPhone and tap Allow.

Sms send message VI Dialog box

Whenever I get an error using the SMS Send Message.vi I get a dialog box that disables my program unless I manually answer the prompt. Can NI (or anybody else) please
1. Have an option to disable the dialog box
2. Unpassword protect the VI so I can do it myself
3. Give me some other option I missing.
Thank you
Robert

Hi Robert,
Since the Clear Errors VI is not available with a PDA application, you can use a case structure to clear errors instead. Wire the error out of SMS Send Message to the case selector. In the Error case place an error cluster constant (right click on error out and Create >> Constant) to pass through the remainder of your program. For the No Error case, pass the error wire straight through.

HT201398 FaceTime & Messages now won't open on my iPad. Now no toggle switch in settings. Log in with my Apple ID sends activation error message 'try again'. Both Apps work on my iPhone & Mac.Any help?

Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved

My mac mail on just keeps sending the same messages even after deleted and shows thousands of emails supposed to be coming in

If you have a backup, you can restore the e-mails. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Library/Mail/V2.

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.

Is it possible to send sms to groups from Messages in the new iOS8?

Of course. This feature has been part of iOS for a while now.

HI,
In iChat 6 before you upgraded to Messages Beta were you able to Send Files ?
There are also various ways to start this
Try:-
Dropping a file on a Buddy's name in the Buddy List
Dragging a File to the text entry field in a chat.
In a Video Chat drag a file over the Chat window and chose the half that says Send File.
As it is Google are you Buddies logged in via the Web Browser or a Jabber App or iChat on a Mac ?

Why can't I send Photos using Message on my Mac w Yosemite

I have just tried to send a photo, taken w my iPhone 6 and properly shared automatically to my MBP w/Yosemite.
I cannot send it via email; I cannot send it via Messages.
I checked for solutions re email; I use Postbox as my email client which may be the problem, though not sure how to fix.
Right now I want to know why I can't use Messages either! It had been working OK till now for text msgs.
Ideas/solutions would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance

thanks for replying; yes I did use that. Sorry I didn't mention.
The email option is grayed out when I tried to use it.
Oddly, I found a work around, which was to send the pics from my iPhone, which I guess uses the iOS version of Mail.
thanks
