Text Messages/Phone Calls on Mac

I've really liked the feature in Yosemite where you can send and receive text messages and phone calls from the Mac (I like using the large keyboard). Recently I had to change my Apple ID password and when I did that function seemed to disappear and I can't get it back. I've tried to set it up again and I get a message that the person I'm texting isn't signed into iMessage -- this was never an issue before, and I'm sure the people I texted were not signed into any special apps. I've checked to make sure I'm signed into iCloud and everything. I don't know what happened ... help???

Messaging was still working from iPhone. I'd checked to make sure I was signed in with new password on iPhone, at least I thought I did. For whatever reason, it seems to have magically fixed itself, however. Thanks for your help.

  • IPhone 5: Can I view text messages/phone calls that I missed when service was off?

    Hello, again.
    Beause my service has been off, I've been unable to recieve text messages and phone calls, but I KNOW that people have been trying to get in contact with me. Is there any way to view the messages and missed phone calls that weren't able to come through when my service was off?

    At&t said something like 3-5 days if I'm not mistaken...
    Google Voice is more of an internet phone to put it simply. You get a free phone number that you can choose from any area code you want.
    You can text/call right from your browser. Calls/SMS are free within the USA and Canada.
    MMS is still in beta, and SMS to/from the UK is not officially supported yet, but it has been known to work.
    I recommend GV to anyone as a secondary number for in-case issues with phone loss/not working properly.

  • Delete text message history / call history

    Hey,
    I'm wondering if there is an option to delete the text message and call history inside my Skype online account?
    Thanks!

    Help has arrived! I understand the importance it is to make sure the text messages are deleted permanently once you delete them form your phone. What make/model phone do you have? What application are you using when you text? Have you ever backed up your phone with Verizon Cloud or set up to back up automatically?

  • Email, Text and Phone call alerts

    Hi. I just got my BB Tour and was wondering if there is a way to silence email alerts while keeping text and phone call ring tones active? I've tried adjusting the profile under Message Alerts section but it doesn't work. I've silenced everything but SMS text and Phone but I still get a ring tone whenever I get an email. It's annoying since emails come relatively often.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I was confused by this as well, but it eventually just sorted itself out.
    There was probably a reboot involved.
    I do remember selecting "None" for the email alerts, and still getting them.  Then, it was fixed.
    If you haven't already, try removing the battery and rebooting.  I know, it's the same lame suggestion for everything, but at least I offer hope that it's fixable.

    Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer? Whether it's free or cost money, can someone please give me a name of a program or software that allows me to do this? I can't seem to find anything like this for the iPhone.

    If you have cell service with a text plan, yes.

  • Is it possible to foward text messages like call fowarding?

    Is it possible to foward text messages like call fowarding?

    You mean automatically?  I'm not aware of any carrier that offers such a service. 
    You can manually forward a text message, however.
    If you use iMessage, then any iMessages will be delivered to all devices that use the same Apple ID for iMessaging.

  • Since I downloaded iOS6.1 I can not hear my messages/phone calls/emails or any sounds when the phone is lock. Any setting I can change?

    Since I downloaded iOS6.1 I can not hear my messages/phone calls/emails or any sounds when the phone is lock. It doesnt connect to bluetooth either. Any setting I have to change?
    My sounds settings are ON and my side mute button is NOT pushed down to orange.
    When the phone is unlock all the sounds are fine, but as soon as it locks it goes dead silent mode!

  • Phone unable to get text messages or call out?

    Today my phone stopped accepting or sending text messages and it stopped taking calls and sending calls. I've restarted it and rebooted and turned it off and on and have done everything in my power that I can think of. What's going on and what do I need to do? (I'm up to date on billing so it's not that) It also says that I have full signal and 3G.

        Hi Schaem94,
    Yikes! No service is no good! It's important to have a working phone at all times. Let's get this fixed. What happens when you attempt to place a call? Any error message? Any liquid or physical damage to the device? Try a soft reset to the device http://bit.ly/tXe7I4. The device sounds like the software is frozen, and a soft reset will reset refresh the system. Keep me posted.
    Thanks,

  • How do I sync both my iPhone together so they get text messages and calls? So if I have someone blocked on one phone my other will receive it

    I want to know how to sync my iPhone 4 and 4s together so I can share my messages and pictures. I want both phones to receive the same message calls and pictures. Is there a way and how?

    Sorry no way to receive calls and SMS text message on both phones, you would need to have the same number.
    You can have imessage go to both phones, by adding your apple id to imessage.
    You can use photo stream to share pictures between both devices.

  • Why do I receive some text messages ONLY on my mac and NOT on both my phone AND mac?

    I have my iPhone linked to my messages app on my macbook pro. Often times incoming messages are only sent to my mac and NOT my phone. When I turn on my mac I see that I have missed several text messages. This didn't happen before I upgraded to the latest software for my phone.

    Have you checked to see which accounts are active on your Mac?

  • IPhone 5 and Yosemite, can not send or receive phone calls on Mac

    I have latest software on iPhone 5 and Yosemite and an update on cloud, still no phone calls are displaying on my mac or txt msgs... am I missing a step? Can only users who also have iPhones with Facetime only contact me via my computer?

    Hi ravanarrowood,
    I had similar problems at the beginning. Bluetooth were switched on on both devices but the hands off was not working. Later I realized that iOS 8.1 was already released but my iPhone did not even notify me. Then I restored the iPhone connecting it to iTunes, installed iOS 8.1 and only after that bluetooth starting working properly and I could manage to pair both devices.
    For text messages, try going to Messages --> Preferences --> Accounts --> iCloud account
    You can be reached for messages at ... Add your cell phone number if it is not there already.
    I could manage to receive the messages from my Mac with these settings. But still the messages are not syncing across devices but I am just receiving them from both devices. I delete a message from my iPhone in the morning and in the afternoon I re-receive it from my Mac. Interesting..
