Why are some messages pushing to mac and not phone?

I am very frustrated, as, I have had occational times where a text bypasses my phone and goes to my macbook. My wife will use the laptop frequently and it happens sometimes when she is on the computer.   It will somtimes send a text the computer even if somone is not using it, though.  How do I get the system to send the message to both devices, or, to simply stop all texts from going to the computer?  thx

Log out of iMessage on your Mac, and the messages will be forced to only go to your phone.   If your phone has no signal at time the message was sent to you, that could explain why Mac is getting but not your phone.
I'd first try to logout of iMessage on both devices, then reactivate first on your phone, then your Mac.   See if problem fixes itself.

    Why are some of my songs ghosted and some are not?

    Hi smiilee,
    Have you tried resetting your phone (hold down the Home and Power buttons a the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears). Once the Home screen comes back up, see if your Music is OK.
    If it is not, then, have you sync'd your phone to an iTunes library on a computer? If so, then hook it up to the computer, uncheck the "Sync Music" option so that no music is sync'd and then sync the phone. This should delete everything on the phone. Then go back and re-check the "Sync Music" option, and select any other criteria you want on that screen, and then sync again. This should put back all of your music.
    Let me know if you have any questions,

  • Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
    In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection.  Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

  • Why are some messages marked as duplicates in Mail?

    I added my Yahoo! account to Mail but there is a problem with the Sent mailbox. Some messages (as many as 22 at a time) are being marked as duplicates of each other even though they have absolutely nothing in common (other than the sender). I've already tried rebuilding the mailbox; but it produces the exact same result. Any ideas?

    I was going through my iPod cover flow and noticed the same thing. THEN I saw that one album was listed as "Steers And Stripes", another was "Steers and Stripes" and yet another was "Steers & Stripes".
    So - check how they are labeled in the iPod. I went back to my iTunes library and there is only one version of that album in the computer. Haven't figured out how to bring it to ONE on the iPod, though.
    Work carefully through each of the sections of my article at http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp - the solution will be there.

  • Why are some "caf" files colored green and some blue. I need to change the blue (audio) file to a green one so that I can print the sheet music.

    I've been trying for days to convert blue audio files (caf in garageband) to green files, so that I can print out the sheet music for that file. I've converted the "caf" file to mp3, wav, aiff, even midi - but nothing will load in garageband as a green file. I get them to load as blue audio files but not as green files. I know the difference between the blue and green files, but why do they both have "caf" extensions? I am trying to conver "piano ballad.caf" to something that will show up as a green caf in garageband. I can't believe there isn't someone who has been successful at doing this sort of thing.

    Thank you, that was helpful, it has given me some avenues to explore. I have not used a command prompt for about a decade!
    The command chflags hidden /volumes/HomeShare does not seem to have worked.
    When I use it, there is no error message but I cannot see anything additional in the other computer.
    When I use chflags hidden /volumes/HomeShare/rubbish I see an error message about the folder not existing (which it does not!) so the path is correct.
    When I use chflags hidden /volumes/HomeShare/MBP naming a folder that does exist and was created by this computer/user, it seems to have no effect either.
    Looking at one source of OS X command line commands (http://ss64.com/osx/) I see that 'setfile' might do the trick (setfile v /volumes/Homeshare/MBP) but that command returns 'command not found'. It is apparently part of 'developer tools' ... which I do not have access to (AFAIK).
    In both cases, would the commands work on existing files only, or would new files be visible, or even files copied into this space? Presumably, each person saving to this area would need to then give access via terminal (or a script). Am I right in this thinking? If so, how would I modify the properties of the drive so that they are the same as, for example, a memory stick?

  • Why are some websites very slow loading and others not

    Some websites are very slow to load and others not. Doesn't seem to be any logic as to. The affected URL below is one that is very slow. I can understand if it is not an Aussie website. Having said that New York Stock Exchange website "http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/lcddata.html?ticker=DJI" loads quicker than the subject URL

  • Why are some PDF files created in Photoshop not placing in InDesign CS5?

    We are publishers and have used InDesign for over 9 years to create 36+ magazine issues per year.  We are currently using CS5 on 8 MAC stations using OS X Vers 10.8.5.  We are experiencing difficulty placing some supplied PDF files into InDesign documents lately.    We get the following error message when placing the offending PDF file:  "FAILED TO OPEN PDF FILE"
    This is a new error message that has cropped up the last two months or so.   In Acrobat, the file will pre-flight without errors.  The files giving us the errors can be converted to Photoshop PSD, EPS or TIFF files and will place just fine.  Photoshop PDF files, however, will result in the error.
    Can anyone give me an idea what might be causing this issue?  Thanks in advance!

    Most likely the crop options.

  • Why are my messages getting sent to two different phone numbers?

    My mom and I use the same Apple account for our iPhones and when we updated our phones for iOS 6, all of the text messages that I've been receiving have been sent to her iPhone as well.

    Tjmoo, did you find out the answer to your question?  If so, will you share?  I am having an issue where some of my messages to iPhone users go through as iMessages while others go through as text messages.  I am not sure why this is because the people I am sending them to have iPhones.
    Thanks!

  • Why are tunes I buy in M4P and not MP3?

    Music that I purchase is in M4P format and it cannot be converted to MP3 that I need for use in my FreestyleAudio MP3 player how can this be solved?

    All iTMS purchased songs are in M4P format with Apple's DRM protection.
    The only thing you can do to convert them to MP3 format is to burn them to an Audio CD, then re-import them (as any commercial CD) back into iTunes using the MP3 format.
    You will, however, lose some audio quality as you are transcoding one Lossy format into another Lossy format.

  • 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?

  • Why are some text messages blue and some green

    Why are some text messages blue and some green?

    Blue text messages are iMessages (with other iOS and Mac users with iMessage enabled).
    Green are regular SMS messages to non-iPhone users and iPhone users with iMessage not enabled.
