#Imessage on macbook not working with sms code#
And because everything is set up properly now, when you select the device to which you want the messages to forward, you should now get the code on your Macbook or iPad. Once all of this is done, then – and only then – go to your iPhone’s Text Message Forwarding settings, where you should see the device you want to have your iPhone forward messages to. If you ever see a yellow or red dot next to iMessage, you know. Apple provides customers with a convenient status page, which displays the current availability of various services. This is because this is how Apple is getting non-iPhone non-iMessage messages to your computer or iPad – via their servers and your Apple account. If your messages are not synchronizing as they should, it’s possible that the iMessage server is down. (And you must have ‘Enable this account’ checked next to your Apple ID in the Messages app settings on your Mac or iPad.) This next point is critical: For your iPhone to forward text messages to your other Apple device (Macbook or iPad) the Messages app on that device must be signed in with your Apple ID, and it must be the same Apple ID that your iPhone is signed in under. Now, if your problem is that text message forwarding isn’t working (and it won’t be, if your iMessage setting was set to off, because that removes text message forwarding), you’ll need to go into the Text Message Forwarding section, and re-enable your Macbook or iPad (or both). This can happen, it seems, when, for example, the Apple iMessage servers experience problems, as happened last week.Īgain, you want to see iMessage set to on, and, if your problem is that SMS messages aren’t being forwarded to your iPad or Mac, at least one entry under “Text Message Forwarding”:
Now, once you are sure that you are signed into your Apple ID, and you have added at least one email address to the Send & Receive section, scroll back up the Messages setting screen and be sure that you have iMessage set to ‘on’ on your iPhone – because, yes, sometimes it magically gets turned off. If you are not signed in with your Apple ID, it will look like this:
