Hi, If things are set up accordingly, all messages should come to all devices. That is, even if you receive the message on your iPhone first, you should still be able to access the same message on your Mac. This is also true the other direction. Make sure of the following:
On your Mac: 1. Open Messages. 2. Press cmd-comma to bring up its Preferences. 3. Make sure you're have the Accounts pane selected. 4. Select your iCloud account. 5. In the Table for "You can be reached at", make sure both your iPhone number and iCloud eMail are checked. On your iPhone: 1. Go into Settings. 2. Open the Messages setting pane. 3. Make sure the same two items are selected, iCloud email address and iPhone number. 3. Deselect any others. If you did the same on an iPad or even another Mac that you own, messages would sync with all the devices that you've set up this way I have noticed sometimes, though, that you need to Quit then re-open the Messages app on my Mac as it does not always sync right away. HTH. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On 2012-12-06, at 12:46 PM, Maurice Mines <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a question, about the messages application?
