    Messages in MacOS High Sierra Not Getting Regular Texts

    Did Apple take out the ability for regular text messages to be pushed to the Mac as well? I know we don't have iCloud Message Sync yet in this version of iOS 11 but I've always been able to receive regular text messages on my Mac as well as my phone but now it seems in MacOS HS that I can only...

    Messages Not Staying Sync'd

    Seems Messages on my Mac aren't staying sync'd with my iPhone. I've tried turning text forwarding off and on again on the phone and it resolves it for a bit but then a couple days later it's back to not keeping in sync. Anyone else experiencing this issue or have a solution?

    No iMessage notifications when Mac is on

    hi everyone, I recently updated my Mac to Sierra. Since this update, I've noticed that I'm not getting push notifications to my iPhone or Apple Watch when my Mac is on. It's as if the Mac gets the notifcation and silences it on all my other devices. I don't notice messages come in until I...
