While trying to setup Text Message Forwarding
between iPhone and MBP. Both Mac and
iPhone are running in the same network with same iCloud account, but when try
to enable it on the iPhone it asks me to enter a code that's shown on the Mac,
but nothing shown there says “No Activation Code on Mac”
The problem you would faced is that you will
not receive any activation code on your Mac even sure about setting everything
correctly. Seems like an Apple device issue with send and receive. Please try
below steps to fix, text message forwarding code not appearing on mac
Fix
1: iMessage Setting
Go
to your iPhone Messages settings and turn off iMessages and turn it on again.
Then go to the iMessages Settings on your Mac and do the same. After that it
worked for me. Also make sure to activate your telephone number in the
iMessages settings on your Mac.
Fix
2: Restart iCloud
Please
restart everything a few times & sign in and out of iCloud. Check again.
Fix
3: Apple id check
To
make the option Text Message Forwarding appear in Messages iOS Settings. It
will only appear if you are signed in with the same apple id address on both of
your devices IN iMESSAGES specifically. So test with following settings:
On
iPad: Settings>Messages>Send and Receive>
check your apple id address.
On
Mac: Messages>Preferences> check apple id
adress
On
iPhone do the same thing just sign out and sign back in with the address that
you are signed in with on your iPad and/or Mac. After that i got the Text
Message Forwarding option on the iPhone, turned it on, received a code on my
Mac, and entered it on my iPhone.
Fix
4: Mobile number setting:
The
key is that all the devices need to have the mobile number checked off in
Messages. On the iPad, under Settings/Messages/Send & Receive, make
sure that "You can be reached by iMessage at" has the check mark next
to your mobile number. Then activate "Text Message Forwarding"
on the iPhone side.
