How do you do that? I can start/receive a conversation on my iPhone or Mac, but I won't see the same conversation on both devices. Is there some switch to flip to get the conversation on both devices?
The conversations are supposed to sync, but I have noticed that they don't always.

I'm afraid I haven't been well enough to dig into why that might be.

Sometimes, when I'm in bed, a message will come in on my iPhone, and I then go to my Mac and send a reply. From that time on, the messages come to my Mac. Other times, messages will be coming in and in sync on my iPhone, Mac, and iPad.

I suspect that this will improve when iOS 6 comes out, which is another reason I haven't been that excited about jumping into it.

Are both devices on iCloud?
Are the Settings the same for
Messages | Receive At

It might be that with iOS 5 it is limited and iOS 6 will extend it to Macs.

"iMessage lets you send text messages to anyone with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 5."
