Why can I receive messages to my iPhone and iPad, but not to my Mac?

[James Yarbrough]

Hi guys, my MacBook Pro and iPhone receives my messages and message forwarding but my Mac doesn't. Help? I send message from Mac and it shows up under another email number.

On the Mac... open Messages app - and go to preferences... look on the accounts tab... make sure the same AppleID you're using on the iPhone & MacBook is there for Messages on the Mac and the AppleID is enabled... and look at the "can be reached for messages at" is set as desired on the Mac.
