I have an iPhone 5C running 8.1.3 and a MacBook Pro running.. whatever the latest OS X is (sorry, I'm brand new to Mac. I just got mine on Tuesday :D).

I'm trying to set up Handoff? (I think that's what it's called) so I can respond to my text messages from my laptop. I get the message from my phone to enter the code shown on my Mac (so, it fully detects it and knows it exists) but no message pops up on my laptop. What am I doing wrong?

Is your Mac running on Mavericks or Yosemite?

Go to  → About This Mac.

Handoff only works on Yosemite.
