I'm having a bit of a strange issue. I was messaging someone (through iMessage) on my iPhone, and as soon as I got home, I opened it up on my Mac, and realized I couldn't see any of his replies, so clearly the messages didn't sync to my Mac. I tried signing out of Messages and in again, which did nothing. I also tried disabling and re-enabling my Mac under Messages > Settings > iMessage > Enable Messages in iCloud (I unchecked and rechecked this), and I still can't see any of his replies. I also tried restarting, which didn't work. What's weird is that I can see all the messages I sent to him, but not any of his responses. Any ideas as to what's going on?
 
I had the same thing yesterday (Wednesday) morning (I'm in the UK). My received messages only appeared on my iPhone. Normal service resumed a few hours later but the received messages from the morning are still only available on my phone. An iCloud issue, perhaps? It doesn't seem to be widely reported so maybe it didn't affect many people.

Oh, what the hell! Now they're appearing on my Mac (the day after)! Ok, that I can't explain...
