Things come to me as I sit around at night, and I always forget them the next day. For some reason, tonight, I sent myself an iMessage to remind me to call a friend in the morning. I wanted the red dot to bug me, thus forcing me to open the message and read the reminder. I send myself then...

Hi, I've noticed that if my iPhone is locked and near my iMac text notifications go to my iMac. I don't get a sound or screen light up on my iPhone. If I wake the phone I can see that the text is there just no notification. If I then start using my phone I will start receiving notifications on...
