Hello everybody,

I am trying to sync all my iMessages across all my devices, Mac air (Mid-2011), ipad 4th gen, and iphone 5.

I was able to send an iMessage through one device and it will appear on all my devices (that is good, that is what I was trying to do) but when I delete one iMessage on one device it does not delete the iMessage on the other two devices. Is this function available? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Mac (OSX 10.9.3) iOS devices (iOS 8.0.2)

Same here. I don't believe that will be available until Yosemite is released. I have had to manually delete the iMessages I sent from my iPhone that were synced to my Mac.

As of this writing, with Yosemite installed, I still cannot get iMessage to sync between my 2012 MBP Retina and my iPhone 6.

I don't think this is a feature of iMessage. It would appear that the service pushes messages to all the devices but doesn't work the other way (clients pushing back changes).
