Sumario:The ALICE collaboration has studied inclusive J/$\psi$ and $\psi$(2S) production at forward rapidities in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV with the ALICE Muon Spectrometer. The analysis has been carried out on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity $\mathcal{L}_{\rm int}$ = 1.35 pb$^{-1}$. The production cross-sections of J/$\psi$ and $\psi$(2S), integrated over the transverse momentum (0 $<$ $p_{{\mathrm T}}$ $<$ 20 GeV/$c$) and rapidity (2.5 $<$ $y$ $<$ 4), have been measured. The J/$\psi$ and $\psi$(2S) differential cross-sections, in transverse momentum and rapidity, have also been measured, significantly extending the $p_{{\mathrm T}}$ reach of previous measurements performed in the same $y$-range. The results have been compared with the previously published ALICE results ($\mathcal{L}_{\rm int}$ = 15.6 nb$^{-1}$) and also with the measurement performed by the LHCb collaboration. The $\psi$(2S)/J/$\psi$ ratio, integrated over $p_{{\mathrm T}}$ and $y$, has been measured. This ratio has also been evaluated as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity and compared with the LHCb measurement. Finally, recent results on cross-sections, $\psi$(2S)/J/$\psi$ production ratio, nuclear modification factor ($R_{\rm pPb}$) and forward-to-backward yield ratio ($R_{\rm FB}$) in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV will be discussed.
