How to connect my phone to macbook air for the call feature ?

Hi, my macbook air, 2014 just upgraded to OS X Yosemite. My iPhone is the 5 version, iOS 8.02. I don't know how to connect my phone to the mac for the call feature. What should I do first?
Thanks very much!

Check these settings:
On the phone:
On your Mac (FaceTime Preferences):
Your AppleIDs for both need to be identical, and both using the same WiFi network.

  • Hi I just got my new Apple TV and I cant figure out how to connect it with My MacBook Air (11-inch, Late 2010- Processor  1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) OSX Version 10.8

    Are you referring to mirroring or you just unable to set up homesharing.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

  • HT1941 trying to connect time  apsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port the airport utility doesn't detect it

    trying to connect time  capsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port but the airport utility doesn't detect it but when i put it in the LAN one it does but it doesn't let me configure
    any ideas?

    Isn't it fun trying to do things without an ethernet cable direct to the computer.. Apple sell a usb to ethernet adapter cable fairly cheap.. makes life a lot easier having something to do hard connections.. or as hard as usb can manage.
    Since you have to access the TC by wireless .. press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. don't worry about the ethernet cable.. leave it disconnected.
    Now click on the airport symbol and join another network. The TC should revert to its home name.. which will be a combo of Time Capsule and its MAC address. There is no wireless security and you can do the setup.

  • How do I clear space on Macbook air in the following folders? Mail, Containers and Application support under libraries?

    How do I clear space on Macbook air in the following folders? Mail, Containers and Application support under libraries?

    Why? If you need space on the SSD:
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Get an external hard drive on which to store some of your files after which you can
          erase the data from your internal drive to free up space.
      5. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      6. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      7. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • Can I exchange my macbook air for the new pro?

    I recently bought a haswell series 13" macbook air exactly 1 week before the introduction of the new haswell macbook pros.  After considering the spec and price difference I realized I'd rather have the pro. I looked on the returns tab on the website.  It said I can return my product within 14 days. Is it possible for me to exchange my air for the pro without having to go through returning my macbook air and buying the pro?  I realized the price difference wasn't all that differernt and I wouldn't mind the extra power. I currently have the 13" macbook air i5 with 8gb. I plan on getting the 8gb for the 13" retina display macbook pro as well

    I strongly doubt it. The best thing for you to do is to return this one before the 14 days expire. If the time passes you will have to keep the Air and try to sell it privately.
    Once Apple accepts the Air back and you know you are getting a refund you can start the order process for the Pro.

  • Can I use a macbook air for the screen when using a mac mini?

    No. That feature is only available on iMacs.

  • How do i set up my macbook pro for the software i want to use

    how do i customize the building of my mac?  i want to add the software that i want?

    Most of the factory software-installation options have been dropped recently. This is probably because almost everything that Apple used to offer to preinstall for you can now be obtained very quickly and easily through the App Store.

    How to turn off screen on Macbook Air when connected to Led monitor screen?

    The only way you can turn it off is to close the lid - so you would need an external wired or wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad attached.

  • I have a Canon MP640 and I am trying to connect my Macbook Air to the wi-fi how do I do this?

    I have a Canon MP640 and I am trying to connect my Macbook Air to the wi-fi how do I do this?  I have been able to connect through the USB no problems.

    What version of mac are you running? Have you downloaded any of the drivers/software off the website yet? If not, you will need to download and install the CUPS Printer Driver and the Canon IJ Network tool.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp640#DriversAndSoftware
    Then, you will want to open and use the Network Tool to set up the network connection

  • How do i sync iMessage on my phone and macbook air

    imessage on my phone and macbook air used to be synced, in that all of the messages either sent or recieved would show up on both my iphone 5s and my macbook, in the last week this hasnt happened though and the messages only show up on one or ther other; if my computer is on they only show up on there but if its off they will come to my phone, how can i get them to sync again to make then come up on both??

    Hi bec1993,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    I believe there may be an issue revolving around the Apple iD or the iMessaging accounts being used on your iPhone and MacBook Air.
    In order for iMessages to sync between iOS devices they need to use the same Apple iD. This basically will link all your iOS devices in n Apple ecosystem where they will all be synced across all your iOS devices.
    The first thing to do is check if the iMessaging accounts are using the same Apple iD:
    To do this first on the Mac go to the application Messages:
              1.          Click messages from the menu bar at the top of the screen
              2.          Click Preferences
              3.          Click Accounts, from here you will see all the places where you are getting messages to your MacBook.
              4.          Look at all the accounts where the iMessaging description is/the accounts that are sending and receiving iMessages on your MacBook Air. They all have iMessage in the description below the address
    Now go to your iPhone:
              1.          Go to settings
              2.          Scroll down to Messages
              3.          Make sure that iMessage is turned on
              4.          Then go to Send and Receive and click this
              5.          Make sure that the Apple iD at the top of the screen matches address that was found in Step 4 of the first part and make sure they match up and are identical.
    If they aren't - you can change the wrong one and this with fix your problem and have the messages resyncing again.
    If they are the same and still not syncing, simply log out of the accounts on both sign out in the preferences on Messages OS X and log out in Messages iOS and then reenter your details in both correctly.
    I hope this helps and please keep be posted as to if you succeed.
    Many Thanks

  • HT2494 How do I connect my TV to my macbook air. The socket I used on my white macbook is not present?

    Have just bought a Macbook Air and the socket I used to use to connect my Macbook (White) to the TV when watching video is missing. What can I do?

    The new MacBook Air has a Thunderbolt port. Apple introduced this form factor with the Late 2008 model (then called MiniDisplay Port. I suspect your MacBook had a Mini-DVI port. So you'll need to purchase an adapter for this computer as well as any additional cabling.

    Don't pay any mind to the fact that it says MiniDisplay Port and not Thunderbolt, it's backwards compatible.

  • I just got a macbook air for xmas- now i wont get texts on my iPhone. they go right to my laptop. how can i get the texts to go to BOTH devices?

    My hubby just got me a macbook air for Xmas which is awesome.  Set it up to be able to ichat on it as well as on my iphone.  Only now i wont get texts on my iphone- ONLY on my laptop.  How can i configure so that I can get texts on my computer AND my phone. NOT just one or the other? Please help!

    Hi,
    The Mac version will use your Apple ID as the first and only choice...
    ... Until you add the same Apple ID to Messages on the iPhone.
    Once this is done it is best to Restart the app on the Mac.
    This will then get at least one, possibly two pop up saying the iPhone in using the Apple ID and the iPhone Number.
    Accepting these Pop ups will enable the iPhone as an ID to be used in the Receive At List.
    It will also appear in the drop down at the bottom for "Start New Conversations from"
    If you did not set iyt up like this then remove the apple ID from the iPhone in the Settings > Messages.
    Place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the server.
    Take it out of Airplane Mode and re-add the Apple ID in the Messages settings.
    Then Restart the app on the Mac as above.
    Having done this you can still turn Off the Apple ID on the iPhone (receive as the iPhone number only) or disable the iPhone Number on the Mac (receive Apple ID stuff only)
    The Start New Conversations option on the Mac version means you could use the iPhone number so people don't get your email.

  • How to delete data from hard disk before returning Macbook Air to the store

    I need to return a recently purchased Macbook Air to the store. How do I delete all data from the hard drive before I return the notebook?

    Ahh, you want to WIPE the entire drive,.....command R on startup, disk utilities....select MacIntosh HD,......ERASE it format it in MAC OSX extended journaled.
    after than, you can do a wifi or ethernet reinstall to factory OUT OF BOX new condition.    Usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours if you have a descent fast www connection.

  • Can't Pair Phone with Macbook Air with Yosemite

    I just upgraded to Yosemite and now I can't pair my iPhone 6 with my Macbook Air. I believe, and I may be wrong, that I have to have the devices paired via Bluetooth to have the features such s being able to answer my phone on my MacBook Air, or using my Air to make a call via my iPhone etc..
    This will be the first time I have tried to pair them together.
    Both my Phone and my MacBook Air show the other device. When I click on pair on the Air I get the message with the number, which shows on my phone as well, and then I click pair on the phone to accept, and then I get the error "Connection Unsuccessful" saying that my MacBook Air is not supported. Really?
    Is this a fix coming with IOS 8.1?
    Anybody have an answer?

    ok. I figured it out. Not the bluetooth part, still won't pair, but I have the "answering my iPhone" with my mac part figured out. I just had to turn on the "iPhone cellular calls" option under FaceTime settings.

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?
