Why do I get the message "iPhone Not Available" when trying to make calls from my Mac even when both devices are clearly on the same Wi-Fi network?

I am using a mid-2010 Mac Book and the iPhone 6. I can't imagine that it is due to the age of my Mac because if it was disqualified, then we would not get the option to use it to take calls.

I get the same message and stating that both the iPhone and Mac must be on the same network, which they are. I was able to call from my iPad through the iPhone on the same network I'm using for the iMac and iPhone. I've tried several settings configurations on the iPhone but to no avail.

Keep getting "FaceTime failed" when trying to make calls from my iMac

I am trying to make FaceTime calls from my iMac.
So far it has not worked at all. No matter what number I try to call (I am calling people who have FaceTime enabled iPhones), it rings for a while and then I get "FaceTime failed".
Any ideas what it could be?

TS4062 I've done all of these recommended steps. My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync. Any other suggestions?

I've done all of these recommended steps. My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync. My iTunes is version 11.0..3.42, iPhone is 6.1.4, and iPad 6.1.3. Any suggestions?

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account. how do I fix this?

I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account. It says that i have to authorize my macbook and sign into iTunes, but then says its already authorized. How do I fix this?

Hi stuartbonk,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Here are some steps you can try if you keep getting asked to authorize your MacBook for iTunes:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203160
If you authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases, but you can't play them and iTunes keeps prompting you to authorize, try these suggestions.
Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
To authorize your purchases from an administrator account, follow these steps:
Log in to the administrator account.
Note: If you don't have access to an administrator password, you'll need to contact the administrator of this computer. If this is a work computer, this may be your IT department.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. You can download the latest version free.
Choose Store > Authorize Computer.
Enter your iTunes account name and password.
Note: If you have multiple accounts, you'll need to log in to the iTunes Store and authorize each account separately.
Quit iTunes.
After you've authorized your computer on your administrator account, you'll need to log out and log back in to the user account you'd like to play your purchases from. Once you're logged back in, simply open iTunes, select an iTunes Store purchase in your library, and click Play. The item should begin to play.Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.Remove the SC Info folderIf you're still unable to authorize your computer to play your purchases, you may be able to resolve your issue by removing the "SC Info" folder. To do so, follow these steps:
OS X
Quit iTunes and any other open applications until only Finder is open.
Choose Go > Go to Folder.
Type /Users/Shared/SC Info and click Go.
If Finder is not already set to column view, set it by choosing View > as Columns.
Select the SC Info folder and move it to the Trash by choosing File > Move to Trash.
Restart the computer and open iTunes.
Authorize your computer to play your purchases. Note: If you have multiple accounts you'll need to authorize your computer for each account. For more information on how to authorize your computer, see this article.

Did you use the latest backup after setting it up "as new device"? If yes, try again, this time without using the backup, maybe it contains damaged data causing your problem.
If this does not bring any change, you should get it serviced.

Is the wait for a second iPad mini worth it? And just curious, most new apple devices are priced at the previous models price, correct?

I'm not trying to speculate, but most new devices are priced at thee previous models original price? Correct me if I'm wrong please.
Thanks!

Since nothing in terms of a new mini has been announced, there would be no way anyone could answer that question. As for pricing, in the recent past that has tended to be the pattern, but again, could easily change.
And there is no way to answer the question that does not involve speculation.

Why do I get the message that my browser is trying to block me from logging out of a website properly and to close my browser?

When I log into my online banking and then log out, I get a pop-up message that says my browser is trying to block me from logging out properly and recommends closing my browser to maintain security. This does not happen on any other website I log into.

Windows 7, Firefox 4.0. I have the exact same problem. Those solutions had no effect, I still get the error message described by OP.
And I also get "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" as well as when I look at this page
http://www.wbir.com/weather/radar/local/default.aspx
I get "Firefox has prevented this page from automatically reloading"
I know of tools/options/general/accessibility/warn me when..., but I don't want to turn that off for all sites. Is there a way to whitelist trusted sites so only those sites will be allowed to automatically reload and redirect?

While I watch shows/movies on Apple TV, I get the message: iTunes not available. Please try again later.

I have Apple TV v.2.0. Recently-when I'm watching TV shows or movies from iTunes-the video suddenly stops and the following message appears on screen: iTunes not available. Please try again later. What can I do to fix this? I've been using Apple TV for more than 5yrs, and I've never had this issue until recently.

Hi timsamt,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your Apple TV. From what I gather from your description (intermittent issue, occurs with iTunes content, no specific pattern), it sounds like it may be some sort of intermittent network connectivity issue. If that is the case, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

Why do I get this message "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: js/ff_browser:204"

I am using a laptop, OS = Vista Home Premium. The message occurs often when I have my browser open, it will occur whether or not I'm working on my laptop.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

When loading a new site using Firefox, why do I get a message that tells me that "firefox prevented this page from automatically directing to another page. Allow?"

When loading a page using Firefox, at the top of the page, I get a mesage telling me "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page - Allow?" This happens almost every time I begin a new page and Firefox will not allow the page to continue uploading. I have to tell it to allow every time, even on pages I've 'allowed' in the past.

The Redirection option is an Accessibility feature for people with Disabilities so that they will know when a page is going to be reloaded. It is not a Security feature.
IF you still want it, click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Advanced -> General -> place Checkmark on '''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''
-> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox

IPhone won't update to iOS5 - get error message "iPhone not eligible for ugrade""

I have an iphone 3gs and an ipad, and neither of them will update. I have lion on my 27" imac with all software up to date, and the devices wont update. I recieve error message "your device is not eligible for the requested update"
I have no idea what weird problem this is, but the devices didnt update before i had lion either. Also, they didnt update to recent versions of iOS4, and I recieved the identical error message.
Thanks, Cole

This usually means that the device has been unlocked, hacked or jailbroken. If you use iTunes and click the Update button to update you should never see this message; instead it will say that you have the latest version. Where did you get the update file you are trying to install?

Why do I get a message for not meeting minimum hardware requirements?

I'm running OS X 10.5.8 on a Dual 2 GHz Power PC G5 with 8.5 GB Ram. Why does the installer no let me install the upgrade?

Bummer. So for now I've maxed out on my hardware and should start saving for a new Mac.
Cozumel is nice. We'll have a photo shootout and workshop in september. Since you're a certified trainer, you might want to consider giving an aperture or photoshop workshop.
Cheers
