Call using iPhone failed

Hey folks,
updated my iphone 5 and iPad 3 to iOS 8, when I try to call from the iPad using the iPhone, I get "call using iPhone failed"
oon the phine under FaceTime, I have the options enabled.
any idea So?

I had this problem between my Mac and iPhone 5s. What is weirder is that I could place a call with the Mac, just not accept one. Reading through some of the docs, I noticed that it said "… same Wi-Fi network."
Now, when my Mac is on my desk, it is using a network cable connected to the same Airport base station as the Wi-Fi my iPhone uses. On a hunch I unplugged the network cable, using only the Wi-Fi on my Mac and it worked immediately.
So, make sure you are on the exact same Wi-Fi network (Not just that they are on the same base station — I have two setup on my Airport Extreme, one 2.4Ghz and one 5Ghz to keep older and newer devices separate [yes, it makes a huge speed difference]), ANDmake sure your Mac (if you are using one) is not using a wired connection.

Using Yosemite on Mac, out of NOWHERE makes a call using iPhone

This is gonna sound really weird, but happened twice already.
I have a Macbook Air on Yosemite 10.10.1 and an iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1)
Two days ago while just browsing on the web on my Mac out of nowhere suddenly appeared the call box thingy (the one for 'continuity' introduced recently) (top right of the screen, it said: "Calling <Brother's Name> using iPhone"). It appeared for like 10 seconds and then cut off. (I thought well, my brother called me and hung up).
But today it happened again. I was using a code editor (Sublime Text) doing nothing else and I see the same call interface box appear, once again saying "Calling <Brother's Name> using iPhone" and after 5 seconds my brother picks up the phone: "- Hello?".... I was like ***?, my iphone was right next to me on the table, completely locked and unused for the previous 1 hour or so, I had to ask my brother if I was the one who called him or vice versa and got surprised when he said I was calling him from my phone.
This is extremely weird and I would like to know if anywhere else has had this problem. I am a software engineer, I am not like tech-stupid or anything, I am pretty sure that out of nowhere my Macbook Air called my brother's phone (twice) using my iPhone. (his is an old Android phone if anyone cares),
I even picked up the iPhone to see if any message said "Calling <Brother's name> form mac" or something similar but nothing appeared on the phone. I even turned it off to make sure the call was taking place from the iPhone and wasn't anything else. As soon as the iPhone was turned off, the Mac call was dropped.
P.S. I don't do drugs nor have any mental illness. Also, English is not my first language but tried my best at making myself clear.

Not sure where this sound is coming from but the only way your iPhone would have a virus or worm would be if you hacked your iPhone with the cutsie term used for that being "jailbreak", and even then it wouldn't be a virus or worm since none exist for iOS.
Hacking an iPhone removes all the built-in security included with iOS allowing for downloading unofficial apps from untrusted sources. Such unofficial apps can include malware, but not a worm or virus with the definition of a virus including the ability to spread from device to device without the infected user's knowledge and there aren't any that affect iOS.

Yosemite iMac can start calls using iPhone, but the call doesn't move to the mac and stays on iPhone

Hey,
I've got a mid 2011 iMac, and I used it as part of the Yosemite beta program. During this, I was able to make and receive calls as part of the continuity feature perfectly.
After initially swapping to the release version, the iMac wouldn't make/take calls from the phone at all. I rectified that by signing out and back in to iCloud through facetime on both the iMac and iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1.
Now, the option to make/take a calls shows up on the iMac through facetime/contacts and the waveform appears from the notification centre, however all the audio comes from the iPhone as if it's been answered from the iPhone, there is no sound at all from the iMac.
Does any one have any solutions to this problem?
Thanks in advance.

From King_Penguin in response to an earlier query on this topic:
You should be able to copy it over by connecting your phone to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - it should copy over to the Books part of your library

Making a call using iPhone 4 but no sound?

Cannot hear ringing/people talking when making a call unless I turn on the loud speaker, what do I do to fix this?

It doesn't on mine. I'm assuming you are making a call from Contacts? If not then you want the dialpad to show so you can enter a number.

I can call up the MacBook to do but I can Call out With MacBook Using iPhone

However, I've done all the settings.

On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when on calls using internet based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. Voice memos work too and have already tried different SIMs

On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when I make/receive calls using internet-based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. I have tried recording my voice using voice memos - this works. And have already tried different SIM cards but the problem persists.
I have taken my phone to an authorized Apple service center, where they restored my phone to factory settings, but still facing the same issue. They service center directed me to Apple Customer Care Hotline, where I have now spent 3+ hours explaining my issue and yet no one can resolve it. The easy answer if to replace the phone - and since it is out of warranty, I am expected to pay for it.
Additionally, the customer service has been so rude and confrontational that it has completely changed my view of Apple and its customer focus. I am a disappointed and angry customer today - people would be surprised to hear just how rude customer service was including making statements such as "Apple doesnt make infallible products, that's why warranty is needed for our products" and that "every product undergoes a problem at some stage, so do ours!" There goes whatever confidence I had...
My concern is simple - if no one at Apple and / or its CS hotline is able to address my issue comprhensively and keep telling me that they have never encountered a precedent before, then with what right can they expect me to pay for a replacement?! I am NOT here to fund Apple's research into their product faults and manufacturing.
And even though a customer is out of warranty, is it too much to expect an Apple product to work well for at least a 'reasonable' period of time. My phone is less than 18 months old and has been facing this issue for the past 2 months - surely the longevity of Apple products is more than 18 months!
Just a sad sad day for an Apple customer, compounded by unjustifiably rude and aggressive staff. And still no resolution to my problem.

I am having the same issue - with my last 2 iPhone 4's. My first handset each time I was on a call wether it was up to my ear or on loud speaker, the call would automatically mute even though the mute button wouldn't show up as highlighted. Pressing the mute button on and off during the call doesn't fix it either. I rang Apple and asked what some of their trouble shooting solutions were. I got told that it might be a software issue and to install the latest software update. This failed. I then got told to uninstall the software on the phone and do a complete restore. This also failed. After trying the troubleshooting suggestions, I took the phone into my provider and they sent me out a new phone within a week under warranty claiming it was a hardware issue and probably just a "glitch" with that particular phone. This was not the case....
After receiving my second iPhone 4, I was hopeful that it would work. For the first couple of days, making/receiving calls was not an issue. Until after about a week, the same problem started again. In one instance I had to hang up and call back 4 times and the call would still automatically mute after about 5 seconds. Also on the second handset, the main camera located on the back of the phone has red and blue lines running through it and can't take a decent picture. So back to the store I go to get another replacement - Again.
For a phone that is rated highly and as a keen Apple product purchaser, I am a bit disappointed with the experience I have had with the iPhone 4. Let's hope they find a fix sometime soon because this is becoming a bit beyond a joke.....!!

I am using iphone 3gs and have accidentally clicked "update" to software version 5. However, after I failed and all my data was lost. I manage to restore back to my previous situation. But all my apps has been gone. How can I get back all my aps? I know I can get it by itunes but there are a few problems as below:
1. I have jailed break my iphone and I never purchased any apps from itunes
2. I have some important infomation saved in one of the apps called "awesome notes". How can I get it back? Is it store inside my computer? if so, how can i restore?
3. I am using window 7
I sincerely hope you guys can help me.
Regards,
Stephen Hong

alrite. I have made my mistake. I should not jail break my iphone. So if I purchase my apps again from itunes is that mean mean my data will be back?
I hope you guys can giv me some support here since I am Apple genuine buyer. I could be wrong last time and now I turn over a new leaf and learn a lesson.
Please noted that I can always create new account to ask for the same questions without mention about "jailbreak" if I want to but obviously I won't do that. Please provide me your support! Thank you!

FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.

FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.
This is the error message I receive when I try to add my phone to my Mac for proximity / FaceTime audio calling. This feature worked until I changed my Apple ID. I have updated my Apple ID everywhere I can think of updating it. I've signed out of Apple ID on my Mac, deleted EVERYTHING (calendars, contacts, etc.), signed back in, etc. I've done the same with my phone, and even done a power-down / reboot and nada. I keep getting this message from the Mac.
I can't figure out where else I should look for my old Apple ID to be logged into anything or creating problems. I've gone over my iPhone and Mac and I'm at a loss. As an aside (and yes, wrong forum), have lost the ability to do SMS forwarding since the Mac no longer receives the code from my iPhone to allow this feature to work. This was lost after signing out of the Apple ID on my Mac this afternoon.
Bluetooth is turned on for both devices. Both devices are on the same WiFi network. Both devices otherwise appear to be working correctly with the exception of the problems I'm having with FaceTime and iCloud being signed into the same Apple ID (which they are).
Thanks in advance,

(By the way, I should have pointed out in my earlier posting that I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on my Mac). I Just installed latest Yosemite update while my iPhone was switched off, and when my Mac restarted, the 'iPhone Cellular Calls' checkbox in the FaceTime preferences was checked and the problem was therefore solved. Switched on my iPhone, still fine. Relief.

My iphone 5 won't make a call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g

My iphone 5 won't call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g.
At work i dont have wifi i have 3g, if i launch say the sky go app,or the iplayer, sometimes they work and everything is fine...sometimes they wont load as 3g for whatever reason cant get a connection at that particular time........ if i then try and make a call the call will fail. I've experimented 25 + times and this is definately the cause.
(note: when the 3g connection does work, the phone has absolutely no problem calling people)
Anyone had this problem?
Even better has anyone got a solution?
Thanks,
Nick.

Are you sure that the carrier's signal is strong where you are having this problem? Certain building structures and locations have poor cellular signal strength and this often results in the "No Service" indication. Are other users able to get service in the same locations where you have problems?

I have this problem as well. The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn'

The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

I *AM* signed into Facetime and iCloud using the same Apple ID. Why am I receiving this error all of a sudden? I make calls using my Mac and need this feature. I have tried disabling and re-enabling both over a dozen times. TRUST ME, it is NOT user error -- it is Apple releasing features before they are fully ready error!

I'm pretty sure we can clarify whether or not we are on a Public Beta or not, despite NDA........

I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.

thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?
