Can I call a mac laptop using my iPhone 5? For free?

I'm away on holiday soon and want to use FaceTime to call a mac laptop. How do I do this? And is it free?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Without any problem. To be able to call a Mac, this computer must have the FaceTime app, included with OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, and available for Snow Leopard in the Mac App Store.
Calls work in the same way as you do to call to other iPhones, iPods touch and iPads with FaceTime, but select an email address instead of a phone number (I'm not sure if you can use a phone number to call to a Mac with OS X Mountain Lion). FaceTime is completely free, unless you aren't connected to a Wi-Fi network on the iPhone; in this case, you may be calling using your carrier's network, and you may have to pay

    Can I transfer an e-book from my Mac laptop to my iPhone?  I have installed the iBook app, but don't know if I can transfer my e-books.

    Be careful with the transfer talk.  Keynote for the pad and the mac are slightly different- so make sure the template they plan to sell you will work on the pad, as opposed to a mac. 
    If you can get it as a file, you can e mail it to your self, or stick it in drobobx and bring it down, or use your normal syncing device.
    How are you syncing your pad now, with a PC?
    if they are selling it for the pad, they must have a way to get it to you. So spend some time on their website and see if they have some good instructions for you.

    I do not seem to have that as an option. Attached is a screen shot with the gear popup open. I simply copied the event and projct folders from my desktop so I could contiue working while on a trip with my laptop.

    Hello apple
    I have the problem with my iPhone and my friends have this problem too.
    My iPhone have the problem about calling and answer the call. When I use my iPhone to call I can't hear anything from my iPhone but the person that I call can answer it but when answer both of us can't hear anything and when I put my iPhone to my face the screen is still on and when I quit the phone application and open it again it will automatic call my recent call. And when my friends call me my iPhone didn't show anything even the missed call I'm only know that I missed the call from messages from carrier. Please check these problem I restored my iPhone for 4 time now in this week. I lived in Hatyai, Songkhla,Thailand and many people in my city have this problem.
    Who have this problem??

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

  • Can you boot a Mac Pro using a USB Pen Drive?

    Hello.
    Can you boot a Mac Pro using a USB Pen Drive? OS=Windows or Linux or BSD or MacOS... I know it is bios specific on a PC if the option is available. If this is possible, does anyone have a link to instructions?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Not to get in to an argument over semantics here, but by saying "Windows should boot if you have installed the requisite Boot Camp drivers," you are implying "that the Boot Camp drivers [are] needed for Windows to boot." I was just clarifying your post so people didn't get confused.
    As for booting a Mac Pro off a USB flash drive, if you have been successful in doing so, can you share with me your method? I've tried booting of an OCZ Rally2 4GB flash drive and it's never worked on my Mac Pro. It doesn't show up when I hold option down and if I try to boot through rEFIt, I get an error about my Mac's firmware not supporting USB booting (I have the latest firmware installed, too). I've tried GPT and MBR partitions, both to no avail. Booting off USB hard disk drives is no problem though. And I can boot off this flash drive on a Core Duo iMac.
    Any ideas?

  • HT204053 I have an iphone4s and I just purchesed a new ipad. I can use face to face to call from my Iphone to my ipad but I can't call from my ipad to my iphone.

    I have an iphone4s and I just purchesed a new ipad. I can use face to face calling from my iphone to my ipad but i can't call from my ipad to my iphone on wifi.

    I have also discovered that they have moved the audio books storage on the iPad from iBooks app (Audio Books Collection) where they have been stored up until now and are now to be found in the iTunes app under audiobooks, selection on the bottom row. So much hastle why can't they just say so right upfront on Apple iTunes Audio books?

  • I cant call with my ipad using my iphone

    I can no longer call from my ipad using my iphone since i updated to IOS 8.0.2nplease help if any have ever used this feature its pretty cool

    Hi Hazazi91,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    Using your iPad to make phone calls is a great feature! I would suggest reading over the following article and using the information to make sure everything is set up correctly.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    Phone calls
    To make and receive phone calls on your iPad or iPod touch, here's what you need:
    Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later.
    Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    Both devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same Apple ID.
    This means any iOS device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
    Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

    can i make a video and use an external mixer for the sound with my ipod touch?

    You need a special plug to use the iPod's mic in for the headphone jack. If you compare a headphone plug for a set that includes a mic and one that does not you can see that there is a difference.

  • Can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    Forgive me as I did this a while ago, but heres how I remember it happening:
    1. I wiped it
    2. I selected "Set up as New iPhone"
    3. It registered
    4. It was activated, and was an iPod Touch basically
    5. I sold it, so I can't try it. I now use Verizon, so no SIM, although I do have an original iPhone (retired), but can't find my old SIM.

    There is no solution here and you should already have known this as you replied to a thread all about this a few up from your own post and this stated the postition quite clearly and the question was answered.
    Why do you ask the same question again?  The first answer is not going to change just because you don't like it!!

  • I have a CS3 for windows and I switched to a mac.  Can I get a mac version without having to pay for the suite again

    I have a CS3 for windows and I switched to a mac.  Can I get a mac version without having to pay for the suite again?

    No.
    Adobe only offers a Platform Swap on current software: Order product | Platform, language swap
    CS3 is also too old to have an "upgrade path" and is no longer sold or supported by Adobe.
    You do, as a CS3 owner, qualify for a 40% discount on your first year of a Creative Cloud Subscription though: Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    If you don't want to go with the subscription service, Adobe does still offer CS6 (4 versions away from current & no longer receiving updates) as a "one time payment/download" perpetual license: Creative Suite 6

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
