Can I I place a call from my iPhone 5s using USB connected iMac

I was pleasantly surprised when I found my iMac (2012-Yosemite 10.10.2) could be notified and answer calls from my USB connected iPhone 5s (OSx8.2).
Question: Can I also place a call from my iMac; and if so, How? Is there an app for that?

USB connection has nothing to do with it. They have to be on the same WiFi network. It's part of 'Continuity' in OS X Yosemite and iOS 8. You can place calls using FaceTime on your Mac.

  • When I place a call from my iphone, I am identified to the receiver of the call by my state of residence instead of my name. How can I change this? Thanks!

    That would be an issue on the recipients end.
    sounds like they didn't save your number in their contacts.

  • Can a Stored Procedure be called from a Rule (not using Scripted JDBC Adap)

    Hello smart people,
    Question: Can a stored procedure be called from a Rule without using the Scripted JDBC Resource Adapter?
    What's Desired: The project has very strong sql developers and average at best Java developers. We have been successful at implementing the scripted JDBC Resource Adapter which makes use of Java Bean shells. The custom Java Bean shell contains code that calls a stored procedure. We are cool with that process.
    However we would like to be able to set up a Rule that calls a Stored Procedure without jumping thru the Java Bean Shell layer. The Stored Procedures we will be developing will not access the tables in the Waveset database. Instead the Stored Procedures will be accessing custom tables in a custom database. The custom DBase will be housed on the same dBase server as the Waveset database.
    Environment: Identity Manager 7.1. Oracle 10i, and Unix OS.
    It seems to me that this task is possible, but the posts in this forum make it sound like perhaps it is not.
    Do any of you smart people agree that it should be possible or better yet has anyone implemented such an approach?
    Thanks.

    We did this by putting all of the JDBC calls into a Java class, then instantiated that class and called the methods from within a rule. An example of a rule we used is this:
    <Rule authType='UserMembersRule' name='List UserType'>
      <block>
        <defvar name='adapter'>
          <new class='com.waveset.adapter.ScriptedJdbcResourceAdapter'/>
        </defvar>
        <invoke name='setResource'>
          <ref>adapter</ref>
          <invoke name='getObject' class='com.waveset.ui.FormUtil'>
            <ref>context</ref>
            <s>Resource</s>
            <s>Banner</s>
          </invoke>
        </invoke>
        <defvar name='jdbcHelper'>
          <new class='edu.bates.JDBCHelper'>
            <invoke name='getConnection'>
              <ref>adapter</ref>
            </invoke>
          </new>
        </defvar>
        <defvar name='userList'>
          <new class='java.util.ArrayList'/>
        </defvar>
        <invoke name='addQueryToList'>
          <ref>jdbcHelper</ref>
          <s>SQL QUERY HERE</s>
          <ref>userList</ref>
        </invoke>
        <ref>userList</ref>
      </block>
      <MemberObjectGroups>
        <ObjectRef type='ObjectGroup' id='#ID#Top' name='Top'/>
      </MemberObjectGroups>

  • Can I fax a pdf file from pc through HP 5610 usb connection?

    My old XP pc had a telephone/fax modem that allowed me to send out papaerless documents as faxes.
    My new Win 8.1  desktop has no such hardware.
    I found a 5610 All-in one at the thrift store. Can I direct files through the usb port to be sent as faxes--or do I need to print to paper and use the document feed on the 5610?
    Thanks

    Hello @deepthinker,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're looking for a way to fax from your Windows 8.1 computer through your HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One Printer. This is an option with your HP Officejet. Please follow the steps below to properly configure this feature.
    Step 1: Connect Fax Cable:
    You need to plug a Fax Cable into the rear of your printer and plug it directly into the telephone wall jack. The faxes are sent from your computer to your printer as USB Cable  'print jobs' but nothing will print. Rather, when the fax document information gets to the printer the fax modem will take over and send the fax for you. You need to have an active telephone line attached to your fax port on the printer in order for this process to complete.
    Once the fax cable is attached, please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Install Printer:
    In order to have the fax portion of the driver installed, the HP Full Feature Software and Driver package needs to be loaded on your Windows Operating System.
    Please click here to access the correct driver. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. Please follow through with the onscreen instructions to install your printer.
    Step 3: Send Fax:
    To send a fax from your Windows computer, you simply open the document you wish to fax. Then, go to File and Print. In the print dialogue window change the printer to the HP Officejet 5610 - FAX and select Print. A new window will open that will allow you to type in the fax number you wish to send to. Once you hit OK or Print then you will hear your machine send the fax.
    Please let me know if these steps work for you. Good luck!

  • HT1386 Can I delete an Apple ID from my iPhone and use another one instead?

    I have used a family member's Apple ID and now I have my own and would like to sync my iPhone with my new ID.  Can I do that and keep the apps I have already downloaded?  They are all free apps but I can get them again if needed.  I just need to know how to get the new ID on my phone.
    Thanks!

    You will keep the Apps you have, but you will not be able to update them unless you sign back into that Apple ID.
    Go into Settings > Store, at the bottom select your Apple ID, sign out, and sign in with the new one.

  • How can I recover deleted text messages from my iPhone 5 using my iphone 5

    I deleted some of my text messages and now I need them back.

    Did you back up the phone before deleting the messages?  If so, restore the backup.  If not, they're gone. 
    Don't trust web sites that claim to have software that recovers without a backup - they are scams and identity theft sites.

  • I can't receive texts or calls from certain phones

    I can't receive texts or calls from at least 2 AT&amp;T phones and at least one sprint iphone...I've reset the settings, deleted threads, called my carrier (tmobile) to make sure there are no blocks in place. It's weird because I can't even receive texts from tmobile or my bank! My bill is paid and I do get messages from other numbers. Can anyone help?

    Finally got through to talk to a very helpful technician at EE by selecting account query rather than technical problem on the automated answering system on 150. A reset by EE sorted the problem out and the phone is working fine again.

    Yes, you should make an RFC function in ERP and inside the

    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?
