Cannot make call from MBP, although both iPhone and MBP share the same ID

Both my iPhone 6 Plus and MBP with Yosemite have the same Apple ID, iCloud and Face Time details - account  (and the same Wifi). Yet, when I try to dial from MBP contacts, I get this message, I don't understand why.

Find my friends is designed to locate DIFFERENT Apple ID's.  So if you want to use FMF for this purpose, you would need to create a different apple ID for one of your devices.
OR, you could use the Find My iPhone App.  Which will display ALL of your devices.

  • Mail on iMac not accessing MS Exchange server but both iPhone and iPad access the same account with no problems.

    I have been using an iPhone and iPad to access my work emails via our MS Exchange server for a number of years now with no problems at all.  I recently replaced my home PC with an iMac (first Mac I have owned) but cannot get it to communicate with the exchange server.  I've checked and re-checked the information on the iMac and my iPad - I even deleted the mail account on the iPad and input the details concurrently with setting up on the iMac - but the Mac will not access the exchange server.
    I receive the message "The Exchange server "---------------" rejected the password for user "------"  Enter you password again or cancel."  I am using the correct password.  iPad and iPhone are logging on using that password fine.  iMac just ends up repeating this message.
    Our IT support at work assure me that there is no reason from their end for it not to work, and reasonably point to it working using the iPhone etc.
    I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can provide a solution to this basic, but extremely frustrating, little problem.

    iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
    I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
    iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
    These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
    So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
    In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
    Good luck!

  • Can I use my phone number in imessage for both iphone and ipad in the same chats?

    I want to use iMessage from my ipad with my phone number not with my e-mail because most of my friends have not my e-mail under my name in their phones.
    So what I want to is being able to talk in the same chat from my ipad and iphone with out showing my e-mail to the person who I'm talking with because that making the chat appears one to me but two to him.
    Thank you and sorry for bad English ;)

    On I pad it only work with E mails because the I Pad is not associated with your cell phone number.

  • App on both iPhone and iPad at the same time?

    I tried Google, some FAQs and looking through threads here, but didn't find an answer.
    (If I missed it could you please link me to it?)
    If I buy an app will I be allowed to sync it both to my phone and pad or do I have to choose which one I want to use it on?

    If I buy an app will I be allowed to sync it both to my phone and pad
    Yes, unless either device is listed as incompatible in the application's description.

  • Can I add a new page to both phone and desktop in the same respective location? Can this only be done manually?

    It appears that once you create your phone site, from that point on, when I add a new page to one layout or the other, the "Page/go to same" command struggles. Can I create a new page and have it automatically create a matching placeholder page on the alternate format/site plan?

    Hi
    To answer your query, I am afraid you cannot add a new page to both phone and desktop in the same respective location. You need to manually do the same.

  • I upgraded Firefox (Wndows). I cannot make calls from Gmail anymore and I cannot opt out of all ads!

    I tried to reset all my preferences to the prior version. Nothing works. I cannot not copy/paste from the mouse anymore.
    I cannot eliminate ads (I used to). I cannot make calls from Gmail like before this version?
    I am very frustrated.

    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    and what it does. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
    '''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
    Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
    know what it is, use a web search.

  • Cannot make calls from Guernsey On T-mobile pay as you go

    Cannot make calls from Guernsey On Samsung Galaxy S4 with T-mobile pay as you go SIM butcan receive calls. Get a voice message saying this service is not available when trying to make a call

    Hi 
    It could be that you need a replacement SIM.
    Did you look in call barring to see if any bars were enabled?
    you could also try removing and giving the SIM a wipe with a soft cloth. When you pop it back in do a reboot.
    Thanks. 

  • Cannot make calls from phones other than my own?

    I have a Skype To Go number for the unlimited US/Canada package.  I cannot make calls from phones other than my own: "Due to technical fault..." What's the point of having Skype then?

    That makes no sense at all. The phone doesn't know or care what kind of phone is calling it. There's something else causing this. Contact your carrier.

  • HT201493 My Wife and I share the same email address but each has an IPhone. We would like to have both of us individually on find friends but cannot do it via the email route. how is it done?

    My wife and I share the same email address but have separate IPhones. We would like to have each phone individually on "find friends" but cannot do it via email route. How is it done?

    make seperate appleID's if you wish to be frinds or if you wish to facetime video chat and if you wish to not recieve the samme imessage msg's unless you turn it off
    you can still set both your iphones to use an email address even if both have different appleId's
    the appleID is a handle not a link to an email address

    Traded in my iPhone for a different brand of phone. I had no idea that I had to sign out of iMessage before doing this. Now, my old phone is gone and my new phone cannot receive texts from people who have iphones and had me as a contact before. They try to send an iMessage and I have no way to receive an iMessgae now. On some server somwhere my AppleID still tells people they should send me iMessages. What is the solution to this issue? Deleting my AppleID would work to solve this issue, but I cannot ever delete the ID? What can Apple do for this?

    If you did not erase your apps and data before getting rid of your old phone, try using Find My Phone and erasing everything remotely. See if this works.

  • HT204407 My wife and I share the same email address but have different iphone numbers.  Is there anyway we can both be on "Find Friends."

    my family and I share the same account of apple. I'm getting phone calls and messages from my mothers and my number and  vice versa. is there anything we can do

    The short solution is to go to Settings > FaceTime > iPhone Cellular Calls OFF.
    However, as Csound points out, you should not really be sharing an Apple ID with anyone. See: How to Stop Sharing an Apple ID.

    Hi Jamesdwills,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
    Check out this information from the iPad User Guide.  Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:
    Using Game Center
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
    Game Center settings - iPad User Guide
    http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9a13d039
    Game Center settings
    Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
    Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
    Allow invites
    Let nearby players find you
    Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
    Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
    Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
    Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Cheers,

  • I have two devices (Iphone and Ipad) on the same Apple ID. When I go to Icloud and click at the "find Iphone" I see only one of my devices. How can I do to see both of them?

    I have two devices (Iphone and Ipad) on the same Apple ID. When I go to Icloud and click at the "find Iphone" I see only one of my devices. How can I do to see both of them?

    Obvious question, but have you got 'Find My iPhone' set on both devices?  Settings>iCloud>Find My iPhone.

  • I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96

    I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells in a column,  find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96  I used to use Excel and the formula worked fine in that. Here is my Formula
    =(average(small(H201:H220,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    This formula worked in Excel and when I converted my spreadsheet over to Numbers, this formula no longer works.
    The best that I have been able to do so far is use small in 10 different cells, then get the average of the 10 cells and finally multiply that average by .96  So instead of using 1 cell, I'm using 12 cells to get my answer.
    This is a formula that I will be using all the time. The next cell would be =(average(small(H202:H221,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    Hoping I explain myself well enough and that someone can help me.
    Thanks

    You can still do it in one cell but it will be more unruly than the Excel array formula.
    =average(small(H201:H220,1),small(H201:H220,2),small(H201:H220,3),...,small(H201:H220,10))*0.96
    where you would, of course, replace the "..." with the remaining six SMALL functions.
