Cannot make Continuity phone calls from Mac OS X Yosemite beta 10.10.3

Hi, I don't remember which beta update it was, but perhaps one or two after the initial beta, Continuity is not working for me any longer. I always receive a "is unavailable" error when trying to make audio calls. I can still send SMS messages from my Mac.  I'm curious if other owners are experiencing typical behavior from this beta version?  I'm running v10.10.3.  Thanks,

Thanks for the reminder.  So in regards to the official version, I solved the problem.  For whatever reason, the “iPhone Cellular Calls" option became unchecked.  This is found under the FaceTime app, go to FaceTime > Preferences and turn on “iPhone Cellular Calls".  Back in business again...

  • How do I make a phone call from my mac with yosemite?

    How do I make a phone call from my MacBook Pro on the Yosemite operating system?

    The following quotation is from Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    There is more information in the link, including supported hardware and that you must have Settings > FaceTime > iPhone Cellular Calls set to on on the iPhone.
    Phone calls
    With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
    To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
    Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
    Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any 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. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
    Make a call
    To make a phone call on your Mac, iPad or iPod touch tap or click a phone number in Contacts, Calendar, or Safari.

    Are you saying that your house has both a home wifi network and your office's wifi network?

    This is the Mac Pro desktop forum so are you lugging the Mac Pro desktop to work?

    4) Handoff turned on, on both devices

    But STILL CANT MAKE CALLS or RECEIVE CALLS FROM MAC..... its says "iPhone Not Available, Your iPhone and Mac must be on the same Wi-Fi network"
    Anyone knows whats going on???

    Call your carrier, my daughter's phone stopped working one Saturday night and it turned out our AT&T account had been hacked by someone somewhere  in the US at a Walmart.  They bought a new phone, upgrading from her phone knocking out her number and sim card.  AT&T told her to go to phone store Sunday morning and they gave her new phone.  We followed through with the theft report.  About a weel later the Visa we pay the phone bill with was attempted to be used at a phone store in Sacremento.
    Anyway, your carrier will restore service if it nots working for any reason.

    Hi Bo S.,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you cannot make an outgoing call using your iPad. Included below are the instructions for using Continuity to make calls from your iPad. If you are set up correctly and still are unable to make a call after following the information in the article, please let me know at what point in the process the failure happens and what happens at that point.

  • IPhone 6 seems to crash when making phone call from Mac

    When using my iPhone 6 Plus to make phone calls from the Macintosh, (initiating call from Mac Contacts app in Yosemite) the iPhone continually brings up the Apple logo and does a quick restart over and over again. The phone call, however seems to work, but it's just that the iPhone looks as if it's going crazy showing the Apple logo and then the home screen over and over again.  This had worked initially, but not anymore. Both iPhone 6 and MacBookPro up to date with updates.

    If you never find an app that will do it then you could have a go at making one yourself-I don't think you need to pay Apple as long as you don't want to sell it.

  • Cannot make or receive calls from macbook air 2013

    i installed OSX Yosemite 2 days ago but i cant figure how to make or receive calls from my computer.
    everytime it gives an error "your phone and computer must be in the same wi-fi connection" which they already are.
    i tried log out and log in again for icloud also re-installing yosemite but no luck.
    any help would be appreciated
    Thanks
    Macbook Air 2013 (Yosemite)
    Iphone 5 (IOS 8.0.2)

    There are many reports like yours. Apparently there are bugs yet to be worked out in Handoff. Make sure you've taken all the steps directed in the support article linked below. If you have, restart the phone and try again. Failing that, you can either contact Apple Support, go to a "Genius Bar," or wait for an update to iOS and/or OS X.

  • Is it possible to make a phone call from contact in Cambodia with Miss Siri ?

    I've got a Iphone 4S which's shiped from Singapore , love it so much . But one thing , i couldn't understand , many thing i can ask Miss siri to do for me exclude make a phone call for contact or any number . I tried to use 10 digits number of my contact , she responsed " Sorry [Myname] , i can't call [contact name]" , and then i tried with 11 digits , she still responsed as previous question .... I'm so doubt that , last time , i tried with my country code : +855 or 855. and then i restarted my iPhone 4S . She still made me angry .......... ....... Anyone please tell me how to use Miss Siri to make a phone call ? ( Note : Location : Cambodia , Phnom Penh City )

    No, the feature works at home by going through your iPhone to make the call.
    There are Apps for the iPad which allow this: Skype, etc.

  • Sound issues making phones calls from Mac

    When making or receiving calls thru continuity on my Mac (27" Late 2013; IOS 8.1 iPhone 5S), the person on the other end says the call sounds like I'm in a tunnel, has some distortion and is at times not clear enough to understand what I'm saying.  I have used the internal microphone on the mac and have also used a "Yeti" external microphone with the same results.  I did try "Face Time" audio as a test and the sound was much improved and satisfactory at the caller's end.  There are no issues with the sound from my end sitting at the computer.

  • How do I make a phone call from iPad?

    I set up my iPhone 5S personal hotspot, then link to it on the iPad (both running iOS 8). I can access the internet from the iPad, but cannot make a FaceTime phone call. Did I misunderstand the Keynote address that this would be possible with iOS 8?

    Joe,
    I hope you can help as I have the same issue.  First the basics: my iPhone 5 and iPad Air both have iOS 8 installed (there are still three family devices on the same apple id/icloud account that are not yet on iOS 8).  Both devices list the same phone number in Messages and FaceTime and both those apps use the same iCloud account.  Both devices are on the same wifi network.
    But when I get a call on my iPhone, the iPad most definitely does not give me the option to respond.  And nothing happens when I try to tap on a contact on the iPad.  :-( :-(
    I went through the links above and note a couple odd things.  For instance, the user guide says:
         "Disable iPhone Cellular Calls.  On your iPhone, go to Settings > FaceTime, then turn off iPhone Cellular Calls"
    When I go to my iPhone's Settings->FaceTime, there is no option to "turn off iPhone Cellular Calls".  What are they talking about?
    In the third link, the instructions for making phone calls have a fourth step:
         4. Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off.
    What does that mean?  Where do I look to make sure it's off?
    As an aside, I'm writing this from my 2010 MBP running Yosemite beta 3 and there appears to be no connection between it and my nearby iPhone either.  My MBP is on the same wifi network as the iPhone and both the Mac's FaceTime and Messages have the same phone # set as on the iPhone.  But when I go into the address book and look up a contact, no "phone" icon/button shows up next to the contact's phone number.  When  a call comes into the iPhone, nothing happens on the mac.

  • MacBookPro Cannot Make/Receive Phone Calls

    Hello,
    My MacBookPro (early 2013 Retina) cannot make or receive phone calls.  I'm on the same wifi network, my bluetooth is on, I can send/receive texts and SMS, I have the most recent software upgrades, but I can't make calls.  As of right now when I try it says "Your iPhone and Mac must be on the same Wi-Fi network".
    The same thing is happening with my iPad.
    In FaceTime under "iPhone Cellular Calls" I've tried to move the slider over to the right to allow calls on MacBookPro and iPad, but it says "Cannot Turn on iPhone Cellular Calls- FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls".  THEY ALL ARE ON THE SAME APPLE ID!!!
    IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!
    I am actually having issues with handoff JUST on my MacBookPro if that is any sort of useful information.  It works just fine on iPhone and iPad.
