Hey canozkurt,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with Continuity and Handoff. For help, check out this resource:

Also, please not that SMS requires an iPhone with iOS 8.1 which should debut later today.
Thanks,

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.

Can't make video calls from macbook air to iPad2

I'm trying to do video calls from my Macbook Air to my sister's iPad2. I am living in the Philippines and my sister is from Australia.
Is there any issues about its location? I tried to find a solution in Google then I found out we should change the dns server to 8.8.8.8, but unfortunately its not working at all.
Any advise?
Thanks

You're welcome.
Assuming your sister's iPad is connected to an available wi-fi network as well, has she had problems doing a FaceTime call with anyone else in Australia or elsewhere?

I get an error message "iPhone is already on a call" when making phone calls from Macbook Air. What can I do to fix this problem?

I have followed the instructions exactly according to Apple for making phone calls from my Macbook Air. Im signed in to iCloud on both devices. Im on the same wifi network. Wifi calls is turned off on my iPhone. Any suggestions?

Howdy jcannon130,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your Mac believes you iPhone is still on a call while trying to make a call from your Mac, please first reset your iPhone, and then verify you have the settings configured correctly on your Mac and iPhone.

What do you mean by "Off mode"? Do you mean the phone is turned "off"? If so, you can't do anything with any iPhone, other than look at it, if it's turned off. Off on an iPhone is off...nothing works.

I changed my phone number and now I cannot send iMessages or make calls on FaceTime (only receive) on my macbook. Currently my iMessage settings say I can be reached at my apple id email. My FaceTime currently says I can be reached at my apple id email.

Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.

Having installed thunderbird, and subsequently disinstalled, Safari cannot find Mail.app anymore. This is rather annoying, since I cannot send links or web contents anymore from winthin Safari. Is there any way to reinstall Safari or make Mail visible?

HT201407 My iPhone from SPRINT cannot send SMS and 3G when Outside US

Subject: My iPhone from SPRINT cannot send SMS and 3G when Outside US
I buy a Sprint iPhone in the U.S. price No-Contract (Full Price -> 649 + taxes)
I asked the seller that uses outside of the United States ? The seller confirmed using ok
I am unable to use the message SMS and 3G at VIET NAM with carrier VN MOBIFONE
I am is not activated is FaceTime anh IMessage with phone number +84906646492
Use the normal Voice, 3G, iMessage, Facetime when using APPLE ID
Model : MD667LL/A
Serial Number : F17JF5VCF8GM
IMEI / MEID : 99000226901335

Well yes, you probably will have problems with your phone because a 'contract free' phone is NOT the same as a fully unlocked iPhone.
This is a user forum, so nobody here can really help you. As Sprint is your carrier in the US, then you need to contact them first. They are the only ones who can help you.

Cannot SEND SMS messages on 8130

Here's my story:
1. I upgraded to a Blackberry Pearl 8130 in pink earlier this year. My carrier is Verizon.
2. Recently (say a month ago), a friend sent a text message to me from her new phone. I attempted to text her back, but received a big fat red X indicating that my message did not go through. Specifically, when I open my message, the error says, "Mobile equipment status failed."
3. I went to Verizon. They did something where I think they took me off the network and then put me back on. This did nothing. She wanted to do a hard set on the phone, but I had not backed up my data yet.
4. I went home and backed up my data and went back to Verizone about a week later. I spend over an hour in the store. The gentleman that was helping me was on the phone with someone (presumably technical support) to no avail. He was ready to order me a replacement phone, but after further discussion with tech support, they thought there was an issue with the network, not my phone. I went home with a case number.
5. The very next day Verizon called me. They indicated that it wasn't a network issue and that it was my phone. They were going to send me a replacement.
6. I received my replacement phone a couple of days later. I was anxious to get it set up, but the results have been the same. I have not yet returned to Verizon. I thought I'd try here first to see if anyone had any ideas.
The bottom line:
I CAN send/receive e-mails.
I CAN send a MMS message.
I CAN receive SMS messages.
I CANNOT send SMS messages.
Thank you for any advice you may have.

Solved!

Two months later and I finally ..yes FINALLY figured out the SMS issue I previously mentioned on my own out of sheer frustration. I have a Pearl 8130. First ..thanks to everyone for the previous suggestions for resolution here on this board, Google and other areas I've searched many times over however ..none of the suggetions or options worked ..ie, battery pull, *228, calling Alltel tech support many times, going to the Alltel store etc.. you name it I tried it. Guess what? And this is for anyone else who may have had the same problem.. sad to say it was a very simple change in the settings that resolved the "X SMS error 0, Message ID 99" response on every single text (sms) I tried to send.
1.) Click the Call Log icon
2.) Select the menu button (immediate right of the track ball)
3.) Select Options - this will give you a list that begins with "General Options" ..etc
From this list..
4.) Select Smart Dialing
From here you will see an option for "Use "1" for National Dialing"
If it on the default setting of "no" change it to "yes"
Save your selection as normal and you should be good to go.
The funny thing in all of this ..I was recently in Southern California (I live in Arizona) and while there I had absolutely no trouble whatsoever sending or receiving. Upon my return to AZ the problem resurfaced and I have to admit that after 7yrs with Alltel (soon to be Verizon) I am truly disappointed with tech support for the very first time. A simple default setting needed to be changed ~sigh~
Hope this works for anyone else who is having issues ..specifically Alltel/Verizon.

Who can tell me whether I can make a call from MAC if iPhone 5s doesn't support FaceTime ?

MBP is OS X yasmite, and iphone 5s is 8.1, but iPhone 5s was bought in UAE, does not support FaceTime,
it means I cannot make a call from my MBP, right?

Wrong. The setting is not on the iPhone and whether it has Facetime or not is irrelevant because the iPhone does nothing really. it should be on the computer however.
On your Mac, open the FaceTime app, then go to Preferences under FaceTime, and tap Settings. Make sure the iPhone Cellular Calls option is switched on.
With that on, make sure both the Mac and the iPhone or on the same Wifi network. and both are signed in with the same Apple ID to iCloud.
Then it should work.

How to make a call from a Web page

How can I make a call from a number on a Web page ?
If I select the number, I can only copy it ... then I cannot cut and paste into the phone dialing section ???
I thought that by selecting the number on the Web page and holding it this would trigger the dialing ... like I used to do with my 9900 Bold BB.

Are you holding the number or just pressing it quickly? Holding anything will produce a menu whose options would include cut & paste but just pressing the number should activate an action, in this case dialing the number.
Try just pressing the number with a normal press and not holding it and post back with your results.
- If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

How Can I make redirect caller from agent to any branch IVR?

I have IPCC Enterprise Edition (ICM 5.0, IVR 3.1)
How can I make redirect caller from agent to chosen branch IVR, and send with call any variable to IVR (e.g. account number).
Regards
Krzysztof

I would suggest that post-routing should not be used. The way to go is to use translation routing applications. Although post-routing is easy to set up, almost all deployments require translation routing. I can't think of anything good to say about post routing, other than it's trivial to configure.
You want the main route point to be on the CM_PIM.RC for a number of reasons. You can check to see which of your IVRs are on line, and/or to do load balancing. If calls don't need to go to the IVR if agents are ready, you can have an LAA Select node immediately, and then translation route. Even if you just have one IVR, translation routing will enable you to do RONA more easily.
You need to bite the bullet and learn translation routing. If you do it that way, peripheral variables attached to the call remain unaffected whether the call is under the control of the CM_PIM.RC or the IVR_PIM.RC. This is exactly what you want.
There is no need, in my opinion, to go to an external database. In your IVR, decisions made by the caller (e.g. which "skill" they want) set peripheral variables. When the call comes out of this script you check the peripheral variable, and depending on the value do a queue to the appropriate skill group and run external script (BasicQ.aef).
Separate the intelligence gathering IVR script from the Queuing script. Allow ICM to make the routing decisions.

Cannot send SMS with iPhone 5

Hi I have purchased a iPhone 5 from Hong Kong and I am using it in china. All works well except that I cannot send SMS (still can receive them)... I have contacted the apple support but I have no solution till now. I also asked China Unicom for help but they cannot find the problem... More over the activation of message and FaceTime doesn't : I can use iMessage and FaceTime but on settings the activation doesn't work. Did anyone have similar problem and was anyone able to find the good solution ?

Hello, I also have the same problem. My iPhone 5 is a from Hong Kong too! My iMessage doesn't work as well as FaceTime also. It keeps saying waiting for activation. I use china unicom too, tried contacting them but they couldn't solve the issue. But it many cases when I change my SIM card or insert mine to another phone , it suddenly activates. This is really frustrating because I can't check my credit balance at all or send urgent messages to people.
Anyone with a good suggestion?
