Change iPhone number for outgoing calls from mac (Yosemite)

I have two iPhones, and one of the iPhone is set for iPhone cellular calls (handoff) in macbook under FaceTime preference. How to change this number so that I can make outgoing calls from different iPhone?

Hi,
If you Erased the Drive and set up the computer anew it will depend on how you migrated/imported your Mac User Account (if you even did).
Mostly the process will make the Mac seen as a "New" computer.
In some cases this will means settings that involve some sort of "pairing" will not work.
You may also get to the point of having 5 "devices" linked to iTunes because of this.
I have G4 that is coming up on 121 years old.
It has 4 drive bays and some of the drives are partitioned.
It will boot into OS 9 and every version of OS X up to and including Leopard (OS X 10.5)
I have tended to Clone the current set up and then Update the main Drive.
It does mean though that iTunes counts them all individually.
On top of that I have a Snow Leopard MacBook Pro and my current Yosemite booted iMac (It also has Older OSes on External Drives)
The outcome is that you might have to re-link the two devices.

Can't make phone calls from mac Yosemite with iphone6

I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) and using iphone6 with IOS 8.1
1) I am on the same wifi and subnet
2) signed in on the same Apple ID both on Mac, Mac FaceTime, iphon6 and iphone6 FaceTime
3) enabled Cellular calls on iPhone and from mac
4) Handoff turned on, on both devices
5) Restarted everything more than twice
6) firewall allows connections
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.

Outgoing calls from Mac don't work

Hi folks,
handoff is working so far. I can receive incoming calls on my Mac. But I am not able to make calls from my Mac. It is starting but everytime it quits with an error and I am able to retry or quit but retry don't work either.
I have checked all settings, logged-out and -in to iCloud but nothing works.
Any hints?
Steve

What i did and it fixed the problem after i checked that both mac and iPhone are on the same network and have the same iCloud account and the phone number is mentioned on mac also. I just viewed the iCloud account from the FaceTime on iPhone and then everything work perfectly.

How do you change home city for outgoing calls

I am trying to figure out how to change my the city that displays on the other phone when I make an outgoing call. Any way to change this?

No, it's not possible to change that, at least not without changing your phone number. The other person's phone is getting information from the network based on your area code and exchange (or whatever they're called where you live).

Can't place iPhone call from Mac (can receive calls though)

-MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) with Yosemite (10.10)
-iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1
Both use same iCloud account and same FaceTime account. Both have 'iPhone Cellular Calls' enabled under FaceTime settings.
I cannot place an outgoing call from my Mac. I've been getting an error 'iPhone Calls Not Available. Your iPhone must use the same iCloud and FaceTime account' but it does indeed..
I tried to reboot both devices, signed out/in iCloud, played with the toggle-switches - still nothing. Though when I am receiving an incoming call on iPhone - I can take it on Mac.
The only idea I have - my cellular provider is not supported by Apple FaceTime server so I've been using only AppleID to place FaceTime calls (no phone number used) and it's been working fine up to now. But if you go into FaceTime settings of my iPhone you see 'Activation unsuccessful.'
Can anyone confirm if you can place calls from Mac with having FaceTime activated only by AppleID (no cellular phone number) on your iPhone?
Thanks.

I was able to get it worked after enabling iMessage/FaceTime with my phone number. This issue made me to find out a way to do that -)
In case you are with WIND (Canada) here is the solution to activate FaceTime:

How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

Moving the iOS device backup location
Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

Actually I have found one more input into this. My wifi network supports 802.11b+g+n and not 802.11ac.
Could this be the possible problem ?

I can't make outgoing calls from my Iphone 3GS. I am using Vodafone as my Carrier

I can't make outgoing calls from my Iphone 3GS. I am using Vodafone as my Carrier

I would but I work on a remote mine site, closest apple store 2 hour flight away. Hence the reason I'm asking here

I set up my iPhone through iCloud but assigned the wrong cell number to it so I am getting messages that don't belong to me but rather to my husband as I entered his cell number in there - how do I change that number to stop this from happening??

Also, if you are sharing an Apple ID, you will get his iMessages.

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.

Option to disable the "slide to call" feature for missed calls from lock screen

I realized that when the iphone (running iOS5) is locked, the“Slide to Call” allows anyone to make an outgoing call to the missed calls from a locked phone (with passcode). This may allow malicious and unwanted calls to be made from a locked phone by anyone having access to the phone and defeats the purpose of having the phone locked by a passcode.
Don't get me wrong, it is nice feature for people who don't care about locking their phone, but I believe there should be an option to disable the “slide to call” or at least require password before allowing the outgoing call to go through.
At this point the only option that I see is to disable the phone related notifications from lock screen, which prevents all phone related notifications to be displayed on lock screen (missed or voicemail). This is not a desired solution.....
This is the first time in the history of iOSes, that a user can make outgoing calls from a locked phone with a passcode. Even the voice commands (for dialling a number) have option to be disabled on locked screen.
I was wondering if anybody else feels the same way about this? or have a solution?

I share the same feeling with you about this issue.
Actually I was very surprised when I discovered that!
In addition to this, when you actually slide a missed call, it calls the person and when you end the call, the notification of the missed call is still present! So that person can be called again and again and again.
This is a serious issue that Apple has overlooked!
Please secure the iOS 5.
Thanks.

I am not able to make outgoing call from my Nokia ...

Hi,
Today I observed one weird thing, I am not able to make any outgoing call from my Nokia C7 with Vodafone Sim inside it. After sometime I put some other card and It started working fine. I thought the problem is with Sim hence I put my Vodafone Sim in other phone and It also worked fine.
Whenever I am trying to make call from Nokia C7 with old Vodafone Sim it gives error "NO ANSWER".
But I dont understand that why Nokia C7 is not working with Vodafone Sim which was inside it since I purchased the phone.
Please help as Vodafone customer care has nothing to do as Sim is working fine with other phones.
Regards,
Firoz Shaikh

Calling from Mac

I love Yosemite's new feature allowing me to take calls from my iPhone with my Mac. However the one major problem I keep running into is when I need to use the dialpad to deal with an electronic menu. For the most part, the phone is usually near me, but here's the problem...when I go to use the dialpad, it transfers the call to my phone. There doesn't seem to be any way to set it up not to do this. I know there have been some rumblings about an app that includes a dialpad, since there isn't one in Facetime...anyone come up with a workaround?
