Face time from mac to iphone

I have the same email for my iphone that i use on my mac at home, when i call my iphone from my mac or vice versa it will ring initially and then go busy...
Does this have something to do with having the same email in the profile for contacts, i wouldn't think it would matter, because i use the email for my home computer when i call using facetime from the iphone, and when i call the iphone from my mac i use the mobile cell #
Can anyone shed any light on this?

My understanding is that you do need an individual e-mail id for each device if you wish to communicate between them, even though you are using a phone number for calling the iphone.  It's like dialing your own phone number when you make a call from your landline phone - you get a busy signal.  I suppose the Facetime system just doesn't discriminate properly if both devices are carrying the same e-mail ID.
I usually suggest that Facetime users generate e-mail addresses with one of the popular providers, such as Yahoo or Gmail, to cover the individual devices they use on Facetime.

  • IPhone changing times from Mac to IPhone

    When I sync my iphone, the appointments that I add to the iphone are changed by one hour. Please help me so I can make it places on time.

    Double check the time zone settings of your phone and of your mac. Its likely that one of the two is set wrong.
    Also try toggling your Time Zone support setting.

  • Face time from ipad to iphone

    My wife is trying to call me on my 4S via facetime. The problem is my cell phone number is the one it's using, so it doesn't work. Can we change the phone number? Or is there a way from me to call her iPad? Just realized too that I am running the new ios 7 on my iphone and she is not. Trouble?

    Hi,
    You say your wife is trying to call you on your 4S via FaceTime, but what is she using to contact you? An iPad, iPhone?

  • Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi.  Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact.  WiFi signal strong on both devices.  What gives?

    Is the router to small?
    Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
    Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

    Where did the photos on the iPhone come from? What is in Camera Roll on the iPhone?
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad and iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • TS4268 Can I have face time from my iPhone to my iPad?

    Hello with ios5 I had face time from my iPhone to my iPad but now with ios6 I can't.can anybody help me

    If the apps are compatible with the iPad (e.g. iOS version and they don't require full phone capability) then as long as they are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • I live in the UAE and i dont have the face time app on my iphone 5 and it's not showing in the settings list as well only face time mentioned in the notification center , my friends in the same area are using face time normally any advice?

    Doesn't matter.  That store is likely selling illegit iphones, brought oin from somewhere else.
    The fact remains the UAE government does not allow Facetime on iphones legitimately sold there.

  • Face time freezes Mac mini

    During a face time chat between my iPhone 4 and my friends mac mini (using a logitech usb camera), I switched to the front facing camera and the video froze for both of us. We still had audio. The mini was frozen, couldn't quit or force quit and had to do a hard shutdown with power button. We called again and everything was fine until I tried to switch to the front facing camera. Instantly the same thing happened, requiring a hard shutdown on the mini. Is this a bug? Anyone else have this problem?
    Is there a way to report this to Apple?
    Thanks, Tom

    "FaceTime
    Video calls require a built-in FaceTime camera, an iSight camera (built in or external), a USB video class (UVC) camera, or a FireWire DV camcorder; and a 128-Kbps upstream and downstream Internet connection. Making HD video calls requires a built-in FaceTime HD camera and a 1-Mbps upstream and downstream Internet connection. Receiving HD video calls requires a supported Intel-based Mac."

  • HT4534 how secure is face time on mac

    How secure is face time on Mac. I have confidential conversations and I need security.

    FaceTime is HIPAA compliant and encrypted as long as the wireless network being used utilizes WPA2 Enterprise security with 128-bit AES encryption. FaceTime conversation stream is encrypted from end to end, and each FaceTime session has unique session keys for each user.

  • Face time over iPad and iPhone

    Hello all,
    I have a question about face time over iPad and iPhone.
    I have iPhone4S with ios6 and have unlimited data plan from Verizon in US.
    My friend, who has new iPad NOT iphone with iOS6 and currently lives in UK.
    Since iOS6 provides FaceTime over 3G/4G, do I get charged if I make a face time call with my 3G network?
    I know that I don't need to pay if I use wifi. I also believe that my friend won't get charged since his iPad only works through wifi.
    Any information will be much appreciated.

    One more thing to consider if you're using your iPhone to FaceTime to your friend in the UK:
    Sometimes, the iPhone will make the initial FaceTime contact as a telephone call, then switch to FaceTime.  So if you use Verizon (as opposed to WiFi) from your iPhone, you might get charged for a brief phone call to the UK.
