Facetime calls from iphone 4s to mac
I can call my phone from my mac but i can not call my mac from my phone. The mac will ring once then it will show busy. Is there a setting to increase the number of rings?
Try: Open Facetime app on Mac > Preferences > turn facetime off and on again
If this doesn't help, use Disk Utility to repair permissions and verify your hard disk.

Facetime calling from iphone to itouch
is there any service charge to use facetym from iphone to ipodtouch using my number not an email address??? tnx
Welcome to the Discussions chochoi
To answer your question regarding service charges to use FaceTime on the iPhone to make a FT call to an iPod touch 4gen. If you go into contacts then select the person you wish to FaceTime with, at the info page there is all the contacts details and at the button there is a button named FaceTime. If you click on that you should be charged as you are not using the cell provider.
But if you are unsure of doing this go into the settings of the iPhone and turn off the cell connection and try the FaceTime call out over wifi only without worrying about any chargers from the Cell network.
Hope this helps you. -
I just want to know if the call gets registered on the bill when making a FaceTime call from iphone to iphone using the email.
No, it doesn't get registered as a call as it functions simply as data through Wi-Fi

FaceTime call to iPhone # - Yosemite stuck on "Connecting"
FaceTime call to iPhone #.
When I try to answer on Mac mini w/ 10.10, it gets stuck on “Connecting” and will not connect. I can accept it on my iPhone.Howdy Chris,
Thanks for all the help you’ve provided over the years!
If you haven’t already, try running through the general troubleshooting suggestions in the article below. There’s a few tips in the article that may help you resolve the issue receiving FaceTime calls on your Mac mini.
FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
Troubleshooting FaceTime for Mac
You can make FaceTime calls using the FaceTime app. You can call FaceTime users whose contact information is in Contacts. You can add contacts and edit contact information in either FaceTime or Contacts. To place a video call, you may use a phone number or email address.
If you encounter issues making or receiving FaceTime calls, try the following:
Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences.
If the issue persists, or if you see the message "Waiting for Activation", try toggling FaceTime off and then on.
Verify that the Date, Time, and Time Zone are set correctly:
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences > Date & Time > Date & Time.
Enable "Set Automatically".
Click the Time Zone tab and confirm the closest city is correct.
Verify that both parties are connected to an active broadband Internet connection.
See Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection.
Consult Using FaceTime behind a firewall for necessary ports to open in firewalls, security software and routers.
If you encounter issues using a Wi-Fi network, use standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting to resolve interference and other issues.
Verify the phone number or email address being used is the correct one activated for FaceTime.
You can verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
Verify that both parties have installed the latest software updates for their Mac and/or device. See:
Mac OS X: Updating your software
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

What is the name of the app that I can use to make free calls from iPhone to iPhone ?
You mean Whatsapp messanger?
WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform mobile messaging app which allows you to exchange messages without having to pay for SMS.
NO calls.
FaceTime, Skype and Viber are the most popular. (at least here in Greece) -

Facetime call from a contact but connected to another random stanger.
Hi there, I'm using an iPhone 5S. Recently I received a few facetime calls from one of my contact, but it turned out to be the same random stranger from another part of the world! Anyone facing the same problem?
Check to see if you have an old phone number associated with this person in your address book. When you call someone on Facetime it calls ALL numbers/emails associated with that persons contact sheet! This was my problem, this stranger has my husband's old phone number!

Why cant i make a FaceTime call from iMessage on the iPad
why cant i make a FaceTime call from iMessage on the iPad
Because you make a FaceTime call from FaceTime on the iPad.
On a Mac, you can start and iChat conversation from the Messages app and maybe that is what you are talking about. iChat can still be used in Mountain Lion in order to have a face to face conversation with other Mac users that are not running ML and therefore do not have FaceTime. -
FaceTime calls from strangers?
I'm getting FaceTime calls from strange numbers with the 239 area code. I just received my iPad a few days ago and it's happened 4 times from 2 numbers. Is anybody else seeing this?
I am not. Sounds cool/creepy. Did you answer them? The reason I ask is because I wonder if they are really facetime calls or are somehow getting mixed up with phone calls (assuming they also happen on an iphone). Since it's your iPad, someone very well may have just called up your email address (since that's what it uses to identify you) to see if you had facetime. (no idea why anyone would do that.)

Voice Memos- How to move from iphone 3GS to Mac?
Okay. How do I move a voice memo from my iPhone 3GS to my Mac? All software and hardware is current. All I want to do is move voice memos from iPhone to my Mac. Memos are 30 minutes plus and cannot email from iphone. So I want to move to my Mac and email if I want. How to? thanks! rr
Syncing Voice Memos
iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes. -
When i make call from iphone,loudspeaker is being enabled automatically and not able to hear any sound ..
And some time it's worked...OMG.....this very tiny hole located next to the headset jack........I suffered for the same issue around 20 days after purchasing my iPhone 4S. Even I visit the apple store too, they suggested to talk with apple online.....just before going to apple, i was reading "iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802) and at the very first line, i found "Make sure that nothing is blocking the top microphone (located next to the headset jack)." and this located next to the headset jack solved the problem completely for sound in vidio as well as sound with calling speaker phone.....Actually, I purchased a plastic cover (like screen protector type) that blocked this small hole (microphone hole i think) and the problem was because of this...I remember on the first day i talk with speacker phone (nothing on iPhone at that time) and it was working...
No need to restore or hard reset anything...i was fearing i'll lost everything if I hard reset my iPhone that took 5-10 to build my iPhone as I like apps, music, vidio on it.... -
