FaceTime will not ring on my Mac, but will on every other device

For some reason about a week ago, my Mac stopped ringing for FaceTime.  FaceTime will ring on every other apple device in the house, but not my Mac.  I've tried every setting change that seems logical, and nothing works.  I see from the forums that lots of other people have this same problem.  Can someone help?  Thanks.

It isn't that I can't hear it.  It just won't register that a FT call is coming in.
However, one thing I did do and NOW everything seems to be ok, is a)  log off iMessage and FaceTime from all your OS X and iOS devices, and then b) re-log in to them.  It resets something on the server end. 
(A friend who had iMessage/Messages syncing issues was told to do this and it helped him.)
This seems to have solved my issue.

  • Why my brand new iphone 4 will not ring on a call but will play any other sounds?

    When I play music, movies or ckeck the ringtones an other alerts, it sounds.  But it will not sound when receiving calls.  Please, help

    Check the switch above the volume buttons, red is silent mode, if it isn't red you should hear it ring.

  • Mac Mini will not send iMessages to anyone but apple users all other devices will

    I have a new mac mini and it will not send iMessages to people that do not have apple devices.  All my other apple devices will send to people on these devices.  The mac mini says that the users are not registered with iMessages.  My Macbook Pro has no problem.  Any suggestions?

    Hello IslandBoy2671,
    Is your MacBook Pro sending the SMS messages through your iPhone?
    That is the protocol others are probably using.
    Messages (Yosemite): Get and send SMS messages
    To make and receive SMS and MMS messages on your Mac, you need an iPhone with iOS 8 that’s signed into iMessage with the same Apple ID.
    To send an SMS message, enter a contact or a person’s phone number, enter your text, then press Return.
    Your SMS and MMS messages appear on your Mac automatically.
    Take care,

  • My MacBook will not connect to the Internet, but all of my other devices connect perfectly.

    I have a MacBook and it will not connect to the Internet. It connects to wifi, but then when I open Safari, the page does not load. I have tried forgetting the wifi network, deleting keychain passwords, and restarting the computer, but nothing has worked. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

  • Rumor confirmed:  CS4 will remain 32-bit for Mac, but will be 64-bit in Windows

    Photoshop, Lightroom, and Adobe's 64-bit roadmap
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/
    CS4 will remain 32-bit for Mac, but will be 64-bit in Windows.

    i For the most part, it seems like most of us in prepress/photography/creative are fine with our Macs with 4 to 8 or 16 gb of memory installed. A 64 bit app isn't going to change MY life or how I work.
    Well it may do, considering the roof is well below the ram capacity and the OS has to do the hard work.
    "In our testing, when an app isn't using a large data set (one that would otherwise require memory swapping), the speedup due to running in 64-bit mode is around 8-12%."
    Look to when that actually starts happening...its not where your ram roof is.
    Probably a cross grade here...we've been running 64 bit with 3d for a while now, and shifting that roof has allowed much more heavy scene data to be created easily.
    Read the article, it's not just PS that's affected...there may be limited scope for the need in AI, but AE would see the light.
    Put it this way, we can see the advantages...and obviously adobe can...they just havent been capable of applying that to the apple yet.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

    HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.  I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
    I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else. 
    Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer.  After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.  
    My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
    OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
    HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
    HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
    All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
    I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router).  All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues:  2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
    The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
    I have run virus scans and malware scans.  Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop.  What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer.  ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium.  Now I will probably get hacked!
    I am at my wits end.  And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up.  I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed.  Also this is a time consumer.
    This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
    Help?
    Addendum:  I can scan using HP Printer Assistance.  I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.
    This question was solved.

  • I have just updated the i06 software for my ipad and it will not connect to my home wifi network - all my other devices are able to connect - i have tried all troubleshooting options and none have worked - please help

    I have just updated the i06 software for my iPad and it will not connect to my home wifi network - all my other devices are able to connect to my wifi network.
    I have attempted all troubleshooting actions suggested and nothing has worked. I have restored my iPad network and factory settings - Please help - this is frustrating me

    you have to set up your router to solve th problem. first find and write down the ipad mac address.
    then log on to your router using your laptop or any device that can connect to router at 192.168.0.1 in your web browser. please check out my posting about how to resolve the wifi connection problem.
    i think the ios6 update has reset the networking but if you set up the router then you should not have the same problem any more.

  • My mail will not let me send emails but will let me receive.. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Please help, tried everything to fix this

    This is an Ongoing problem with the built in Mac Mail program. Almost everyday there is at least one post, if not 10 posts, about the same thing on these forums.
    Most Mac Fan Boys will respond with "It must be your ISP has changed settings". But every other device you have, Phone, Pad, other computers, whether Mac or PC, have NO problems getting and sending mail with those exact same settings as used in Mac Mail and that Mac Mail worked a few hours ago or yesterday and now it doesn't.
    I suggest you switch to some other Mail program, Any other Mail program, and this type of problem will never happen again.

  • My iMac will not boot through Snow Leopard but will boot through Windows OS

    My 2010 iMac will not boot in Snow Leopard, only Windows. Have tried reinstalling Snow leopard a few times and works only for a couple of minutes before freezing and doesnt reboot. Windows works perfect. Snow leopard just doesnt want to boot up past the Apple Logo. It was working fine one day and the next day it froze up and was able to reboot back into Snow Leopard but kept freezing. Now it doesnt load at all into Mac OS.

    Possible scenarios:
    1: The 10.6.3 SL retail disk is bad, it happens.
    2: Your not using the 10.6.3 SL retail disk but one from another machine which doesn't have the drivers for that machine.
    3: Your optical drive is funky or some other hardware issues.
    4: Your trying to install 10.6 onto a PowerPC based Mac, no can do.
    5: Your not using a wired keyboard for boot key commands, have some other hardware conflicts.
    Possible solutions.
    1: Copy the SL 10.6.3 disk using Disk Utility to another DVD, the error checking may resolve the original disk's issue.
    http://www.brokenhomeboy.co.uk/pierow/blog/2011/10/make-a-bootable-backup-snow-l eopard-install-disc/
    2: Make a SL bootable USB
    http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html
    3: Call Apple for a new 10.6.3 disk (and make copies for backup before Apple discontinues selling it)
    If your upgrading to 10.6 to get to 10.6.8 to upgrade to 10.7, be warned of this:
    1: Your 10.5 software will not work in 10.7, no more Rosetta or PPC based code.
    2: Your hardware will not qualify if it's a 32 bit Intel Core Duo, also you may experience slowdowns in performance over 10.6 (10.6 is the fastest OS X version for Intel Macs) in older Intel hardware (I suggest Early 2011 Mac's and later only for Lion)
    3: Mountain Lion 10.8 is reportingly coming out this summer and will not run on a lot of older Intel based Mac's because of heftier graphics requirements.
    4: 10.6 has the widest range of current avaialble software and drivers for third party hardware.
    My advice, stick with 10.6.8 and stay there, buy a new Mountain Lion machine after this summer. Skip Lion completely.

  • Hard drive will not mount with 10.4 but will mount with 10.3

    I have a G4 powerbook running on 10.4.11. There is a western digital my book external drive hooked up to the USB port. I have two partitions on it. I tried to change the group settings to read write and got an error saying I did not have permission. Now the first partition will mount, but the second which I tried to change will not mount.
    Disk utility sees the drive but it is grayed out. DiskWarrior sees the drive.
    I dragged out my old G3 running 10.3.9 and plugged it in. Works great. The disk drive partition mounts and all of the files are there. What do I need to do to get 10.4.11 to mount the disk partition?
    The external drive is a Western Digital My Book 250G divided equally into two partitions. The partitions are in Mac extended format.

    I'm having pretty much the same problem... Have a WD 500 GB external attached via USB. I can't say for sure that the WD caused this (wasn't paying close enough attention), but I've noticed that my own MacBook HD is no longer mounted. I can't seem to find anyway to accomplish this either. I've booted from another volume to run Disk Utility (repair/verify). I rebooted with the MacBook startup drive and still, no HD. And NOW I can't see the bootable partition I made on the WD external. What?
    I feel like the opposite of a nerd, cuz I'm just scratching my head at this point. Oh yeah, and running 10.4.11...

  • My MacBook Pro will connect to WiFi but will not work in one location but will at others. I have the same issue with my IPhone 4S at the same location.

    My MacBook Pro will connect to Wifi at one location (this is a secure location) but will not allow access to the internet.  I will put in the password but will not display page.  Other wifi capable devises do not have this issue but my Mac and my Iphone 4S will not work.  I have tried restarting the router.  All other wifi locations I have been to have not had this issue.  Any suggestions? I am realtively new to Apple products (less than a year) so any advise is greatly appreciated.

    The other devices that are working got on with the same password.  It says it is connected.  Just nothing works on the internet.

  • My laptop died last night and the date and time was set for 1/1/2000. I went to change the date and time and cannot. For some reason when i pull up system preferences it will not load date and time but will load other stuff. Please help.

    Last night my laptop died and the time and date was reset. I cannot acess date and time preferences to change it and my laptop is acting really weird. My CD drive is broken so there are no options to put in a cd. Please someone help i need my laptop for school and cannot afford another.

    Many system actions will misbehave, given an inaccurate date. Resetting the NVRAM and / or SMC will not fix it, and if the system has a preposterous date you may not be able to open System Preferences to correct it. This dilemma may or may not be addressed in a future OS X update.
    If you cannot open System Preferences you can reset your system date and time using Terminal.
    Please read everything that follows before proceeding. Write them down if necessary because the effects of setting a preposterous system date are unpredictable.
    Quit System Preferences, force quit if necessary: OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
    Open Terminal - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
    You can find Terminal by using the Finder's Go menu and choosing Utilities, then double-click the Terminal icon.
    At the prompt, you will be typing a command resembling the following:
    sudo date mmddhhnnyyyy
    ... but you must substitute the actual date and time in the command that corresponds to the date format used for your location. In other words if your custom is to use a date like 8 February 2014 then reverse the mm and dd values.
    Substitute numerals in the above command according to the following:
    mm = month
    dd = date
    hh = hour (24 hour format)
    nn = minutes past the hour
    yyyy = year
    Each of those values must be two digits except for the year which can be two or four digits. As an example if the current date and time is February 8, 2014 at 9 PM your command will be the following:
    sudo date 020821002014
    or
    sudo date 0208210014
    Either one will work. If you enter nonsensical values the system will attempt to parse the entry correctly.
    To recover from your inability to use System Preferences to set the date and time, the value entered does not have to be precise, it just has to be approximate.
    Enter that command using the actual time and date for your location and in the appropriate format, then press the Return key. Terminal will ask for your Admin Password - the same one you use when you log in to your Mac. Type it and then press the Return key. What you type will not appear, not even with •••• characters.
    To determine if your change was effective just type the date command and press the Return key. Terminal will reply with the date and time. If it appears correct and in the correct format, you should be able to open System Preferences > Date & Time once again. Selecting the "Set time and date automatically" and choosing an appropriate time server will adjust your Mac's system clock to the precise time.

  • TS2755 Iphone 4s on iso7 will not send text msg overseas but will recieve

    Iphone 4s will not text overseas mobile but will receive from same contact.

    So I should update this. The phone actually loses service, I have reset the network connection as well as I have updated the carrier settings and the phone is still losing service randomly. I called the carrier and they told me there is nothhing they can do unless we bring the phone in, they believe it could be the sim card because everything on their end looks to be fine. So I'll be going to the carrier store this evening to see if they can fix the problem if not then I will be going to the apple store. Do hope this problem gets fixed soon.
