Handoff not shown on iPhone

I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 8,02 installed and when I click on General/Settings I do not see Handoff & Suggested Apps,  Is there a defect in the software/hardware.?  Thank you.

Ok, I got it to work, and here's how: First of all, as far as I know, you can only receive and place calls through your computer (needs to be a newer model that supports the new bluetooth standard) if you have an iPhone 4s. The other handoff features don't work with the 4s, you would need a newer phone. Your phone needs to be on the same wifi network as your mac. Also, bluetooth needs to be enabled on both devices and they need to be paired (they don't need to be actively connected to each other, but they need to be paired so they can connect with each other when a call comes in). Your mac and iphone also need to be set-up with the same icloud account. Last step, go to Settings-->FaceTime and enable iPhone Cellular Calls. Also make sure that the apple id facetime uses is the same as your icloud id. That is pretty much it. Worked for me. Let me know if you have any questions.
(BTW, you can place calls through your iphone directly from facetime on your mac, and you can also take incoming calls directly through facetime.

  • Handoff not working to iPhone

    Hi
    Handoff is working from my phone to my laptop but it is not working the other way.
    Has anyone else had this issue
    Thankyou in advance

    Hi, it's first time for me here, just to say that to me handoff does not work. And there is nothing to do, cause I try everything but there must be some kind of trouble in OS X or in IOS. I have read many replies, try everything could find. Restart, initialize, reset, logging out from iCloud both devices (mbp 2014 and iphone 6 plus) then login in again, same result. At the very beginning they work, but when you close, example, safari on mac and after few minutes you have to launch it again, stop.. they cannot see themselves, they don't work again; the same for iphone to mac.
    Even the calls, one is ok, the next not, the another one again ok.
    Needless to say that I have followed all that I have read in this forum too, restore PRAM and other, but it's just like working on Windows: maybe it will works, maybe not. It was long time that I don't know anymore this kind of problems, but now here it is.
    Sure we have to wait for a bug fix, another one, but to iOS or to OS X I don't know..
    I'm really disappointed, this is not Apple. This is another thing. I don't care if it's cool or not, I abandoned the use of windows because of these ****, at the time of leopard when there was an update, for example, everything was smooth from start up, maybe there were fewer things but better made​​.
    I want it that when I turn on the mac for this to work without needing to do anything. It seems too much?

  • Handoff not working between iPhone 5s and macbook pro

    I was using Yosemite Beta and iOS 8. The handoff was working perfectly fine. Now after the Yosemite upgrade it has stopped working. The bluetooth does not pair the devices. In the Network preferences the iPhone shows not connected although it is syncing automatically when i connect the devices. In iTunes the sync over WIFI is also checked.
    Please help

  • Photos on Ipad not shown in Iphone even though ICloud is configured with same settings

    Hello,
    I have some problem getting my pictures synced with iCloud betwene my iPhone4 and iPad2 even though iCloud user account is added in booth devices and latest Device sw are installed.
    How should you do to get this automaticly synch to work.
    User cenario:
    I take a photo with my Iohno but it will not be shown in my iPad photo stream.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Regards
    Daniel Nelson

    Be sure photo stream is turned on on both devices.  On the device with the camera, you must be connected via wifi and the photo app must be shut down, not sleeping.

  • 1 of my 2 simple reports is not shown on Iphone

    Dear Experts,
    I have developed 2 simple reports for Iphone. One of them is shown properly and the other one is only displayed as a grey and blank site. There are no errormessages. The reports don't have any parameters. The preview in SAP BO works fine.
    You can guess my question. What is wrong with the second report? Thanks for any helpful answer.
    Regards Lars

    Dear Lars,
    What are the differences between two reports? You may check tables used, format used etc.
    Thanks,

  • Mac Air Mid 2013 w Yosemite 10.10.1 Handoff not working with iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.1

    I've got a Macbook Air Mid 2013 with Yosemite 10.10.1 and can't get the 2 devices to stay paired via Bluetooth.
    The 2 devices try to pair and after 2-3 sec's they disconnect.
    Both are on the same wireless network and handoff is toggled on.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this handoff working?

  • HT1476 why isn't charging icon shown while iphone is charging?

    Why is my iPhone 4 taking so long to charge up and why is the green charging icon not shown when iPhone is locked.  When unlocked, it shows regular battery icon.

    I've tried plugging into outlets also known as a wall power socket, and using my computer, and using something called and introverter that plugs into the auxillary port in the car.  Right now its on my computer, taken 10 minutes to go up 1%

  • I did a backup from my 3G and want to get the backup now on my iPhone 4, but the backup from the old 3G is not shown as an option to configurate. How do I get the information on my new phone?

    I did a backup from my 3G and want to get the backup now on my iPhone 4, but the backup from the old 3G is not shown as an option to configurate. How do I get the information on my new phone?

    First, back up your old iphone manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your old phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

    How to download apps for free again:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    After that, connect your new phone and let iTunes set it up. iTunes will detect the old 3G backup and ask you, if you want to use it to restore the info on your new iphone. If you agree, all settings and data will be present after the process is finished.
    This is also explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137

    How do I email photos taken on the iphone, without having them embedded in the email? I would like to have them as attachments, not shown in the body of the email.

    @ Philly
    Yes there is,
    When you recieve a mail with an attachement (inline or as a picture) right click (or control click) the attachement and choose "show as symbol" or "show fullsize" (or completely or something like that, I don't work in English version). Mail will take this as a general preference.

  • My MAC is not shown in My Devices in Find My iPhone web

    After installing Lion 10.7.2 I've used the Find My iPhone feature to find my iPhone and my iPad. I've activate in Preferences-iCloud the Find My Mac option but my MAC is not shown in the list of my devices in the web application. Is anything more I have to do in order to this feature work? How can I know if my MAC is in the list but maybe is not possible to locate it? My MAC is connecte to a wifi network.
    Thanks!!

    Mine's the same. I can't locate my Mac Pro, but I can my iPhone and iPad.
    I have "Find my Mac" turned on in preferences, and a picture of it appears on all my devices, and I can send a message to the Pro etc. but it just can't pick up a location.
    I'm baffled.

  • HT4191 I have iphone 5 and the latest iO7.1. Since upgrading to IOS7.1 birthdays added to a contact are not shown in calendar anymore. It use to show automatically before.

    I have iphone 5 and the latest iO7.1. Since upgrading to IOS7.1 birthdays added to a contact are not shown in calendar anymore. It use to show automatically before. Can anyone help?

    Click on calendars at the bottom of the screen. Make sure that birthdays are checked.
    We may think we have 1 calendar, but iPhone puts things in different calendars. Sometimes we can somehow lose one. Well not really lost, but somehow it just gets de-selected. So just make sure that all that you want to see are checked.
    One cool thing I like about this is that they have added US Holidays which didn't used to be there like on most paper calendars. Nice to have them available now!

  • HT204053 I have put new music on my iTunes folder on my apple desktop. I have iTunes Match but the music has not shown up on my iPhone. How do I get my music to get on my phone. My iCloud is on on the desktop and iphone

    I have put new music on my iTunes folder on my apple desktop. I have iTunes Match but the music has not shown up on my iPhone. My iCloud is turned on. All my music initially did go to my iPhone

    Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.  iTunes Match is a different service from iCloud.
