Handoff not working for Mail or Messages between iPhone and Mac

I just installed Yosemite on my rMBP and wanted to try out the cool new handoff feature, but unfortunately it's not so cool because it doesn't work.  When I start creating a new message in Mail or Messages I get the handoff icon in the dock on the left side, and when I click it the appropriate application starts and a new message appears, but the contents that I entered into the iPhone are missing.  In fact, the Mail message just says it's "Loading" (with the spinning indicator) forever and I can't use or close that window.
I've tried rebooting both the mac and the iPhone, and tried signing out of iCloud and back in, but no luck.  Any other ideas?  Why doesn't this "just work"?

An update on this.  Mail handoff has started working, although I don't know why.  I'm now able to continue typing on the mac where I left off on the phone.
However, iMessage handoff has stopped working altogether.  The icon sometimes appears in the bottom left of the screen, but when I click it nothing happens.  This is still happening after upgrading to iOS 8.1.

  • FaceTime is still not working for iOS 7 on both iPhones and iPads. Is apple doing anything to fix this week old problem?

    FaceTime has not worked in a week for myself and many friends and family that all have the latest versions on both iPad and iPhone. I have tried all recommended fixes. Is apple doing anything to correct this problem?

    No one knows... Apple has said nothing about the issue.

  • Apple Mail Search and Spotlight do not work for locating email messages after upgrading to Lion 10.8.3.

    Apple Mail Search and Spotlight do not work for locating email messages after upgrading to Lion 10.8.3 on my 27" iMac.
    When searching in Apple Mail, sometimes a get a few results (with many missing), and sometimes no results at all.
    I had absolutely no problems before with Snow Loepard.
    I have reindexed mail and my startup drive. I have followed discussions regarding this matter and tried everything - a waste of time.
    This is VERY serious for me - I have many thousands of messages that I archive and need to reference for work and clients, and now I cannot find them.

    I found out that I needed a $100 mini displayport to dual-link dvi adapter to make my $30" cinema display work with my macbook pro

    When I found out that solved the problem, I took it back because that was too expensive for a stupid adapter, and it still didn't work perfectly.

  • Share bluetooth headset between iPhone and Mac

    Just got a Sennheiser MM100 headset (love it).
    I'd like to use it with both my iPhone and Mac. But if I've paired it with both, I can't seem to control which device will use the headset for audio when I turn it on.
    In other words, I'd like to be able to turn on the headset in the presence of both the Mac and iPhone, and decide which device I want the headset paired with on the fly, without having to pair/unpair the device or deactivate bluetooth on one of the devices.
    Any way to do this?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Any way to do this?
    None that I'm aware of.

  • Handoff not working for iWork apps, but ok with Safari, Mail, etc.

    Handoff is working fine between my iPhone and my rMBP for Safari, Mail, Calendar, Maps, etc. but not working with Pages, Numbers and Keynote. 
    Have updated Pages, Numbers and Keynote to latest versions on both OS X and iOS.
    Any ideas?

    Well handoff is now working fine with Pages, Numbers and KeyNote between rMBP and iPhone 5s. 
    I've not changed anything but did notice that the iOS apps were updated on 6 November to version 2.5.1, so maybe there was a fixed included there.

  • Notification will not work for Mail

    Downloaded Mountain Lion; everything appeared to go well with install. When I first launched Mail, there didn't seem to be any issues (had to convert messages into new format, etc.) However, Notifications for Mail is not working. When a new message is sent, it will not appear as a banner, alert, etc in the corner. I've checked System Preferences to ensure that Notifications for Mail is on; I've also checked Mail Preferences to ensure that new messages are going to the notification center. Any thoughts? Other notifications seem to be working (I think).
    Running on a 15-inch Mid-2009 MacBook Pro, 8 GB RAM, 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

    UPDATE: It does appear that if you send yourself an email (even from another account) and both emails are within Mail, you will not get a notification. It will download in Mail; it will be readable, but there will be no notification from the new notification center.
    All of my other Mail notifications (e.g. emails from other people or accounts) have been coming through with no issues.
    Is this a bug? Or was this intended? We shall see.
    Thanks all for your responses.

  • SMTP not working for Mail. Works on iphone and smartermail.

    So my SMTP server randomly stopped working today. It claims "Cannot send message using the server.. The server "smtp.xxxx.xxx" cannot be contacted on the deafault ports"
    I have tried deleting the SMTP server, quitting mail, reopening mail, re-setting up the server and but haven't had any results.
    I can still send mail on my iphone and I can still send mail using SmarterMail (webmail.xxxx.xxx) using this same smtp address.

    We are having the exact problem with our smtp outgoing mail too for the last couple of days. Each and every time we attempt to send outgoing mail, we get an error that the server is not available. IF we select "try again later," sometimes we will discover that the email doe sin fact get sent...eventually...but not always.
    The problem actually started about a week ago when mail would periodically not send. Now the OSX 10.5.8 mail app shows all of our outgoing servers as being offline. Settings have been double and triple checked, changed to custom port, non-SSl, with SSL, automatic, re-input passwords, rebuilt mailboxes. Nothing so far as worked. Even went to AOL's website and did the image verification as a last resort, but nada.
    We can send using webmail, just not from within the OSX email app. We're thinking about switching over to Entourage that is part of Office 2008, which we have. This can not go on since we rely on email for both work and personal communications.
    As an aside, I'm not sure if I can send email using my ipod touch hooked to wifi...will try to see if problem is replicated there, as in theory it should be.
    WHy doesn't Apple step up and contribute to this discussion? This appears to be a problem that has occurred in the past with updates,t oo.

  • Handoff not working for iWork apps

    I have an iPhone 6, iPad 4, MacBook Pro (2013) and Mac Mini (2012). The iOS devices are running 8.1 and the Mac is running 10.10. I do not have any issues using handoff with Safari, but none of my iWork apps are handing off in either direction. I did have some success getting Keynote a few times handing off from iOS to OS X. Anything that I need to do differently or is it still just buggy?
    Thanks.

    Well handoff is now working fine with Pages, Numbers and KeyNote between rMBP and iPhone 5s.

  • I have problem to connect iChat. Sometime work and some time not working. When it was not working, there was a message on screen and said the mobile be server was not working. I needed to turn off computer and restarted the computer. Then it might. work

    To whom it may help,
           I use my iChat to do video chat with my granddaughter. I used to do iChat without any problem to connect with her in New York. However, After Mobil Me account closed, I accounted connection problems frequently. Sometime, I had to turn-off my computer then re-started the computer to make it work again. . When I had this problem to connect on iChat (the Mac did not allow me to choose "available"), the poped out window message said that " the iChat lost the Mobil Me account [email protected]" "The server connection was unexplected disconnect". Do you know what is my problem? My Apple ID for iCloud and previous Mobil Me account should be [email protected] I am no longer using [email protected] for Mobil Me e-mail address. My current iCloud e-mail address is [email protected] is no longer of using [email protected] account for my e-mail. If this is the problem, please let me know how to remove the [email protected] account from your system. Thanks!

    Hi,
    In the “Property Mappings” of the Content Search Web Part, we can see that the Picture field will only display the value retrieved from “PublishingImage;PictureURL;PictureThumbnailURL”,
    because there is corresponding column in OOTB Document Library holds the valid value of a thumbnail image for a document, that’s why documents from Document Library display no thumbnail image in a Content Search Web part.
    If you want to display thumbnail images for documents of Document Library, you can add a custom Picture column to hold the thumbnail image of a document, set the “Property
    Mappings” to display this custom Picture column.
    By doing this, every time uploading a document to this library, setting a thumbnail image(provided by common users, not generated by SharePoint automatically) for
    that custom Picture column, in the Content Search Web Part, the thumbnail image will display.
    Thanks

    I travel a lot around the world and previously was able to insert a sim card from another network into my iphone and ipad and it worked perfectly.
    Recently I updated my iphone and ipad to iSO 6.0. and after that when I put my German SIM card in to both iphone and ipad it would not work any longer?? Got a message No service and after Invalid SIM
    I double check with my Carrier and was told all my SIM cards are fine and working correctly from their end.
    I then put the sim cards into another HTC phone and it worked so why all of a sudden my iphone which I paid alot of money for purchasing a UNLOCKED phone as opposed to being strapped down with a 2 years contract now my iphone doesnt work with using different sim cards??

    For what purpose are you trying to connect them?
    Only specific apps support Bluetooth connections between iOS devices, and you can only connect an iPhone to a computer via Bluetooth for internet tethering.

  • My calendar is not syncing between iphone and Mac air on iCloud.

    Hi
    The calendar entries I am adding either on my iphone or mac air via icloud are not syncying between the devices. Is anyone else having this problem currently? If yes, how can it be resolved. I have deleted the account and added it back in but to no avail.
    Thanks

    Are all the devices set to actually sync calendar entries to iCloud?  If any of them are set to sync with some other service (gMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) while some of them are set to use iCloud then they can not sync.  Or if they are set to iCloud but only set to sync say contact and bookmarks then they will not sync.  They all have to be set to iCloud and they all have to have the calendar option selected.
