Hands off feature issue !!!

I have downloaded the Yosemite 10.10 on my mac book air and i wanted to use the hands of feature between my macbook air and Iphone 5s - iOS 8.0.2 and i am unable to use it.
I have tried to re-start the computer and phone as advised in some forums and also followed the guidelines to the T, still the feature doesn't work.
Please assist on the problem.

  • Blue tooth compatibility for hand off feature

    Is the hand off compatibility between newer and older devices (MacBook Pros) going to be bridged somehow by Yosemite or a plug-in? If not, does this mean hand off will only work on brand new computers/mobile devices?

    "and I have successfully paired the iPhone with a Dell laptop for file transfer"
    This is not a feature of legit iphones.
    File transfer via bluetooth has never been a feature of any legit iphone/ipad.

  • IOS 8.0 Hand off feature is not working

    I am really getting frustrated as in using he iOS 8.0 feature. below are the steps i have performed with my iOS devices :
    I am using two IPhone 5s, Both are updated with iOS 8.0.
    Using same network
    Same Apple ID
    Same iCloud Id is being shared between them.
    Also in General>Handoff & Suggested Apps is toggled and set to On state.
    Both the devices are registered with same apple ID using https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    For both the devices Air drop : Everyone is set
    Bluetooth is set as 'ON' state for both the devices .
    I have switched off both of them after completing above process.

    Well, just for future reference, any time you do an iOS upgrade, it is a good idea to back up your device just prior to doing the download. You can back it up to iCloud or to iTunes. Personally, I prefer to back it up to iTunes, and then to do the download via iTunes as well. Doing a Wifi download can, by the very nature of the OTA environment, run into more issues than a hard-wired one via iTunes.
    If it is just a version release (like 8.0.1, or 8.0.2), then I might download it via Wifi, since the content is not likely to be very large. But for any major new release (7 to 8, etc.) it is always a good idea to do it via the USB cable rather than OTA.
    I would also suggest that you set up your device to do automatic iCloud backups. Whenever it is turned on (i.e., not manually powered off - it can be "asleep"), plugged into a power source, and connected to Wifi, it will do an automatic backup every 24 hours. Mine usually backs up at night.
    But even with my iCloud backup in reserve, I still did an iTunes backup before I upgraded to iOS 8. I like having the extra security of that second backup to choose from, should I need it. Here is a support article comparing the two types of backup:

    Sorry you lost your stuff. Hope then next update goes better for you!

  • I'm trying to turn off the "Handoff" feature. When I go to "settings and then general" I do not have the option to turn off "Hand Off".  Help Please

    Can't seem to make this work.  I am up to date with my updates on both I-Phone and I-Pad.  The "Hand-off" feature is working, and I don't want it.  How do I turn it off?  I don't have the option to do that when I go to General & Settings.  Is it located somewhere else?  Apple says that is where it is.  What am I doing wrong,  The "wonderful feature" is driving me crazy.  Surely it is others also...

  • Attempting to connect my MacBook to my 4s iPhone.  I have had them connected in the past to use the "hand off" function. Today it tells me "network unavailable"  make sure network access is enabled.  I don't know what to do.

    Attempting to connect my MacBook to my 4s iPhone.  I have had them connected in the past to use the "hands off" function. Today it tells me "network unavailable"  make sure network access is enabled.  I don't know what to do. I love the hands off feature as my iPhone is never with me when on my mac! I'm not sure what to do.  Both are "discoverable" via bluetooth and show up on each device but when I try to connect it says "network unavailable".  HELP!

    An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

  • HT6555 hi i am unable to find hand off in my mack book pro. Already i have upgraded my IOS to Yosemite

    Hi
    Few weeks back i have upgraded my Macbook Pro to Yosemite, it was working fine on SMS and Hand of features. Later my HDD crashed and reloaded the completed IOS. Then on i found Hand Off feature is not available.
    Can u help me to resolve the issue.

    Hi,
    You will have to re-pair the Blue Tooth connection for the Handoff/Continuity stuff.
    Although the linking of Messages on both iOS and Mac versions is very Blue Tooth like it is different and you will have to re-do this as well.
    On the iPhone turn it Off.  Then turn It On Again and use the item to view which devices are linked.  You should see you Yosemite computer and selecting it will make the Code Number slide appear on the Mac again.  It should be a different number to before.

  • Hand off toggle disappeared

    How to turn back Hand Off toggle??Its just disappeared and hand off feature not working anymore.
    1)Restart - not helped
    2)Turn on and off the Mac - not helped
    3)Enable/disable the toggle on iOS 8.1 device- not helped
    4)Worked before,can still receive calls to my iMac 2011,but can't continue surfing with safari/composing email etc.

    Hi there SZkiyani,
    You may need to verify that Bluetooth is enabled on the devices as well. Take a look at the aritlce below for more information. 
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    Use Handoff with Apple apps such as Mail, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps, Messages, Reminders, Calendar, Contacts. You can also use Handoff with some third-party apps. Start a document, email, or message on one device and pick up where you left off on another device.
    To use Handoff:
    On both devices, you'll need to turn on Bluetooth and sign in to the same iCloud account.
    Use one of the apps listed above on one of your devices.

  • I like to use mac for phone calls but I cannot see hand off device feature in preferences

    Hi,
    I can send and recieve messages from my mac using IOS 8.1 and yosemite but unable to make phone calls. I check the video on how to make phone calls & it asking me to put a check mark under hands off device under general preference but somehow I'm not seeing that option on my computer. What I need to do?

    Handoff is limited to Macs with Bluetooth 4.0, which leaves many older Macs unable to access the new features. Additionally, even though the 2011 MacBook Air and 2011 Mac mini include Bluetooth 4.0, Apple has chosen to make both devices incompatible with OS X Yosemite's Continuity features.

  • Hand off only working in one direction

      I've been trying to get hand-off to work between my iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro Retina mid 2012. It works okay when creating a mail document on the macbook and handing off to the iPhone 6. But I can't get it to work the other way around. I'm expecting a mail icon to the left of the finder on the docking bar when I create an email on my iPhone, but nothing appears. Anyone else got this problem?

    This is funny, I have got the same issue with the other way around:
    I am running:
    iMac 27'' late 2012
    iPhone 5
    iPad Air
    The hand off is working in every device, all the phone calls are shown and can be answered in every device BUT, when using the continuity feature the thing is weird, if I open mail, pages... on my iPhone, it will show at the iMac and at the blocked screen of the iPad the pertinent icon, but if I open the same app on my iPad Air, or iMac it WILL NOT SHOW the icon at the blocked screen of the iPhone! 
    Any Ideas, please?

  • Solaris 10 hands-off installation from a bootable DVD

    Hello,
    I have a problem with installing the Solaris 10 using a bootable DVD with a flar archive. I want this installation to be totally hands-off, but unfortunately after I run this boot command at the ok prompt:
    ok boot cdrom - install ...
    the system is rebooted and the interactive Solaris Installation Program is launched:
    {color:#3366ff}-- The Solaris Installation Program
    The Solaris installation program is divided into a series of short sections
    where you'll be prompted to provide information for the installation. At
    the end of each section, you'll be able to change the selections you've
    made before continuing.

    network_interface=primary {netmask=255.255.255.0 protocol_ipv6=no}
    security_policy=NONE
    I have found some information in the internet, that I need to create the
    .NFS4inst_state.domain file in /etc directory. But it doesn't work...
    I have also read that I need to edit the post installation script, but as far as I know this script is executed after the installation, so it doesn't affect the solaris Installation Program that is launched after the first reboot.
    If you could give me any tips on how to resolve yhis problem, I'd be very thankful.
    Regards,
    Przemek

    I had similar, not identical, issues with a custom JumpStart DVD I was creating. I was not using flar and it was for x86, not SPARC.
    I found that changing the case for the value assigned to network_interface made a difference. In looking at the sysidcfg manpage and online JumpStart documentation, all the examples they used had capitalized "PRIMARY" and "NONE". When I changed the value to the capitalized equivelant, my particular issue had gone away.
    You may also want to consider adding ip_address and default_route to the network_interface section. Test either way to identify the differing results.
    In my particular scenereo, I did not want any networking configuration to be done. The resulting line in sysidcfg was:
    network_interface=NONE {hostname=jsclient}HTH

  • Preventing Listener's hand-off

    Scenario:
    Oracle 10.2.0.4 RAC server.
    Certain clients (running Oracle 10.1.0.4 SE) connect via a self rolled NAT load balancing firewall (long story - bottom line is that there is no real better way given the complex networking infrastructure these specific clients run in).
    If the client is for example from subnet a.b.c, it will be "redirected" (IP packet header rewritten using NAT) to a specific RAC node.
    Problem description:
    This is working fine (for some years now) - but the specific Oracle client (on subnet a.b.c) needs to know which RAC node it is being redirected to. It needs to specify the SID of that RAC instance in the TNS connection string. Why? Using the SID forces the listener on that node to accept the client's connection without handing it off to another listener and another instance on another node.
    And this is a problem ito high availability. That specific node may not always be available (and we can auto configure the NAT firewall to send traffic from subnet a.b.c to a different node all together).
    Ideally we want to use the SERVICE_NAME instead, but without any form of Oracle listener load balancing, fail over or being handed off to another instance.
    If the client connects to a listener using SERVICE_NAME "foo", we want the Listener to accept that (as "foo" is a registered service by the local instance). We do not want the listener to arbitrarily select another RAC node instance (also servicing "foo") and redirect the client's connection there.
    However, does not matter how the TNS is configured with SERVICE_NAME (and explicitly disabling load balancing and so on). the listener mostly will hand off the connection to another listener - and the client will then throw a "+ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist+" as it is unable to reach the IP supplied by the listener.
    Trust that I explained this well enough... bottom line is that we want to tell the listener, via a SERVICE_NAME connection string, not to hand the connection over to another listener. Simple as that. But despite trying a number of config setting and hunting through the Oracle Network ref guide, it does not seem to be simple at all...
    Any ideas, comments and suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

    Did you try setting the DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_<listenername>=OFF in the listener.ora ?Thanks. Tried it, did not make any difference.
    It is also not listed as a parameter in Oracle® Database Net Services Reference guide. Which made me wonder if is is still supported with 10.2.
    I had a look on Metalink (using direct hand-off as search criteria) and run into utterly useless note 90707.1 - Connecting to Database Through a Network Address Translator (NAT). Which describes the exact issue I have, but does not provide any tangible solutions or references on how to solve it in my case. There is a reference to another note (dealing with firewalls) which mentions in passing "+In dedicated server mode, Unix natively implements TCP/IP sharing, so there should be no problem with connectivity+". Now if we assume that direct handoff is by default on for Unix/Linux, then the problem I have is with the Listener load balancing and causing a redirect when the client wants no load balancing at all. Thus it would seem to be a RAC listener specific problem.
    Using CMAN is not an option. Do not want to introduce even more s/w layers for the connectivity tier - besides, the NAT firewall works just fine and does exactly what we want it to do. Now if only the RAC listeners will play ball and not send redirect hand offs to the client when using a service name to connect.
    Any ideas on how to tell a listener not to load balance an incoming client connection and simply service and connect/hand-off that connection as the client states?
