How do I get FaceTime for Mac to stop ringing after answering an incoming call on my iPhone?

I have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled for iPhone and FaceTime and am able to make and receive calls splendidly with FaceTime. However, when I answer an incoming call on my iPhone, FaceTime will not stop ringing. This is a significant, loud, annoying issue for me, my caller, and everyone in my house. It rings for eternity, long after the call has ended, until the call notification on my Mac is either accepted or declined. FaceTime needs to know when the call is answered on another device and stop ringing. Is there any solution for this?

This works for me:
To turn off Phone Calling on your iPad or iPod Touch, go to FaceTime under Settings and switch off iPhone Cellular Calls. On your Mac, open the FaceTime app, then go to Preferences under FaceTime, and tap Settings. From there, switch off the iPhone Cellular Calls option.
Found it here:http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/131449-why-s-my-mac-taking-my-iphone-calls-how-t o-turn-off-apple-continuity
I realise it doesn't quite solve the issue of FaceTime "knowing" whether the call has already been answered on another device, which I agree is a flaw. But in my case, I don't want to receive regular phone calls on my Mac at any time. Only the very rare FaceTime call. So turning off cellular calls is a solution of sorts.

    I just responded to another post regarding Facebook for Mac.  Your Mac must have OSx 10.6.6 or later.  If your Mac satisfies this requirement, go to the App Store, where it is available for 99 cents US.

  • TS1702 How can I get my downloaded apps to stop crashing after I try to access them?

    How can I get my downloaded apps to stop crashing after I try to access them?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How do I get Word for Mac to quit showing up in Boot Camp?

    We recently bought a Mac computer and installed Word for Mac on it. After some trial and error, decided for work purposes, unfortunately, it works out better to just use Windows in Boot Camp.
    We installed MS Word 2010 in Boot Camp, but now some documents are in Word (Mac) format and others are in MS Word 2010 format. When I go to open a document, I have to tell it which one to open it with, despite choosing MS Word 2010 as the default.
    Is there a way to get the Mac version out of boot camp? Do I have to completely uninstall it?
    Thank you in advance.

    There is no Mac version of Office running in Boot Camp or vice-versa. So I don't quite know what you are asking. You can open any Office for OS X document in Office for Windows, then resave it as a standard Office for Windows document.

  • How can one get Facetime for an Ipod Touch version 4.2

    Purchased Itouch last year.  Would like to install FaceTime app.  Can not find it on Itunes.  Is it even available?

    Ul
    There are three reason why you can't find FT:
    - It on a screen you can't find it.  Try using the Spotlight search feature to find it.
    - It is hidden by Restricitions.  To check/change go to Settings>General>Restrictions
    - You officially puchased the iPod from one of the mid eastern countries that prohibits FT.  In that case there is no way of getting FT on that iPod.  To chacj Google for: FaceTime in (country here).

  • How can I get Outlook for Mac Calendar synced to Google Calendar?

    The Mac calendar produces a view of the Outlook calendar and good syncing. But I cannot find a way of syncing this view with Google calendar. I can get a separate view in Mac Callendar of mt Google calendar adn again good syncing. But I cannot get the Outlook view on Mac calendar across to the google view. What am I missing here?

    Dear Klaus, Many thanks for your response. However as far as I can see the Outlook in this thread is always on a Windows PC. My Outlook is on the Mac.
    I can sync to Mac Calendar V6 with Outlook 2011 for Mac and with Google calendar. But the Google sync and the Outlook sync are in diferent accounts although both visible on the Mac Calendar at the same time. However I cannot find a way of using the Mac Calendar to bidge across from the "On my Mac" account (which is synced with the Outlook for Mac) to the Google account.
    Kind regards, P.

  • Why does an incoming call on my iPhone 5 try to switch to a FaceTime call?

    When someone calls my iPhone 5, the call tries to switch to a FaceTime call. This was happening prior to the iOS 7 updates as well.  It only happens when someone calls me, not when I place a call.  Has anyone else had this happen?  I also have had this happen without a case, with an otter box, and with the life proof case.

    I have re-posed this question where I had originally posed it - in the FaceTime for Mac community. Here is the link to that discussion:
    How do I get FaceTime for Mac to stop ringing after answering an incoming call on my iPhone?
    For some reason the admins moved this original question to the Using iPhone community, when the problem almost certainly has nothing to do with iPhone.
    Would you do me a favor and follow the link to the new discussion and hit the "I have this question too" below it? I'd really appreciate it. Anything to get this issue some exposure.

  • I need an older version of Firefox, how do I get one for Mac ???

    I have a Mac OSX 10.5.8 that wont accept the updated browsers out there. I need a older version. Is there ANYWAY to get one ???

    Since you have a PowerPC and not Intel hardware you can use the third-party TenFourFox. http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ however Plugins are not supported due to be old/vulnerable. Though TenFourFox does support Extensions unless they are say OS specific or for a more current version.
    Firefox 16.0.2 was the last to work on the old Mac OSX 10.5.x as Firefox 17.0 to current has required OSX 10.6+ since

  • How do I get Office for Macs to open

    I really don't know how this works and I don't have the energy.

    Do you already have Office installed? If so, what is happening when you try to open it?
    If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier and are getting messages saying that PowerPC software cannot be opened, you need to upgrade to a newer version of Office. Either 2008 or 2011 will work.

  • How do i get itunes for mac os 10.5.8

    I have a five year old macbook pro. I recently had to reboot the os, and now my computer reads that I cannot get into my itunes. So I tried to download itunes again, but that seems to require snow leopard. Can I download an older version of itunes that will work with os 10.5.8, or do I have to buy 10.6 and download the new itunes?

  • How do you get safari for Mac OS X Version 10.6.8?

    I really need help with it

    That's not the Safari version number, it's the OS X version number. Safari is at v. 5.x, and you can see exactly what version of it you have by opening it and choosing "About Safari" from the Safari menu. It will be a slightly higher version in Lion than in Snow Leopard.
