How do I answer a facetime call on my macbook air?

I received a factime call on my new MacBook Air laptop and was unable to answer it. It kept ringing but there was no place to either accept or decline the call as there is on my iPad 2. How do I answer a facetime call?
Also, how do I enlarge the image on the MacBook Air to get it to be full screen? I clicked the little green circle at the top of the image to maximize it, but it didn't do anything.

How do I make a NAS connected to a MacBook Pro visible on the network?

I have a NAS connected to my MBP via ethernet, how do I make this drive visible to other Macs on my home network?

A NAS, Network Attached Storage, is Not connected to any one computer. It is connected only to the LAN, Local Area Network, by an Ethernet cable and or wirelessly (Better by Ethernet cable and only a few NAS system work over WiFi and they are SLOW).
If you are attaching a USB, Firewire or Thunderbolt external drive to your Mac that is not a NAS system. It is a drive connected to your system and for it to show to the rest of your LAN it must be shared from the computer it is connected to.

How do I make a phone call from my mac with yosemite?

How do I make a phone call from my MacBook Pro on the Yosemite operating system?

The following quotation is from Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
There is more information in the link, including supported hardware and that you must have Settings > FaceTime > iPhone Cellular Calls set to on on the iPhone.
Phone calls
With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
Make a call
To make a phone call on your Mac, iPad or iPod touch tap or click a phone number in Contacts, Calendar, or Safari.

TS4185 Trouble using FaceTime between a new MacBook Pro 13" and iPad2.

I recently upgaded my daughter's 2008 MacBook to a new 13" MacBook Pro.
Since the upgrade we are unable to FaceTime from her new MacBook Pro to my iPad2. Calls start OK but then after a few seconds video freezes at the iPad end and then goes black. Audio continues in both directions and video from iPad2 to the MacBook Pro is OK.
This didn't happen with the old MacBook and nothing else has changed. I can receive FaceTime calls from the MacBook Pro on my iPhone 4S in the same location where the iPad2 will not work.
I think the problem is the higher video resolution from the MacBook Pro. I have 100Mbps broadband, iPad2 shows over 35Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload on Speedtest.net. I have tried resetting the iPad2 a number of times with no effect.
- Is it possible to lower the resolution beng sent from the MacBook Pro ?
- Any other ideas ?

If your computer meets these requirements, you will be all set.

Ever time I make a call on my iPhone 4 my FaceTime icon has a question mark in the middle of it. I can not figure out how to make it go away. Nor can I make a FaceTime call.

Ever time I make a call on my iPhone 4 my FaceTime icon has a question mark in the middle of it. I can not figure out how to make it go away. Nor can I make a FaceTime call. Do I need to install a FaceTime App on my phone?

No, your FaceTime is build in, see this article for more info: iOS: Using FaceTime
Did you enable restirctions for FaceTime in Settings/General/Restrictions ->FaceTime?
Is FaceTime enabled in Settings/Phone?

Can't make any FaceTime calls, but can receive calls

Any advice on how to enable outgoing Facetime calls on an iPad 2.
I have set Facetime up with my Apple User ID and several people have been able to make Facetime calls to me and they work perfectly. However, if I try to initiate a Facetime call to any user, I always get the message that they are unavailable for Facetime. I have checked with each of them that I have the correct emails in my contacts that is associated with their Apple IDs and with their Facetime, but still I can't make any calls to them.
I have not found anything in the Apple support pages that is effective. I have also completely wiped the iPad back to the just out of the bax stage and set it up from scratch as a new iPad, but that didn't help at all. I have also reset all settings, tried changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8, but nothing seems to make any difference. It will not make any outgoing calls with facetime, but is happy to receive them.
Am I missing something obvious ?
It is an iPad 2 (wifi and 3G model), but doesn't have a 3G SIM installed yet. I understand Facetime doesn't use 3G, only wifi.

You might be right about the email thingy.
I have managed to overcome the problem somewhat by getting the contacts I couldn't call to Facetime me on my MacBook Pro. This leaves their contact details on the Recents list in the Facetime window. I was able to click on these contact details to make a reply call. I then added them to the Favourites list (click the > symbol next to the recent contact and click the Add to Favourites button). The email address appears the same as before, but the one in the Favourites list works.

HT204380 How can I make my iphone4 call my contact's email on her ipad and not her phone (which is not a smart phone) when both info is in my contact list

When I use my iphone4 to call a contact on her mini ipad it seems to use her phone number from my contact list and this is not a smart phone or in use where she is. How can I make my phone use the e-mail address to call her on her wifi connection.

You're off base... I know what this problem is, and I provided the workaround for her.
Then why was the OP able to make the facetime calls before, with both items in a single contact then (if I am reading his posts correctly)? I know I do not have to separate my contacts like that, and I do facetime with a couple of relatives with wifi only iPads (usually from my own iPad 4 or MBP, but I've done it once or twice from my iPhone 5 - all of which use the exact same contact entries).
Is this a quirk specific to an iPhone 4?

HT1937 Why am I still not able to make a facetime call over my cellular network (sprint) after my iOS 6 update?

I am not able to make a facetime call after my recent iOS update. It is still saying that I need to connect to wifi when I try to do so. Does not give use cellular option in my general settings.

You will need to contact Sprint and find out what data plan you need.
I'm with AT&T with unlimited data in order for me to use cellular data for facetime, I would need to sign up for a different plan.

Is it possible to make a facetime call from an iPod Touch to a computer?

My iPod Touch 4G is now capable of video chat. My computer (and my long-distance girlfriend's computer) are capable of video chat. As far as I can tell, those devices are unable to communicate with each other. I use Skype to video chat computer to computer, and I thought my new iPod Touch 4G would be able to call her computer on the go (so long as I'm in a decent wifi network.) Skype doesn't seem to be able to access that camera, though, and does voice only when I call. Facetime can access that camera, but as far as I can tell is incapable of calling anyone using a device other than another iPod Touch or iPhone.
Is there any way for Facetime (or any other app I can download to my iPod Touch) to video chat with a regular computer? I don't understand why Apple would overlook this, if it's the case (and not just my inability to figure it out.) It seems basic that if I can video chat with another iPhone or iPod, I should be able to do the same with a properly equipped computer.

Sure, assuming you don't have an iPad from a region where FaceTime is banned, and further that it is an iPad 2 or higher.
