HT4534 my computer will allow me to call using facetime but won't accept calls

My Computer will allow me to call using facetime but will not allow the same person to call me.  It says person is unavailable on their computer with nothing on mine

I have a similar issue on my Macbook Pro, running Mountain Lion. Facetime works perfectly on my iPhone 4, and also works great between my iPad 2 and my phone. The problem is when I make a call to my Macbook from my iPad, there is no "accept" button, only an "end" button, and two grayed out icons for muting and enlarging.
The only option it gives me is to end the call. There is no problem going out from my Macbook to my iPad, or to my phone, or from my phone to my Macbook. The problem only occurs when I call from my iPad to my Macbook. You may ask why I would want to do this, but I want to have a larger screen than on my phone, when I am away from my family, and would like them to call from the iPad.

  • I want to build an AA that will allow for rotating call out profiles

    I have UCCX 7. what i'm looking to do is build an auto attendant script so when a caller dials in it will allow for them to reach the oncall person in a different sequence each week\ month. this will need to be triggered only by them calling the ACD access number. I know how the day of week sciprt works just not how to step up the sequencing. has anybody done this before? please respond if you have thank you.
    Kind of like this:
    Jan 2010            Feb 2010
    dial phone 1        dial phone 2
    dial phone 2        dial phone 3
    dial phone 3        dial phone 1

    You can call this script from Applescript (just need to do some escaping of quotes):
    This can be run in Applescript:
    do shell script "
    DestinantionFolder=$HOME/Desktop
    MONTHS=(January February March April May June July August September October November December)
    for f in ~/Desktop/*
    do
         if [[ $( echo \"${f##*/}\" | cut -d_ -f1 ) == \"CLIN\" ]] ; then
              ff=$( echo \"${f##*/}\" | cut -d_ -f2 )
              pd=$( echo \"${f##*/}\" | cut -d_ -f3 )
              date=$( echo \"${f##*/}\" | cut -d_ -f5 )
              date=${date%%.*}
              mo=${date:0:2}
              yr=20${date:4:2}
              Dir=$DestinantionFolder/$ff/$pd/${MONTHS[$mo-1]}\\ $yr/
              if [ ! -d \"$Dir\" ]; then
                   mkdir -p \"$Dir\"
              fi
              mv \"$f\" \"$Dir\"
         fi
    done"
    ...is there a way to trigger this whenever a new file is created to check and see if it needs to be moved
    Yes, with Automator.  When you Open Automator, choose Folder Action
    I copied what you did and while the script ran successfully, I don't see any new folders created.  Your shell script makes sense; I am not sure why it doesn't create folders.
    The script as written only looks for files in the Desktop Folder
    (edit by changing: DestinantionFolder=$HOME/Desktop )
    To test I created a file on my Desktop
      touch ~/Desktop/CLIN_JONES123_JAMES228_LAB_022614.PDF
    and Folders were created and the file moved.
    (Note: I only tested that format.  If the file has any other format, it will fail)

  • Iphone is disabled and old will allow emergency phone calls, how can I enter password

    iphone is disables and will only allow emergency phone calls, how can I enter a password to unlock it?

    Just restore it by putting the phone into DFU mode. You will loose every thing but it will be back to normal pal
    Press and hold power and home button together for 10 seconds by connecting it to cable, leave the power button but keep holding the home button for 30 seconds and it will go into DFU mode. Open Itunes and just perform a restore or update

  • If the battery pack is ruined do you think the computer will turn on if I use the charger

    If the battery pack is ruined do you think the computer  will still work and turn on if I use the charger

    how are you certian the battery is "ruined" ?  If water damaged, I wouldnt dare charge it.
    Theres a big difference between dead (cycled out, old, dead) and RUINED / damaged/ cracked cells/
    If damaged or a cell is broken, I wouldnt dare charge it.
    Will it work if the batteries are utterly dead, no.

  • I'm trying to use FaceTime but when I try to log in, the system tries to verify and gives me a number to call Apple to complete registration.  Is there anything I can do?

    I'm trying to use FaceTime from my IMac OS Version 10.8.5 but when I try to log in, the system tries to verify and gives me a number to call Apple to complete registration.  Is there anything I can do? 

    There is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know.
    If you're trying to sign in to FaceTime, try to sign in to iMessage in the Messages application, or vice versa.
    Otherwise, do as the alert directs. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID"—not the hardware model—as the product you're asking about, and cite the "customer code" in the alert as the "validation code" when you speak to the Apple representative.

  • I just purchased FaceTime and it installed on my MacBook OS 10.6.8. It doesn't accept my Apple ID to allow sign in and use FaceTime

    I just purchased FaceTime and it installed on my MacBook OS 10.6.8. It doesn't accept my Apple ID to allow sign in and use FaceTime

    This is what I found out about my own question as nowhere in my search of Apple support was there a similar problem addressed. 
    What I found that was very frustrating in Apple Support was the references to going into FaceTime preferences to reset certain items.  But it can't be opened
    if I couldn't activate the sign in... and yes I was very careful with entering correct symbols for i.d. and password. Also, navigating the site is such a mishmash that searches kept changing as I found myself in communities without any reference to backtrack how I got there.
    Enough grousing.
    I am fortunate to have a TD Curran store nearby.  They are a licensed Apple Dealer and service center located in the NW of the U.S.A.  They used my id and password, activated the program and tested it on their store phone.
    The only thing I could determine that was different was the ISP. The store had a Comcast Commercial business contract- high speed.
    My ISP is CLEAR WiMAX out of Portland, OR. When they were independent and just starting I signed on for a very reasonable monthly with the lowest speeds- they have served me well until this fiasco.
    My speeds are download ~ 0.789 mbps and upload ~0.390 mbps.
    This, I hope, helps at least one person.

  • Why when I burn to disc a playlist in itunes (audio files) it will play in a portable cd player, but won't play in two different auto cd players?

    Why when I burn a playlist (audio files) to a cd-rw, it will play in a portable cd player,
    but when attempting to play in two different auto cd players it won't play and reads as "error"?

    CD-RWs tend to have a lot of problems when used for audio CDs.  I suggest you try the burn again using a CD-R.

  • I have Logic Studio 9.0 media set but need to install onto new Mountain Lion iMac. Migrating from older OS will allow free upgrade from App store but I don't want to migrate due to other issues. How can I install this?

    We have a valid serial number and the original 9.0 media set. When I tried migrating the App Store updated it free of charge.  However I don't know how to get Logic on without migrating as it point blank refuses when I insert the install disk.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Something is not quite right here:
    I have the original Studio 2 disks here, and the installer runs fine under OSX.8.3. It will install Logic Pro 9.0.0, which can then be updated by downloading the 9.1.7 or 9.1.8 updater from Apple Downloads.
    On your system, the installer refuses to run, or does the install proceed, but you are unable to update Logic so that it will work on Mountain Lion?

  • Windows 7 computer will not find Time Capsule using Airport Utility.

    I have a wireless network already setup.  However, I have bought the Time Capsule to put in my home office, where it is acting as a hub to get access to three different printers.  I have already setup our iMac and Macbook to get access, and they work fine.  however, the Windows 7 laptop just does not even find the Time Capsule.  I have updated the Airport Utility software, rebooted the time capsule, and even tried connecting directly using an ethernet cable, and nothing.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for trying to help me out, but, I have solved the issue on my own.  The issue is, firewalls.  if you have windows firewall, or any other firewall installed it blocks the communication.  I simply turned off the firewall, it recognized the time capsule, I configured it, and then turned the firewall back on, and it kept the connection because the port was now open.  All is good now.
