IPhone 6 seems to crash when making phone call from Mac

When using my iPhone 6 Plus to make phone calls from the Macintosh, (initiating call from Mac Contacts app in Yosemite) the iPhone continually brings up the Apple logo and does a quick restart over and over again. The phone call, however seems to work, but it's just that the iPhone looks as if it's going crazy showing the Apple logo and then the home screen over and over again. This had worked initially, but not anymore. Both iPhone 6 and MacBookPro up to date with updates.

If you never find an app that will do it then you could have a go at making one yourself-I don't think you need to pay Apple as long as you don't want to sell it.

I get an error message "iPhone is already on a call" when making phone calls from Macbook Air. What can I do to fix this problem?

I have followed the instructions exactly according to Apple for making phone calls from my Macbook Air. Im signed in to iCloud on both devices. Im on the same wifi network. Wifi calls is turned off on my iPhone. Any suggestions?

Howdy jcannon130,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your Mac believes you iPhone is still on a call while trying to make a call from your Mac, please first reset your iPhone, and then verify you have the settings configured correctly on your Mac and iPhone.

Sound issues making phones calls from Mac

When making or receiving calls thru continuity on my Mac (27" Late 2013; IOS 8.1 iPhone 5S), the person on the other end says the call sounds like I'm in a tunnel, has some distortion and is at times not clear enough to understand what I'm saying. I have used the internal microphone on the mac and have also used a "Yeti" external microphone with the same results. I did try "Face Time" audio as a test and the sound was much improved and satisfactory at the caller's end. There are no issues with the sound from my end sitting at the computer.

Making iPhone Calls from Mac Doesn't Work
Your points 1 & 2 have nothing to do with it.

Clicking sound when making a call from mac

When I try to answer a call or make a call I have a horrible clicking sound. Don't think a speaker is blown because I tried to play music and it sounds fine. Assuming I just have a setting that is wrong some where. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thank you!

I had this happen as well. Restarting my MacBook Pro (8,2) made it go away. At other times it seemed to appear when calling some phones (my wife's iPhone 4 and my son's Samsung phone) but not others (my land line), but this was not consistent. My phone is an iPhone 5. I'm hoping the iOS update due tomorrow will fix this.

HI I have an Iphone 3GS and the microphone jack works when I play music but not when making phone calls. please help as I use it for conference calls

Hi I use my phone for conference calls and use the microphone jack to connect to speakers. It doesnt work when making phone calls but when i play music on the phone the jack works with the external speaker.

Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

I'm sorry but your post doesn't make much sense in English. You may want to try posting again in your native language.
Best of luck.

I can't seem to make n actual phone call from my phone. I dial the number, and at the other end it rings, and the person knows it is me trying to call... but on my end of the phone is nothing at all. Why is that?

I can't seem to make an actual phone call from my iPhone 4S. I dial the number, and the phone at the other end rings. But at my end there is nothing. No ringing. No person trying to talk to me. What is causing this problem? I have got all of the current updates loaded to my phone.

My brother had a similar problem and he went to the Apple store and they gave him a new one under warrenty...she said something about the arial, I would give it a go.

But STILL CANT MAKE CALLS or RECEIVE CALLS FROM MAC..... its says "iPhone Not Available, Your iPhone and Mac must be on the same Wi-Fi network"
Anyone knows whats going on???

Call your carrier, my daughter's phone stopped working one Saturday night and it turned out our AT&T account had been hacked by someone somewhere in the US at a Walmart. They bought a new phone, upgrading from her phone knocking out her number and sim card. AT&T told her to go to phone store Sunday morning and they gave her new phone. We followed through with the theft report. About a weel later the Visa we pay the phone bill with was attempted to be used at a phone store in Sacremento.
Anyway, your carrier will restore service if it nots working for any reason.

IPhone 6 Plus 64GB (iOS 8.1 or 8.1.1) springboard crashes repeatedly when making phone calls via Continuity on Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014 using Yosemite 10.10.1

I USED TO be able to make phone calls using continuity on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) with Yosemite (10.10) via my iPhone 6 Plus on iOS 8.1 without any problems. Once I updated Yosemite to 10.10.1, my iPhone's springboard would continually crash where it brings up the Apple logo and quickly restarts repeatedly until I end the call. Just so that you know, I am able to stay on the call while this is occurring the whole time.
I need to reiterate, this all started happening as soon as I updated Yosemite to 10.10.1 while still on iOS 8.1. I know this because I made a few phone calls (loving the feature), updated Yosemite to 10.10.1, then made a few phone calls afterwards, and this started happening.
When iOS 8.1.1 came out, I eagerly updated hoping this issue would go away, and it did not. I'm hoping Apple notices this post. If anyone else has this problem, please contact Apple and chime in this post as well. Thank you Apple for incorporating continuity calling. I love this feature, but need to use it without my phone's springboard constantly crashing.

I have this issue as well. I am using an iPhone 6 plus, iPad Air 2, 5K iMac, and MacBook Pro. When I make a continuity calls from any device, the springboard crashes. This only happens with outgoing calls, incoming calls are functioning normal. I am currently working with multiple Apple Senior Advisors, and they are working directly with iOS a engineers. I have an active open case and will update this thread when a resolution is found.
Just a tip for everyone with this issue, restoring your devices and setting them up as new WILL NOT correct this issue. Save yourself the hassle. I did this with my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook and the issue still persists.

Steps I have taken (found from other posts):-Restarted computer-Uninstalled nvidia drivers using DDU & Safe Mode then Reinstalled the latest drivers-Deleted the skype folder from appdata & temp-Uninstalled skype, deleted all associated folders from program files, temp, appdata, programdata then reinstalled skype Unfortunately none of these solutions have worked for me. This is extremely frustrating. Can someone please assist me with this issue.

I imagine 3d stereoscopic being enabled or playing Nvidia gamewoks-based games probably use that as a dependency. You can always run msconfig from the run box and uncheck things that load at startup. Since that file is not in use all the time something is loading it in memory then the crash occurs because it probably get unexpectedly unloaded. Many times this can be due to your sleep settings in Window or your BIOS (or BIOS issues), and other times mix/match driver issues. You might consider doing a clean install of the Nvidia drivers (checking the box for clean install) and installing only the basic components (none of the add-ons like shadowplay) and see if that helps.I have already clean installed my nvidia drivers, I used DDU to wipe them. I also only ever install the driver itself, and uncheck all other options.I have my power options set to Never sleep, and 20minutes to turn off the display.I'm not exactly sure what startup options I should be looking for in msconfig, I think I've already unchecked everything I don't need.It's just strange how this only just recently started happening, I didn't have an issue before. I also don't recall updating anything recently unless it was done through Windows Updates.

Why can't I be heard when making Skype calls from iPad2 or iPhone?

Live in Costa Rica. Been making Skype calls to U.S. in excess of 5 years. During the past 3 weeks when I make initial Skype call with my iPad2 or iPhone and I can't be heard. I "Power off" iPad or "Turn off" iPhone, then turn on one or both and attempt 2nd Skype call. I can hear the party I am calling and they can hear me. Call quality is excellent. iPad and iPhone software is up to date. Skype Version is latest version (4.0.1325) released on 21 May, 2012. I have deleted App and reinstalled both numerous times. I connect using WIFI with Apple Extreme and Apple Express. I also connect to Skype using MacBook with no sound problems

Also sent this issue to Skype and was promised a response in 24 hours. Did not receive and decided once again to read current reviews of Skype In App Store. Did a search in App Store using "Skype", not Skype for iPad. Apps were shown for iPad, iPhone and iPod. Unlike the iPad App which shows "installed", the iPhone App displayed "Install". I installed the iPhone App to my iPad2. My iPad now has 2 App's installed. The iPhone Skype App display format on my iPad now looks like the Skype display before I upgraded to the current iPad version in late May. Made a call using both App's. Still could not be heard with Skype iPad App. Called the same individual using iPhone App installed on my iPad. Was heard and the sound quality was excellent! Will continue to make calls for several days before passing judgement.

Screen goes black when making phone calls

Hi, I have started to use a new Xperia Z2 a short while ago. As soon as I am tapping the screen to call a phone number the screen goes black; I can hear the phone calling but can't see anything (not being able to turn on loudspeaker etc.). The sound works, and screen can be brought back to life when the call is finished. Same thing when I call with my Skype app - really annoying as the video mode in Skype doesn't function. When the call is finished from the other side, I can get the screen to light up again. What can I do to solve ths problem?

Hi.
I've got very simillar problem with Xperia Z2 screen.
Not always, but very often when I want to end the conversation and take the phone away from my head, screen remains black.
Only power button can help, when I click it, screen pops up and then I can click "END CONVERSATION"
It's really annoying. What can I do, to make it work ?
Answers for your further questions.
- I don't have any protection on the screen
- I don't have any case or anything

Compilation number: 17.1.1.A.0.402

Making phone call from Java Swing

I am not sure whether it is possible or not. I want my Java program to make a phone call and deliver a recorded message or call on a beeper and leave a no. for call back.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If there is a Telephony API for Java, it's not part of Swing. I don't know if there is one at all; you might try asking in Advanced Language Topics.

Making continuity calls from mac and ipad

Hi,
I'm not able to make calls from my mac and ipad. I get a message that says your iphone is not configured, but I have done all the procedure required for that. I'm guessing that facetime is required for this feature to work and I don't have facetime on my iphone since I bought it with carrier contract in UAE.
I'm having Macbook pro with retina mid 2014 (os x yosemite), iphone 5s (ios 8) and ipad mini (ios 8).
Please help me if there is a way to get around with that.
Cheers

If you do not have Facetime on your phone, then that particular feature will not work.
I would send feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Requesting they look into alternatives for those who do not have access to Facetime.
