IPhone Calls thru Face Time

Is there a way to hook up my MacPro (Early 2009 Quad Core) to my iPhone if  it isn't connected to the network via WiFi?

You need
How to get started:
Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices.
Turn on Bluetooth on all the devices you want to use. Make sure your devices are near each other.
Connect all your devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
Then, use one of the apps listed above on one of your devices.

Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
It is not clear that the Mac has to have wifi. It could be that the network has to have a wifi access point.

  • Every time I call through face time on my I pad2, it rings and it says connecting and after that it closes and won't connect

    Every time I call through face time on my I pad2, it rings and it says connecting and after that it closes and won't connect.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Hi, my iphone 5S shows Face Time icon only in settings notification. I don't find it anywhere else in the phone. Please help.

    I purchased iphone 5S in Saudi Arabia; there are iphones promoted with Face Time app, sold  here widely. When I purchased it, there was no explicit ad for Face Time with it. I have Gold, 64 GB. When I extensively searched for this app, i just found it in notifications (badges, alerts). I have not been able to find the app anywhere else in the phone. Would any friend here on this forum let me know how to set an email account for Face Time? I am not sure whether it actually exists in my phone. Thank you.

    Check this discussion about it, some models don't offer FaceTime:
    FaceTime is not showing up in my new iPhone 5s?

    All legitimate iPhones sold in SA have Facetime removed on the order of the SA Government and it cannot be reinstalled
    any iPhone you purchase claiming to have FaceTime will be a grey import and may not function correctly as it will have been destined for another Country

  • HT1688 My iphone 4 has face time capability but it does not have the face time app in settings for me to enable it. I have restored it with no luck. Any help?

    My iphone 4 has face time capability but does not have the face time app in settings to turn it on. I have done a restore and it didn't do anything. Can anyone help?

    There is no FaceTime app. To initiate FaceTime go the contact page of the person you want to FaceTime in your Contacts app and select FaceTime at the bottom of the screen.

  • TS4185 Why don't I get a ring tone or sound when I receive a call on face time?

    Why don't I get a ring tone or sound when I receive a call on face time?

    On a Mac computer the Facetime ringtone is VERY weak, even with the volume turned up. If you have your audio level adjusted to a normal level you may not hear it. A number of people have complained about it on this Facetime for Mac forum. On my iPad the alert tones when receiving a FT call is much more robust.

  • On iPhone is using Fac Time the same cost as making a mobile phone call?

    when using Face Time, is the cost to do this the same as the cost to make a mobile phone call? Or is the cost subtracted from the monthly data download fee? I am using Face Time on my iPhone 5C and my current phone service covers both a set Download and mobile phone calls/ month. Just wondering which is cheaper?

    Other than charges for data service, there is no charge for FaceTime.

  • My iphone will not stop going from normal calling to face time

    I have changed the settings to ensure I have turned off face time and I have also turned off the wifi feature as this is what I was told by apple. I now have been told to get a new one and start all over again

    As you can see here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TI73
    ... the iCloud backup works best when the iPhone is plugged in, connected to WiFi and locked.
    You should have a good strong robust WiFi connection.

  • My iPad doesn't ring when someone calls on face time. Any idea why?

    I have two iPads... both are brand new. When I use face time to call from iPad "1" to iPad "2" everything works fine. When I call from iPad "2" to iPad "1" iPad "1" doesn't ring. The screen lights up with the 'accept call' or reject call buttons, and if I hit accept, it works fine. But it doesn't ring.
    Both iPads have the exact same settings. I have turned face time off, powered down, restarted and turned face time back on... nothing. And no offense to Apple's website, but I can't find anything that helps.
    Any ideas out there? Or will I end up having to restore the original settings and re-install all of the apps and data?
    Thanks...
