MacBook FaceTime issue

Ever since I installed Yosemite on my MacBook, whenever I get a call on my iPhone (a normal phone call), I get a notification on my MacBook that I am getting an incoming FaceTime call. And then I pick up the call on my iPhone and it still says it's a missed FaceTime call.
The first time this happened, I went into FaceTime on my MacBook and I went to Preferences and I un-checked my iPhone phone number. My Apple ID is still checked, however.
But the problem continues. I get a call, and FaceTime on my MacBook also receives it and thinks I'm getting a FaceTime call. Even weirder, the calls I'm getting to my iPhone aren't even FaceTime calls, but simply normal telephone calls, but the MacBook thinks they are FaceTime calls.
Not sure what to do at this point other than throw out my computer and start over. (jk). But seriously, the "Missed FaceTime Call" notifications are starting to pile up. I could de-select my Apple ID from FaceTime preferences as well...but I want to be able to use FaceTime on my MacBook once in a while...
Thanks for any help!

Hello there, vwg.
The ability to chose where to take your calls, is part of a new feature called Continuity in Yosemite. The following link to the online User Guide for Mac OS X provides some great information in regards to the settings that are related to making and recieving calls on your Mac:
Use your Mac to make and receive phone calls - Mac Help
Use your Mac to make and receive phone calls
When you want to make or receive a phone call, you don’t have to reach for your iPhone—you can use your Mac. When someone calls you, a notification appears on your Mac and you can take the call.
You can start a phone call on your Mac from FaceTime, Contacts, Safari, Mail, Maps, Spotlight, and many other apps.
Note: Phone calls you make and receive on your Mac use cellular minutes—cellular charges may apply.
To make and receive phone calls on your Mac, make sure of the following:
Your iPhone has iOS 8 installed.
Your Mac and iPhone are on the same Wi-Fi network. For more information, see Join a Wi-Fi network.
Your Mac and iPhone are signed in to iCloud and FaceTime using the same Apple ID. For more information, see Set up iCloud on your Mac and Sign in to FaceTime.
Your Mac and iPhone have iPhone Cellular Calls turned on.
Turn on or off iPhone Cellular Calls on your Mac
Open FaceTime, then choose FaceTime > Preferences.
Select iPhone Cellular Calls.If you don’t see the iPhone Cellular Calls option, make sure you meet all of the above requirements, then open FaceTime preferences again.
To turn off phone calls, deselect iPhone Cellular Calls. 
Turn on or off iPhone Cellular Calls on your iPhone
Tap Settings, tap FaceTime, then turn iPhone Cellular Calls on or off.
You can still make and receive phone calls on your iPhone with this option turned off.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

  • 2012 Macbook FaceTime Issues

    Good Morning Everyone,
    I would just like to ask if anyone could help me with this issue, I have got a Macbook 2012. And like 2 days ago, i go to use FaceTime and it says Power Saver Mode, Click FaceTime to resume. I do as it says, but nothing happens. The FaceTime camera green light is always on, even though FaceTime quite clearly isn't working.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Cheers
    Alec

    click system preference
    energy saver
    remove check mark "slightly dim the display while on battery power"
    then reload face time
    you're done
    Happy New Year!

  • I have a FaceTime issue on my iPhone 5. Recently updated my iPhone with OS 7.0.4

    Hello there,
    I am not able to connect to anyone via FaceTime. It just does not connect.
    Recently I have updated my iPhone to iOS version 7.0.4 which should resolved any FaceTime issues but it has gone the other way and stopped my good working FaceTime app. Any steps which I should follow? Instagram is also not working properly, it wont upload photos, but I am least bothered about this as FaceTime is my real concern.
    Thanks,

    Hey there VRG18,
    It sounds like you are unable to connect to anyone using FaceTime. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3367
    Resolve issues with FaceTime calls
    If you encounter issues making or receiving FaceTime calls, follow these steps:
    Ensure that your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is up to date.
    Verify that FaceTime is enabled in Settings > FaceTime.
    If the issue persists or if you see the message "Waiting for Activation", try toggling FaceTime off and then on again. See the Activating FaceTime section of this article for more information.
    If you don't see the FaceTime setting, ensure that Camera and FaceTime are not disabled in Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Verify that the date and time are set correctly:
    Tap Settings > General > Date & Time and turn on Set Automatically.
    Verify that both parties are connected to a Wi-Fi network or a cellular data connection and have an active Internet connection.
    FaceTime uses push notifications to send and receive invitations. Verify push functionality using Mail or other applications that use this feature.
    Verify that you have the correct phone number or email address.
    Restart your device.
    If using FaceTime over a Wi-Fi network, proceed to the "Wi-Fi network issues" section in this article.
    There is additional troubleshooting in the article if needed.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • Macbook Startup Issue - Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My 2006 mac book had a start up issue a couple of years back, I'd boot her up to be greeted with a screen displaying a start up failed message in three different languages on a grey screen. http://www.minneapolispcrepair.com/images/mac%20error%20screen.jpg
    Looking into the issue I noticed this model of Macbooks had issues with their hard drives and they could be replaced under warranty. Brilliant, booked myself into see a Genius and ha presto a few weeks later my hard drive had been replaced. However a couple of weeks after the replacement the issue started happening again but after a few attempts the Macbook would fire up so it wasn't really an issue just a pain in the butt!! Now 18 months down the line its becoming a real issue again, it must take 7 or 8 attempts to fire the blasted thing up, 25 is my highest so how.
    My question is, what could be causing this start up issue, could it be the hard drive again???? as replacing the hard drive previously didn't really solve the issue in the first place?? Would apple replace this hard drive again????
    The MB is a late 2006 model with Dual Core run Snow Leopard
    Hope someone can help :o(
    Thanks

    This looks like a kernel panic. Try to startup the mac in safe mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455) and observe for a few startups whether the problem occurs again or not.
    If this solves the problem then you may have a problem with your software installation. Consider reinstalling os x or take a look at your system log file and search for kernel panics (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742).
    If the problem persists you may have an issue with your hardware. I would recommend to take it to an Apple Genius to have the system checked (free of charge afaik).

  • Facetime issue becoming overbearing!!!

    Has APPLE released any troubleshooting on how to fix this Facetime issue?! It's becoming overbearing
    My Apple ID and password are verified but I cannot access it. I tried synching it with iTunes, changing the time zone etc but that still didnt work
    Does anybody out there have any solutions?

    Hi catherineh14,
    If you are having an issue with all other FaceTime users being unable to see or hear you from your iPhone, and you have already tried resetting you phone, I would suggest the next step is to test in a different Wi-Fi environment.
    If this does not resolve your issue, back up the data on your iPhone and then restore it as a new device. See this article -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Is anyone else having FaceTime issue?

    I am having FaceTime issues and wanted to know if anyone else was having issues? It says server is busy on my iMac and won't let me access Face Time

    I had a similar issue but mine said cannot verify username and password.
    To resolve this i went to generals: App store and clicked on my apple id. when a pop up shows click on view Applie id account. There select the payment process and select NONE in the type of card instead of your visa or mastercard. save it and then you can try getting into facetime., It should be good. It worked for me. Good luck. Lemme know how it goes

    Facetime is not in the App store. It is part of the iOS. You access Facetime on the phone via the contact section. Facetime needs to be activated in Settings. The only reason you may not have it is if you purchased the device in an area where Facetime is prohibited by law.

  • FaceTime issue on MacBook Pro retina.

    HI guys.
    OK another head head scratcher I'm having an issue with FaceTime on my MacBook Pro 13" retina Running mountain lion.
    It it to was working fine until about a month ago.
    Now it just won't let me connect at all regardless if it's me that is ringing out or someone ringing me.
    The issue is it drops connection when I go to answer or if who I am ringing answers Never had this problem before.
    it rings fine & when I click accept it says connecting then it beeps 3 times & tells me it's failed.
    i Know it can't be my Apple ID as FaceTime works without any problems on my iPad But it does have issues on my iPhone 4 8gb But that's a different issue FaceTime just hangs when I go to answer on my iPhone.
    i Have so far tried several things logging out of iCloud then back in.
    Logging in with a different Apple ID & trying it from a different user account.
    ALl all have the same result so all I can conclude there must be something on the Mac itself.
    The mac does have norton antivirus for mac installed which the subscription has expired on months ago I have tried allowing the FaceTime app through the firewall & I have also disabled norton too but still the same result.
    anyone had the same issue or come across this before if so how did you resolve it?
    cheers guys thank you.

  • FaceTime issues on MacBook Pro.

    Hi everyone. FaceTime works fine on my iPhone 4, but when I try to sign in on my MacBook Pro, it says the server encountered an error processing my registration. How do I fix this? Thanks.

  • FaceTime issues on MacBook

    When my friend tries to call me on Facetime from his laptop, the call goes to my phone, regardless of whether he calls my phone number or my e-mail address. Similarly, if I try to call him from my laptop (using phone number or e-mail address), the call goes to his phone. If I turn my phone off, I do not get the call at all. However, Facetime on my computer shows *missed* calls for the cases when Facetime on my phone rings.
    Is there a way to fix this? We would really prefer to both be able to use Facetime on our computers when chatting. My laptop is a brand-new 13" MacBook Air.

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so. Then sign out of FaceTime and sign back in.

  • FaceTime issues between 2014 retina MacBook Pros

    Another person with whom I have regular rMBP-to-rMBP FaceTime sessions can no longer initiate FT sessions to me without the message "...unavailable for FaceTime call..." appearing on screen. This happens even when I am available and expecting the call. Both of us use 2014 rMBP laptops running Yosemite 10.10.1. If I initiate the session, my call will only appear on the other person's iPhone...not their rMBP. Perhaps one of us is overlooking something... or perhaps it's related to Yosemite's 10.10.1 issues? I'm unable to determine the cause. Does this mimic a problem experienced by anyone else?

    That's a good question... I don't know. Nobody else has tried. I'll have to find another correspondent and get back to you.

  • Facetime issues with my macbook pro

    Hi, I have a 2013 Macbook Pro. When I am on FaceTime with others, I can hear them continuously but when there is noise on their end, they cant hear me. I know that this is a problem on my end because this does not happen when they are face-timing with others. Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks!
