Outgoing calls from Mac don't work

Hi folks,
handoff is working so far. I can receive incoming calls on my Mac. But I am not able to make calls from my Mac. It is starting but everytime it quits with an error and I am able to retry or quit but retry don't work either.
I have checked all settings, logged-out and -in to iCloud but nothing works.
Any hints?
Steve

What i did and it fixed the problem after i checked that both mac and iPhone are on the same network and have the same iCloud account and the phone number is mentioned on mac also. I just viewed the iCloud account from the FaceTime on iPhone and then everything work perfectly.

Change iPhone number for outgoing calls from mac (Yosemite)

I have two iPhones, and one of the iPhone is set for iPhone cellular calls (handoff) in macbook under FaceTime preference. How to change this number so that I can make outgoing calls from different iPhone?

Hi,
If you Erased the Drive and set up the computer anew it will depend on how you migrated/imported your Mac User Account (if you even did).
Mostly the process will make the Mac seen as a "New" computer.
In some cases this will means settings that involve some sort of "pairing" will not work.
You may also get to the point of having 5 "devices" linked to iTunes because of this.
I have G4 that is coming up on 121 years old.
It has 4 drive bays and some of the drives are partitioned.
It will boot into OS 9 and every version of OS X up to and including Leopard (OS X 10.5)
I have tended to Clone the current set up and then Update the main Drive.
It does mean though that iTunes counts them all individually.
On top of that I have a Snow Leopard MacBook Pro and my current Yosemite booted iMac (It also has Older OSes on External Drives)
The outcome is that you might have to re-link the two devices.

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.

Actually I have found one more input into this. My wifi network supports 802.11b+g+n and not 802.11ac.
Could this be the possible problem ?

Can't place iPhone call from Mac (can receive calls though)

-MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) with Yosemite (10.10)
-iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1
Both use same iCloud account and same FaceTime account. Both have 'iPhone Cellular Calls' enabled under FaceTime settings.
I cannot place an outgoing call from my Mac. I've been getting an error 'iPhone Calls Not Available. Your iPhone must use the same iCloud and FaceTime account' but it does indeed..
I tried to reboot both devices, signed out/in iCloud, played with the toggle-switches - still nothing. Though when I am receiving an incoming call on iPhone - I can take it on Mac.
The only idea I have - my cellular provider is not supported by Apple FaceTime server so I've been using only AppleID to place FaceTime calls (no phone number used) and it's been working fine up to now. But if you go into FaceTime settings of my iPhone you see 'Activation unsuccessful.'
Can anyone confirm if you can place calls from Mac with having FaceTime activated only by AppleID (no cellular phone number) on your iPhone?
Thanks.

I was able to get it worked after enabling iMessage/FaceTime with my phone number. This issue made me to find out a way to do that -)
In case you are with WIND (Canada) here is the solution to activate FaceTime:

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 am not able to make outgoing call from my Nokia ...

Hi,
Today I observed one weird thing, I am not able to make any outgoing call from my Nokia C7 with Vodafone Sim inside it. After sometime I put some other card and It started working fine. I thought the problem is with Sim hence I put my Vodafone Sim in other phone and It also worked fine.
Whenever I am trying to make call from Nokia C7 with old Vodafone Sim it gives error "NO ANSWER".
But I dont understand that why Nokia C7 is not working with Vodafone Sim which was inside it since I purchased the phone.
Please help as Vodafone customer care has nothing to do as Sim is working fine with other phones.
Regards,
Firoz Shaikh

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.

Back to my Mac don't work

I have 4 computers at home and Back to my Mac don't work with the Mac mini.
I only get there with FTP client, and in Finder appears the address not the name of my computer.
What is wrong ?

Re-pair them using 'Set Up Bluetooth Device' from the Bluetooth icon in the right-hand side of the menubar. (If that's not there enable it System Preferences>Bluetooth).

HT204384 my sd slot card of my mac don't work . i don't know why! can you help me

my sd slot card of my mac don't work . i don't know why! can you help me

If it doesn't work with any sd card you insert into it then you can try a smc reset and a pram reset but if that doesn't work then the slot has failed. the only way to get that fixed is to replace the main circuit board, the logic board, which is very expensive. That is unless your mac still has a warranty on it then it would be free.
If you have no more warranty then just buy a sd card reader that connects to the computer by usb port.
