Problem calling Mac to Iphone?
I had this problem (I could call Iphone to Mac OK but not the other way round) and I found the solution was to EDIT entries inmy phone book to remove the . in any numbers! ie my phonebook entries were say 123.454.5656 and this would never work, as soon as I removed the dots it worked fine.
Simple eh? Wouldnt it be nice if Apple suggested this? I see there are hundreds of questions on here about connection on facetime. Good luck!

Manual backup problem to Mac with iPhone 5
Hello,
I've been trying to do a manual backup of my iPhone 5 to my Mac, but I keep getting an error message. I had even erased the phone and started over (to clear memory as well) but even that didn't help. I have the latest iOS installed (6.1.4). Can anyone help with this? It backs up to iCloud fine, but not to iTunes (also the latest version, 11.0.5). Thanks!

I recently purchase an ipad2. I also have a mac laptop. Now, when I facetime call using my iphone to my ipad2 or mac, it states busy. how can i fix this problem? I have the same apple id e mail for both ipad2 and mac. it might be getting confuse now. I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.
thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

How do I get FaceTime for Mac to stop ringing after answering an incoming call on my iPhone?
I have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled for iPhone and FaceTime and am able to make and receive calls splendidly with FaceTime. However, when I answer an incoming call on my iPhone, FaceTime will not stop ringing. This is a significant, loud, annoying issue for me, my caller, and everyone in my house. It rings for eternity, long after the call has ended, until the call notification on my Mac is either accepted or declined. FaceTime needs to know when the call is answered on another device and stop ringing. Is there any solution for this?
This works for me:
To turn off Phone Calling on your iPad or iPod Touch, go to FaceTime under Settings and switch off iPhone Cellular Calls. On your Mac, open the FaceTime app, then go to Preferences under FaceTime, and tap Settings. From there, switch off the iPhone Cellular Calls option.
Found it here:http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/131449-why-s-my-mac-taking-my-iphone-calls-how-t o-turn-off-apple-continuity
I realise it doesn't quite solve the issue of FaceTime "knowing" whether the call has already been answered on another device, which I agree is a flaw. But in my case, I don't want to receive regular phone calls on my Mac at any time. Only the very rare FaceTime call. So turning off cellular calls is a solution of sorts. -
Hello apple
I have the problem with my iPhone and my friends have this problem too.
My iPhone have the problem about calling and answer the call. When I use my iPhone to call I can't hear anything from my iPhone but the person that I call can answer it but when answer both of us can't hear anything and when I put my iPhone to my face the screen is still on and when I quit the phone application and open it again it will automatic call my recent call. And when my friends call me my iPhone didn't show anything even the missed call I'm only know that I missed the call from messages from carrier. Please check these problem I restored my iPhone for 4 time now in this week. I lived in Hatyai, Songkhla,Thailand and many people in my city have this problem.
Who have this problem??Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

My sister had a problem with call volume being too low on the iPhone 5S. Is the iPhone 6 louder? Is anyone else feeling that call volume on iPhone 5S isn't loud enough?
I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet? -
WPA Enterprise Problem Windows 7; Macs and iPhones working good
Dear Apple Discussions,
I have a strange problem within my corpoarte network. I have successfully setup airport base stations with wpa/wpa2 enterprise authentication against an open directory master on apple snow leopard server. Macs and iPhones can connect through this very easily and without problems. Windows Machines seem to have some trouble with this. I have a self signed certificate and a trusted certificate for the server, both are resulting in the same issues. The Windows clients cannot connect. There is no error message on the windows boxes. Here is a snippet from the logfile on the OSX Server radius.log:
Thu Aug 19 12:49:45 2010 : Error: TLS Alert read:fatal:unknown CA
Thu Aug 19 12:49:45 2010 : Error: TLS_accept:failed in SSLv3 read client certificate A
Thu Aug 19 12:49:45 2010 : Error: rlm_eap: SSL error error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3READBYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca
Thu Aug 19 12:49:45 2010 : Error: SSL: SSL_read failed inside of TLS (-1), TLS session fails.
This happens everytime and I did not find any possible solution within google search. Do you have any idea?
Thank you for any help!!
NicoNico,
I have run into this problem as well. One additional piece is that in addition to Macs and iPhones, we also have Android phones connecting with no problem.
The only solution we came up with was to force the windows machine, in this case Vista, to use only our network and eliminate all others. Of course for our windows user that was a problem when he went home because he could not connect to his own home network any longer.
Unfortunately, that resulted in giving up on the issue for us and forcing the windows guy to plug in via ethernet.

Handing off a call from the iPhone to the Mac using Continuity?
Why can't I hand off a call from my iPhone to my mac using continuity? Am I missing something? Does't seem to allow me to do this, just the other way around. Any suggestions?
When the call is already in progress it doesn't allow you to do that; just the other way around.
