Receive Facetime Call on Mac when screen off

I have an imac 2007 intel, and macbook pro 2010, both running yosemite.
I have no problems seeing I have an incoming facetime call if the mac is on, or the screen is locked.
On both macs I have no way to tell there is an incoming call if the screen is off. The macs are on not sleeping.
Is there anyway to tell there is an incoming call if the screen is not on.
thanks

  • Can i receive facetime calls after locked the screen for 5 minutes?(i still connected to an open wifi network)

    I pressed the power button to lock my ipod touch,then I go to watch TV. Can I  receive facetime calls though locking the screen for 5 minutes or longer?
    I hope apple can let the ipod touch's wifi still connected though the screen is locked for a long time

    Yes,

  • Can't receive FaceTime calls on Mac

    I can't make or receive Facetime calls on my Mac. It looks like it tries to answer but then gets rejected. When I tested it w/ my iphone it said that the caller was busy (when nothing was going on on my mac). Does this happen to anyone else and is there a fix for it?
    And before someone posts it, I've already gone thru the basic troubleshooting instructions so just dont send it please...

    Did you eventually get it to work? If so what did you do?

  • Ipod touch won't ring receiving FaceTime call when in standby

    I am trying to FaceTime one touch from another. If the one receiving the 'call' is in standby it will not ring. If I take it out of standby or disable locking then it rings normally. I am assuming this is because it loses the wifi connection when sleeping? Is there a way to keep it connected? Is there a way to receive FaceTime calls when in standby mode?

    Welcome to Discussions, mjl4321
    My iPod touch rings and displays the incoming FaceTime screen from sleep. Yours should, too.
    Here are some things you can consider:
    • If you are using both on the same LAN, try moving one to another wi-fi location. Some users report problems when using more than one FaceTime device simultaneously on the same LAN.
    • If you have multiple devices on your network, check with your ISP for this possibility:
        http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2460
    • Might you merely not be hearing the call? I changed my ringtone to a louder sound and turned the ringer volume to maximum so my partially deaf ears could hear the call if I happened not to be looking directly at my iPod when a FaceTime request was received.
    • Do you have a solid wi-fi connection with minimal interference? I occasionally need to refresh my wi-fi connection. In my case, I think this is due to interference from my nearby neighbors, but interference can be caused by portable phones, microwave ovens, and a variety of other electrical sources:
        http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1365
    To refresh, turn Settings > Airplane Mode ON and then immediately back OFF.
    Of course, if you lose wi-fi while your iPod is sleeping, you will not know when you need to reset. However, if connected apps ever stop working while you are using them, this may be your problem during sleep, too. You can try the suggestions in the link above to see if you can eliminate the problem.
    • If nothing works for you, ask your retailer or Apple Authorized Service Provider to check whether your iPod may need service.
    BTW, your posted system info shows "new ipod touch  iOS 4". If this is correct, you should update to iOS 4.1. If it is wrong, you can correct the info in the "My Settings" link in the upper right part of the page whenever you are logged into Discussions.

  • Io7 on iphone 4s hangs when i receive missed call alert in lock screen?

    io7 on iphone 4s hangs when i receive missed call alert in lock screen?

    my son had this problem.  I went to the apple store and they wiped out and restored the phone..  They said that was all they could do but that I should call our phone carrier and ask them.  I did.  They asked if in the top left side, next to battery power there was a icon of a half moon.  There was. They said to go in to settings and go to "Do not Disturb" and turn it off.  I did.....problem solved!!! Somehow "do not disturb" was turned on and that is what happens if it is!!
    I hope this helps.

  • I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, both of which are set up for facetime. When someone calls me, both the iPad and phone ring, even though the phone is set to receive facetime calls on the number and the iPad is set for an email account. why is this?

    I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, both of which are set up for facetime. When someone calls me, both the iPad and phone ring, even though the phone is set to receive facetime calls on the number and the iPad is set for an email account.
    How can I change the setup so on the email only the iPad rings and on the phone number only the phone rings?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • When i get a call on facetime in my mac when i recieve it an  box will pop up and say facetime quit unexpectedly

    when i get a call on facetime in my mac when i recieve it an  box will pop up and say facetime quit unexpectedly

    I just want to add to this, in case someone else searches for this error on Apple Support (google doesnt cover apple support.. how clever is that?)
    I had the same error. And i had a Computer that had worked, with a SSD drive and 16GB upgrade done by the owner himself.
    I tried swapping with a Mechinal Harddrive, no luck.
    Kept the Mechanical drive in, and tried with some other Ram, it worked..
    So for me this error and after reading the other responses can be boiled down to a Harddrive problem or Ram issue.
    It was Ram for me..

  • I receive Facetime call and when i accept the call. Nothing happen ! I often use Facetime with this friend without problems. The same happen on my iPad...

    I receive Facetime call and when i accept the call. Nothing happen ! I often use Facetime with this friend without problems

    I'm having similar issues.  The iPhone4's face time works just as it always did but the iPad4 is not working.  I can place a call but it won't connect, others can call and it rings but never connects.  I've signed in and out of iTunes, removed and reinstalled the wifi, hard restart, and anything I can think of.  It's driving me nuts!

  • Having trouble receiving FaceTime calls on my iPad2

    Can not receive FaceTime calls. I can make calls only. What is up

    Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues. The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in System Preferences/Network on your Mac or Settings/Wi-Fi on your iPad will override the router settings. In this case it may be an issue with the other party. Suggest these settings to them.
    Try either of these;
    OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
    Google Public DNS
    8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4

  • On my iPod touch, I can receive FaceTime calls but can't initiate them. Thoughts?

    On my iPod touch, I can receive FaceTime calls but can't initiate them. Thoughts?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
