TS3367 why does my face time ring on my mobile phone rather than my laptop?

Why does Face time come up on my iPhone rather than my MacBook Pro

What phone number or email address are they calling FaceTiming you with?
Is that number/address listed on the Mac in FaceTime>Preferences>Settings>You can be reached at?
Can you make FT calls on your Mac?

  • Iphone 4 Sync - Windows PC - Why does it keep removing what is on my phone rather than copying what is on my phone onto ITUNES?

    I have had my iphone for about two years now, i cannot for the life of me understand why every time i sync to itunes that it keeps wiping off what is on my phone.
    What i mean by this, i may have added a new phone contact or downlaoded a new game and placed on a specific page.  but when i sync it removes these and just copies back onto my phone whatever i last synce.
    Why the heck does it keep doing this.  i remmeber in the first year i had this, but there was a solution; something i had to tick within itunes.  I DONT KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
    Hope someone can help me.  i have purposly not sync my phone since last year because of it.
    HELP

    Thanks Turingtest2,
    I appreciate your response. I have done all of the things mentioned, but still when I click on "devices", the "transfer music" option is still not selectable. I see it, but can't select it.  I am running Windows 7 on my PC.
    However, one thing I read makes me take pause. At one point I did erase my computer back to factory settings using the mirrored image. We backed up all information and put the important stuff back on, but I don't believe we did anything with iTunes, so it's a possibility that the music that is in my library now, may only be music I have purchased since then. But, (thinking out loud) that was a while ago and I am pretty sure I have purchased more music than what is in my iTunes library, since then.  Maybe I will approach it from that angle and see what happens.
    It just doesn't make any logical sense that syncing goes from computer to device. Ostensibly then, my iPhone would only have the music that is on my computer after syncing and that is not the case. I still have all my music on my phone. I can see the new music that's on my phone get added to my iTunes library when I connect, which would make one think that syncing occurs both ways. I don't know. It's maddening. Maybe I should just follow my husbands advice and go to an Android. LOL. Or maybe I will take my laptop and phone to the Apple store and make them figure it out. Ha.
    If you have any thoughts about this, let me know. Thanks again.

  • Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can not figure out why there is NO sound when I get a text?

    Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can't not figure out why it does not make a sound, when I receive a text or typing???

    Deborah,
    The solutions on here did not work for me.   I tried.....
    I have the same problem with a BRAND NEW iPhone 5c version 7.1- no sound when a text message arrives.
    (1) I have "do not disturb" scheduled correctly.   No partial moon on the main screen near the time and battery indicator.
    (2) I have the ringer icon correct with no slash.    Yes I turned the hardward mute switch to the UP position (ie the one above the + and - buttons on the left side.   I tried messaging with the bell as shown and bell with a slash and neither work.   The mute switch is not red (switch above the + volume hardware switch)     I enabled some assistant using the Settings menu.    And I press the dot (looks like a target symbol) and go to Devices and I can see what position the bell is in....either a bell with a slash or no slash.
    (3) Yes ringtones are configured for text and other. I can hear them when I am under settings > sounds.   But they do not link with the actual hardware.
    (4) I rebooted the iPhone 5c by using the button at top, slide the red bar, then pressed it again, apple came up for a minute and it seemed to be back up.
    (5) I upgraded the IPhone 5c from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using my pc and itunes.   And the upgrade was successful but did not fix the text issue.
    (6) I do not have it in airplane mode or silent mode.
    (7) I reset all settings using Setttings > General > reset > reset all settings .  this wipes settings but not data and media.
    This is really frustrating.

  • Why does my iPhone only ring once?

    Why does my iPhone only ring once or not at all on incoming calls?

    It is probably because you have switched off the notifications alerts.
    Check in settings-notifications center-message and there select the alert sound.

  • Why is my face time coming from my iPhone instead of ipad

    Why is my face time coming from my iPhone instead of ipad

    Ksharf-
    The calling party may be using your iPhone's phone number to call you.  Otherwise, an E-Mail address is used as a phone number, so you must have a different E-Mail address for each device, and registered to the same Apple ID.  You might try completely turning off the iPhone and seeing if the iPad can receive FaceTime calls.
    If it works like an iPad, you would turn off the iPhone by holding the Sleep button for several seconds until the "Slide to power off" arrow appears.  To turn it back on, you would hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears.

  • How can I make face time ring at higher volume?

    Face time ring volume is too quiet. conversation is a little better. Can I set volume higher?

    I have been trying to increase the volume for facetime too on my mac book pro, but no luck at all.
    You cannot change the ringtone either.
    Any updates on that friendly users? I know that Skype has all those features, will apple make some changes too?
    I keep missing facetime calls from my family, because the ringer is not loud enough.
    Thanks to everyone in advance if you have an answer.
    Have a great day.

  • Why does gardens of time not allow feedback in the app store

    why does gardens of time not allow feedback in the app store

    Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com.  You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
    No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said.

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

  • I can not access face time or icloud on my phone they atr there but can not click on to use them????

    i can not access face time or icloud on my phone they atr there but can not click on to use them????

    These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
    First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
    b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
    c. Perform the following actions
    i. Right Click on Components Folder
    ii. Select Permissions
    iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
    iv. Select Advanced Button
    v. Select Owner Tab
    vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
    vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
    viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
    ix. Select Apply
    x. Select Apply again
    xi. Exit the Registry Editor
    Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time?

  • Why does my clip have a higher quality in the viewer than the canvas?

    When I am editing, I have noticed that sometimes my images and clips have a drastically higher quality in the viewer than the canvas/timeline, what is causing this, and how do I edit and export my films with the highest quality possible?

    >Why does my clip have a higher quality in the viewer than the canvas?
    The answer is very simple; the Viewer shows the media at its native resolution while the Canvas shows the media at the Sequence resolution.  I'd bet that in your case, the original media is of higher resolution that the Sequence in the Timeline.

    how i use facetime
    In order to use FaceTIme, you will need to purchase a device that has FaceTime enabled. In otherwords, not one from Saudi Arabia or any other country in which it is prohibited. Your phone will never be cable of FaceTime. You may be able to use something like Skype, though.
