TS5458 I cannot get phone calls on Mac to work

I have a 2010 mac mini and an iPhone 5s. both are on the latest softwares. when a call comes in, my Mac will alert me as it should in Yosemite. But if fails when i try to answer. i also get a failure when i try to make a call from my Mac. i have
restarted both the mac an iPhone
made sure bother using the same FaceTime and iCloud
turned off handoff and reenabled it
turned off and reenabled FaceTime cellular calling
so far nothing. the only thing that works as advertised is SMS on Mac from my iPhone
please help.

I have the top-of-the line 2013 MBP w/Retina that I just updated to Yosemite. I also have an iPhone 6+ 128Gb. They won't "handoff" and won't channel phone calls to my MBP like talked about.
I've tried everything I can think of in the changing of the settings but there doesn't seem to be any published list of setting requirements anywhere. It's all been SWAGs.
The two won't even pair over bluetooth.

5130 cannot get phone connection, using as modem

Recently purchased 5130 to use as modem for my laptop. Am using sim card from primary phone to access internet (primary phone has internet service), and connection with USB cable. Downloaded PC suite, have Vista OS. Have set specs to phone and internet provider (AT&T) but cannot get connection. Error display says cannot get phone connection. Phone works in phone mode, although cannot see contacts.
( I have a new bluetooth USB adaptor, but do not want to open package if I can get cable to work. No point in opening blue tooth yet as cannot even get phone connection.)
Any advice?

Hello, dthurnherr.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

I cannot recieve phone calls, SMS after 3.0 and credit is being eaten

On wednesday, like most iPhone users, i was waiting for 3.0, finally when it came i downloaded and everything seemed fine. But since then, i cannot recieve phone calls, nut sometimes i get the odd random phone call, SMS are extremely delayed or they dont even come at all. I've been looking at other forums for help. I have changed settings numerous times and i can recieve calls and SMS but i keep getting this message saying that i need 17p for internet roaming. I have never had this before. Long story short, got my iPhone for christmas, i used my old sim, mum used the other sim. Can anyone help me please?

yes. I've tried to reset and reboot 4 times since updating. Although, i've just posted in another thread a bit more relevant and it mentioned Push causing problems. Although mine was on (and always is) but is set to manual, (so you'd think it was like having it switched off). Anyway, i've switched Push to OFF (Settings> Mail, Contacts Calendar > Fetch New Data) and it seems to have solved it for now. How odd. The thread i mean is here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9661558#9661558

Cannot end phone calls on IPhone 5 by pushing END

Cannot end phone calls by using the END button, have re formatted for new phone 2 times, works for a short time and then stops working again have also re set Network settings Have contacted Apple and was told to re format as new phone which I did, still does not work long.

Howdy morrissign,
I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn how to silence your device. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on how to do that:
iPhone Buttons
Adjusting the Volume
When you're on the phone or listening to songs, movies, or other media, the buttons on the side of iPhone adjusts the audio volume. Otherwise, the buttons control the volume for the ringer, alerts, and other sound effects.
To adjust the volume, use the buttons on the side of iPhone.
Flip the Ring/Silent switch to change between ring and silent modes.
When set to ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. When set to silent mode, iPhone doesn't ring or sound any alerts or sound effects (alarms set using Clock do sound). By default, when you get a call, iPhone vibrates whether it's set to ring or silent mode.
If iPhone is set to ring mode, you can silence a call by pressing the Sleep/Wake button or one of the volume buttons once. Press a second time to send the call to voicemail.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

My family and I share the same account of apple. I'm getting phone calls and messages from my mothers and my number and vice versa. is there anything we can do

my family and I share the same account of apple. I'm getting phone calls and messages from my mothers and my number and vice versa. is there anything we can do

The short solution is to go to Settings > FaceTime > iPhone Cellular Calls OFF.
However, as Csound points out, you should not really be sharing an Apple ID with anyone. See: How to Stop Sharing an Apple ID.

HT203200 Cannot get into itunes via Mac keep getting error −50 ? help

Cannot get into itunes via Mac keep getting error −50 ? help please

Make sure your Mac's software is up to date.
Open system Preferences > Software Update > Check Now.
Restart your Mac after all updates are installed.
Then try iTunes.
Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

HT4061 cannot make phone calls, nor receive them

cannot connect to the internet, cannot receive phone calls or make them

try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
If that doesn't work then contact your cell provider.

Cannot make phone calls after update to iOS version 8.1.3

hi i do own an iPhone 6, it was a beautiful phone until i updated to iOS 8.1.3. Now i cannot make phone calls at times, the phone shows no network. I updated the OS from wifi, my mom owns an iPhone 5c it also has the same problem. please help

What you describe...
Two iPhones
Same issue
Same general physical location (your house?)
... sounds very much like " cellular signal dead spot " OR "radio frequency interference"
Test this by noting exactly where in your house that this takes place and also where it does NOT. Repeat until you have a "Map" of the good and bad spots.
You cannot do much about the cellular signal but may be able to troubleshoot the interference problem. This document talks about Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but the "Sources" might also apply to your cellular signal problem - radio waves are radio waves.

Please help after updating my iphone 4 to ios 5.01 I cannot make phone calls or receive phone calls anymore. I am so annoyed first battery and now can't make calls!

Please help after updating my iphone 4 to ios 5.01 I cannot make phone calls or receive phone calls anymore, please help, I am so annoyed first battery and now can't make calls!

The same thing is happening with my wife's iPhone 4 and we can't figure it out. When placing a call, the screen freezes and she needs to restart the entire phone.
She upgraded to 5.01 this morning over the air while it was plugged in. Immediately afterwards, this problem started happening. We've tried restarting the phone several times and plugged in to iTunes but there's nothing she can do do to fix it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

HT1414 cannot get phone signal

Cannot get phone sinal?

Make sure you put a valid sim card into the phone firstly and if you have, take it out and put it in again.
Other than that you need to contact your carrier regarding phone signals - a signal is the province of the carrier and nobody else.
Contact your carrier.

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 have recently update to the OS Maverik and I use a projector with a mini display port adaptor to my MacBook Air, ever since the only thing that projects is my desktop picture. I cannot get it to project my school work that I need to teach my students.

Not with your current user id.
Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

Why can't I get Back To My Mac to work in both directions between my 2011 Mac Book Air and my 2012 Mac Mini?

Why can't I get Back To My Mac to work in both directions between my 2011 Mac Book Air and my 2012 Mac Mini? The network uses a Time Capsule. Everything works when connecting from the Mini to the Air, but the reverse is not the case, none of the Mini's drives are visible, and the screen sharing option is not available. I've tried the measures already suggested in online articles, everything seems to be configured correctly using my iCloud account. I'm at a loss, any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've now managed to get the service running in both directions, but not in the way I had anticipated. I had to create a second account on the Mac Book Air, this also has administrator privilages, everything works fine when connecting from this acccount. However, this is not the way I would expect to work, none of my documents, applications and settings would be available, unless I laboriously duplicated them to the new account.
Also, I've yet to get the service running from outside my home network.
