When I FaceTime my wife from iPad her iPhone rings but not our Mac book pro. They both used to ring. Mac book pro FaceTime doesn't seem to be able to send or receive FT calls

When calling from the Mac book pro it shows up on my iPad and will say connecting but never connects. On the Mac book it just keeps ringing

I can't believe it!!  But this answers my question.  I pair up quickly between my iphone5 and iMac, but cannot transfer pics from my iphone to the iMac over Bluetooth as I expeceted I would easily be able to do.  After all, I did this with my old Mac and a simple Motorola cell phone years ago.
So, the answer is that file transfer from iphone5 is not supported.  Really!!
Not sure why capabilites have regressed, this is disappointing, but thanks for the answer, at least I know to stop beating my head against the wall searching for some hidden box to check.  This seemed like such an obvious capability between Apple devices I couldn't understand why I was having such difficulty.  It seemed like it would be seamless, but it can't be done.  Baffling.

    The templates are stored locally.  If you want to move a template then you can open the tempate on the machince where they already exist, then save as a file (let's say on you desktop), then email, or move (using a flash drive) to the Mac mini.
    Open the file on the mac mini and save as a template.
    I do not have Numbers on an iOS device so I cannot say how to get it to your iphone.  I would think you can share the document using iCloud then open from iCloud on the phone and save as a template.

    MMS is a carrier issue... contact Verizon and ensure your account is provisioned correctly.  I would think that someone would be intelligent enough to do that before buying a new device, but......
    iMessage could be an activation issue or a network issue.
    Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
    Does iMessage work consistently on Wi-Fi?

  • Apple TV; sharing to my iPad and iPhone works but not to wife's iPad or iPhone?

    My apologies, I have been searching FAQ's and couldn't find any resolution - it is late for me!
    Purchased new Apple TV (2nd gen) last week and after solving slow internet issues set up all content to be "home shared" to my devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4) - GOOD!  Unfortunately nothing is being shared to my wife's iPad 2 or iPhone 3GS from the Apple TV but is being shared from the iMac to her devices- BAD! 
    We make all purchases on my iTunes account but also use my account for "home sharing" on my wife's devices, all settings APPEAR to be the same.  I did notice that in iTunes, under "Store", "my account", "manage my account" that only my iMac, iPad and iPhone show up as devices "In the Cloud".  If I click "manage devices" I don't have an option to add more devices (wife's iPad and iPhone).  How can I add them so they receive content from Apple TV as well?
    The only work-around I have figured out is to download the purchases that were originally made on the Apple TV in my iMac iTunes and then they are pushed to my wife's devices - not very elegant. Is there a way to use iCloud to push purchases from Apple TV to all of our devices or am I doomed to do this every time something is bought on Apple TV?
    Thank you for reading my tale of woe!!

    Have you checked the Console logs to see if the system or iTunes might be reporting an issue with your equipment?

  • Hi I am having trouble with iMessage on the mac book pro, it doesnt sync with the ipad and iPhone, both the ipad and iPhone do but not on the mac book pro , has anyone any suggestions, thanks in advance

    First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac.  Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up.  Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread.  It should work after performing those steps.  Good luck!

  • I just bought the new HDMI cord for the IPad, it works good but a small potion of the TOP and the BOTTOM is cut off. It doesn't seem to do it for movies. My monitor is a 23 IN' acer s series.

    I just bought the new HDMI cord for the IPad, it works good but a small potion of the TOP and the BOTTOM is cut off. It doesn't seem to do it for movies(although I can't really tell. My monitor is a 23 IN' acer s series. I just installed the drivers for my monitor with no change. I think I have a CD somewhere for my monitor maybe it has some kind of program in there that can help me. I can post a picture if I need to. Thanks

    No work around that I know of.

  • ICloud Calendars-Will sync from PC to iPhone 4 but not from iPhone 4 to PC.

    My calendar will sync through iCloud from the PC (Microsoft Outlook) to my iPhone 4 but not the other way around.

    Once you set your Exchange Calendar as the default here:
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to Default Calendar > Select your Exchange calendar
    All new events should be created in your Exchange calendar unless manually changed.

  • My phone isn't connecting to 3G and I can't send or receive phone calls or texts.

    So my phone just stopped being able to connect to 3G and stopped being able to send and receive phone calls and texts. It was working fine this morning and it shows that I have multiple bars "dots" but my 3G is reading 1x and says I can't make a connection. What should I do?

    If you have looked where James suggested and you are saying that the phone number does not appear in there at all, you can add the phone number to the iPad but you may need to sign out of Messages on the iPad AND the iPhone.
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
    On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
    Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

  • HT201335 AirPlay Mirroring is working from iPad and iPhone, but not from Macbook Pro.  How to fix?

    I can see and activate AirPlay Mirroring from Macbook but nothing displays on the TV when mirroring is activated (screen changes from Apple TV menu to blank screen only).  I have 3rd generation Apple TV and a brand new Macbook Pro, so AirPlay Mirroring is supported by both devices.  I can display video content on the TV from my MacBook from iTunes by selecting to display on Apple TV instead of my computer, but it does not work for mirroring.
    For reference, when I activate AirPlay Mirroring from iPad or iPhone, it works perfectly and content is displayed on my TV.
    Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

  • Transferring Phone Book from iPad to iPhone 5S

    Hello, I'm trying to tranfer phone book on ipad to iPhone 5S. I defined the same icloud accounts in both. I connected to wi-fi. But still cannot syncronize. I also tried connecting iPad to itune. Backed up. Restored from iPad to iPhone. Did not work.
    How can I start the syncronization of iCloud manually? What can be the problem? One thing on my mind. iPhone 5S is IOS 7.0.4 but ipad is still the old style. Can that be a problem?
    Thank you in advance for your support!!!

    If you are reffering to photo stream...
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
    If you are reffering to restoring from back up...
    When you restore from back up, the process will restore the OS and some initial data, it will then restart and allow you to use your device while the remaining data is downloaded and restored in the background. have you allowed enough time for this to complete.

  • I have update my iphone 4 and my Mums they both use the same apple id and are both backed up to icloud now her contacts are on my phone.

    Hi I updated my iPhone 4 and my Mum's iPhone 4 to software version 5.0. They both use the same apple id and they are both backed up to iCloud. Once I updated my mum's phone i noticed that her contacts are now on my phone i deleted some of them but then she noticed that they had been deleted off her phone to. Has anyone got any ideas please. 

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your password for logging into iCloud cant be different than your password for your Apple ID if you use that Apple ID to log into iCloud, it sounds as though you are using 2 accounts.
