Why can I make FaceTime calls from my iPhone but not from my Mac?

Facetime on my Mac sets up properly, links to my contacts, and appears to make calls (i.e., it "rings"). But it doesn't actually connect to the other person. However, I can make Facetime calls on my phone. Huh?

  • I can print from my iPhone but not from my iPad

    I Can print from my iPhone, but not from my iPad.  The options
    select a printer and number of copies are active.  The print
    button is not active ( hot ).

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop

    HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop. I get an error stating "unable to communicate with printer"

    Hi Melatina66,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that when trying to print from your laptop that you get a communication error message.
    To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
    1)       How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet or wireless)?
    2)      When you installed the printer on your laptop did you set it up with a USB cable?  If  yes, did you switch the connection type on the laptop from USB cable to ethernet/wireless?
    3)      What version of Windows operating system are you running on the laptop (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, etc)?
    4)      When printing from your iPhone are you using Apple's AirPrint or HP's ePrint app?
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Happytohelp01

  • My iphone is full with downloaded music!  how do I delete it from the iphone but not from itunes?

    I am having a really hard time with music.  I subscribed to itunes match and my iphone emptied out.  then I started downloading music from the cloud, but the process went out of control and now the iphone is full.  I need help here.  Music management with apple more difficult than it should be.

    with about 3000 songs kinda cumbersome.  it does not seem to work with albums.  I guess I just have to be patient?

  • Why can I use my iCloud alias on iPhone but not on iPad?

    Tried this
    Use the OTHER option instead of iCloud or MobileMe. Use the alias as the email address.  Incoming mail server is mail.me.com. User name and password is your primary acct name. Outgoing server is smtp.mail.com.
    Doesn't work. Server rejects alias
    Suggestions?

    Yes.

  • TS3367 I can make FaceTime calls on my iPhone 4 but I can't receive them. When people FaceTime me nothing happens?

    I Can make FaceTime calls on my iPhone 4 but I cannot receive them. When people FaceTime me nothing happens on my phone at all?

    no what I meant was I have read through what information it gave me when I asked the question and other than checking my wifi or checking my iMessage is on or checking my number and email address was correct I didn't think that the information applied to my specific problem so that is why I asked the question? I asummed it would be something simple and silly that I am doing wrong. I have not spoken to any technicians, I am new to this site and you can probably tell I'm not that knowledgable with technology so I apologise if I have put you out, I don't feel your rudeness or your sarcasim towards me was necessary.  Don't worry I will go into an apple shop and ask instead.

    Depends on your carrier and data plan.
    With ATT in the US for example, you can FaceTime via ATT's cellular network if you have a shared data plan only.

  • Why can't I record calls with the iPhone?

    Hi,
    Why can't I record calls with the iPhone? Every other mobile can! That's quite pitty ...!

    Nonsense. There are many places where you are not allowed to take photos or video but those functions are included. Apple assumes no responsibility for them. Apple would not be responsible for managing the recordings on the phone either. It's most likely because Apple is located in California and in THAT particular state, both parties have to be informed of the recording. Most states do not require that. If Apple were located in another state (e.g. Alaska) there would be no restriction.
    All the apps that record calls store those recordings in their servers and charge you a fee. It would be preferable to have the calls stored only on the phone so no one else could access them. The iPhone has the technological capability; we have just been restricted from having this functionality without paying a 3rd party.

    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?

    What format of MPG is this?  Is this an MPEG1 or MPEG2 video?  How was the video created?
