Why Can't I make FaceTime cellular calls on my Mac anymore?

For some reason I can no longer make FaceTime audio calls on my Mac.  I receive the following error on my Mac : "IPhone Calls Not Available.  Your iPhone must use the same iCloud and FaceTime account." 
Of course my iPhone does use the same iCloud and FaceTime account as I have set up on the Mac.  I've tried logging out and logging back in.  Unchecking and rechecking all of the contact boxes.  Nothing.
Please advise

Disregard,
I had to turn off FaceTime on my iPhone, then turn it back on and change the caller ID from my e-mail address to my phone number.  This brought up an option on the computer asking if I wanted to use the phone number with FaceTime.  That solved the problem.
Crazy.

    For that you have to talk to your carrier, what did they say?

  • Why can't I make FaceTime to work?

    Hello --
    Maybe someone with more expertise than me could help me with FaceTime.
    Running OS X Yosemite (from a clean install).
    iMessages synch work very good. I receive a lot of messages during the day, and when I get home and turn my Macbook on, I see every message I received and replied to, and even the ones that I have deleted.
    But nothing happens with regards to FaceTime. I can make calls from the Mac, but when the iPhone rings and the Mac is on and in range, nothing happens. Not a single notification although I have set Notification Center to show alerts and sounds. Life if they could not establish a link between them. iPhone Cellular calls is set to on, and no further messages appeared.
    My Macbook is Handoff UNsupported. Handoff is set to off on the iPhone.
    Any ideas of what could be wrong? Is there a setting or a preference file I need to modify?
    Do I need to have FaceTime running in the background all the time in both my devices?
    This feature of being able to receive and make calls right up from my Mac is the one I was really looking forward to.
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Mark.

    Can't give you an answer cos I have the same problem for a long time.
    Seems that no body has a solution for it. No help at all from Apple.

  • Why can't I make a phone call after updating to iOS7?

    Since updating, anytime I try to make a phone call it appears that the phone connects but I cannot hear anybody on the other end.  All I hear is my own echo?
    Has anybody else had this experience?
    Any ideas?
    Help!!!!

    That screen is telling you the iPhone has entered the recovery mode...you must follow the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to attach to a computer running iTunes, in summary:

  • Why can't Apple make 'publish changes only' for non .mac users?

    The recent iWeb update to 1.1 and the now increasingly obvious differential between .mac and non .mac features has prompted me to post here today.
    I can understand comments, passwords and search facilities being a .mac only experience because it requires server side technology. I can also understand that .mac users get enhanced features like slideshows as well.
    But why is the fundamentally *basic* option to 'publish the changes only' not available to non .mac users?
    I know uploading to .mac uses a different protocol to uploading via FTP, but I don't think it is about that. Obviously the software engine in iWeb 1.1 can now track the pages that have changed, and flag those for uploading. So if the facility to do this is not available with non .mac uploading, is this some form of crippleware? Can any software engineers comment on this or am I talking off the top of my head? [And please mods, don't delete this post - I use the word 'crippleware' in its harshest form, clearly I can still use iWeb to make fantastic websites - I am asking a technical question here.]

    OK, from reading this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=486335&tstart=0
    There is a pattern: An error occurred while publishing file “/blah/blah", while file "/blah/blah" seems to be random from one person to the next, but they all share one thing and that is communication protocol.
    For iWeb to be able to publish changes to .Mac, it has to:
    1. identify if the file exists
    2. do the following:
    2a. if not exists, copy it to .Mac
    2b. if exist, do some sort comparison - CRC checksum -
    2b1. if checksums match, don't copy
    2b2. if checksums don't match copy it to .Mac
    At least I think that's what going on, I don't have .Mac so that is best I can think of. Perhaps, some Apple SW engineers can jump in here.
    Now, the bad part is iWeb has to (and I'm assuming iWeb uses WebDAV):
    1. go thru each file locally
    2. crawl its way into .Mac (WebDAV is a slow protocol) to find the the counter part.
    3. when it finds a file that matches a client side file, it has to (some how) do checksum on-the-fly across the net work (which is slow and congested)
    #3 is I think where it failed, there are many factors here: 1) networks congestion 2) latency 3) protocol overhead 4) checksum calculation time etc...
    iWeb eventually times out because any/all of the above.
    It's nice that WebDAV can author to the host yada, yada, but it's so SLOOOOOW.
    What I would do is for every publishing, I would build a files and their checksums keep it on the host (or local, must be hidden).
    For subsequence publishing, I would (use a fast protocol like FTP) download this pre-built files/checksums list. Locally, do a full publishing, making checksum comparison, the result is delta changes; upload only those. Build a new files/checksums list upload that too.
    What I mean to say is offload everything that is possible to local machine, bandwidth is PREMIUM!

  • Why can't I make any calls on facetime, the call drops after saying connecting.

    Why can't I make any calls on facetime, the call drops after saying connecting for a few seconds. I'm using an iphone 5, 32 GB on IOS 6.0.1 over 3G network in Muscat, Oman. Just to be clear, I was able to make facetime call in Muscat about a week ago.

    Why can I not make a call or receive a call using my earbuds/mic?

    I have the exact same problem.  I just updated to 4.3.3 and now my inline controls on my earphones don't work.  The earphones work, but the controls don't.  It doesn't even recognize that there is a mic attached.  Even with the earphones in it still uses the built in mic. Why did my controls stop working?!

  • Why do i constantly get cut off on calls.  I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5.  When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone?  is there an App for that !!

    Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

    Why can´t i use face time call with on my ipod touch with ios6

    iTech, First change your apple password, than go to 'setting' and than click on 'Facetime' and make sure your facetime email is right than retry. Also calling apple support can help you or the best way is to go down to the apple store for direct help. I really hope that what i have told you have helped and try to reset your iphone.

  • Why can't I make a disk Image??

    getting Leopard tomorrow. system working great. plan to do an "upgrade installation". backed up all my files (106GB) to an external HDD. so I think I'm ready....
    question is - why can't I make a disk image of my "Macintish HD"?
    it starts to create the image but Disk Utility comes back and says "Unable to create disk0s2.dmg. Resource busy."
    I thought it might be a good idea to do a "complete system backup" just incase something goes wrong with the "upgrade installation".
    Since it didn't let me, I just dragged-n-dropped the Users folder to the external HDD, so I got my files backed up.
    curious why I can't make a disk image of my WHOLE HDD. can someone enlighten me....
    thanks, chris
