Why can't I receive FT calls on MacBook Pro, but can on iPhone 5
I am able to accept and interact when I answer face time calls on my iPhone 5, but my MacBook Pro call will fail. My MBP is just a year old. What could be the issue? Suggestions?
Hi russraman,
I've been having that issue off and on lately, but I'm certain it's my cable provider and not my Mac. You probably see the Wifi indicator with an "!" in the middle of it? It means that the Wifi was able to get onto the network, but not to make an internet connection because of a bad IP address.
So, to resolve my issue, I have to reboot my router. Give that a try to see if it clears it up for you.
Cheers,
GB

Why does my google calendar sync perfectly to iCal on my Macbook Pro but not my iPhone 4?
The question as title is basically my problem. Before I got my MacBook Pro I used my iPhone 4 (with iOS 5) to use the iCal app to edit my google calendar. Events synced perfectly. After getting my MacBook Pro things still seemed fine as well. I was editing my calendar on iCal on my MacBook Pro, on Google's on-line Calendar App from other computers, and also on my iPhone 4 through the iCal App. Suddently events were not syncing any longer. I don't know what is the problem. Things changed on iCal on the MacBook Pro still syncs to Google's online Calendar App and vise versa, but I can't do a thing with my iPhone 4 iCal.
Any suggestions? I've tried deleting and resyncing my google account to my iPhone without any success.
Thanks in advance.
BarryHi Matt,
I found my own solution to this problem and I think you can get it to work as well. The thing is that you'll need to make your Google calendar your only calendar. This means that you'll not want to have a Home or Work iCal because that stuff may not sync well with your Google calendar, but the Google Calendar data will appear within iCal on your iOS and Mac computer without any problems.
Before you do any thing I suggest, you must make sure that everything that you want on your calendar is on your on-line Google calendar. If something is not there and you want it there, the thing you'll need to do is manually add it. There is no work around that I have found for this.
Next, on your computer:
1. Go to System Preferences > iCloud
2. Make sure that Calendars is not selected. You don't want your computer or iOS devices to be confused with the iCal Home / Work, etc. calendars. So let's not sync them.
3. Go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars
4. Delete Your Google account there
5. Go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars
6. Re-add your Google account
Now you should be able to go into iCal on your computer and find that your Google calendar is there.
You will need to do a similar thing with your iOS device.
1. Settings > iCloud > Turn off 'Calendars'
2. Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Delete Gmail Account
3. Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Re-add Gmail Account
This should make it so that you can use your Google calendar and it will be synced to your Mac computer, iOS device, and the Internet (Google's Calendar Website).
You can see that this is in a sense a workaround in that you can't sync your iCal Home/Work calendars (or other calendars) created with iCloud to Google. I'm thinking that's the problem I ran into before. Anyway it works for me because I only need the one calendar and others are using Google that I need easy access to.
Let me know if you run into problems and remember you need to confirm that all your data is saved on the google calendar on-line (you can check through Google's website) before doing any of the steps above. -

Does your mic work in System Preferences?
System Preferences > Sound > Input
There is an Input Level meter that should light up when you talk. Just to make sure your mic and Mac are working.
Which mic are you using? Are you using the built in mic on an Apple Display? I have Apple's LED display and every time I use Facetime, as in place or take a call, the mic input volume gets reset to a level so low, people can't hear me. I have to manually raise the mic volume back to where I had set it. When I end the call, Facetime resets the volume back to where I set it. If I don't reset the mic volume level on each and every call, people can't hear me.
I called Apple on this. They downloaded a log file tool to my Mac and took some logs. Then they called me back and said this works as designed. Incredible.
So, if you are using Apple's LED display, this may be your problem. Note that the mic volume level gets set low and reset back only during a call. If you check it before a call and then after a call, it looks fine as if nothing changed. Open up the Sound prefernces and watch it get reset in real time. -
Why does a utube video show on my MacBook Pro, but not on my iPad?
Hello,
My MB Pro runs Mavericks, ver.10.9.4, my iPad is an iPad4 ver. 7.1.2 (11D257), Model: MD512B/A, 64GB Retina. Browser: Firefox ver 32.0.1
I use iWeb 3.0.4 (601) to run my website: http://www.lakesweddingmusic.com
On my website, I have three uTube videos, which run perfectly fine on my laptop, but one of them - the first one on the site, with the picture of a bride - refuses to load on my iPad. I have used exactly the same method for importing the HTML code for all the videos, yet the first video just will not appear on the iPad for some reason. I have no idea why this should be the case. When I first uploaded the video to uTube and imported the code to iWeb, it worked for a while, but now - nothing.
Any help would be most appreciated.Region Code 4:

Apparently my first response was off in left field. The DVD player has its own code. My recommendation is to change the code when it asks. It is possible that the disks that play correctly are region-free and the ones that don't have a region code. If this does not work, you still have four more changes available; you won't be stuck with the new code. -

Check that your phone settings are not set to remove messages from your server after downloading.

When I try to FaceTime my sister, she doesn't receive the call on her end, but if she facetimes me I always receive hers. Is this a problem on my end or hers?
Have her check her "You can be received at ..." settings (Settings/ FaceTime) to see what she's set up as the points of contact to reach her via FaceTime (can be one or multiple e-mails or a phone number). Perhaps you're trying to FaceTime her on an e-mail or phone number which she's not using for FaceTime.

Why don't I receive iMessages on my iPad when sent to my iPhone? When I send messages from my iPad, they show up on my iPhone, but doesn't hold true the opposite way?
Ok. So I figured out that I can add the email address to my iPhone 4s to receive the iMessages sent/received from my iPad. How do I get the messages on my iPad that were sent to my iPhone? Is it possible?

How do I stop receiving messages on my macbook pro and receive them on my iPhone 5s?
I have a macbook pro 13 inch with Retina display and intel core i5 and I also have an iPhone 5s. When I receive a new iMessage I only receive it on my macbook and not on my iPhone. I wanted to know how to go back to receiving messages on my iPhone and not on my macbook. The iMessage setting on my phone is off but i carry on receiving messages on my macbook. Can anyone help me please.
If you set your imessage off on your phone it will only turn it off on your phone i think I don't think it effects your mac. I'm not 100% sure on this though.
If you want to remove imessages from your mac - Open iMessage, go to Messages top left, and then select Preferences. Select "Accounts" and then simply "Sign out" That should do it. -
