"My phone and Mac are on the same wifi and I have everything enabled -- the allow calls on other devices on my iPhone and calls from iPhone on my Mac. Every time I try to call from the computer it says to put my devices on the same wifi even though they are."

Troubleshooting Calls on a Mac:


A. Create a New User:

What happens when you create a new user (for temporary use)? Are you able to access the this with that user? If so, then it is a mis-confirmation somewhere in your current user.


B. Boot in Safe Mode:

In Safe Mode, login items do not load upon boot, and damaged files (i.e. caches) are rid of and fixed, if existent.

As for when to hold shift:

  1. Shut Down: the Mac
  2. Wait: 30 Seconds:
  3. Power Up: the Mac
  4. Hold Down: shift key when you hear the boot chime.
  5. Proceed with the login
  6. Wait: 30 Seconds:
  7. Shut Down: the Mac
  8. Wait: 30 Seconds:
  9. Power Up: the Mac
  10. Login: as Normal


C. Perform New iCloud Sessions:

Sign out of iCloud on all of your devices, and then sign back in, one device at a time. Perhaps it all needs to resync?
