phone call from Yosemite does not work

One thing I've noticed is if i leave to iphone for a while and then try and call it, the call does not transfer over to the macbook pro but if I've just used the phone in one way of another and then try and call to it the calls does get transferred over. Could it be that the phone once lock screen is on that wifi turns off? and that when a incoming call is on its way the phone does not always connect in time back to the wifi network or is the phone always connected to the wifi?

I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) and using iphone6 with IOS 8.1

1) I am on the same wifi and subnet

2) signed in on the same Apple ID both on Mac, Mac FaceTime, iphon6 and iphone6 FaceTime

3) enabled Cellular calls on iPhone and from mac

4) Handoff turned on, on both devices

5) Restarted everything more than twice

6) firewall allows connections

But STILL CANT MAKE CALLS or RECEIVE CALLS FROM MAC..... its says "iPhone Not Available, Your iPhone and Mac must be on the same Wi-Fi network"

Anyone knows whats going on???

Hi all,

finally i did what is mentionned here

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6601075?answerId=26861845022#26861845022

And now it is working !!!!

Here is something you can try. Make sure that IPv6 is set to Automatic and not Local-Link Only in Wi-Fi advanced preferences.

Not sure if that was just me or an actual fix.

Hello.

I updated iOS to 8.1 and now i can't activate under FaceTime call from iphone...

I get a message saying that I have to use the same apple ID for iCloud as for FaceTime.... I'm using it!!! I have only 1 account with apple.

Don't know whats wrong...

I also have this problem after upgrading to 8.1. I selected my email address in addition to the phone number in both MAC and FaceTime on iPhone. It works on and off. Now it doesn't work anymore. On iPhone, my FaceTime is waiting for activation. 😟

Hi, I'm having the same problem. I've got Yosemite installed on my late 2013 iMac and iOS 8.1 on my iPhone. They are on the same wifi and I'm using the same Apple ID. I have iPhone cellular calls enabled on the iPhone and allow handoff is on on the iMac. Text messaging forwarding on the iPhone *says* it's sending to the iMac. Only it's not. There's no communication between the two at all. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Dear all

I have MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) and iPhone 5s. I can make phone calls without any issue but I do not receive phone calls in the Macbook pro...not even notification for the call.

Can someone help me?

Regards

NE.

People are posting many solutions for fixes claiming it works. I have been on with Tier 2 support for over 7 hours past 2 days. Have a fully loaded iMac late 2012 that is suppose to work with handoff of calls. My calls do go through receiving but when i try to answer they fail. Have tried about 20 different remedies that have been posted not one works. Support has downloaded my computer files and sent to engineering hopefully they figure this out soon. It seems it is certain iMacs it won't not work on..We also have a late 2013 iMac and it works perfectly cans end and receive call on iPhone 6+ no issue. So it is either a hardware problem specific to that model or a software conflict on the 2012 iMac

same exact issue with me -- my files were sent to engineering and I hsould hear back tomorrow. I have a 2013 macbook air... have no clue why facetime calling isn't working - and I hardly have any add'l software on... but I do use citrix for work - was wondering if that was interfering.

Still the same issue with 8.1 .

CANNOT make a outgoing call.

I have everything setup right. I know this for sure.

incoming call actually works. just cannot make a outgoing call.

please help!

Same issue as you.... can get incoming calls - but I can't make outgoing calls. I have checked my settings a billion times... turned functions off and on, etc etc. I've tried every solution here. No success.

I think we need to call apple care. hopefully they see this.

I know it's not my setting. must be OS X bug.

an update: My macbook pro outgoing call works , but my new iMac 2013 does not work as out going call.

follow up:

I did not do anything but for some reason I was magically able to call from mac for about an hr then everything went back again... Cant call or receive calls from mac anymore.
