Yosemite : Handoffs Problem

+1 re: everything.

latest PB worked perfectly. upgraded my Mavericks partition, now it's one way. spotty at best.

yup! same issue. although now it appears the "one-way" direction has changed. now Mac to iPhone works. but not the other way around.

😕

edit for system info:

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) - OSX 10.10

iPhone 6 - iOS 8.0.2

*update*

- turned off iPhone

- turned off Bluetooth on Mac

- waited a few minutes and turned Bluetooth back on

- waited a few minutes and powered on the phone

- works (two-ways)!

yep same issues. iphone 5 to mac did work, now stopped. but never got mac to iphone working. also not to ipad 3, cannt rember if ipad to mac worked, but no enable handoff option on ipad under General.

dosent seem as seemless as the demo yesterday.

is info stored in icloud or sent locally via Bluetooth?

as always Bluetooth not working, don't think ever has properly. devices cant see each other even side by side.

working now, though as pointed out ipad 3 not supported for handoff, hence no General - handoff option. Though can answer calls from iphone on ipad3. not sure handoff is worth an ipad upgrade just yet.

I'll be ****** -- I have a 5S with latest 8.x.x or whatever it is -- and upgraded my Mac from Mavericks to Yosemite.

Same as you -- seemingly, iPhone to Mac works fine but Mac to iPhone does not.

All my settings look correct, as you noticed for yourself as well.

I have a 5S on ATT and a Macbook Air; just bought the 13" version with 8GB of RAM a few days ago, actually.

I also noticed -- if you set Chrome as your default browser on Mac -- and then say, open a page on the iPhone, it'll show the handoff icon on the Mac and it'll open Chrome, as it should -- but Chrome opens to whatever is default; in other words, it doesn't seem to handoff properly unless your default is Safari.

I could use handoff fine in my beta, since yosemite its stopped, all is setup correctly bluetooth is on but can't carry on using safari on either iMac or 6 plus

Similar inconsistency for me, too.

I could AirDrop & Handoff from my Mac to the iPhone, but not the other way around.

I find rebooting my iPhone will temporarily fix the problem and restore proper 2-way AirDrop & Handoff.

But I think when you take the iPhone out of range, or reboot your Mac, or something (not sure what exactly, yet), it breaks the 2-way functionality.

(I'm using a mid-2013 MacBook Air on Yosemite 10.10.0 & iPhone 5 on iOS 8.0.2)

Same issue. Macbook Pro 2013, iPhone 6 iOS 8, iPad Air iOS8...bluetooth will not pair to any device. Devices showing up duplicated in Settings-> Bluetooth. None will pair and the 'Forget this Device' option is greyed out.

Not a great start. 8.1 maybe fixes?

Resetting PRAM helped my case which was similar. With the Mac OFF, turn on and immediately press option+command+P+R and keep pressed until you've heard the startup tone twice then release. You may have to re-pair devices after this

Interesting, so as of about 15 min ago -- seems to work much more consistently... and in both directions. For instance, composing this now and on my lock screen, I have a Safari icon so that is good.

Only complaint now really is the default browser deal. I want Chrome on my Mac to be default and when I 'handoff' from phone to Mac, it should work. It'll open Chrome, but Chrome opens to whatever it is configured for as far as start pages -- seemingly, doesn't do the handoff.

The rest of handoff seems to be working though now. Just literally started about 15 min ago. Maybe it was / is a server side issue?
