iPhone continuity calling works from my iPad but not my Mac. Yosemite 10.10. iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1 Using same Apple ID, everything turned on in FaceTime and iPhone per instructions. Both on the same Wi-Fi network
Get this message: IPHONE NOT AVAILABLE, your iPhone and Mac must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
They are on the same network.
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Hi, I have a MacBook Pro and use the calling feature too, recently I had changed the caller ID settings on my iPhone for FaceTime. That was it.
Later the problem started where I couldn't accept calls on my MacBook, as soon as I accept the call it fails. And also making calls from MBP always showed call failed.
I was receiving messages(both iMessage and SMS), only the calling feature was not working.

||THIS WORKED FOR ME||
Setting on iPhone-->Go to FaceTime-->Caller ID-->Should be Ticked on the Cellular number and not the email IDs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------
As soon as ticked on the phone number and tried making a call, I accepted it on my MBP and IT WORKED!!!
Also, I tried making a call from MBP using iPhone ("tried it again") it works.
No need to change anything in your MBP FaceTime preferences, no need to turn off and on FaceTime.
All this happened because I changed my FaceTime caller ID from my Phone Number to my iCloud email ID and since then the calls started getting failed.
As far as everything was working perfectly fine and stopped all of sudden after making changes on the FaceTime in your phone this method should work for you.
Give it a try.
It was my firewall settings. They were too secure.. Advanced Settings. When I unchecked that everything went back to normal
Thank You GrumpyPants! I rarely find solutions in here these days. This has been a nice surprise. Unchecking "Block all incoming connections" fixed it.
I just had to turn FaceTime off on my iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1.3, then I turned it back on and my MacBook Air running Yosemite associated my phone number with my iCloud account and now it works.
Hi....I found the solution to this on my MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite and now everything is working perfectly and reliably.
In the days after installing Yosemite on my MacBook, and before I even went to set up Continuity features and iPhone dialing from the Mac, I received a few pop-ups asking me to allow incoming connections for several system services. I was not doing anything that would have caused these pop-ups to show up at that time so I denied incoming connections for all of them because I didn't know what they were for.
Fast forward a few weeks and I was trying to set up Screen Sharing so that I could help my father with his Mac remotely, and we could not get it to work for the life of me. Kept getting connection errors, which eventually led me to the thought that all of those services I denied access to in the Mac firewall a few weeks earlier might be needed for Screen Sharing in the Messages app.
So I went into the Mac firewall and Allowed incoming connection on the following services:
Screen Sharing (enabled in Sharing in System Preferences)
awacsd
coreaudiod
FaceTime.app
identityservicesd.app
kdc
launchd
Messages.app
NETserver.app
sharingd
Not only did this get Screen Sharing working, but the iPhone calls from the Mac started working too. And it has stayed working since. Some of these are clearly related to the Screen Sharing feature so I can't identify which ones specifically got the iPhone/Mac calling working....but one or more of them certainly did because it only worked after I did this.
I did not change any setting on my modem or router.
I hope this helps someone out there because iPhone/Mac calling is pretty convenient....
Similar problem here:
My MacBook Pro mid-2010 running 10.10.2 has been able to receive phone calls via Continuity and my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.3. Today, for the first time, I tried to make an outgoing call from my computer, but wasn't able to.
I verified that both devices met the system requirements for outgoing phone calls. I then walked through each of Apple's troubleshooting steps, verifying that, yes, all my settings were correct. The last bullet says to log out and back in to iCloud, so I did. Upon logging back in, however, FaceTime no longer shows the option to turn on iPhone Cellular Calls—that option has totally disappeared from FaceTime > Preferences. And now, not only can I not making outgoing calls from my MacBook Pro, but I can't accept incoming ones either. I rebooted, but that didn't help.
After John Galt referred me to this thread, I
Alas, nothing worked.
Do you know if on the iPhone Settings > FaceTime should have an option for cellular calling? If so, it's disappeared on me too. Thanks again!
Any idea how I can get this function working? Thanks!
Had the same issue. Restarted Mac, iPhone and Apple airport extreme router and that seemed to have fixed the problem.
Please help ...
see my Link
I can open my iMac's FaceTime app and make a call to my iPhone and face time. BUT NO iPhone calls in my iMac ....
Did you try turning FaceTime off then back on?
Yes , No go
Thanks
PS
When a phone call arrive to my iPhone , it doesn't "follow" to my iMac ....No OS X Call notification
I see. So, you are running iOS 8 on your phone and Yosemite on your Mac right?
On the Mac:
, which is located in the Applications folder (or it could already be located in your dock).On the phone:
Thanks .
On the Mac:
I don't have "iPhone Cellular Calls"
Face Time open in Mac :
On the phone:
I don't have "iPhone Cellular Calls"
Turning OFF and On the iCloud account solve the issue
Thanks to Danial from Apple support !!!
PS
No need to use Bluetooth between iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.3 and Yosemite 10.10.2 ...
Glad that worked for you. I didn't for me. Where did you turn off your iCloud account (computer, iPhone, settings for the entire computer/phone, settings for just FaceTime)? Thanks.
This totally worked for me first shot! Thanks!
