I have Facetime on my MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone. Most of the time, I want to use Facetime on my Mac, but almost always, incoming calls only ring on iPad and iPhone, and don't ring on my Mac. I end up forced to answer on mobile device instead of Mac.
As far as I can see, FT is correctly enabled on my Mac. Any idea what may be going on?
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)
Set up iPhone Cellular Calls
Use iPhone Cellular Calls with any Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that meets the Continuity system requirements. It works when your devices are near each other and set up as follows:
- Each device is signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
- Each device is signed in to FaceTime with the same Apple ID.
- Each device has Wi-Fi turned on.
- Each device is connected to the same network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
- On iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices, then turn on Allow Calls on Other Devices.
- On iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime, then turn on Calls from iPhone.
- On Mac, open the FaceTime app, then choose FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings, then select Calls From iPhone.
Hm. Nope. Someone called me on FaceTime and hour ago, and it rang on both iPhone and iPad, and not a thing on my Mac. Handoff didn't seem to offer an option that way, either, even though it's enabled. I had to ask the called to hang up, and then I called back from my Mac, and it went through fine....
Thanks, Sarah. I've worked through all these and checked settings. Most of them were already correct, but perhaps one of the minor tweaks will make the difference! I will wait for the next call...
Incoming Facetime calls ring on iPad & iPhone but not my mac?
