OS X Yosemite :: Dial Into Conference Bridge Via Facetime On IMac Through Paired IPhone?
Dec 5, 2014
I'm trying to dial into a conference bridge via Facetime on my iMac through my paired iPhone. I have no problems with regular calls this way but I can't get Facetime to make the correct tone through the # key. I've also tried Continuity Keypad and this doesn't work either. Is there a way to make the # key make the correct tone?
Info:
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10)
My Apple computer version 10.7.4 isn't sync'd up with my new I-Phone 4S Which I purchased lover the ast week sometime! I had iChat connected on my MacOX computer (version 10.7.4 ) before I bought the iphone last week... Now, when people dial me on iChat ...it rings on my cell phone and not my computer... How do I get it to ring on my computer too.Or if I can only use one device...I want it to ring on my computer!
I setup my new iMac (purchased 14 May 2014) with a whole bunch of FaceTime contacts. These are there in my FaceTime pane. I bought an iPadAir last week and also have an iPhone. On both these Apple devices I also entered some FaceTime contact data, tried both out and they worked just fine; that is they talked to each other and other people. As this information was slightly different on all three devices, I wanted them to automatically follow what I have on my iMac, so I plugged them both in to the iMac. I then (separately) did a Sync of both devices from iTunes, and all the data for FaceTime in both cases instead of being updated and streamlined/synchronized with my iMac has been wiped. automatically rather than have to enter and re-enter all the data again and again each time I do a Sync.
Note: when I did the Sync the music I added today went where it should, so there's no problem with connections, etc. On the Info page I've clicked on "Sync Contacts" which would seem to be what was necessary. Now when I try to Sync either of these devices, the Sync process goes on and on and never stops. I can't see any way of stopping it other than doing a Force Quit of iTunes - which is pretty useless as I will obviously want to Sync these and my other Apple devices again in the future. As a result of this neither of these devices will now Sync with my iMac, other than locking themselves into a cintinuous loop. As I've just bought both the iMac and the iPadAir I could contact Apple direct, but I thought I'd try here first.
My contacts are no longer syncing from my iMac to my iPhone, however they ARE syncing from my iPhone to my iMac. Both are signed in to the same iCloud account and both have contacts selected. This is fairly recent, possibly when I updated to Yosemite. What am I missing?

The iPhone is recognized but I can not get a connection. It says Bluetooth connection is not available. When I look at the network prefs, The "Bluetooth PAN" says not connected and will not connect. They are on the same router and my Bluetooth mouse works fine. I simply can not get them to pair. Advanced for Bluetooth PAN has to configure using DCHP for IPv4 and Automatically for IPv6. Nothing else is on that sheet. This is a late 2012 iMac. New iPhone 5 (warranty replacement). Phone shows it's on my network. Checked computer and it's on my network.

I have an iPhone 4 as well as a Mac loaded with the new Facetime beta - after all the fun of calling myself from my phone to computer and calling a couple friends from my computer it dawned on me that when someone wants to facetime with me, they have to know where I am at. If they call me via my email address they will get me on my Mac, but if they call me on my phone number they will get my phone...obviously - what I am saying is that by having 2 places to look it makes it difficult to just "call someone".
I understand that this is no different than finding someone at home/cell/office numbers, but there are features for those to locate you - I wonder if Apple has addressed this or will in the final release? I think what is needed is a way for facetime to have "find me" feature. I think that maybe it could "ring" in to the Mac first, then to the iPhone second, or vice vera depending on how you want it set in your preferences.
I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro with FaceTime included. Very excited to use this service with plenty of friends living across the country. However, much to my dismay the application does not connect to other devices. Here are the main points:Calling out from Mac simply rings, rings, rings, and rings to an iPhone 4 device but does NOT show on the person's device I am calling. Yes, they are connected to an open Wifi network, have FaceTime and use it successfully, and their FaceTime is set to receive at any given moment. The call is never registered on their device.Calling out from an iPhone 4 to my Mac it simply rings and rings but does not register on my computer as having missed a call.All attempts have been made using phone numbers AND email addresses linked to their Apple ID's with no success.Calling out from Mac sometimes shows the user as not available as I'm assuming they are not on a Wifi network, an open network, or their app is not set to receive calls at anytime.I have tried to FaceTime out from 2 seperate networks following the Wifi settings listed on Apple's support page and issue still persists.
I'm currently deployed to Qatar and trying to FT with my husband. It works fine on my iPhone, but when I try to use my Mac, it keeps telling me my e-mail could not be verified. I have already verified the e-mail and double checked on Apple ID to make sure it was verified.
Love iMessage on my iPhone. Would also like to be able to write a message on my Mac to send out to others. I do not use FaceTime, nor do I want to in order to send messages. What do I need to do?
So I updated to Yosemite and everything was going fine, I had my FaceTime, Messages and Contacts apps working away fine with my iPhone, was having no problems but in the last week or so the three apps refuse to open, I've tried restarting and even holding down alt-cmd-p-r after turning on but no good.
I've also just noticed that when I click on 'About this Mac' from the apple menu on the top left of the screen the window that usually comes up refuses to come up. Which I find quite weird and not sure if this is linked with the problem of the apps not opening.
My facetime was working fine until recently it asked for a login and this time when I did login with my Apple id, it prompted for email verification. However it is not able to complete the verification and keeps giving the following error message : Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again.
I have checked the support forums and they all point towards preferences. Problem is that the preferences option for face time is grayed out and I am not able to use them.

I am waiting for next iMac generation and not beacause I am playing waiting game - just can't afford one at the moment.
I am browsing this and few others forums to find an answer what we will see in next generation iMacs and I can see that most probably it would be Sandy Bridge CPUs.
Could someone exaplain me what is Sandy Bridge? What will be difference between it and current technology from normal end user perspective
Does anyone know of a program to video conference with three or more users (Mac and Windows). I tried skype but I can only figure out how to do audio, and I couldn't get ichat/aol to work either.
I know it sounds stupid trust me, but Im looking for a way to Bridge the iMac's built in Ethernet card to the built in wireless adapter.
I have a specific application that will not run over WIFI even though the speed is fine. It's a Support issue they wont provide currently. I looked into purchasing a Hardware Connector but at $99 for one I though they had to be a better way.
Than reading around I heard it was possible on PC at least to Bridge an ethernet adapter to a wireless adapter kinda like VMWARE does.
I want the app to look at my ethernet port and say OK its live..
