OS X Yosemite :: Hand Off / Continuity Only Partly Working
Dec 1, 2014
I am trying to get handoff/continuity to work with my Macbook Pro 15" Retina (Mid 2012--2.3Ghz--8G Ram--256GB SSD/Yosemite 10.10.1 ) and iPhone 6 (4.7" 128GB Space Gray/iOS 8.1.1) I said partly because browser continuity works with browsing but it does not work with everything else.
- When I open a webpage in IOS Safari, the left side of my MBPr's dock does show up that "continuity" icon Chrome/Safari and when I click on that, it does bring me to the webpage I am checking on my iPhone.
- When I open a webpage on my MBPr's Safari, a little Safari icon does show up on the downleft of my iPhone lock screen, I pull it up. It does bring me to the webpage I was checking on my MBRr What does not work with Handoff/continuity
- Mail (when I open Mail in MBPr, Mail doesn't show on the other device. Same applies to open Mail in iPhone)
- Messages (When I open Messages in MBPr, Messages doesn't show on the other device. Same applies to open Messages in iPhone)
- Incoming Call (When my iPhone have incoming call, doesn't have incoming call notification show on my MBPr screen)
What I tried/made sure
- Made sure both device have bluetooth turned on and both under the same WiFi network.
- Both MBPr and iPhone installed the lastest version OS and all patches available from app store.
- Both MBPr and iPhone signed in with the same iCloud ID
- Both MBPr and iPhone enabled Handoff.
- Uncheck "iPhone Celluar Call" in my MBPr's facetime
- Turn off and on Handoff/Suggest APPs in my iPhone
- Restart both MBPr and iPhone multiple times
- Cleared MBPr PRAM
- Verified and Repair disk permission in my MBPr
- Enabled Text Message Forwarding
- Able to see my iPhone's personal hotspot under MacOS Wifi pulldown menu.

I am talking about a feature that you copy on iOS device and paste on Yosemite device, or other way around whether its being simple text or image.
Imagine what you can do with this. Basically, you can use iPad as a book reader. You find something important or interesting, copy it. Now paste onto the Mac where you have your favorite note application, word document, or perhaps presentation app open.

I restarted my MBP to install some updates and when I started working on it again I noticed that the trackpad gestures had stopped responding. This has happened to me before but I have no idea why. I know that when I reboot it again, that they will start working again, but it's annoying to restart everytime the gestures stop working.

In Motion 5, I'll be working and everything will look fine, and then I'll export the project to find some of the text looks like this: [URL] .....
It seems to happen completely randomly, and sometimes I can go back and retype it and that'll fix it, but a lot of the time it doesn't fix the problem.

Most audio books, I either want to listen to only once, or at long intervals. I would like to do the following: Create a playlist to sync to my iphone: The smart playlist has the following criteria:
A: The genre is AudioBooks.
B: The playcount is 0.
C: Pick 25 at random
D: Include partially played books.
The latter is the show stopper. How do I make sure that a book I started to listen to one time is still on the playlist the next time after I sync my phone. I'm willing to have a second playlist of "Books in progress" If it can't be done directly any pointers to an applescript for this?

I have a Canon LBP6000 laser printer. I downloaded the Yosemite driver from Canon after updating to Yosemite, and the printer worked up until a few days ago. Now, I can't print. The printer status monitor says "printing" with a status bar, but nothing happens.
I have tried remedies such as deleting all printer drivers, deleting the printer, resetting the printer system, restarting the computer, reinstalling the printer, resetting PRAM, updating to 10.10.1. Nothing has worked so far. It was working fine a few days ago!
I'm on a 2008 MacBook OS X 10.10.1.

I set up Parental Control for one user to access ALL apps except one, but when the user logs in can't access anything at all. Sometimes receives messages "you're not allow... allow once, allow always" sort of thing. Then many other apps simply can't open.

I have set up the shared printer on my iMac in my room. I am trying to print from my husbands iMac in the living room. It is acting like it is going to print but when I try to print the printer queue comes up and it pauses the print job. When I select resume it says "Printing- 1.6.2 is ready to print." then it pauses again.
I tried setting the printer up multiple times from the living room and when I do it says the address is "valid and complete host name or address" then when I'm done and click "Add" it tells me "Unable to verify the printer on your network." "Unable to connect to 'Mycomputer-name-example.local’ due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?" cancel or continue.
Also I installed the printer software on both computers so that shouldn't be the issue.

Incoming server is a Road Runner Pop server. Have unchecked the "automatically detect..." box under advanced but does not save password. Connection is fine. Continually get "log-in to this POP account failed. Verify that the username and password is correct."Yes, password is correct, but Mail will not hold it in settings.

SInce downloading OS Yosemite, iCal on my Macbook doesn't work. All past events have been erased and I can't add new events. When I go into iCloud my calendar is fine and if add a new event to the calendar in my iPhone or iPad these will sync ok (although all past events prior to downloading Yosemite have also been erased on both devices).

A few days ago my macbook pro stopped getting iMessages. Interestingly I still get SMS from all of my non-apple friends. I have checked to make sure everything looks right, logged into iCloud account, etc. Double checked on my iPhone as well. My iPad and iPhone still communicate with each other and receive all messages. Running most current OS on all three devices.

I have a macbook pro 17" 2011 model and since upgrading to Yosemite I am now unable to load images to websites such as ebay. This is just one of the sites having the problem but other sites as well where you are required to click the "load image" button. It gives you the navigation to the folder where the images are and you can see them but they are unclickable. All images are jpeg images with .jpg extension. I've included the series needed to get to the folder and you will see in the last image, none of the items are selectable, even the .jpg files.
Whats the secret to getting this option back so I can upload images to websites?

So i wanted to send a 600MB file via mail drop, but when I dragged the file onto the mail window and hit send, instead of the window asking me if I wanted to send it via mail drop, it just started sending it. Now I have a slow connection and don't want to spend the next 90 minutes uploading something that cannot be downloaded, never mind clogging up my internet connection.
Incidentally, in trashing the uploading file in Mail's Outbox to stop it, I can see the upload still continues as my network stats show full upload speed. Had to restart.

After I updated my Macbook Air to Yosemite, my 2T Lacie Porche Design External HD kept ejecting after a minute or so after being plugged in. I tried all the troubleshooting there is to try in this site. I took my macbook to an Apple store with the HD and was told the HD was faulty. Then took the HD to Best Buy and GeekSquad said they tried it in many devices and said the HD had no issues. So yesterday (as of the day of this post) I did reset on my mac to factory settings. It reverted back to Mavericks. I plugged in the HD and voila! No issues. So I thought that erasing everything on the mac might have solved the issue. Once again updated to Yosemite and boom. HD ejected. What's the next step?

Had the same issue with previous system 10.9. Question was answered and it solved the problem, only until I reboot the computer. Then problem appeared again.
Installed 10.10.1 Yosemite and again my camera is no longer operating. I tried the previous method and used Disk Utilities to repair the permissions but it still does not work.

I yesterday installed Yosemite and the previous version of Final Cut Pro does not work with it. When I try to install the latest version of Final Cut Pro from the purchased tab in the app store, I get the message: "Final Cut can't be installed on this computer because it requires at least 4 GB of memory". When I go to the storage tab in "About This Mac", it shows that I have 154.49 GB free of 319.21 GB.

Since the installation of Yosemite, Mail context menus no longer work. Control-clicking on a hyperlink in a mail messages opens a context menu containing these items:
Selecting any of the first 3 has no effect. Just clicking on the hyperlink will switch to the browser (Safari) and open the link. Clicking on "Services" does display a list of Services, and "Open URL in Firefox" at least seems to work. However, "Open URLs in Safari Tabs" does not. This seems to indicate a possible disconnect between Mail and Safari in particular.

So my paired Bluetooth PS3 controller just stopped connecting with my mid-2011 iMac today. It says it is connected in the drop-down Bluetooth menu, I can see the flashing red lights, but it no longer works with any of the games it did 1-2 days ago.
I did download USB Overdrive to use the PS3 controller plugged in (with Expendabros, which was crashing when I tried to use the controller wirelessly, a known bug) yesterday, and it worked with that. Anyway, I made sure Overdrive was not selected as active in System Preferences. I tried that little reset button on the controller itself. Charged it, of course (it was almost full anyway). Restarted my computer. Add resetting SMC and PRAM (the latter always makes me nervous, as it really screwed up my wifi settings once) to the list. I tried removing the device from the drop-down menu bar list and repairing, no luck. Is it odd that it is showing up in the drop-down list, but not in the list in Bluetooth System Preferences?
In addition, I looked at my System Profile, and the PS3 controller is listed as NOT paired...Lastly, I tried to find com.apple.Bluetooth.plist in "Preferences" under Library (to try deleting it), but I couldn't find it. I did find com.apple.I don't believe there were any OS updates recently that could have changed Bluetooth somehow.
