Do not connect my iPhone and my iMac by continuity

Hello

My iPhone and my iMac connect properly through continuity, so I can't pick up on my iMac I do on my iPhone and vice versa. I can not make calls from my iMac via my iPhone.

I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro and an iPhone, and all of them are defined to connect, to make and receive calls and all the necessary parameters to ensure continuity, including the same Apple ID to all with the same accounts iCloud.
When I try to make a call directly from my iMac with my iPhone it says that the iPhone is not set to allow my iMac make calls. When I try to check my settings of the iPhone, the phone, my iMac does not appear as a device (my MacBook done) and I can't find a way to add in there. Although in my account/iCloud to Apple, there are all the details for my three devices.

What can I do?

You don't mention the exact models of your Mac and iphone.

Maybe your iMac model is not fully supported for continuity?

Some of these features require fairly recent iphones and Mac. I can answer or make a call on my rMBP, but not on my iMac 2011.

  • I can not connect my iPhone and my iPad mini after ios10

    Hey guys,.

    so I upgraded my iPhone 5s as well as my mini iPad 2 to iOS10 today. I couldn't find any problem on my devices to date. Everything seems to be ok. But now I wanted to sync new music from my iMac to the iPhone but the connection of the usb cable, iTunes gives me an error message. My system works in German, so I can only give you a translation of the error message that might not be how it reads in English. The message says something like: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because there is an invalid response".

    The same error message when I connect my iPad mini update. My guess is that my iTunes version is not compatible with iOS10. I'm still on an old iMac with OSX 10.7 since 2006. The latest version of iTunes that I can install is 12.2.2.25. When I try to download a newer version of the apple download page, the browser will automatically return to 12.2.2. and wants to download this version. Is there no work around or there at - he become a compatible version of iTunes? Does anyone have the same problem and it can confirm that it has to do with iTunes?

    Because you can't run the latest version of iTunes on a Mac running v10.7 Lion (very outdated OS X) see if your Mac can pass to El Capitan > update of OS X El Capitan

    In this way, you would be able to run iTunes 12.5.1then update your iOS 10 devices.

  • Bluetooth connection between iPhone and iPad

    My iPhone 6 does not connect to my iPad via bluetooth.

    I previously used the bluetooth connection between my iphone and iPad to connect the iPad to the internet. Despite the two devices were among the recognized bluetooth devices and they were previously linked/partner, it was not possible to establish a connection.

    Perform the actions recommended for repair/reissue apple support - 1. Toggle bluetooth, 2. turn on/off the unit, 3. remove the iPhone/iPad bluetooth connections - 4. Reset network settings - 5. Reset all the settings-, nothing works.

    IPhone/iPad devices isn't even on the list of bluetooth devices available on the iPhone, or iPad. Everything that happens is the animated icon turns all the time.

    Deleting a connection to a device and bluetooth speaker/amp from the pairing of the speaker/amp system process made a new connection.

  • TimeCapsule wifi does not work for iphone and ipad, but doesn't work for laptops

    I just got a new 3 TB timecapsule to replace my old 1 TB timecapsule.  Everything seems in place and I transferred all my data to the new.  Our computers two apple laptops gets wifi nine immediately, but our two iphones and an ipad receive no wifi.  They show that they are connected to a new network, but not WiFi.  Can someone tell me what should I do?  Thank you!

    On the iphones and ipad clear on all networks known. Restart the device and make a new configuration of the network.

    If they are later version idevices... test in the same room as the TC. Still have problems reset the TC and give it a new configuration... Use very short names, without spaces and pure alphanumeric characters. Test first without password... It should work fine... Then add a password... Make sure that it is as pure of 8 to 20 alphanumeric characters.

  • HP Slate 7 more does not connect to iPhone personal hotspot

    My new tablet, slate 7 more, c. 4.2.2 kernel v. 3.1.10 - g2630132 does not connect to my iPhone 4, ios 7.0.6.

    The Tablet works fine on wifi router database connections.

    The Tablet sees different iPhones when the personal hotspots are active on these phones and I can enter the security keys.  The Tablet shows "signal strength Excellent and"WPA2 PSK security."  However when I press "Connect" the Tablet shows the hotspot iPhone simply as 'Saved, secure with WPA2.'  The Tablet does not actually connect.

    My goal by purchasing this tablet had a portable device that I could work out my phone personal hotspot.

    Suggestions, or can someone point me to a FAQ tip or tech that I might have missed?

    -The personal hotspot iPhone works perfectly with my iPad.

    So, my iPhone hotspot works and my ThinkPad with WiFi works, but not to each other.

    In the names of Jobs and Gates, can anyone suggest a fix?

    Good afternoon kmh531mag,.

    Here are some tips that can help you to solve your problem:

    On your iPhone:

    -Install the latest version of iOS (if you have not yet installed)
    -Reset the network settings on the iPhone
    How you do this: go to Settings--> General--> Reset--> Reset network settings
