Hi! I fixed the problem I was having where the iPhone would appear to go to sleep when trying to use it to make and receive calls with FaceTime.
Actually what was happening was that the iPhone and the Mac were on 2 different Wi-Fi networks though both those networks are part of my Home Network itself, one Wi-Fi network is a 2.4GHZ transmission and the other a 5.0GHZ. To use faceTime with your iPhone both devices MUST BE explicitly on the same Wi-Fi network it seems. A useful and helpful tip I’m sure for anyone who is planning to use this method of communications. > On 28 Oct 2014, at 7:52 pm, Dane Trethowan <grtd...@internode.on.net > <mailto:grtd...@internode.on.net>> wrote: > > Hi! > > I’ve written about this new feature and how convenient I find it though there > is one thing that does annoy me, thus far I’ve found the function a little > unreliable. > > The performance - when you have the function working - is excellent but > keeping the function working seems to be a problem. > > For example I may make a call and everything works perfectly, I might go away > from the Mac for a while and attempt a second call and I get the “Call > Failed” error message. > > Has anyone else had similar problems and - if so - did they manage to find a > workaround? > > > ********** > > Dane Trethowan > grtd...@internode.on.net <mailto:grtd...@internode.on.net> > <mailto:grtd...@internode.on.net <mailto:grtd...@internode.on.net>> > Skype: grtdane12 > Phone US (213) 438-9741 > Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 > Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 > Mobile: +61400494862 > faceTime +61400494862 > Fax +61397437954 > Twitter: @grtdane > > > > > ********** Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net <mailto:grtd...@internode.on.net> Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at the list's public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
