The latest version of OS X Yosemite for Apple devices introduces a lot. In addition to the complete redesign, we introduced interesting features for the user. For example Handoff and Continuity.

Thanks to Continuity, your MacBook or iMac has learned to take calls coming to you on your iPhone. Despite the convenience, the function turned out to be "damp", because as soon as you receive a call, all the gadgets that are in your house and work under a single FaceTime account begin to ring. Over time, duplicate calls start to get annoying, although they are easy enough to remove.

How to turn off FaceTime duplicate ringing on iPhone

The easiest way is to turn off calls on the iPhone or iPad itself. To do this, go to "Settings" - FaceTime, and then turn off the "iPhone Cellular Calls" function.

Disabling "Cellular Calls" in this way is a radical method, which is not the most successful, because the user will not be able to call from other devices with a similar account. A more subtle way is to leave the Cell Calls slider on on the iPhone and off on the Mac.

Turn off FaceTime duplicate call on MacBook or iPad

To disconnect, go to Mac in FaceTime and use the CMD + keys< переходим в меню “Настройки”. Здесь надо убрать галочку, находящуюся рядом с iPhone (Сотовые вызовы).

The same actions must be performed with the iPad, it also has settings in which you need to enter the FaceTime settings, and then uncheck the box next to the iPhone.

That's it, now the calls are not heard, but Continuity continues to work. If you want to return the previous functionality, just return the checkbox that was removed.

Another solution to the problem with a duplicate call

You can solve the problem in another way, without performing the disconnection manipulation. A similar solution will also be useful to some of you.

Then on your Mac you need to go to the directory
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ToneLibrary.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Ringtones/

There is a sound file Blues.m4r. It needs to be renamed by adding brackets with “Old” to the name. The result will be - Blues (Old) .m4r. To rename, you will need to enter the administrator password, which is not at all difficult if you are the owner of the computer. Then you should copy the downloaded file to the specified directory. Thus, the sound file will be included in the set of standard melodies.

Greetings! When you have several iPhones in your family, then you are a very rich person, many people prefer to use one Apple ID account for all of these devices. So what? At first glance, everything is really very convenient! For example, a game (program) was downloaded on one gadget, and it instantly became available on another device. Plus, there is no need to memorize the data of several accounts at once. It would seem that happiness has come. Live and rejoice!

However, it is not for nothing that Apple recommends creating a unique Apple ID account for each iPhone. After all, there are also enough problems with the simultaneous use of accounting (by different people on different iPhones). For example, iCloud backups. And if an Apple ID is stolen, all gadgets on which this identifier is activated will be "under attack" at once.

There is another problem that is associated with the use of one Apple ID on multiple iPhones is the synchronization of call and call logs. We will talk about this today.

Brief description of the situation. When making a call from one iPhone, the data instantly appears on the other. The same situation is with missed and incoming calls. They called you, you did not pick up the phone, and a notification about this is immediately displayed on all other iPhones with your account. It turns out that the call history and call log will be common for all iPhones on which your Apple ID is entered.

Comfortable? Of course. But this call log sync is only good when all these iPhones belong to you. Otherwise, questions are possible - we are all curious and suspicious people :) But okay, now it's not about that, but about how to get rid of it.

Use different Apple IDs

The most correct and correct decision. We create our own, unique account for each gadget and the problem will disappear by itself. Yes, this will take some time, and it is not always convenient for various reasons, but later on there will be some advantages.

In addition to the fact that the synchronization of calls on the phone will stop (which is already good!), It will be possible to use an iCloud account for each iPhone separately (and this is an extra space for backup), and in the future, protect yourself from various surprises (such as synchronization sms, Safari browser tabs and others).

Finally, here's another instant way to get rid of repeated calls on different iPhones - "just" turn off the Internet and that's it. No internet - no synchronization.

New iPhone users sometimes encounter a situation when, while talking on the phone, they are called on the second line, but they do not see or hear it.

As a result, some even mistakenly begin to believe that the iPhone does not have a "call waiting" function, but this is not the case, it just needs to be activated, if for some reason it is not enabled by default.

Read about how to turn on the second line on iPhone in this manual.

For those who are not familiar with this feature of their phone, we will briefly talk about it. The call waiting function is really very convenient - you will not miss a call even if you are currently talking to another subscriber.

On the iPhone, as on most other phones, when you receive a call on the second line during a conversation with your interlocutor, you can choose one of three options:

• drop the incoming call and continue the conversation with the previous subscriber;
• answer an incoming call and put the previous conversation on hold (to return to it later);
• answer an incoming call and drop the current conversation, if you have already agreed with the previous subscriber.

Connecting a second line or the so-called "call waiting" on your phone is quite simple, for this you just need to put one slider in the settings in the "On" position.

Enabling second line in iPhone

It's all. Now the second line of your iPhone is activated and you will not miss a single important call, even if you are busy talking with another interlocutor.

To all of the above, it should be added that for some operators the call waiting function may be disabled on their side or even be a paid service. In this case, the slider for enabling call waiting will be inactive, and to activate the service, you need to contact your mobile operator.

If you see the message "Failed to save Call Waiting setting" try restarting your phone. If this did not help, check the availability of the service with the operator. If the operator says that the service is available to you, reset your phone settings - in this case, the option appears in 100% of cases.

Users have the opportunity not only to answer calls directly from the computer, which is especially important when the iPhone is in another room, but even to make calls. However, poorly configured functionality can be annoying. For example, having an iPhone, iPad and Mac in an apartment, an incoming call to a smartphone can be heard as a whole cannonade from all devices tied to one account. In this article, we will tell you how to tame certain devices, depending on what functions you use in Continuity mode.

How can I turn off duplicate calls on all devices?

If you do not want the call to be duplicated on all devices paired with your Facetime account, then you must perform the following steps on your iPhone or iPad:

1 ... Open up Settings → Facetime.

2 IPhone Cellular Calls»To the inactive position.

How do I selectively turn off duplicate calls on specific paired devices?

In order to turn off a duplicate call on a Mac paired with a Facetime account, you must:

1 ... Open up Facetime → Settings(⌘ + comma).

2 ... Uncheck the box next to the " iPhone (Cellular Calls)».

In order to turn off a duplicate call on an iPad paired with a Facetime account, you must:

1 ... Open up Settings → Facetime.

2 ... Switch the toggle switch opposite the item " IPhone Cellular Calls»To the inactive position.

Thus, you will retain the functionality of Continuity, but at the same time you will not be constantly annoyed by duplicate calls on different devices.

But what if you want to periodically answer calls from your Mac, but don't want to hear a loud incoming call ringtone?

How to turn on silent mode for incoming calls on Mac?

In order to do this, it is enough to resort to one trick. We will simply change the audio file of the incoming call to a file with complete silence. This will display the call on the Mac and can be answered, but the ringtone will not play.

1 ... Download the silence sound file Blues.m4r.

2 ... Open the following path in Finder

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ToneLibrary.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Ringtones/

3 ... Rename the Blues.m4r file, for example, Blues-old.m4r. It is not worth deleting or replacing it, but suddenly you want to return the sound.

4 ... Move the downloaded Blues.m4r file to this directory.

5 ... Enter the administrator password.

6 ... Open up Facetime → Settings.

7 ... On the menu " Ringtone" Choose a section " Classic"And the track" Blues».

From now on, during an incoming call, a notification will be displayed with an offer to "Accept" or "Reject" the call, but instead of a ringtone, there will be silence.

Attention! Sometimes, after setting up Call Forwarding, your Mac may stop receiving calls from your iPhone altogether. To fix the problem, simply sign out and re-sign into your Facetime account.

In the latest generations of all Apple smart devices, the Continuity or Continuously function is built in. With its help, the details of some applications, configuration settings, calls and text messages can be duplicated on different gadgets belonging to the same owner.

Sometimes users have a situation when one and the same call comes to two iPhones. This is a lot of inconvenience, especially when you are away from home or want to use only one gadget to address calls. Also, the function will be unnecessary if one of your devices is used by another family member. Frequent calls will interfere with the work with the gadget.

In what cases does duplicate calls occur in the IPhone?

A call from a phone to a tablet will only be repeated if a number of Continuity requirements are met, namely:

• All gadgets must be connected to one Apple ID;
• Connection of devices with one router (single Wi-Fi network) or connection to one access point;
• Gadgets share the same FaceTime ID.

To deactivate the function, one of the above features must be changed. For example, disconnect the other gadget from your router or FaceTime. Note that you should not try to change the binding to your Apple ID, otherwise you may lose access to your device. It is recommended to use the ID that you set up initially after purchasing the IPhone.

Disabling synchronization in the IPhone settings

If you want the data on incoming and outgoing calls to no longer be duplicated on all your IPhone, you just need to deactivate the unnecessary parameter in the phone settings:

• Go to Settings and click on "iMessage";
• Scroll down the window;
• Deactivate the "Calls from IPhone" slider;
• Restart both devices that are syncing.

For some users, the problem of duplicate calls on the IPhone does not disappear even after deactivating the add-on. If this happens, repeat a few more steps:

• Open the "Phone" window in the Smartphone settings;
• Click on "Calls from other devices";
• Disable call permission.

Synchronization of two Apple devices can occur not only due to the "Continuity" function, but also due to the connection to one iCloud storage account. To fix the problem, it is enough to make sure that one of the phones does not send data to the cloud:

• Click on the "Settings" icon in the main menu of the IPhone;
• Select "iCloud Drive";
• Disable the slider next to the "Allow iCloud data storage" option.

Thus, all the phonebook and dial log data will not be sent to the cloud server and the other device will not be able to receive it. Calls to IPhone and iPad will no longer be duplicated.

Another quick and effective way is to simply turn off the Internet on one of the gadgets. Without access to the global network, synchronization is impossible and the inconvenience with repeated calls will no longer arise.

Please note, even if the slider has already been disabled in one of the functions described above, activate it and then turn it off again. This way you can eliminate possible errors and failures in the settings, which provoked incorrect work during the synchronization process.
