When you want to make or receive a phone call, you don’t have to reach for your iPhone—you can use your Mac. When someone calls you, a notification appears on your Mac and you can take the call—and even use Real-Time Text (RTT) for your phone calls, if your carrier supports it.

Note: Phone calls you make and receive on your Mac use cellular minutes—cellular charges may apply.

Make calls from apps on your Mac

  1. In the FaceTime app on your Mac, sign in and turn on FaceTime.

  2. Set up your iPhone and Mac for phone calls, if you haven’t done so already.

  3. In these apps on your Mac, do one of the following:

    • FaceTime: Enter a phone number in the search field (you may need to press Return), then click the Audio button (or use the Touch Bar). You can also click Audio to see your past phone calls.

      If you enabled RTT phone calls, you can choose to make an RTT call.

    • Contacts: Select a contact, move your pointer over a phone number, then click the Phone button .

      If you enabled RTT phone calls, you can choose to make an RTT call.

    • Safari: Click a phone number on a webpage, then click Call.

    • Mail: Place the pointer over a phone number in an email, click the pop-up menu , then choose how you want to make the call.

    • Maps: Click a place of interest, click the Info button , then click Call.

    • Spotlight: Enter the name of a person or place in the Spotlight search field, then select the matching search result. Move the pointer over a phone number, then click the Phone button .

    • Calendar: Open an event, look for an underlined blue phone number in the event details, then click the number.

    • Reminders: Open the reminders list, then click an underlined blue phone number. Or, move the pointer over a reminder, click the Info button , look for a phone number in the notes, then click the number.

If you’re restricted to calls with only certain people, an hourglass icon appears next to those people you can’t call.

Answer calls on your Mac

On your Mac, when a notification appears in the top-right corner of the screen, do one of the following:

  • Accept an incoming call: Click Accept.

    If the person calling you has enabled RTT for the call and you want to answer it that way, click RTT.

  • Decline a call: Click Decline.

    Tip: If the call came from someone you don’t want to receive calls from, you can block the caller.

  • Decline a call and send a message using iMessage: Click next to Decline, choose Reply with Message, type your message, then click Send. Both you and the caller must be signed in to iMessage.

  • Decline a call and set a reminder to call back later: Click next to Decline, then choose how long you want to wait to receive a reminder. When the time comes, you receive a notification—click it to view the reminder, then click the link in the reminder to start the call.

If your Mac has a Touch Bar, you can use it to accept a call, decline a call, decline and send a message, or decline and set a reminder.

Phone

  • Switch to a FaceTime video call: Click Video in the notification (or use the Touch Bar).

Migration Assistant makes it super easy to move data from your old Mac to your new one, either directly or from a Time Machine backup. You can connect two Macs with Thunderbolt, FireWire, or Ethernet, or even just using the same Wi-Fi network if you don't have one of these cables. Migrating your old data to your new computer will make it possible for you to start working on your brand new Mac without missing a beat.

If you are new to Mac, you can also migrate your old PC data.

Before you start

  • Update your software - If your old Mac is running OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or earlier, you will need to update your software first.
  • Name your old Mac - If you haven't done so already, make sure your old Mac has a name. Open System Preferences > Sharing > and enter a name in the Computer Name field.
  • Connect your old and new computers to a power source - Both devices need to be plugged into a power source to ensure that you don't run out of juice in the middle of the migration process.
  • Get your Thunderbolt, FireWire, or Ethernet cable ready - Direct connection is the fastest way to migrate your data from your old Mac to your new. If you don't have the required cable, you can use your local Wi-Fi network instead, but the process will be slower.

How to migrate your old Mac's data to your new Mac

Start with your old Mac

  1. Connect the Thunderbolt, FireWire, or Ethernet cable from your old Mac to your new Mac.
