Handoff Now Not Working

[RushMan2112]

Hi,
I'm a newbie, so hoping I get this right.

I've got a 2013 Mac Book Air Yosemite & an iPhone 5S - IOS 8

Handoff half worked yesterday, in that if I opened a new email on the Mac then it handed off to the phone, same with a Safari session.
It did not work the other way.

Today its not working at all. Have tried to log out of iCloud n back in etc, not working.

I have noticed that the Apple ID on my Mac is using my iCloud email and my phone is using my hotmail address, could this be the issue ??

Any thoughts ??
Thanks

There are many many posts about this, so I will submit the fix that worked for me in several threads in the hope that it helps people:

I was struggling yesterday, and was having very mixed results ranging from handoff not working at all to it working on my iPhone only. I found an article offering a suggested fix, and it worked for me.

It appears to me that the "missing link" is the FaceTime setup (this was the only article I found that referenced FaceTime settings).

In my case, I had to sign into FaceTime using my AppleID (which I believe was set in the past, possibly disconnected at some point). Anyhow, it does make sense that this would be a potential gap in Handoff functioning, and it corrected my issue immediately.

Good luck...this is clearly not an example of "it just works".
