A couple months ago I took a trip out of town, so I set FaceTime on my Mac to auto-answer calls from a specific email address of mine. I followed these directions:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/17/automatically-accept-facetime-calls-mac/
It worked like a charm, but now that I'm back I want to disable this ability, and can't! I've tried to use:
defaults delete com.apple.FaceTime AutoAcceptInvitesFrom
And though it reports to have done its job:
There is no (AutoAcceptInvitesFrom) default for the (com.apple.FaceTime) domain.
Defaults have not been changed.
Facetime is now actually auto-answering ANY incoming calls. Not even just those from the email address I originally specified.
Obviously this is not a great thing as I'm getting facetime calls out of the blue while in the middle of a conference call with a client, talking to my family members, etc.
How on earth can I truly disable facetime from auto-answering any calls, ever?
UPDATE: April 14 2014. This is still happening in Mavericks when I turn Facetime back on. I would really like to be able to use FT now that there are audio calls, but I can't have it auto-answering all incoming calls all the time.
How on earth can I disable this? I again tried
defaults delete com.apple.FaceTime AutoAcceptInvitesFrom
But got
Domain (com.apple.FaceTime) not found.
in response.
UPDATE 2: It gets weirder. on a lark I decided to try this again too:
defaults write com.apple.FaceTime AutoAcceptInvites -bool false
And this time around, IT WORKED! Sortof. My iMac now no longer auto answers calls. However this same command does absolutely nothing on my MacBook Pro, which is still auto answering every call.
So I'm halfway to a solution... anyone have any idea what's going on with the MBP?
