Hello John. As you say one has to be signed in to I Cloud, bluetooth enabled etc, but, let’s say when I see the hand off badge in my Mac be it the Mac mini or I Mac, both devices respectively, I Mac, late 2012 and Mac Mini 2014, the latest one out. So I locate my mail which is hand off, but I can’t find the message that I might be composing which I stopped writing using my I Phone 6 plus. I hope you understand what I am saying, I get the Hand off Icon and get into the program such as mail but can’t locate my message that I’m composing. Any ideas?
