How do I Handoff OS X working on all my devices?

Handoff OS X <-> iOS a one-way street.

Hi,

Late 2012 iMac running Yosemite; iPhone 6 Plus and iPad mini retina, both running iOS 8.1 .
Bluetooth on on all devices, same wifi network, same Apple ID.

Handoff works from the iOS devices to the Mac. So e.g. when I open Safari on my iPad, the icon shows up on the doc of the iMac.
But the other way around does not work. When I open Safari or any handoff-capable app on the Mac, I don't get its icon on the lock screen of my iOS devices.
Anyone else seeing this?

I've yet to try it, but I'll test it out later today and give feedback.

Resolved this by logging out from iCloud on all my devices, rebooting them, and logging back in again. Major PITA, but it worked. :smile:
