IPhone no longer vibrates

Heya all-
Within the past 2 weeks, the vibrate on my iPhone began to get weaker and weaker. About a week ago, it stopped altogether. Now, I treat this phone extremely well, so it wasn't dropped or anything along those lines. I've read around that, if you shake it hard enough or give it a little "love tap", the motor, which seems to get stuck, will free up. I've been able to get it to work by doing that, but it'll stop after 2-3 vibrations.
I've tried restoring from a backup and doing a fresh restore, and it's still the same. Any other ideas? I don't have any extra warranty (just the 1-year that came with the phone), so I don't wanna get screwed by the dudes at the Genius Bar telling me that I'm out of luck.
Thanks!

I had that problem. Mine just stopped working one day, I never noticed it getting weaker. I have the extra 2-yr warranty plan through apple and took it to the apple store. They exchanged it, and the new one has worked fine since. Although I am getting reception problems now after the 2.0 update.
If its still under warranty then take it back.

Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?

Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call. So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of. Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message. Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message.

Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

IPhone 4 quit vibrating n can not get it to work with ibrate

Can any one help me my iPhone 4 quit vibrating n I can't get to work

Hey Little poignant,
Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPhone 4 is no longer vibrating, let's double check the settings to make sure everything is configured properly.
Settings > Sounds > Vibrate on Ring (Make sure this is ON)
Settings > Sounds > Vibrate on Silent (Make sure this is ON)
Settings > Sounds > Ringtone > Vibration (Make sure this is not set to "None")
If the above settings are configured properly, we'll need to isolate this issue further. I recommend restoring your iPhone as outlined in this article:

I recently updated to 10.8.2 and now my notes from my iPhone no longer appear in my mail nor do my calendar appointments. Is there any way to change it so they will appear?

If it has the same (bad) behavior on two different systems then there is a very good chance that the drive is toast.
BTW you'll get better response to your questions if the question actually reflects the problem you are having. In this case it would have been better to say you couldn't access the drive rather then that it doesn't show on the desktop.

Apps bought on Iphone no longer sync to iTunes on PC

The subject explains it all, my iPhone no longer syncs any of the apps purchased on the iPhone back onto iTunes on the PC. In fact, the itunes doesnt see any apps when connected to my iPhone - and I can't move or edit the apps contained on my iphone within the software.
What a nightmare, and another example of how annoying and pathetic iTunes is.
Please help.

Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes. If using windows, this will be under the edit menu. Make sure the account you're signed into in itunes matches the account on your phone Settings>Store>View Account. Connect your phone, itunes running, go up to Store>Authorize this Computer(to make sure your computer is authorized). Then File>Transfer Purchases. This should put all of your purchased content into your itunes library.
FYI: The sync for content like music & apps is ONE way, computer to phone. Content you purchase directly on your phone is transferred to your itunes library.

With Update 1.1.3 iPhone no longer syncs with iCal

I run Leopard on a MacBook Pro. After upgrading my iPhone to 1.1.3, iCal and the calendar on iPhone no longer syncs, at all. I brought this to the NYC Soho Apple Store, but the genius couldn't figure it out. Only the two default calendars "Home" and "Work" synced, although not every time. Help! What should I do now? Enter events twice? Once in the iPhone, since that's what I take with me, and once on iCal, since when restoring iPhone settings that's what's used? Many thanks!

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is -- first you said it doesn't sync at all, and then you said that your Home and Work calendars sync intermittently.
Personally, I would do several things:
1) Make sure you are not using Entourage -- and if you are, make sure all Sync functions are unchecked in preferences so that nothing is using Mac's sync services and copying back and forth.
2) Print out your calendars (use month view) for the entire year so that you have a backup.
3) Do you need to have separate calendars? I find it ridiculous personally to have work and home and entourage calendars, and combine them into one. It's all my calendar information anyway, and it goes with me everywhere, why would I want more than one calendar....anyway....not to get off on a tangent...
If you can do without two calendars, combine them all into one (you export one of them, then import it back into the other one, then delete the one your exported and imported. You can do a search for the help topic on how to combine calendars.
Rename the one combined calendar your name, rather than home or work. Sync your iPhone. On the Info tab, make sure that you have the calendar name selected (it will recognize the new name of your calendar. Also make sure you have the sync to: Your Name calendar selected.
4) If that does not work, I would totally delete all of my calendars from iCal - and sync (to erase all the calendar information from your iPhone).
5) Create a new calendar, and manually re-enter all your calendar information. Sync new information to your iPhone.
In reality -- I have no idea why you are having problems -- I also have 1.1.3 on my iPhone, and I also sync with iCal. I haven't had any problems -- but then I only have the one calendar.

IPhone No Longer Sorts Podcasts By Release Date After 3.1 Update

After upgrading to iPhone OS 3.1 and iTunes 9.0(70) Podcasts on the iPhone no longer sort according to their release date. The ordering is definitely not alphabetical or any of the other user selectable sorting options. If I had to guess I'd say it's sorting them by reverse download order (which when you update less frequently than once a day is quite confusing since iTunes downloads most recent first). Is this a problem with the iPhone OS, iTunes or an option that I'm missing somewhere (the iTunes podcast tab is set to sort by release date).

I'm thinking this is not a iphone 3.1 upgrade issue, as the only thing I have upgraded is to iTunes 9 and I am having the exact same problem. After upgrading my phone did lock up really bad. The screen was on, was showing slide to unlock but was totally unresponsive to the home and sleep buttos. Plugging it back into the computer also did nothing. I had to hard restart it with the home and sleep button in sych.
My Podcasts have no sorting capability what so ever. There is no logical reason they are so jumbled up.

IPhone no longer appears in iTunes

I have been syncing my iPhone(s) with iTunes since June 2007 on my G5 iMac running Mac OS 10.4.11. Yesterday, I finally updated my OS to 10.5.8 and the Leopard version of iTunes 9.0.2. However, my iPhone no longer shows up in the source pane of the iTunes window. I've repaired permissions, restarted, unplugged and plugged in my dock cable, all to no avail. Any suggestions?

I've already done just about everything there; I'm going to install iTunes 9.0.2 for the third time to see if a fresh download works. Remember, everything worked just fine with iTunes 9.0.2 in Tiger; but in Leopard, Software Update said I had to update again to 9.0.2. I did so, but still have the problem.

The sound on my iphone no longer works, nor do the buttons at the side that turn sound on and off/volume control. But weirdly, you can play music without headphones. Tried restore and jack in and out. No luck... any ideas?

The sound on/off button onthe side of my iPhone no longer works, nor do the volume buttons. All sound has disappeared from the phone apart from the Music which still plays. Have tried th Restore and restart phone plus have plugged and unplugged phone jack. No luck - any idea anyone?

One thing that helped was getting a toothbrush and scrubbing the dock connector on the phone. I scrubbed the connector and used compressed air for about 1/2 hour till the connector looked much cleaner. An Apple employee told me that the pins on the phone had a little corrosion and sand. The problem hasn't gone away completely, but has been significantly reduced. I'm going to hold out until my contract expires after which time I'll switch to an iPhone5 (or newer) or Android phone.

IPhone no longer shows up in iTunes: can't update files, etc.

Hi there,
For some reason (and I don't think it's the USB connection... I've tried two) by iPhone no longer shows up in the iTunes window when I connect it to my MBP. Consequently, I can't update my Address Book, or anything like that.
Does anyone know what I can do to correct this? I've tried restarting the phone (a 3G, by the way, running the new OS)
Regards, Malcolm

now I have no music in iTunes. Luckily, I'd renamed my iTunes folder, and moved it onto my desktop. I thought it would be a simple matter of replacing the new (empty) iTunes folder with my old one, but this doesn't seem to work. Can someone tell me the best was to get my 3,000-odd songs (and the folders/playlists they're in, etc., back into iTunes?
If you move and rename the the iTunes folder you won't see any music in iTunes the next time you launch it. You can quit iTunes and rename it then put it back or leave it and launch iTunes while holding Option to choose the location of the iTunes library.
See these articles about the iTunes library for more information:

IPhone no longer shows up as a hard disk for photo transfer

When I used to plug in my iPhone it would show up in the My Computer page as an external disk. If I clicked through the folders I could easily move pics from my phone to the computer. I had already shut off the auto open feature of the program select.
Not sure why my iPhone no longer shows up. It shows up fine with iTunes

Greetings,
The iPhone won't work as an external disk, never has, by default. It will show up in iTunes, it is supposed to there, but not on your desktop.
Are you thinking of an iPod Touch, maybe? Maybe you have a phone that was tampered with, maybe?
There are third party apps that might do what you are talking about.
Cheers,
M.

TS1398 Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

not much response in here which surprises me...
Anyway... AS I am still looking for answers, I will share a couple of points that I realised...
in Airport Utility, I noticed that my iphone MAC address was actually showing as client connected, despite my phone network showing the spinning wheel next to the network name for ever and never actually connecting.
I am currently testing the router mode in Network to be on DHCP and NAT mode with a range from .2 to .200
My phone is now connected....
Everything seems to be ok and happy so far...
strange that this router and phone have worked together for at least a couple of years, the phone works everywhere else, and all other toys connect to my WIFI just fine. the list is as follow:
airport extreme
Zeppelin air
2x apple tv
2 ipads
iphone 4s
2 mac
1 pc
I have litterally just hard reset the router with a pin just now as a last resort... same...
I will leave the router as DHCP & NAT until a potential firmware or OS update...

My iPhone no longer works with my wi-fi network. It detects the network but can't communicate, even though it did so until today for months.

My iPhone no longer works with my wi-fi network. It detects the network but is unable to communicate, even though until today it worked great for months. The network is Verizon FiOS Internet on an M1424WR router. PCs and iPad continue to work with the same network without any problem. Any ideas?

have you upgraded to the new ios5 software? if so that could be the issue and contact apple.
