Why is this happening? calls not coming through properly.

I have done a few searches on google. but i have found nothing that really answers my problem. everything is from the 2.0/2.1/2.2 era.
Ok, My problem:
1. When someone calls me, sometimes my phone plays ball and rings as it should do. Other times, like when my mum rang before, it doesn't ring, vibrate, display a message on the screen, or say 'Mum. four missed calls' when i go to unlock it. All it does is log an entry in my phone app, the missed calls are there but why is it not ringing?
2. This has also happened a few times, and i had forgotten about this issue until i read it on an old forum, and it appears related to prob 1. When i try to send an SMS it doesn't always work, 8 times out of 10 it does. but it is still happening, i get a little red circle with an exclamation mark inside it.
3. When i send an SMS and it works, people report getting several copies of them. this is also related to the other probs. It also sometimes has happened to me, i have received dupe copies of a message someone only sent once.
I am running the latest, 3.?? firmware, i cant remember the number but is the latest one.
Thanks Guys,
Joe

Calls not coming through

Hi have the subscription for unlimited calling to both the U.S and Canada. My calls are coming through from U.S landlines and mobiles but when someone from Canada tries calling all they get is a beeping noise. Can someone please help me.

If you have the Unlimited USA & Canada subscription, you should be able to call telephones in both countries. If someone is trying to call you, are they calling you directly to your Skype account name? Did you also purchase an Online number , so people without Skype can call your Skype account from a telephone? Purchasing that subscription by itself does not provide a way to receive calls from telephones.

IPhone 3G S - Calls not coming through. Text Message Delays in NYC

I know it's not a down tower.. I was just transfered to a "Tier-2" ATT tech rep.
Here's my problem.. Between 25-50% of my calls are not showing up on my phone, they just go straight to voicemail.
I upgraded from the 3G 16gb to the 3G S 32GB yesterday and noticed these side effects immediately after activating through iTunes. The tech re-activated my phone to the new sim card and had me reset my network settings through general -> reset -> reset network settings..
Before I go and bring my 3G S back to the store and
a) Exchange it
b) Return it all together
Has anyone else experienced these issues? I also noticed text messages have been delayed anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours.

I am seriously disappointed here.
I own the black 32GB iPhone 3GS and have been an iPhone user since the original iPhone 2G in 2007. I have upgraded my iPhones every year and religiously use Mac products. I am not a fan boi. Mac products work for me.
Except the 3GS.
I need so help here.
I purchased the 3GS not because of the 3G data advantage but because of the video recording features and the compass and the general battery life enhancement.
Let me give you a run down.
I have 4 email accounts: MobileMe-Push, AOL- Fetch, Yahoo-Push and Gmail on fetch.
I have 1,465 songs, 13 videos and 1497 photos. Of those, only 5 were taken by the 3GS' camera. I have 17GB free. I don't rush to fill space. I have 46 application installed.
Now there are three things that are happening that never happened on the other phones that have me deeply disturbed and praying that Apple issues a fix because this is serious!!!
I got the phone about 3 weeks after its launch.
It burns through the battery and that incoming call issue.
I use the term 'burn' because the phone does get hot and it has never lasted more than 1 day in standby.
However, all of that stops when I turn the push notifications and push email off.
When I turn push notification off for Beejive and I turn push off for Yahoo! and MobileMe and restart the iPhone, I realize on a full charge it lasts long. I get all my calls and text and everything.
But that is an inconvenience.
I, like many iPhone users, have opted to not sync my contacts through iTunes but use MobileMe instead. Not only that, but Apple's MobileMe 'Find My iPhone' feature only works with the push services on.
All of this is with 3G services turned off in the Network settings. I prefer to use the Edge as I have a 10 Mbps wifi network readily available and I don't require the speed for YouTube so much as I listen to music and rarely use the online video service.
With Push email on and Beejive push notifications on, I do not receive any calls. Callers hear my line ring twice then it goes to voicemail. I don't even get the voicemail notification until hours after. Same thing with text. I always get delayed text whenever I make a call.
Wasn't it Apple's idea to do push notification as compared to background processing to save battery life? So must I chose between push notifications and push email and being able to receive my phone calls? And what's the use of use push notifications when it eats battery life anyway? How come the 3G and the 2G running 2.2.1 give this problem. And Apple insults people when they tell us to turn Push notification of! I NEED my push emails. I do business with contacts in IM and if they didn't want to give us background processes why make a big deal about push notification and profess that it doesn't use all that battery life? Why is it 2.2.1 never gave these problems.
AT&T ***** but it is not all their fault. I know this is an iPhone issue because when I put the SIM card in another phone, it works perfectly.
I did not upgrade to 3.0 to have to chose between push email and receiving calls and battery life. The 3G worked just fine. The 2G worked just fine.
I seriously hope that 3.1 addresses this because this is utter nonsense!
The iPhone is the best in it's class otherwise I would have seriously ditched it long time and gotten a Pre or an Android phone but they are not close. Their app offering ***** and the iPhone's keyboard is really good. (I'm a God with that thing!)
Give me a 2.0 for my 3GS and let me at least live with push email and be able to receive calls.

Calls not coming through, text messages not being sent

My Note 2 has been acting up the last several days, and since I use this phone as my primary business line. My text messages are hit & miss when sending/receiving, and when clients calls - i pick up, and NOTHING. and when i try to call back - NOTHING.. just silence, not even a ring. What gives?
Why is my phone doing this? This is frustrating.

There is two things to try.
1) hold down the power button and the large center button until the iPhone resets. ( hard reset) if that corrects the problem all is well. http://m.wikihow.com/Hard-Reset-an-iPhone
2) go into settingshttp://ipod.about.com/od/iphonetroubleshooting/ht/Factory-Reset-Iphone-4.htm which is a total reset of the device. Then it takes you through the set up process again. You will need your apple id and password. You will also have to click on the phone icon, voicemail and follow the set up prompts. Under settings mail ,cntacts and calendars you then enter your email settings again. You will want to turn on imessage in the settings. Your apps can be reloaded either via iTunes on a computer or from the Apps Store on the device, under purchased, not on this iPhone.
All this is on the phones manual under Safari. Or online owners manual.
Good Luck

Skype calls not coming through on Windows Phone 8....

Hello All, I have a Skype number and am travelling in Europe. My wifi is working and I can email, make calls via Skype, etc. I just can't get incoming calls. I do get emails saying that I missed a call and people that call me then text me and say that my phone number goes to voice mail. I have already uninstalled the app and reinstalled it per Skype support. This did not work. Not sure what to try next. This did work when I was in the US - I tested it by calling from another line. Regards, Rob

"Clip Time" not coming through properly from P2 Cards

Hi,
I'm using Log and Transfer to bring across video shot yesterday. I setup a custom Name Preset to include the time the clip was shot at. The clips aren't coming across with the actual time they were shot though. The first few clips were shot around 7:30AM and are coming across as "01-30-09", which I'm assuming means 1:30 and 9 seconds. I checked the time on the camera (HPX-170) and it is set properly, but the timezone wasn't... it was set at 00:00, but should have been -06 :00.
The workflow so far:
1. Shot on HPX-170 to two 64GB A series P2 cards
2. Used Pansonic's P2CMS to transfer clips from camera to external hard drive (does anyone else use this software? It seems to do a good job, but is the ugliest thing ever. Any other options?)
3. Using Log and Transfer to bring clips from external drive to internal RAID.
Here's the Clip metadata:
<CreationDate>2010-09-29T07:30:09+00:00</CreationDate>
<LastUpdatePerson>stevemebs</LastUpdatePerson>
<LastUpdateDate>2010-09-29T16:04:57-06:00</LastUpdateDate>
It seems like maybe the problem is that the time zone isn't set properly on the camera, but is set properly on my computer (-06:00) so the clips were automatically adjusted to local time. Is there any way to adjust this on the clips so they come in with the proper times? Without going through and editing the metadata on all 50 clips preferably.

I use ShotPut Pro. It not only will automatically create the folders, with names, and backup the cards when you insert them, but it will also do a data verification. All automated.
After you make the disk image, do you use Find & Transfer to transfer the clips directly from the P2 cards in the camera? (I'm assuming you can't transfer from the .dmg.)
NO NO NO! From the backup. Because you have those Unique file names, those names are your REEL numbers. So you can track the footage.

When I open about this mac - more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth). Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desk-downloads)

When I open about this mac -> more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth) even though all the mac (programs , interface ) works smooth . Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desktop-downloads -no garbage there- everything neat and tidy.) Need some help. Only there it the animations goes like 2 fps and is not smooth. I do not understand why because the programs are the same so its the usage. Nothing is changed, yet i experience this little issue for a couple of days.

OK, I'm confused. When I do About this Mac > More Info in OS10.9, I don't see any animation other than the window resizing. Is that the animation you are describing?
Which if any of the following apply to your computer:
1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?
6) Did your financial institution ask you to install Trusteer EndPoint Protection (also known as Trusteer Rapport)?

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.

While trying to instal Mountain Lion OS on my macbook pro, I got the error message that my HD was damaged and it reverted to my Lion OS. Why does this happen? I bought the OS online through the app store

While trying to instal Mountain Lion OS on my macbook pro, I got the error message that my HD was damaged and it reverted to my Lion OS. Why does this happen? I bought the OS online through the app store.

The Mountain Lion installer looks at your internal drive to make certain that it's error-free before continuing installation. You should have an application named "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" in your Applications folder now so you shouldn't have to download it again. Do this...
Boot to your Lion recovery partition by holding down both the Command and the R keys while booting. Open Disk Utility from the Recovery partition and select your hard drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it) and click on Verify Disk. If you come up with any errors, click on Repair Disk. At the end of the cycle you will get a message that the disk was successfully repaired or a message that the hard drive could not be repaired.
If you're able to repair the disk, just reboot as normal and open the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" and the installation will proceed. If Disk Utility was unable to repair the disk, you need to get to your local Apple Store as soon as possible so that they can see if the disk is salvageable or beyond repair.
Good luck,
Clinton

You may also want to check your space available as you only get 5GB free. It's unlikely that this is what you are experiencing, but it can certainly cause you not to receive any emails that don't fit.

Yahoo email account on iphone 4s error message MFMessageError Domain error 1032 keeps coming up trying to log into my email. Why does this happen?

I'm trying to log in to my yahoo email account on iphone 4s and the error message MFMessage Domain error 1032 keeps on coming up. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

What worked for me was resetting my password on my email then rebooted my iPhone 4S.

HT201317 My photos are syncing from my iPhone, to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but it is no longer syncing to my computer (Microsoft, not Apple). Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved?

My photos are syncing from my iPhone to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but they are no longer syncing to our home computer (Microsoft operating system, not Apple). Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved? I have since tried to remove and reinstall the iCloud application in my computer's control panel. I have verified that I am using the latest Apple operating system and the latest iTunes. I have reset my photo stream. Not sure what else to try... I was also having an issue with my calendar where it would sync from my computer to my iPhone but not vice versa. Somehow in all the resetting that's resolved, but the photo issue is not. Again - photos are going into the photostream, but not wirelessly being put into the file on my computer.

To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
