After upgrading to IOS8.1 my microphone stopped working. cannot make a call, cannot record a voice memo, but Siri works !!!

after upgrading to IOS8.1 my microphone stopped working. cannot make a call, cannot record a voice memo, but Siri works !!! Surely this must be software since I presume there are not two microphones, one for Siri and one for everything else. Tried resetting, rebooting, switching off noise cancelling. What else is there?

  • After upgrading to iOS8, I noticed whenever I get a phone call from my iPhone (regular call, not Facetime), my iPad Air rings.

    After upgrading to iOS8, I noticed whenever I get a phone call from my iPhone (regular call, not Facetime), my iPad Air rings.
    How can I turn this feature OFF ? It's annoying having 2 devices ring at the same time.

  • After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out

    After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out.  There is no function at all.

    Ok I fixed the issue, turns out a couple of weeks ago, I downloaded a program that was suppose to help shrink some of your stuff to use less data, it was called Onavo.  It was suppose to show you how much data you use to help keep you within your limits.  If you have downloaded this, go through your settings and delete it and it will fix the problem.  At least it did for me.  I can now send photo's to non Iphone users via text no problem.

  • TS3367 facetime doesn't work well after upgrading to ios8. I need to make a call several times to connect.

    Facetime doesn't work well after upgrading to ios8.
    When I make a facetime call, it doesn't sound some times on the other side.
    When it rings on the other side and is answered, it says (connecting), but it is still ringing on my side and never connected.
    After that, I disconnect and make a second call, it sometimes connects, but not everytime.
    I need to call several times to connect. It is really hard to connect through facetime after upgrading to ios8.
    I purchased three iPad so far because of this good feature (facetime).
    Please fix this issue as soon as possible.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    There are two easy fixes to this.
    One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
    Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
    Hope this helps!

  • After upgrade to iOS8, very slow, no volume slider bar, no volume through the iPad although the headphones work. My volume slider bar now reads"Sound Effects"?? Mute is off, need help. So frustrated!

    I need help! After upgrading to iOS8.1.2 , my volume slider bar disappeared and is now "Sound Effects" ??? I have no external sound. Do have sound through headphones. Mute is off. Have tried resetting several times with no luck. Frustration level is building as I have wasted hours now on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I do not think apple will do much to help you under warrenty,  as this was caused by a fall.  (alas!)
    I think the case is, as you suggest, jamming the rocker down, and it may have damaged the swith itself.  Can you carefully lever it out of the way?   Very very carefully.   If it is already broken, there is not much harm you can do by trying. 
    If it is just the switch being jammed, you might be able to move it out a little.  If it is the swith itself, you will need some real service after your three hour drive.  You might check your loacl area for a closer service repair source.

  • My iphone 5 is very slow after upgrading to ios8.

    my iphone 5 is very slow after upgrading to ios8. What to do? Can I revert to ios7?

    Hello, RobRey77
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.  
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    iOS: Not responding

    I am having this same issue. I live in Korea and changing the language to Korean made the messages searchable, but when I changed back to  English, the problem returned and I was unable to search all my messages via the search window in the messages app, but then, after about 5 minutes, the messages app crashed, and after that, the problem was resolved. Gotta sat that I'm so far unimpressed with ios 8; seemingly not ready for Primetime.

  • I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring.

    I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.

  • After Upgrading to iOS8, the iPhoto Events on my Mac wont sync with my iPad2.

    I recently updated to iOS8 on my iPad2.  During the update I got a message that the update failed and my iPad was stuck in Recovery Mode.  After Restoring my iPad2 and loading the most recent backup, I'm having issues with syncing all of my data back on the iPad.   I have the option selected to sync "Selected Events and Events from the past 12 months" to my iPad2.  After completing a sync, NONE of the events appear on my iPad.  The only photos that are available are in the Recent Photos's section.  I have tried syncing multiple times with no success.
    Any suggestions on how to get these events back on the iPad??
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi,
    Had the same issue.  Hard reset not working.
    What I did was: start your mac/pc and open iTunes, hold down the home button of the iPad (and while holding the button), connect it to the PC with the cable.
    Keep pressing until you get a pop-up asking to upgrade or restore.
    Hope this helps for you!

  • After upgrading to ios8 iCloud won't recognise password on iPhone and iPad only on my Mac Mini and Macbook Air

    After upgrading to ios8 my iPad and iPhone could not sign in to iCloud. The error was either 'server error' or verification failed. I reset the password and verified I could log in via my Mac Mini and Macbook Air but I still get the error on my two iPads and iPhone that verification failed.

  • After upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text

    after upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text

    Go to Settings>General>Keyboards>Predictive Text>ON. If it is on, you can toggle it off and then back on. The other method is to check in the typing area of the Messages app and it could be minimized. You would see a small line in the center just below the typing area. You would just need to put your finger on that small line and swipe upwards. But either should bring it back.
