How can I fix: problem when making or receiving calls I must be on speaker, otherwise the person on the other end can't heAr me

When making or receiving phone calls I have to be on speaker for the other person to hear me. What can I do to fix this

Had the same problem when my dock connector of the iphone got wet. The phone thought that it was docked the whole time so the mic and speaker didn't work. The iPhone actually has 2 microphones. One is at the bottom by the dock connector (which is used for normal calls), and the other is a tiny whole at the top by the headphone jack, which is used for speakerphone. I would say that either the bottom mic needs replacing, or the dock connection is faulty or damaged and it is not able to use the bottom mic.
Best bet would be to get it to Apple who will normally fix this kind of thing without fuss. Hope that helps.

  • How come photos of contacts appear so small when making or receiving calls?

    How come photos of contacts in my OS 10.6.3 Address Book appear so small when making or receiving phone calls? They only show up on the top right of the screen as a tiny square. Does anyone know why? Is there a fix for this?

    If you take the pictures with your phone, they will be the size of the screen. Pictures from the contacts on your mac will show up in small size.

  • TS3276 When I reply to an e-mail it comes out blank the other end?

    I do not have problems sending e-mails but when I reply to an e-mail it sends but comes out blank the other end?

    '''re: Forwarding'''
    You have the option to forward the received email 'inline' or as an 'attachment'.
    This can be set up here:
    'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Composition' > 'General' tab
    This is because you are not responding to a specific email - you are selecting to forward information from a different person to another person, which may be best sent as an attachment.
    '''re: Reply'''
    In this instance you have the option to either:
    * include the received email in a reply
    * Not include the received email in a reply
    * include selected part (quote) of received email in reply.
    A Reply implies a continued conversation and so the option to include the conversation is available.
    This is set up here:
    'Tools' > 'Account Settings' > 'Composition & Addressing' for the mail account.
    But regardless of whether you choose to 'automatically quote the original message when replying' or not, you can always highlight a section of text and then click on 'Reply' to include only the selected section of text.
    A Reply will also not include any attachments that were received attached to the original email because you do not need to send back the senders own attachments.
    Otherwise you create a new 'Write' message and attach the original email, so it is not technically a Reply - you do not use the 'Reply' button and these emails will not be threaded. It makes it more difficult to see continuity of conversation.

  • HT1414 when i facetime somebody they cant hear me, and also when i record a video the sound is muffled. there isnt a problem when making a phone call. any solutions?

    when i facetime someone they cant hear me, and also when i record a video there is no sound, however when i make a phone call there is no problem. any solutions?

    When I try to make a call it will go through and I can hear the other person but they cannot hear me, is there a setting that disables the speaker when using the headphones to try to make a call, also speakerphone automatically goes on when I start a call which I do not like, any suggestions how to fix this?

  • When I send youtube videos on my macbook they are blank the other end.

    When I email Youtube videos on my macbook pro they are blank when the recipient recieves them?

    Hello nainmer
    The best way to take care of this in one of two different ways, one is to play the movie and the right click on the video and select Set Poster Frame. The other is if you already have an image to have it as the artwork.

  • When making or receiving calls on my iPhone 4, I can hear the person on the other end, but they can't hear me. This happens most of the time, but occaisionally, it works! Sometimes it starts during the call...Can you help me?

    Infos:
    IPhone 4, 32 GB
    IOS 7.1.2
    Problem:
    Videos, memos and other sound microphone using applications work without any problem. It just appears when calling or being called. Sometimes it starts during the call.
    Situation:
    I sent my damaged IPhone 4 to apple for reparation. I bought it for 180 € + 20 € for my retailer.
    Some calls later this problem started (only at the new or repaired IPhone). My 3 month warranty is almost over (4 weeks left)
    Steps to solve the problem:
    - rebootet the IPhone several times
    - made a backup (iCloud and ITunes) and recovered it again
    - I set back all settings to standard.
    --> Nothing changed
    Then I went to my retailer, who sent it to Apple, but I just received a sheet of paper where they said, they did nothing.
    Surprisingly the problem still exists. Started at the second call I received. Now the warranty time is going to run out in 4 weeks.
    Open Questions:
    What else can I do? I have a not working IPhone and nobody want's to help me ?!? I feel lost and disappointed. Do they want to cheat me, so my warranty runs out? Thanks for any help

    MacBook Air does not run iOS.  It runs OS X (pronounced as in OS - ten).  You can check which version you have by clicking the Apple logo in the upper left of the menu bar, then "About This Mac".  The current version is OS X 10.8.4.  If you do not have that version, you can click "Software Update" just below the "About This Mac" entry under the Apple logo.
    Anyway, typically, the reason for the FaceTime behavior you're describing is a less-than-robust internet WiFi connection.

  • HT4199 how do I fix it when "another device is using computer IP address" and I can't get wireless to work anymore? It used to work fine.

    How do I fix it when "another device is using computer IP address"? Airport used to work fine. I've already tried turning everything on and off several times.

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
