How do I keep the keypad open when making a call? I may need to enter an extension and the screen is black.

After I make a call sometimes I need to enter an extension. When I receive certain calls I need to be able to hit a keypad number. The phone screen goes dark in both situations. How do I keep it lit?

It remains dark even when you move the phone away from your ear?  Is the proximity sensor covered by a screen protector or case, perhaps?
Try hitting the menu button to see if that lights up the screen so you can enter extensions or respond to prompts.

  • Iphone 4 the mike does not work when making a call.  it does work with speaker phone and face time

    Just activated new Iphone 4 and the mike does not work when making a call.  it does work with speaker phone and face time. Any known fixes?

    My wife's iphone 4 also has your same no ring problem as does my iphone 5 just less often.  I called her iphone 4 at home from where I work 20 miles away on my iphone 5.  With her phone in 3G mode ONE call went through and 9 went to voice mail in 10 tries.  This is a 10% sucess rate!!  I also could listen in real time from the wired work phone and the wired home phone.  She turned off 3G mode and it went to "O" mode at  the top left of the screen after the ATT.  In this mode it rang on the first ring tone 5 times out of 5 tries which is 100% of the time.  I have learned that the calling party will hear up to 4 ring tones when placing a call on the ATT network.  If the ring tone changes volume slightly before the 4th ring then and only then will the cell phone start to ring.  If the ring tone does not change after the 4th ring you get voice mail.  If the calling party does not leave a voice message there is never a missed call displayed on the iphone.  If the calling party does leave a voice message a few minutes later the iphone dings for arriving voice mail but still no missed call indication. 
    This appears to be related to the time of day and the ATT tower that the receiving caller is using.  Tried other towers and it works in 3G mode 10 times out of 10 tries.  Apple replaced the first iphone 4 with a new phone, no improvement.  ATT replaced the SIM card and no improvement.  ATT so far is clue less.  This has been going on every since we got the new iphones which is 4 months.  The ATT web site also describes this same problem from several years ago.  Has anyone got better information?
    Thanks

  • Can iPhone create feature which enable authorized user to key in password before switch off the phone? When phone is lost, it may prevent unauthorized user to switch off the phone, by this we can detect our phone's exact location.

  • How can I keep iTunes from opening when I insert a CD?

    I have gone through the preferences again and again, and I can't find a way to keep iTunes from opening whenever I insert a CD. iTunes is not my preferred player/encoder, and I don't want it to open unless I tell it to.
    Case in point, I'm converting many CDs to mp3, using an application that gives me the filename format I want (iTunes isn't that flexible enough to do that). It is annoying for iTunes to keep butting in, every time I insert a CD!
    Thanks for any advice.
    L.

    When you first insert a CD your Mac comes up with a box saying
    "You have inserted a CD" (duuh, Apple...)
    Then you choose from a pop-up menu that offers "Open in Finder", "Open in iTunes", etc
    At some point you (or someone) has chosen "Open in iTunes" then checked the little box that says "Make this the default from now on".
    If you go into System Prefs (as already mentioned) you have a choice to reset what you want to do with a blank CD.

  • How can I keep 16:9-format when making a DVD

    I am trying to make a DVD based on 16:9-films made in iMovie. I want to keep full quality in both pictures and sound. But the dv-file comes out in 4:3, not in 16:9. How do I keep the 16:9-format all the way from iMovie to iDVD (I can not go directly from iMovie to iDVD, because I am going too put more than one film on the DVD)? Do I need Quick Time Pro? I am thankful for a clarifying answer...
      Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Besides starting with a 16:9 iMovie Project you must choose the "Expert Settings" when exporting to QuickTime.
    Choose DV Stream. Double check those settings by clicking the "Options" button. This is where you'll find the aspect ratio for your DV file.

  • How do I keep my tabs open when I close firefox? I have tried the method in this site (tools- options- general- when firefox starts... but it didn't work.

    I used to be able to close firefox and have all my opened tabs saved. When I open firefox again, those tabs will be opened as I last closed firefox.
    Now, I am not able to do it. The firefox was crashed at one time earlier and I have to open the task manager to force it to close because it is frozen and so was my computer. After I opened it again, there is no tabs saved which I kinda expected. Then I
    go on web surfing and browse various websites. Now, when I close firefox, a box pops up warning me about the opened
    tabs will be closed. So I googled the symptom and it brought me to this website, telling me that if I set
    "tools->open->general->When firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", it should behave as it was before.
    I tried that but it doesn't work.
    Any help is appreciated.

    In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history:
    *do not clear the Browsing History
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.

  • I don't want to use the head phones when making a call.  How do I turn up the ear volume on the iphone 4se

    I can't hear people when they call me.  How do I raise the volume with out using the head phones?

    You can only raise and lower the earpiece volume while you are on a call. So, make a call, then use the bottons on the side to adjust the volume. If you're not in a call, those buttons will adjust the ringer/media volume.

  • TS4050 I keep losing most of my contacts from all my devices. I enter new ones and the next morning they are gone again on all my devices, iPad Mac and iPhone 4s

    I had 874 contacts yesterday and they were all synchronized with all my other Mac products. This morning only 134 are left on all devices. I entered another 34 more entries into the iCloud contacts and they synchronized with all the devices and this morning they are all gone and back to 134 yet again.
    Anyone any ideas.

    Thank you - I have done this now but resetting and restoring from another device didn't really help. However, syncing via iTunes was a bit more successful as it occurred to me that many of my contacts are in MS Outlook on my PC and I was able to copy them over.  There are still some contacts missing and I am continuing to try and figure out where they originate from to try and get them to show up.

  • How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?

    How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open
    when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?
    I am using the accordion feature on all my pages as a
    navigation aid. It has three panels. When you refresh the page the
    panel goes back to the default pane... Is there a way of
    controlling this so that the browser can remember the pane that is
    open (say set a variable, cookie, other?)

    Look for "Set the default open panel" on the following page:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/accordion_overview/index.html
    Keep in mind you would need to change that bit of code on
    every page. The only way to do it more dynamically would be to
    include a custom javascript or PHP/ASP style script in order to
    change the value.

  • How to keep original email open when replying?

    I bet this is somthing simple, but I just can't figure it out. When I click reply on an email, the original closes. It's no big deal, but I like to have the original open to refer back to. Is there a way to set my mail to keep the original open when replying. Thanks in advance
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Got my new MacBook. It's a wonderful thing!!! Video iPod!! Lots of toys!!!

    You're welcome.
    I am not getting the other option about keeping
    the preview pane visible.
    It seems you're not aware that the part of the main window where messages are listed can be split in two parts: the messages list at the top and the preview pane at the bottom. You can do this by either (1) dragging upwards the thin horizontal separator bar that's at the bottom of the window, or (2) just double-clicking on that bar (it has a tiny hole in the middle).
    How come when I delete an email in my .mac account,
    I have to delete it twice from the trash?
    Well, the answer to that question is way more involved than you might think.
    The behavior you've observed happens in Mail to any IMAP-type account for which deleted messages are stored locally (i.e. Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Store deleted messages on the server has been turned OFF). The "reason" is that storing deleted messages locally for IMAP-type accounts causes Mail to move deleted messages in that account to a Deleted Messages (AccountName).mbox folder located within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.
    Deleting a message already in a Trash mailbox should cause the message to be permanently erased, BUT deleting a message from a mailbox located within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/ (i.e. an "On My Mac" mailbox) should cause the message to be moved to the "On My Mac" Trash. Thus, in the particular case of a Deleted Messages (a Trash) mailbox stored within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/, there are two conflicting behaviors, and it seems that Mail takes the latter into consideration first, i.e. deleting a message from the account's Trash under those conditions causes it to be moved to the "On My Mac" Trash instead of being permanently erased as would happen if the Deleted Messages folder was located within the account folder.
    This could very well be an oversight (a bug) rather than intended behavior, but that's how it works in the current version of Mail. If you're curious, the following somewhat amusing (but also lengthy and confusing) threads would give you an idea of how long it took me to figure out this one:
    emails won't delete on first try
    IMAP messages need trash deleted twice

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
    You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
    [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
    You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

  • TS3274 I keep getting an error when trying to download a tv series right on my iPad from the iTunes store. I am able to download on my laptop then synchronize but it's a hassle specially if my laptop is not with me. All other Apps seem to be working fine.

    I keep getting an error when trying to download a tv series right on my iPad from the iTunes store. I am able to download on my laptop then synchronize but it's a hassle specially if my laptop is not with me. All other Apps seem to be working fine. Help!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.
