How do I put my phone on silent??? And txt messages appear on screen even though I have it locked, how do I change this to show who it's from rather than the contents of message???

Settings - sounds - silent

  • My iPhone has a protective cover on it and I carry it in my pocket a lot.  Quite often when I take it out of my pocket the silent/ring switch is off and I am sure it was on when I put the phone in my pocket.  How can this be happening?

    Protective cover as in screen protector?  This would have nothing to do with the silent switch.
    If you're referring to an actual case though... take the case off and see if the problem continues.
    It may be as simple as the silent switch being lose, which will require a device replacement to resolve.

  • My iPhone is a iPhone 3GS. For some reason, the ringer becomes silent although I have put the ringer on full volume. Would someone kindly teach me how to solve this problem? Many thanks!!

    Just to make sure... you have the phone in ringer mode right? Sometimes the switch on the side gets bumped (especially if you don't have a case on the iPhone) and goes into silent. If you see a orange line on the switch - it's on silent.
    If the switch is fine (and isn't loose or anything) try restoring the iPhone in iTunes.

  • HT1414 When I hit restore a file menu from my computer pops up and I am not sure what file to put in to get my iphone to restore from.  I don't get the box that says are you sure you want to restore.  So how do I get it to restore so I can see if this fix

    I got a "new" iphone from the Apple store when my dog bit the phone and cracked the front.  This new phone will not play any music, ie no sound will come out.  I can watch videos with sounds but no music from any of my playlists.  I checked with Apple and was told to try to restore my iphone.  I did all the necessary prep work like backing up and syncing and then hit the restore button on the iTunes page.  A file menu icon popped up with a blank in it and I do not know what file I need to put in the window as where it needs to find a file to restore the phone.  I never got a message that said are you sure you want to restore the phone.  I need some help if anyone knows how to do this or should I just go back to the Apple store (which is over an hour away)?  Thanks

    I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current.  Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.

  • How do you put Voice Memos from iPhone to computer?

    I've had a very long chat with Apple Support and they don't seem to know the answer.
    My voice memos are important and are above 30MB so emailing isn't an option.
    I first synced my memos to my iTunes as usual (music doesn't sync with the library, bear in mind) and expected all my memos to appear, however they didn't. They appeared in the "on my device section" but I couldn't play them as the exclamation point appeared.
    Under Apple's instruction I updated to the new iTunes, and now the previous memos don't even appear in the "on my device" section. They said it's likely to do with ios 8. The memos I want were created in ios 8. And now they've randomly been duplicated on my phone so I have two of each?
    So after this iTunes update, I made a new memo, which again was duplicated, but now appears in the "on my device" part.
    What do I do to put the memos onto my computer somehow? I really need them!

    The following is pre iOS 8 but may have something that you missed: http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iosapps/transfer-voice-memos-from-iphone-to-com puter-3526349/
    One new thing I learned from it is that Evernote which I use for keeping some text notes in sync among various devices has a voice memo capability. Those would be automatically transferred. Here is some more information on that if you want to check it out for future use: https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/28606837

    How do you transfer the content from an iPhone to a PC? I have to use a PC for a while and don't know how to put my stuff on to there from my phone

    If you're talking about music and movies an i-device was not designed for unique storage of media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing music and movies is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred from a device to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I recently purchased a movie (Prometheus) on my computer through iTunes and every time I try to put it on my iPhone, it fails. How can I successfully sync this video? Mind you, every other file syncs flawlessly.

    Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
    The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

  • How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?

    How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?
    Even when I try to change the featured artist in my I tunes, it won't stay with my other songs, and I want to be able to listen to my album in the order of the songs that the album has it.

    The iTunes/iPod software isn't set up to let you sync songs from more than one libray, but if you manually manage the iPod you can add tracks from multiple computers without removing the existing content. Personnaly I think syncing with a library is a much better way to manage your iPod, so I'd suggest you just copy the stuff you bought at work onto a memory stick, then take it home and import it into your iTunes library there.

  • If you deleted a  device off of find my iphone.how do you get the device to start back up agian and put it back on find my iphone?

    if you deleted a  device off of find my iphone.how do you get the device to start back up agian and put it back on find my iphone? becuase i have delted my dads iphone acedentily of find my iphone and it is nownot working. his phone is just staying at a black screen with a loading circle on it. i need to know how to fix this..like do i go the to apple store or the carrier store or can i fix it at home?

    Try these two ways to fix the iPhone (in order).  If neither works, you would have to take it to the store.
    1.  Reset the iPhone.  Hold the on/off and home buttons togehter for about 10 seconds.  If it works, you'll get the Apple logo and then something good should happen.
    2.  Try recovery mode as described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If one of these work, you can then re-introduce the iPhone to Find My iPhone by doing Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone = "On" on the device.

    How do I put all of my movies and music from my iPad 2 to my iPhone 4s?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You may well be simply able to redownload them depending on your location, otherwise you will have to transfer them to iTunes on a computer and then to the phone from iTunes.

        If this method does not work, then you will need to fully Restore your
        device as New
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
    If none of the above do what you need, then do the following:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
