How to silence incoming text and phone calls on iphone 5

I have an IPhone 5 and I cannot get it to silence the alarm sound when I am receiving a new text or incoming call.

Howdy morrissign,
I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn how to silence your device. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on how to do that:
iPhone Buttons
Adjusting the Volume
When you're on the phone or listening to songs, movies, or other media, the buttons on the side of iPhone adjusts the audio volume. Otherwise, the buttons control the volume for the ringer, alerts, and other sound effects.
To adjust the volume, use the buttons on the side of iPhone.
Flip the Ring/Silent switch to change between ring and silent modes.
When set to ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. When set to silent mode, iPhone doesn't ring or sound any alerts or sound effects (alarms set using Clock do sound). By default, when you get a call, iPhone vibrates whether it's set to ring or silent mode.
If iPhone is set to ring mode, you can silence a call by pressing the Sleep/Wake button or one of the volume buttons once. Press a second time to send the call to voicemail.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Email, Text and Phone call alerts

Hi. I just got my BB Tour and was wondering if there is a way to silence email alerts while keeping text and phone call ring tones active? I've tried adjusting the profile under Message Alerts section but it doesn't work. I've silenced everything but SMS text and Phone but I still get a ring tone whenever I get an email. It's annoying since emails come relatively often.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I was confused by this as well, but it eventually just sorted itself out.
There was probably a reboot involved.
I do remember selecting "None" for the email alerts, and still getting them. Then, it was fixed.
If you haven't already, try removing the battery and rebooting. I know, it's the same lame suggestion for everything, but at least I offer hope that it's fixable.

There are two buttons on the left side of your phone, one with a "+" etching, and one with a "-" etching. Click those to turn your volume up or down.

HT1766 How can I transfer texts and phone history? From iPhone 4 to 5s

Does anyone know how to transfer texts and call history (ph#'s especially) from former iPhone 4 to iPhone 5s?

Make a backup of the old device and restore the new device to that backup. You will get an exact duplicate of the old phone.

Phone not ringing for incoming texts or phone calls

I have an Iphone 4S and have installed some Ringtone songs via Itunes. However frequently the phone does not play these tones when I receive a text or a phone call. The ringer is turned ON and the volume is at it's loudest. It has helped to turn off the phone for a short bit of time and then turn it back on. However, I miss several texts/calls a day due to this. I am wondering if it is due to the special ring tones or if my phone is not working properly.

It could be the ringtones in question, change to a different ringtone for the contacts in question or in general and see if the problem goes away.

HT1222 having problem's receiving texts and phone calls and all contacts are coming up as unknown when they ring

Hi. I recently bought a new iphone 4s two weeks ago. with the last two day's people cannot get throught to me, Even do i have full reception on the vodafone ireland network it says my phone is powered off. Also when someone does eventually get throught to me there number comes up "unknown" even do its saved in my contacts and there name used to show up. Also i receive text message a few hours after there orignaly sent... Please help!!!

You shouldn't be charged if it's a hardware issue, it is under warranty for one year. As stated above, out sounds like something you installed like a messaging app. Keep in mind that not all applications in the market are safe. Factory reset and try again. If that doesn't help, go into a dealer and demand a replacement.

Cleaning up email, text, and phone

Just moved from a BlackBerry to Droid Razr Maxx and don't intuitively find a way to Delete All for email, text, and phone lists. Any advice? Thank you.

Congratulations on the upgrade to your new Razr Maxx.
The OS with an Android is considerably different than the OS for the Blackberry.
With that being said, there isn't a way to delete email, texts and phone calls all in one swoop.
To delete multiple emails, you can go to the email icon, select Menu, Select all.
To delete multiple text messages you can go to the Messages, long press on the message conversations you want to delete and they will turn blue. In the upper right hand corner you will see a trash can and it will delete the selected messages when pressed.
To clear call logs, go to the the Phone icon, press menu and Clear List.
I hope this has helped.

How do I get iMessage and phone to ID proper contact card when caller's appears on multiple cards?

I'm trying to set up the "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Contact Card on my iPhone. (As recommended by Emergency Personnel, as it is the card they will look for on your phone in the event you are in an accident.)
After inserting my Brother's and my Son's numbers as the contact numbers, whenever i receive a Text or Phone call from either one of them, the call or text is identified as being from ICE. So all photos, ringtones etc don't show up, and i don't know initially if the call is from my brother or my son.
I'm assuming that is happening because the iPhone finds the first instance of the number while searching alpabetically through the contact list. Since ICE occurs alphabetically before the contact cards for my son and my brother, the texts and calls get id'ed as being from ICE.
Is there a way to set the individual cards for my son and for my brother as the default cards to be used when identifying incoming texts and calls?
Since the use of the ICE card is recommended by emergency personnel, perhaps Apple might come up with a solution for an ICE card for those of us with surnames occuring after "I" in the alphabet.
Any help is appreciatied.
Thanks,
Ian

Text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5

text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5. I backed up my 4 before activating my 5. Can i retrieve them somehow?

i would not want to bet on nokia ever releasing a patch or update in the software to allow this function on this particular phone.
if you look at nokia phones over the years, they have added functionality like this across a wide range all at once, take for example timed profiles on symbian phones. these have only just been phased in.
i do not think it is a development cop out, more along the lines that nokia is a huge company and as such would have a huge effor in market research. if they didnt pick this out through their market researc, why spend the money adding it?
the comment on annoyance is entirely personal to me, as it is important to you - you may want to consider moving to a symbian (series 60) based handset as these give you a lot of expansion for this sort of need.

How to I get my contact names to show up in messages and phone calls?

My contact names have stopped showing up in messages and phone calls. How do I fix this problem?

Did you change your region settings recently? (if so, set it back to the region you had before)
Have you checked to see if your contacts are syncing properly in iCloud? (do the contacts match what you have online?)
