Why won't the volume on my iPhone 5 go down

Hey cacobo,
I found an article that can help with troubleshooting an iPhone's receiver or speakers.
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Hope that helps,
David

  • HT5622 Actually um trying to update new iOS 7 for my iphone 4 but when i press the button to install new software suddenly it appears why " iOs 7 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet " even my phone is already connected

    hie there Actually um trying to update new iOS 7 for my iphone 4 but when i press the button to install new software suddenly it appears why " iOs 7 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet " even my phone is already connected to net

    I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
    Thanks very much for your feedback.

  • My MacBook Pro won't start it just goes beep beep beep when I press the power button

    My MacBook Pro won't start it just goes beep beep beep when I press the power button

    Hi Csound1,
    I haven't added any RAM my daughter was using the computer then it hung so powered it down then the beeping started. Do you know if there is a combination of buttons I can press when powering up that will put me in some kind of  safe mode so that I can find out what's up, I tried pressing D when the beeping started but it didn't make a difference.

  • Sometimes my windows can't be closed down when I press the red button.

    Sometimes my windows can't be closed down when I press the red button on the left corner, but when i press the button next to it, the minimize button it works. This just happens sometimes, why is that?

    two things to try: either click the green "zoom" bottom at the topLeft of the window in the title bar, or go to your System Prefs and then Displays, and increase the resolution that is used

  • I cannot open itunes store from my iphone 4s. When I press the application icon it seems to be open at first but then automatically return to the main menu. What can be the problem?

    Logout of the app store and iTunes store: Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Go back to home screen and  reset the phone by pressing the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears then release them.
    Once phone has finished rebooting go back to  Settings>iTunes & App Store and login with your Apple ID and password again. Then open the iTunes Store app again.

  • Why won't my Premier Elements 13 video production run when I push the play arrow?  It worked yesterday.

    Premier Elements 13
    I am in the process of making a movie with Premier Elements 13; it has been functioning fine--until today. For some reason, it no longer plays when I press the play arrow button to preview recent additions to the script.  I have rendered the files.  I have exited the program and reopened it.  I have turned the computer off and on.  None of his helps.  Any suggestions?

    ATR,
    Thanks for your reply and comments.
    My Premier Elements program 13 is running on a 64 bit computer with Windows 8.1, with all drivers updated—I think.
    When I press the space bar instead of the play button, still no movement at all.
    When I created a new video with just a couple of pictures, still no luck getting the play button or spacebar to work.
    So far, I have not found the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file, even with your instructions.  When I get to "roaming" there is no file for Adobe in that folder.
    Another clue:  When I began to add narration, the microphone did not work, so I changed some settings relating to audio and recording.  The problem with the play button began, I think, as a result my getting the mike to work.  But since I am not exactly sure what I changed, I can’t go back and reset those settings.
    BTW, when I close PE 13 and open PE 11, everything that I created in 11 works fine.  That is, the play button advances the time line indicator, as it should.  So, the problem seems to not be in my computer settings, but something unique to PE 13.

  • Ever since I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5, sometimes when I press the home button just once it will open the app switcher or even the assistive button. Anyone else have this problem? Is it an iOS 8 glitch? Please help - very annoying.

    I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 yesterday and now when I press the home button even once, it opens the app switcher (which is supposed to only open after pressing the home button twice quickly). Sometimes pressing the home button once even brings up the assistive button (which for me should take three button presses). This did not happen before I updated my software. Has anyone else had this issue? Know how to stop it? Very annoying and at this point feel like I should have waited before I did the update.

    Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
    this problem occurs when there is a short circuit  in the phone... you  most likely got  it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly  oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone  is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
    the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip..

  • Sometimes the url's don't update so when you press the "back button" it sends you to the home page instead of the last page visited

    A friend of mine has this webblog and I have never had problems viewing it before I downloaded the new version of firefox. However, once I downloaded the new version, I noticed that every time I press the "back button" after viewing a picture, it sends me back to the blog home page instead of the last page I was on or that I viewed. This also happens with some of the standard websites I visit not just the blogs.

    Right click the Back button and select the page you want to go back to.

  • All of a sudden don't have sound on my phone, music, apps, games, notifications. Don't even have the volume bar on videos to turn it up or down, when I press the manual volume button on the side to turn it up nothing happens. Somebody help me fix this

    Somebody please help me fix this issue!!!

    Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if better. If still problem, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare coverage, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean charging port again with small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

  • Ipad shuts down when I press the home button

    While reordering my app folders, I attempted to use the home button to close some apps and my ipad screen blackens- then the apple icon appears. I my able to "wake" it up again in a minute or so.  A couple of times, the brightness was reset to very low. It's plugged in and has at least 80% charge.  I did a hard reset; problem still ocrruring. I noticed that the app I moved, was back to it's orginal place- weird. Any ideas?

    Try this to calibrate your home button:
    Open a stock iOS app (e.g., Clock). Once the app is open, press your iPad’s power button until the ‘slide to power off’ screen appears. From that screen, press and hold your Home button until iOS force quits the stock app you have open. You’re done!

  • I can't seem to set up my iPhone 5 voicemail, when I press the voicemail dial key it says it has not been possible to connect your call?

    When I try to call voicemail it says it has not been possible to connect your call! But if I dial 222 it acts as if my voicemail is set up but if someone calls me it isn't!
    Anyone can help me please? I'm on 'EE' network

    On iPhones the setup is an OS feature.
    U got to phone -> voicemail -> setup.
    It'll set it up for u. But some times it doesn't let u set it up and doesn't let u access it via the iPhone voice mail feature. This is the problem.

  • The new version of firefox does not shut down when I close the browser it continues running in the background. In addition it opens Adobe Reader for a brief time and then that closes. Everything worked fine before this new version.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I cannot delete unwanted app from my iPhone 5.  They wiggle and show the X but when I press the X it grays our but will not delete or go back to the home page when I press the home button

    The icons wiggle and show the x but they will not delete when I press the X.  Also the home button will not cancel the action.

    Try doing a hard reset: Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    After this, try again to delete the app.
    If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
    In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
    Good luck
