Hi pokestate73.
Have you tried resetting the iPhone? Hold down the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button until the Power Off slide screen appears, disappears, and then the Apple logo appears. Then let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to try restoring the iPhone in iTunes.
If you've already tried these steps, you may need to make an appointment at your local Genius Bar. The vibration mechanism may have died.

    The vibrate function has stopped working on my iPhone suddenly. I have an 8gb that i purchsed in July of last year. It was fine until today.

  • My vibrate function stopped working

    Any ideas how to fix or why its not working???
    I have had the phone about 8 months.
    Thanks racer

    I would suggest that you double check your vibrate settings, etc., to confirm your device is truly set to vibrate.
    If all testing fails, you can seek repair. Call your carrier first should your device be in warranty.

  • Need help with magic trackpad.  some touch functions stopped working.  battery full and all touch options checked appropriately.  whats the deal?

    i have tried everything but the tap functions stopped working.  any ideas?

    Update: I mucked about more after making this post; I installed gnome-alsa-mixer and checked the "internal mic" option and "Auto-Mute mode" (both were off), after this my headphone output works again, and does the built-in microphone (!)
    I have no idea how I ended up in this "broken" situation, or even what this option does, or how to use it without gnome-alsa-mixer (I had to install 15 packages to get this, as I normally don't use gnome)... Sound on Linux still seems no better than when I started using it 15 years ago :-( (I spent about 5 hours on this...)

  • IPod functions stops working.

    The iPod functions stops working after 5 seconds. I have set the phone with no luck.

    Same thing happened with my mine after downloading a new song from my iphone. I just plugged it into the computer and even before it synced it was working again. Hopefully this helps you.

    I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
    Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider?  How is is at all relevant to Apple??  In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

    Hi, EJ13. 
    I see you are having issues with backing up you iPhone and have tried a couple troubleshooting steps.  There are a couple more steps I could recommend in the article below.

    That's the go-to advice with this one, p. (I certainly don't have much to offer beyond it, but it does a superb job in the vast majority of instances.)

  • Copy and paste function stopped working?

    The copy and paste function stopped working on my laptop (ibook g4, OSX 10.3.9). It does not work in any applications, tried MS word, safari, preview.
    How do I recover this function?
    Thanks.

    Hi Magno2002
    Your Finder may have lost contact with the clipboard, so try this.
    In ~/library/preferences locate these two files and trash them
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    To re-establish them, log out and log back in again.
    You will need to reset your finder and sidebar as you had them before.
    regards roam

  • Autofill function stopped working- Suggestions?

    MacBookPro, OS X - 10.8.5
    Why did my Autofill function stop working? It has always worked fine, but now when I click on the Autofill box that pops up when needed, the box turns blue and then locks on the screen.  No autofill function occurs, the box simply freezes in that screen location and stays there in front screen.  All other functions continue, but the pop-up box remains highlighted blue and frozen in place on the screen.  I can't close it or put behind other windows.  I need to close Safari to eliminate the Autofill pop-up box. 
    Open for suggestions, please.
    Thanks,
    Homey

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    Ok, I am having literally identical issues with Marathon Max.
    I try to connect, and it says, "Itunes could not connect to the itunes store, Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I have contacted my ISP, and they ran a full check, and sayed I should be able to connect to pretty much all websites. I did the whole "ipconfig" thing and that was no help. I also tried the "msconfig" thing, and it sayed it did not recognize it as any kind of command, internal or external command or operable program or batch file. Whats strange is I can connect from another computer just fine, but when offered to upgrade itunes I declined for fear of the same thing happpening. I am tempted to just upgrade it and thus demonstrate that itunes has a flaw in their upgrade. I will save this computers diagnostics, and the other one's too, before and after the upgrade. I look forward to sending more feedback regarding this matter

  • Faces function stopped working

    The 'Faces' function stopped working automatically in aperture and iPhoto. Works only when specifically asked to scan for missing faces and then stops again. Anyone have any ideas?

    First reboot the computer.
    Second make sure the keyboard is plugged in (if it is a desktop).
    Third confirm the copy key combination work in other applications
    Fourth see if you over rode the key combination in the System Preferences > Keyboard preferences pane
