I can no longer hear my phone "ringing" since latest update. Same ringtone sample in iTunes south louder than it actually play once bought. I am missing calls due to poor volume

My iPhone 4S with latest os no longer "rings" loud enough to hear of phone in holster or pocket. I am missing all my calls. Are there any fixes?

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

  • Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on it works

    Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on I can hear the ringing?

    Don't jump all the way to restoring just yet.  Check to make sure there's nothing in the headphone jack, and nothing covering the microphones (including the noise cancelling microphone at the top next to the headset jack)
    1. Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    2. Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    3. Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    4. Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • I can no longer use gmail with Firefox since it updated today.

    This morning, Firefox had updates for version 3.6.6 and I did this and now gmail is not working. The page loads and I can see my mail, but I cannot open any of the messages or compose a message and I cannot even see the people on the chat feature (I think this feature didn't even load). Since I can use gmail fine on internet explorer and have checked with other people who say there is nothing wrong with gmail, I am assuming it is a problem with the updates to firefox. My yahoo account works in firefox, so I will give you that email to reply to me.

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

  • When i call someone i can not hear the phone ring or the people talking.  they can not hear me either.  what i do notice if i select speaker then i can hear them through the speaker phone only

    If there's an Apple store nearby make an appointment with the genius bar to have it checked.  Be sure to sync it and back it up, as well as import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately (such as by sync them with iCloud) in case it needs to be replaced.

  • My IPhone's volume is not working. I have checked and tried everything. When I use my headset I can hear when phone rings or receive text msg when I pull the jack out I have no sound on anything

    My IPhone's volume is not working. I have checked and tried everything. When I use my headset I can hear when phone rings or receive text msg when I pull the jack out I have no sound on anything

    I had this problem with my 4s a couple of times when I'd taken the headphones out and it hasn't registered it. My solution was easy, all I had to do was turn the phone off and then on again.
    Although I'm sure you've already tried this its a sometimes forgotten and very easy solution to a lot of problems. I hope you find out what's wrong.

  • I can't hear my phone ring (or text or any sounds)

    I went through all of the sound settings but still can't hear anything.  I can get it to vibrate.
    Ever since I updated the operating system, I've been having problems.  I soooo much wish that I never did it!!!
    Thanks for any help!

    This was also driving me nuts as my phone was not on mute yet I could not hear it ring. Then I noticed the little half moon symbol in the top right corner. What was that? It meant 'do not disturb' was on. Somehow - don't know how - the 'do not disturb' function had been turned on, so turning it off (Settings) fixed the problem. Yey!!!

  • After updating old Touch to 3.1.3, can no longer hear on Bose Sounddock. How can I update to an earlier version?

    After updating old ipod touch to 3.1.3, can no longer hear it on old Bose Sounddock. How can I reverse-update to an older version? Or, is there something else I can do? I can hear the ipod on earbuds, but not on the sounddock.

    All the monitoring is done through your sound device, not Audition. When you updated your PC, the sound device playback settings would have been reset. One of them includes input socket monitoring, and it's this that you need to reinstate. Since we don't know what sound device you are using, that's as much as we can tell you, except that if it's an internal device, you'll need to open the volume control options and alter it there. This varies between OS versions though...

  • TS4449 I can no longer hear music on my iPhone unless I use an ear piece could you please help

    For a couple of days now I can no longer hear music (or if I play a video with audio) unless I connect an ear piece. I can't find anything in setting that turns this feature on or off unless I have some hardware problem. Help?

    Try your volume buttons, if the slider does not show, then there is a short in the iPhone charging port. Clean charging port with toothbrush and small amount of isopropyl alcohol. If still problem the replacement part is iPhone charging port with flex cable, lower mic, and home button flex connector, all a single less than $10 part. Apple handles this problem with Warranty or AppleCare with Replacement iPhone 4S, if no coverage it will cost $199 for replacement iPhone 4S.

  • Since my last GarageBand update I can no longer hear the different software amps and effects while I am playing , but they can be heard when I play back the recording

    So I can no longer hear the sofware amp/effects while I'm playing my guitar , but I can hear the software amps/effects during playback after I have done a recording . What's up ? This has happened after my last GarageBand update . I'm using an Apogee Duet .
    Bryan

    I am monitoring through my KRK 8's. I have changed nothing other than the update . I used to be able to hear all of the amps/effects real time , but now it is only after the recording is done and I play it back that I can I hear the amp/effects that I selected for the recording .

    I don't know if this will work but it's worth a try. I wonder if somehow you ended up with a short inside of your iPad. Give the things below are trying to see if that helps. Good luck.
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Adobe Audition, Audigy 2 ZS Platinum, can no longer hear guitar :-\

    I've recently reformatted my computer, installed the Audigy 2 software, and installed Adobe Audition. Using Line In 2 on the front of my pc, I was able to plug in a guitar, and hear the guitar via headphones. I can use the remote's record button to instantly start recording, with no problems. I can also play audio using Itunes.
    When I opened Audition, I immediately received errors saying that my audio device was not configured or whatever, and that I needed to select an audio device. So I went into the Audition settings, chose Soundblaster Audigy 2 [xxxx], specified Line In 2 for the input, applied and exited. Now I can no longer hear the input from my guitar at all, whether in Audition or not. I'm not sure what setting it might have changed on my pc, but any help would be great.

    i opened Surround Mixer, clicked on the red plus (right over Master Volume), only option was "Digital Output Only", nothing else. Installed the latest drivers & software from creative, now I can't hear the guitar input at all. If I play the guitar and record in Audition, i can see the sound levels being elevated, but hear nothing whether in audition or not.
    Other audio plays fine.
    Audio is not muted for line in 2, line in 2 is selected in recording screen, line in 2 playback volume is not muted, yet somehow I can hear nothing from line in 2, and i don't have to be recording a single thing... It just doesn't play back.
