I get no ringing sound for incoming calls

I spent an hour with a Skype tech and they can't fix it. Ever since I upgraded, I have all the usual sound EXCEPT the most important one - the ringing of an incoming call. Does anybody else have this problem? Were you able to fix it? Rick

Start simply. Check the mute button is not enabled, then check Settings > Sounds to be sure the volume is turned up for ring tones.

Hi rsample,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Your symptoms make it sound like the iPhone side switch is set to silent mode.
iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts
Set your device to silent mode
iPhone: Toggle the Ring/Silent switch on the side of the device.

No sound for incoming calls but it works using speaker and earpiece. I can't hear anything but the other party can hear me clearly. I was told it's hardware problem. Would anyone please help? Thanks

This is an annoying problem for many people. Most likely your dock connector (on the bottom where you plug in your phone) is dirty or screwed up and is probably just coincidence that it happened after you updated. Some people have had success cleaning the port with a dry clean tooth brush. There is a long discussion going on at the thread I linked below. Good luck...

Can anyone help me? i am unable hear ring tone for incoming calls from my iphone 4.

Hi,
I am unable to hear incoming call ring tone. But able to talk calls and hear music through headphone.
But without headphone not able to hear music .Is there any settings to control speakers other than sounds.
Can anyone help me to solve the issue.?
By the way vibrate settings are working fine.
Thanks in advance for your help.

First check the silent switch located above the volume buttons on the side. Make sure it doesn't show any oragne.

All of a sudden my iPhone 4 stopped giving out sound... I can change d ringtone n speaker works fine but no sound for incoming calls... No click sound... No keyboard sound...

my iPhone 4 stopped giving out sound..

On the left side of the phone above the volume + and - buttons there should be a toggle switch (silence switch) if you see orange/red that means your iPhone is in vibrate mode and will be quiet.
Switch the toggle so it shows no orange/red and that should correct the issue.
If you still get no sound after that you may want to check your bluetooth to make sure its not connected to another device (sound is being sent there) ...
If that doesn't work, stick some headphones into the headphone jack and see if you can hear the sounds from the headphones... the device may also think there is headphones plug'd in which can also be the issue
If the issue persists past that explore the option of restoring the device from the last time it did make sound and if that doesn't work you may need to contact Apple for other options
Hope this helps!

Length of ringing time for incoming calls

Hi!
My phone only rings 4 times before some message is played to the caller. I never get it in time........ How can I change the length of the ringing?

That's set by your carrier, so contact them to have the length of time increased before calls go to voicemail.

My iPhone 5 doe not ring always for incoming calls. At certain places.

I have contacted two Sprint stores, customer service and technical support over the phone, still no help. There is a cell tower very close to my home, the signal strength is very good, yet it stopped ringing about three months ago. Some times when I an driving it rings even the signal is poor. Using iTunes the phone was backed up and restored to factory settings and then back my settings. All these have not worked. Anybody else has this problem? Appreciate any comments on this. Thank you.

stedman1, You rock man! So many people, including Apple phone support could not help me. I followed your suggestion and now the phone rings. Thanks a lot!

No sound for incoming and outgoing mail

I have a Macbook Pro Retina with the latest OS. I can't get sounds to work for incoming and outgoing mail. Can anyone tell me how to correct this? On my old computer I used to get a ting sound for incoming mail and a whoosh sound for outgoing mail.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I noticed I actually was not getting all of my mail sounds either, I recently wiped my HD and reimported my account and found my mail was all messed up, so I backed up all my mail, deleted all of the accounts and then set them back up and all sounds are back.
Try creating a second account on your device and see if the sounds work in mail there?

After update to OS4.2.1 I can not get the ringer to work for incoming calls

after update to OS4.2.1 I can not get the ringer to work for incoming calls. If I set Vibrate on, that's the only notification I get. Tried everything including blowing away ALL my apps and restoring phone to new. Lost all my apps but the ringer still won't ring

God Bless u! LOL I have an otterbox case on my phone and had no clue that the mute button was there....Thank you so much!! The volume on my movies & everything else worked...even when I would go into "settings" and adjust the volume of the ringtone. I knew it was something simple...Thanks again..

TS2634 My iPhone 4s does not ring for incoming calls. Ring tone is set/settings/sound. It used to ring. I think it has to do with updating to IOS 7.0.4? After updating IOS 7.0.3 my microphone stopped working. Had to clear/reload.

My iPhone 4s does not ring for incoming calls. Ring tone set and used to ring. I think it has something to do with updating the IOS 7.0.4. When I updated to 7.0.3 the microphone stopped working. Had to call Apple Support and cleared phone and reloaded. ($57 charge). Any suggestions?

Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion. There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field. if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it. If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.

No sound at all for incoming calls, txts, games i tried everything reset, restore , delete content and reset , reset network settings. Alarm sounds work but notification sounds don't work please and mute button is in ring mode

No sound at all for incoming calls, txts, games. I have checked the side mute switch. Volume is all way up. All notifications are on. I can hear tones when I go to change them. I can hear my music. I can hear talking on videos I have taken. I have tried everything I know to do(reset,restore,reset network settings,reset content and other settings and mute button is not ON)Please help!

This is exactly the same problem I am having. I dropped the phone one time I think that was the reason. Now I cant seem to find any solution to fix it and it will cost me $149 to buy a new phone? There has to be a way to fix this problem.
When I put it in speaker phone I can hear but not voices through the phone.

I used Mpeg Streamclip last night to take the .mov files to DV, but same thing I put into iDVD and made a disk image. Once all done i opened the image and the videos were there, but no audio.
This first dvd had 2 of the videos in it the totaled about 90mins. I will try using the higher format. Also with having MPEG streamclip now, I guess I should go back to the .WMV files and try to converting form them? instead of the .mov files.

I get no ringing sound for incoming calls
