Iphone 4 sound not working

The sound on my iphone 4 stopped working. It does not ring when I get a call and no alerts when I get text messages.
I checked my sound settings and it is set to receive all sounds and alerts. Why would this stop working? Anyone have this problem.
Thanks.

If you have tried the usual (reset/restart/restore...tried the restore without using a backup to restore from if doing it from a backup did not help) then you should still be under warranty for at minimum another month (if you got your iPhone 4 when it first came to VZW in February 2011). Contact VZW or Apple for assistance. If the problem is due to a defect not caused by something that would void the warranty then it will be replaced under warranty. If you have insurance from VZW that covers accidental damages not covered under warranty then you can use that option if the issue is declared to be due to non-warranty covered problems. When you say your sounds aren't working at all I assume you mean you not only can't hear the email/text alerst, but you also aren't able to hear when a call comes in ringtone sound not playing). Is that the case?

TS3694 I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

My video recording sounds not working but other sounds are working fine, I've tried clearing the little mic thing near my earphone hole and had no success can someone please help me out?

hhi guys
my video recording sounds not working at all but it's working for other things such as music. I've tried to clear my sound thing near the earphone hole but had no success can someone please help me out?

Had an Iphone 4 for about 3 months now. This happened to the first one I had and they ended up having to replace it at the apple store just a couple weeks ago 6/2. It happened again last night to my new one. This time i was able to correct it by going to itunes, backing up the phone to icloud, and then restoring the software. Mine did not work with voice memo, but did work with headphones plugged in, and would also work on speaker. I could hear callers but they couldn't hear me. I had purchased a new case (lifeproof case at $79.99) because it comes with plugs that cover the headphone jack, and the charging port, and is also waterproof. I heard that the root cause is due to lint, dirt, etc getting inside the headphone jack. Well, must be something else. It's a 10 days old phone, and has been in this overpriced case the whole time, and I have not used the headphones. I hope this doesn't keep happening.

HT1430 have downloaded OS6, iphone now not working. Won't activate and iTunes is saying no sim card. what do i do next?

sounds like your phone was hacked to work with your carrier. Now it is relocked to the rightful carrier. It cannot be reactivated without a SIM from that carrier.

Sound not working on my 4s.

I have a 4s, and the sound keeps dropping in and out of not working. When the sound does not work & I press the volume buttons, nothing shows up on the screen. The sound not working isn't a consistent thing, it will be fine one moment and then the next it will be gone and will not work again until the next day.... Any ideas on what is wrong?

I've had exactly the same problem! Also the silent button on the side isnt working either. Calls seem to be ok, but emails sms facebook, none of those sounds work. Have you found a solution?
No I haven't. The difference is that my silent button is working and even sound when receving and email or an sms's. My issue is the sound of the notification of the applications. For example facebook, F1Live24 ..

The speaker on my iphone does not work

iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1.1.
The sound on my iphone does not work, does not the music, or applications or ringtones ... It only works when you are using headphones.
The iPhone did not fall, got wet or struck.
I was listening to music through the speaker and suddenly stopped working.
Already restored it and still does not work.

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

Message tone, music, lock/keyboard sounds not working...tried everything =[

Hey all, iPhone 4s has gone mental!
I have read through many posts on sound not working and i have tried everything, previous back ups, complete restore, clean out the headphone port, hard restore, also the volume buttons on the side when pressed will show ringer but no volume adjustment bar pops up =/ and the change volume with buttons is 'on'
unless my headphones are plugged in nothing works, except my ringtone.
any other suggestions to fix this would be massively appreciated =]
Cheers all

same with me
what we should do??

My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged! When I turn it on (only turns on while plugged into wall) it says it needs to be My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged

My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
If that doesn't work...
Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.
