IPhone 5c will not sound for a text

My phone would ping when a text came in but for some reason stopped!

Press and hold the Power button AND Home button for 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. That should fix it for you. If it doesn't, we're talking about a different issue that may require more extensive troubleshooting.

    MMS is a carrier issue... contact Verizon and ensure your account is provisioned correctly.  I would think that someone would be intelligent enough to do that before buying a new device, but......
    iMessage could be an activation issue or a network issue.
    Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
    Does iMessage work consistently on Wi-Fi?

  • My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times

    My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times.  My brother has the same phone, lives in the same home and doesn't have this problem.  I can't receive messages without my iphone displaying a message asking for my phone number at random times. It happens intermittently.  Does anyone know why this happens? I am referring to regula text messages not imessages.  I have turned it off and also updated to the most recent software. thanks

    I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

    Hello lyngos,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:

    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • My iPhone 4 will not send or receive texts.

    My iPhone 4 has all the latest software in it. It will not send or receive texts. When trying to send a text it says not delivered .It was working and then just stopped. I did a reset on the phone but it didn't seem to help me.

    SMS is a carrier feature, what did they tell you whether your SMS is properly provision?

  • My moms iPhone 3GS will not search for software updates

    My moms 3GS will not search for software updates it keeps saying there was error.
    And my dads will go the download and installing but that is it. It won't do it.
    They both want the iOS 5.1

    No idea.  How would we know?  What happens when you try?

  • My iphone 4s will not ring for incoming calls...I've checked Do not Disturb, changed my ringtone to default and did a soft reset.  It will vibrate but not ring.  What can I do?

    My iphone will not ring when calls come in.  I have it set to ring and vibrate.  The Do not disturb is turned off and I have reset it but still it will not ring. What can I do?

    Check and see that the silent mode switch on the upper left side is toward the front of the iPhone and there is no orange or red showing.

  • Iphone will not ask for password for mifi networkn

    My iPhone 4 will not ask for network password for Verizon MIFI network. Macbook & iPad both asked for password.

    Go to Settings > General > Cellular > Setup personal hotspot on the iPhone.  Is there a place for a password? Do you have the password stored in the iPhone but not in the MacBook and iPad?  Check these settings and see if there is a fix for it.  Otherwise, this might be something that can only be addressed by your carrier (Verizon).

    At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it???  I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

  • Overnight, text body of emails will not display for messages in inbox-only the from and to and a subject line displays. Draft messages in Ipad display fully. Inbox emials display fully on my main  Dell computer and my Iphone. Any ideas?  Duanekot

    Overnight, the taxt body of emails will not display for all messages in the inbox.  Only the From and To and a subject line display.  All messages in my Draft Mailbox display fully. Also, all emails in my Dell laptop and my Iphone display fully.  Any ideas?? Duanekot

    See if this helps .... Reset the iPad.
    Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider bar - let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up. Then check your emails.

  • FIXED (for me at least): iPhone 3gs will not sync with Gateway NV79

    I’ve spent months trying to fix this miserable problem with getting my iPhone 3gs to sync with my new Gateway NV79. Gateway will not help. Their technical support is genuinely worthless. Microsoft blames Apple and Apple blames Gateway.
    My old iPod Nano syncs to my Gateway NV79 without a problem. I’ve tried all of the proposed fixes but other posters with no success.
    But I do believe I’ve discovered a real fix (for me at least). Here’s my setup:
    • Gateway NV79 running Windows 7 64 bit edition
    • iTunes 10
    • iPhone 3gs running OS 4.02
    The USB ports needs tweaking to get the iPhone 3gs to sync to the Gateway NV79. Follow these steps without your iPhone 3gs connected to the Gateway NV79:
    Step 1: Go to Control Panel
    1. Open Control Panel
    2. Click Hardware & Sound
    3. Click Power Options
    4. Make sure Balanced is selected and click Change Plan Settings
    5. Click Change advanced power settings
    6. Expand USB Settings
    7. Expand USB selective suspend setting
    8. Change On Battery setting to Disabled.
    9. Change Plugged in setting to Disabled
    10. Click OK
    Step 2: Go to Windows Explorer
    1. Open Windows Explorer
    2. Right-Click Computer (not your computer name)
    3. Click Properties
    4. Click Device Manager
    5. Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    6. Right-click first Generic USB Hub
    7. Click Properties
    8. Click Power Management
    9. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    10. Click OK
    11. Right-click second Generic USB Hub
    12. Click Properties
    13. Click Power Management
    14. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    15. Click OK
    16. Restart your computer
    After your computer restarts, login and connect your iPhone.
    You must complete both steps. Step 1 is required for Step 2 to stick.
    There are a few things that may happen. iTunes may start syncing immediately and fail with an error. Don’t worry. If the sync fails the first time, restart the computer with the iPhone still connected. Now, iTunes will either take you to setup screen to connect your iPhone or the sync may restart. In my case, the setup screen came up and I DID NOT CHOOSE TO RESTORE. Pick the first option to add your iPhone. The sync will restart and may or may not finish. Don’t worry, if the sync fails, restart your computer again with the iPhone still connected and this time the sync will work.
    Here’s the problem: the iPhone 3gs will not sync with the power management enabled for the USB ports on the Gateway NV79.
    Good luck.

    If you cannot update your computer, you will not be able to sync your phone. The requirements are:
    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access

  • My iPhone 5c ... The sound is goofy.  I have the classic Bell sound for my text messages but the phone no longer dings. Can anyone help me?

    Some of my sounds do not work. I have the classic bell sound for my text messages but when someone sends me a text message it doesn't make a noise anymore. Does anyone have any ideas on what's wrong?  It seems that it stopped working ever since I upgraded to the latest iOS system

  • My iPhone 4S will not play music out loud. I can't turn sound up or down, it doesn't even give me the option.  I think that it thinks its docked, I've tried to blow air in it, I've tried compressed air with no luck.

    Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if fixed. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean again, very well with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.
