IPhone doesn't alert us enough!!!!!

I hate that when I have a missed call, new voicemail or new text it only beeps once. With every other phone I've ever owned it would beep until I acknowledged it. With this phone it beeps once for these alerts. Obviously if I'm not there to answer it the first time then I won't hear the initial missed call/new voicemail/new text beep.
SOOOOOOOO Annoying!
Anyone have a fix?

Sorry, couldn't resist!

  • IPhone Doesn't Play Podcast Videos

    My iPhone doesn't play podcast videos - it shows a static picture then plays the corresponding audio, is this a configuration issue in iTunes or iPhone - or is this a disappointing defect? Thanks ...

    Not so much a bug, but a difference in behavior from the iPods.
    In the iPod, you can make a playlist under Music->Playlist and it can contain both audio and video files. It will play the audio files fine, then the audio-only of the video files in the list. Having videos in a music playlist seems like a bug, but this "feature" allows you to just hear audio of video files if you desire (like listening to a movie without running the video screen).
    If you go in to Video->Playlists instead, you play audio, then switch to video when it hits a video item in the list.
    On the iPhone, the concept of Video Playlist is unavailable, only a playlist via TV Shows. So, I can't do it like I've been doing it for the past year or so on my iPod with Video.
    I'm working on workarounds right now. I tried toggling all the vidcasts to "TV Show" video type, so they can be added to a TV Show playlist, and that sorta-works but isn't graceful (if I can make it work, I'll provide an iTunes script to do this for us).
    I also found out by downloading the podcasts (check them off specifically) they can be made to show up in the video section, but just having them in an Audio Playlist isn't enough.
    More research...

  • TS4083 Is there a way or a setting my folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC, my folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manua

    Is there a way (or a setting) for my individual folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? For example, if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC - say 10th of the following month - the same folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manually.  Interestingly though, if I create a new folder on any of my devices they automatically appear on the other devices so it is just the actual contents that I am referring to here.  Appreciate any help or guidance.
    Regards
    Justin

    You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
    As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

    I'm having the same issue, i restored my phone to Factory settings, even tried restoring it to my backup, half of my music bought from itunes won't play on my iphone and i'm super annoyed, this only happened once i updated to ios 7.2 so i assume its another glitch to go with my imessages not sending, getting sick of this.

  • My iPhone doesn't show up as a Device in iTunes via wi-fi.

    How come I can't sync by wi-fi? My iPhone doesn't show up as a Device in iTunes unless it's connected by USB cable. "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi" is checked in iTunes. (I can sync ONLY by USB cable--ironic because I won't upgrade to Mavericks until it allows USB local syncing.) What am I missing?

    iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1

    Is your iPhone plugged in to a charger?  I believe that is a requirement for WiFi sync.

    I sync my iPhone and iPad to my Mac running Mavericks using USB local syncing all the time.
    Maybe you're referring to the fact that iCloud is the sync mechanism for Contacts and Calendars now.  If not, I don't understand your comment.

    Whenever i plug my phone into my Marine Receiver it only says 'reading' for a really long time and does not load or allow me to play songs.
