IPhone notification volume will not change

Every iPhone I have on iOS 7.1.1 has this same problem. I change the ringer volumes to the second to lowest, and the notifications and keyboard clicks still sound Luke they're on full volume. One of them has a broken vibrate motor so I can't just leave it on silent like I can with the others. What is the problem? It's extremely frustrating to have to miss notifications due to the permanent silence.

Try to set the tone at Messaging > Menu button > Settings > Notification tone.

Mail notification (sound) will not change

I cannot seem to get the mail sound to change (on my iPhone5) from the sound I had on my 4s (backed up and reloaded through iCloud).
I have changed the sound in "settings" and regardless of that sound is chosen, the "News Flash" WILL.NOT.GO.AWAY
I even changed it to "None" and the "News Flash" sound still chimes.
Anyone have this issue?

Ok so the first things that you would need to determine are as follows: This is the best way to get this to test and see if it works for you.   First things first, set aside all the notes on configurations that you would need for 2 Accounts to configure with email. Prior to doing this, do the reset as listed above in the directions of this post's reply. Once you have it reset, then do the following steps:
1.   First , set the mail notification Sound by going to Settings > Sounds > Mail , and change this here to something other than default.
2. Add your first email account first to the phone using the Mail Accounts and do New. Once you have added the new account, just this first one, send a mail message to it from a PC/MAC and test to see if the sound is working other than the default meaning the sound you changed it to.
3. Once you have conifrmed that it's working this way, next you will need to do, is add the 2nd account to the phone, and test that you can get mail on it.
4. Now that you have both accoutns, you can go into Settings>Notifications>Mail>and you will see both accounts listed there .   For me it's : Exchange, LiveMail, Icloud in that order.   All of these are clickable with touch.
5 Touch one of them it will open the menu to allow you to change notifications including sounds.
CHANGE all 3 accounts sounds using step 4 listed and then after you have done this for each of them accounts, test by sending emails to them.
Let me know if you need help.
Thanks.

Although I set the on/off switch to ON with "change with buttons," the alerts will not change individually. Any suggestions?

I'm having issues with the alerts volume control.
Although I set the on/off switch in settings to ON with "change with buttons", the alerts volume will not change individually. Any suggestions?

I don't mean to be rude or anything but did you check to see if it's on hold? I had the same problem, I nearly worked myself to tears trying to figure out why it wouldn't turn off! hope you fix you're problem.
P.S.-Maybe you should just let the batery run out till it goes dead, hey, then it will be off right?

Volume will not chnge

the volume bar will not turn off, it is always on top and volume will not change from 100. if i try to lower volume it will only go back to 100 either on pc side button or at control panel. This is a brand new pc. Thank you for any help or should I return it.

I assume that you mean the volume will not turn down. Try this and see of you can adjust the volume afterwards.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? Help!

I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? I try to add songs from my music into my phone section and it will not go... Plus the playlists on my phone are not updated on my iTunes phone on my computer. Its like it never updated. What am I doing wrong??

Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.
When you sync to another it will delete the current content.
Make sure you have copied everything from your old computer to your new one first.

The display on my iPhone only works vertically. It will not change when I rotate my phone.

Swipe up on the bottom of the screen to expose control center and see if the orientation lock is on (top row of controls, far right; looks like a lock with a circular arrow).
Not all apps support orientation changes, BTW.

Hello bigboza,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
Have a nice day,

HT201263 iphone went dark, will not turn back on. it died at end of a call. plenty of battery power. holding the power and memory key for any amount of time does not solve anything?

iphone went dark. will not turn on. died at end of a call. tried the power/home holding option.. no good. had plenty of power. when plugged into computer
nothing changes... its not acknowledged by computer, iphone doesnt charge.. etc... appears completely dead

If a reset didn't work & you're sure the battery is charged, make an appointment at an Apple store.

Hello dthlah,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your Wi-Fi option on an iPhone 4S is greyed out. The following article explains this issue and potential resolution:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
1. Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
2. Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings
3. Ensure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
4. If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTunes.
If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options.
Thanks,
Matt M.

IPhone 6 Camera App Not Changing Orientation?

Been loving the iPhone 6's new, sharper Camera, but there's been an issue with the Camera app not following orientation changes to the phone. I've set the Compass calibration, and everything seems fine on that front, but the Camera app will not change from portrait to landscape when flipped in either still or video mode. Have there been any similar issues reported?

Thank you for your reply markwmsn, I am new to this support site, and from what I read on the "Apple Support Communities Use Agreement" it says: "Apple may respond to questions".
Anyway, back to the topic, I found another post related to this one that may help, since another user said it seemed to fix the issue for him. Here's the link:

My nephew's iPad volume will not work? Any clue why?

My nephew was messing with the "find my ipad" service, ended up erasing everything. i backed it up and now the volume will not work, not with the side button or even give it as an option on the music. I've checked the volume setting, the speaker work fine. I checked if he muted it some how but i can't figure out why sound won't play.

You backup but do you backup with iTunes? If you do and you have an older backup... One that existed before you erased the device.... You can try restoring from that backup. Restoring from a backup restores the previous app preferences and settings to the iPad. If you decide to try this, turn off auto sync first so that you don't inadvertently overwrite the backup.
Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices, check the box at the bottom that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. You can also check in that window to see if you have any backups that predate the problem - the wiping of the iPad. if you do have a backup - Click OK. Quit iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer with the cable and launch iTunes, right click on the iPad name under devices and select Restore From Backup. Select that backup from the menu (in case you have additional or multiple backups) and restore from it. Sync with iTunes after you restore from the backup.

The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! Why is my interests being put last and Sprint, Verizon

The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! I travel all over the world, and so that is why I need one like that. It is unfair to the consumer, and frankly turning away customers like myself willing to pay high dollar to Apple for their product, who can I speak with to complain about this, because I know their are factory unlocked iPhone 4S' sitting in a warehouse somewhere just waiting to be shipped, and I want one. I know why, cause Apple signed contracts with each carrier so the carrier could increase their sales making customers sign 2 year contracts, I get it, I own my own business, but the delay of releasing factory unlocked ones is just not right and I should be able to buy one without having to buy it over in the UK where it is unlocked when it comes out right away, I should be able to buy it in my own country! These business practices we practice in the US need to stop, their is a demand that needs to be met with consumers like myself who don't need subsidized iPhone's with 2 year contracts with carriers and don't mine paying full price for an unlocked one, it is unethical in a sense, forcing the customer to buy it with a carrier contract and NOT giving the customer the option to buy it full price and own it themselves, OR, making the consumer wait a month for that option to be available. THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!! THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!!!
Apple can contact me and I will proudly pay for one. But making me wait a month for an unlocked one, puts AT&T, Sprint & Verizon's interests before mine, and that is not right, for it is MY money that keeps you guys in business, so my best interests should come first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand your frustration, but when any form of rationing is required you have to prioritise. The number of unlocked vs packaged phones will be quite small and the number of unlocked buyers wishing to upgrade immediately will be smaller still. Against this you have the corporations sharing $billions between them.
It would, you're correct, have been fairer to release all at the same time, but fairer doesn't come into it: it's business.
