Is there a way to set up a dial tone or a way for someone who is hard of hearing to have the phone set up to make a noise when I hold it up to my ear?

Is there a way to set up an dial tone or set the phone up to make a noise when I hold it up to my ear when i use it

I'm also not sure what you want to accomplish by this. Until you hit the "call" button, the phone is not 'off hook' like a traditional landline would be. There is no such thing as a dial tone on any cell phone. The dial tone was simply a carrier signal from the central office that prepared that end to listen for the pulses (later tones) generated when you dialed.

  • When do I know if my iphone will switch to wifi and not that it costs some money to my phone network operator? is there a spec setting I must do. Or is it enough to have the phone set to wifi and phone connects directly when it makes contact with a wifi n

    When do I know if my iphone will switch to wifi and not that it costs somemoney to my phone network operator? is there a spec setting I must do.
    Or is it enough to have the phone set to wifi and phone connects directlywhen it makes contact with a wifi network?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.

  • TS1600 I received a 2008 Imac with erased hard drive.  I have the two discs to install OS X but when it tries to boot just  comes up Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. Is there anything I can do to get this running

    I rceived a 2008 Imac with erased hard drive.  They gave me the two install discs but it keeps coming up cannot install OS X on this computer.
    Is there anything to do. Thanks hopefully

    Well, Apple would probably point out that what you are trying to do violates the EULA.
    Technically speaking, however, the issue is that the install/restore DVDs that ship with Macs do not carry all the drivers, or even all of the various versions of libraries that support all of the various models of Macs. The come-with-your-Mac disks are different than the retail versions of the OS (also, the come-with-your-Mac ones bundle iLife, which the retail ones don't).
    Because the come-with-your-Mac disk contains only the drivers specific to that generation and model line of Mac, it contains a stub of code that verifies that your hardware matches the driver set on the install/restore DVD.
    Your friend has a different model of Mac, with different hardware, so her install/restore disk won't work in yours. Solution: go get the retail boxed version of Leopard.

  • When I open firefox it is returning to the last viewed page instead of my homepage even though I have the settings set to clear history every time I close Firefox. I check and all of the previous history is still there and not deleted..

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.

  • How do I get the 4s to stop beeping texts in my ear when I am on the phone, while still notifying me of texts when I am off the phone

    I have alert/notification sounds set up to beep when I receive a text message. 
    Sometimes I will be talking on the phone...with the phone to my ear, and I will get a text message(s) from someone at the same time, and even though I have the phone to my ear, it still beeps out loud.  As far as I can tell, it is at the same volume as when I don't have it next to my ear.
    It hurts my ear, and also the person I am talking to can hear the beeping.  I can't hear what the person on the phone is saying to me while it is beeping. 
    I also have the sound set up to beep a second time if I don't read the text.  When I have the phone to my ear and I am trying to talk, it beeps in my ear for the first alert...and then it beeps in my ear for the second reminder alert that reminds me that I still haven't read the text.  Again, I can't hear the person I am talking to while all the beeping is happening.
    Is there a way to set the phone so that it will still beep when I get a text message (when the phone is not to my ear), but it will only vibrate or play a very low sound or something if I have the phone to my ear?  Kind of like caller ID on a landline will play a "no sound/pause" when a call is coming in while you are on the phone.
    Thanks!

    As the iPhone remembers the original appleID, prior to you changing it, to change the appleID that your iPhone remembers go to settings>itunes and app store>appleID>sign out, then sign back in with the correct, updated details

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • My ipad is no longer showing all my videos, even though i have the option set to show all, even those that are in my cloud. I can't do anything to get all my videos to re-appear. any help?

    My ipad is no longer showing all my vidoes, even though i have the option set to show all, even those that are in my cloud. Any suggestions??

    Close the videos app and launch it again.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    if they still don't show up after you launch the app again, try resetting the iPad.
    Reset 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.

  • How to u set your alarm clock but not have the phone or txt go off

    Hi, My old phone Blackberry had an alarm. I would set it and then shut the phone off. The phone would turn itself on when the alarm had to go off.
    IPone 4 will not do that. So, how do I set the alarm and not have the phone ring or get text alerts. I cannot figure out how to do this.
    How do you delete pictures that are not on the camera roll there is a garbage can for those but not for other picture. I have double from synching too many times, this is my first Apple and I am not finding it easy to use.
    Thank you

  • Is there anyway i can find who stole my ipod touch i have the serial number but i did not have the find my iphone app

    is there anyway i can track my ipod touch with just the serial number because someone stole it but i did not have the find  my iphone app

    You can only track it if you turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My before it was lost/stolen, and then registered it in iCloud's Find My Phone service.  You must then log in to iCloud, click Find My Phone and see if it shows up.  If it is turned off, not connected to the internet or been reset to factory condiditon it will not show up.  There is no way to track it except in that way.
    Report it to the police, insurance and cell provider in case the will blacklist the iPhone so it cannot be used.

    Shame you had the iPhone hacked as  O2 usually unlock their customers iPhones happily.

  • Guys ... I have a 2008 MacPro running the current Yosemite.  I also have installed the sound amp called "BOOM!"  I have the Sound set to Line Out which should have the computer boot up to BOOM! Instead, it boots up to the Internal speaker. What's up?

    Hi Folks ...
    I have a 2008 MacPro running the current Yosemite. I have installed the recommended upgraded video card, but the sound is as it was new. I also have installed the sound amp/graphic equalizer called "BOOM!"  I have the Sound set to Line Out which should have the computer boot up automatically to BOOM!  and thus to the external speakers.  Instead, it boots up to the Internal speaker.  According to the folks at "BOOM!", this is happening to others who have similar Macs.  They can't find any explanation within BOOM!, so I am turning to you all.  Any ideas?

    Hi Kappy ...
    Sorry, I guess I didn't state the problem very well.
    I don't want the computer to boot up to the internal speaker.  I want it to boot up to the external speakers.  However, even though System Preferences is set on Line Out, when the computer boots up or reboots, it erroneously goes to internal speaker.  So, every time I boot up, I have been going to System Preference/Sound and clicking on Line Out.  From that point on, everything is OK until the next boot up.  It is a small annoyance, but annoying all the less. The simple explanation seems to be that when the computer is shut down, it does not hold the setting for Line Out and resets itself to Internal Speaker.  How do I change that behavior and get it to go to Line Out whenever it boots up?
