My 4s does not ring, alert, play music randomly shuts off and on and when i shut it off it turns on by itself...can anyone suggest anything?

Hi, I have a the 4s i have had it for a couple months...never any problems. When i went to use it the other morning...before the update I noticed I had some missed calls and text messages - the phone had not rang or alerted me. I checked the volume in settings and also that the switch on the side was on for sound. But when I touched it the vibrate on/off screen kept flashing on my phone. I can only hear the phone ring through my aux wire and headphones. It does not ring from the bottom...nor does it play music or any video noise. It does play my alarms. I tried to shut it off before and after i restored it and it would restart on its own...and then I would have to enter my WIFI password again. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears. If that does not help, take it to an Apple store genius bar for the techs to check.

Did you try to reset your iPhone? Hold down Power and Home buttons together until Apple logo appears.

HT1339 I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and need to restore to factory settings as want to sell it; however it will not reset and when plugged into my MAC it says firmware corrupt? CAn anyone shed light on what i can do to overcome this issue?

I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and am unable to restore it back to factory settings even when it is connected to my MAC. I have tried the menu/select hold but is not doing anything. When connected to the MAC and select restore in itunes it comes up with 'Firmware Corrupt'. It also states the IPOD is up to date. I have the latest operating system on my MAC and wonder if this may be part of the issue?
Can anyone shed light as to what i can do to reset it back to factory settings as would like to sell it and ensure it is ready for the new owner.
Thanks

Can't logon to Match on iphone 4s. asks for ID and P/w. ID it displays isn't complete, therefore password is incorrect. Also says I'm not subscribed to Match, which I have been for 2 days. Can anyone suggest anything. Thanks. jwbsr

Purchased 'match' 2 days ago and since then I have been unable to turn on i-tunes match in settings on my iphone 4s.
When I tap the switch to turn on match, I'm prompted for ID and P/w. The ID on the prompt isn't complete, therefore when I enter the password, it isn't accepted. Also, sometimes the response comes back that I'm not subscribed to Match and go to my computer to subscribe. I'm completely lost at this point.
Been playing with for almost 3 days. Can anyone suggest what I could do? Thank you jwbsr...

You must sign into the mobile iTunes Store with the same iTunes Store account ID you used to purchase iTunes Match. So... when you are prompted, if the information already in the text field isn't correct change it so it is.

Phone does not ring, alert, etc, when locked.

I have missed every call and text message thus far since owning this phone because when the phone is not in use (locked), it does absolutely nothing. For example, I was talking to my dad on the phone (I initiated the call). I told him to call me RIGHT BACK and then proceeded to lock the phone. I sat 3 inches from the phone and stared at it. After about five minutes I unlocked the phone and I had a missed call. *** is with this phone?

My phone also had this problem at&t and apple could not figure it out finally they just told me to take it in to apple and get it replaced they had no problem doing so. I would just try that good luck.

Url does not show up in address bar...and when i type in a search box, the cursor jumps up to the address bar automatically

I'm not sure what happened. However, I can never see the URL in the address bar anymore.
I go from page to page, and the URL shows only for a split second, then disappers.
All the address bar says is "Search or enter address"
I copy and paste a lot of URL links for work, so this makes it very painful and a hassle now.
Where now i need to go back, right click on a link, and do "copy link location".
Where as i used to just go up to the address bar and copy the URL.
Also, I notice now when I start typing on certain search boxes.
The cursor automatically jumps to the URL address bar as soon as I start typing. Which is really annoying.
It will only do it once it seems....but its annoying when i try to type a search...only to see that i've been typing in the URL address box cus it jumped up there.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Try some basic troubleshooting.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

What security does my iPad 2 have? Bit concerned as some of my accounts have been hacked in to. If it has none can anyone suggest any thing

What security does my IPad 2 have if any. Some of my accounts have been hacked. Can anyone suggest anything. Thanks

Not silly questions at all!
"Safe" is a tricky term. Nobody can ever tell you that accessing websites is 100% safe. Even if you are going through an encrypted site, if you're in a public place, someone could be watching over your shoulder to see you type your login and password.
As you say, the iPad itself is relatively (compared to PCs) secure in the sense that there is no chance of viruses or malware stealing your logins.
But you can take sensible steps to be careful.
If you think you have reason to be concerned about the security of any of the sites you've mentioned, I would recommend you change your passwords. Start with email - if someone else has access to your email, they will often be able to detect and reset any changes you make to other accounts. Then change the other accounts.
Do not use the same password for all your accounts.
Gmail has the ability to use SSL - check in your iPad's Mail settings whether "Use SSL" is ON.
The Barclays app should certainly transmit information in an encrypted manner, so again, provided you have a good password and are cautious about logging in in public view, you're covering your bases.
Finally, let me give you one perspective on computer security that has a lot of truth to it:

my phone does not ring even though the ringer is on. music plays and other sounds can be heard but it does not ring. Why?

Hi there gizmotoall,
You may want to verify your settings using the information in the article below. Also, double check that the side switch isn't set to silent mode.

I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play. Any suggestions?

Why would you create a new account?
All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

I cannot find the eMac install disk, and I haven't been able to get it to start up from my 10.3 CDRm (holding down option or c), though I read something somewhere about these not being able to start up from system folders earlier than those they shipped with. I've dealt with this sort of thing several times before, and it always seemed to work to simply use target disk mode.
It definitely won't start up fromt the 10.5 DVD-R, and I'm pretty sure I tried putting the MBP into TM to use its optical drive as well, but it didn't work. But it's worth trying again, and I appreciate your input greatly.

Try a different ringtone.
Reset or restart the device.

My iphone 4 does not ring - the mute button is off - can hear calls coming in but not on the speaker - no music or ringtones

My iphone 4 does not ring - the mute button is off - can hear calls coming in only by vibrate - cannot talk using speaker - no music not ringtones - It is not the mute button!

Sorry this took so long... This sounds hokey, but there is a sensor inside the headset jack on the iPhone that is sticking.
First; unplug the headset and try. Then, if does not ring still - do a reset with the headset out. Reset = hold the Home button and the sleep bottom on top at the same time until you see the Apple (ignore the slide to power off).
If this does not wor - here comes the hokey part... and you can take it by an Apple store at this point; anyway, use a tooth pick (wooden) and twigged it around in the jack on the gentle side.
Only try that last "hokey" part because it could be hardware in there sticking.
After that - have you called Apple Care?... It is a repair issue.
Good luck

My iPhone does not ring after 8.2 upgrade and sound gone on iPad

the sound as gone on my iPad and the iPhone does not ring when i get a call all after the 8.2 upgrade

Hi pr1uk,
It appears your devices are experiencing audio issues. The following article provides steps which may help you find a solution:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
Restart your device.
Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Bobby_D

kaeandcolesmon,
If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
See:
Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.
