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

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    It's new and under warranty. That's the reason to go to the Apple Store.
    Did something happen to it?

  • Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • After editing i can hear effects over tracks but not the tracks themselves?

    after editing and saving as a garage band file i can hear the first two tracks in their entirety, but not the other 8 (except for the reverb over them). if i kill the reverb over these tracks then only silence remains. input, output and monitoring options are identical for all ten tracks. all my edits are still there, including automated volume and pan. please help

    Hello, I am having the same problem. With some exceptions (and this is what's throwing me off) I can hear reverb and echo on tracks but not tracks themselves. I have tried adding echo/reverb to some of the muted tracks and I can hear these effects fine. Yet I have 2 tracks without any effects at all and I can hear those ones fine (there are 12 tracks in all). Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my senior project and I am due to present on Thursday, June 5.

  • HT4085 My volume control indicates headphones not speaker.  No sound from iPad. Have checked the mute button is off and button is set to operate lock rotation.  Any suggestions?

    The iPad sound is not working and the volume control shows headphones rather than speaker.  Mute is off and I cannot see any reference to headphone/speaker settings or switch.  Any suggestions ?

    Most likely something is stuck in the headphone jack. Try to vacuum it out or CAREFULLY use a straightened paperclip to remove any dust or lint. You can also try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • I bought OS X Mountain Lion a few days ago from the App Store but it will not download. In the purchased section of the App Store it says 'an error has occurred' in red letters next to the download button. I have been charged for it but not downloaded it?

    If i click on the download button in the purhased section nothing happens. if i go into the App store and click download on Mountain Lion there it looks like it is starting to download and opens Lauchpad but it never moves off 'waiting'.
    Any help would be great.
    Thank you !

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Press Shift key on boot, delete Mountain Lion installer from Applications, open App Store > Purchases and download OS X. If it doesn't help > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact

  • Phone is not getting signal to make calls, sometime it works but not for the most part.  I can hear callers at times but they can not hear me.

    Hello.
    Looking for help on how to get a better signal when receiving and placing calls.  Phone got a little wet and is having hard time placing calls and receiving call.  Calls are breaking up most of the time but some times I have 4 bars and phone calls goes through just fine. Noticed phone is having troubling connecting to towers.  Get a call but caller can not hear me when I have only one bar showing on phone.  Phone does hit 4 bars sometime and phone call is clear.  Any suggestion., new phone still learning how to use.   Should I try to reset to factory settings???  Have read lot of negative comments on the web about doing this.  Trying all options before going to the Apple store.
    Thanks for any help or advice.

    I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple.  I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it.  Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours),  I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
    I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway).  Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent.  I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
    Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something.  Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month.

  • I can hear sound on headphones, but not on laptop speakers (stereo)

  • Can place calls and texts but not receive them.

    I can call others and send text messages but, when someone sends me a text I don't receive it and when they call it goes straigt to my voicemail. I went to the reception page where it shows the signal strength number at the top and it showed it was a good signal.

    Have you spoken to your carrier ? It sounds like the phone isn't set up correctly.

  • Can we call a static method without mentioning the class name

    public class Stuff {
         public static final int MY_CONSTANT = 5;
         public static int doStuff(int x){ return (x++)*x;}
    import xcom.Stuff.*;
    import java.lang.System.out;
    class User {
       public static void main(String[] args){
       new User().go();
       void go(){out.println(doStuff(MY_CONSTANT));}
    }Will the above code compile?
    can be call a static method without mentioning the class name?

    Yes, why do it simply?

  • Why does the "mute" button not "mute" the new iPad?

    Hi,
    the problem drives us crazy.
    We bought the new iPad on launch Day and every other App (like Hotel Dash) does play Sounds even though the iPad is muted. Really anoying are "between Level" Ads or "pause Ads" (like in Wedding Dash, Lost Luxuries) which started playing while my wife was in the Subway.
    The mute Button should turn the iPad to mute without exceptions. How can we fix it? Or do we have to return the new iPad?
    Regards
    Tim

    Thanks for your Reply. The Problem is, we are not listing to Music or watching an Movie - we are using an App, which plays Advertisement.
    Game Sounds do not play at all, but the Advertisement is playing at full Volume. This should not happen.
    Ok it is "not a bug it's a feature" or just abuse by App Developers, which i have no controll over? I have to use the volume rocker all the time? Why put a "mute" button on an iPad?
    As you were told, the mute button mutes system sounds.  Other sounds are muted via the rocker.  That's the way it is.

    Hi nitramred,
    To start troubleshooting this issue where you are unable to adjust the volume after receiving a call, please go ahead and first force close all of the apps currently running on the device, and then reset it by following the steps in the articles below.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    Take care,
