My Iphone stopped ringing after my last sync

So I synced to iTunes and I bought two ringtones. I synced them to the phone. After that, my phone only vibrates, but NONE of the rings "ring", although the settings are correct the volume is at max.
I went to the genius bar at my local Apple store. They told me to restore in iTunes my phone to its original factory condition. I clicked on restore and all my photos and songs disappeared. So I test the phone. Nothing. Not ringing. People call me and I don't hear, obviously. Very frustrating. This is the 3rd. day and it's driving me crazy.
So I put all my data back into the iPhone. Still won't ring. Some bug when I synced it? Hardware fault? I did not want to go through the trouble of replacing it but tomorrow I am going to the Apple store again. I hope they do something about it, because a 500 dollar phone that does not ring after 3 months is real bad.
I have not heard anyone having this problem on any iPhone message board.
Any other ideas?

Another thing to try is turning the iPhone OFF - completely OFF - not just putting it to sleep - but actually turning it OFF. I say this because some people don't know that the iPhone has SLEEP mode (which it is in most of the time) but then can also be TURNED COMPLETELY OFF.
It's a computer. Turn it off and back on every once in awhile (especially) if you have trouble. Treat it the same way you would restart your desktop/laptop computer.
That is all

  • I have a Iphone 4 and after the last software update iOS.0.4, my phone is no longer connecting to the wifi at my house.

    I have a Iphone 4 and after the last software update iOS.0.4, my phone is no longer connecting to the wifi at my house.
    My MacBook Air is connected and my roommates phones are also connected, but my iphone that always was connected to the same network is no longer connecting to the wifi.
    The network is shown on the device but I can't join it.
    Whats going on? Does someone know how to solve this issue?
    Thank you!

    Problem persisted after fixes were done so wife called apple today.           Their fix is to turn cellular off when in the house and turn it back on when she leaves- the 4 doesn't keep the password so she has to enter the password too... This wasn't a fix ...it's just resolving the connection problem... They also said that they made ios6 have security features so nobody can hack into the wifi without having the password and it has to be entered to use the wifi.  My 5 and the iPads stay on with no problems.  It's just the 4.        So far so good...she's had wifi all day when home.    It's inconvenient but it's either completely reboot it with iTunes (which doesn't work for her) or buy a new phone and she won't do that either.
    So...Apple is saying that she didn't have to do the updates either and could've stayed with the previous iOS     but !!!too late now!!!  We've updated because we think our phones will run better but the ios6 just made it a pita for users
    I wonder if the hackers of the world are having as many issues as the peeps who are just trying to use their wifi??

  • Why did AME stop working after the last Windows 7 update

    AME suddenly stopped working after the last Windows 7 update. After the initial splash screen, I get a message saying that AME is not working and the program will be closed. Then I get the windows message that it is searching for a solution, then nothing. I am using the Production CS6. This happens whether I try to start AME directly, or queuing through Premiere Pro. I have tried reinstalling the entire package and have implemented all available updates from Adobe. I have no clue why this happened, but AME is crucial to my workflow.

    Try to delete the following folders and then launch AME:
    %AppData%\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder
    %AppData%\Adobe\Common
    Make sure to first make a backup of those folders.

  • How do I get FaceTime for Mac to stop ringing after answering an incoming call on my iPhone?

    I have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled for iPhone and FaceTime and am able to make and receive calls splendidly with FaceTime. However, when I answer an incoming call on my iPhone, FaceTime will not stop ringing. This is a significant, loud, annoying issue for me, my caller, and everyone in my house. It rings for eternity, long after the call has ended, until the call notification on my Mac is either accepted or declined. FaceTime needs to know when the call is answered on another device and stop ringing. Is there any solution for this?

    This works for me:
    To turn off Phone Calling on your iPad or iPod Touch, go to FaceTime under Settings and switch off iPhone Cellular Calls. On your Mac, open the FaceTime app, then go to Preferences under FaceTime, and tap Settings. From there, switch off the iPhone Cellular Calls option.
    Found it here:http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/131449-why-s-my-mac-taking-my-iphone-calls-how-t o-turn-off-apple-continuity
    I realise it doesn't quite solve the issue of FaceTime "knowing" whether the call has already been answered on another device, which I agree is a flaw. But in my case, I don't want to receive regular phone calls on my Mac at any time. Only the very rare FaceTime call. So turning off cellular calls is a solution of sorts.

  • Find my iphone, stop ringing?

    Hi, could anybody tell me please how to stop the ringing on my iphone? I tried the 'finding my iphone' from my ipad. It worked well, found my phone, then the phone started ringing and i could not stop the ringing from my ipad. I had to switch off the phone.

    It's her phone, and no, her boyfriend cannot track it unless he knows her Apple ID & password.

  • IPhone 3GS rings after 5 seconds

    This is very weird and it happens to my iPhone 3GS and my sister's 3GS. So when someone calls the iPhone, it doesn't ring immediately. It actually takes at least 5, sometimes more seconds to ring. This is a lot of time and I miss important calls. Both phones are FACTORY unlocked and work on T-Mobile but it's the same on AT&T so it's not provider's issue since other phones don't have this problem. I saw a lot of people have had similar problem. Does any one know if I can fix this? It's definitely not a defective phone it's just the way it is with the iphone and I don't have any idea why it takes 5-10 seconds before it starts ringing

    Let me explain this again. It doesn't go to voicemail quickly. Imagine phone 1 and phone 2. I make a call from a phone 1, wait 5-6-7 seconds and phone 2 (the iPhone) starts ringing
    Let me see again if I understand what you are saying. When do you start counting these seconds? Is it from the first time you hear a ring in your ear on the phone you are calling from? I've had a number of phones, and I know that calls need setup time, generally a little more than landline phones. I know in a later post you mention a Nokia only taking < 1 second. You also say it is not going to voicemail too quickly. I guess my real delemia here is, how are you missing calls if they are not going to voicemail. Do they just quit ringing because the person on the other end is hanging up? How long are they waiting, or in your case, how long did it ring before it went to voicemail before you hung up on your test call, I guess the question is how many rings. I'm not understanding why this delay in the beginning of ringing is troubling you if the calls is not being rerouted to voicemail, therefore impacting your ability to answer it.
    The standard troubleshooing steps are power off/on the phone, if that doesn't help, then a reset, holding the power and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo, then releasing, ignoring the slide to power off screen. The next step is a restore, first from a backup, the next as a new phone or not from backup. The next step is outside of user troubleshooting and that is to send or take it to Apple, however since you purchased these units in England, that is where you would have to go for service, since the iPhones are serviced in the country they were sold in.
    Hope one of these help.

  • HT4528 After my last sync my iTunes no longer plays any music not purchased in iTunes. Any suggestions?

    I did the latest update and synched my iPhone 5C, after the sync all music that was not purchased through iTunes will not play on my phone. I figured out how to "homeshare" those songs but they aren't really on my phone so once wifi is off I no longer have them. Any suggestions? Most of these song were off of cds. I don't want to purchase them all again through iTunes what a waste of money. I'm feeling super annoyed.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi there dryval76!
    There are a couple of reasons for seeing an issue such as that. I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot and find out the source of the issue. The first is an article about troubleshooting issues with playing songs in iTunes, and it can be found here:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: If you have trouble playing music or other audio
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12135
    If the issue is happening in all areas of your computer, not just iTunes, then you will want to reference this article:

  • My iPhone is now saying it is synced with another library - despite me not changing my iPhone or iTunes since I last synced - related to downtime (2 June?)

    I synced my iPhone a couple of days ago no problems, and I always 'manually manage' my stuff between iTunes and my iPhone 4.
    Just now I plug in to drop a new album onto my phone, and the 'manually manage music and videos' box is unchecked (nobody else uses my machine, no other devices plugged into it) and when I check it, it tells me my iPhone is synced with another library.
    The only thing I have changed that I can think of is my iTunes password - while working out what was causing the downtime yesterday (error 5002 with the store, etc.)
    Is it related?

    I'm sorry, I am having a smilar problem and my contacts have already been deleted because of it. I recently reloaded my OS as my computer was having problems. I'm using Vista. I had to reload itunes and when I attempted to sync my phone it said my iphone was synced with another itunes library. I'm not sure if I messed up and created two apple ID's. When I log into apple and attempted to see if I had any other accounts it did not show any, but when I try the other name I thought I had used first, it said that account had been locked for security reasons. I actually hit the "accept" button by mistake and it deleted everything so I unplugged it really quick and all I lost was my contacts. How on earth do I fix this? I can plug my iphone in and sign on, but if I attempt to change anything it gives that same message.
    Thank you

  • My iphone stopped ringing and goes straight to voicemail. how can i get it to ring again?

    The phone was working normally for almost 2 years, but the last few days it doesn't ring and nobody can reach me.  Help please?

    Of course, you have checked the little slider on the left side near the top that turns off the ringer? I have sometimes had it get bumped so that it wasn't all the way in the on position & so it didn't ring & I missed calls. It wasn't all the way down, so it looked like it was in the ring position, but not all the way. So try turning it to the vibrate position & then  back up to the ring position & see if that will fix it.
    But you might also take a look in Settings. Browse around & possibly a setting somehow got changed.
    A good general thing to do w computing devices (which this is) when they start acting strange or different than normal is to turn it off for a couple of minutes or so. Then turn it back on. That can clear out garbage that can get in the memory somehow. That will often fix things & should be done before any more drastic steps.
    & its probably a good idea to turn it off periodically just to clear out stuff that can get left behind.
    If the above doesn't work & you still haven't figured it out, if you are near an Apple store I would recommend setting up a Genius Bar appt. They should be able to figure it out.
    Unfortunately for me I used to have 2 Apple stores w in about a 10-15 min drive & then a couple more that were just a little further--maybe a half hour & w decent parking available. Now I've moved to Portland & was shocked to discover only 1 Apple Store downtown where you have to pay to park. So I haven't even activated my One to One membership yet.  Did take the Max down there which I guess was simpler than driving.

  • I have an Iphone 5s that on the last sync lost most of contact data except name, company and notes. All ok on my lap top in outlook. I cannot seam to correct this issue.

    I am worried if I do a complete reset I will lose all text data from the phone (which i believe is never backed up). Not that I know this would solve the problem.
    Is the icloud to blame? Any help appreciated. See photo - All tel, fax, email, web data gone.

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.
