My iphone will not receive/send calls or texts when my computer is on? Help?
Recently I've noticed my iphone is having reception problems while I'm in my apartment. I've noticed that when my computer is on, my iphone will not receive or send any texts or calls and has problems connecting to the internet. This is a pretty new development, I've had my phone for years with the same computer and no problems before. Any ideas?
Your computer and iPhone 4 are two seperate elements really using different connections.
i.e your computer will probably use your router to connect to the internet where as your iphone uses your mobile phone carrier to send and receive texts and calls.
So its pretty difficult to judge how they can effect each other. You try resetting your router, but ive never heard of anything like this happening before...

My iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when receiving a text message
for some reason since yesterday, my Iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when I receive a normal or Imessage text message.
I double checked that vibration works in general and it does. so does the sound file for the Text tone.
My ringer works fine as well as vibration for incoming calls but nothing works with a normal text message (even whatsapp works fine).
I have no idea what could be the issue here.
Any ideas?- Unmute your phone
- Set your Ringtone to default
- Adjust your volume
- If you're on iOS6 - DO NOT DISTURB feature turn it OFF
Try again -

Is the email account a Yahoo account?
I've seen this reported only or primarily in regards to a Yahoo account.
Try deleting and recreating the account. -
Iphone will not receive emails
I recently changed my password on both my yahoo account and itunes account. i have an ipad and an iphone. My ipad is receiving emails under my old password, and my iphone will not receive emails under the new or old password. when I try to enter password for email under setting on iphone, it gives me the message that the yahoo server is unavailable. again, my ipad has no problems receiving emails nor does my wife on her iphone.
I don't have any other email accounts on my phone and I don't get any type of error message. It just says "Checking for Mail" and I receive nothing, so I know that it is accessing my work email system. I haven't made any changes to my account. I only accepted the message to update my carrier system.....I do have an appointment with the local Verizon store to see if they can help.
Just FYI, my Exchange email account still works on my iPad, so I'm pretty sure the settings are correct. -

My new IPhone 6 will not receive a call from my wife's phone
I have a new IPhone 6. It will receive and ring all calls except from my wife's IPhone 5?
Her number is not blocked.
Any help?Can your wife make phone calls to others? If her number is not blocked on your device, there is no reason you should not receive a call from her, unless she cannot make calls to others. A block would be the only reason you should not receive a call. Check with your carrier to make sure there is no restriction on their end.

IPhone will not receive videos
My IPhone receives text maeeages without difficulty but will not receive videos. Any suggestions how I can remedy this problem?
Contact your phone carrier and see if your provisioned to receive MMS.
If you are check to see if MMS is turned on in settings. -
I just got the phone yesterday and they put a new sim in the phone. Immediately began to work and used it for most of the day with no problem. Then around 5 started not receiving texts back from people and also not receiving phone calls. Now the texts come in very late. Anywhere from 10-30 minutes after they have been sent and the phone calls are heading straight to my voicemail and not even ringing. I need help! Is this a hardware problem on the phone? Sim problem with ATT? HELP!!! Thank You!
You'll need to contact ATT about this. They handle the voice and text portion of the phone.

My iphone will not turn on at all even when i do a hard restart. how can i fix this?
My iphone will not turn on at all. i tried to hard reboot it and still nothing what can i do to fix this?
Take it to your local Apple Store and have the genius take a look. If it won't respond at all, it sounds like a hardware failure.

My phone will not ring for messages or texts. It also will not play music outloud. I know it's not the speakers because it does make noise when I type in my password and sometimes when I am in the settings for the ringtone. It will not make the message sounds in settings. With headphones it makes noise. I don't know what to do and I've tried all the settings. Has this happened to anyone else? The silence key on the side is off. I've tried restarting it, but it does not work. Sometimes it will make noise when I am typing, but only a few times. I haven't dropped it and I have an otterbox, so I don't know what would cause it to do this...?
Everyone you are way over thinking this as did i at first. My wife had the same issue. there is i switch right above the volume button as demonstrated on this link. its designed for lets say you into a class or meeting you can switch the phone to silent quck and easy.

Why does my iPhone 5s not receive incoming calls
My iPhone 5s does not ring when receiving incoming calls yet I have signal, do not disturb is off and I receive texts or voicemails notifying me of a missed call which I can return immediately. What is going on? How can I fix this?
Yes the ringtone works. I know you are trying to help however I am fairly tech savvy and have eliminated all basic user defined settings that could cause the issue. The issue is not that there is no sound the issue is that there is no call incoming notification at all. The call does not connect to my Boone to even make it ring and display as a missed call

IPhone will not end a call when pressing red end button
Here is my issue (iPhone 5s using ios 7.1): I make a call - say VoiceMail - and you want to terminate the call prior to the other party hanging up. In the past - prior to ios 7.1 - I just hit the red end call button without an issue but now ubder 7.1 nothing happens. The only way I can terminate a call in this fashion is by pressing the Sleep/Wake button.
I had a chat with Apple support and they asked that I reload version 7.1 which I did. The same issue has returned after a few usages. Any suggestions?Try to restart your iPhone by pressing home button and sleep/wake button...... it will work if you facing still this issue then you need to reset your iPhone by pressing same button for atleast 10 sec it will prompt you for reset and you can do it without any problem because you will not loose your data...

When I'm using phone in LTE vs 4G I do not receive messages or phone call/voice mail. Why is this happening and why have LTE if you can't use your phone in full capacity. Do I need to switch over from one to the other and what is LTE for?
Where did you get it? If the phone is supposed to work on LTE and doesn't, you should see about getting it fixed. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store. They'll be able to tell you if it's the right phone and, if so, what to do next. Seems kind of silly to have a phone that should be working on 4G LTE and, instead of trying to get it fixed, just turining that off. However, that's just my opinion.
