My new iphone 4S I am unable to get my voicemail without calling it and using the pw

I am unable to retrieve my voicemail messages with my new iphone 4S. I went to Sprint and they told me I had bad software but apple was working on it and I should just keep checking for updates. Is this not correct and should I ask for a new phone.

what is it doing when you call your voicemail?

  • My new iphone won't flip sideways, how do i make it so it will use the wide screen?

    my new iphone won't flip sideways, how do i make it so it will use the wide screen?

    Is rotation lock on?  If it is, you'll see most of a circle at the top of the screen with a lock in it.
    Double click the home button, swipe the bottom row left-to-right, look at the leftmost icon.  If there's a lock there, click it.  Then click the home button.

  • With the new IPhone 7 can one search for a song or artist like one could using the iphone 4?

    With my I phone 4 I could search by song or artist and access a song or album and then select purchase.  Is it still possible to search by song or artist with the 7 version or must one always go through radio?

    I understand that, as in some may still need SpeedGrade for specific things, however, when looking at the new premiere, it seems those specific things would be complex things that I don't do. I'll give an example, if you see what Colorista iii  does, that's about as far as I know how to take color grading. It looks to me like the new premiere will have those features colorista has. Which is basically like Speed Grade but maybe not quite as complex.

  • HT4623 iPhone stop letting me make calls, texts and use the Internet. Can power off and turn back on only to be able to use it for a few minuets and it seems to only happen at home.

    April 02 I got home about 9am and was trying to use my phone to send a text and notice that I was unable to send one. I kept getting the red ! telling me that my text wasn't sent so I tried making a call without success. I kept getting call failed. So I attempt to look something in the Internet and I would either get the busy icon or the network timed out message.  So I thought my service had been disconnected for some reason so I called AT&T to explain what was going on and to find out if my service had been interrupted without me knowing about it and the cust rep had me power down the phone and turn it back on and test it out and it appeared to be working until I got back home and it started all over again. I found myself having to power it off and on just so I could do things with it. Today I come to realize that this problem seem to only happen when I am home. I don't know what has changed at my home to cause this to be happening. I don't know what to do to fix this problem. Do anyone know what it could be.

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If the problem continues, contact the carrier to report the issue again and insist they investigate network issues in your area.

  • I am a new iPhone 4s owner. I have a tone in iTunes that I downloaded from the web as a m4r file. Why won't it sync to my iPhone so I can set it as a ringtone.

    Yes, the tone is available and checked in iTunes under the Tones library.
    Yes, it is also listed under the Tones tab for my iPhone, but it is grayed out.
    Yes, tones are selected under "sources" in General Preferences, along with everything else.
    SyncTones was NOT selected under the Tones tab for my iPhone. I did so and it synced.
    Thanks for your help!

  • I don't have a question so much as a comment for APPLE. I am a new iPhone 5s user and it has many things I like but It is too small and I can only talk on the phone and use the internet if i am in a position to use a wifi connection and that is not good

    I am a new iPhone 5s user. I like many of the features it offers. I don't like that I cannot talk and use the internet (if I am away from WI-FI) and this phone is too small. I am actually thinking of returning it and going back to an Android. After all the hassle it took to get all my stuff working on this phone , it may be worth the switch. This phone needs to be able to multitask freely in this day and age. Also Safari is not the best search engine but I could work with it if I could talk and use it at the same time. I use my phone for business and this is a feature that is needed in my line of work.

    I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
    Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
    Best of luck.

  • I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

    I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm currently in India. Could that be the cause or can anyone suggest any reason why this wouldn't work?

    "gets stuck" - are there any error messages?
    If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test:   Go to...
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options.  Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup.  If that doesn't work, then this post will not help.  If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup.  If successful, keep repeating these steps.  If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail.  (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
    This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

    Hello JinxUK,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iCloud Control Panel.  I found an article referencing the error message you are getting:
    “Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error.”
    Apple is investigating this issue. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.

    I recommend saving that link so that you can check back for a resolution when it becomes available.

    You an use your iPhone without connecting it to a computer.
    But the product description for the iPhone clearly states that in order to sync with a Mac you must have OSX 10.6.8 or later. That version of the OSX is usually called Snow Leopard. There are two mo recent versions of OSX. OSX 10.7.x (Lion) and OSX 10.8.x (Mountain Lion).
    If you can upgrade your computer to at least Snow Leopard I suggest you do so.

  • I recently had to purchase a new iPhone 4S.  I backed up my old 4s to my iMac and when I went to restore, I got this message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".

    I recently had to purchase a new iPhone 4S.  I backed up my old 4s to my iMac and when I went to restore, I got this message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".  I just purchased the iPhone 4S today so I know it's not the phone.  How can I get my information back?

    If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
    However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
    Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
    Good luck in retrieving that information.

  • Hi, I got a new iPhone that I havent uploaded to my iTunes yet I had pictures and contacts. I accidentally said to restore it as my old iTouch. Is there a way I can change it back to my old iPhone and get my pictures and contacts back? Thank you

    You would need to check if you made a back up of the iPhone on iTunes/iCloud before you restored from the ipod touch back up. If there isnt then im sorry that data is gone.

  • HT4623 During my update to the new operating system I am unable to get past Rescue EMail. I tried not putting in another e-mail as it says it is optional - that did nto work. I entered a Rescue E-Mail and it will not allow me to go to the next step. Help

    During my update to the new operationg system I am unable to get past the Restore E-Mail. I first chose not to have an "optional" restore e-mail and was unable to get past this section. I then entered an alternate e-mail with the same results. I am unable to get past this section after I push the Next symbol. HELP!

    I am having the same problem.  I think I saw something about VPN and not being able to communicate with Apple web site.  Do you have your protected company email on your phone?

  • I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my Mac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events

    I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?

    Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this?  I fear this is a really stupid question!
    My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails.  But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments.  To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work.  If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level?  or both?   
    Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there  a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

  • I have an iPhone 3gs and will be getting a new iPhone 4s. Once I have updated my existing 3gs with iCloud and backed up to my computer, will I be able to transfer my existing data to my new 4s using iCloud or will I need to do this from my iMac.

    Thanks

    The Apple genius at the Apple store told me this would work. It failed. Basically, updating your iPhone 3GS to iOS5 wipes your 3GS of its data so you can't really do this. Some data worked. Music, photos etc didn't work at all.
    I suggest avoiding iCloud completely for a few weeks until Apple gets it working.
