My phone is dropping calls, doesn't ring all the time-goes directly to voice mail, do no recieve alert on when a text is recieved

1-My phone does not ring all the time upon recieving an incoming call, it goes directly to voice mail.
2- Not recieving alert tone upon recieving a text message.
3- Dropping calls also

We have the same problem widespread in our company with iPhone 4's and 5's:
- Fails to establish the call, dials but nothing happens
- Drops the call for no reason even though signal strength is good
- Recevie text alerts to notify of voicemail when the handset has not rung nor does it show missed calls
We migrated someone to a Samsung Galaxy S4 for a month and all these issues went away. Nothing to do with alert tones turned down or faulty silent switches.

IPhone 4S doesn't ring all the time misses calls

My phone is missing about 60% of the calls. Often it goes straight to message. More often it just doesn't ring. Very frustrating to miss so many calls.

Same problem, if I mess with the volume slider you can hear sound fine, but the buttons on the side don't work and the phone only rings sometimes other times it just vibrates (it is not on mute and the volume is all the way up). Example: I receive a text and it rings, 2 minutes later I receive another text and it only vibrates. AT&T is my carrier.

IPod touch is tripling my messages from mail. Doesn't happen all the time. Upon checking my mail, all incoming messages will show up at least 3 times.

iPod Touch is showing my mail messages tripled. Incoming messages show up three times instead of as only one message.

I've tried reindexing dozens of times. It never makes a difference. I have another issue today.
I just went through a smart "unread" mailbox of 200 messages. I individually selected all but 4 emails and deleted them all. After they were deleted, I went to my regular inbox to find an old mesage and all the 196 emails I had just deleted were still in there.

Help. I can´t slide to answer when the phone rings, and i´m missing a lot of phone calls! It doesn´t happens all the time but quite enough to be annoying. I´v restarted and updated it. Suggestions? Thanks

When you said you have no fax machines on your line, that does include computers directly connected to the phone line?
The reason that I ask is a computer with a dial-up modem (a non broadband modem) that can connect to your phone line, can have software that makes the computer act as a fax machine.

Call your phone carrier - that's a problem for them to resolve.

I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business. I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time. How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

Syncing your phones to the same iCloud account won't cause them to both ring all the time, it only puts the same contacts, calendars, and other synced data on the phone. The phones will only ring with someone calls the number associated with the phone.
If you want to stop using iCloud on one or both of the phones, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Keep On My iPhone when prompted. This will disconnect them from iCloud and keep a copy of the synced data on the phone.

I need an app that forces certain numbers to ring all the time (Similar to Auto Ring).

I downloaded the Auto Ring app for my Galaxy S3, and it worked for a while, but it will no longer work. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still does not work. Has anyone used a similar app that works on the Galaxy S3?

The Auto Ring app allows you to make a list of numbers that you want to ring all the time, even when your phone is on vibrate or silent. This makes it so you do not miss important calls. I want an app that does that, and that works on the S3.

I have Elements 11. Sometimes, if I edit a photo in Elements Editor, the date gets changed to the current date. Why does that happen? It doesn't happen all the time, so I can't isolate the cause. Any ideas?

Does anyone get a vibration sound when talking on the iPhone6? It doesn't happen all the time and happens with talking to different people.

Safari show all tabs doesn't work all the time

It is annoying: safari show all tabs doesn't work all the time. The little icon to the right of the "New Tab" area sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. The Shift Command Back-slash, sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. I find no rhyme nor reason for this. I have a MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion, the latest updates. It doesn't matter if I am in Full Screen or not.
I am quite confused regarding this.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, empty the cache more often from your keyboard.
Command + Option + E

Junk mail filter doesn't work all the time

Why doesn't the Junk mail filter work all the time? I click on mail like from Best Buy or Omni Hotels to go into junk mail but hardly any of their mail goes into Junk. Other sites go directly to Junk. If I click on a Best Buy mail to indicate it's Junk, shouldn't that work 100% of the time forever and ever?

The Junk filter is based on an analysis of the content of the message. It ignores the sender. (Filtering based on the sender is an ineffective way of dealing with true spam, since spammers use constantly-changing spoofed addresses.)
If you don't want mail from a legitimate sender like Best Buy, unsubscribe from their ads. If that doesn't work, make a Rule to delete or move the messages.

I am using a T61 ThinkPad with an external hard drive and my itunes library keeps disapearing but remains on the external drive. Any idea how to fix this so my music doesn't disapear all the time? It's a real drag pulling music back into iTunes each week.

In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

Receiving Calls Problem - going directly to voice mail

My iPhone is set to check for email every 15 minutes. If someone calls at the time iPhone is automatically checking for email, the call goes directly to voice mail.
Worse it doesnt even show up as a missed call.
I understand that Edge is turned off when making a call.
But this happens automatically so I have no control over this feature. I tried calling myself from a landline at the time iPhone was checking for emails and verified this issue.
Does anyone else have the same problem - what is the solution?
Thanks

"That's the way that GSM/EDGE works. The radio can only do one thing at a time. If it's doing data, then the voice call goes right to VM and you don't get notified until the VM gets in."
That is not entirely correct. That is not how GSM/EDGE works. This is how iPhone is designed to work. I have a Nokia N73 and when i am browsing the Web using EDGE (T-Mobile's network), if i get a call, i will be prompted to accept the call. The way that iPhone is designed, it seems to be that Apple values data connectivity more than voice calls. In my opinion, this is probably the wrong way to do it.

My iPad mini home button doesn't work all the time

When I click the home button on my ipad, it doesn't do anything. If I try a few more times then it will work once or twice. But not all the time.

Calibrate Home button
1. Open a stock application e.g. Calendar or Youtube
2. Hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" control appears
3. as soon as you see it, press the home button and keep it pressed until the red slider disappears and the app is force quit to the home menu

Optical drive doesn't work all the time

My optical drive doesn't mount movies i bought on dvds. IT'S like it has a mind of its own, it only plays movies when it feels like it and forget any install dvds like Snow Leopard, printers etc...! What's the problem with it? I cleaned it and all my dvds are like brand new, no scratches or any thing.

Hello marinfo
Welcome to Apple Discussions
It is normal for all the fans to be running all the time.
If your iMac is making noise, then there is something wrong and you need to take it in for service.
