My phone's speakers only work sometimes. It started recently, and I just moved to Hawaii so I am at the beach alot. Could sand have something to do with this? Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

Absolutely!
If you are taking your $500 electronic device to the beach, I recommend you get a case that completely seals the iPhone from the elements (ie. waterproof).

    Rodger,
    Thank you for your gracious welcome . . .

    and thank you for your information (and encouragement!).
    Yes, I read that too, but searched in vain for the specifity of, say, your direction:
    "Go ahead and update to 8.0.2, as it contains the 8.0.1 update."
    So I shall!
    Again, many thanks.

  • My iPhone 5s has stopped playing music out of the speakers. It works when I plug in my headphones but other than that there's no sound. It just randomly happened so I'm not sure if I can fix it or if I need to bring my phone in

    Hi Cassilecompte,
    If you are not getting any sound from your iPhone’s speaker, you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • I have an iphone 3 and outlook 2010. I cleaned up all my outlook contacts and tried to sync but not all of the existing contacts on my phone show up in outlook. Is there a way to sync all numbers on iphone to oulook so I can clean them up from my desktop?

    I have an Iphone 3 and use Outlook 2010. I just recently tried to sync with my desktop using Itunes and once they were synced I cleaned up alot of the contacts using outlook but when I tried to sync them not all the information from outlook made it to my iphone. Additionally, there are a lot of contacts in my iphone that are not showing up in outlook. I have tried several things but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

    So after looking a bit closer i have noticed that when i have the phone plugged into the computer it shows the songs but when i dont have it plugged in and i go so the song icon on the bottom of the music menu screen it says i have no songs!

  • IPhone 4 just upgraded to 4.2.9.  First time I plugged headphones in, phone doesn't recognize when they are removed.  I have tried repeatedly plugging/unplugging headphones, but still no speaker volume.  Any ideas?

    I have recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to OS 4.2.9.  After plugging in headphones, I can't get the speakers to work.  I have read a few articles online that suggest inserting and removing the headphone plug into the jack, but this hasn't worked.  Any ideas?

    Just read another article that suggested blowing compressed air in the port.  After trying this, the speakers were working again.

  • After updating to V 15.0 I have the issue that suddenly many but not all of the functions do not work anymore. Menues and download links do not work.

    I have updated my firefox to version 15.0. After this I have the effect that at some unspecified time during use many of the functions stop working. Menu's do not open, download links do not work anymore and so on. Opening new tab's or windows still works. Links on pages partly work partly not. Copy and paste does not work anymore on webpages. It takes ending the firefox process and restarting to correct the issue until it happens again. I have those effects on totally different webpages. At this time it happens every time after I start Firefox but not right away. Firefox first works for some time and then it suddenly doesn't anymore without me having done anything special

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Exchange Retention Policy Tag for Voicemails - worked for UM but not for new Cisco Unity - Any ideas?

    Hi All,
    We're in the process of moving from Unified Messaging to Cisco Unity. In the past, I had successfully applied the following Retention Policy Tag which worked with UM:
    New-RetentionPolicyTag "Voice Mail 60 Day Retention" -Type All -MessageClass voicemail -Comment "Untagged messages removed after 60 days." -RetentionEnabled $true -AgeLimitForRetention 60 -RetentionAction DeleteAndAllowRecovery
    Now, with Cisco Unity, I see that the voicemails show "Expires: Never."
    The Cisco voicemails differ from UM in that instead of being *.mp3 files, they are *.wav.
    I cannot figure out a way to create a Retention Policy tag that deletes a specific file type. Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    MrMister

    Those don't exist. The tags work on message class. The Cisco VMs are not the same forms as the Exchange UMs essentially.

  • HT4972 I have lost most (but not all) of the phone numbers from Contacts.

    This is my work iphone, connected to my work MS Exchange account.  First I upgraded to iOS5, but that caused the 3G connection to stop working (my phone contacts were still there at that point).  The IT guy at work eventually fixed the 3G connection - it was something to do with the profile being blocked, I don't know exactly, and I don't know what he did to get it working.  However, whatever he did, it caused most of the phone numbers in Contacts to disappear.  Unfortunately they're not in my Contacts in Outlook either, so I can't restore them from there.
    I guess the most likely option is to restore them from the backup that occurred during the iOS5 upgrade - can someone suggest how I can do that?  Or any other ideas?
    Thanks for your help.

    Contacts are not completely backed up as part of the iPhone backup.  Only contacts necessary to back up your recent call and favorites lists are backed up, which often won't include all your contacts.  (In fact, if the IT person backed up and then restored your phone from backup that may be how he lost many of your contacts.)  Also, restoring from backup will revert all settings and data on your phone to those contained in the backup.  If you want to try to restore from your backup anyway follow this procedure:
    Before connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent…from syncing automatically"
    Now connect your phone to your computer and import your photos to avoid losing any recent photos (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
    Open iTunes and when your phone appears on the left sidebar, right-click on its name and choose Transfer Purchases (to transfer any recent purchased into your iTunes library)
    Right-click on the name of her phone again and choose Restore from Backup, choosing the backup you wish to restore from
    When this completes you can go back and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefers this

  • My Iphone 4, to which all my outlook email is forwarded to. is only receivng some of the emails but not all. It has worked beautifully in the past but no longer. What can I do to get all emails?

    My Iphone 4, to which all my outlook email is forwarded to. is only receivng some of the emails but not all. It has worked beautifully in the past but no longer. What can I do to get all emails?

    I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
    If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).  You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process.  Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone.  Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process.

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.
