No ring when I get a Facetime call - intermittent

I have the same problem as many others when I get a Facetime call on my Ipad2. There is no ring - but this happens intermittently! It happens almost all the time with one person but not with any others. Please don't tell me about the mute switch, because it works well most of the time. Thanks in advance to the solver of my dilema.

This is very easy to resolve in 3 easy steps. goto
1. settings
2. general
3. where it says 'Use Side switch to' you will see two choices
a) Lock rotation
b) Mute
Mute will be ticked if you are not getting a ringtone when someone calls you on Facetime
Simply Click on 'Lock Rotation'
Lock Rotation will now be ticked
Mute will be unticked.
Facetime calls will now ring your iPad2

My iPad 2 doesn't ring when there are incoming FaceTime calls. This problem started when I updated to iOS 8.1. IOS 8.1.1 didn't correct this problem. Any suggestions?

My iPad 2 does not ring when receiving incoming FaceTime calls since updating iOS 8.1. iOS 8.1.1 has not helped this problem. I checked the settings to make sure Restrictions were off. I cannot find anyplace that turns sound notification for FaceTime on or off.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

In spite of the fact that you said you checked the settings, I still believe that you have system sounds muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

AS for your other issues, have you done any other troubleshooting like resetting your iPad, resetting all settings or doing a complete factory reset?

Why do all my devices ring when I get an incoming call? How do I turn this off?

Since my last iphone update (8.1.2), everytime I get an incoming call of any form (regular call, facetime, even sms and imessages), all my other devices (ipad, ipods) ring too at the same time. Its driving me crazy. How to I get rid of that?

Settings>FaceTime>Cellular Calls = Off

HT204380 Why does my I pad not ring when I have a FaceTime call

Whenever I receive a FaceTime call it does not ring I have checked in settings to make sure the noises and alert ect. Are all turned on.u

This used to show up as a question with some frequency - but i havent seen it in the last year. used to be a pad 2 issue, and I see you have a pad 2. While i had the pad 2, that would be a problem from time to time - but went away, and I was never clear on the cause.
So - the basics. You have already checked in notifications, and the alert spound is on. Ringer and alerts volume slider is not all the way down? (this is the only app that uses the ringer - as far as I know)
System sounds are on? (pad is not muted)
I would suggest you continue to play around with the settings. (You can facetime yourself from your iphone -if you are so equipped - so quick tests are easy)

HT4053 I have lost the ring when I get a phone call or a messege. The phone vibrates, but there is no ringtone. I have a ringtone picked and the ringer volume is as high as possible.

That pretty much sez it. No ringtone on a call or messege or text although one has been selected. Vibration but not tone. Ringer volume is all the way and nothing.

Check:

My iPhone 4S no longer vibrates or rings when I get messages or calls. Help meeee

I didn't drop it or anything. And now I am sad and my friends and family think I don't love them because I never respond to their messages or answer their calls. Mer.

Before spending money or considering an upgrade, try basic troubleshooting.
From the User's Guide, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order.

My iPad now rings when I get a call on my iPhone. How do I stop this from happening?

I updated to IOS 8 and now my iPad rings (wifi iPad air) when I get a phone call on my iPhone 5s. How do I stop my iPad from receiving telephone calls?

Hi there martyb33,
It sounds like you may have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

I have 1 apple id, 2 5S iPhones with separates numbers and both ring when I get a call on one of the numbers. How do I switch that of ?

I have 1 Apple ID, 2 5S iPhones (1 private/1 work) with separates numbers and both phones ring when I get a call on one of the numbers. How do I switch that of ?

I realize that my wife could make her own iTunes account; however, she's been using mine for about 2 years now and this hasn't been an issue. I guess with the Family Sharing she can have access to all of our music and apps now with her own account.
I'll have to see if unchecking our emails resolves this issue.

I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring.

I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.

Hi,
There are two easy fixes to this.
One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
Hope this helps!

Hi BrendaQ,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone does not ring when you receive calls or messages, start with these steps:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

My sister's iphone volume will not go up or down and her ringtones do not ring when she gets a call what should she do?

My sisters Iphone volume buttons do not work and the phone does not ring when she gets a call yet when she is in settings. What should she do?

Hi,
If it's Not the Silent Switch... Try a Reset of the Phone...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
Cheers,

Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can not figure out why there is NO sound when I get a text?

Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can't not figure out why it does not make a sound, when I receive a text or typing???

Deborah,
The solutions on here did not work for me.   I tried.....
I have the same problem with a BRAND NEW iPhone 5c version 7.1- no sound when a text message arrives.
(1) I have "do not disturb" scheduled correctly.   No partial moon on the main screen near the time and battery indicator.
(2) I have the ringer icon correct with no slash.    Yes I turned the hardward mute switch to the UP position (ie the one above the + and - buttons on the left side.   I tried messaging with the bell as shown and bell with a slash and neither work.   The mute switch is not red (switch above the + volume hardware switch)     I enabled some assistant using the Settings menu.    And I press the dot (looks like a target symbol) and go to Devices and I can see what position the bell is in....either a bell with a slash or no slash.
(3) Yes ringtones are configured for text and other. I can hear them when I am under settings > sounds.   But they do not link with the actual hardware.
(4) I rebooted the iPhone 5c by using the button at top, slide the red bar, then pressed it again, apple came up for a minute and it seemed to be back up.
(5) I upgraded the IPhone 5c from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using my pc and itunes.   And the upgrade was successful but did not fix the text issue.
(6) I do not have it in airplane mode or silent mode.
(7) I reset all settings using Setttings > General > reset > reset all settings . this wipes settings but not data and media.
This is really frustrating.
