No sound alerts for messages or phone calls since upgrade

I too had no sound alerts for calls or messages since upgrading but then I discovered that the 'Do Not Disturb' option had been somehow switched on after I upgraded. If you have a moon icon at top corner of your screen that's what's happened. You need to go into Settings>DoNotDisturb and switch it off. It worked for me so hope it helps someone else.

Look in the Notifications settings to see if the update turned them off there. If they are turned on and you are still not getting alers on the lock screen, reset your phone. Hold down Home and Power buttons at the same time, wait for Apple logo to appear and wait for the phone to reboot itself.
See if you get alerts with the phone locked. If you still don't get alerts, do a Reset Network Settings reset, Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings. You will have to re-enter your wifi passwords.
If this doesn't help do a Reset All Settings reset. You won't lose any data or content , but the settings on the phone will all be reset to factory defaults and you will need to go in and turn the things you turned on and off on and off again.

HT201401 No sound when receiving message or phone call - worked previously

For 2 years my phone has worked fine but now I am not receiving any sound to notify me of phone calls or messages. I have checked all the settings and cannot determine why this has happened. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Curve 9360 custom sound alerts for messages will not work. Tried EVERYTHING.

I have a brand spanking new BlackBerry Curve 9360 that just arrived yesterday. It is great apart from this very frustrating small prob. I can not customise my message alerts for individual people in my address book. When I click on "try it" only the LED button flashes and there is no sound or vibration. I am trying to get the sound and vibrate to play as "active profile" but it just won't. I can override it and have custom volume and vibrate that plays no matter what the profile but as I sometimes like to set my main profile to vibrate or silent, it won't do.
So far, to fix it, I have tried:
Wiping profile and sounds from the blackberry software
Full factory reset
Creating my own profile and using that instead of "normal" or any of the other preset ones
Loads of battery pulls before and/or after any changes
I have also had a few different people text me to make sure the problem isn't just the "try it" feature. It isn't. The sound that plays is always the default message sound for whatever the default profile is.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated
Deb

I have also experienced exactly the same problem.
The profile is set on normal, with the ringer volume on 10, the ring tone has been selected, and I have also selected the option of the vibrator along with the ring tone.
Now here is the problem, initially it rings and works perfectly, however it seems to automatically turn off the volume so the LED light keeps flashing, however there is not ring tone or vibration.
If you select the "normal" profile or any other profile and change the ring tone or the volume, and click on the try it icon at the bottom, it still only flashes the LED, with no sound.
Have tried everything that you have mentioned in your email, however still unable to rectify the issue. the only way to rectify is it to hard stop the BB, by pulling out the battery and restarting the Blackberry.
Can anyone help or suggest what needs to be done ?

How do I enable sound alert for messages

When I get a message it shows as a sient notification. Is there anyway to enable an Audi me alert

There are a couple of things for which to check here:
1. Make sure that you have audio notifications enabled. Go into Skype and choose "Settings" from the menu. From there, choose Notifications and make sure that "Notification Sound" is checked.
2. If you're still not hearing notifications for chat messages, make sure your phone is not on Vibrate or Priority Mode. If you've got the Android 5.0 update on your G3, then we will obey the "Priority" notification setting for sounds and not play them on incoming chat messages, but the phone will ring audibly. When you change the volume using the volume buttons, you can choose "All" instead of "Priority" below the volume slider and notifications should then come with audio.
Let us know if that makes a difference

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?

I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S. I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds. After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?" I didn't even know such a function existed. Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual. If it is green, turn it off. You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu). I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere. Good luck!

Text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5

text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5. I backed up my 4 before activating my 5. Can i retrieve them somehow?

i would not want to bet on nokia ever releasing a patch or update in the software to allow this function on this particular phone.
if you look at nokia phones over the years, they have added functionality like this across a wide range all at once, take for example timed profiles on symbian phones. these have only just been phased in.
i do not think it is a development cop out, more along the lines that nokia is a huge company and as such would have a huge effor in market research. if they didnt pick this out through their market researc, why spend the money adding it?
the comment on annoyance is entirely personal to me, as it is important to you - you may want to consider moving to a symbian (series 60) based handset as these give you a lot of expansion for this sort of need.

Not getting any sound alerts for new mail, key lock etc

I'm not geeting any sound alerts for new email, sent mail, clender alerts etc for my iphone 4. Though all my alerts are on. Also I can't hear the incoming call but the speaker works. I've already upgraded to latest 4.3.3 Any help appriciated.

Did all that...talked to Apple 5 hours and I did everything they said..they don't kno what the problem is

No sound alert for incoming emails

I lost sound alerts for the incoming email messages into my yahoo mail inbox since I upgraded to Mountain lion. I even made rule to play sound it but doesn't work!!! I have all the setting on. Apple please fix since this problem arose with Mountain Lion upgradation.
On the other hand any communication done through the apple mail app doesn't save send items automatically. Apple email is poorly desigend and needs to be redesign or eliminated completely.

Thanks. I just talked to apple rep and we figured out that in system preference>sound effect> output volume, I had mute option checked which happened during upgradation to Mountain lion. iI unchecked mute and now sound alert works. However the sent items are not being synchronized with web based yahoo email sent items.

How to I get my contact names to show up in messages and phone calls?

My contact names have stopped showing up in messages and phone calls. How do I fix this problem?

Did you change your region settings recently? (if so, set it back to the region you had before)
Have you checked to see if your contacts are syncing properly in iCloud? (do the contacts match what you have online?)

Long and short of it, the settings can be individually changed under Notifications. Select Mail and then the account you want to change the sound to.

I use iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0.2

IPad mini will not alert for skype and facetime calls. Everything is on. This started after one of the updates after ios 7.

HHow many times do I have to write this?!?
ipad mini will not alert for facetime or skype calls. Yes everything is on. No, mute is not on. Fed up!

Hello, pleaseacceptthisalias.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would first start with forcing all applications to close and power cycle the device. Once this is done, have someone make a test call using these applications. If the issue persists, see the steps in the second article.

Troubleshooting notifications
Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
Note: Notifications use Wi-Fi only when a cellular connection is unavailable. Firewalls and proxy servers may affect your ability to receive notifications. For more information, see Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
Verify that the app supports notifications.
After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.

Can i add a sound alert or message when someone comments on a pic of a photo stream when i am only another participant (not owner of the photstream)?

Hi,
How can i add a sound alert or message when someone comments on a pic of a photo stream when i am only another participant (not owner of the photstream)? Thank you. Joana

Joana,
that should be automatic.
See: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.4/#pht884a8908
When you like or comment on a photo in a shared stream, a notification is sent to all the Apple devices of the photo stream’s creator and subscribers. You can delete comments you added to a photo by placing the pointer over the comment and clicking the Delete button that appears.
Usually the problem is the other way round - how to prervent spamming all subscribers to a shared stream from being alerted to each comment on a photo in the stream. Quite a few subcribers have cancelled their subscriptions to shared streams, because they have continously been sent alert messages and could not disable them. It can get rather annoying - there is no way to silently add a few comments to photos and then send only one alert.

Have been using Lightroom on my Apple computer for years. Now, ever since upgrading to Apple's Yosemite operating system I get an error message (150:30) every time I try to open a lightroom file. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Also how do I subscribe to Adobe's Premium Support? Every time I've tried (through contact support) I just get taken on an unending loop.

I think we need a lot more information.
Exactly what does the message say?
Exactly what files are you trying to open?
Exactly how are you trying to open them (what menu command or button or mouse action or keyboard shortcut)?
And lastly, what version of Lightroom are you using?

No sound alerts for messages or phone calls since upgrade
