Notifications for the iPhone 4 not making a sound

I recieved my iPhone 4 in August of 2010 and have had the same one ever since. a few months ago, the ringer stopped working and I figured it was due to the outdated software. However, iTunes was working just fine in that I was able to hear it through the speakers and headphones when they were connected. Along with that, I noticed the button to increase the volume ceased to work. The vibrating still works, but only whenever it wants to; and when I toggle the side button that mutes the device, it will no longer show that a change has been made: ie, the bell-looking thing won't show up, nor will the muted one, and it doesn't vibrate in between switching. The clicking of the keyboard doesn't work, nor does the lock sound, nor the sending (and obviously receiving) of messages.
A few days ago, I upgraded to the new iOS 6 software in hopes that the situation would repair itself and I have had no such luck. I've tried to reset the phone many times, but I cannot seem to find the solution. I have already preordered the iPhone 5, so I shouldn't have this issue much longer, but my sister wants my iPhone 4 and I'd like to fix it for her.. I don't have any insurance and the manufacturer's warranty is up already, and I am aware that the side button to mute will probably cause these issues, but it's not on silent/vibrate. Any other ideas? Thanks.

I have the same problem however it started right after i updated to ios 6. In searching around I found others with the same problem after the update. All of the people that had the same issue also had an iphone 4. Is this a software issue or an issue with iphone 4??? Thr Apple store did a restore on the phone and it didnt fix the problem. They felt ie was likely a software problem as well but told me the only thing they could do was sell me another iphone 4 for $150. If the update to ios 6 caused the problem why should I have to buy the phone???

IPad is not making any sounds except for itunes, Pandora and Netflix. Need help.

From one day to another the iPad is not making any sounds (lock, keyboard, games) except for music on iTunes, Pandora and video on Netflix. All sounds are activated on the iPad's general settings. I have synced it and updated the OS to no avail. Any help or suggestions is gratly appreciated.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been 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 task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

I purchased the Brookstone DLP projector for the iPhone, and all the reviews state the iPhone 4S can be mirrored with it. However, I can't not figure out how to do so. Is there a setting to change? Can't figure it out! ARGGG!

It will show pictures and videos if I choose, Start Slideshow, but it won't show anything else, no apps, etc.
Here's a few examples of the reviews which state it mirrors:

I bought this for video analysis presentations with an app on the phone, so this is a key feature for me.
Any help is appreciated.

I also have not figured out how to mirrow either. I ask you both, is the sound via the projector louder than the phone itself when projector is tuerned off? No matter what I do the max vilume through the projector speakers is lower that the phone itself even with phone remaining installed in projector. I am think of taking it back to try another one.

What is the best headset for the iphone 5 that is not bluetooth. I need great listening and speaking quality.

What would you consider to be the "best" non-bluetooth headset for the Iphone 5? I have had some serious health issues of which could be stemming from the bluetooth and I need great sound quality both listening and speaking. Any suggestions?

Problem with wired headsets is that there is not std for mic in headsets so if its not 100 % made for iphones it will not work

What I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
This is how O2 function and according to Gemma this is how Vodafone work

Making a game for the iPhone and iPod touch!!!

Hi, I'm not really sure if this is where this thread belongs, but I couldn't find a better fit category, sorry!
Anyway.
I'm a complete NOOB at making games. I'm a complete NOOB at flash animations and coding a game with the iPhone SDK. In fact, I have NEVER coded ANY game in my LIFE before, nor touched flash development programs, with the only exception being a month or two using Game Maker 2.0 which involved about 3 lines of code per game .
I want to develop a quality game for the App store and sell it. My basic idea is using flash to animate some people and having a sniper-type layout where you have to shoot things. (Sorry if I'm being vague, I dont want anyone to take my idea. There's more to it, including one really "clever" aspect of the game (in my mind) which is why I think I can get it to sell.) If its a really great quality game, how long do you estimate it will take me, start to finish, including learning to code with the SDK, to finish this project? 3 weeks? 2 months?
Thanks!

Hello,
You can't use Flash as that's not available for the iPhone/iPod touch.
You can find out about developing for the platform here:

Can I use my IMac OS 10.4 (old) to set up a wifi router, such as Airport Base, so I can have a wifi connection for the iPhone I plan to buy? My IMac is not wifi capable.

Can I use my several-years-old IMac OS 10.4 to set up a wireless router, such as Aiport Base, so I can have wifi for the iPhone I plan to buy. My IMac is not wife capable.

Yes, Airport Express Base Station connected to your Mac by ethernet will work as a bridge. Or you can connect the AE directly to your router/modem by ethernet if it's a non-wi-fi router and it will act as a relay for that.

When is apple going to release a iPhone 5 alarm clock? The lack of accessories for the iPhone 5 is really making me wish I would have just kept my 4s.

Hi - There is an alarm choice at the bottom of the clock app - is this what you are looking for?

The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end.

The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I've tried it multiple times and continue to get the same message: "NOT FOUND The requested item could not be found". I also tried through the Market application on the phone but ended-up with the same result.
I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end. If this is the case then no one can download the app. I considered that perhaps because it's still in Beta that it was removed due to some other type of software issue. I would really like to use Firefox on my new Droid (2.0); when with this be available?

Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

Only developer's have access to iOS 6 now. Thus, if you are a developer you have have access to the developer's forum for iOS 6.
Otherwise you have a bootleg copy and are on yur own./

Is there a Strike through in notes for the iPhone?

Is there a Strike through in notes for the iPhone?

oh, sorry. I'm pretty sure there is not anything out yet like that.
There are other apps like that you will just have to use them for each job you are doing.
Another one is called Text Editor, Write Pad, etc...

You cannot.
Unless you have done as you should and have the old facebook app on your computer.

Hi Guys,
I have the sam problem just upgrading to iOs6.0.1. iTunes returns the following error:
Ive tried updating via my device (New iPad) and same problem.
I started downloading the update last week but stopped it for reasons I cannot remember. Now it seems that Ive clogged my system.
My iTunes is up to date. I have however not run any Quicktime or iCloud updates cause i do not use the software. Will it make a difference.
Also my Windows updates might be a bit outdated, say about a month or so.
Please help, very frustrating!
Also sorry but while Im here I have another question. A while ago the brightness level of my iPad adjusted by itself (not Auto Adjust). Its like it dimmed via Auto Adjust and did not "un-dim" and now Im forced to run brightness at 100% and consequently is hard on battery life. Any ideas?

I have been trying to update to iOS 5 and every time I hit update it says, " There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. The network connection could not be established." What do I need to do to update to solve this problem?

Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
