Hi there gizmotoall,
You may want to verify your settings using the information in the article below. Also, double check that the side switch isn't set to silent mode.

  • HT4623 My iPad 2 does not say software update between about and usage in gerenal setting anyone know why this is

    My iPad 2 does not say software update between about and usage in general setting anyone know why this  any help welcome thanks

    Keith.  Look in settings, general, about.  About halfway down the screen is an entry labeled version.  If it is anything lower than 5.0, then you wil not get wireless updates.   You need to plug your pad into your computer that you set it up with which is running the current version of I tunes to get the update.
    When you plug it in to i tunes, be sure to do a backup.  Also, the machine will ask if you want to transfer purchases.  Tell it yes.  This saves your content and purchased apps and music to your iTunes on the computer.  When you do the software update, it will then reload that material onto your pad.
    If you have taken any pictures on your pad, be sure to upload those to I photo, or whatever photo library you are using so that they are not lost when you do the upgrade.
    Once you get to the current version, any future software updates can be done over the air, not requiring you to use the computer.  That feature was enabled with version 5.    But it is a good idea to do backup and syncs with your computer from time to time.

  • My phone does not show contact names for country and area code while having in coming calls. Although, I have endorsed the name with numbers. How do I the problem. My one is a iphone 3s device with updated os. Please text to help

    My iphone does not recognize saved contact number while having incoming calls due to country and area code as auto prefix. How do i fix the problem. How do i ensure that the phone recognize calls with and without the country and area code. Please text to help.

    1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
    2) When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
    3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, "Settings updated."
    4) Open the Task Manager and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications
    5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe)
    6) Open the Message App to verify the fix

  • MSI P6N SLI V2 does not boot up from cd/dvd and few other problems

    HI
    I just bought a computer P6N SLI V2 + E6750. It has following problem. It does not boot from cd.
    I have Sata HD. CD/DVD is installed to IDE as a master.
    I have done settings in bios so that First boot is cd/dvd and second is sata HD. Anyhow it still goes to the hd and stars windows.
    I was only able to boot up from cd when I disabled hd from boot sequency. Meaning I left only cd/dvd there.
    Hopefully you pro's can help me.
    Then there is another problem. Windows is telling me that it found new pci device. I do not know what device. I have only Graphig card (geforce 8800 gts) installed into pci-E. Drivers and software are also installed, I assume proberly. How to find out what windows thinks it found.
    Third problem is onboard soundcard. I cannot get any sound out from the machine. I have downloaded driver from realtek, but still no sound.
    Unfortunatelly I do not have original software for motherboard. Only the latest from MSI website.
    Hopefully someone can help me.
    thanks.

    About bootup, i dont know yet.
    To find out what windows found, look in devicemanager.
    To go there go to controlpanel, system then choose devicemanager.
    There you can see what's installed.
    Last, your soundcards needs to be enabled in bios, under integrated peripherals there should be a line with "onboard sound", enable this and sound should work, unless its broken.

  • Since IOS8 and iMovie 10.0.5, using Theater, I cannot transfer my movie to my iPad.  iPad does not see the movie via iCloud.  What other ways can I transfer my movie from my iMac to my iPad?

    Before installing iOS8 on my iPad, and also updating to iMovie 2.1; and installing the Maverick on my iMac, new movies I make on the iMac and load into Theater do not come over to my iPad.  This seems to be due to a new Yosemite OS no yet released.  What are a couple of other ways I can transfer my movie to my iPad?  I am out of ideas. 

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.

  • My music on the iPod touch 4g isn't sorted out by little sections anymore. For example songs with the letter A and then there will be a marker for all A lettered songs, but my ipod does not do that to all of my music. How can i fix this?

    My music on itunes doesn't have the markers anymore, how can i fix this?
    So my songs should be listed like this:
    A
    Advice
    B
    Bang
    C
    Chinter's will
    K
    KannaZuki No Miko
    L
    Lights

    The reason the alphabetical sections aren't showing is because you don't have enough songs. In order for them to show, you have to have a certain number of songs. ( I think it's 40 ).

  • "spam" caller list so the phone does not even ring?

    Is there a way to add a nuisance call to a "spam" caller list so the phone does not even ring?

    File a complaint at donotcall.gov. You're never going to be able to catch them all. Most of them now use voip systems that can spoof numbers. They almost never call from the same number twice and within 24 hours of beginning to use it, the number is dead. Completely shut down.
    What the industry really needs is a vetted real-time black-list of smap callers that you could subscribe to, similar to those used to filter spam e-mailers. Probably won't happen in this decade, though.

  • I have an I phone 4s and I have many contacts in my phone.  However, whne my phone rings or I receive a text, the phone does not show the name of the contact person only the phone number.  I have checked every setting I can think of ?

    I have an I phone 4s and I have many contacts in my phone.  However, when my phone rings or I receive a message.  The phone does not show the name of the caller.  It only shows the phone number that is calling.  I am sure this is a setting problem, but I have checked every setting I can think of.  Any suggestions??

    If you are a Verizon user try this:
    Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
    When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
    Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
    Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom.  Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
    Wait a 3-5 minutes.
    Try your phone again and see if it's fixed.

  • Main speaker stopped working. Phone does not ring, sound only through earpiece/headphone. What to do?

    main speaker stopped working. Phone does not ring, sound only through earpiece/headphone. What to do?

    I spoke to the reseller today and they aggred to exchanged it. They didn't elaborate on the actual cause but thought that it had to be a hardware issue.
    It could either be the issue that Euvix suggested or it could be as simple as the outer speaker is simply not working.
    Anesi, did you use the phone before the upgrade? Looking at what you've written I take you didn't so I would go back and get it exchanged.

  • My i4s phone does not ring on incoming calls.  The settings appear to be correct

    My i4s phone does not ring on incoming calls.  The settings appear to be correct for the phone to ring.
    Also, during a call, when I hit the speaker buttom, I can neither hear nor be heard by the other party
    Any suggestions?

    Try a factory restore, this might be a software problem so just plug into itunes and go and click the restore button. If this doesnt fix it then its a hardware problem meaning you need to head to an apple store for a replacement.

  • HT4515 phone does not ring during incomming call

    phone does not ring during incomming call

    Is the phone silenced? Check the button on the side of the phone above the volume buttons if you see an orange line it is silienced, slide it to the front of the phone and it should correct this.  Also ensure the volume is up.  If you've checked these and still nothing are you able to call people? do you have service?
