Sound on iPhone4S disappears at frequent intervals, no ring or sound from Apps

Sound suddenly decides to cut out such as no alarm going off this morning! Comes back after switching off but then will happen again later. Issue was on 4G so I cahnged to partner's iPhone4S only to find it's happening again! Apple Care had suggested it was speaker issue in 4G but can't be in this 4S as partner never had issue. Any ideas folks? Please? Or am I jinxed!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue is not resolved by the basic troubleshooting, contact Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
FYI, there is not a "4G" model iPhone, there is an iPhone 4 and 4S.

After I tried to install Mavericks on my Macbook Air, June 2012 the the drive began to fail, with the appearance at more and more frequent intervals of the spinning beach ball, I had to restart even after I wiped the drive and reinstalled Mountain Lion

After I installed Mavericks I could no longer shut my Macbook Air (mid July 2012) down, except by force quit,I was using an Apple Tv screen and Apple wireless keyboard. After that the spinning beachball kept appearing at more and more frequent intervals, even after I had wiped the drive and re-installed Mountain Lion from the Apple site. It is now almost non functional. and just three months out of warranty

Backup your data as soon as you can.
MacBook Air computers sold between June 2012 through June 2013 are known to have a high SSD failure rate and Apple is replacing them for free.

You should maintain current backups. Given the known failure rate of your SSD that is especially important.

TS3276 I have no sound on my MacBook Air for sending and receiving messages. All sound settings have been checked and are OK. This problem has arisen many times and is intermittent in the sense that the sound returns and disappears for no apparent reason.

Open System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
Select: Play user interface sound effects
And make sure the Mute box is not selected.
Now open Mail. From the Mail menu bar clik Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
Make a selection from the: New messages sound pop up menu.

Sound and Metering disappears after edits are made.

I recently got a software update for Logic, and since then a new project i started has been acting very strangely.
I play my material and whilst playing, if i move a region or change automation, the sound and metering disappears.
I have checked I/O and audio setups.
This issue also only started happening while had already made some progress on the project.
Any other news of this with the new update??

My project contains instrument tracks, audio tracks and midi tracks and some automation.
When I make a change to any of the regions in the arrange window....move, copy or delete a region (not editing the regions content), or add or change automation, the sound drops out, and no levels on the meters can be seen.... but the playhead keeps moving.
Now..... If I add new regions, this new content (midi or audio) can be heard and will be metered, but still none the other regions will be heard.
If i now cut/delete ALL of my regions and then paste/undo the action, ALL of my regions will now be heard again (and metered).
Yet, attempting to now make another change to any region will result in sound dropping out again.
Does this help?
What on earth is going on??

There is no sound on my iPhone4. Everything is working fine, and suddenly sound goes off, any recomendation will be apreciated

There is no sound on my iPhone4. Everything is working fine, and suddenly sound goes off, any recomendation will be apreciated.
There is no sliding volume bar (in fact it comes and goes by itself).
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Ziad2000, I have already tried to restore to factory defaults, and the problem continues, let me make a broader explanation of the problem. I acquired my phone almost a year ago, and everything was working just fine, I bought an iPhone dock station and after a few uses of it, the problem started. I do not know if everything is related to this item.

My sound keeps on disappearing

Since downloading the latest version of iTunes, my sound keeps on disappearing intermittently. Has anyone else been experiencing this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem

The toolbar icon symbols have disappeared from apps such as mail and safari - just grey boxes appearing

As mentioned in the header to this question, the toolbar icon symbols have disappeared from apps such as mail and safari and from finder windows - just grey boxes appearing without the sumbols that are usually there. Adobe apps are OK as are some others have deactivated any haxies etc, have repaired permissions reset prarmeter RAM

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

That's only for the iPhone 5. On the 4 and 4S, they can repair the back glass in store for $30. They will not replace the display on a 4 or 4S. They must replace the entire phone. Replacing the display on them requires disassembling the entire phone, which they will not do in store.

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!

My iPhone 4s no longer has sound for any of the applications but it does have sound for phone functions. Where is the setting for app sound? I have gone to the multitask screen and the volume bar is empty.

I recently found my phone outside in light rain (it had been there about 20 minutes). It had some glitches at first, however after letting it rest overnight it seemed to mostly recover. The one problem I am having is that I no longer have sound for any of my applications. I do have sound for phone fuctions, and I am able to use the speaker for phone functions.
When I am in my applications, including music/videos, the only way I can hear is if I use my earbuds. I am able to make a video and it will record sound just fine.
When I go to the multitask screen, the volume bar is empty and I cannot adjust it using the side buttons (even though in settings I have that feature activated). I completely reset all of my settings tonight and that did not make a difference.
Is there a setting I am missing, or am I just SOL? I am trying to avoid having to get a whole new phone but it is very frustrating to not have sound with my applications.

Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

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.
