Today my iphone 5's microphone icon is not working for Notes. Worked yesterday...

I have been using my iPhone 5's app Notes to dictate my inventory and send it to my computer rather than typing in everything... until today. The microphone icon in Notes is gray. I checked Messages and Mail to find that the microphone is operable within those apps. Where do I go from here?

Hi Kaelekulin7,
Dictation is one of my favorites features on the iPhone as well!
If it is working in some apps and not others, I would suggest you:
1) Close the Notes app
2) Reset the iPhone
3) Restart the iPhone
iOS: Force an app to close
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the red dot with the white minus sign to close it.
Double-click the Home button and try opening the app again.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

After installing iOS5 on my iphone 4, the camera icon does not apear every time on the lock screen

On my iPhone 4 with iOS5 the camera icon appears only intermittently on the lock screen.

I also have an iPhone 4 with the newly downloaded iOS 5. I have not been able to get the camera icon on the locked screen to appear at all. I'd love to know how to fix it since this is one of the new features that I'd really like to use.

HT4623 my iphone 1 app store icon is not opening

IPhone is frozen. Screen does not register sliding movements.

Recently my iPhone has not been working. First it is not registering my movements, as in the sliding/pressing of my finger is not working. I tried to restart it by pressing the turn off/on button as well as the home button at the same time and now it is stuck on the sign off screen with the red slider. I cannot get it off this screen and the screen stays on. I tried hooking my iPhone up to my PC to restore it in iTunes but my PC does not register that my iPhone is connected (the icon does not appear), therefore I cannot restore it. I've tried what I can to attempt to get it to work with no avail. There's no way for me to fix the issue that I know of if the phone will not cooperate by itself or with my PC. If anyone has a solution to this problem please let me know, I may just have to go to the Apple Store if not.

Hello there, inhoc478.

How to get the microphone icon on keyboard of my iPhone 4

Hi I have the iPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 with Verizon and I can't find the microphone icon on the keyboard, its missing! Does anyone know how to get it?
Thanks

Usually you would enable Siri, but since you have the 4 you won't have it.
Maybe enable voice control.

HT4515 Just tried to place a call on my new iPhone5S. I can hear the person I'm calling, they cannot hear me. The microphone icon has a line through it, but tapping the icon does not make a difference.

Just tried to place a call with my new iPhone. I can hear the person I'm calling but they cannot hear me. There is a line across the microphone icon, which I took to mean muted but nothing changes when I tap it. What am I doing - or not doing?

is your mute switch turned on (above the volume) ? remove case and screen protecter.
is volume turned up?
if so do this
account security
Please call apple @ 1-800-692-7753 in USA
ask for the account security team
you may want to add a credit card to your iTunes account before calling; so they will have a way to verify your identity.

Why is the status bar purple with a microphone icon?

My status bar at the top is now purple with an microphone icon. Why is this?

This occurs when you pair your iPhone to your in car audio system and start siri. If you look at the purple header carefully you will see the siri style mic logo on the right.
To get rid of the purple bar:
1. Disconnect your iPhone from your car audio
2. Invoke siri
3. Switch siri off again without doing anything and the status bar should go back to normal.

HT3529 Where is the microphone icon?

I have no microphone icon beside the space bar on my new iphone 5. Why is this? Thank!

Siri must be enabled for that to work, and you must make sure it is not blocked via Restrictions as well. After that, power the phone off/on and it should be there.

Is there anyway to disable the chime when I accidentally catch the microphone icon while texting (phone is in silent mode)

Hi all,
I might be being a little dull here, but my question is exacly as in the title: Is there anyway to disable the chime when I accidentally catch the microphone icon while texting (phone is in silent mode)? I have fat fingers occasionally and whilst people at work don't mind private phone usage to have it occasionally activating the mic and then me cancelling it a little annoying.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dave

There is a proximity sensor that should turn the screen off when you place the phone near your face. Do you have a case that's blocking this? Try removing your case. If no case, try restoring you iPhone. If still a problem, return it to Apple for a warranty replacement.

Iphone 4. Microphone fails during calls

Iphone 4. Microphone fails during calls

Yeah -- I'm getting this myself. Did you ever find a solution?
Here's some more information:
Microphone DOES NOT work when:
I make a call via carrier (typical method)
I receive a call via carrier (typical method)
Microphone SOMETIMES works when:
I make a call via carrier (typical method), and then cuts out a few minutes during the call
I receive a call via carrier (typical method), and then cuts out a few minutes during the call
Microphone DOES work when:
Using recording apps (voice memos)
Make calls via data apps like: Skype, MagicJack. I can use these apps to call/communicate with the person on the other end of the call without ANY issues. Microphone does not cut out at all. Works perfectly.
Tried To Solve Using The Following (To no avail):
Plug in / out headphones/mic. This is functioning properly. When I take out headphones/mic, and use the volume toggle, it does not show headphones as being plugged in. Looks typical, and I can hear sound coming out of the speakers.
Tried using the external "speaker" option during calls. This had no effect. The speaker icon highlights, and appears as normal, but they still cannot hear me talking into the mic.
Switching Carriers in Settings > Carriers. I tried hopping onto another carrier (by disabling Auto), then moving back to my own Carrier. Something to note... THe other carrier didn't allow me to fully connect to it. I was not able to make a call on another carrier (I suspect this is normal). I then re-enabled Auto. Nothing helps.
Reboot, Toggle Airplane-mode
Latest Update (5.0.1)
Sync with iTunes
Summary Of Problem:
This is seemingly an issue while making / receiving calls through the carrier., but I've seen this problem a lot in other forums. They've tried different SIM, and carriers, and nothing's helped. I'll try a new SIM card next, though I don't see it as being a coverage thing what-so-ever. My data works, and my mic WORKS --- just not during phone calls.

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

When I boot up my iPhone 4S it shows the Apple icon then goes black for over 30 seconds.

Why does my iPhone 4S, when I turn it on in the morning and it shows the Apple icon, turns complete black for over 30 seconds before I can swipe and log in? This started happening when I upgraded to iOS8

- Have you tried a reset. Nothing is 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.
- Try syncing the iPod to your computer. Then delete from iTunes and sync. that should delete it from the iPod. Then redownload it.
