Why don't I get a ring tone or sound when I receive a call on face time?

On a Mac computer the Facetime ringtone is VERY weak, even with the volume turned up. If you have your audio level adjusted to a normal level you may not hear it. A number of people have complained about it on this Facetime for Mac forum. On my iPad the alert tones when receiving a FT call is much more robust.

  • Why don't I have facetime on my iphone5?  When I bought it I had face time but now it's vanished. I need to know how this could happen, and how to get it back on my phone.

    anyone have the same problems?  I noticed I can't download anything either.  And the app store was missing too but my friend some how downloaded one to my phone.  I have the weirdest things happen to my phones and computers.  I want to know if everyone feels like their personal info, messages,pictures, docs, and email are NOT private.  Am I being paranoid?

    Yes.  You are being paranoid.
    There is no Fcetime icon on any iphone.  You turn it on in settings.  Select a contact and scroll down to the facetime button in order to make a facetime call.
    You cannot delete or add the app store.
    It was likely on another page, in a folder or you have restrictions set.
    Don't know what "can't download anything " means.

    Do you see the Firefox title bar?
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
    *"View > Toolbars"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Why do I get a two tone beeping sound when trying to call my wife's Iphone 5c?  Call does not go through.

    Has anyone ever gotten a two tone beeping sound when trying to call an Iphone on the Verizon network?  The call never connects, just the beeping sound.

  • Why don't i get answers of security question to my email address ??

    Why don't i get answers of security question to my email address ??

    We wouldn't know that. They could be in your Junk email box, or the Rescue email address that you have on your account may not be what you think it is. Just FYI - the Rescue email (where that email would be sent to) is not the same as your Primary Apple ID email.
    If you are not seeing the email at your Rescue email address, contact Apple Support to get them reset:

  • Can't get my ring tones back still

    Why after the new iOS update I still cannot retrieve my ring tone it says that my device was not affected and I went from a 4s to a 6 and I still can't get them back

    So after calling Apple support I was able to get my ring tones back but also found out that ring tones are a one time purchase and when you switch to a new device  your new device will not get your ringtones your will have to bye new ones a way to keep them is to transfer them is to your computer and then transfer them to your phone with the iOS update is if you had ring tones on the device you're using and with the new update it removed them then you can retrieve them back from iTunes.com/restore-tunes
    I'm glad you got them back, and yes it's true that when you purchase ringtones, you need to sync your device with iTunes on your computer.  When you do that, you transfer purchases to your iTunes account, which means you'll NEVER lose ringtones you purchase.
    However, if you don't transfer your purchased tones to iTunes, and you move to a new device, it is true that you will need to re-buy them.  The moral of the story is to always sync your device with iTunes, transferring all purchases to your account and you'll never lose anything you purchase.

  • I can't get my ring tones to sync to my new iPod touch 5.

    I can't get my ring tones to sync to my new iPod touch 5. I see them in my tones folder, I've checked the "sync all" option and I've tried checking the individual tones and then sync. Each time iTunes says it has synced but the ring tones are not in the iPod.

    Me too it has been all week and driving me crazy--- I've done everything I've seen on these websites to no avail--- does apple monitor these posts and offer any help????????

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

    When I press the + and - buttons, the volume icon appears, but the slider is empty. When I receive a call, I hear it ring, and I can hear the ringtones in the sound menu. However, the message/mail notifications don't make any noise, and I can't hear the sound menu.
    - During a phone call, if I put the conversation on speakers ==> it works and the volume bar reappears. I can control the volume with + and - buttons. But when the conversation is over, the bar disappears again.
    - With the headphones, everything is ok!
    - I also noticed (only a few times) that when I do a silent to ringer mode, the volume slider reappears and works correctly during 2 or 3 seconds, before disappearing again.
    I don't know what is problem,because the speakers work.

  • Cant get a ring tone when some one calls or a tone for mymessages

    cant get a ring tone when people call same with my messages and i cant hear callers unless i pt it on speaker

    I just reread your message and at first I thought you wanted to get ringtones. Now I think you meant you don't hear sounds unless you are on speakerphone. I would try a Restart to seeif it learns your issue. To Restart 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.
