Turn off Iphone 4 ringer when headphones are in.

When speakers or headphones are plugged into the jack, the ringer still rings through. I have seen a couple of posts on turning the ringer off, but they seem to only be work-arounds such as forwarding the phone. Is it actually possible to turn the ringer off while something is plugged into the jack? If so, how do I do this?

The only way to do this would be to flip the mute switch on the side to silent. This is by design. So you don't miss a call if you take the headphones off for a moment or two.

Turn off "find my ipod" when you are locked out.

How do I turn off "find my ipod" when I am locked out of my ipod and I want to reset and then backup?

There is no way to backup the iPod
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

IPhone iPod autoplays when headphones are inserted

Everytime I insert headphones into my new iPhone 3G, the iPod automatically begins to play. This is very annoying, because I'm not always interested in listening to the iPod, like when I'm trying to listen to Pandora or play a game. When I pause the song in the iPod app, it automatically plays again a few seconds later.
Any suggestions?

Yeah is this a "feature" of the new iPhones that it plays music automatically when you put in the headphones? I find it pretty annoying.
Also, I am confused about how to shuffle music on the iPhone, it seems to always play the same order of songs "randomly" or else it plays them alphabetically by song name, depending on if I hit "Shuffle" at the top. Any ideas?

Ringing when headphones are in.

Hey everyone,
Sorry to sound like a total n00b. Here's a question for you all. I am using my standard iPhone earphones that I got with the phone. I noticed the other day that when I get a call, the ringtone plays through the earphones and out from the speakers at the same time.
I've never noticed this before. Does the phone always do this? or is it something wrong with my phone?

That's perfect normal - it assures that you'll hear the ringtone while wearing your earphones as well as having your iPhone left somewhere with the earphones still plugged in.

IPhone 4 soundis very low when headphones are used

my iPhone volume is extremely low when i plug headphones in when listening to Netflix, Pandora, etc. When i unplug the headphones, the volume is normal when coming from the speakers in the phone- this only happens when we use headphones. We took the phone to the Apple store yesterday and they completely replaced the phone with a new one- and the new one is doing the same thing- you can barely hear anything when headphones are used.. all our sounds are turned all the way up- if there a way to configure the sound settings in iTunes for your iPhone???

This sounds silly but did you remove the plastic tabs covering each ear plug?
If so then read here : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Good Luck

HT201401 Why does my iPhone 3G keep turning off by itself even when it's not dead?

My dad had his iPhone 3G and gave it to me when he had an upgrade. He never had the issue of it turning off by itself, but when he gave it to me, all of a sudden it decided to turn off by itself even when it was on like 80% still.
I took it in to the Apple Store near me and they said that I had too much "stuff" on it, mostly music.
So, I completely redid my phone. I reset it completely so that it looked like a completely new iPhone. And then downloaded only 12 apps and 195 songs. And, only about 50 pictures. (This is an 8 gig by the way)
Right now, there's less than 4 gigs on there so far meaning I still have more than half of my phone to fill. They guy at the store said it needs 2 gigs to run.
SO, it should have started working since theres way less stuff on there now, and more than enough space to run. Why does it keep turning off still though?
It's so annoying and inconvenient. If anyone could help it would be SO appreciated.
THANKS!!

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as a new device. Go through each step in succession until your issue is resolved.

You are not talking to Apple on here, we are all fellow users and not Apple employees. You can comment to Apple by giving feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback

Should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

It's up to the cellular carrier, but I believe most (if not all) will enqueue the messages when your iPhone is off.
So generally speaking, a few minutes after you turn your iPhone on, your messages should display. Similarly, your voicemails would arrive.

IPod nano 6th gen (brand new) doesn't recognize when headphones are plugged in

I have a brand new iPod nano (6th gen), and it doesn't detect when headphones are plugged in. I have read that the problem can ocurr because the headphones are not correctly inserted (which is not the case.. i'm absolutely sure about this) or that the headphone jack has dust inside (which is also not the case, since it is brand new).
This is what happens:
When i play a song, and then press the sleep/wake button to turn off the display, the music stops. Or if i let the music play, it stops when the screen times out and turns off. These two things occur because the ipod "thinks" that there are no headphones inserted.
When i try to activate the FM radio, the radio won't start because it says that there is no radio signal (which occurs when no headphones are connected).
Needless to say, the microphone and volume controls of the iphone headset, don´t work at all (they even work on the ipod shuffle!).. and because of this, no voice recording for me!
It's a shame, because the FM radio is completely useless, and music playing only works by activating the "double click to play" option in the settings menu.. but it is somewhat cumbersome the process of "play music - turn off the screen - double click to resume playing" every time I select a song.
The headphone detection has only worked randomly when the ipod is connected to the computer, but i haven't been able to figure out under what conditions this occurs. I have read about this issue, and I only would like to know if this is a firmware bug of the 1.2 version. I tried unsuccesfully to downgrade the firmware to the 1.1 version (maybe because the ipod shipped with the 1.2 version).
I have also restored the device in itunes, with no luck.....
Thanks in advance for any useful answer!

Thanks for your answer...
The headphones that i'm using, are the ones that were included with the iphone 4 (so, they are original).. however this shouldn't be a problem, as the ipod should work fine with whatever headphones i choose to use (sound quality will vary, of course).
The ipod does the same with the headphones that were included in the box, and with every pair of headphones i have used to test, so i'm certain that the ipod has an issue.
I hope that the picture is clear enough.. here you can see that the headphones are fully inserted, and the ipod is not recognizing them.

Turning off (somehow) the ringing of FaceTime on mac OS X during Handoff calls

hi
Handoff is great. Love it.
But I need to be able to turn off FaceTime's ring on the mac during the Handoff.
What I want to avoid is the ringing of incoming FaceTime calls when I am not at my mac, and I am answering the incoming FaceTime call on my iPhone during that time.
Is the FaceTime incoming ring actually a Notification and can turn off Notification sound of FaceTime?
or can the ring be stopped maybe by stopping rings if the mac is on screensaver?
there must be a way...
thanks

hi
thanks.
but it seems more difficult. as per below review of handoff in yosemite included the following info about doing just that:
The FaceTime app will let you choose a ringtone for phone calls, but only from the stock collection of iOS sounds. (I even added ringtones to iTunes on my Mac, but it didn’t see them, and even if you find where the ringtone files are stored you can’t add new ones.) Ringtone selections were played on my MacBook’s internal speaker, even though the rest of the Mac was playing through an external audio device.

Pre Turns Off or Shuts Down when I close the keyboard

Is my pre screwed or is it OS?
It shuts off, not the version that other people have had where you have to pop the battery (the power button still works to turn it back on) out to get it to restart. Anyway, it shuts off when I slide it closed. I thought maybe something loose so I did it very slowly, not allowing it to even go all the way, the minute that the sensor tripped it back into "no keyboard" mode it turns off.
It's especially bad when on bluetooth...happens every single time.
Is there a solution for this. Please palm, a lot of people are having this problem and there is no answer yet?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Palm is on deathwatch. The Pre could have really kept them afloat, but there are too many problems with it. When I first got my Pre in June, it was awesome! Everything worked great. But now, I am always having problems with it. Here is the list:
1. Pre turns off or shuts down when I close the keyboard. (I had to make this one the first on the list since it is the topic.)
2. Pre turn off or shuts down for no apparent reason and the only solution is to remove the battery, wait a second, put the battery back in, then turn it back on. This takes forever. Plus, because I have removed the back so often, my Pre squeaks when I am typing (from the plastic). It is very annoying.
3. The navigation system has a glitch where most of the time, it cannot find my current location. The message says to make sure I am in clear view of the sky, but i always am. There are many posts about this problem in other sections. There are some solutions, and the often work, but it takes 5 minutes to reset the system. It is a beating.
4. The navigation system voice is usually very clear, but sometimes, the voice will skip over the names of streets as she is calling out the directions. Ex. "Turn right on ________ Drive."
5. Sometimes the keyboard will stop working. I have to remove/replace the battery. Again, this is time-consuming and further contributes to the squeaking problem when typing because you have removed the back so many times.
I like Sprint because I can get unlimited data, txt, and mobile-to-mobile calling for $70/mo. So, I hope that someone comes out with a great touch-screen phone (not the BB Storm), because I want to stick with Sprint. If you go with an iphone, you have to get AT&T, which will cost you at least $100 for the same. That is a $360/yr difference! I am sticking with Sprint.

Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can not figure out why there is NO sound when I get a text?

Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can't not figure out why it does not make a sound, when I receive a text or typing???

Deborah,
The solutions on here did not work for me.   I tried.....
I have the same problem with a BRAND NEW iPhone 5c version 7.1- no sound when a text message arrives.
(1) I have "do not disturb" scheduled correctly.   No partial moon on the main screen near the time and battery indicator.
(2) I have the ringer icon correct with no slash.    Yes I turned the hardward mute switch to the UP position (ie the one above the + and - buttons on the left side.   I tried messaging with the bell as shown and bell with a slash and neither work.   The mute switch is not red (switch above the + volume hardware switch)     I enabled some assistant using the Settings menu.    And I press the dot (looks like a target symbol) and go to Devices and I can see what position the bell is in....either a bell with a slash or no slash.
(3) Yes ringtones are configured for text and other. I can hear them when I am under settings > sounds.   But they do not link with the actual hardware.
(4) I rebooted the iPhone 5c by using the button at top, slide the red bar, then pressed it again, apple came up for a minute and it seemed to be back up.
(5) I upgraded the IPhone 5c from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using my pc and itunes.   And the upgrade was successful but did not fix the text issue.
(6) I do not have it in airplane mode or silent mode.
(7) I reset all settings using Setttings > General > reset > reset all settings . this wipes settings but not data and media.
This is really frustrating.

How to turn off tone that sounds when importing is done?

Hello,
Is it possible to stop iTunes from making the sound it does after I've imported a cd?
I have Windows XP media center, and I went to the "Sounds and Audio Devices" folder in Control Panel, but it seems only Microsoft programs are listed there.
Thanks!
Dan

According to Apple support, you cannot remove the phone on the device list under "find my iphone" until you turn it off and it goes offline. (It also says the device will go back on "find my iphone" when it goes online again, which seems to mean you can successfully remove it, but as soon as you turn it back on it will be back on the list, and thus you will not be able to restore it.) It's a bit of a conundrum. In my case I couldn't for some reason turn off my phone with the home/sleep buttons - nothing happens, the phone stays on. While on a chat with Apple support, they got my iphone offline (I was able to turn it off by pressing the sleep button and swiping where the red "turn off iphone" arrow would have appeared) and removed it from "find my phone", but when I reconnected to itunes it turned on and reappeared in the "find my phone" list. Luckily, the screen suddenly appeared (it had done this several times yesterday, just briefly), so I was able to turn off "find my device" from the phone. I was then able to restore. Unfortunately, this does not answer the question of how to remove the device from "find my iphone" and keep it off while connecting with itunes to restore (unless you have my good fortune of having the screen suddently reappear). Apple support seemed puzzled that it had reappeared on the device list under "find my iphone". Time will tell whether the restoration fixes the blank screen issue.
