Volume and ringer recently stopped working..why?

Voulme and ringer recently stopped working on my iPhone4...why?

Mine acts a bit different. When a call comes in it makes a little very short ring and the volume goes to zero. The button won't turn it up but I can go into settings and turn it back up. When the next call comes it does the same thing. This started last week and up til then everything worked fine.

Volume and Lock buttons stopped working after new iOS 4.3.3 update (ipod 4th gen)

After I updated my ipod with the iOS 4.3, the volume and lock buttons stopped working.
This has happened before and it'sprobably one of the most annoying problems ever.
The lock button tends to stop working but then works again only when it wants to, but the volume buttons dont work at all.
When the locked button worked again I turned it off and turned it on again, but it didnt fix the problem.
I've pretty much tried everything that I've read and nothing seems to work.
So now, I don't know what to do.
Should I take it to a random apple store or to where I bought it from?
It seems that it's happening to almost everyone, so at least I'm not the only one and maybe someone can help me out

If you have restored in iTunes on a computer and the problem remains then it's a hardware fault and it needs to be repaired. When you update the iOS version on an iOS device it checks the hardware components, this is when it'll detect un-diagnosed hardware faults and the components will stop working... even if they were working previously

My FaceTime has also recently stopped working on both my Mac Book Pro and IPhone 4S

My FaceTime has recently stopped working. I usually talk to my daughter but hadn't used it for a few weeks. I have tried to connect to my daughter in the last couple of days but without success. It rings and tries to connect but fails both on my Mac Book Pro and iPhone 4S. My daughter is able to connect to her friends but she cannot get through to me or I to her. Can anybody help?

Yeah, I don't think that's necessarily all the issues here (re: iOS update). I have 7 devices that have stopped functioning within the last week and all of my devices have the latest iOS on them. I came to the forums to see what's available for help, but I'm guessing I'll need a trip to the local Genius Bar.

Iphoto has recently stopped working; it continually shows the loading circle. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it, updated it

Iphoto has recently stopped working; it continually shows the loading circle. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it,updated it and reinstalled all my apps with the ‘applications install DVD’ however it still does not work. I have also tried holding the command and option key while pressing iphoto then when the pop up appears i press the checkboxes that have been suggested by other users however nothing happens. Any other suggestions would be great!

Ok the program itself is likely fine, it's the files it depends on that are not.
Step #1
1: Open your Users/Library/Preferences folder (if on Lion you need to use the Go in Finder)
2: Scroll down until you see a file called
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
3: Trash it and reboot, start iPhoto and see if it works.
Step #2
1: Go to your Users/Pictures/iPhoto Library and right (or hold option) click on it and "show package contents"
2: Inside will be a folder with your originals, copy them out.
3: Move and rename the iPhotoLibrary file outside of the Pictures folder.
4: Reboot and restart iPhoto, check inside the Pictures folder if iPhotoLibrary was created.
5: Download ClamXav and run a scan on the Original photo's and your whole machine too while your at it.
(it's if there is a picture in there from Windows it could contain a corruption caused by malware)
6: Reimport the originals back into iPhoto.
See if those two steps resolve your issue, if not I could suspect next a network issue? Like iPhoto is trying to contact the internet and can't or gets hung?
You can can create another user, use the Shared Drop box to transfer files and log into the other user and see if it's a issue with just your User account, and if so you might just want to transisition over and then one day delete the old user and it's problems.

HT1695 My Iphone5 has recently stopped working on wi-fi at home and bluetooth in the car. I am able to connect several other devices to my wi-fi at home and my Iphone will connect to other wi-fi alternatively to my home.

Hi
My Iphone 5 has recently stopped working on my home wi-fi and my car bluetooth. The phone will connect to other wi-fi devices but nothing on the bluetooth at all. Other devices are able to connect to the home wi-fi.
I have reset network settings and reset all settings. Still it wont connect to the home wi-fi or my car.
I have since taken my car in for it to be checked by the garage and am having the same problems in my courtesy car.
Short of throwing the phone out of the window any suggestions how I can fix it?
I'm thinking it'll have to be a factory restore

Why did the Notification Center and Control Center stop working?

After updating ios 8, Notification and Control Centers stop working from time to time. I can't swipe up or down. I have to use the Assistive Touch to bring them on screen. Restarting the iPhone make them usable again. But afyet a while, it happened again.
Now, iOS 8.1.2. Last update, the Centers used to appear again. But 8.1.2, they just stopped working.
How how can I fix it?

Hello Eric Grylls,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
If you're not able to access Notification Center or Control Center (other than using Assistive Touch) on your iPhone 5s since the latest update, I recommend following these troubleshooting steps mentioned in this article:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
All the best,
Jeremy

When you buy an iPhone in the U.S. it's locked to that country with the carrier you bought it for.
If you bought the device unlocked in the U.S. it's unlocked, you can use it on any carrier. Even one's outside the country.
If you want to do a repair on a device you bought in the U.S. and your using it in another country, you must send it back to the U.S. Why? That's where you bought it from.
AppleCare Protection Plans and AppleCare Limited Warranties are registered to your hardware.
Your hardware is your iPhone.
Wherever hardware that was bought then that's the country it was designed to be used in and that's where it was manufactured.
Apple is very localized - if you call U.S. tech support, you'll speak to somone in your country.
So, what does all this mean?
In order to do a repair, you need to send it back to the country you got it from.
And we're all customers like you. We understand that you're upset, but Apple isn't gonna bend the rules to one individual.
Policy is policy. Get over it.

How do you get your Excel Solver back? I have already tried going into add-ins. It only recently stopped working.

It boggles the mind. The Verizon store on L Street downtown Washington, D.C. cannot access my Verizon account. They can only sell cellphones then it's up to me to contact Verizon on my own to get the hook up. I even asked "Are you Verizon employes? Is this a vendor store or is it really a Verizon owned and operated store?" The answer "Yes, we are Verizon employes, yes this is a Verizon owned and operated store" ...
Yes, it indeed boggles the mind. I'm of course referring to the fact that your post concerns Verizon Wireless products and services. This forum is dedicated exclusively to Verizon Communications services. As you probably know, Verizon Wireless and Verizon Communications operate as separate companies.
If you need help for a Verizon wireless product or service, it's best to direct questions to the Verizon Wireless forums. You can reach them by clicking on "Wireless" (either here or at the top of the page).
Good luck and I sincerely hope you get your issue resolved.

Update to 10.6.8 and HP F2100 and D2400 Printers stopped working. Restored 10.6.7 and printers from Install CD's but not working, Same with scanner

Help....
Updated to 10.6.8 and HP F2100 and D2400 Printers stopped working.
Restored 10.6.7 and printers from Install CD's but not working.
Same with F2100 scanner
Am I glad I kept Windows desktop as without it I would be scre**ed now
What is going on with this latest update as its like a return to Windows with things crashing or hanging up every few minutes????
On a MacBook Air that has not been updated everything still works so what has 10.6.8 done and why won't the restore to 10.6.7 work?
Steve

None of those things you mentioned were what I suggested.
I'm guessing the "ctrl click in printer preferences" means you Reset the Printing System?
If so, that is what I would have suggested if deleting it by selecting the ( - ) button and then adding it with the ( + ) button.
But, if HP has a fix, it likely needs to update its drivers.

I updated my ipad and the sound stopped working.

I updated my ipad to IOS 8.1.and the sound stopped working. My sidebar buttons say soundeffects or soundeffects mute when I press them. On my control panel there is no sound bar. As you can see in this screenshot it is not showing a sound bar to adjust volume. HELP?!

Update: Last night, I cleaned my headphone port & docking port. Reset Network Settings & General Reset all settings & reset ipad. Didn't work immediately & had some setbacks. I decided to wait to do the restore factory default for the next day, this morning. I decided to test the sound before proceeding. My sound is working correctly now & didn't need to resort to the restore factory default. All of the above worked but perhaps needed over night to really dry the rubbing alcohol used to clean the ports.?
sound is working. Thanks so much for your help Diavonex!

My return and shift key stopping working

my return and shift key stopping working. It wont go to the next line or function as an enter.
Now, most of the time it wont do anything but if you push it several times it will type a 0p or /- or control volume the instead. I checked the keyboard setting and voicecontrol and reset it to default and updated software for system but no resolve. How do I fix this?

Hi -- I have this problem too. I cleaned out the keyboard, did an SMC reset, a PRAM reset, and also followed the steps I could follow from this article, linked to in the answer to another question:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
no luck with any of it. Could we please have some advice targetted at the specific problem of nonfunctional shift and return keys on a MacBook Air?
In the meantime I'm using only the left-side shift and have downloaded and installed KeyRemap4MacBook and remapped my backslash key so it issues the "return" command. A clunky work around but it seems to do the trick, at least.

I can't make or take phone calls, but i can message and use data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, two of which have this problem and one just stopped working all together.

My phone doesn't have any cellular phone functions...but it CAN send text messages and access data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, the last two have this problem and the first stopped working all together. I've had new sim cards put in, ive done hard resets on the phone, i've rebooted the phone, done battery pulls, and tech support has reset the signal to my phone. Nothing has worked. (I just "upgraded" <- lol.... and my old phone IS turned off.)

Im in 79707. So to recap my whole case: I upgraded my device using the verizon wireless website. I received my phone and switched my old SIM card from my Droid Razr Maxx HD into the new Galaxy S5. Everything worked fine until the next morning (May 31st) when I woke up and the phone wouldn't turn on. I took the phone to the local Verizon store and they were also unable to turn it on. They issued me a new Galaxy S5 (referred to as phone 2) and switched my SIM card into that one.
With PHONE 2 i was able to make calls and receive calls, along with text and data for approximately four hours. After that, i was unable to use the phone function of the device, but text and data were still functioning. I took PHONE 2 back to the Verizon store where they attempted to hard reset the phone twice, they also installed two new SIM cards at the store. After this they would get the same error, which is the phone just reading "Dialing..." after attempting to make a call. The Verizon associate declared the phone "DOA" and issued me another Galaxy S5 (referred to as PHONE 3).
PHONE 3 worked well, with phone text and data featured intact from when I received it on the after noon of the 31st until approximately 2:30PM on June 1st. I contacted Verizon Tech Support via Gmail phone to attempt the correct the problem. They reset the connection, had me do a battery pull, had me close the "phone" application, and erase the data and catche, then restart the phone. All of which had no effect. My phone is still able to receive texts and use data (even with wifi off) it simply cannot make or take phone calls. all it says is "dialing..." when I attempt to make a call. When other phones call my device it rings once on their end and directs them to voicemail, PHONE 3 does not ring on my end.
I have made sure my old phone is completely powered down.
