Volume of microphone button inaudible when pressed when overall volume on high and all other sounds/ringer/alert volume working fine! Is there a way to fix this? Was working fine yesterday.

Hello, the volume of my microphone button in text messages is inaudible when pressed, even when my overall volume is on high and all other sounds/ringer/alerts volume are working fine! Is there a way to fix this? Was working fine yesterday. I've tried rebooting and turning Siri on and off, and can't think of what else to do. All googling results in posts about the mic not recording sound loud enough or not working. My mic works just fine; it does the job of recording, but I want the chime to be loud so I don't have to look at the screen to know when I can speak; I like to hear the chime to alert me. Any help is appreciated!
iPhone 4s, iOS 6

I agree with you about the volume on the phone itself. (I have 3Gs). It needs to be louder. I also wear hearing aids. However I do think there may be something wrong with your phone because when I connect my earbuds (Klipsh) I get very good volume through them. In fact at full volume it's way too loud. I would push for a replacement phone.
FWIW, my daughter (who also wears hearing aids) has trouble hearing her iphone. It appears to have more to do with the speaker not being lined up with the hearing aid's input. Her audiologist pointed out that some current hearing aids support bluetooth, I think we will get those next time we replace her hearing aids.

    Are you using her Apple ID and email on your iPad? The Message app uses your Apple ID as the contact at which you can be reached.

  • When i try to download Firefox it gives me the phone UI not the tablet UI is there any way to fix this?

    When I launch Firefox it uses the phone UI not the tablet UI

    There is a bug in Firefox 9 that causes it to use the non-tablet UI on tablets running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). This is fixed in Firefox 10: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708772
    You can download a Firefox 10 pre-release version from the [https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta beta channel] today. The final version will be published to the release channel next week.

    I just bought my wife an iPad Mini.  I would like to be able to keep the two iPads from talking to each other (iCloud).  Do I need to establish another Apple ID for her iPad?
    I still want her to be able to link to iTunes, where we both have our music.
    What is the best way to do this?
    Every iCloud and iMessage account is tied to an AppleID, so just use separate AppleIDs for those services and you each will have your own, private accounts for those services.  You can both use a shared AppleID for purchased content from the iTunes and App stores if you wish.

  • HT201382 Our family all bought each other gift cards for Christmas and set up our iPads to family sharing.  When any family member makes a purchase, it will only be charged to the credit card and NEVER the gift card amount! WHY? Is there a way to fix this

    We just set up family sharing on our iPads and we all have$50 of iTunes cards that have been placed on our accounts.  Why can no one in the family redeem the money from their itunes cards... Instead being charge ONLY to the "organizers" credit card? This is driving us crazy? Now all our Christmas present have gone to waste? Can anyone help?

    Hello there ssyer,
    Family Sharing purchases do all go to the Organizers credit card by default, that is unless there is an existing credit or balance on the account requesting the purchase according to this article:
    Family purchases and payments
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.
    Balances can be verified with this article if you need:
    iTunes Gift balances
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    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.

    - Have you tried resetting the Ipod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.-
    - Next connect it to your computer.  If iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPod,  First restore from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - If iTunes does not see the iPod first try placing the iPod in recovery mode.  If not seen try placing it in DFU mode:

  • Every time when Firefox is minimized and I tab into it I can't use it. It's completely locked. Is there a way to fix this?

    Every time when Firefox is minimized to the tray and I open it up again i can't use it until I click on a tab that's not focused or on the search field with the mouse. It's completely locked, I can't press ctrl+1/2/3 etc to change tab or ctrl+e to go to search. Last time everything worked like it should was on release 3.5.14
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Edit: I've tried reinstalling Firefox and gotten a new profile, that didn't help.
    Edit2: Updated to 3.6.9 and I still have the problem.
    Edit3: Just installed 3.6.11, the problem is still there.
    I can't understand how 3.5.14 can work and not a singel release after that.
    Opera here I come, soon...

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    If still problem that indicates you have a bad headphone jack.

  • When i duplicate an object, it moves it far away from where my original object is as soon as i move it. is there any way to fix this?

    when i duplicate an object in numbers, it moves it far away from where my original object is as soon as i move it. is there any way to fix this? thanks

    Hi Rick,
    Your initial duplicate should be offset by one grid unit to the right and below the location of the original. If you move that duplicate by dragging it, without first de-selecting it, then reselecting it, the place you put it will determine the offset for subsequent duplicates (from the same original or from the copy).
    Example:
    Initial object and first duplicate:
    Pressing shift-up arrow would move the duplicate up to align with the top of the original. Pressing shift-left arrow would then place the duplicate directly in front of the original.
    Without being deselected, the duplicate was dragged to the position shown:
    Command-D was then pressed to duplicate the first copy:
    The duplicate appeared in this position
    Regards,
    Barry

  • I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then.  Is there a way to fix this?

    I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen.  Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

    Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
    When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
    I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
    If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
    I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
    This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
    The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

  • There is a delay when I hit the spacebar, and it only happens in Firefox. Is there a way to fix this?

    When I type anything in Firefox like an e-mail, spaces do not register immediately when I hit the spacebar, and it slows down my typing tremendously. I just installed Firefox today, and I had never had this problem before. I tested it in both my word processing program and in Internet Explorer, and there was no delay in either program, so I know it has to be a glitch with the FF program. Is there a way to fix this?
    Also, sometimes when I would tap the mousepad to click a link, the screen would just scroll/jump to the bottom of that page instead of going to the next page. It did this on every attempt to click the link (I was reading a message in e-mail and was trying to go to my inbox, but it wouldn't let me).

    Okay, I found the solution. I simply restarted my computer, and the problem has gone away...so far.
