Why does my iPhone 4S not have sound after iOS 6 update?
After I downloaded iOS 6 I restarted my phone and when it came back on now sounds would play. I have restarted phone multiple time sound will not play and sound bar will not display anywhere.
I have an iPhone and an iPad Mini, but I only had the problem on the iPad Mini but this fix may work for you.
This is what I posted in another thread:
I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE FIX FOR THIS! ... (Well it worked for me on my iPad Mini.)
I saw a post from an apple rep telling a iOS 6 user to turn the side switch on to un-mute the sounds. A no-brainier yes, but it made me wonder if the side switch may have been temporarily "confused" after updating to iOS 7 because it added the new settings screen that swipes up from the bottom of the screen. I was using my side-switch to lock the screen rotation and it was in the "off" (down) position (red visible) and none of my notifications were sounding. So I flipped it up and down a couple times which didn't solve the problem. So logically, I proceeded to what inevitably solved the problem...
Go to Settings > General / "Use Side Switch To" and select the opposite of what you are currently using. I had mine on Lock Rotation, so I selected Mute. Then flip your switch up and down slowly a couple of times to see that the confirmation on the screen is correct. You may have to go back to settings again and select the other choice if you originally had Mute selected, I don't know because I originally had Lock Rotation in use.
Hopefully, this will fix your notification sounds (and the lock sound when you press the power button). After using this fix, you can set the use of the side switch to your preference and still have all of your notification sounds!

Why does the iphone 5 not sync the correct artwork to songs.
Why does the iphone 5 not sync the correct artwork to songs. All the artwork is correct in the itunes 11 library, but when sync'd the iphone arbittary chooses what it wants
My guess is you are using iTunes Match.
iTunes Match is a great feature, but I suggest keeping it on only on your computer. Turn iTunes Match off on your iPhone at Settings > Music > iTunes Match. Then sync your iPhone and you should get all the artwork. You may have to sync two or three times to get it all after turning off iTunes Match. -
Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?
I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Re: Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?
Nov 18, 2012 11:34 AM (in response to Katrina UK)
Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter. -
why does my iphone 5s not displaying apps on my jvc car stereo. these apps worked with my iphone 4s?
Blackberries were designed at a time when cellular data was very expensive. They don't do nearly as much as an iPhone, in part, to conserve data use. All modern smartphones will use more data than a Blackberry unless you do almost nothing.
You do not need to quite apps. Almost no apps run in the background.
Here are Apple's tips on iPhone battery use:

If you are really only getting an hour of battery usage and not just engaging in hyperbole (), you should make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store. -

There are still some stock being sold with iOS 4 installed, but they should be getting rarer - if you don't have iOS 5 (and therefore the iCloud) then you can update to it for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem. Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source. Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all. In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
Is there any help for this affliction? -
why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call
hi smalley3,
Welcome to the Forums.
The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).
Support phone list

Why does my ipad mini not have any sound?
My ipad mini does not have sound in any of my apps (mostly games). Sound is on in settings, and sound is turned on in each app. It is a first generation mini, not a retina display. Thanks for any suggestions.
First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode. -

Why does the new Iphone 5 not have the show my caller ID?
Hey, thanks for the response!
I'm positive I was using the Netflix app on the iPhone and ps3, when it stopped working I tried looking it up, and ran into these website: http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/25/netflix-ios-android-ps3-second-screen-remote- control/
http://m.tuaw.com/2012/09/26/netflix-for-ios-has-second-screen-remote-control-fo r-ps3/
I read the two apps are able to connect because they are under the same wi-fi connection, but I haven't changed wireless modems, or any settings on the iPhone and ps3! -
HT1476 why does my iphone turn it'self on after charging?
Why does my iphone 4 turn itself back on after/while charging?
You are right, Apple uses this "help" board to allow other users to help and yes it does avoid hiring more paid employees because every question answered here doesn't need to be answered by a phone person. But, not every question can be answered by other users or not every question is seen by the one person who does know the answer. When that happens, you still have the option to call Apple support at 1-800-275-2273 or you can go to https://expresslane.apple.com and speak directly with Apple.
