Why does my iPhone4 not receive any announcements/rings/etc?
My iPhone4 was working perfectly last week then all of a sudden it began not ringing and all incoming text/emails sounds just stopped.
Last evening I did a reset (held down the sleep and Home buttons until the Apple icon appeared). This did not help.
This morning, it would not start up. So, I repeated the Reset but held the sleep/Home buttons down longer and it finally came to life. But still, no sound.
In Settings, all of the sounds are audible for phone ringer, incoming text, incoming email and so on. But none of these work during the actuall event.
I have cleaned the head-set jack and this does not work. However, I can hear music using the head-set just fine.
The only notice that I have an incoming call is vibrate.
For the sake of clarity -
In Settings:
Airplane Mode - OFF
Wi-Fi - OFF
Settings/ Sounds
Silent/Vibrate - ON
Ringer and Alerts
Volume is maxxed out on slider
Change with Buttons - OFF (I have found that the side buttons work regardless of this setting)
Vibrate (below Ringer and Alerts) - ON
Ringtone - All sounds work when tested
Text Tone - All sounds work when tested
New Voicemail - Ditto
Lock Sounds - ON
Keyboard Clicks - ON
Battery charge - 100%
I think I have tried just about everything there is to try, but I may have missed something.
Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Phillip Anthony

Why does my Imessage not receive or send messages
When someone else messages me on Imessage i do not receive the message although on their Ipod it says delivered, and i also cannot send a message.
Helloooooo ?

I can't do anything without fear that it will ask for me to restart or simply crash. I dont know what's wrong. Update load then say there is an error right before finishing, but it does this with most things. Every internet browser I have tried gives me the "(insert browser name) had crashed" and then asks for me to send a useless report to apple. Its only a year and a half old and this started about 10 months into me buying it, i tried to just ignore it but i've lost important things.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

Why does the iphone4 not hold a fully charged battery overnight?
I charged up the iphone4 to 100% last night; left the phone powered "on" overnight - I have done this every night for the past two weeks. But, this morning, the iphone4 showed a very low, almost dead battery picture with a thin red line at the end of the battery. What would cause the fully charged phone to lose all charge overnight, in less than 10 hours?
Two possibilities:
1. The charge level indicator needs recalibrating - discharge the battery completely, then charge it fully
2. Something is running and using power. Restart the phone (Home and Sleep pressed until the Apple logo appears)
There might be a fault with the battery, but these two are more likely -
My iphone 4 will no longer register my wall charger while on.. It WILL charge if turned off.. OR, if I plug it in to my laptop while on. Tried any different cords and plugs, all the same result.. REALLY REALLY frustrating!!
- While charging try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: 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 try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod. -
Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?
Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?
"Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
"is in the works?"
This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:

Why does the Iphone4 freeze up after downloading the IOS7.6 patch showing an ITUNE icon? The phone will not change screens for 4 hours.
I Turn it off/on and nothing changes.Hello bigboza,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
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 aboutrestoring iOS software.
Have a nice day,

I cannot record anything on iPod shuffle. Why? I do not recognise any of the windows shown in the various manuals about shuffle. Why? Currently an Orange light is blinking on the shuffle, and has been doing so for hours. Why?
I finally stumbled across a fix for this problem, and in case someone else is frustrated at some point by a similar issue I'm posting what finally worked to enable me to bring iTunes up at any time (without rebooting first).
The solution was to go to the preferences to uncheck "search for shared libraries".
I'm glad the problem is fixed, but Apple developers really should include a timeout function on iTunes search for a shared libraries. At least a visual dialog to confirm that the application is in the process of searching for a shared library on the network would help provide clues as to what is causing the spinning beach ball to appear right about the time the application window should pop up. -

I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?
Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.
