Why does my phone call go directly to voice mail when I call my daughter. I can call anyone else and talk to the person I call.
I am using the IPhone 4
Your response is that she has it forwarded to voicemail. It is a Samsung -so she wants to know how she un forwards it,. Or is my phone directly to her voicemail. The 'Finger Tips" says to send a call directly to voicemail push On/Off twice. I did not knowingly do that

Clarifications... when you say "... only some calls..." and "... someone says they called..." - are these all from from one caller?
After following all these fine suggestions and eliminating them systematically, consider that this kind of stuff is as old as the cellphone system. A few possibilities that occur to me just regarding the network system:
you are in a habitually dead spot area. I have one in my own house!
you travel through many of these dead zones (traditionally called 'low-coverage' areas) - remember how big a deal the coverage maps were to us?
there is an issue with your network service provider's back-end system (my first thought - above)
keep plugging away amigo! I'll bet you get this solved.

Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?

Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call. So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of. Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message. Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message.

Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

Slide up from the bottom of your display to access the control panel.
Look for the button (should be at the top) that shows a crescent moon.
Tap that button. It should say "Do not Disturb: Off".
Then try it out and let us know if it worked.

Why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted?

why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted< yes even the trash

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Calls going directly to voice mail

Since this morning I am not receiving calls - in testing the call rings once then goes to voice mail. I called Apple Support and was told to do a Reset, which took care of the problem for about an hour and now it is back.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I use my iPhone for business and this is very disruptive.
I upgraded to 1.1.3 last week - everything has been fine until today!!

People in the past had posted issues with call forward. After they had deactived this feature the calls were still being sent to the forwarding number. Have you used this feature? If so then you need to call AT&T to have it deactivated. If you have not used this feature I would still call AT&T since this appears like an issue one their end. Best of luck.

Why does my phone come up as my email address when texting or calling

When I call or text anyone from my iPhone my email address is displayed not my number. It happens with whoever I'm texting or calling.
Any ideas??

All iPhone apps are digitally signed using the Apple ID they were purchased with. You CANNOT change this. You either enter the password for the original Apple ID, or you delete the App and download a new copy using the new Apple ID. Free apps that do not have lots of in-app content (like your Solitare High Score) are not a problem. Paid apps and free apps with lots of built-up/earned content can be very annoying as you have to re-pay for the app and/or build-up/earn that content again.

HT4009 Why does my phone say your purchase cannot be completed when i try to make an in app purchase after i have already made alot?

i have made in app purchases in my pool games before but now its in bringing up a message saying the purchase could not be completed then i hit ok and it says transaction error cannot connect to itunes store. what do i do?

If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (we are fellow users on here, we won't know why you are getting the message) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Treo 800W: Missing Calls, Going Directly to Voice Mail

I am at wit's end. My Treo 800W will roll directly to voicemail for no reason. I've gone through my settings to ensure the box that blocks interuptions during data sessions is unchecked. I've made my active sync a manual operation. Yet I still miss 5 or 6 calls a day!
Any ideas?
And I'm not alone. There are others all over the Treo forums experiencing the same problem. Check here: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=168727
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

I have sprint as well and have that issue. I always though it was because of the service provider. Please let me know what feed back you get with regards to this.

Why does Mac force boot to the recovery partition even when an external recovery option is selected? This disables the option of reformatting the internal drive because it is in use running the recovery partition.I have yet to find a viable solution.

To make a very tedious story short, My Mac decided that it would crash and not reboot the OS. I decided to bite the bullet and just reformat, sacrificing my very important data. I have tried just about every trick in the book. There is one one major problem I am facing. When I try to reformat the internal HDD using Disk Utility. It fails to unmount. "Make sure that all applications and files are closed on this disk.", Suggesting that the computer is ignoring my command at startup to boot from my external recovery drive, and using the Recovery partition on the problem drive, making it impossible to reformat the drive. When the internal drive is removed and connected by another method it is not recognized.
I failed to read the fine print on the box that suggested I purchase another Mac to fix problems with my primary Mac because any utility with the potential to fix the problem can only be run on a functioning Mac.

Booting to any version of the Recovery system, the built in partition on the internal drive, a recovery partition on an external drive or from the Online internet system will not stop you from formatting the Macintosh HD partition on the internal drive. So your problem is not that you are booting from the internal Recovery HD partition. It is probably your internal hard drive has problems, failing.
You could try booting the system from the Online system. At startup hold down the Option/Alt + Command + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen. That will boot the system from across the internet from the Apple servers completely removing the internal drive as a boot source. If you still can't erase and format or repartition and format the internal drive then your drive has problems and will need to be replaced.

Receiving Calls Problem - going directly to voice mail

My iPhone is set to check for email every 15 minutes. If someone calls at the time iPhone is automatically checking for email, the call goes directly to voice mail.
Worse it doesnt even show up as a missed call.
I understand that Edge is turned off when making a call.
But this happens automatically so I have no control over this feature. I tried calling myself from a landline at the time iPhone was checking for emails and verified this issue.
Does anyone else have the same problem - what is the solution?
Thanks

"That's the way that GSM/EDGE works. The radio can only do one thing at a time. If it's doing data, then the voice call goes right to VM and you don't get notified until the VM gets in."
That is not entirely correct. That is not how GSM/EDGE works. This is how iPhone is designed to work. I have a Nokia N73 and when i am browsing the Web using EDGE (T-Mobile's network), if i get a call, i will be prompted to accept the call. The way that iPhone is designed, it seems to be that Apple values data connectivity more than voice calls. In my opinion, this is probably the wrong way to do it.

I am having multiple problems with my iphone 4s, people can't hear me when I call, text messages don't always send, calls go straight to voice mail. I have all bars, have hard rest 3 times. I have called apple 4 times and gone to a store. No help.

I have had the 3g, 3gs, 4 and little if any problems. I made a major mistake buying the 4s. What a horrible phone. I must say, apple service is at best, BAD. Here are the basics. I am on the same network, I call the same people, I use the same text messages as I did with the 4. With the 4s, I will call someone and they will not be able to hear me. I have to hang up and recall. Or the phone just does nothing when I press call. Text messages acts like they send but when I go back the have been sent. Sometimes the calls go direct to voice mail.
Here's what I have done. Reset, did not help. Called apple, advisor said she would call me back in 5 minutes, after waiting for 5 days for the call, I recalled, they walked me through the same things I had already done, then said to take it to a store. So they set up an appointment for the only day I could get to it, 1 1/2 hours away, on my grand son's birthday. That was okay if they fixed it. So they hard reset it, we had to setup 4 email accounts, they would not allow me to restore because they said it was a software problem. So I had to download all the apps, lost a lot of data. No fun. But if it worked! So Monday back at work, guess what, same thing. When home and did another hard reset. Still no lick. Called apple again. They said they would replace my phone, all they needed was to put a hold on a credit card for $899 or drive a 1 1/2 hours to a store.
So anyone know a good andriod phone.
PS I got a email asking about the service each time and each time I told them what a horrible phone it was and how bad service was. I have yet to hear back. I guess they do not read them!

You're not speaking to Apple on in this forum, nor will someone from Apple see this post. We are just users like you and I.
Have you tried to restore or reset your phone?
Or contact your carrier in re: to your sim card

Why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time

why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time? Is there anyway I can change this?

You mean that you're on a single call for 4 hours continously, and then it disconnects?
If so, contact your wireless carrier. That's a cellular connection issue.

Why does my phone direct me to the william hill app when browsing safari?

why does my phone direct me to the william hill app when browsing safari?

It's an advert from a (dodgy) website. Some advertisers use these rather unscrupulous ads.
All you can do to avoid such obtrusive advertising is to stop using the websites that do it. Maybe then they'll learn not to be so blatant.

My phone is dropping calls, doesn't ring all the time-goes directly to voice mail, do no recieve alert on when a text is recieved

1-My phone does not ring all the time upon recieving an incoming call, it goes directly to voice mail.
2- Not recieving alert tone upon recieving a text message.
3- Dropping calls also

We have the same problem widespread in our company with iPhone 4's and 5's:
- Fails to establish the call, dials but nothing happens
- Drops the call for no reason even though signal strength is good
- Recevie text alerts to notify of voicemail when the handset has not rung nor does it show missed calls
We migrated someone to a Samsung Galaxy S4 for a month and all these issues went away. Nothing to do with alert tones turned down or faulty silent switches.

HT5192 why does my phone tell me that after trying to update my software to ios 5.1 that an error has occured

why does my phone tell me that when after updating ios 5.1 that an error has ocurred,ive tried 3 times and im still getting the same message?

Call Apple in the morning.
Possibility could have been you had caps lock on entering your security answer either now or when you set it up from the beginning.
Apple will help you out and you will be in good shape.
If you are not into phone calls then try to make an appointment at your local Apple store and they can fix it for you in no time.
