Why doesnt the Iphone come standard with a missed text, email or call alert

Why doesnot the Ipone come standard with a missed text, email or call alert, after all it is suppose to be a smart phone

The only visual aid the iPhone has for missed calls, text, email, etc. is the Notification center. After opening notification center, you chose each of the desired areas, i.e. phone calls, mail, etc. and select your notification. This can be badges, etc. If you miss a call, it will display a notice on the screen for a period of time and the screen will then go dark again. If you wake up the phone and you have missed calls or texts, they should show up on the screen, depending on your settings. The iPhone does not, and never has had a flashing light as some other phones have.
Check the manual for setting the Notification Center. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • Why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?

    why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?
    Everytime I go to update my apps some other persons email or AppleID comes up and I have to cancel.  its annoying enough to have to update all the time but now I have about100 update notifications (don't judge, you probably have a ton of apps too..haha) that are sitting idol, what's up how do I fix?
    thx

    p.s. not updating to iOS6 yet

    I'm sorry Allan, I should have clarified, your answer is improbable (well the first part atleast).
    The apps I have had since the first week of purchase of my iphone back in 2011,  I have not added any apps until 2 months before the last software update.  This starting happening when the new software was implemented but I have not updated to iOS6 yet.  Unless this person was able to hack into my account & transfer them to their account, I do not see how that is possible.
    Prior to seeing this other AppleID, I have a popup to prompt me for my AppleID each time I download content.  Each time I would see mine and enter my password.

  • Why is the Iphone not compatible with Verizons 4G network?

    Will Apple be coming out with an iphone4S that is compatible with Verizons 4G network?

    Why? Because it does not have an LTE radio in it.
    As for will Apple come out with one that is, nothing has been announced, therefore no-one knows. It's highly doubtful that there will be a version of the 4S that is LTE capable.

  • Why doesnt the iPhone keep a few percent of battery life up it's sleeve to allow the alarm to go off?

    Fifteen years ago, and for ten years running, spanning Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Ericsson and a couple of cheapies, I had the ability to set an alarm and it would wake me in the morning. Even if my phone went flat! I know none of these devices had the same drain as an iPhone, but surely the clever people at apple could design some code that will "kill" the phone at 5% battery so it's got enough charge for the alarm to function.
    Knowing some people would prefer that the phone doesn't shut down at 5%, a setting could be applied in an "alarm clock " section of the "settings" app, or it could be applied only when an alarm is active.
    I just don't think that an iPhone should lack functionality that was available to be on a Nokia 5110 ;-)

    In the meantime, if you plug the iPhone in at night, you shouldn't have a problem.

  • Why doesnt the iPhone actually tell you when your SMS wasnt sent???

    I get spotty service at my house and 50% of the time my text messages don't send. But thankfully the iPhone doesn't alert me when my messages don't send. So usually I end up waiting 10 minutes for a reply and I check and my message hasn't sent. VERY ANNOYING(to me at least). Is there anyway I can get my phone to tell me if a message was sent or not sent? Or can someone sent this up to the Tech Guys at apple so they can include this in their next software update?
    Thanks

    In your first post you say:
    the iPhone doesn't alert me when my messages don't send.
    Then in the post above you say:
    i look at my phone to find the little red exclamation point and it says " this message was not sent".
    So, which is it?
    Are you complaining that you choose to wait 10 minutes before checking whether the message has been sent, despite knowing that you "get spotty service at your house"? How is that Apple's fault?
    Why not just wait a few seconds after sending for the iPhone to notify you that it hasn't been sent?

  • Why doesnt the iphone tab pop up on itunes when i connect my phone

    I need help to figure out how to fix that.

    Hello KathyLucas1,
    It sounds like you have the latest version of iTunes on Mavericks and iOS 7.0.4 on your phone and do not have an Info tab in iTunes to sync your calendar to your device. Mavericks does not use Sync Services so there is no Info tab to click in iTunes. Here is more info from an article explaining why there is no Info tab.
    OS X Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later do not use SyncServices. Instead, Mavericks supports sharing your information using several network-based and cloud-based solutions. If you want to sync your information across multiple devices and computers, you should use one or more of these methods. These include iCloud, CardDAV servers, CalDAV servers, and servers that utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol.
    From: About SyncServices
              http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
    You can use iCloud to sync your calendars from your computer to your phone with the added bonus of not needing to connect your phone physically to your computer to update it.
    Set up iCloud on all your devices. The rest is automatic.

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Whenever I take pictures in a dark place with my iphone 4 the pictures come out with a purple haze. Why would this happen?

    Whenever I take pictures in a dark place with my Iphone 4, the pictures come out with a purple haze. Why does this happen?

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the camera. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

  • Why doesnt the smart filter mask move with the smart object?

    OMG Why doesnt the smart filter mask move with the smart object?  Yikes Way PITA

    If you look at the other tread about transform Again and smart Object layers you will find I found there seems to be two flavors of Transform and some bazar behaviors when it come to smart object layers. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4611500#4611500
    However for this problem here I think I can not show you how to do it.
    First target the smart filters Mask.  In fact so you can see what is happening Alt+Click on it so Photoshop displays the mask rather then the the composit image.  Then  use Ctrl+T free transform then just for a test hold down the Ctrl and the Alt keys and drag in a cornor to constrain and srink the Mask thee release the keys and press enter to commit the transform.
    Next target the smart object layer then use the short cut Ctrl+Shift+T (Transform Again) on a PC the smart object layer will be transformed to match the filter mask transform.

  • HT2204 when i want to update applications on my ipod i doesnt come up with mine it comes up with my mums boyfriends email but not why ???

    as it says wen i want to update my applications on my ipod touch 4th generation it comes up with my mums boyfriends email and not mine does anyone know why this is ???

    iOS 6.1.4, which came out at the start of May, is for the iPhone 5 only.
    What account were those apps downloaded with ? If they were downloaded with his account then they will be tied to his account so only his account can download updates to them. If they were bought/downloaded via your account then what id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app ? If it's his then try tapping on it and log out of it and then log in with your account and see if that makes any difference.

  • My iTunes Store on IPhone comes up with an error ([newNullResponse]). It is just on the music tab, tv shows and movies tab works fine. I have tried restarting phone, closing app, turning my account off and on. What is the problem I need help?!!!!

    My iTunes Store on iPhone comes up with an error [newNullResponse] always when I click the music tab. The movies and tv shows tab works fine. I have tried everything from restarting my phone to turning my account off and on.

    Try a different cable and a different charger. If neither fixes it you probably need a new battery. Apple will replace it for $80 in the US; I don't know what the charge is in other locations.
