Why is messaging not always notifying me I received a new message?

For some reason when I receive a message it does not play the sound to notify me I received a new message so I am having to look at my phone constantly so I don't miss messages.
Worked fine until iOS 6 upgrade yesterday.

Try doing a hard reset: Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Using that last article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
Good luck

  • Why does favicon not always download on PC ... whereas it does on Mac?

    Why does favicon not always download on PC ... whereas it does on Mac?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Why can I not make a call or receive a call using my earbuds/mic?

    Why can I not make a call or receive a call using my earbuds/mic?

    I have the exact same problem.  I just updated to 4.3.3 and now my inline controls on my earphones don't work.  The earphones work, but the controls don't.  It doesn't even recognize that there is a mic attached.  Even with the earphones in it still uses the built in mic. Why did my controls stop working?!

  • Why am I not able to send or receive imessages?

    I am wondering why I am not able to send or receive imessages anymore?

    Try turning off iMessage, wait a couple of minutes, then turn it back on.  If that doesn't resolve it there are additional troubleshooting steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755.

  • Why is iMessage not always available

    My other half sent me a txt today, his phone say,s delivered, I never got it. I a guessing it was via iMessage. Why is it that iMessage is not always available?

    It sounds as though your phone message may not be properly registered with iMessage.
    Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage OFF, then turn it back on again.
    Make sure the message "iMessages can be sent between iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch" appears.

  • Why have I not been notified of Software Updates?

    Two aspects of what is perhaps one general problem here.
    One, I normally log into my MacBook as a non-administrator user and so don't then expect to be informed of Software Updates. If I've heard of them via MacFixit or whatever, then I know to run Software Update manually, authenticating as an administrator. Recently, however, I switched on my MacBook, logged in as an administrator and, when no notification of a software update was given to me (the administrator user has "Check for updates daily" and "Download important updates automatically" checked), decided to start System Preferences to look at the Software Update status. To my surprise, it had a message about not having been able to connect to the Internet, even though immediately after this I did have a working wireless connection. It seems that if I login as an administrator before the connection is made, Software Update terminates without having found any waiting updates. This has presumably been put there every time I've started up as administrator, which explains why I've never been notified of a software update - or alerted to this problem! Isn't this rather dangerous?
    Two, I logged on today as my normal non-administrator account, got a wireless connection, and browsed the web a bit. Then I logged off and logged on again as an administrator. The System Preferences Software Update panel showed "Last check: Software update ran successfully" with a time just after my login as an administrator. I presumed that all was well, that my system was completely up to date, but decided on a whim to press the "Check now" button. Imagine my surprise when I saw that three updates, including MacOS X 10.5.4, awaited me! So, why wasn't I notified of these updates immediately I logged in as administrator?
    How many MacOS X users are there out there who, because of this behaviour, not having applied updates - even security updates - manually, have insecure unpatched systems? If the problem is widespread, shouldn't someone be alerting Mac owners to the need to keep our systems updated?

    Fortunately the Mac environment doesn't suffer from major security flaws that need urgent patching (contrary to the implication in the Mac help file) and so there is little drama in delaying updates. I personally do not install updates until some time after release so that any bugs can hopefully be ironed out.
    However that doesn't address why your software update is not doing its job. You could look at this page to see whether it is any help:

  • Why can I not always pull up my network?

    Hello! I have found that when I want to connect with my laptop via my wireless network that it is not always there on the iMac. Everything is connected to the network, it simply does not always show up as accessible on my iMac. I have tried going into my Finder, selecting Go > Network and I see it searching, but alas, no laptop appears. This is very irritating that I cannot have access to my laptop as soon as I need it. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

    Which "model" & "generation" G5 iMac do you have?

    Which wireless network do you have? If a 3rd party one, have you checked the manual and/or the manufacture's website for instructions?
    If you are using one of Apple's Airports, then I suggest that you cross-post in one of the AirPort Forums.

  • Why does iphone not always pick up signal in new city?

    I just flew to Vegas, Phoenix and Atlanta. Each time, iphone did not acquire signal on landing for minutes (at least), but immediately picked it up when I powered down and powered back on. What is the technical reason for this, and why does turning the phone off and on help to re-establish connection? I realize this issue is not unique to iphones, but I've never understood why it happens.

    palmerimoots,
    Whether or not GSM signals from any cellular phone will cause a plan to crash is not the point. The point is the FAA requires devices that have not been certified by the FAA not radiate in any radio frequency. Airplane mode was designed to comply with those rules and regulations. I don't have confirmation, but comparing my battery life on a trip this last week to my mothers to back in late July the iPhone seemed to have better battery life in a No Service area. I personally suspect that after being in a No Service area for a while the iPhone will stop searching as frequently. When you power off the iPhone or put it in Airplane mode for a few minutes and then come out of Airplane mode the iPhone will search for signal.
    There is a limited waiver in place for WiFi for some airlines that are experimenting with offering WiFi, but that does not extend to the GSM frequencies.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Why does Spaces not always show apps in the designated space?

    HI.
    I have 2 spaces defined. Space 1 is for xcode. Space 2 is for Interface Builder. When in space 1 and using xcode I open a xib file. It opens in space 2 with Interface Builder, just like it should. However when I open another xib file from space 1 it displays in space 1 and not in space 2.
    Before a clean instal of SL it always opened in the correct space.
    Is this a bug or is there a magic setting somewhere?
    Also how do you manually move views to other spaces?

    What happens if you open the xib from IB via space 2 thereafter? Does that xib behave the same each time it is re-opened?
    Have you emptied Xcode's caches specifically during your tests?

  • Why does Sync not always load, or for that matter, the personal addons page?

    For all of the betas, including Minefield, every so often Firefox features do not seem to load. The Add-ons Manager will stay "blank", despite the columns loading, just nothing inside. And thus I am said when this happens. Any ideas?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never Remember History).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
    *Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
    You can check the browser.sessionstore.* prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page and reset user set (bold) browser.sessionstore.*prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu to make sure that Session Restore is enabled and working properly.

  • Why will it not allow me to create an adobe new user id for my new program

    I'm not sure why it won't allow me to create a new user id account.  I just purchased the bundle package adobe photoshop elements 8 and premiere elements 8 for my HP laptop online. I keep getting an error 400 message.

    Can you confirm that at the time of creating your AdobeID you are connected to internet?  As I expect this error message is appear only in case if you are not connected to internet. So please check it again.
    Thanks,

  • When using tabbed browsing, if I click to open a new tab, why will it not automatically load my homepage in the new tab instead of a blank window?

    I use tabbed browsing with the tab bar visible at all times so I can click on a new tab when convenient.Why can my homepage not load automatically on that newly opened tab insted of a blank screen with a search bar saying "you've opened a new tab".........well yeah. I have looked through the options and cannot find anything to open a new tab with the homepage. Is it possible? Have I missed it? If it's not possible, could you make it so?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I opened a new tab.....see above

    The default is to load a blank page.
    Try one of these add-ons:
