Why won't my alarm ring

Why won't my alram ring? I have it set for a daily one and the screen shows the word "alarm" but no sound

I've been having the same problem with my new iphone 4s. I'm a seasoned iphone user. I can have it sitting on the table next to me and the screen won't light up, ring, anything. Then I can pick it up sometime and see there's a missed call, even missed texts, new voicemail, and never a sound or any notice. I've done a hard reset, but not a settings reset. I'll try that, but I'm not holding my breath. I had a 3gs for more than two years and never had a problem.

Why won't Skype calls ring?

. . . because the "Ring on all devices" feature has been removed. Therefore, if you use headphones, you must unplug them every time you take them off and step/look away from your computer - otherwise, you will miss calls. I don't understand the logic behind the removal of that feature. Can someone from Skype enlighten me?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Unfortunately due to changes in the Windows Audio infrastructure it is not possible any more to ring all audio devices at the same time on Windows which is why we had to remove this functionality.
You can manually re-order the order of priority for your audio devices to ring. So e.g. you could have your computers audio always ring, even if your headset is plugged in. You will find that option in the Skype options' "General - Audio Settings" section.

Why won't my phone ring when it is charging?

It vibrates but won't ring...

Are you SURE that you're using the charger that came with the iPod? The iPod and iPhone chargers are too weak.

Why won't my facetime ring when I get a call

I can not tell when someone is trying to facetime. My ringtone doesn't work correctly.

Do you have sounds turned on for these types of notifications? Also, if you have notifications turned on, do the sounds show up in the Notifications settings area for the particular apps?

HT2417 Iphone model MC608LL. Why won't it switch back to ringer from vibrate?

Have 3G Iphone model MC608LL. Why won't it switch back to ringer from vibrate? Local repair shop said it was a software issue. AT&T store said to back it up and update OS version. Did all that. The switch still won't take it off vibrate.

- How did you delete it? If you used Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings without the iPod being charged you could have completely drained the battery.
- After charging for at least half an hour 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, after the charging above, place the iPod in recovery mode and try to restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

Hi Ruth:
Thanks for reaching out to me about this issue.
This has been happening since I got the phone a couple of years ago.
I did not realize that my home land line and my wife's cell phone
always go straight to voice mail until my wife pointed it out to me
several months ago. Is there a setting I can adjust?
Yes, I can make calls to our home land line and to her cell phone
without being diverted to voice mail.
Any advice you might have would be most welcome.
Thanks.

I've been having trouble with in getting iMessage to send messages. I decided to connect to my VPN (along with wifi) and it worked. Why won't it work via my wifi connection alone?

HT1688 Why won't the volume on my iPhone 5 go down when I press the bottom volume up only works?

Why won't the volume on my iPhone 5 go down

Hey cacobo,
I found an article that can help with troubleshooting an iPhone's receiver or speakers.
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Hope that helps,
David

HT3702 I only download things that are free from App Store, but sometimes it doesn't let me download something saying there is a problem with a previous purchase? So why won't it let me??

Why won't the App Store let me download things that are free, just because I don't have money on my card sometimes, it's free so I just don't get it??

You can try to make a new account on iTunes Store if you didnt have yet.
I had the same problem with iTunes Store, the only thing you can do is to put some money on that credit card you are using with you account. iTunes Store already keeping some money for the last purchase you made you can see all info on the Account option and then Purchase history ...

Yes, the tone is available and checked in iTunes under the Tones library.
Yes, it is also listed under the Tones tab for my iPhone, but it is grayed out.
Yes, tones are selected under "sources" in General Preferences, along with everything else.
SyncTones was NOT selected under the Tones tab for my iPhone. I did so and it synced.
Thanks for your help!

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2 year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy. Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me. These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE?? WHY? A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones... Please tell me why? All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue. I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone.
A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA. Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone. That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them. That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with.
Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country. I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
A response would be appreciated.
Thank you.
An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.
P

Defiled:
I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east. She travels in missions all over.
At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone? AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier. If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" . My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T . I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product. My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
Thank you for your responses.

ITunes says my computer isn't authorized to play one song, but all the rest of them work. The song works on my iPad so why won't it work on my computer or my iPod?

iTunes says my computer isn't authorized to play one of the songs I just downloaded, but all the rest of them work. That song works on my iPad so why won't it work on my computer or my iPod? It says my computer isn't authorized to play that song so I type in my password and it pops up with a menu saying my computer is already authorized and it skips to the next song. No matter what I do it won't play that song on my laptop or my iPod.

Could be a Corrupt download of that song...
If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
Delete the Song(s) and re-download...
