Why won't the sound on my iPhone work? No music, no text tones or ring tone.

This morning my phones sound did not work when I plugged it into my car to play music. I unplugged it and realized none of the sound was working. No ringtone, no voicemail, no phonecalls, nothing. After playing with it and restarting it a couple times, it would turn on after static noises but then turn back off after a few seconds. At night I charge it on my iPod speakers, could that have caused the problem?

This will fix it:
1. Open iCal and backup your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
2. Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
3. Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
4. select the file your created earlier. Dbl click on it.
5. Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
6. Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
7. Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.

    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

  • Why won't the camera on my iPhone open?

    So whenever I try to open the camera app on my iPhone my phone screen restarts with a white page with the apple in the middle of it. The camera just won't open at all. When I use snapchat I can only take pictures from the front of the phone and not the camera in the back of the phone. In fact, snapchat won't even let me flip the camera around to use the camera on the back.
    Please help!

    Hi Cassielsmith13,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that the rear camera on your iPhone is not functioning as you would expect and I know how frustrating situations like **** can be. In this situation, there are a few different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend. Please use the steps located in the attached article to troubleshoot this situation.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
    Cheers,
    Joe

     Hi,
    Try the following.
    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
    Flash Player Uninstaller.
    When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
    Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
    Launch Firefox and see if videos etc play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component.  When done, restart Internet Explorer.
    Regards,

  • Why won't the Creative Cloud Desktop App Work??

    I have been trying for 2 weeks to get Creative Cloud to update to the CC versions from CS6 versions.  I've tried all the different methods I've found on the Forums.  Deleted the OOBE directory, tried to download directly from the Download page.  Nothing works!  the CCDesktop app is just a blank page - i've deleted and reinstalled the app at least 15 times - still a blank window for the CC Desktop app.  Does anyone have a workable solution?  I am running a 2011 iMac 27' 3.1 GHZ i5 core with OS 10.9.1
    Jim

    I'm having the same really frustrating issue. Did the link below help you at all? It did nothing for me. This problem with the creative cloud desktop being blank happened as soon as I installed the latest update for it. Ever since then, it's been blank, and thus, worthless to me.

  • Why won't the WiFi on my iphone 4s stay on?

    Hi
    This is the second week now that my WiFi hasn't worked on my phone. everybody else in the house can using their WiFi so there is nothing wrong with the internet. When I try to put my WiFi on it either says that it is searching or it say WiFi off. can anybody help me? I have also reset my phone to see if that would work but it didn't. Is my problem something I can sort or do I have to go to a shop to sort?

If still problem, and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • WHY WON'T THE SOUND WORK

    I have tried several times to get this flash player to play
    sound but I still can't get any sound at all. The video is there, i
    have the new version installed but when I go to YOU TUBE or a flash
    player required web site I can't get any sound from the videos. How
    can I get some sound from Adobe Flash Player
    9!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    I'm just a novice myself, but am having the same problem.
    Strangely enough I have come across a page here on the site that supposedly explains how some "partner" sites will no longer be useable now that some changes have been made.
    Maybe I am confusing the 2, but it sure looks like you now have to pay for it. (You can installer it, but have to subscribe to use the Macromedia Player to use those formerly partnered sites for the old experimental days.)
    Am I way off? Somebody say so!

  • Why won't the display on my iphone 4s turn sideways on apps?

    I can turn sideways for texting but not on any of my apps.

    Annoying isnt it? I tend to find 'closing' and 'reopening' the app works. Such as this happens to me alot while txting. I'll close the txt app (as in push home button to minimise it) then reopen it. This often happens to me when I push the power button to standby the phone while an app is open.

  • Why won't the 10.3 Flash Player work on my Mac 10.5.8?

    I actually posted this as part of a discussion under the thread "Flash 10.3 unable to be recognized", but nobody seemed to pay any attention to it there, so I am reposting my question as a new thread, but that is the problem I am having. When I download the player it says at the end it is installed, but yet I can't play games on FB I used to play, no You Tube, and no live chat room access, problems I never encountered until messing with this "current" Flash available. So here is what I did so far:
    Okay, so I need help with this same problem that Tombland began to describe best, same system, and I followed some of the suggestions you asked him to do Chris Cambell, and he got it worked out, and I didn't so I ran out of things to try, so here's where I am at with the apparent inability to recognize the 10.3. I have a Mac 10.5.8, run Safari on it. I would never have even updated the player if I knew it was going to be this big of a hassle, but I was trying to get a football game from ESPN3 to play(which never even ended up working!), so now that I did that, I get no You Tube videos, and a chat room I frequent often is unavailable to me as well.
    Sooo....I went to that page where I looked for "Shockwave Flash" section, and I did NOT have one. So then I followed the instructions to go to the folder/Library/Internet Plug-ins and I DO have "flashplayer.plugin" being displayed in there.  So now I have no idea what that means and what I am supposed to try next. I have tried uninstalling it, I have reinstalled it, I have tried to get archived Flash Players to go back to whatever I had that used to work(!), and I am not very good with computers especially a Mac, this is my first Mac I have had it for 1-2 years so I am still familiarizing myself with it, I have always had PC's. So please be VERY specific when you reply to guide me through the next part of the process to get this system working right. Please!? Thank you!(And I don't know how to show pictures of the screen being displayed, so please don't ask me to do that, although it has been very helpful what others have been able to visually show me to look for, sorry).

    It sounds like you had Flash 10.1 or earlier previously installed.  The older versions of Flash Player had "universal" support, which basically meant that it could run with either Intel or PowerPC based macs.  The new version of Flash Player, 10.3, only works with Intel macs.  That checkbox was telling Safari to run in the old, PowerPC mode, which isn't compatible with the updated Flash Player.  In addition to getting Flash Player to work, you should see a performance increase in Safari as it's running in a native mode now
    Glad I could help!

  • Why isn't the sound on my IMovie working?

    The actual clips have audio, but when I transfer them to Imovie, I can't hear them. Why?

    Maybe in your project properties you have the audio muted. When you hover over the clips in iMovie, does it show that the audio is enabled?

  • Why won't the wake and sleep feature work on my ipad

    I have a case that works but it doesn't

    You have Settings > General > iPad Cover Lock / Unlock set 'on' ? If you have and the cover is aligned then you could try a soft-reset and see if it works after the iPad has restarted : Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why won't the Apple Composite AV Cable work with ipad2?

    I got the Apple Composite AV Cable for our iPad2 but it does not seem to work.  The cable does not work with either our iPad2 or the iPod Touch 2G.  Ironically, the cord *does* work with our ancient iPod 80GB Classic. 
    The iPad does not show settings for PAL or NTSC or any other settings I could possibly change to try and get the video out to work.  What am I missing?
    IPod Touch is set for NTSC and Widescreen has been tried both off and on with no video shown on the TV.
    The videos do still show on the iPod/iPad screens while playing.

    Apparently the answer is no? I guess for me this is the #1 reason to not buy an iPhone 5. I switched to the iPhone specifically for the component (RCA) cable with charging capabilities for my car audio / nav needs. Android did not have a good solution and Apple did. I am sure there are a hand full of  folks who bought the Pioneer App radio who are stuck as well. Apple needs to make an airplay to component adapter or a cable for the iPhone 5. Newsflash  I am not switching my head unit out for a new phone. Don’t get me wrong I love air play and own an apple TV but hotel rooms, cars, boats and points of usage not going to have air play in all instances. Even if a cable comes out the “digital” port seems telling that component is going away. Time will tell.

  • Why won't the "Purchased" link in iTunes work?

    I am trying to redownload a Tom Petty album because it seems to have disappeared from my computer. I tried to go to the "Purchased" link but when I click it, I just get a blank white screen. I know the album still exists because if I find it on iTunes, it says I have purchased it. I have tried the "Purchased" link on the Home page, the Music page, at the bottom of every screen off the gray bar, and still the screen is just blank. Does anyone know why this is happening or another way I could redownload this album? I have updated all software.

    Click the iTunes Store button in the upper right.  Then click the "Account" link in the center right and make sure you are signed in to your account.

  • Why won't the sleep and wake button work

    the sleep and wake button has stopped working.

    If you have Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If you would like to try perfect Virtual Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock. You can even turn iPhone OFF with this button. To turn iPhone ON, connect iPhone to power ie charger or USB of computer.
