Why wont my volume work on my iPhone 4s?

why wont my volume work on my iPhone 4s?

Hey Chelsreb,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 4s. The following resource may provide a solution:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
1. Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
2. Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
3. If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
4. Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
5. If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
6. If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
          - Try turning off Bluetooth.
          - If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
7. Restart the iPhone.
8. If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
9. If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
If the issue persists, please follow the last step by contacting Apple Support for support and service options.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • Why wont e-mail work on the iPhone for my company?

    Ok i have been wanting to get an iPhone for a while now. About 8 months ago a bunch of us in our company upgraded our phones and most of us got new blackberry's because thats what we always had. One person decided to get an iPhone. When i tried to set up the e-mail for them it just didnt work well at all. Some e-mail came in, most didnt. An e-mail would go out, but most wouldnt. There was no rhyme or reason for it. We were missing tons of e-mails and in our industry i cant afford to miss e-mails and have them not come through, or not being able to reply to them. We dont use AOL, or Gmail, or any of those, but our e-mail is not on an exchange server. It is POP3. I was thinking that maybe the e-mail has gotten better and maybe it will work now? Well at least im hoping... Any ideas?

    Although a POP account can be accessed with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. If the account is being accessed with an email client on the one person's computer and the email client on the one person's computer is launched and running actively checking the incoming mail server for new messages while the iPhone's Mail client is doing the same, only one email client can be checking the incoming mail server for new messages and/or downloading new messages at a time.
    In addition, what is the account setting with the email client used on the computer for accessing the account for removing messages from the server when downloaded? If set to remove messages from the server when downloaded and the email client is actively checking the account for new messages and downloading new messages received at the server while the iPhone's Mail client is doing the same, the messages downloaded with the email client on the computer will be removed from the server when downloaded so the messages will not be available for the iPhone's Mail client to download when the iPhone's Mail client checks the incoming mail server for new messages afterwards.
    Does the account have an authenticated SMTP server?
    If not, there will be problems sending messages with the account depending on the the internet service provider being used for the internet connection at the time.

  • Why wont google toolbar work with fire fox 5????? also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

    Hello,my question is why wont google toolbar work with firefox 5?????
    Also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

    This page is an easier way to download Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0&os=win&lang=en-US , as this links starts the download process asap.
    I needed to upgrade to Firefox 4.0+ for an add-on that I really needed. However, I can't use Firefox 5.0, as I randomly checked 3 add-on's I had: "Firefox PDF", "Delicious Bookmarks" and "After the Deadline", and none of them worked with Firefox 5.0. In fact, I will have to download alpha versions, etc., to get these add-ons to work with Firefox 4.0.

  • HT4783 why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

    why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

    NNot sure if anyone help you resolve this or if it works with Mavericks but with Yosemite I couldn't send From iPhone 5 or iPad mini 2 because my Macbook Pro wasn't able to be seen via AirDrop. After a grueling 4 hours with support and factory resets of both devices I was transferred to the CPU Support team, which resolved my issue in about 3 mins. Needless to say I wasn't happy but figured I should help anyone else in the same boat as me. I have both devices operating on iOS 8 and MacBook pro rubbing Yosemite.
    1. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to no one and close the finder window.
    2. Go To Apple Logo -> Force Quit -> Select Finder from App List -> Force Quit.
    3. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to everyone and try to send file from iPad / iPhone to computer.
    This process allowed the computer to be seen / recornized on the iOS deVice. Hope this helps.

  • Why wont my volume (up) button work

    my volume up button wont work... volume down and mute work just fine.

    are you using the keyboard or through the cursor?
    If its from the keyboard, the volume up tile may be stucked from excess dust or small particles. If you bought an instore warrantly, check if dust cleaning is covered, if not its best to get it dusted as it will boost performance and keyboard functionality

  • Why wont assigned ringtones work after downloading the newest OS on iPhone 4

    I have had ringtones assigned to my contacts and they no longer work after I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. It plays the default ringtone Marimba rather than playing the ringtone file assigned. I've tried reassigning them and it doesn't work.

    Deselect in iTunes, sync. When finished, select tones and sync again.

  • Why Does 3G Not Work on my IPhone

    Apologies everyone - I am a real numpty with my IPhone.  I have switched just about everything on i think I need to to enable 3G and my service provider says that in my present location the wireless service is excellent.  So why is that on my top toolbar I don't see 3G - just my signal strength, service provider and a round circle then the date.  I cannot get connectivity unless I am at home next to my own router.  Can anyone help as I have had this problem now since I have had my phone and I really do need to get it sorted out.  Any guidance at all is very welcome indeed.

    Hi,
    What type of iPhone do you have. I heard that 3G cannot switched off on an iPhone 4s, so if you have that one, it can only be a service provider issue (worst case: Your antenna does not work).
    Did you try on a different location, like downtown?
    If you have an iPhone 4 or 3Gs you can check if 3G is switched off: Go to settings->General->Network. At the top there is a 3G switch that should be on (blue).
    Let us know if this works.

  • Why will iTunes Match work on my iPhone, but not on my MB Pro?

    I have an annual Match subscription which I downloaded onto my MacBook.  I then enable Match on my iPhone and it works properly.  However, when I try to turn Match ON on my MacBook, it displays an ad asking me to subscribe again.  I can play the iTunes Radio just fine, except for the commercials, which is why I subscribed to Match in the first place.  I'm sure there's a step I'm missing somewhere.  Any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    Have you signed into iTunes using same Apple ID before turning on match on your computer?
    Did you subscribe to match from your iPhone or your computer?

  • Why wont yahoo mail work after updating to newst firefox?

    I can access yahoo mail site, but when I try to go to inbox, nothing happens. None of the tabs work either. I can access my account with Chrome but not with the updated Firefox.

    Not sure why.
    As with a problem with a 3rd party app on your computer, contact the app developer for this app regarding the problem you are having with the app on your iPhone.

  • Why wont my imessage work for just one contact

    For some reason my iPhone wont let me imessage with just one of my contacts... it works with all the other ones but that contact stays regular sms text! Tried rebooting the phone and turning my imessage on and off... dont get it!

    I have the same problem as SWatson12, and the person I'm texting has an iPhone 4S like me and is in my house - so there isn't a question of coverage area or type of phone.
    But iMessage still works with this person if I text via my Mac or iPad.
    This has been a problem since last night. At first, when I updated to 10.8.2, it worked great!

  • Why wont this script work???

    Hi,
    I have previously used this script to make a portrait scroll bar which works perfectly, however i have altered the script to work in a landscape scroll bar by altering the x and y axis and switching out the height for width. However a part of it wont work...The left and right arrows work correctly however the scroll bar does not move and I can not for the life of me figure out why.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what ive missed or done wrong?
    Thanks in advance
    scrolling = function () {

    sorry should have said...its the aspect relating to "scrollFace" which is mentioned throughout..ive marked it out in bold and taken out anything unrelivant.

    scrollFace.onMouseUp = function() {

  • Why does siri not work on my iPhone 4s?

    Just purchased iphone 4S and Siri is not working.  I have the most up to date software - 5.0.1  When I hold down the home button I get the voice control feature that's on previous versions.  Any ideas?

    It kind of sounds like Siri might not be activated.  Go to Settings - General - Siri and confirm it's turned on.  If it is, you might also make sure "raise to speak" is turned on, then go to your home screen and raise your phone to your ear.  Does the Siri audible prompt sound?
    If nothing else works, I'd do a current sync, then go to Settings - General - Reset and do a full reset.  If that doesn't work, try a Restore.  Here's a link for how to do that:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzyy4puapig  You won't lose any data or apps, but you will have to reinput some odds and ends like your WiFi password.  Good luck.
