With new podcast app. How do you delete the podcast you no longer want on iphone .
So last night I was talking via speaker phone and suddenly noticed that the sound quality was horrible. It was extremely grainy and scratchy sounding. At first I thought it was just something with the call quality so I turned off the speaker and talked on the phone normally. Later I got an e-mail and noticed that the tone that it made also sounded scratchy. So I tried playing a song through the iphone speaker and sure enough that was awful too. I know it's the internal speaker because the music played fine through headphones. Has anyone experienced this before? If so, how did you go about fixing it? Thank you!
Hi. Last Saturday morning I lost my phone and immediately went onto iCloud and entered the phone into Lost Mode, sent the message and played Sound. Spent all that day reporting the loss to the police, insurance and Vodafone and generally panicking. Went to bed that night, put hand under pillow and guess what, found my darling phone!!! What a relief!! Cancelled Lost Mode on iCloud and restored passwords, Vodafone etc. HOWEVER, at various times (and obviously I never get any warning), the lost alarm still sounds and in public, people must think I have stolen my own phone!!! I have tried different ways to stop the alarm happening again eg setting Lost Mode over again and then cancelling it again but the alarm still goes off. All I have to do is press the on/off button to stop it sounding but the fact that it goes off in the first place is the problem. It should be cancelled! Why does the alarm still go off? Can anyone help please? Many thanks Susan
I want to block the number 41325106714. they are bugging me for the last 3 weeks. so far I have just given it a separate ring tone so that I know right away it is them. Is there an app that I can use for that purpose. I could not find anything that was helpful.
Hi! Just last night and this morning my iphone has been having problems. I asked my sister to call me, (as a test.) but her phone played (no ringing) "the person you have called is not receiving calls right now." I can not send text message either. We both have iphone 4s's. thankyou!
I was at an electronics store yesterday enquiring about the problem I have viewing a golf coaching app I downloaded to my iphone 4 which I can't see when I connect the phone to our smart tv by HDMI cable and the sales bloke recommended a box that you plug in between the phone and the tv and it converts what you want to play into a compatible format so it can be played. Because the price was $99, I didn't pay full attention to what it was called, but I subsequently realised I might be able to get one cheap on the net. Does anyone know what these boxes are called?
My iphone 5 has the latest ios 6.1.3 and the battery life is hit and miss. The phone has been factory wiped in itunes and re set up. It sometimes will drop 50 percent on its own in a couple hours. If i do the home button and power reset on the phone the battery will report better. Maybe its a software glitch. I was also disappointed with the fact that i bought a high end home stereo and the iphone doesnt support the new apt-x codec yet their laptops do? Why is this. Its no wonder apple stocks are falling. I have owned every iphone since the 3gs and really have not seen any real improvements other than processors and screens. Poor customizations, lack of ability to personalize the phone and really nothing to keep me with buying another apple. This is unfortunate as the hardware is great but the feature set just hasn't improved in 5 years. In fact i think it has gotten worse. Being a communications tech i used to use wifi apps for testing signal strength on installed accesspoints and those apps got stripped be ause of apples sdk or whatever it was. The slew of apps on the android market for this is staggering. Now i see that motorola, htc and samsungs are all supporting the apt-x codec but no apple. Gps apps are poor and apple maps for our area are black and whit and half are covered in clouds from the satellite view so you cant see the streets anyways. As a business phone the iphone is looking less imoressive day by day. As a music player its also now being outdone. I hope apple takes some of this to heart and really does something impressive to IOS 7 to restore faith in its fans. And maybe some day we will be able to use one of our songs for a ring tone instead of having to pay. My old cdma phone even had this ability.
I got an iphone 5 Friday plugged in the headphones Sunday and only one earbud played music so I took it back and the swapped it out we tested the earphones before we left both earbuds worked and now only one works. What's going on?
Hi guys. Today when I played music through spotify to my car audio system (through minijack), my iphone 5 turned itself off in the same way it does when the battery is empty. At this point, the battery was at 40%. When I tried turning it on immediately after, the 'connect to power outlet' symbol showed up. I also remember I used the snapchat app at that point. Now a couple of hours later, I could turn it on normally and I have 40% power left. At the moment I'm running iOS 6.1.3 and I've never experienced this before. Has anyone else had this problem? Could it be related to the amount of power drawn through the headphone jack? Thanks!
It looks like a very common problem but I need a solution. I have an iphone 4 GSM and some times the sound bar dissapear and the only sound I can hear is the ring tone. Non the messages tone, sound on videos, music, keyboard clicks or the block/unblock sounds are available. I been told that the porblem is caused by an error on a file named: com.apple.iapd.plist is there a way to fix or repair this file? I will appreciate any help you can provide.
The devices in question are an iphone 5 and a 3rd generation iPad, both run the latest iOS bits available and I am signed in with my Apple Id on both devices. The behavior I'd like to experience is:the settings (Stations and Podcasts within Stations and particular Podcast settings) set on one device just show up on the other device.both devices show the exact same played, partly-played and unplayed podcasts in their stations. Isn't this the way things should "just work" in the Apple world? The reason for asking is that my two devices do not seem to talk to each other and cannot locate a way to get them to synchronize. Thank you, eugen
this started after a sceen replacemet, tried restoring but still nothing, does anybody know whats wrong with it?
Since yesterday on my iphone 4 IOS 5.1.1 in the original YouTube App all recently played videos AND favorites get deleted everytime i close the YouTube App. Has anyone a solution for this problem?
Lock Sound, Keyboard Clicks, Message tone & any YouTube audio not working
Hi experts, need some help. I've had my iP4 for 2 years now, mostly trouble free. Recently my sounds have "mostly" stopped working and I just can't figure out why. I've done a lot of troubleshooting so here is what the symptoms are: - Volume up/down buttons do not work, nothing happens when pressed- Silent switch does not work, nothing happens when switched- Lock sound does not happen- Phone does not ring (only vibrates)- Phone does not alert or chime - Some apps audio does not work, but most apps play audio fine (youtube, music, videos, most games, etc)- When selecting ring-tone or alert sounds I can hear the sound, so the speaker is working fine Here is what I've tried- check all settings and switches, certainly not a setting issue- cleaned the dock connector with a brush, it is very clean- cleaned headphone jack, and insert/remove headphones multiple times- wiped all settings and restored to factory settings- updated to latest ios6 firmware- deleted "com.apple.iapd.plist" file using iexplorer, did nothing Seems like I'm just about out of options now! Thanks for any help.
Sorry - pressed the wrong key. When a call is coming in, the phone vibrates, but there is no ring. I haven't changed any settings that I am aware of. I have gone into the settings to see if choosing a different ring tone might make a difference, but it doesn't. I have restarted the phone a couple of times. That hasn't worked either. Not sure what else to try. Any advice gladly received. Padraig
Here's my journey. I had the iphone 5 from the day it was realeased. Was with Vodafone Australia. Phone was awesome. Coverage was an issue, so decided to swap to Telstra recently. Got new iphone 5 with the change over. From the beginning, the new iphone on Telstra, the battery was draining completely in less than 3 hours. Looked at the support communities and spoke to Apple. I made the mistake of setting the phone up from a "BackUp". They suggested setting it up as a "new phone" in iTunes. Did that - phone had been awesome until 4 days ago when I decided to "Update All" of the pending App updates. After all was downloaded the phone returned to its draining self, also becomign VERY VERY HOT when charging. Warmer than normal. Also got a SMS from Telstra to say I have used 82% of my download entitlement. With 22 days remaining!!!! Something wasnt right, not only was it using the battery life, cellular data usage was being drained also. Spoke to Apple, they told me I would need to do a process of elimination to find the "corrupt" app that was draining the Battery & Data. I deleted every single App I had on the phone, yet it made no difference. I started to monitor the cellular data recieved on the phone. With no apps and nothing running, how is there data and battery being drained. Decided yesterday to"RESTORE" iphone once again. Set up as a new phone. I had loaded my email settings, but nothing else. I hadnt even provided my Apple ID infomation so the App Store wasnt logged in. Phone was still not right. played with some settings, decided to turn my "Exchange" email from "PUSH" to "Manually Fetch". After this, the phone was back to normal. No cellular data being downloaded and battery OK. Turned Exchanged back to PUSH, then the battery decides to trickle away again. After all this ********, I have narrowed it down to the way my exhcnage server checks for new messages. I have ALWAYS had my Exchange server PUSH emails to me. Why with this phone, on 6.1 should I have to have it to Manually check for emails. I get the feeling from conversations with other people, there seems to be alot of unknown data usage which Apple need to make a priority in preventing. This is costing consumers time and money. Curious if anyone else has had same issue?
I have a problem with podcasts which I don't think is already being discussed on here. I have a whole load of podcasts which I have previously downloaded through iTunes. The podcasts are on my iphone and are stored in my PC in the appropriate folder, but when I look at them in iTunes they all have the icon telling me I can download them but they cannot be played from iTunes. It's as if they want to be downloaded again, but I have spent hours downloading them all the first time and can't afford the time or the money to do so again. Since the files are on my PC and my phone, how can I convince iTunes that I have them?
Music, ringer, and text tone are all not working! Everything comes through headphones fine. Phone hasn't been in water or dropped or anything it just happened out of no where! Help!
Updated my iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.2 a few hours ago, and I feel that my iphone 5's battery life has gotten ALOT worse than when it was on iOS 6.1.1 (although battery life was pretty bad there too). Phone was 100% after a full battery charge, 95% after recieving a 3minute call (WiFi & cellular off). played Subway Surfers for a few minutes, battery went down from 95% to 89%. Phone is now currently on 71% with ---- USAGE: 35 minutes STANDBY: 1hour -NOTIFICATIONS / PUSH NOTIFICATIONS ARE ALL OFF EXCEPT FOR MESSAGING AND PHONE CALLS-iCLOUD OFF-BRIGHTNESS AT ITS LOWEST-NO ACCOUNTS SYNCED ON MAIL Also, phone is a bit warm. This hasn't happened with the previous iOS updates. I updated through iTunes by the way.
Help please. I have an iphone 5 that experiences slow streaming over Wi-Fi. I would say it’s started from day one and never got better. I currently own an iphone 3GS, 4S and iPad2 that don’t experience this problem. When I connect to any Wi-Fi network including Apple’s store network, after 5 mins videos played in YouTube no longer buffer or buffer very slow with jerky playback. When I switch to 3G it loads with no problems and I am not with the fastest telco. My current download speed at home is 20Mbs and I am not loading HD content. I have don’t heaps of research and tried the following:Re-set my router 2.4g and 5gTired a new router 2.4g and 5gVarious security settings on the routerRe-set my phone and restored (took 4 days)Re-set my phone and tested while in out of box stateRe-set network settings on my phoneTest it at the apple store Finally Apple replaced my phone and that too is doing the same thing, plus I think the battery has capacity issues now. Just taken another step back. As anybody got any ideas as to why I am having this issue with streaming? Is there a fix? Regards,Michael
I love listening to music on my iphone, but suddenly yesterday, after playing the last song on an album, it just froze. I can move back to music menu, forward or even play the same album again. It's just stuck. Does anyone know how to clear it?
I have been back to bluewater about my phone 5times due to faults. I had sim stuck in my 1st replacement then I had no silent mode on the 2nd and the 3rd phone I was dropping calls and the home button sticking. This still happens. I then went back after Xmas with the same fault and was told there is no fault and this was just software issues. I then asked how long my warranty was left and that I was not happy with this and they said not long about 2weeks I think this is now up. But I have had problems from day 1. I was told by a manager that the iphone 4 was rubbish and now old and can't cope with the work load, I stated that the phone was less than 2months old and I had no problems with the original until I dropped it and smashed the screen. I have also since had a problem with the camera not working correctly. And now I have noticed that the sound does not work on text tone. And the vibration also doesn't work. So I am getting txt then not realising. I have to travel 30miles there and back every time I take my phone into the shop to get told this is software, I think this is an excuse to not sort the problem. I need to bring this phone back because of sound. If you could please get back to me on this it would be great. Lloyd
I rely on reminders - especially VOICE reminders. The app, AidaReminder, used to be able to play my recorded voice reminder even when the phone was locked. I need this capability - because it doesn't work to have to look at my phone. My phone isn't always physically near me or I'm working with something too messy to pick up the phone. Moreover, AidaReminder used to be able to keep alerting me until I turned it off. Now all I get is one alert chime, and I have to physically interact with the phone to know what the reminder is. I checked with other apps and they all have the same problem. On the VoCal app page: "iOS 6 users note: The mode that allows your voice to play as the reminder tone can no longer be supported in iOS 6. VoCal will revert back to alerting you to a reminder to which you then slide to listen to your recording." Why did Apple do this? Is this something they can fix in an update? Is there a way to let Apple know how HUGE a problem this is?.
I woke up this morning via my alarm settings on my iphone 5. Came back to the phone about 45 minutes later and noticed there was no sound for the lockpad, calls, alarms, notifications, ringtones, music, other apps, etc. I followed some of the of the steps I've found through through the community: - Confirmed silent button wasn't turned on- Confirmed both ringtone/sound volumes were turned up- Turned off bluetooth- Forced Reboot- Regular Shutdown/Restart- Reset All Settings (Without Content)- Disable/Enable Change with Buttons- Disabled/Enabled Vibrate on Ring/Silent When attempting to change a ringtone with "vibrate on ring" and silent button turned off the vibrate kicks in however no tone. I've seen this in the past with my 4S and it only took a forced reboot to clear it. Anyone else experiencing this issue as of 2013? I heavily rely on sounds for alarms, notifications, etc (as I'm sure everyone else does) so any word of advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This happens for many, but not all contacts trying to call me: They are getting occupied tone/signal. The iphone does not ring or vibrate or turn on light upon incoming, but the "cold call" is registred in the log with time as "not answerd". I have checked with the telcom operator - who claim everything to be OK with the sim-card and the network as a such. They recommended to turn the pone off and on again - with result no signigican improvement.I have lived with this error for some months - so it is not an incident. Any idea of what the cause may be?
I open "iTunes" on my iphone, then "Tones", then choose the ringtone i like and press "Buy tone".iTunes asks me, how i would like to use my new tone - i choose "define to contact", then it asks to provide access to Contacts, and I say "Yes".tone downloads, but afterwards i find that contact still has old (default ringtone), so i have to do it myself. Is it a known issue, and what is the solution? Thank you.
Why Itunes say My iphone 4 doesn't allow me to copy certain movie??? I just bough the Rihanna Concert and after i got done downloading it, i tired to copy it to my iphone 4 (with the UpDate) and it told me that movie can not be played on my iphone, WHY?!?!??!?
Hi, Can someone help me please? I've got an iphone 4s and updated it recently with OS6.1. I dont get to hear sounds, like text messeging, Music and others but i can hear it ring if I go to Ringtone and someone calls me, but other that no more, especially in Text tone (when i listen to Textone in Settings and when i recieve text messege NO SOUND), it only vibrates. Though i can hear it sound when I plug in the headphones, the same goes with Music. Ive tried restarting the phone and resetting all settings still its not working. Please please help. Thank you!
I have had an issue since updating to OS 6.0.1. My phone does not recognize the buttons on the side that silent and make the sound work. The volume buttons are not recognized either. The phone just will not ring. It will vibrate when I have an incoming call and all of the apps that I have put on my phone after I did the update make noises, just not any that I had on previously. If I go to the ring tone section in settings I can hear and preview all of the ringtones, but the phone still will not ring. I was thinking that with last nights update to 6.1 the problem would resolve itself, but alas it has not. I am tired of missing calls and having to keep my phone on my person at all times. I have completely reset my phone to no avail, I have put it into DFU mode to no avail. I am just running out of ideas on how to fix this problem. It is an iphone 4. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hey My iphone has suddenly stopped playing sound for music, keypad tone but seems to ring when a call comes through ? Is it a bug ? Thank you
Hello, Some background: iMessage and Facetime are not working. Both applications are saying that I am not typing in the correct password for my Apple ID. Needless to say, the applications are wrong and I am using the correct password. Some background: 1) This is an iphone 5. 2) It is running iOS 6.0.2. 3) I am on Verizon. 4) I am located in the continental US. 5) I have a full e-mail address for my Apple ID username. 6) iMessage and Facetime are both working on my iPad, using the same login information. 7) All other applications that use Apple ID, such as the App Store, are not having this type of log in issue. 8) This issue occurs regardless of whether I am connected to wi-fi or just the mobile carrier, or both. Troubleshooting I have tried to fix this issue: 1) I have changed my Apple ID password. This did not work. 2) I have changed my Apple ID username/email. This did not work. 3) I have played around with Date/Time setting changes. This did not work. 4) I have reset all settings. This did not work. 5) I have tried hard restarts of the phone. This did not work. 6) I have performed a restore from backup of the phone. This did not work. 7) I have performed a full factory restore of the phone. This did not work. Apple Support is at a total loss on how to fix this. I have now had multiple frustrating phone support sessions with them with zero results. If you do some searching, it appears there is no way that anyone knows of to fix this issue once all the troubleshooting I have listed above has failed. People have had to acquire brand new phones in order for these applications to work again. Obviously this is unacceptable. There are a lot of smart people on these forums fixing tech issues like this. Anyone have any input?
I have an iphone 4S. My ringtone and alarm will work, on occasion my texting alert will too. Although, I can't control how loud I want any of these things anymore. Other than that, my slide to unlock sound does not work, neither does the click sounds when texting. I have checked to make sure these are all on and enabled in settings. My phone will not play music and I cannot hear any videos either unless it is plugged into an auxiliary cord and played through a stereo. I dropped it in the snow once, could this be why? Is this a malfunction? Can I fix it or do I get a new phone because of a defect? Thank you!!
I was recording a video of my friend getting engaged and my iphone 4S ran out of memory and stopped recording. Afterwards the video couldn't be played on my iphone and I am encountering the same problem when trying to play the file on my laptop. I've tried a few different MOV and MP4 fix websites, but nothing seems to work. The file size is 377MB so I know something is there, it just can't play. Is there some sort of code that's written into the video file at the end that didn't happen because my iphone ran out of memory? Any help to save this very important memory would be appreciated. Thanks -Justin
My iphone 4 only turns on when plugged into a charger.Previously, it had minimal water damage but I successfully got it in working order - restored it, dl'd apps, made calls, played music fully functional (or so I thought).There is nothing wrong with the lcd, visually, or phsyically, I am able to see and flip through apps.On the flip side, once I unplug the iphone from the charger, when it is inactive and on sleep mode, it doesn't want to turn back on, unless I plug it in to the charger. Note, as soon as I plug it in, it will turn the phone on whilst taking a picture of the screen... as if I pressed the sleep and home button simulatenously to take a photo of the current on the iphone. Everytime, it doesn't fail. Now that the battery is fully charged, it won't turn on even when I do plug it into the charger.I tested if my phone was really off by calling it but its not considering that it doesn't go straight to voicemail, it just continues to ring then goes to voicemail after the normal duration of not picking up.Lastly, one thing I notice is that the backlight of the iphone 4 is still on for some reason, like a dim light thats only noticable when you the lights are turned off. I know this is lengthy but I'm in need of help on pin pointing the issue. Any feedback would be much appreciated thanks!
I have a 2012 Mini Cooper with a "standard" stereo. I used to plug my iphone 4 into the cord provided by Mini and it played my music & podcasts. Now, with the Lightning to 30 pin Adapter to connect my iPhone5, my music is now only coming out of 1 speaker and the phone information will not appear. I do not have Mini Connect. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions? Thanks.
I'm having a few problems with the sound of my iphone 4s. I sometimes receive a tone when a text message, email/alert comes through but not all the time. My ringtone also doesnt work all the time. I rang my mobile off work phone and it one rings then automatically goes to voicemail. My phone shows a missed call but it never actually made a noise. Have read quite a few posts on similar issues but mine seems to play my music through my phone fine (at the moment anyway). I'm concerned incase it affects my alarm as it's my clock for work. Through my headphones I can hear when a message comes through and also it rings. Any ideas on what it could be/how to fix it? Thanks x
Happy New Year to everybody! I have an iphone 4. I checked the questions regarding Viruses on iPhones, but could not find the same case as mine.Around Christmas, I downloaded a few apps and deleted some of them again. Among those I kept were the Rummy Lite and Klatsch +.After some games of Rommé a small box with ads appeared with no option to close it. It does not hinder to play, but disturbs.I noticed that it disappeared sometimes after I put the iphone on flight modus (coincidence?). Until now I thought it's ads from the Rommé app.Now this: I played several times the Klatsch + app without any problem, but since today, I get exactly the same box with the same ads. I'm afraid to have a virus...I read this could happen on jailbreaked iPhones. Mine is not jailbreaked. Well, is there any competend help out there? THANKS A LOT! Smem78

The current iOS version is 6.0.2 (10A551) on my new iphone 5, with firmware version 1.01.00. The built in Music app is not functioning correctly. When I select and try to play an audio file, the selected track will show for 2 seconds and jump directly to the next track then it would come back to the playlist. No music is played, and I can't do anything to change this behavior. Any help?? Thanks...

I bought my iphone 4S in March 2011. There was some defect in the phone recently. I was not able to hear the ring tone of incoming calls, listen to music etc. I could hear the sounds with the headphone on. I went to the Apple dealer/ franchisee in Bangalore, India. They told me that it was a defect in the hardware and they were going to replace my phone with a new one and they did it promptly. I was lucky that the problem surfaced during warranty period. But what if it had happened in the post-warranty period? I would like to know from others based on past history and practices: Does Apple get such and similar defects repaired (for a charge) at their service centres or is that the end of that phone/tablet and one needs to buy a new one? Not sure how it works and a bit concerned. Would like some information in this regard. Thanks I love my iphone and iPad!
I recorded 2 voice memos yesterday on my phone, and they were there in the recordings list. I played one back. Today, they are both gone. What happened? Where did they go? Can I get them back?
I Got my 4S in October have had no problems until I watched a netflix movie on it. I kept it plugged in during the movie after that I noticed the battery indicator was stuck on 67%. I had it plugged in all night and it still stayed at 67%. I took it in to Sprint the guy closed all my running apps and did a reset on it. it seemed to charge while he had it plugged in with their cord. When I got home I tried to plug it in. it was cutting in and out of charging. I thought it was my cord cause it wasn't doing that at the sprint store. So i went to Radio Shack and got a new cord (apple brand). it's not doing it as bad as it was with the old cord but every few minutes i hear the tone that goes off when you first plug it in. I haven't ever got it wet and as far as i could tell it didn't over heat when i watch the movie. What could be wrong with it? Sprint says they can't do anything about it that i have to send it to apple.
Have downloaded free and legal music using Freegal Music app (5 free songs a week to members of Libraries which have subscribed to the Freegal Music service), and the songs can be played on the iphone 4 from the "My Music" tab of the Freegal Music app. Is there a way to transfer the music to iTunes on my PC so that I can sync the songs to my other Apple devices (iPod Classic, Nano)? There does not seem to be a way to download from Freegal Music site directly to my computer, or to direct Freegal to download music to anyplace other than the "My Music" tab of the Freegal Music app.
Hi everyone!. Well i preordered a iphone 5 and after a few days use i got what was a dead mic and had to get the phone replaced. Apple gladly gave me a new phone but it seems to have developed some sort of issue where any video recording i do seems to have alot of digital noise for some reason. even when the volume is low i still hear the noise but especially when the recorded video is being played a little loud it sounds terrible with the awful noise. What can i do?
