  • Need to silence email alert on iPhone 4? I go to settings>email>none (for no sound) and it still makes noise. No matter what I do to silence the email part it still alerts me. I need to hear me phone during the night so when my friend goes into labor I have to watch her other kids. Everyone has tried to help me w this but my bro says I should just do a restore but that means getting rid of 2, 000 photos which will be a pain. Any thoughts?
  • My iphone won't vibrate even though vibrate is turned on? I have an iPhone 3gs and it worked fine until I updated it (ios 6). My phone, when on silent mode, won't vibrate when I get a message. In settings, everything is turned on, the vibrate part is selected. When the button (above the volume) is not on silent and then is flicked down to silent (vibrate) mode, it vibrates. However, it does not vibrate when I receive a message? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
  • My iphone 5 will only vibrate and not ring. Yes, the volume is all the way up. I checked. I went into settings and choose a ringtone? All this phone does is vibrate. Any ideas on what the problem can be. I have tried turning the power off and restarting the phone still only vibrates and does not ring. It worked.
  • IPhone q: can you play music and silence all interruption alerts/calls? I have an iPhone 4 and am going to be using it tonight as a dance party DJ, hooked up to speakers. It's just occurred to me that I don't want the music to be interrupted by text messages or calls. How can I do this? Does iPhone 4 have airplane mode, and would that do the trick? Is there a way just to silence the alert so I could still SEE texts, but not have it interrupt the music?
