These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

    Hello Jimmy10 66,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to follow your alerts, and I want to help you get your work again.

    Before we get too far, it's always a good idea to check that your 'secret' button just above your volume controls is not engaged. If you see that the yellow indicator go ahead and switch to the other position to turn it off.

    Alternatively, you can drag up from the bottom of the screen and make sure that the control of "do not disturb" is disabled.

    If those who are for the time off, go ahead and restart your phone and retest alerts. If the behaviour continues or if you encounter any problems, please reach out again and let the community know what other steps you have tried. The entire community is here to help.

    Best regards

  • iPhone 5 s no ring or vibrate for calls after update IOS 10

    I have a 5 s iPhone that worked perfectly for over 2 years until I've done 10 IOS updated.  Now it won't ring or vibrate for incoming calls.  It will give sound advice for all applications, but not the phone.  I checked the switch on the side, the sound settings, the mute under accessibility, do not disturb and alert by phone settings.  Everything is as it should be to have audibles.  This phone was in a box of Otter for protection since I got it.  Any ideas of what anything else I could do to fix this?  Miss me him each call unless I happen to look at the screen.

    Have you tried to change the ringtone in the sounds? Try using set a different ringtone temporarily. In addition, with the phone unlocked, press the volume buttons on the side and see what shows on the home screen. You see the volume and it does not show ring or something else? You use a custom or purchased ringtone, or a ringtone native iOS? Some people have reported problems of ringtone on various devices when you try to use the House or purchased made ringtones.

Now, when that person calls, they can get through because the call comes under: No. CALLER I.D. I was not able to block using the normal method. Is there a way to block this type of call?

    Yes, you can switch not disturb on calls that are not in your Contacts list.

    See below:

    Configure not disturb. Go to settings > do not disturb.

    You can quiet schedule, allow the calls from your Favorites or contact groups and allow repeated calls to ring through these emergency situations. You can also set so not to disturb silence iPhone only when it is locked, or even when it is unlocked.

    If the above does not work, you must work with your cellular provider if they offer other options.

    At that time, there currently no provision for the establishment of special profiles to do not disturb. Once you adjust to demand, she will continue on this annex, until you stop it.

  • Can we get a feature "whitelist only" to only allow calls from contacts block all spammers?

    'Do not call' registry FTC does not work. With robo-callers and IP phones, basically any phone number that is not already on my list of contacts is a spammer.

  • No custom not to disturb School Board Profiles

    So I get it that the alarms are things that usually you want to hear even when a device is set to silent. It is also bad precedent to change the default values on a BONE. What I don't get is studied silence and lack of innovation Apple when it comes to places you might want to adapt a do not disturb the function of a social/business situation. A user must be able to create a profile and decide which sounds, or other means of alerting are accepted for a given through a multi selection list type. As today is a legitimate category of use cases are ignored. Or is there a function (except later with an alarm deactivation manually and enablment) that I'm missing?

    Currently, there is no possibility to change the profiles of do not disturb except calendar and what phone calls may be allowed through. All other alarms are silenced. Back to Apple goes here http://www.apple.com/feedback and click on the box in this area.

  • Do not disturb - allow notifications

    I never paid much attention to "do not disturb", as he always did what I needed.   However, now I need my security camera alerts allow.  Looks like I can only allow calls, email, texts of contacts, but no notification apps.

    Now my camera sends e-mails as well, and I was able to enable alerts by e-mail.  However, I want to receive notifications through again, because they are more reliable than e-mail (less the weakest).

    Thanks in advance

    I do not think that you will be able to authorize camera notifications to cross with DND on.

  • Ring with FaceTime calls problem

    I have in the ring when receiving a call on facetime

    OK, so what is your question? The telephone does not ring when you receive a facetime call? If that's what you say, you disturb not activated in the settings? You have cut off system sounds? You hear sounds of e-mail notification?

  • can make face time calls but not receive all

    I have an iMac and have tried FACE TIME, can I make the video connections, but no one can reach me.  I have his see anything in the preference that prevents me is their somewhere else that I should look at?

    I'm going to assume that you have checked each of these facts:

    FaceTime can make outgoing calls.

    b. you don't get calls to an email address or iPhone number corresponding to the Apple code that you are currently using. Calls to any other ID Apple that you may have used will not be received.

    c. the appellants are not on your list of blocking.

    (d) at least one of the callers can call other users of FaceTime - but not you.

    If you have verified these facts, please take each of the following steps you have already taken it. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.

    1. open the Notifications pane in system preferences. Select FaceTime from the list on the left. The banners or alerts alert style must be chosen - not None.

    2. in the same window, select do not disturb. If none of the three top boxes on the right is checked, then all FaceTime calls will be blocked in the corresponding conditions. If you want to use 'do not disturb', but you also want to receive calls when it is active, check or for both the two boxes below, according to your preference.

    3. If the built-in firewall application is enabled, please disable it. In case you are worried about the implications of this step, the firewall generally useless when you're on a private behind a router network.

    4. If you have installed any third-party 'firewall', 'security', or 'anti-virus' software, remove it according to the instructions of the developer. All these software are worse than useless.

    5. If you are connected to a VPN, you disconnect. You may need to remove some third party software VPN completely to solve the problem.
