This is crazy...as soon is I posted my problem my phone started playing audio and now works fine. Took 3 hours or so from the time I upgraded to 6, but on its own just realized it wasn't connected to a dock and started working. Wish I could tell you what happened, but the only only thing I can gather from this is to wait...? Lol sorry

Okay I have this same problem but as soon as I posted my problem, my sound turned back on. But earlier when I updated it took like 2 and a half hours to even play sound. And when I try to turn my ringer up their are no buttons going up. It's weird. Also if I go and try to change my notification alerts it just vibrates. Hope my sound doesn't go out again seems like every time I restart my phone it goes off.

I got mine working by plugging in headphones,

Starting a song in the iPod app

Pausing it,

And then unplugging headphones and clicking play


All sound has returned to the phone, when I was updating it did stick for ages on the page with the apple logo and progress bar, I restarted my phone and then it resumed, anyone with the sound issue have this when updating?

So I have tried everything in this forum, hard reset, resetting, earphones, dock, moving the side button off/on still my iphone doesn't have sound, soo my last resort is going to my husband laptop and restore to original? cause I had just got this iphone 4s a week ago and haven't back it up or anything to icloud or itunes or nothing I know I will lose everything but all does apps that I payed how do I get them back? and if hooking the phone to the computer doesn't resolve it 😟 I'm soo frustraded I don't know what else to do.

I updated my New iPad first thing this morning and all went well till around 3pm PDT when WiFi started going completely bonkers. By the time I got home around 5pm, WiFi was working fine again but now I have a even weirder issue - sound works as long as my iPad is on but when it turns itself off, NO notification alerts of any kind show up. However, if it is turned on, the alerts work fine.....very strange.

I have tried all of the above on my iPhone 4S, with no resolve. I can adjust audio when the headphones are plugged in. Upon removing the headphones, i see the ringer icon without the bars below that indicate levels. Did not have this issue when upgrading an iPhone 4.


When starting Passbook, I also receive the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" on both the iPhone 4 and 4S. Access to the store is available through the App Store icon on my home screen.


Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have the same issue, no sound for anything and no volume bar. The ringer works an my alarm goes off when it's suppose to, but my apps have no sound, and if I just want to change the ringer volume with the volume buttons, it works when I use them, I just can't see how loud or quiet I set it to unless I go into sound settings. There is no sound on like you tube videos and there is no volume bar to even try an adjust it. I tried resetting by holding down the power button and home button at same time, that didn't fix the problem, I also tried using the whole clock/alarm deal, and that didn't work. Some people said after they posted their problem here, it fixed. Hopefully it works for me, otherwise, if anyone has any other suggestions, let me know.
