Albert: I can only help you with issue number 1; hence, anyone receiving this email is welcome to post on list or contact me privately respecting issue number 2; i.e., synchronization. The smart money says that you've somehow managed to toggle the recessed "silence" switch to the off position, which switch is directly above the volume up and down buttons. As you probably know, depressing that switch toward the back (non-screen) side of the unit turns off sounds, but it does not turn off the voice-over vocalizations, (thereby leading to some confusion among iPhone users). Bottom line, the smart money says that if you use your fingernail or a stylus to push the recessed toggle switch above the volume buttons toward the screen side of the iPhone, you'll get your sounds back. Hope this helps!

I recently acquired an iPhone 4 and was happily learning how to use it when the clicks and bloops stopped sounding. I have no idea how I did this, and I can't figure how to get them back. Any ideas out there? Also, I've tried to figure out how to sync it to my computer so as to download the music I bought with the iPhone through iTunes. Some help with either or both of these issues will be most appreciated. Thx, Albert VICUG-L is the Visually Impaired Computer User Group List.
