Alert volume sounds keep turning off by themselves, no alert sounds

seems to happen after restart. I don't have "things.app".

Open up a new account to check if your issue happens there.
Check your alert settings in System Preferences/Sound then disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run _*Repair Disk*_ from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select *Disk Utility.*
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click *First Aid.*
Click _*Repair Disk.*_
Restart your computer when done.

  • Ipad keeps turning off and no sound

    ipad keeps turning off apps and going back to main screen.  the volume is turned up but no sound

    For the apps crashing try this ....Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • My ipad 2 keeps turning off and on

    So my little brother is playing with my ipad 2 and he keeps playing until the battery is drain to 5%, when I try to charge it, it turns off(or shut down), normally I think it is common 'cause of the drained battery, but when I charge it, the big battery logo with red lines(indicating that there's only few battery power left) showed up( I think it's charging) and without turning it back on, the apple logo showed up, and I think it turn on automatically, but when the moment it turn on, it keeps turning off again...This problem keeps repeating from the big battery logo and turning off again.
    I dont know how this is happening, This is the first time this happened.
    The only reason I'm thinking is, "does my ipad battery or my charger is slow in charging and when it charged a few percent of battery and turn on again it drains the charged battery again?" Any help is appreciated, And sorry for my bad english( english is not my mother language). Thanks in advance..

    Hi GreeD28,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You explained the situation very well, and it sounds like you are seeing this image flash on the screen when charging your iPad:
    If so, you may just need to let your iPad charge for longer before using it, as explained in this article:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    This image means that your device is charging.
    It's important to note that if the battery is extremely low on power, your device may display a black screen for up to two minutes before one of these images appears. Continue charging for at least 30 minutes, or until your device is fully charged.
    If you have charged your iPad and it still shows the screen above or turns off after the Apple logo appears, try these troubleshooting steps next:
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Individual cell data buttons for each app keep turning on by themselves?

    I have a 4S iPhone, OS 7.0.6, and my problem is that the individual cell data buttons for each app keep turning on by themselves. I'll go in and turn them all off and the next time I look (whether in 5 min or 5 hrs) they are all turned back on again? I want to leave my cell data on so that I receive my iMessages but usually don't want everything else turned on until I get to a wifi zone. I used to be able to keep them all off until  I did  the last couple iOS updates. Help!

    Hey there Tylyssanna,
    It sounds like your cellular data options are not saving correctly. I recommend starting by turning off Cellular Data in Settings first. Then close all the running apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone, turn it back on, and test the issue again:

  • How do I fix my iPhone 4 that's keeps turning off and on

    My phone keeps turning off and on. It will show the boot logo and it will dim like its going to the lock screen, but then it will show the loading wheel when turning off. Then the process repeats. I trued restoring but in recovery mode its gets error 21 at the step of getting iPhone ready to restore.

  • IPhone 4S latest software keeps turning off

    My iPhone 4S was overheating a week or so ago, I was holding it and it got awfully hot so I put it down and left it for a few hours.
    A day ago, it turned itself off out of nowhere, I turned it back on and when I went to use it, it would keep turning off and on and freezing,
    Finally today it wont turn on, it gets to the start up part (black with white apple logo) and freezes and wont get any further.
    Help?

    Hey,
    Thanks but all ready tried that.
    I took it to apple and its a problem with the latest software update, it wouldn't even let apple run a diagnostics.. It fried the whole thing lol. Caused from the battery so be sure to check your battery guys :)

  • IPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down.Have done system restore but no improvement. Suggestions welcome.

    iPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down. After numerous attempts I've managed to get it on again. Any ideas - could it be battery? Suggestions welcome.

    Try forcing the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device.
    Follow these steps:
    iOS: How to back up your device and setup as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    Doing this will help eliminate any possible software issue that could be causing this. Setting up a new device will bypass a backup with possible data corruption.
    If the issue continues after this, you should contact Apple for service for the phone as it will very likely be a hardware issue.

  • Why does my ipod nano keep turning off

    Hello

    What do you mean it keeps turning off?
    Perhaps it's an issue with the headphones. Make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning there is no silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  You should hear a sort of popping/clicking noise when you have fully seated the headphones.  If that isn't the case, make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris.
