All of a sudden the only way to get sound on the apps and also mail is to plug in earphones.  The sound is gone

unable to get sound on my ipad unless I plug in earphones.  I reset everything - sound is set to on. No changes have been made. Just no sound.

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.

    Thanks for responding....but isn't your potential solution designed for Windows users? I have a Mac.
    If it does apply to Mac, I am also hoping for something simpler as this could take weeks to isolate the problem and it would be more efficient to use another browser for mail
    Also, I should have added, this problem occurs only occasionally and seemingly only when I am taking some time to compose a message

  • My 3rd generation ipad even though my battery is at 100 % the screen goes black after sitting for more than 15 mins. The only way to get it to come is by resetting the ipad. Is there a fix for this. It all started after the last two updates.

    Try a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

  • My video needs to go on a SD DVD single layer-it is 1h 51m long-the only way I can make is fit is encode H. 264-not ideal-I am using the Share option in FCP-native media was shot 980x720...any other way to do this??

    My video needs to go on a SD single layer DVD…it is 1h 51m long…the only way I can make it fit is encode H. 264…not ideal…I am using the Share option in FCP…native media was shot 980x720...any other way to do this??

    To play on DVD Players, it has to be MPEG2.
    It's under 2 hours; I'm surprised it won't fit. If not, get Compressor and lower the bit rate to fit.
    The native resolution was 980X720…you mean 960?
    It will all be resized to 720X480, which is DVD standard.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check that the HDMI cable is correctly seated at both ends.
    Try disconnecting the cable and connecting it again.
    Try another HDMI cable.
    Make sure your TV supports 720p (Apple TV 2)

  • I have installed mackeeper on my iMac and ia show 1945 issues, is subscibing to mackeeper the only way to get rid of these issues

    I have installed Mackeeper on my iMac an it shows 1945 issues, and they have used 700+ GB of hard drive space, is subscribing to Mackeeper the only way to get rid of these issues?

    Those are not real issues. I tested the MacKeeper trial on a freshly-installed OS X 10.8.2 system, with absolutely nothing added to it, and it identified almost as many "junk files." They're not really junk, you're being scammed to convince you to pay the money to buy the program so you can "fix" the "problem." There have been many reports that allowing MacKeeper to "clean up" your system can actually destroy it, requiring reinstallation.
    MacKeeper is to be avoided at all cost. For more information, see Beware MacKeeper. Remove it according to the instructions here:

  • Is the only way to get your money back for unauthorised purchases to go thru the lengthy email customer support process?

    I want my money back and I want it now. Why doesn't apple have a phone number for urgent account problems? i got an overdrawn fee from my bank, I checked the transactions and found apple iTunes charged me 11 times in one day with the total amount being over $170.00!!!!! The only purchases I made that day were a few $1.29 inapp purchases. How do I get my money back??? And why don't they have a phone number you can contact. This is an urgent problem because not only have they charged me over $170 & Ive got a $30 overdrawn fee there are MORE transactions from apple on my bank account that are "pending". These transactions are of a similar amount & they are not for anything I have purchased! i have been forced to cancel my credit card to stop apple from doing anymore but I want my money back!

    Thanks but unfortunately I don't have that option (I'm im Australia) so this will be day 8 that apple have my money without authorisation. The amount has now increased due to the transactions that were pending prior to me cancelling my credit card. The total is now over $300 including the overdrawn fee. It is beyond comprehension that a company the size of apple doesn't have a *real* customer service dept that handle these types of *real* problems immediately via phone contact but I guess that's the point isn't it? If we want to use the apps they provide thru their services and devices we have no choice but to put up with their primitive third world service. I sent them an email via the link you provided 4 days ago. There is no excuse for me to be STILL waiting for this problem to be resolved - none whatsoever, it is disgusting. Thanks for responding I had a feeling that was the only way to get this resolved, only it is so unbelievable I had to make sure.

  • When I take my phone off charge in the morning I get an info box on the front which has the sound trumpet icon with a line through it and the word Mute.  The only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone any ideas as to how I can stop this happening?

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

    Hello:
    Try three things (if you have already followed my first suggestion):
    1.  Reset the PRAM.
    2.  Reset the SMC.
    3.  Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.

  • HT1551 when we try to watch a purchased show like The Good Wife - the program freezes and the little circle goes around and around - the only way to get the program going is to rewind or fast forward to jump start the movie again. Help!

    When we rent a show like The Good Wife while watching the show it freezes and the little circle goes around and around. The only way to get the program going again is to use the remote and go forward or backward. This happens throughout the whole show and it is impossible to watch. Can anyone help? We cannot watch movies or shows this way.

  • HT1338 why does the only way to get on wireless interent is airport?

    Why does the only way to get on wireless interent is airport?

    Airport is the trade name Apple uses for WiFi.  The Mac built-in WiFi hardware is called Airport.  The Apple manufactured WiFi base station(s) router are called Airport Extreme and Airport Express (the Apple Time Capsule is also a WiFi base station/router).
    A Mac can connet to other manufactures WiFi base stations.
    You can also connect to a WiFi bridging device via ethernet and get WiFi access that way, although BDAqua's suggestion of a USB WiFi device might make more sense if it is a Mac laptop.
    If you are NOT talking about WiFi, and perhaps talking about using the cell phone cellular network, then you can use Bluetooth to pair your Mac with a cell phone that has the ability to act as a cellular modem for your Mac, you can get a MiFi device that acts as a local WiFi base stations and connects to the Cellular network, and you can get cellular USB devices that can provide cellular connections for the Mac.
