Having trouble with sound
My sound isn't working how do I fix it
Try the volume rocker on the side of the iPad. Are you sure that you just don't have the volume turned all the way off?
The sound/speaker icon that Alan is describing is for systems sounds - sounds from apps, games, keyboard clicks, email notifications.
This describes how system sounds can be muted.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds 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.

I am having trouble with sound on my iPad
I am having trouble with sound on my iPad
Found the fix.
If the reboot doesn't fix it.
If the headphoens work find, but no external speakers.
If the double-click and page right to the software mute, doesn't show the sound knob - just the brightness
If your pop-up shows "Docking Station"
Then, the problem is very likely a dirty connector. The iPad/iPhone/iPod connector uses a resistor value to determine if the device is connected to an external 'speaker'. There are a range of resistances, for a range of products. This is known as the Connector Pin 21 issue.
Take some windex on a que-tip, or perhaps a Windex paper scrub and rub it on the bottom connector port. Somehow, "something" has gotten on those contacts, and it is pulling the voltage on pin #21 down - so that the iPad "thinks" it's connected to an external speaker - this will disable the internal speaker circuitry, as well as the internal speaker volume controls.
Do not over-saturate and short out your iPad. Do not throw it in the sink, do not use the kitchen faucet to flush it out. A Que-tip with a few drops of Windex (or other gentle cleaner) should work just fine. Takes all of 30 seconds - and magically, the volume knob appeared and everything worked just fine. -

Same here, I get no sound from videos, text messages. This happens for a while, then it works again then it doesn't work. When I go to settings, my "change with buttons" is on but buttons don't work. I have restored it but there is no change. Here is a picture of my screen when i try to change volume.

Having trouble with sound quality
I have had this iPod Touch 2nd Generation for almost 2 years now, and I'm starting to have some troubles with it. The headphone sound quality is now starting to deteriorate. Unless the headphones are plugged in a specific way, either one bud goes out, or the sound quality goes down, as there is a lot of static and crackling, and I've had experiences with it actually shocking my ears while I'm listening.
I have tried a new pair of headphones, and this does nothing.
My iPod is obviously beyond the manufacturer's warranty, and it's up-to-date with the latest update. Is there anything I can do?Sounds like your headphone jack may need replacing.

Having Trouble with sound when hooked up to my Car stereo
I have hooked up my iPod to my car stereo and it sounds horrible. I dont know if the guy that did it, did it wrong but all support is telling me is that to hook it up with the cords i have. Any help from people? thank you
Does your ipod play through your car speakers.
Im guessing it does.
I am rather confident that your problem is solely thanks to the volume not being correctly done. To make it louder, use the car not the ipod.
Keep the ipod on a low volume.
Good Luck! -

Having trouble with sound when streaming videos on Netflix and Hulu
When I watch videos on Hulu or Netflix my audio is very bad (as well as my video). It stops and starts and has a horrible robotic background sound, like a speaker is blown (though I know that's not the case because the sound is the same through my TV when connected via HDMI cord). My audio and video files are all up to date... What can I do??
HI @MKC2287
Thank you for your response.
To try and rule out hardware as the issue here is a link to Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7)
Have you checked for viruses and malware? Malicious Software Removal Tool
You can try this step to try and find and repair corrupt files.
Go to the command prompt and right click and run as administrator
Type sfc /scannow and press enter.
You mentioned that it is generating a lot of heat so here is a link to Reducing heat inside the PC to prevent overheating
If the issue remains, you can try installing the original driver using the recovery manager
Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)
The next suggestion would be to do a full recovery back to factory.
Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7)
During the recovery there is an option to backup your personal files to prevent data loss. If you have not done one recently I suggest you do one now.
Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7)
Once this step has been completed, please run the HP support assistant to obtain any HP updates.
As you stated you are out of warrant and will not be contacting HP support for assistance you may wish to consider this option. Smartfriend Your 24/7 solution for technology problems

i'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?
What is the source & link to this 8 GB kit please?
Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

Having trouble with the sound!!!
Recently I'm having trouble with the way the music played by the iTunes sounds! I first thought I have moved the equalizer's settings but I didn't. Music sounds funny with echo.... I'm sure that's a problem of the iTunes because I have played the same song using Windows Media player and it sounds fine! Can someone help me please???!!!!
Can I just check.
You went to System Preferences (The Square grey icon with an Apple and Lightswitch or from the Blue apple menu top left) ?
Form the List of Preference Panes you choose Sound far right of the second row ?
And the Sound Effects tab in there ?
There should be a volume control for them in there and it need moving to the right.

I'm having trouble with my 'sound up' and 'sound down' keys. They're doing other functions. This is only a relatively new thing.
You didn't mention what those "other functions" were. That might help!
First thing to check is System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab - make sure "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" is un-checked. Hopefully that still works in Mountain Lion. -
Anyone having trouble with the sounds on your iPad since the recent update this morning. Do you know had to fix it?
First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... 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.

I am having trouble with my mac mini ethernet. It had been working for weeks after an update to SL 10.6.8.
Once it went out and i repaired it by defining a new connection from System Preferences ->Network->(left panel service, +).
But yesterday, after a power up. my ethernet was not working again. I tried this old trick to repair it, but the interface choices
listed for '+' a new service did not include Ethernet any more. And the Utilities->System Profiler->Ethernet Cards shows
no ethernet available.
As a last ditch effort i reloaded my original SL from DVD. (I think it was version 10.6.4 but i could be mistaken on the version).
The ethernet worked! But KeyNote wasn't going to work because apparently the version i purchased depends on 10.6.8.
So I upgraded again to SL 10.6.8 (Plus some other updates like AirPort which i don't use).
Now the Ethernet is not working again. I see the same symptoms as before with the Ethernet seeming not installed.
Is this a problem seen by others?
Would going to Lion fix the problem?
Could AirPort actually be the culprit and not SL?
If i stay with my original SL, would i need to repurchase a version of KeyNote for the older version of SL?Have you reset the SMC?
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again. -
I am having trouble with iMessage being activated. It has worked up until yesterday and now won't activate and is saying no address in the send and receive section. My number is there but not ticked. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I have shut down my phone, but still no luck!
iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.
