How do I get my volume to work?

I have the iphone4s and my volume won't work anymore. When I push the buttons on the side the little ringer icon shows up but not the little bar that tells you how high or low the volume is. Every now and then the volume will go on by itself but it only stays on for a couple seconds. When I talk on the phone it works and Siri works so it's not the speakers. Also I tried using a Bluetooth speaker and the volume doesn't work for that, but when I use an iHome it does work. Also when I FaceTime my volume works. But I can't play music or watch videos anymore.
I tried my headphones to see what would happen and at first they worked. But sometimes the music would stop and the same thing happened. There was no volume bar. So I unplugged my headphones and put them back in. That seemed to work and I just got used to listening to music like that. But these past couple days my headphones are hardly working and I'm so frustrated. Can someone please help with my problem.

Hello there, Fruitloops25.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
Learn more about troubleshooting iPhone hardware issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Without more information on your problem all I can suggest is:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

How can I get the volume to work on my ipad after the iOS 7.02 update?

The performance of my ipad plummeted after the iOS 7 and 7.0.2 updates. The apps crash and some do not work at all and worst of all, my volume does not work at all. Is there a way I can at least get the volume to work?
I was planning on purchasing a MacBook Pro but with all these issues I am reconsidering.

I have tried changing the volume both by using the volume buttons on the side and through settings. I have updated all the apps. Closed and reopened a million times hoping it was just a one time deal but I have had continuous problems since the update on my ipad.
I love the update on my iphone but for some reason the ipad did not adjust well. I really would like to get it fixed because I love my ipad but there is no use when the apps an volume do not work.

We have an iPad but can't get the volume to work?

Alright now if you are talking about issues using Safari, here a few things that you can try.
1. Quit Safari completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
2. 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.
3. Clear Safari. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

How do I get my volume control working again?

It works when I'm talking on the phone or on bluetooth. But it does not work when I'm on pandora or watching a video on intenet. No volume or no volume control.

Try restroing from your Time Machine backup. Also you should be connected to a UPS so in the event of power outages or brownouts you have enough battery time to do an orderly shutdown. Had you had a UPS connected you would not have had this problem.

Hold the FN key as you press F11 and F12 for volume up and down. If you'd like to have that as the default without the FN key then go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab > uncheck "use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys"

How do I get Front Row to work with Lion?

Hello fellow Mac users,
How do I get Front Row to work with Lion? I have an iMac 27 inch computer and is the sole entertainment provider for my bedroom. I refuse to put a TV in my room and wanted to know how to get Front Row to work again on my mac? It seems that the upgrade to Lion erased the app.
I have quite a few movies and series that I bought off iTunes and is a shame that I can't use a media center app like Front Row on Lion.

I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
Thanks!
Best,
Tony

How can I get my speaker to work again?

How can I get my speaker to work again? I've tried turning my phone off and on, hard reset, removing SIM, cleaning out dust, using the hair dryer, network reset, cleaning headphone port, made sure the phone was not on vibrate,and made sure "Change with buttons" was on. There was no liquid/moisture damage. I was watching a video on youtube and all of a sudden my speaker went out. If I tap on the speaker it goes in and out but does not stay on/loud.

Do you get sound in any apps e.g. in Music and Videos but not notifications or sound in other apps ? If you do get sound in Music and Videos then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If you don't get sound in any apps then have you could try a soft-reset to see if you get sound after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT2490 the "X" to close tabs on my macbook is gone how do I get it back to work again

the "X" to close tabs on my macbook is gone how do I get it back to work again

If you lost 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 control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

[SOLVED] how do i get laptop volume control to function?

On my toshiba laptop, my sound "works" however the rotary volume control at front of the laptop does not affect the volume. When I turn it the volume bar appears on the display but nothing happens. This used to work but I have been "playing" with my arch system to try and gain knowledge of arch et.al and now I have broke something and cannot remember how to revert back.
I am running kdemod(4.2). SystemSettings->Multimedia shows four "cards":
HDA Intel ALC268 (analog)
HDA Intel ALC268 (digital)
Esound (ESD)

p.s. I can only get sound of the Analog device. The "test" button doesnt do anything with the other devices selected.
