HOW DO I TURN THE SOUND OFF!!!

It seems like every other time I start my computer, I have to hear the loud ping whe it starts, and the other annoying noises while I'm computing, often in quiet meetings and such. I always go into system preferences, click on the mute button and then return, but somehow it resets to NON MUTE soon thereafter. Anyway to stop it from talking?

Or plug an audio mini-plug into the sound out port (you don't even need to have the headphones still attached to the plug). On my computer, the mini-plug diverts the signal away from the built-in speakers.

Hello John,
Try here....

Hope that helps some.

This is the stupidest question anyone has ever asked I'm sure. But how in the world do you turn the music off? If I just turn the sound off, then it doesn't want to work in other apps either and the music just goes on and on.

I have the dumbest question. Is there an off button just for the music? I can't get my music to stop playing. When I turn the sound off, the music goes on and on and the sound won't work on other apps. Am I doing something worng? Haven't had this thing very long.

No sound today. Maybe because I turned the sound off on a free game app but now don't know which one and probably deleted the app.

It's pamonvashon again (the person who posted the question). I fixed it so I'll tell you how in case it happens to you. I was correct. I went back and re downloaded the game, "Virble". At the beginning of the game o I used the buttons on the side of the phone to turn the sound off and on and the sound came on! A miracle! So beware of VIRBLE!!!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

How do you turn the cloud OFF on an iPhone 4s?

How do you turn the cloud OFF on an iPhone 4s? I don't use the cloud, but my phone keeps telling me there's not enough storage to back my phone up.

iCloud is probably being used to store your Contacts so perhaps you really just want to turn off iCloud backups. Use the Settings app.
Settings > iCloud > Turn off Backup
After you turn off iCloud backup be sure to initiate some other backup strategy. Backing up to iTunes is a good alternative.
