How to turn off mic so that sound will come out

So when my wife turns her volume up its says microphone how do I fix that if there is no microphone in

Are you refering to the messages that appear when accessing secured sites? In that case the following Apple document may explain a bit more (and I believe you cannot turn off that behaviour) :

How to turn off the touch interface sound?

Model: HP Touchsmart IQ826t
Finally get to use this machine the way it was intended now that Windows 8 is out, but the touch interface sound is bothersome. Seems as though it should be the easiest thing in the world to turn off.. but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Ive searched the web high and low..even seen others ask this same question with no response whatsoever.
How do I turn off the touch interface sound?? (the 'beep' sound made when my finger makes contact with the screen) Ive tried going to the now updated 'Pen and Touch' (previously HP Touchsmart Configurations) settings under the 'Hardware and Sound' in the Control Panel and..nothing.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can I turn off my iMessage so everything will come through as SMS??

My husband and I both have an iPhone 4. We have unlimited text, a limited amount of data and do not have wifi. So I figured if I turned off my iMessage I could conserve on my data, but then I don't receive any my husband (and possibly others') texts. This doesn't seem right to me. I figured everything will just come through as an SMS and not use my data.
If anyone has suggestions or of knowledge of how this should work or what I can do I would appreciate it!!

I'm completely fine with data usage if I choose to send pics.
But if I have my iMessage off I can send a text my husband and he will receive it, but I do not get the texts he sends to me.

[SOLVED] Sound will come out of the speakers, but not the headphones.

So, the headphones won't play any sound (they work with my phone, not on my laptop) when plugged in.
When the headphones are plugged into the jack, the speakers mute, so I know that the laptop is registering that they got plugged in, but still no sound comes out.

No sound will come out of the right headphone, but they work on my other devices..is this a common problem for the classic?

Two headphones are now in limbo due to a strange curse my iPod Classic 160Gb seems to hae. Affter a couple of weeks, sound will cease to emit form the right headphone unless i jiggle the plugs cable around. Funny thing is, my headphones work fine on other devices..Is this a common problem?

I tried to update my driver and it works fine now, I appreciate looking through this forum and finding answers for problems that I am having.

Find my iPhone: How to turn off a Pending "Play Sound"?

So I'm at work with my iPad, and my Macbook Pro is at home. On my iPad, I launched "Find my iPhone." As expected, it couldn't locate the MBP because that machine is currently powered down.
So, (because I like to experiment with user interfaces) I tapped "Play Sound". I assumed nothing would happen, since the MBP is powered down. But now the app is displaying: "Pending: Play Sound".
I assume that this means that when my wife comes home from work and powers up the MBP, she'll be blasted with an annoying sound. (Then she'll be startled, drop the computer, crack the screen, trip over the dog and break her leg.)
It seems unbelievable to me that I can't "revoke" this pending "Play Sound" in the meantime. But I can't figure out how to do it. Any suggestions?

Try removing the device from device list in Find my Mac.

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1.3 no sound will come out from my earphones , the weirded thing is I can function everything from earphones even voice command but no sound will come out I tried the earphones on another device they function great

It's a sad thing to happen but updating to iOS 6.1.3 made sound go away from my earphones tried several ones and none worked but the phone react to earphone commands and mic but won't bring out sounds and all earphones are working perfectly on other devices and I devices , please help me out with this issue

You say you have no sound in the earphones. Often that is caused by having the earphone plug not in completely. The "little noise" is there even when the earphone is not completely put in. But for sound/music it must be in completely.

I have the iPhone 5s. My ringtone works, my YouTube videos work. When I go to watch an Instagram video or play my music I have purchased on my phone, no sound will come out. The volume is up and is not on mute.

I'm experiencing problems with my sound. My ringtone works, my alarms work, my you tube videos play. But I can not get
My music that I have purchased to play nor will my Instagram videos make any sound but the video does play. My volume is up and the phone is not on mute..

Hi shanny202.
Really strange problem you have there. I have a few questions though.
Please try again and try to make the phone as a new without restoringen with you iCloud-data or backup-data from iTunes. Maybe it is something wrong with the data (strange).
Anyway, i think you should call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, don't forgot to make a Genius Bar reservation.

Does anyone know how to turn off the notifications that pop up in the upper right corner telling you that you have just changed from one configuration to another -- e.g. changing from tent mode to tablet mode?

Just disable it -

Next time you start your computer no more annoying pop ups. If you want to be annoyed again you can always re-enable it.

How to turn off sound when iMac starts up

how to turn off or turn down sound when my imac starts up

debrafromusa,
This would be an extremely bad idea, the start up tone is there for a reason. It tells you when your system is attempting to boot, it is also necessary in the even resets like a PRAM reset are done. There is software to mask the sound however as stated it is a very poor idea.
Also, why turn it off. Why not simply put the display to sleep when the machine is not in use. You can easily do that in System Preferences - Energy Saver
