IPad 3 Volume Control says Sound Effects and won't adjust
Regardless of the mute button/orientation lock whenever I push up or down on the volume control buttons on the side of the iPad, the Volume indicator that lights up in the center of the screen says "Sound Effects" and there are no bars below it to indicate the actual volume, and it will not change. If I double press the home button, and swipe right to the dimmer/volume/play controls, the volume bar doesn't even show up in its location there. I'm thinking that the kids changed something in one of their games. And turning it off, or even doing the hard reset of pushing the home and off button simultaneously doesn't clear the problem out.
Greetings!
I just now followed the advice above, and solved my problem by using a different charging cable.
Must be lucky that the old charging cable is "dorked", and not the internals of the iPad!
The indication of a bad cable, I guess, is that the sound controls fade out after a few seconds with it connected, but they do not do so with a good cable.
Thank you for the shortcut to happiness, easytiger!
BTW, some folks also say that the problem may be related to using a non-Apple charger or cable; my "bad" cable is non-Apple; the good one is the original (albeit too short) cable that arrived with the iPad.

my 5 yr. old turned off the volume on my ipad. when I hit the volume buttons it just says "sound effects" and does not go up or down
I had the same problem- go to Utilities, General, Use Side Switch To, and change it from Mute to Lock Rotation- this solved the problem for me.
Good luck! -
Volume button says sound effects, no sound.
I Can not get the sound to come through on my ipad. It works with head phones. It was working a few days ago. My volume buttons say sound effects. It used to say volume?
Hello Skeetercove,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue of having no audio output from your iPad's speakers. Please note that even though the steps state it's for iPhone, the same applies to your iPad.
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.

Why isn't my IPad 2 volume going In and out? Sometimes the volume squares won't come up and when I have headphones in it doesn't work the volume will work for 1 second amd then boom it's gone again! I've tried updating, restarting, and the mute bottom isn't on I've tried everything, but nothing is working. Can someone please help thank you.
I have the same issue that the international keyboard (globe icon) is not accessible once I updated to ios 7. I am attempting the restore from iTunes, but receive:
"Find My iPhone must be turned off before “xxxxx iPhone 4S” can be restored."
Of course, I am unable to access this setting on the iPhone. From my Mac I entered iCloud and tried changing setttings and erasing the phone from the Find My iPhone there, but it did not turn the feature off on the phone.
Any suggestions? -
Ipad volume button only says sound effects
Not sure what happened but my volume button does not operate now on my ipad 2. When I unlock it and try it, it says sound effect. I have tried all the common remedies posted to no help. Only sound I can get is from the headphones. Please help me.
Nevermind about the help. I spoke to a friend and he suggested taking Q-Tip, removing part of the cotton, put a little rubbing alcohol on it, then insert it into the headphone jack. Clean it several times. Then also do the same to the charging port. Not sure which fixed it but it works properly now.

When using side buttons, volumes says sound effects
Not sure what happened here. Is it a mistake by a 3 year old or a bug issue. Started about a month ago that when i open apps that have sound the volume goes mute, meaning sound and keyboard and lock too. Even when i close the app down and open say a video type app, there will be no sound. I will push the side buttons and the gray box that should say volume says sound effect. I have already done the reset with holding home and lock buttons, can't remeber how many times. I have also reset the iPad, i have synced it too. Please help
Try this - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

Sound is not working properly ? The volume button keeps saying sound effects when it's pressed .

Hello Hartnett01,
Thank you for the details you provided regarding your audio issue you are experiencing on your iPad. I found a couple of resources that I think might help.
First, I recommend following steps in the following tutorial to address an issue like this (you can skip step 2 "Recharge iPad" because it's not related to this issue):

If the issue persists, I recommend reviewing this article next (the title of the article refers to an iPhone, but the steps still apply to an iPad):

Suddenly most of the applications have no sound and I can't adjust the volume, and when I try with the volume button, appear the message "sound effect" and nothing append
Hello, Miryam Maria.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you are experiencing issues with sound on applications when playing video/audio content. If this is the case, the first thing I would check is if the side switch is set to silent as this can cause applications to be mute. Below I have included an article that covers adjusting the settings for the side switch. Also, make sure to close all applications in Multitasking and power cycle the device. Test the sound issue after processing these steps.

When downloading a song it says its waiting and won't fully download
When downloading a song on my iPhone is says its waiting and won't fully download.
Are you on an ipod or an ipad? If so, then you may have to go onto your itunes on your computer and re-sync it to the device, that should fix the problem.
If, by chance, you are on your computer when this happened, try doing the vice versa and still plug the device into your computer and transfer purchases from the device. That should work!
Best Regards!

I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5 when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through . My Sound effects and music can be heard. First I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it. everything sounds great in preview but then ( once again)I lose my audio from my movie clips.
Try Mixing Down the audio before export.
This info may help;

I updated my first generation iPad to version 5.1.1 and won't go past the setup screen that asks if I want to use the iPad locator. I can go back but can't get any further
I just updated my original iPad 32 GB WiFi to iOS 5.1 about fifteen minutes ago. But I did it with the system restore feature in iTunes. So it wiped out everything on my iPad. But it did work. Then I restored an earlier backup and all went fine. Maybe you could try backing up your iPad and then using Restore to get it back to factory settings to see what happens.

Problem finding my sound effects and music in final cut pro X
I am having a problem finding my sound effects and music in final cut pro X. I just bought a new i
Mac, because my Mac pro died. when I was using the mac pro, I had final cut Pro X loaded, and in the Music and sound library, I had stock tracks from APM music that came with final cut. now that I have loaded final cut to my new computer, I do not see those tracks. Am I missing something?The FCP X sound effects were an additional external download and were not kept in the FCP X application.
You probably need to re-download them.
In the FCP menu at the top left of your screen you will see the download link. -

Ilife Sound Effects and Final Cut Pro Sounds are not appearing in Final Cut Pro X anymore!?
Hello,
I am new to the app Final Cut Pro X. And recently when I have gone into the Music and Sound Folder in final cut pro the option for Ilife Sound Effects and FCPX Sound Effects do not appear. I have read other forums and they have said to drag the sound files into FCPX but that isn't even a option. It onlt has iTunes options, please reply back someone this is stressing me out. I don't know if it is because of Mavericks or whatever but it is driving me insane and I need help!
This is what it looks like .This is a known issue in FCP X 10.1 and you will find many posts about it in the forum just do a search. Several solutions have worked for different users. Try the following:
1. Open and close GarageBand then relaunch FCP
2. Open and close iPhoto then relaunch FCP
3. Close and reopen FCP
4. Trash FCP preferences then relaunch FCP
Any one of these may work. Just try them in any order. Be aware the problem may recur. -
Lately, I've been editing and making videos for a local church in Mexico. I am not selling any of the videos. The are free to watch. However, is it permissible to upload a video with music, sound effects, and video effects from imovie? I using imovie version 10.0.2
This question comes up from time to time.
There are a number of con-men who think that they can earn a quick buck from claiming that they own the copyright to Apple’s royalty-free jingles and sound effects included with the iLife applications. These are all free to use, as clearly stated in section 2.C of the iLife Software License Agreement:
“You may use the Apple and third party audio content (“Audio Content”) contained in or otherwise included with the Apple software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual samples, sound sets, or audio content may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound files, sound effects or music beds.”
