Lost "sounds" with iPad 4.2 update

Under "Settings" and then "Sounds" I have "New Mail", "Sent Mail", "Calendar Alerts", "Lock Sounds", and "Keyboard Clicks" all set to ON and yet there is no sound when I receive or send mail, set a calendar alert, enter my passcode, or type on the keyboard. I had all these sounds before I did an upgrade. What gives and how do I get them back?
Thanks!

Probably you have the former "orientation lock" switch in the "locked" position. With iOS 4.2.1 on the iPad this has been changed to a "silent" switch which silences system sounds like notifications, key presses, etc. Try switching the position of this switch.
The "orientation lock" function is now performed via a button on the multiple-tasking display. Double-click the home button to bring this up and swipe to the right to get to the new "orientation lock" button.

Lost sound on ipad, re-booted, checked settings, not working

I suddenly lost my sound on my ipad after refreshing a live feed. I have checked all settings, re-booted, etc and still no sound.

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. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 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.

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.

I lost sound with the last update, how can I get it back?

Working with Windows Vista home Premium. All worked before update to firefox 13.0.1. Other sound works but internet sound is gone.

Many sites use the Flash player for audio, as well as video. Could you review this article and see whether it helps? [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

Lost sound on iPad

Simce updating to os 8.0 I have lost all sound. There is no sound on any application.

Hello Michael,
Lets start with checking the settings if your iPad is mute. I would look at the side switch on your iPad and see if it set to mute or in Control Center. Check out the article below and see if that is the case. I will also add to make sure you update your iOS to the latest version as well to make sure all is good.

Lost Sound With Upgrade

No biggie but... when I upgraded to 10.4.9, all went well I except I lost my screensaver sound on all screensavers with sound. Reinstalling screensavers did not work. All other sound works fine. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks for in advance for anyone's time!

try upgrading to 10.4.10 with software update (>Software Update...)

Lost sound QT X after auto update

I just got this MacBook with Lion 0.7.5 and I had sound. It did an auto update and I lost audio and video on a particular website. I have a/v on youtube and I have audio on cd. Something is wrong. Can someone help? I'm trying to learn Apple, I'm more MS familiar. Thanks, breeze

Breeze, try taking the QuickTime 7.6.6 download. It's the older 32-bit player that can work with almost every audio/video codec available - and many of the files used on various websites can be made to work if you get the correct codec packs.
Right now there is a whole change happening and one of the updates you took may have flipped a settings switch somewhere.. DO be mindful that Mavericks 10.9 IS FREE and if you do take that upgrade, you will absolutely WANT to re-install the QT7.6.6 asnd install all the codecs again, as 10.9 is now stepped up on the video to 64-bit processing and it's also embedded the playback function further down into the operating system, closer to the hardware level.. Ugh.
Here's the list to try, I've made this for the people with video issues in Mavericks, but all these options work well enough on every OS as far back as Tiger Mac OS X 10.4 (I have this installation package on one of my machines)
Start with QT 7.6.6. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
Get Perian, and install it. - http://perian.org
then VLC, - http://videolan.org
DivX - http://divx.com - and the
Flip4Mac package from Telestream - http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
A52/AC3 downloader: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21875/a52codec - In this installer package there is an audio A52Codec.component. DO NOT USE IT! Throw it out and use the one that is linked below.
This is what I've put into my system and so far I've gotten every file to run fine, even my oldest videos.
These are codecs you should see.
In System/Library/QuickTime
     AppleIntermediateCodec.component
     AppleMPEG2Codec.component* (*optional if you've bought it)
     DivX Decoder.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
In your Home/Library/QuickTime/
     AC3MovieImport.component (you may or may not want this component, in some instances it causes conflicts. In my system, it doesn't. Who knows why? I don't.)
     Perian.component
For AC3 sound that is in most .mkv files, you need the A52Codec.component, this is the one you want, here:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34821905/A52Codec.component.zip - unzip the file and put the component into the System/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
Perian is a System Prefences control panel and set it so it doesn't check for updates, since it is no longer in development. (but still works perfectly)
Good luck!

No Sound with Texts after iOS7 Update

After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS7 I have no sound for incoming texts when my phone is sleeping. All other sounds ok. Tried my alarm with phone asleep and it works. Music plays after going to sleep. Haven't noticed anything else not working. When I wake up my phone the text message is there, but, no sound when it came.

It seems that the the new software (IOS 7.0.2 update) is not compatible with the hardware of a series of iPhone 4S. I also tried everything posted on these pages, none of them worked! I even tested after "Erase All Content and Settings" w/o any application installed; didn't help!
I learnt that there no an esy way to go back to 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 versions. These post has 45671 Views. So there are lots of us out there. I have created a facebook page to ask someone from Apple to answer!
We deserve an answer, right?

What is going on with this stupid machine

Machines are incapable of being stupid. Not so of their operators.
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Accessories for recording bird sounds with iPad Air?

I want to use my iPad Air outside to record bird and other nature sounds. I am looking for suggestions for microphones, etc. that could improve the quality of my recordings over the use of the built-in microphone. Thank you for any suggestions!

Hi. To use a high-quality external microphone you'll need a simple audio interface. Check out the single channel (mono) audio interface iRig Pro by IK Multimedia. The Pro version has a balanced mic XLR connection with phantom power for a condenser type mic. You'll need to choose a mic.

HT201270 Problem with iPad carrier settings update

I have done this update and now I get a repeat message to do it again every time I sync my iPad. How can I stop this happening?

I have exactly the same problem, I am in the UK on the O2 network. It is definitely a network provider problem, I can tell you exactly when this problem started for me. In the UK there was new legislation brought in to block the Pirate Bay domain.
Ever since the the carriers in the UK had to update their settings on their mobile devices this problem started and it seems to be absolutely no way to get it resolved.
I have tried, in vain, to get O2 to do something to this problem that they are unable to do so.

[Solved] Lost sound with xMonad

Hello,
I lost the sound when I run xMonad. When I run gnome everything works fine. Someone from the xMonad mailing list said I must be forgetting to start alsa or pulseaudio daemons. How do I do that?
Thanks!
