No sound effects on games or keyboard sound since downloaded 8.1.3 this morning on iPad airanyone any ideas pl ? 

no sound effects on games or keyboard click since downloading 8.1.3 this morn. At first no sound on anything then played about in setting and switched off and now no sound effects despite being on full volume. If I reset will I lose my games pl ?

I Think you have system sounds muted. Don't reset anything just yet.
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 or 8. 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.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.

  • Recently, I can't get any sound from my game applications.  Sound works fine with video, streaming, etc, but not my game applications.  I've tried powering down and re-booting, but the sound does not return.  Can anyone help me?

    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 control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • 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.

  • I am trying to sync games from itunes to my ipod but after the sync is finished the games are not on my ipod and on itunes they are no longer selected. any ideas?

    I am trying to sync games from itunes to my ipod touch. After the sync is done the games I checked to sync are no longer checked and nothing was actually synced. Any ideas?

    Are the apps/games compatible with your model iPod and iOS?
    Do you have restrictions set that prevent installing the apps? Settings>General>Restrictions
    Have you successfully synced apps from that iTunes library to your computer before?

  • My wireless keyboard is generating the wrong character for one of the keys.  Any ideas how to fix?

    My wire2ess key board is generating a 2 as you can see in the word wire2ess.  Any idea how to fix?

    Make sure that there is no entry in system prefs/language & text/text/symbol and text substitution which causes this.
    Try another keyboard.

  • Have a MacBook Pro with OS X.  Loaded windows 8 in bootcamp and lost trackpad. Keyboard will work if hit esc key at opening windows screen.  Any ideas? Microsoft has none.

    I loaded Windows 8 update on my MacBook Pro on the bootcamp partition and now my trackpad doesn't work on the windows side.  The keyboard works if I first hit the esc button at the opening screen.  Microsoft was no help.  I don't know how to delete the driver for the trackpad in OS X and reinstall to see if it corrects the problem.  Any Ideas?

    have found a temp solution now, before apple releases its update. this will make ur trackpad work but without any gestures and u'll have to press to select the left or right click.
    here's the solution.
    1. go to device manager
    2 locate ur trackpad and right click and choose to update the driver.
    3. select browse my computer for driver software.
    4 select "let me pick from the list of device drivers on my compuet".
    5 just keep pressing the "NEXT" button after that.
    thats its u'll have a working trackpad for now.

  • I cannot access Yahoo Games on my Mini after the latest Java upgrade. This has happened before. Any ideas? Thanks!

    When I try to access Yahoo Games Bridge the system will not allow me to download the applets necessary. This has happened before after a software update and it is a complete pain. I can go back to a old version of Java but the security is apparently not good. Any ideas? Thanks!
    Jack

    Thanks lllaass but I have enabled Java. I did manage to get into the site by setting the Java security level to the lowest setting. There was a warning but it did let the site load after I excepted the risk. Thanks again!

  • Can sound effects in game apps be fixed?

    I have a few game an puzzle apps.  The sound affects that come with them have stopped.  I had tinkered with my sound settings before this, but tried backtracking without success to fix it.  e.g. Angry birds, shanghai, shape puzzles.  Any solutions?

    You probably have system sounds muted.
    First check the side switch on the side of the iPad above the volume control. Try flipping the switch the other way. If you see the speaker icon when you flip that switch it was set to mute system sounds.
    If that switch locked the screen, then do this. Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar at the bottom. Swipe all the way to the right in the task bar. Look all the way on the left side and see if there is a speaker icon there. If so, tap it and see if the system sounds come on again.
    You can set the side switch to either mute system sounds or to lock the screen. Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Lock Rotation or Mute. Whichever function you choose for the side switch, the other function will be available in the task bar.

  • All of a sudden my iPhone 4 stopped giving out sound... I can change d ringtone n speaker works fine but no sound for incoming calls... No click sound... No keyboard sound...

    my iPhone 4 stopped giving out sound..

    On the left side of the phone above the volume + and - buttons there should be a toggle switch (silence switch) if you see orange/red that means your iPhone is in vibrate mode and will be quiet.
    Switch the toggle so it shows no orange/red and that should correct the issue.
    If you still get no sound after that you may want to check your bluetooth to make sure its not connected to another device (sound is being sent there) ...
    If that doesn't work, stick some headphones into the headphone jack and see if you can hear the sounds from the headphones... the device may also think there is headphones plug'd in which can also be the issue
    If the issue persists past that explore the option of restoring the device from the last time it did make sound and if that doesn't work you may need to contact Apple for other options
    Hope this helps!
    GL!

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard stuck at 100% charge, occasional disconnect even with fresh batteries. Any ideas?

    Hi all,
    I have an Apple Wireless Keyboard here I bought for my '09 Mac Mini, it's brilliant, love it. Problem is randomly a few months ago it started reporting my batteries as 100%, and I've not seen it report anything different for months now. Occasionally I'll get "connection lost" whilst the light on the keyboard is blinking as if it's trying to re-establish connection. I have a Wireless Trackpad which is working fine, reports the battery levels as normal and doesn't disconnect randomly. I've been replacing the batteries as disconnects happen and even with fresh ones it suffers from random disconnects.
    Am I right in thinking that this is a keyboard problem? It still works when it's not disconnecting (doesn't happen all the time). It's just annoying when I will be typing something fairly long and then suddenly I get disconnected!
    Cheers in advance.

    Alvin, I'm using Lion, but hopefully it's similar to Snow Leopard if that's what you're using. Hope this helps:
    Go in to System Preferences -> Bluetooth. In the page that appears, you'll see a white window showing your Bluetooth devices. At the bottom of this white pane, you'll see a +, - and a cog. Click the cog to bring up more options, and then click "Show More Info". The pane will split in to two, and show further information about your devices. Click your bluetooth device (such as your keyboard), and look at the setting of "Favourite" to the right. If this is set to "No", click the cog at the bottom left again, and click "Add To Favourites". Job done. You'll see the "Favourite" setting change to yes, and that's it.
