P button working as the volume button??
Hi
I bought my mac book air three months ago, and in the last two days every time I press the 'P' button on the keyboard, it either birngs up the 'mute' volumesign or the volume at 'max' sign.
As you can guess very annoying. Has anyone any ideas what could have happened and how to fix this?

My phone is 2 months out of warranty, it's never been dropped or miss used yet the past week every day something has gone wrong with it. First the lock button stopped then the side volume buttons. Then the head phone port when I putt headphones in the phone turns the volume
Down automatically and it won't turn up until I take my headphones back out. The battery lasts 4 hours max after a full charge and today I took my phone off the docking charger and all my music has gone! The phone is breaking down more and more everyday what is going on! I know people who have had there iPhones years an non of this happen! I still have a year left on my contract too!Who is your carrier and what is your coverage with them? If you are with say Verizon, and have Total Equipment Coverage or Extended Coverage, they will swap it out for you under Manufacturer Warrantee.

It is clean, it has not been close to water or something similar, it just stop working =/
My problem is fixed now, thank you. It was caused by my changing the Boot Camp partition's 'RAID1' to 'RAID0'. If I hadn't done that, Boot Camp would still have been able to 'restore' back to the one partition. It was fixed with the help of Applecare by using a terminal and typing a command to erase the IP of the Macintosh disk (not the volume) as well as the IP of the Bootcamp partition (if I remember correctly), but then I had to restore the OS and all my applications and data etc which I had previously backed up using Time Machine. I haven't taken note of the exact command terminology used. It would be wise to speak to Applecare about this if possible.
Two words of warning, 1. According to the cause of this problem, it might be wise, after reinstalling the ops system to reinstall all extra applications one by one, manually, in case a similar problem arises again. Then manually copy back all data. Or the Mac user could use the Time Machine backup and then uninstall all the added apps then re-install them one by one manually. 2. Beware as after all this the user might not have the 'Recovery partition'. There is a small recovery partition (a few 100 Mb is size) which comes with all later Macs. After all this is done this tiny partition might not be there anymore and the user might have to re-install Mavericks again to get it back, or just install the upcoming update of Mavericks due in a month or so. -

Sound is not working properly ? The volume button keeps saying sound effects when it's pressed .
Sound is not working at all now , when you press the volume button it says sound effects but nothing is happening
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):
Frozen or unresponsive iPad
https://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/ipad/
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):

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Satellite U500 - The volume buttons do not work
Hello
I just bought a Toshiba Satellite U500 two days ago, and already having problems :(
It has a touch sensitive control buttons, which includes the eco utility, media buttons, and volume control (+ and -)
The volume buttons do not work, and sometimes the computer freezes upon touching them. Once I touch the -, it keeps turning the volume down until it reaches zero, and even if I turn it up using windows, it returns to zero (like if the button is still being pressed). The + one doesn't work at all.
Please help. Any way to reinstalle their drivers ?
The only solution I found is to disable them using HWSetup...Solved.
I just had to uninstall the Toshiba Common Modules, and reinstalled them. It worked.
I hope it doesn't happen again. -
My iphone4 is 2 and 1/2 yrs old, works fine other then the volume buttons just stopped working all of sudden. This function not working means I cannot hear people very well when they call because I cannot turn the volume up and when watching footage i.e. music video or film, I cannot turn volume up or down. This has meant I cannot use my phone like I used to, therefore not fit for purpose. Questions is - Is Apple, under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 obliged to repair/replace my phone for free?
When I went into my Bromley store today I was told because the phone is not under the 12 month warranty Apple could not help me or I could pay in excess of £100 to get phone repaired, is this right?sunshinesunshine wrote:
So basically if a iphone has a fault after the 1 year warranty period is over, there is nothing the consumer can do but purchase a new phone??
Pretty much. Except that Apple will replace it for a fixed fee that is far less than the cost of a new phone. In the US the replacement cost for an iPhone 4 is $149. It is comparable in the UK. Unless you can prove that the fault was present at the time of purchase. A switch wearing out would probably be considered normal wear and tear, not a "fault". -
i dropped my ipad mini and the left side got dented .. so the volume buttons and the mute is not working anymore .... and when i am playing games the volume automatically goes up... i still have warranty .. so does apple replace a new one?
Steven ~ Welcome to the Support Communities. The following may be useful for next time...
AppleCare+ for iPad extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPad and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee. Note: AppleCare+ must be purchased within 30 days of the date you bought your new iPad.

I went to turn my app on that plays my music at night while I sleep and the volume buttons on the side of the phone don't work. The volume slider isn't even showing up on the screen in any of the apps that have audio available. I have restarted the phone numerous times, looked in settings, made sure my phone is up to date, and made sure that the "silent switch" is on. I checked to make sure that I can hear the alarms I have set go off, but the volume isn't working any where else on the phone.
Do the basic troubleshooting steps: Restart, Reset, Restore using a backup, Restore as new. (See User Guide, Appendix B)

The volume buttons dont work after installing mountain lion
Yesterday I installed Mountain lion. Now the volume buttons don´t work. When I press them the volume don´t change. I tried to change in the system settings, but all selections there can be made.
By menu bar you mean the sound at the top of the screen?
That doesn´t work either, it´s locked. -

Warranty doesn't cover drop damage unless you purchased Apple Care +.
Some iPad users have been able to revive their dropped iPad. Turn the iPad over and give it a HARD SLAP on the back. May take several slaps.
