Satellite A300-129 - Sound is muted and icon does not respond

Dear all,
I am trying to switch on the sound of my Satellite A300-129 after I had muted it a couple of days ago, but the icon does not respond.
When I click on the right mouse button, I can go to sounds etc., but "Open volume mixer" does not respond either. I have also tried to restart the laptop a couple of times, but that did not help.
What can I do? Your help will be much appreciated.
Heleen

>How do I do that safely without risking losing sound forever?
LOL You will not lose anything for ever. :D in worst case you will have to reinstall the OS using the Toshiba recovery disk.
Access the device manager -> mark the sound card -> use delete button -> reboot the notebook
After new reboot the sound driver should reinstall again and should detect the sound card.

My iphone went blank and when I plugged it into outlet the screen shows the itunes logo and a picture of what looks like the charger. I tried to reset it and it does not respond. Help!

My iphone went blank and when I plugged it into outlet the screen shows the itunes logo and a picture of what looks like the charger. I tried to reset it and it does not respond. Can anyone help?

That screen means it has gone into recovery mode. You need to connect to a computer running iTunes by following the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 for the procedure of recovery mode connection.

Firefox takes 6 minutes to load and then does not respond so what should I do?

After starting Firefox on my Mac (10.8) it takes 5 to 6 minutes to appear. A minute or so later the "Bookmarks and History system will not be functional because one of the files is being used by another application" message appears and Firefox either does not respond or responds very slowly to various mouse clicks and such. For example, I wanted to disable all plug ins and when I clicked on Tools and Addins it took three minutes for the tab to open and after 20 minutes still nothing had appeared on the tab. I've tried restarting Firefox, restarting the Mac, resetting Firefox to the default settings, starting Firefox in safe mode, renaming the places.sqlite file, uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling from a fresh download, performing a complete uninstall and reinstall in which I remove the Firefox folder from the Application Support folder after uninstalling, and relocating the plugins folder. I've tried just about everything in every Firefox support article that there is and nothing works. Any suggestions would be very helpful.Thanks.

Satellite A300 - Different sound in PSAJ4E and PSAG8E

I have two Toshiba Satellite A300. One is A300-15K (PSAJ4E) and has Conexant driver instaled. Second is A300-20E (PSAG8E) and has Realtek Semiconductor Corporation driver.
The sound comming from harman/kardon in the first is beautiful and in the second much worse. I tried to install Conexant drive in the second Toshiba but it doesn't work. I tried sound setup but without positive result. My system in both Toshibas is Vista 32 bit. Are there any possibilites to improve the quality of sound in the second Toshiba?
Thanks

>The sound comming from harman/kardon in the first is beautiful and in the second much worse.
Satellite A300-20E support HARMAN/KARDON speakers and Realtek sound chip.
The Satellite A300-15K supports HARMAN/KARDON speakers as well but it supports Conexant sound chip instead of Realtek sound chip.
The Realtek HD audio manager is installed on notebooks with Realtek sound chip and can be found in control panel.
There are different settings which could improve the sound quality.
The Conexant sound chip does not support such HD audio manager and I think this might be the reason for the different sound.

Loss of sound (Hard-reset and restore does not work)

Hi,
I loss all sounds on my iPad 2 (currently on iOS 7.04). This is the 2nd time I have had this issue (had it with an earlier iPad) and had to replace the previous one (out of warranty period). Very frustrating as it is about the same time period after purchase. Last time, it seemed like a repeated fault with the iPad and I cannot believe I have the same issue again on a different product. It is an expensive way of having to re-buy every couple of years for no other reason.
It did not happen immediately after an update i.e. it does not appear to be "update" or iOS version-related.
Anyone got any advice please? The facts are as follows (and what I have tried).
When it happened?
I was in iMovie editing a movie when all sound went from the speaker. It continued to work with earphones plugged in, but this is now intermittent. I have no sound on the speaker at all except for when I click sounds on the menu and change the level of ringer alert (which works on the speakers). This seems to tell me that it is a software problem. I have no sound on any applications or internet video or music from iTunes. I cannot survive on the earphones as they only work for a period of time and then they fail (until I take the jack out again when it works again for a period of time before the headphones fail again).
What have I tried?
a) Numerous hard resets
b) changing the side switch's position
c) changing in general settings the side switch settings from lock rotation to mute and back again (repeatedly and in reverse to see if it makes any difference)
d) resetting all settings - this made no difference
e) erase all content and settings - interestingly at the stage when it asked me if I wanted to restore from an iCloud account, it was making sounds (the keyboard clicks - which don't make a sound irrespective of the click setting currently) i.e. appeared to have resolved the issue and as soon as I restored my iCloud back-up, the sound went again.
I would be grateful for any suggestions. This post also includes a recommendation to Apple on improving its product (relating to iCloud backups) as the ultimate solution should not be paying for a replacement for a software issue (to avoid losing all my data permanently).
My musings are that:
a) it is definitively a software issue (on account that the speakers work in certain situations only)
b) it appears to be that the software is corrupted in my iCloud back up
c) it is an issue that happens regularly and is an avoidable issue/cost to Apple's customers that needs to receive higher priority in being addressed as it is built in redundancy for a significant proportion of customers. At the very least, iCloud backups should be capable of being restored in part - is there any way this could be done so we don't lose all of our notes, media etc if the final advice is to "start again". How can it be right to lose all content because of an Apple system software issue? I am pre-guessing this will be the final advice (if I don't want to pay for a replacement iPad)?
Please help me and all those others with the same avoidable software problem.
Thank you,
Peter

This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple.
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.)
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.

CD inserted, cannot eject and icon does not appear on screen

Hello and Help Help Help, I just inserted a recorded CD and the icon did not appear on the desktop,
nor is there any response at all when I try to eject it with the eject button. Perhaps relevant or not:
I had just installed an update for Firefox (I use Safari almost always). I took all Firefox stuff to the trash (I can always download it again) but that did not make any difference. Have been using iTunes for over
five years to make many CDs of my own compositions, almost never a problem. Thanks very much, James Johnson in Plattsburgh NY at [email protected] (if you reply directly to my email also, that's easier for me)

Hi, James -
To eject the CD, restart or boot the machine and immediately press the mouse button, keep it held down until the CD pops out. This is a hardware-level (no OS software involved) command to the Mac to eject all removable media.

Hi tutor,my system preferences remains in hang and it does not respond even after force quit.May i have a advice la

my sytem preferences remains in hang and is not responding even after force quit,may i have suggestion la

Hello: Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Could you specify the Mac OS X version and also what computer you
are using it on, with some detail? Some of these kinds of issues, while
they may seem the same across various years of OS X, can have
different causes and also different cures.
With that information, someone may be capable of researching a reply
most suited to try & see if it works in your computer + OS X system.
One idea, which may/may not help, would be to start the computer
from its most recent OS X DVD install disc, unless it has OS X 10.7
or Later, where there is a Recovery partition on the HDD to boot from.
Then use Disk Utility> repair disk, while there, also repair permissions.
Thanks.
Good luck & happy computing!

I log into Smartzone and it does not respond, only indicates that it is loading??

I logged into my smartzone email account and it is not loading up??

You might want to check with Comcast SmartZone support about that issue, I suspect they did an update earlier this week. As of yesterday a Firefox 2.0.0.20 user who posted here couldn't even get the the comcast.net homepage to load, and I can't either with Namoroka/3.6.18pre - ''(the "tester version" of Firefox 3.6.x updates)'' - we're getting re-directed to the "unsupported browser" web page at Comcast. The strangest thing is that Comcast doesn't re-direct Aurora 5.0 as being "unsuported", they know that is Firefox-next.
And today when I logged in with Firefox 4.0.1 all the emails that I read yesterday with that same browser were '''bold''' as being un-read. Comcast changed "something" on either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Ipod Shuffle 2nd gen doesn't operate and computer does not respond.

Hi,
I'm having troubles with my 2nd gen iPod shuffle.
I was listening to music at night but accidently left it on during night.
Next day no light flashed when i turned my iPod on, so I put my iPod on the dock, hoping it would turn on again.
I've had my iPod in the dock for a full day now but it still doesn't operate when I try to listen to music. Also, the computer doesn't recognize it. I've tried using another iPod, which worked, and also tried using another dock, with no result.
Can anyone help me?
I hope my English is understandable.
Thanks.

I just had that same problem. I also have my iPod touch but i also want to use this for many other reasons... SOMEBODY HELP!!!

My I touch gets very hot when charging, and it won't turn on. I've tried all the resets/fixes and it does not respond. Any Ideas?

I have tried charging my itouch on the computer, in a docking station, and it gets very hot. It won't turn on, even after trying all the resets I've read on this site. Any ideas what the problem is? Is it fixable?

Hey Halefarm, What happens if you connect directly with the charging source with your cable, no docking station? Since resetting did not help, try connecting directly with the cable to your power source and your iPod. Next try a different cable, there could be a short in the one you are currently using. If still will not charge correctly, I'm leaning in the direction of a failing battery. Set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated by Apple. Have your iPod evaluated for possible battery issues. Take the cable and dock and have them tested as well. If it is a failing battery, you choices are; replace the battery, either through Apple or third party shop. Replace it yourself, if you can. Or, you look into getting a new iPod. I don't have the cost of a new battery for an iPod 3, but I'm sure it's under $100. Check with Apple for exact pricing. Good luck, Cheers.

My yahoo account was hacked and ipad does not respond

My yahoo account was hacked and cannot get my ipad to accept my account again and new password

The money was stolen off of gift cards stored on my itunes account, and I did close the card on the account. I have changed my infortiona security wide but kept the rest of the changes they made to my account as proof. It has indeed been 48 hours since I conta cted them, and still no response. Also on this forum others have reported the same thing happening. Very sad I cannot even call Itunes about this. Thanks for your response.
