Sound just suddenly stopped on my laptop
I am on my laptop and all of a sudden there is no sound. I checked the volume, it is on, I tried turning the laptop on and off and that still didn't help.
I am unsure of what to do, I went into control panel, clicked on system and security, find and fix problems and followed the instructions, that did not work. Said troubleshooting couldn't identify the problem. I have no idea what to do next. It was working while I was listening to a youtube video, then it just stopped.
Any advice for a not-so-savvy computer person.
Thanks,

Hello LlRoe,
I see that you are having problems with the sound on your HP computer. I have some suggestions that may help with this issue.
Here is a link to some troubleshooting steps for sound issues on your computer. It includes some steps you already tried but continue past those and try the other steps including reinstalling the sound drivers.

My iPad isn't getting connection to internet. It just suddenly stopped! It says it is connected to WiFi but it just keeps spinning and nothing will come up. Have tried rebooting my router and iPad (my other computer is connected just fine).
Try turning WiFi off on the iPad, then reset it again, turn WiFi on again and join your network again if necessary. Or go to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Forget this network. Reset your iPad and then join your network again. Or - settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings. Reset the iPad, then try to join your network again.

Bouncing Ball Just Suddenly Stops Mid Bounce
I have a application where each time you click the add ball button a new randomly colored ball is added to the jpanel. It works fine except that the balls suddenly stop at the same spot. I want them to continue to bounce for a longer period of time instead of like 8 bounces. It was going around withoutstopping prior to my getting the add new ball part working. I cannot seem to figure out what I did wrong. Also curious if anyone new of a tip as to how to get the balls to disappear once a button is clicked or their cycle runs out. Below is my code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class BounceBall{
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new BounceFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);
frame.setVisible(true);

addButton(buttonPanel, "Add Ball",
new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
addBall();
addButton(buttonPanel, "Exit",
new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
System.exit(0);
class BallThread extends Thread {
private BouncingBall b;
public BallThread(BouncingBall aBall) { b = aBall; }
public void run() {
try {
for (int i = 1; i <= 1000; i++) {
b.move();
sleep(5);
} catch (InterruptedException exception) {

balls.add(b);
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
for (int i = 0; i < balls.size(); i++) {
BouncingBall b = (BouncingBall)balls.get(i);
b.draw(g2);
class BouncingBall {

if (x < 0) {

return new Color(rval, gval, bval);

Actually it is comiliable as I ran it numerous times today asI tried to fix it. No, it does not compile. Besides the obvious error:
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);, a large part of the BounceFrame class seems to be missing: I don't see a addButton(...) anywhere.
I posted here since it says new to java which I am. I also have posted here before with questions relatedto swing and 2D elements like graphs and no one else had an issue. It's not prohibited to post it here, but in the 2d forums, there are more people who know what they're talking about when it comes to 2D animations.
Thanks for the links to the other forums I will post there. Sorry to bother you guys as I was not aware that New to Java meant only if it doesn't involves things like swing and 2DIt's not a bother: I merely said it for you to get help sooner. -
Why would my bluetooth suddenly stop working?
I have had non-Apple Bluetooth devices simply stop communicating after being paired with a device for a year or longer with no apparent reason. The solution was simply to pair the device again.
An explanation is likely to be elusive, resulting only in manufacturers of the devices blaming each other for deficiencies either real or imagined. -
Our Apple TV has worked fine with our Wi-Fi network for about a year. Connectivity suddenly stopped. I have reset it twice but it is still unable to connect to the internet using my Wi-Fi name and password. Both our iMac and Macbook are accessing the network without issues. Is our Apple TV box bad?
Hello Heypaddles,
As it says at the bottom of the article, please contact Apple Support if the troubleshooting in the article didn't resolve the issue:
If you tried all of these steps and your Wi-Fi issues persist, contact Apple technical support or take your Apple TV to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).

My imac has just suddenly stopped connecting to the net
My mac just radomly stopped connecting to the internet last week and i cant get it to reconnect again. All the other devices in my house connect perfectly. i use an O2 home hub and have had no problems for a year with this so im guessing its the mac. my girlfriend recently bought a printer and plugged it in next to the mac but it isnt connected, is there any chance this could be blocking the wireless signal? thanks mike
Hi Mike...
Try turning off the router for about 5 minutes, then turn it back on then restart the Mac.
If the printer isn't setup for printing with the Mac, I doubt that's the problem. -
Sound has suddenly stopped on my hp laptop. how can i fix this?
I have the hp Pavillion dv6 running Windows 7. The sound stopped after I loaned the laptop to a woman from church whose house was struck by lightening, until she could buy another computer. My computer was not in her house when it was struck by lightening, and I don't want to tell her about the problem, because she has enough on her hands right now.
I have tried to adjust the sound myself, and have used the sound diagnostic tools, but every tool says that it can't find any problem. But there is no sound. Can you help me?
This question was solved.

If I were you I would restore the system to the point before you loan this notebook because from this what you wrote I understand that everything worked fine before this person received it from you.

What a pain in the ass. Firefox will inadvertently stop the scrolling feature from working on my synaptics laptop mouse. It works for every other program except Firefox. Really??? This has happened on other versions of FF and I was sooo reluctant to upgrade as I was afraid it would happen again and viola, 3 days later it stopped working. If I restart FF scrolling works for about 15 seconds and then stops again. This is a joke.
Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
Here is how to do this:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Disks icon at the top of the AirPort Utility window
Click the Disks tab below the icons
Click Erase
The "Quick Erase" option will only take a moment or two
Now you can backup your MacBook Pro. If you connect an Ethernet cable from the MBP to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC, the first backup will go 3-5 times faster than wireless.
Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will only take a few minutes -
My Yahoo mail service stopped working on my Iphone. Works fine from my PC. Help Did restart but no help.
Hello Bad Don,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would recommend performing the troubleshooting steps in this article named iOS: Unable to send or receive email found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
If none of that resolves the issue, I would backup and restore the device with iTunes.

then one day when it suddenly cannot not display on the screen
This question was solved.
View Solution.When you install a video card that has DVI \ VGA outputs they will work, but not the video outputs at the rear of the motherboard. The BIOS will disable the onboard video. you can check it in the BIOS, but I don't expect you will see any video settings.

I can no longer attach files to email. Just suddenly stopped.
I haven't installed an update or any new files. I was able to attach files yesterday but today, for some reason, they won't attach. I select the paperclip but nothing happens. No error message, nothing behind the open pane. I've rest my IE settings to default (even though I don't use it) but that didn't help. I've off/on the PC and that didn't work either. I've run my antivirus software and it finds nothing wrong.
Could you check your pop-up setting for google.com? Here's how:
While you have the compose window on the screen, click the padlock in the address bar.
* If the pop-up permission is listed there as Block, try changing it to Allow.
* If the pop-up permission is not listed there, click More Information to launch the Page Info dialog, then click Permissions in the top bar. Scroll down to "Open pop-up windows", uncheck the box for "Set default" then click Allow and close the dialog.
Then try the paper clip again. Success?
Unfortunately, that is "Google-wide" and not limited to mail, so... other pop-ups are possible that you've never noticed before. -
F-4480 printer just suddenly stopped responding.
Had been printing a series of letters when pop-up stated printer was low on color.
I replaced the color cartridge and printer hasn't worked since.Can you provide some additional details?
- When you say the printer hasn't worked since, what does the printer do? Do you get lights coming on, on the printer? Do you get an error message?

Exs24 sound file suddenly stops
Hi all!
I built an exs24 instrument. Only one key (c1) plays an audio file. This file has a duration about 2 minutes. I selected "one shot" - so the file play after I pushed the key at my keyboard once.
Here's my problem:
The file does not play the 2 minutes, sometimes its 4 seconds then its 25 seconds then its 16 seconds, you never know.
Any ideas?
Thanx for your time and help!
RainoThis problem started for me two days ago after the Apple repair centre reloaded my operating system on my MacBook. They did that because I have a recurring problem where my Mac sends out some bizarre corrupting signal to my Airport Express and resets it so the light goes from green to flashing orange. They have already replaced the MacBook wireless card and given me a new Airport Express. Everything works fine on a PC with iTunes.
So when I get my 're-installed' Mac back, I set it playing to the AE and, even though it didn't reset the AE for quite a few hours, I go out and when I come back there is no audio at all - not from the MacBook and not from the AE speakers either (even though the light is still green).
On the Mac, even as I type now, iTunes is playing but there is no audio coming from the computer at all. Even if I jump to a new track (which sometimes doesn't even start to play in the slider bar at the top) or pause and the re-start, no audio.
The only way to do get the audio back is to close down iTunes and start it again. Very frustrating. Weird thing is it actually did it on the PC too which it had never done before.
Oh, and the Mac is back to re-setting the Airport Express too. **** knows what is wrong.
