Tour's Mute Key

My phone gave me a message that it was in standby mode, and to press the mute key to exit. Th picture of the Tour on p 11 of the manual shows a mute key on the upper right. My phone has no such thing. What does it mean to press the Mute key? I could not press phone/menu/mute in standby mode.

It's there, right above the LED light on the very top. If you look very carefully you'll see a Speaker with line through it. Press it.
On the left side will be a padlock that locks your BB.

Sound Icon does not change when pressing the Mute Key

Hey guys,
I have a really annoying problem that only seems to start a few hours after booting my MacBook, it does not happen on a fresh reboot. When I press the mute button on the keyboard it does not mute the sound and the icon in the top bar does not show that the sound has been muted.
If I go to the control panel for the audio and do the same thing with the panel open it works just fine and the icon shows that the audio has been muted. Do any of you have this issue and how can I report this bug to Apple so they can adress it in their next OS upgrade.
Best Regards

I am having the exact same problem. It is even worse because it has happened to me in class before.
The other day, after coming to class I opened up my MBP from sleep intending to work on some things for class. As a general practice I hit the mute key as soon as I open the Mac. This always worked well with my Powerbook. However the system did not mute and the connection noises from iChat played out. This upset the teacher who glared at me for the rest of the class.
This is not an isolated incident either. I have had the tool bar and the translucent icon disagree a number of times.
I have found that if I hit the mute key twice it will generally correct the problem. But it is annoying. I hope someone at Apple is listening (in more than one way it would seem)

Fn acting as the mute key

I use a T60 2007-4CG, which I love and decided to promote it to W7 because of its very decent screen and sufficient hardware capabilities.
I applied all BIOS patches and I now face one weird issue : I discovered in W7 that each time I pressed the Fn key, it was interpreted as if I pressed the mute key.
Initially, I found it was a problem related to W7, so I reinstalled it, with no luck. Still the same problem.
After several tests, I'm now sure it is related to the BIOS :
when booting and accessing the BIOS, I can no longer press Fn + Page Up to lit the keyboard. This means that even in the BIOS, the key is not correctly interpreted.
Moreover, if I activate the Fn lock in the BIOS, then, the behaviour is slightly different : the first hit on Fn acts like mute, but the second (if pressed fast enough) acts as the Fn key has been pressed, thus enabling me to lit the keyboard (for example). This trick works in the BIOS setup pages and in W7.
I tried to downgrade my BIOS, but it did not change anything.
Has anyone encountered the same issue ? Is there anything I can try to restore the normal behaviour of the Fn key ?
Thanks

I'm not a fan of reposting but I would really like to get an answer on this, it's been so long since I originally posted it and I am convinced that it is a firmware issue (see other post for reasons; it's OS-independent but only happens when actually *in* an OS, not in BIOS settings pages or the GRUB bootloader)

HP Pavilion F6/Mute Key Light-Now not working?

Hi,
Just over a week ago I went out and got myself a HP Pavilion 15-e092ea laptop.
It's a brilliant machine and I'm really pleased with it however there is just one small thing that has sprung up.
As I'm sure many of you will know, Pavilion series laptops have a handy mute key which doubles as the F6 key. On that key is a small LED which illuminates when pressed to show that the computer is muted. Up until yesterday that light was working fine until something came up on the screen mentioning a BIOS update. I went ahead with the update and everything seemed fine. I then discovered that the LED wasn't illuminated when I used the key to mute the computer.
I've tried reinstalling audio drivers and restarting the computer a few times after reading some information on forums but nothing is working. The key still works perfectly but considering the computer is pretty new I would like to just sort the problem out. I would take it to a repair place but it's too minor and the pricing would not be fair in the slightest.
The Caps Lock, Power Button and Wireless/Flight Mode LED lights work, it's just that Mute Key one that will not illuminate. As I've said, it's a minor thing but I would be nice just to have it working again.
I'm running Windows 8.1 if that is of any help.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem? Could the BIOS update have affected it at all?
Thanks to anyone who can help.
This question was solved.

Hello joshy6001,
The BIOS update could most likely have caused the light to stop working, as this was the last thing done prior to the light not working. I would suggest restoring your BIOS back to the previous version to make sure. I have included the document 'Restoring the BIOS'. Please follow through the steps in order, and let me know if the light comes back on after the restore.
Thank you.

Z30 STA100-5 Assistant "activate with Mute Key" with "use Assistant when locked" not working

When my phone is connected to bluetooth, the mute key should allow me to use the assistant even when the phone is locked. The assistant works just fine on bluethooth when the phone is NOT locked but when the phone locks, the mute button does not function.
I use picture lock but this all seemed to work in previous versions.

Any ideas?

May not help but give this a try on the G5:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
I would also first turn off both computers then connect the FW cable. If both computers have a FW800 port then you can use a standard FW800 cable. Boot the G5 into TDM. After the TDM screen appears boot the new computer normally.

Unable to unlock with mute key

My device is Blackberry 9300 vs5.0.0.977.
Hi people, I am currently having a problem with my blackberry.All my convenience keys aren't working. They works like just like my keypad now. Pressing the play left track key gives me HL, pressing the mute key gives nm and pressing the play right track key gives me uo. pressing the left side key gives me jk and pressing the right side key gives me yi.
The default side convenience keys are camera and voice dialing.
The problem is after locking my keypad with default 'A' button, I am unable to unlock it. It prompts me to press the mute button, which doesn't work now. Each time I press the 'A' button, I can't unlock my phone anymore. I did many battery pulls, but upon pressing the 'A' button again, I can't unlock my phone again.
Please help me put my keys back to their original function. Thank you.

Try specifying RETURN instead of 'changeit' when asked the password for <aaaa>, and make sure that Tomcat knows the password of the keystore, however that's done - some configuration entry (don't ask me).

G550 2958 - No mute key

I bought a new G550-2958 laptop.. There is no mute key in that laptop..
Is there any option to configure a key for mute ?

specific models for g550.
can you check your user manual for function keys.
even if you don't have, you can use windows volume control to mute/unmute.

Mute key fails during startup

What is wrong with the Macbook mute key? I'm tired of waking up the rest of my house late at night or during classes or in the library. My Powerbook Pismo never embarassed me this way.
What is needed to get the key to function at startup as it should? What is Apple doing to fix this? If I revert to Panther would the mute key work?

I haven't seen this in any of the MacBook documentation or in Apple's FAQs for the MacBook. As such... I'm not sure how you can call it a "failure" or ask "What Apple is doing to fix this?". From what I can tell, there isn't anything to indicate that the MacBook should do this to start with. The new MacBooks and Pros are complete redesigns. If they've chosen to not include that feature, that doesn't indicate a problem. Perhaps in a future firmware update, they may decide to include it. I just don't want people to think there is something wrong with their MacBook when there isn't.

I want to make the mute fearute a speakable command. If I could find a way to make a keyboard shortcut with the command key, I could do the rest. Any suggestions?

After update ipad1 by ios5.1.1 the keyboard and installed game and ... havnot voice but music is play whil mut key is off

r

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
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 task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Can I restore the lockscreen mute key in KitKat?

KitKat took away my favorite lock screen feature. There used to be a lock screen slider/button to mute/unmute the phone. Not on the KitKat lock screen that I have is there a way to restore this? Its really annoying to have to unlock the phone, to change the volume.

It is pretty much still there you just need to get to it a different way. Open the phone to the Home Screen and Hold the power button like you were trying to power down the phone. The menu that pops up will have the Mute function there as well as unmute and vibrate. Not ideal but it sure beats holding the volume button down until it turns all the was down.

Mute key light not working/Apps not loading

I hate computers and this one in particular right now.It stopped working and I paid someone to repair it, they said that there was a problem with windows which had become unstable and reinstalled it.Now it won't load the Windows apps (Error 0x80070057) and the light on the mute button has stopped working. I have tried the hard reset as per other mute light issues on here, but no success. The mute button works, but no light. I have tried lots of Windows Apps repair suggestions from the web/windows etc. to no avail. Now I just want to time travel to pen and paper times. I was able to cope then... Any help gratefully accepted, but please - in simple terms for a simple person.

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums. What you will have to do is reload the factory original image on this system. If your computer guy reloaded windows from an alternate source you will have to obtain a copy of the original recovery media. HP PCs - Obtaining HP Recovery Discs or an HP USB Recovery Drive | HP® Support
Before doing that though please run the bios diagnostics on your system and hard drive. Here are the links to help you with that.

Disable Volume/Mute keyboard keys

Is it possible to disable the volume/mute keys on the keyboard so that they don't try to control system volume. I've been wanting to map to different keyboard shortcuts but can't, even with third party software, since you can't seem to assign them since they keep bringing up system audio, which I want to avoid.
Any ideas?

I finally did some googling and found a screenshot of the keyboard pane and I'm definitely missing that checkbox for some reason, which I find very strange. Does it only show up with apple keyboards or something?
Not having a non-apple KB, I don't know if it's always there.
You may have a corrupted .plist.
To find out if it is a corrupted file, create a new user and see if the missing checkbox is there under the new account. If not, it's a system thing that needs to be solved.
If the new user has the checkbox, then it's a corrupted .plist which we can deal with.
