Hi Susan,
Click the Start Menu, type Notification Area Icons and hit enter. In the window that opens, click the link Turn system icons on or off. In the following window, next to the entry for Volume, make sure that On is selected in the dropdown box, then click Ok in this window and the previous one.
Regards,

Have you tried giving it a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple let go and let it reboot and see if htat helps.

No Sound from Mac Pro, however, volume icon moves up and down

Hello, I was using my 12 month old Mac Pro last night and it worked fine with sound as normal. When I powered it up today there is no sound coming from my monitor, but the volume icon moves up and down when I press the keys? I've checked in the Preference sound file and everything is set ok? I googled this problem and some people have suggested that there should not be a 'red' light showing in the digital connection on the back? However, I can see a red light, I've tried using my headphones in the front mini-jack and nothing? I disconnected the monitor audio cables restarted the Mac, there was then sound as normal if I used the sound keys. I re-connected the audio cable and it continued to play sound for 5 minutes or so, then stopped working again?

I have a problem with my Powerbook automatically muting. If you read the posts, there seem to be a lot of people having this problem and no one can explain or help.

HT4085 The volume icon won't leave the screen and I can't seem to reset the volume. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My iPad2 will not clear the volume icon from the screen no matter what I do. I've reset the ipad and nothing I do will make that icon go away and I can no longer control the volume. Am I missing something here, or does this warrant a trip to the Apple store?

The volume icon on the screen means that the pad thinks you are pressing the volume rocker on the side. Make sure that it is not being pressed by a case, or a dent, or anything else. Make sure it rocks back and forth freely without getting stuck.
If it moves freely, and if you have already done a full reboot, then a trip to the store may be in order.

Sharepoint Volume Icons on Desktop - How to?

Hi All,
I have a few XP Windows boxes, a Tiger box, and a new Snow Leopard box connect to an Xserve (Tiger Server) and Xserve RAID. With the XP and Tiger boxes, I was able to automount the shared Tiger Server/RAID volumes at login...on the Tiger box, the AFP Volumes appear on the desktop (added as login items) and on the XP boxes, just drive mapped the volumes. Well, with the Snow Leopard box, I added the volumes as login items, but I can't seem to get a simple AFP volume icon on the desktop - when logging in, the volumes are mounted and opened as windows in the finder.
Any way to get icons for the volumes to appear on the desktop as was possible in Tiger?
Thanks!

go to finder preferences->general and check the box to show connected servers on the desktop.

Why can;t I see the volume icon in the bottom rught corner, and have no volume

I have lost the volume and the volume icon is not in the bottom right hand corner
== This happened ==

Go to (Windows) Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices.
See if you can find a box there to check for placing the icon in the taskbar/system tray. Also see if there is a "Mute" and be sure it is unchecked. Look at your volume setting; usually a slider. Explore the tabs on that panel and look at the settings. Don't change settings if you are unsure.

Annoying volume icon in the middle of my display.

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro S300-S2504. Whenever I touch the volume knob (on the very front middle of the laptop so it gets touched all the time by accident) it puts a large volume icon in the middle of my screen.
I have a co-worker who has the same laptop and his doesn't have this "Feature".
How do I get rid of this thing??

Try a reboot - hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons together for a minimum of 15 seconds.

My volume icon has been on my screen since yesterday, and won't go away! It is in the way of my reading! How do I get it to go away??

Hi there.. need some help with my iphone 4. I was using mapquest on a road trip yesterday, and the volume icon showed up on my screen, and now won't go away. The volume buttons work (increase/decrease volume), but the volume bar no longer corresponds to the increase/decrease in volume. I can't figure out how to make the volume icon go away. It is superimposed on other apps so it makes reading (e.g. mail, news) annoying since I have to read around the icon. Can someone give me some advice on what to do? Thanks!

Have you tried turning your phone off and back on?
Reset the phone hold the home button and the sleep button in until the phone turns off ignore the "slide to power off" message and keep holding the buttons, the phone will reboot

The volume icon on my ipod won't disappear and the volume sets itself at full.

The volume icon on my ipod touch won't disappear and the volume sets itself at full. I have tried a master reset etc, but it doesn't want to cooperate. Any ideas?

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If you still have a problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
I do not know what a "master reset" is.

The big gray volume icon is flashing randomly on my screen VERY often. Annoying!!! Please help me, someone!

Basically, after I installed Yosemite, the big gray volume icon (2" X 2" on a 23" screen) is flashing randomly on my screen VERY often. This is annoying. I have tried all peripherals including the possibility that there is dust/debris in my keyboard buttons. I disabled the keyboard and it still does it. Please help.

If you are correct there is nothing that can be done, I doubt that you are correct.
Try asking instead of telling.
Good luck

Volume icon missing on taskbar

How can I reload the volume icon to the taskbar

Hi:
You can try to re-enable it from the sounds & audio devices option in your control panel.
Click on Sounds and Audio Devices (or Hardware & Sound) in the control panel, and then if the enable volume icon is checked, uncheck it, click apply, OK. Then go ahead and check it again. Click Apply, OK, and see if the icon reappears.

    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone

    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    Try this even if you don’t see the red light.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
    Do this twice

Volume icon is disfigured. Any solutions to this problem?

I logged into my macbook pro like I do everyday and when I clicked on the volume key the volume icon appeared to have weird lines on both the top and the bottom. It has happened to one of my friends a few months ago and she never knew how to fix it and when the same thing happened to me today, I had to find solutions to this problem. I have not found any solutions to this problem whatsoever. Please help me fix this as I do not have an apple store nearby and I have been searching around the internet all day. Thanks!

Sorry, forgot to enter the image but yeah this is how it looks like ^

How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

Thanks for the quick response.
I have a number of slides which act as a training module. The quiz follows this. All the answers to the quiz are in the module slides. I'd like the user to be able to see which questions they're failing on, but not be shown the answers, as, if they are failing the quiz, the whole module needs to be reviewed and the test retaken.
If this isn't possible, I'll probably just remove the review option, thereby meaning my retake button can stay, and the user can just go back and re-read the module slides to learn the answers.
Thanks

Menu Bar - Sound Volume icon does not move with the press of the F key

So I normally press the F keys to control the Sound Volume, right, just like everyone else does -
but the Sound Volume icon in the Menu Bar at the top right does not respond to the F key at all!
Isn't it supposed to react simultaneous with the press of the F key?
I have to actually use my mouse click to make that volume go up and down.
The actual volume does work with the F key, it goes up and down.
But to make the 2 work in sync, I have to point the mouse to the one at the Menu Bar, fiddle with it, and then I can use the F key and both work together at the same time.
If I haven't touched the Menu Bar one for a while and I only use the F key, the Menu Bar one doesn't move at all.
It's weird. Any ideas?

I see what Al is seeing. Normally I just use one method or the other. The Volume Adjustment keys provide visual feedback, so it's unnecessary to check the menu extra, i.e. the Volume menu bar icon, to see the same feedback.
The slight delay in the reaction of the Volume menu extra, when open and while adjusting the volume with the Volume keys is normal.
They're independent methods for adjusting the Volume setting. The Volume menu extra takes a moment to refresh when the slider is displayed and you're changing the setting via the Volume keys.
Good luck!
