External Speaker no longer working

Okay - I've only had my phone a month - no damage - didn't get it wet and have checked that the volume was on.  However, the ringer, speakerphone, etc isn't working.  I have used headphones with it and read somewhere that it can sometimes not register that they've been removed.  However, I've tried plugging them in and removing them and that hasn't fixed it.  I've also tried leaving the battery out overnight. 
Anyone have any ideas?

Hello DNS84 and welcome to the forums!
I think in your situation you should look into reloading the software on the device.   Just make sure you back up your data before proceeding so you can have a copy of it.  Of course the application loader will take of this for you by default.
1)  Here is how you back up your device. 
2)  Here is how you reload the software cleanly on the device.  
3)  Here is how you restore your data to the device if it is not backed up automatically.   
hope this helps

  • External speaker won't work

    I have a BlackBerry Curve 8310 and the external speaker won't work. I don't get any notification of calls, texts, etc. I had a new external speaker put in but that didn't fix the problem. Anybody have any ideas of what else could be wrong? My phone is no longer under warranty, so AT&T will not replace my phone.

    The same thing happened to me. Go to Applications and then the Utilities Folder and then open the Audio Midi Setup app. Make sure the default output and system output are set to the built in output. The same symptoms happened to me when I ad reset those options to an aggregate device I created for some simple music production. Setting the above setting back to the defaults made everything better.

  • External Monitor no longer works after 10.5.8 Update

    I just downloaded 10.3.8 update and my Fujitsu external monitor no longer works with my Imac 24". The same thing has happened to a friend who has the same iMAC and similar external monitor. Is this Apples way to get us to use Apple products only or is this a big with the update? Any ideas? Thank you.

    Hello
    Try disconnecting all external peripherals, then shutdown your Mac, pull out all power cord, if it is a portable, take out the battery and leave it as it is for at least 5 minutes... 15 mins best.
    Then power back your mac and see if the FW ports are working
    Cheers

  • My ipod 4g external speaker has been working on and off for the past few days since christmas. 2 days ago it was working all morning then in the afternoon in the middle of watching a video it just stopped. it hasnt worked since ): any help?

    My ipod touch was given to me from apple refurbished and still with ios 5.0.2 after owering it on for the first time and updating to 6.0.1 it was functioning normally and i was using it just fine. i had just begun to use itunes and i bought some music and after playing about 3 or 4 songs aloud from the external speaker it stopped working. just like that. i looked over the internet about other incidents like that but then after thaty i returned back to my ipod and began playing Tron and the sound worked fine! i exited the app and it played my music just fine too. then the next day it went out again and no sound was being played. i left it alone and after about 2 or 3 hours i came  back to it and it played sound again. the next day it went out in the middle of watching a video i had just taken. it hasnt come back on since. any help/suggestions?? anything plz..

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
    - Reset all settings
    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.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
    Replace the jack yourself

    My speaker no longer works on my iPhone 6

        Maryvgal,
    Speakerphone is a very nice feature and we want you to be able to enjoy it. How long has this issue been happening for? Also, if you try to play music are you able to hear it without headphones or other accessories? Any physical or liquid damage to the phone?

  • HT5858 My speaker no longer works on my Iphone 3.  I have gone into settings and checked the volume, but everything is OK

    I have an Iphone 3 and all of a sudden the speaker no longer works on the phone.  I have gone into settings and played around with the volumethere, but that made no difference.  Is there something else I should be doing?

    Try backing it up in iTunes, then restoring software. Back up first, though.
    If problem is still there, then you may have to take this to a higher level. http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/
    If you STILL can't get an answer from those people, then go to an Apple Store and talk with a Genius

  • My keyboard and my external buttons no longer work.

    I guess it's probably a hardware problem and I'll have them repaired, but I am informed anyway.
    Last night, suddenly my keyboard, trackpad and all my external buttons no longer work. Only my touch screen works, but no back button, a BlackBerry is not very useful.
    It may be software, but I updated yesterday the operating system. But I find it strange that all the external buttons do not work together.
    What could be the problem. If I have to go to the workshop, I want to know as much as possible.
    Thanks !

    Evolution, keyboard work again, but screen close often (lock button), probably humidity 

  • Iphone external speaker doesn't work

    My Iphone 3GS external speaker will not work. I have tried cleaning the headjack port many times and did not help. I have even went as far as replacing the speaker assembly itself and it still is inoperative. When I unplug the headphones, the volume goes down on the screen as if it recognizes the release of the headphones, but the speaker will not work on the phone or as an ipod. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is more specific and perhaps smaller issue than those centered on the headphone jack (probably not involved in this case). Rather than having only external audio problems, the base port/connector part of handset is central in this issue - giving the nearly constant "not made to work with iPhone" airplane mode dialog box. (Always on power up, and frequently at all times unless in the charger stand specifically.)
    Although one user has claimed in several forums that he resolved it by blowing out/cleaning the charger plug, the Genius who exchanged mine indicated he thought these two problems together indicated something more than that. I was able to get another new phone within the 14 day return policy.
    Don't mess around with the audio jack if you are having the airplane message AND loss of external speaker exactly as originally described here Your phone is only as good as the jacks in terms of longevity, don't wiggle and stress the connectors - take it to Apple directly for repair of this hardware problem.

    I had this exact problem - but the headphone plugin/remove thing just wasn't working at all for me! So i looked into other issues that would cause it and why the headphone thing is working for some people.
    The problem is hardware, inside the headphone jack there is a short that is sometimes caused by the headphones going in at funny angles. I fixed this (and I'm not suggesting you do this) was get one of my girlfriends bobby pins and push the sides of the headphone jack back from the inside (i.e. inserting the bobby pin and moving it around a bit). This has permenantly fixed the issue. So it seems that the issue is hardware and I have a perfectly working iphone again
    Once again, this is not a "pretty solution" but it does work!

  • IMac 24¨External display no longer working

    I have a Intel iMac 24¨using an additional external display - Fujitsu.
    It has worked perfectly since I bought it and suddenly the external display will no longer work. There is nothing wrong with the Fujitsu because I have tested it on other computers but will no longer work with the iMac.
    I have checked all connections, running current update and I am now at a loss as to what to do next.
    I read that there were problems linking external displays when the iMac 24¨came out but I am assuming that this was resolved long ago. Even so, mine has worked fine until now. Any ideas please?!
    Thank you

    Hi Canaryguy
    1. Shut everything off display, computer and disconnect everything.
    2. Reset the iMac's SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    +● Shut down the computer.+
    +● Unplug the computer's power cord.+
    +● Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.+
    +● Release the power button.+
    +● Attach the computers power cable.+
    +● Press the power button to turn on the computer.+
    3. Now first reconnect the DVI or VGA cable to the Display.
    4. Then connect the Mini DVI to ??? to the Cable coming from the Display.
    5. Lastly plug the Mini-DVI adapter into the iMac.
    6. Then turn the Display on and startup the iMac.
    If that does not work try a different Mini-DVI to ??? adapter and cable, or test your adapter, cable and display with another iMac.
    If all of the above fail, then the iMac needs to be serviced.

  • External display no longer working

    I recently purchased a Macbook Pro Retina 13" (Late 2013) model and was able to use it with my external display yesterday. Everything was working great out of the box and I was using the hdmi port on my mac to connect it to my monitor (dvi). Today though when I first turned on my mac after shutting it down for the night, my external display no longer receives a signal.
    I've tested the cable and monitor with another laptop and everything is working, but for some reason just not with my mac.
    I've tried resetting PRAM and SMC, and have been googling how to resolve this but have no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

    So I somehow got it to work again, although it was unexpected, random and 100% luck.
    I think what fixed it was that I switched off and unplugged the power strip that my monitor was connected to (I was reorganizing my cables). I didn't plug my rmbp right away though. The external monitor was still hooked up to my windows laptop. On a whim though I decided to plug the hdmi cable into my rmbp and it worked! My monitor set up also went back to how it was the other day.
    I am sure that I didn't do anything on my rmbp that would have fixed it because I was just browsing internet on it. So if anyone is having this problem of where the monitor used to work but then suddenly didn't then I would suggest them to try this out. Let me know if anyone wants me to recall what I was actually doing. Good luck!
    I think in the future to prevent this from happening again, I will probably unplug my rmbp from the monitor before shutting it down for the night.

  • Help! Speaker no longer works!

    My speaker is now longer working! I can only hear someone on the phone is it is on "speaker phone." I've tried doing a soft reset. Any suggestions?

    igrok-mac in a previous thread found a solution that seems to have helped many with similar problems. The thread is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1033243&tstart=50
    Before you take it in, just try playing something in the ipod app while headphones are plugged in and then pull the headphone cord out. Just a hunch, because I let the phone go to sleep last night with headphones plugged in, pulled them out before awaking the phone and couldn't hear anything. Then a plug in and pull out and all was working fine. First and only time this has happened to me. <<</div>

  • Edit in external editor no longer works - LR to PS

    I'm using Yosemite and have Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014 installed ( all up to date ). My workflow was to make most adjustments in LR then select edit in external application (which is set to Photoshop) and had it configured to create and stack a high resolution tiff for final touch ups in PS. This would also give a dialogue box asking whether to edit the original or the LR version with adjustments. This no longer works!. When i try it now it just opens the unedited raw file in PS, no tiff duplicate, no stacking, just the raw file opens with no ajustments, which is useless to me. I have tried setting the secondary application also to PS with the same tiff export settings, but this also doesn't work and again just opens the original RAW file, i don't think i'm the only one with this issue, thanks... Will

    Hi Will,
    Sometimes the problem like this happens when the Camera Raw version in Photoshop is missmatching to the RAW support from Lightroom.
    For example: Working with Lightroom 5.6 while Photoshop is on ACR 8.7.
    - http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/open-lightroom-photos-external-applications.html
    * Currently there is the ACR 8.7 available on the Labs from Adobe.
    If this is what you have installed there is a missmatch on the versions.
    What happens if you set the Post Processing from Lightroom to Photoshop in the Export Dialog.
    Like this you should be able to get the Adjustments you created displayed in the Document that opens in Photoshop
    Hope this helps

  • My 1TB Toshiba External Hardrive no longer works on my MacBook Air

    I got a 1TB Toshiba External Hardrive and had no problems with it and added some pictures and everything to it however no it no longer works, or even shows up in the devices when i plug it in. I Saw that some others had the same problem and can't even find where they suggested to go to try and change it to read and right.

    Not that I can tell. Suspiciously, we did run a salvo of updates from Software Update and the problems started immediately after, but none of those appeared to be directly related to Airport functionality (firmware or otherwise). Just to be sure, I took the "safe" steps of repairing permissions, re-downloading the last combo update & re-applying it. I also searched for any firmware updates related to Airport. What's odd to me is that the firmware reported on her machine is different than that on mine. They're both Late 2006 Macbook models, so that strikes me as odd (but maybe it isn't). I wasn't able to find any updates that her Macbook was lacking, however.
    My (working) firmware is: [type] AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87), [version] 1.4.8.0
    Her (not-working) firmware is: [type] AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87), [version] 1.4.4
    Based on the card type, it doesn't appear that they're different chipsets, so I'm not at all clear on why the firmware versions differ. Was there a firmware update for Leopard that wasn't available/needed for Tiger?
    Also, I know for sure that there were no firmware updates performed during the last set of updates ... that's a more involved process, if I recall, not handled through the standard updater, I think.
    Thanks for the response!
