How can i get the audio working again?

Did a hard drive replacement on my ibook a few weeks ago and being as careful as i possibly could the audio connector still pulled off of the logic board. Even when the connector was off of the logic board i still had trouble separating the two pieces. I put a tiny drop of superglue on the bottom of the connector and pushed it back onto the logic board trying to make sure the metal pieces touched the board. It was in place perfectly and to my dismay there is no sound on the laptop through the built in speakers. The headphone port still works but the built-in's don't. What would be the best way to go about this? Would it be possible just to wire the headphone jack wires to the built-in speakers wires? Thanks a lot

I think i found a pretty good temporary solution, in theory anyways. I took the cable off of a set of ipod cube speakers and stripped it to find three wires: red, blue, and copper. My plan is to splice this cable and the wires to the speakers inside of the ibook and then just run the headphone plug outside of the ibook and plug it into the headphone jack. It may look a little odd but if it works its better than having to plug in a set of external speakers which looks even more weird. My question is, i remember there only being a black and red wire coming from the ibook speakers but as i said earlier the wire from the cube speakers has blue, red, and copper. Does anyone know how i could splice the two together? I thought stereo channels had to have three wires (left, right, and ground)...are the ibook speakers only mono?

  • I'm getting "Unknown Error 6" when trying to upgrade my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.  The phone is then stuck on the red iTunes logo + USB screen.  How can I get the phone working again?

    I've tried upgrading my iPhone 4S using iTunes 12.01.26 on 4 different computers at home and at the office:
    Macbook Air - OS X version 10.7.5
    Macbook Pro - OS X Yosemite
    2 PCs running Windows 7 Professional
    iTunes downloaded the installer and the installation process seemed to get 90% complete before showing the error, "The iPhone, "iPhone" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (6)."
    The phone is now stuck on the red iTunes logo screen:
    How can I get it out of this mode?
    I've tried holding the power button and home buttons down for ten seconds, then letting go of the power button, but keeping the home button down for another 10 seconds.  I've also tried Reiboot, Wondershare Dr. Fone in desperation to try to get the phone out of this mode.  Nothing seems to fix it.
    If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

    i do that but it keeps getting stuck on the 'preparing to restore i phone' screen for a few mins before coming up with 'unknown error 1603'.
    Just doublechecking. Have you worked through the 1603-specific instructions from the following document?

    Have you synced with a computer while the passcode was enabled? If so, connect & launch iTunes. You should then be prompted to enter the passcode.

    If you bought it used, many if not most of them are "jailbroken" and cannot be fixed. That's why they are sold. Unsuspecting buyers are generally out of luck.

  • My 3gs won't take pics. It says it's full and to delete pics/vids, but I only have 30 pics and I've had tripple that plus vids and it took pics fine. How can I get my camera working again?

    The number of pictures/videos on the device is irrelevant.  If there is not available space on the device, there is no way to take pictures.  Pictures, videos, music, iBooks, and any other media share the same space.
    Might be a good idea to manage the content on the device going forward so that there is always space available.
    Try not to fall into the misconception that many others experience, believing that the iPhone is a storage device, it simply is not.  Instead it is intended to be a mirror of the content on the computer.

  • How can I get my email working again?

    My Comcast email stopped working when I changed my password.  Now I cannot send or receive.  I deleted the account and added it back--no change.  I rebooted and did the delete/add new account again, but I still have no working email.  The old emails were also gone after I deleted the account.  What can I do to get my email working again?

    Nevermind.  After a frustrating few hours, I went to bed.  This morning when I checked, I had email.  The old emails never returned, but the new ones are coming through.  I wonder why it took so long.

  • How can I get the audio only from a home made video

    I have several home videos saved on my iPhone and I am wondering if I can get the audio off of the videos to make an audio CD. I have a PC. Windows 7

    Put the clip in an iMovie Project. Then share the project using the SHARE menu,
    Use SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME
    Choose SOUND TO AIFF.
    AIFF is an uncompressed audio format. You can use iTunes or GarageBand if you need to convert it to AAC or MP3.

  • HT4059 I DL an ibook that had audio included.......how can I get the audio as it never DL with purchase?

    I purchased a book through ibook ......it had acompanying audio.  The audio didn't come through.  Do I just 'not get the audio' or is there something I can be doing?

    Thanks. It does seem to indicate that there should be a separate download for the audio tracks. If you have a computer running iTunes, look under the Advanced menu for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You might find the track(s) available for downloading there.
    If not, go here:

  • My MBP does not boot in the operating system. How can I get it to work again?

    I've tried rebooting from the OS DVD but it does not do anything. Now, I can't even get the DVD out to try the MBP install disks. Is there anyway to get this working again?

    If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you can not natively through your iPad.  BUT, there are apps you can purchase in the App Store, like Print Central ($9), which is what I use myself and works well for my needs.

  • I fully downloaded an audiobook on my iPad and it started working fine but then it stopped reading my book. How can I get it to work again?

    I downloaded an audiobook and it started working but then it stopped. Is there anyway I can redownload my audiobook so that it starts working completely?

    This is a ridiculous policy and it interferes with how most people would listen to an audio book since they are quite lengthy. I'm traveling, so I throw the audio book on using my iPad and I get 60% of the way through the book on my trip. I come home, I want to listen to the rest of it via iTunes on my stereo through AirPlay. And this can't be done?
    This is the last audiobook I buy from iTunes until they *fix* this... and it IS something that requires fixing whether that means negotiating more aggressively with the audiobook providers or changing something at the software layer. It completely ruins many peoples' experience!
    It's funny because a friend of mine suggested buying it, then downloading it from a torrent just so I could use the book the way I wanted to use the book. Is it not sad that to create a positive overall user experience you have to resort to downloading something off a torrent?
    iTunes is supposed to make things easy and accessible. I agree with jamusick's posting -- this isn't the vision Steven Jobs had for the future. This is a road block on the way there.

  • How can I get ThinkVantage button working again? (after a full HD rebuild)

    WindowsXP Pro, ThinkPad T60   (2007-F4G / UT0F4UK)
    Hi
    How do I get my Thinkvantage button working again?
    Background:
    I had a virus attack and as a precaution I zero-ed my ENTIRE hard disk (using KillDisk). I have managed to re-install most things, including I now have an icon on the taskbar called "Launch Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox". However I would prefer it to be fired up by my pressing the (blue) ThinkVantage button at the top of my keyboard.
    I have refused point blank to pay the (outrageous) price of GBP 40.00 for Lenovo to send me a CD with Windows etc on it, but have managed (eventually) to rebuild the entire disk driver by driver until the ThinkVantage Toolbox thing (version 6.0.5449.31) could take over and bring my drivers up to date when I Update my system.
    (It's just that they may have gone in incorrectly??)
    Is there something I should have done during installation.
    Ship

  • My mini ipad told me I didnt have enough storage, but I failed to buy more.  Now it is black screened.  Siri talks, but cant get it opened back up for me.  How can I get it to work again?

    My IPad mini has the least amount of storage and I was getting messages that I was running out of space.  My grandchildren were playing games on it and it locked up.  Now I cant get it opened to buy storage on ICloud.  Siri talks and I get a tone when an email comes in, but beyond that the screen is black.  What can I do to make it useable again? 

    Hi mcarey,
    Purchasing iCloud storage will not help you. You are out of memory on the physical device itself. You can try a reset (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). If the Apple appears, the reset is successful, and your Home screen will display shortly.
    Don't waste your money purchasing additional iCloud storage. It won't help you.
    Instead, go to Settings>General>Usage, and under the Storage section at the top, see what is taking up so much memory. If you need to delete some Apps, click on the App in this screen and it will take you to a screen that will allow you to delete it. Then you can just click the back arrow at the top to return to the Usage screen and select additional Apps to delete.
    If your photos are taking up a lot of room, then import them to the Mac or PC you sync with. Once you have verified they have successfully imported, you can then safely delete them from the device.
    If your Mail or Messages is taking up a lot of memory, delete any mail or messages that contain videos. They take up a ton of room.
    That's about all you can do to get your memory consumption down. Check that screen and manage what you have on your device.
    Best of luck,
    GB
