Just reinstalled OS 10.6 and updated to 10.6.8 and internal mic doesn't work...

I reinstalled the system to try and fix the DVD player, which was refusing to play most (but not all) my DVD's... the new system didn't fix the DVD problem and now the mic doesn't work either!!??!?!?!
Any ideas?

OK, I don't think I'll be starting that tonight though, might try it later in the week. Thanks very much for the advice, kind of what I expected, just hoped for an easier solution! Mac always seems to go back to "whipe it and start again" - you'd think there'd be some targetted system app testing tool that would help identify probably causes... but there we are, rant over, thanks for the help.

  • Just installed CS5 Design Premium and Adobe Air doesn't work

    I just blew over $2000.00 on this software and installed it on my new i7 MacBook Pro. So far, all the software seems to be working, but when I click on help, I get a message that says the following:
    "This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."
    What this means is all of the help documentation for all of my new software can't be accessed. There are a lot of negative and unproductive things I could say right now, but I would like to get help, so here is a list of what I did...
    1: I tried uninstalling Air and reinstalling it - FAIL
    2: I tried reinstalling CS5 - FAIL
    3: I called Tech Support - They told me to do the above as someone was yelling behind them and making them nervous.
    If anyone out there can tell me how to fix this I would be grateful.
    I have a 17 inch MacBook Pro with an i7 processor and 8 GIG of RAM and a 500 GIG 7200 RPM Hard Drive.
    Thanks.

    Can you look at this tech note and let us know if it solves your problem?

  • I have just upgraded to Firefox 5 and google toolbar doesn't work anymore. How can I go back?

    What details?
    ''locking - asked & answered multiple time - moderator''

    Thats because the old installed version of googletoolbar has a file named install.rdf that declares the max supported version of firefox to be 4.0.
    To fix this ,just open the install.rdf file with notepad and change maxVersion from 4.0.* to 6.* (see the image i've also uploaded)
    Now, in order to find the correct install.rdf file do the following:
    Go to folder : C:\Users\[your user name here]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[sometext].default and search for the install.rdf file (im using windows 7)
    Windows search will find many install.rdf files (one for each addon you have installed on firefox) so make sure that you find the install.rdf that has the line
    Google Toolbar for Firefox
    in it. For this install.rdf file just rename the max version as stated above , restart firefox..and vuala! Google toolbar is back!

    A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
    Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially. 
    I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
    You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

    Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,

    After powering the iPhone off and on, the light goes out but turns back on randomly or immediately after powering the iPhone on?
    Since nothing else you have tried has resolved it, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup first.
    If no change after that, try restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
    Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

    Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
    I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
    It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
    I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

  • My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

    My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

    I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited.  In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items.  I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible.  I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected.  Hope this helps!

    I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

    The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

    Double tap Home button and delete Camera app from multitask-list.
    Do a
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • When i open iTunes U it comes up with just the brown bookshelf but no icons to click on and then it closes. I've deleted it and then re-download it and it still doesn't work.

    On the bookshelf there's no icons to click on and after a mintue it closes. I've deleted it and then re-download it and it still doesn't work. Im using a ipod touch 4 and im on 5.1.

    I, too, am having this problem and it's annoying.  The app just shuts down every time I use it. Too bad cuz it looks lie there are so many wonderful courses in the catalog.
    Any tips on how to fix this would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Hi, hopefully you guys can help me out, I just
    purchased a G5 iMac to replace my aging dell desktop,
    and now i'm more or less completely os x dependant
    (I've had an ibook for a few months now). Anyway, I
    have a few questions:
    1. Does anyone know of a (free) mail notifier tool,
    that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I
    used to use AIM for this in windows
    The built in email program does sound an alert for new messages.
    2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
    iChat works well.
    3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering,
    it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal
    to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad
    flicker, but I could see it.
    No idea.
    4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a
    problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course
    after 30 mins
    You could set the iMac to go to sleep after non use. My Macs are
    always sleeping when not in use, waking them up takes seconds.
    Unlike windoze, never knew if it would be locked up or not.
    5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually
    against them, but I am expecting this computer to
    last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!)
    before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell
    and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly
    as fast as Windows pc's.
    It is well worth the cost. Never know what might happen. Also
    it is good insurance for future upgrades. I traded in my G4 tower
    purchased two years ago for 75% of what I paid for it. Apple care
    transfers, giving the buyer the remainder of your warranty.
    Thank you for any help,
    -Evan
