Sony MDR-NC31EM No longer working as headphones, just mic

Tried with support but they couldn't replicate the issue, whenever I plug my MDR-NC31EM headphones in my phone it thinks it's a mic so no sound is played through them, at first I thought it was just the headphones themselves so I ordered a new pair but the new ones act just the same way, I don't believe it's a hardware problem since all other headphones I've tried work like they should, the problem also did occur at the same time as I updated to 4.4.4 so I'm wondering if it's a bug or something, does anybody else have the same issue? I did a software repair as adviced by the support at Sony but that didn't work, I don't know what to do, now I'm here with 100 bucks worth of headphones I can't use!

@munkiz
Glad to hear that it works now
@LondonZ2
Sorry to hear that you have this issue as well.

My Sony CR-10 no longer works with my Mac

After upgrading my Mac to 10.7, my Sony printer drivers no longer work.

Had the same problem with my Kingston FCR-HS3 Cardreader (FW 0123, bought Aug. 2012) when using it on my Macbook Pro Retina 2012 with MacOS Mavericks 10.9.1 on the USB 3.0 port. Trying it on my MacPro Early 2008 with MacOS Mavericks 10.9.1 on USB 2.0 port everything was okay.
When trying to update the firmware of my cardreader to version 0131 (on a Windows 8 notebook) which is only available for Windows, I had an error several times and could not update. After changing to another USB-Port on this notebook everything went okay.
Now my cardreader is working fine and I even notice a rise in transfer speed from 100 (before) to 120 MB/s when using fast CF-cards (600x or 1000x).

It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you.

Since I updated my Mac to OS Yosemite, the scanner on my MX920 no longer works. I just get a questio

Since I updated my Mac to OS Yosemite, the scanner on my MX920 no longer works. I just get a question mark in My Image Garden. It was working fine before the upgrade.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi lalyc,
Reinstalling the printer using the latest drivers from the Canon USA website should get the scanner up and running.
Please click here to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MX922. Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:
1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED FOR YOU" section and click on the CUPS driver file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
Once you have downloaded and installed the CUPS driver file from the website, please also install all other items from the RECOMMENDED FOR YOU and DRIVERS section of the website. To install the rest of the software that comes with the printer, please follow the steps above, except for in step 2 you will want to click on the red arrow next to the "SOFTWARE" section instead of the RECOMMENDED FOR YOU section to locate and download the software.
Once all items have been downloaded, please double-click on each of the items on your Mac to install them. If you plan on using the printer wirelessly, please be sure to install the Canon IJ Network Tool last after all other software has been installed; it should be the very last item installed. Once all items have been installed, please restart your Mac and attempt to scan.
Hope this helps!

Sony HDR-HC3 no longer works in iMovie 08 under Leopard

Hello all,
Prior to my upgrade from 10.4 to 10.5, I had been using iMovie to import from my Sony HDR-HC3 mini DV camera without any difficulty - building a library of video from my rehearsals so that I can prepare doctoral audition DVDs.
Now, since upgrading to Leopard, it no longer works. Has something changed? Using the same hardware, connections, and settings, and choosing either 'large' or 'full' to import from 1080i on the camera, and trying automatic or manual, and connected via iLink as usual, it starts the camera properly, but when you play the tape no video shows on the Mac - when using Automatic it will shortly stop, rewind as if it found the end of the tape, and gives an error beep but no messages.
Any advice? Any known issues that I haven't found?
Cheers,
Aaron

As indicated, I've tried both manual and auto, and I had always used both before - now neither work.
Are you controlling the camcorder manually also and do you specify a specific output (and if you do, did you follow instructions and pull the FW cable to force the change to take affect)?

My volume button's no longer working unless headphones are used

Hi all
The last couple of days, my volume button no longer works (it brings up the ringer box on display, but volume is unchangeable) and the ipod volume slider has disappeared from the screen. I can change the volume in settings, but no sound is being played through the internal speakers when used as an ipod (headphones work fine and volume buttons work with headphone). I still have internal speakers working when a phone call is received or an alarm sounds.
I've tried restoring from backup and hard resets, but neither of these things worked. No new software has been installed since the most recent backup so I'm at a loss what to try next so hoping someone has some suggestions

Thanks Deeco, I tried cleaning the headphone jack but that didn't fix it for me (although I'm not sure leaving it on a radiator all night would generally be a good thing so I didn't try that!!
But I have fixed it though
After the headphone jack cleaning didn't fix it, I cleaned out the charger/docking station connector with a plastic toothpick by running it very gently and carefully either side of the strip of pins - and got out a couple of rather large lumps of fluff - and this seems to have fixed the problem for me.
Hope this helps others fix theirs.

Airplay with Sony RDp-AX900 no longer working

Running off a Standard MAc 21".. 2011 model ... just upgraded the box to Mavericks
Trying to use spotify or Itunes and just want output to go the the external Sony airplay speaker..
Works fine to Apple TV sitting next to it - it sees the Sony but when you select it it just pops back to the Internal Speaker Option ... Thoughts? All working before the Upgrade...
Ended up connecting via BT to the Sony but thats just a fudge really...

Yes I did all the easy stuff first. I even re-installed Mavericks incase a special file was missing. I've totally reset my AirPort Express several times. It's what's transmitting my WiFi and it's super close to my iMac.
It's deffinitely a problem with my iMac seeing as it's not working with both my AirPort Express and Apple TV, also can't access Shared movies on my iPad via Home Sharing so yeah... definitely my iMac. All those other things communicate to eachother just fine.

Microphone no longer works on headphones, problem w/ phone not headphones

This is my dilemna: Something is wrong with my headphone jack on my iphone so that my headphones work to listen to music, but no longer to talk on the phone. In other words the microphone on the headphones doesnt work, so people cant hear me. And i know its a problem with the phone because i bought new headphones and people still cant hear me thru the built in headphone microphone. Has anyone else had this problem and if so can the jack be replaced? Im not due for an upgrade for quite awhile and would pay to get headphone jack on my iphone replaced.

One ear no longer works - not headphone issue

I'm not sure what the problem is, but suddenly out of nowhere, my iPod (video) stopped transmitting music to the right headphone. I know that this usually means that the headphones are broken, but they work fine with other iPods, and the problem occurs with other headphones.
I've only had it since last Christmas. I didn't purchase additional warranty, but would I be able to send it in for repair?
Thanks!

I have the same issue! Any help?????????????

No longer working with headphones

My daughter received a JBL docking station for Christmas, and after plugging in her iPod touch, the volume moves up and down rapidly (the screen indication) and will not play through headphones. What's the next step? I can't listen to her music ALL the time... this is why headphones were invented!

There is a switch IN the connector which Can get stuck removing and insetting headset many times often get it unstick

Sony TRV 130 no longer works after upgrade...

Trouble is I just updated Quicktime Pro...and iMovie ... and a slew of other updates in one shot.
Do I need to downgrade iMovie? (Am I able to downgrade?)
Everything worked fine before the updates.
Just before they changed the forum format I saw someone with the same camera with the same problem.
Now I can't find it with the search feature.
Grrrrrr

I'm dying to upgrade to Lion. But I know some appls will no longer work. I just switched from Quicken to iBank. How can I find out what else I'm going to use? Is there a way on system profile? A specific 'kind' of application?

Is there a way, in profiler? maybe to find out which programs I'll lose when i upgrade? I've already switched from Quicken to iBank. But I'd like to know in advance i I'm going to lose anything else important!

Browse to the Mac page at http://roaringapps.com/. There you'll find hundreds (thousands?) of Mac applications listed with indications as to Lion compatibility.
Surely, there's more to Lion compatibility than merely whether the app is "Intel" or "Universal", as opposed to "PowerPC" (as shown under Software > Applications in System Profiler).
It's a bit surprising that nobody seems to have done an app that scans your system then looks up Lion compatibility at roaringapps.
