WoW wired headset suddenly stopped working

I took out my microphone briefly and then logged into vent and forgot to plug it back in; this happens a lot, and it's never done any damage. When I did it this time, my headset stopped working full on. Plugging it in doesn't make it light up - logging into vent causes vent to shut down, and there seems to be no way I can troubleshoot it because even the audio control panel doesn't recognize it. I've delt with my voice becoming "digitalized", requiring me either unable to speak in vent or having to restart my computer, and even the poor sound quality of the microphone itself, picking up all the sounds around me - but now it's not working because I unplugged the microphone for a second? This thing cost way too much to be so fragile. Is there a way to troubleshoot this thing back to life or should I can it and call it a day?

Sorry about that but it sounds like something's wrong with the headset. If you have not already, I suggest you contact the place of purchase or contact our Customer Support if you purchase this direct from Creative to arrange for an RMA.

Wow Wireless Headset Mic stops working on Mac OSX 10.6.3

I'm running the April drivers and firmware for my wireless wow headset. After the install of the drivers all was working great. No lag from mic etc. I shutdown my computer went to bed. Next day I booted up, worked a bit and then turned on my headset. Sound worked fine but no mic input detectable from any application. Unplugged the transmitter and replugged it. Sound still works but not mic. I rebooted with the headset on and mic worked. I assumed headset needed to be on during boot up. This morning same thing but even reboot with the headset on doesn't give me microphone functionality.
I've double checked the mic is plugged in properly to the headset but i just can't get any sound out of it.

Ok, I found a work around. It seems the mic doesn't initialize sometimes when i boot up and power on the head set. I can tell the mic isn't working because if i press the mute button the red light doesn't come on indicating I'm muted. To fix this i power off the headset and power it back on. This takes several attempts. I also found it seems to do better at initializing when its not plugged into the charging cable.

Wired keyboard suddenly stopped working.... help!

I have just turned on my iMac to find the Bluetooth Set-up Assistant trying to "locate a keyboard" even though there is one plugged in and was working perfectly fine when I last shut down. I have tried all 3 USB ports at rear of iMac and the keyboard is still not recognised but the mouse works. I am currently using a keyboard from an older Mac that works fine so is there anything I can do to get the computer to accept the new keyboard again? Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, try the SMC Reset route..
Then Repair Permissions...

Mic suddenly stopped working

Okay so. I have a Turtle Beach Ear Force X12 headset which has been working great since I got it a couple months ago, well today it suddenly stopped working skype says my mic is muted and it's not, I can hear myself through the headset which means it's on and at least working but apperently it's my computer that's not picking it up and I have no idea what it possibly could be, I'm on Windows 7 btw.
Also skype kept moving the mic volume thing all the way down but I don't know if that's related at all.

When I make a call my mic doesn't work. Looks like I'm not the only one experiencing problems. Skype is slow and often won't even hook up. Tried my wifes mac with same result, my blackberry phone same result. I've become aware of how dependend on SKYPE i am.

Hello, my backspace and enter keys suddenly stopped working. I have done a PRAM reset and used the keyboard viewer to see if the buttons work and they don't. The PRAM reset didn't work either

Dear All, the backspace and enter keys on my wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working. Im using OS 10.7.5 and have tried a PRAM reset which didn't work. I also used the keyboard viewer to see if the keys worked on that but they don't. This is driving me mad, can anyone please tell me what to do? It happened just after an update but this could be a coincidence. Thank you for your time

For my computers, though some of them support BlueTooth devices and accessories,
my preference and economy of standard, is to have wired USB and also use powered
USB hubs for accessories.
I've used USB wired keyboards and mouse products; and some I've bought from the
original owners who had upgraded to BT, and never used the new Apple USB model;
so I have spares of these on-hand since they seldom fail, but do work when BT won't.
{A SMC reset should not cause a problem, or seldom has; but can solve some.}
In my opinion, the wired USB keyboard is an essential accessory, if not a necessary
primary means of user access on a continuous basis. At least until the wires fail...!

WoW wired headset driver installation issue.

Just bought the WoW wired headset yesterday after several installs, uninstalls and googling for a solution, here I am.
I'm using Windows 7 32bit, headset plugged into one of the back usb ports, they light up but the driver doesn't seem to install correctly. Just keeps saying "device driver software was not successfully installed" as well as a "device driver software is up to date." dialog box.
In device manager its listed under sound, video and game conrollers with the yellew exclamation mark beside it and right-clicking and going into properties it says:
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also having problem with WoW wired headset, except on Mac.
Tried installing, uninstalling, re-installing, updating firmware, changing installation directory, different USB ports, manual copying of files, running in 32 and 64 bit modes, etc. I consistently get an error during installation saying that ">System>Library>Extensions>THXTruStudioPCUSBAudio Plugin.kext was installed incorrectly" during installation when the headset is plugged in prior to or after installation. Nothing works, execpt for the basic functionality of the mic and earphones, as well as the lens color changer. Voice FX, THX Enhancements, EQ (reasons I purchased this headset over others), and any other functionality other than the afforementioned working features do absolutely nothing.
I don't mind a little wait, but it seems as though Creative hasn't really responded to the people who have purchased possibly more than they should have for this headset. I am considering returning this headset for a far cheaper set. It might not have all the creature features of this set, but at least they work the way they are supposed to.
Creative, if you actually care about your customers, you should leave notes, comments, stickies, whatever to describe the status of projects and what you have and have not identified. I've noticed plenty of comments on here that describe problems with this headset, and the most that you have asked is for system profiles, and then silence. Not good business practices.
I remember when the Sound Blaster line of cards was king... Then around when the Audigy line came out, it all went down hill. What happened Creative?
If you need information, if you have questions, please respond. I will be more than happy to work with you to solve this problem.

Bluetooth suddenly stops working?

Has anyone had the issue where the factory Bluetooth suddenly stops working on the PowerMac G5?
My G5 (Dual 2 gig) has been working like a champ, and suddenly during use or when it is attempting to sleep, will seem to "lose" the computer. The computer in System Preferences can still see the bluetooth power levels, they appear to be paired, but moving the mouse and/or keyboard does nothing.
A reboot seems to be the only thing that clears it. The only recent addition was a wired USB camera cradle, and the problem did seem to start around then, but I don't know why that would impact Bluetooth. Any ideas?

The problem turned out to be a combination of RF and a hardware problem.

It seems when i do something simple as typing text, it'll stop working and give me a "Adobe Photoshop suddenly stop working". My CS4 32bit version seems to working fine with whatever i'm working on. I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit Ultimate on a new computer Intel quad core with 4gig of ram if that helps. Sorry if this have been asked before but i couldn't find anything on these forums. Thanks in advance.

i deleted the prefs file and now i can open photoshop. but it seems as if it crashes if i open ANY file with ANY text, no matter what the font is.

Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

Satellite L300 suddenly stopped working - new motherboard needed

My Sat L300 suddenly stopped working the other day.
It kept freezing to start with, then nothing at all. So, I kill-disked the HDD and tried to re-install Windows (XP).
During the install it threw up a message that some internal components had been incorrectly installed and needed to be reinstalled.
I was told to remove the memory cards and re-seat them.
That did not work. I thought that perhaps the HDD was damaged, so I fitted a new one, and started to reinstall Windows.
Once again, same message. One of my colleagues at work suggested that the Motherboard was probably U/S.
So I have been trawling the .net to find a replacement. Laptop out of warranty! I am told that some other serial numbered motherboards will work with this laptop. Don't really want to get a motherboard only to find its never going to work! My unit has an SPS number of: V000138330.
I am being offered one with an SPS of: V000138390.
Any ideas? Will this one work?
And if it does, will it give me the functionality that I used to enjoy?!
Sorry for the long sob story.
Any advice gratefully accepted.
ANDY-N

Hello Andy
Sorry but can you tell us more about your notebook? which model do you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
Do you have European model?
Has your notebook valid warranty?
Maybe I have misunderstood something but why you want to exchange mainboard if the warranty is probably still valid?

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

HP Pavilion dm1-4000au Entertainment Notebook PC_Keyboard and Touchpad Suddenly Stops Working

Hi there,
I have an HP Pavilion dm1-4000au Entertainment Notebook PC (QG411PA) running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit for more than a couple of years already. During those times up until now, whenever my laptop is on standby for an hour or so, its keyboard and touchpad suddenly stops working, regardless if its running on battery or on AC power.
I always ensure that I have an external mouse in order for me to navigate properly and pull up the on-screen keyboard in order to type once that issue arises.
All appears to be updated in terms of Windows Updates and I even reformatted it, but issue still persists.
Is this particular issue that I am experiencing a harware issue? Perhaps a software issue? Or maybe a defective model itself?
Your prompt response is highly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Led
