Audio output has stoop working after mavericks upgrade

a few weeks ago i noticed that when i plugged my audio cable into the headphone jack it wasn't working. i checked the sound preferences and mysteriously this had changed setting to mute. i unmuted it and all was well. i have been away and not used my laptop but updated software yesterday, pages, numbers etc and today when i connect my audio cable to the headphone jack it doesn't work even when system preferences show mute to be switched off.
what on earth is going on with apple????? Why so many problems with mavericks? why can't they just leave us all alone!!!
The problems I am having with mavericks is making me think long and hard about whether I will buy another apple lap top in the future.

You were not using Mavaricks before either.

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

    Re: Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.

    Hey there sarunelis,
    It sounds like after updating to 10.9 the zoom function is not functioning at all. It sounds like you may need to check for 3rd party plugins. This article will help you check for that.

  • Optical audio output has stopped working - can anyone help?

    My optical audio output has suddenly stopped working. I use the Mac Mini as a music centre, so use the optical out all the time. The analogue signal works (when I plug in headphones, I can hear the music) AND I have checked my audio system by plugging another Mac mini into it and it worked.
    I can see the red laser light from the cable when I unplug it.
    I have not changed any settings.
    I presume this is a hardware failure - but it seems like a strange one as the analogue audio is working.
    Any ideas?

    try some of the usual troubleshooting steps:
    _*resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM*_
    _*resetting the System Management Controller SMC*_
    also, run _*Apple Hardware Test*_, using the installation DVD that came with the mini, to see if any hardware problems are reported.

  • Help with Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Editor - Won't work after Maverick upgrade

    I bought Adobe Elements 11 in March of 2013.  It was working fine until upgrading to Maverick.  It will not open now.  Adobe will not help without a serial number.  Apple does not provide serial numbers when you buy directly from the App Store.  After 3 hours of trying to unintall and reinstall, no luck.  Apple said to call Adobe back, Adobe says to call Apple.  Finally just asked Apple to refund me the $85.00.  They said said they ‘can’t’ since I’ve ‘had it for so long’ (7 months ?? ).  They said the problem was my fault because I didn’t check and make sure Adobe Elements was compatible with Maverick before installing Maverick.  I should mention that it states (on the App Store page) that Adobe Elements 11 is "compatible with OS X 10.7.5 or later”.   Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and if any kind of resolution was achieved?   Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Tony

    Yes and no help.

  • IPhone config utility won't work after Mavericks upgrade

    After my upgrade to Maverics, any time I try to use the iPhone Config Utility to install apps on my devices, when I click install, it crashes iPhone config utility.  I've already tried re-installing iPhone Config Utility - Any recommendations?  This is killing my productivity!

    If you are using the Apple configurator there is an update Apple has reasleased for it for support for Mavericks. It seems to be working for me but I'm also using it with the iPad 4th gen.

  • Toshiba E-Studio 603 stop working after Mavericks Upgrade

    At my work place we have a department shared printer through cable ethernet. I've got my rMBP hooked up by a USB ethernet adaptor to the network. The printer used to work properly with drivers installed (official from Toshiba) under Mountain Lion.
    However after I upgrade to Mavericks, whenever I print the Printer job will say "Printing - Connecting to printer" then freeze for a couple of minutes until says "The printer is not responding" and freeze forever unless I close the Printer job window.
    I've tried reinstalling the driver, resetting printer system then add the printer back, reinstall system, etc. Also I'm pretty sure that the department code fields are entered and selected everytime I tried. Thus far no solution.
    Has anyone experienced similar issue? Or has anyone got solutions? This has been really frustrating to me. Thanks!
    Steven

    Thanks for responding. Before adding the printer I'll install their driver and select the one from list. There's the option for toshiba e studio xxx, so I wasn't selecting anything else.
    Anyway the problem is it used to work the way I set up in mountain lion, but not in mavericks.

  • Microsoft Word 2011 not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    After my upgrade to OS X Mavericks yesterday, my Microsoft Office Word 2011 program has not been working properly. After a short while of being open in the background while using other applications, it stops responding and causes the whole computer to act extremely slow. It causes me to Force Quit the application. What can I do to fix this? It never did this before.

  • Does Adobe CS6 now work after Mavericks upgrade? I know people were having problems.

    I have been told that CS6 does not work with the new Mavericks upgrade. Apple Support Chat were very helpful. Advised to contact Adobe. Wondered what other people have discovered so far. Thanks in advance people!

    We have CS6 on multiple iMacs in our department at work with Mavericks. No problems running any CS6 applications at all.
    We have only run into one problem with Acrobat Pro X after installing Creative Cloud, that every time we start that app, it asks for the CS6 license number. Thus we have stopped using it for Acrobat Pro XI.

  • Most of the default Mac Apps does not work after Mavericks Upgrade

    Hi, I did everything, but nothing has brought me out of this misery .
    I Updated Maverick just 2 days after its release. Had no problems, other then slow Finder. I restarted my iMac last week, and got caught with these issues, known to me, not sure what all bugs are there.
    All these apps does not work: App Store, TextEdit, Preview, Terminal, iBooks, Maps, Calendar, Contacts, Mail, etc
    I do not know how to do a clean install, as I had upgraded from Snow Leopord to Mountain Lion and to Maverick using App Store, which does not open at all.
    Hoping to get some response soon from Apple support team to help me.

  • DVD drive won't work after Mavericks upgrade

    I upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, and ever since, my CD/DVD drive will not work.  Discs spin, but then they are ejected.  Doesn't matter what type of disc I put in.
    The drive was working fine before I upgraded.  I have reset the SMC and the NVRAM/PRAM, but the drive still isn't working.
    Any suggestions for what else I can try?

    Others here wouldnt recommend it, but on a new OS install, since I have a giant pile of HD, ...i just grab another HD and create a new fresh Time Machine backup
    after its complete, I take the original HD with the OLD backup and format/erase it.
    Im a tad too lazy to wait, as you yourself mentioned,  1 hour for TM just to PREPARE to backup. Nope, no,...not gonna do it.
    I updated 4 Macs to Mavericks and id rather make a wholly NEW Time Machine backup on another HD and erase the original.
    Since I keep about 12+ redundant archives of my important data, I have no worry on earth of ever losing data.
    Time machine is a backup, NOT an archive for vital data.

    One of the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 is
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    What service did the service people tell you was still needed to get your iMac working correctly and why did you not do that?
