Cannot get sound to work on Mac Book Pro.

MaBook Pro. OS X.  Version: 10.6.8 Sound won't work. I have gone to system preferences and checked "sound"--that seems to be fine.

There may be a resolution through use of the System Management Controller (SMC)
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
If the use of a headphone and the audio jack in the computer does not gain access to
sound output, (indicating other issue, if it does) then the SMC may help reset the Mac
since the issue may be software, hardware, or both to a minor degree.
And if those don't work you may have to contact an Apple authorized service provider
for testing, diagnostic, and/or repair purposes. If you manage to set a Genius appoint-
ment at an Apple Store, they may be able to perform diagnostics on this issue.
•OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM  - works w/ other Mac OS X versions.
Hopefully the reset SMC - or perhaps reset PRAM - may help.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • The sound stopped working on Mac Book Pro OS X?

    The sound stopped working. Firefox installed updates and since, the sound is disactivated. I went to preference, and the silence box is checked, but it doesn't allow me to uncheck it. The sound peripheric is not recognised it seems. What can I do?

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Make sure Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so uncheck it.
        Option click the speaker icon, if present and select Internal Speakers.
    6. Launch iTunes and play a song. Adjust the volume there.
    Best.

  • HT1338 how to install ms office work on mac book pro ?

    i want to install ms office work in mac book pro eg word , excel , powerpoint n all ... can someone please help me how to get this one ?

    You have to buy it from Microsoft
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products
    or from a retailer that sell it.  Looks like even the Apple Store sells it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/search?find=office+for+mac
    If you don't speciflcally need Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, you can consider iWork from Apple, which is available from the Mac App Store
    Pages - Numbers -  Keynote
    You can also consider "clones" of MS Office

    i am looking to get a new 13 inch mac book pro, what is the max RAM that I can install.  I know configured from Apple is 8 GB, but can I put 16 GB after?

    Yes, you can install 16GB in your new macbook pro.
    Go here (OWC) and here (Crucial) to give you options on how much you want to spend.
    Good luck.

  • Will AIR ac power cord work for Mac Book Pro?

    will AIR ac power cord work for Mac Book Pro? I've lost my MBP cord.

    No. It does not provide sufficient power for a MBP unless you have a 13" model that uses a 60 watt adaptor.

    I suspect security software or a firewall is your problem.

  • I cannot retrieve my emails on my Mac Book Pro operating on 10.7.3 Icloud was already workingit keeps asking for password and when i put correct password in it keeps asking for it again and again. This has just started today

    I cannot retrieve my emails on my Mac Book Pro operating on 10.7.3 Icloud was already workingit keeps asking for password and when i put correct password in it keeps asking for it again and again. This has just started today

    Though it's unlikely to be wrong if things were set up properly in the first place, as a check go to Mail Preferences>Accounts and check that the server setting for IMAP (incoming) is imap.mail.me.com (not just mail.me.com).
    Your next step either way would be to go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign out, then sign back in again. (You can ignore warnings about data disappearing - your calendars etc. will disappear when you sign out but reappear when you sign back in).

  • My camera Nikon D800 don't work with Mac Book Pro retina... Why ?

    Somebody Know why my digital reflex Nikon d800 don't work with Mac Book Pro retina ?

    I shoot tethered which requires that the D800 be recognized by the laptop. 
    However, I just figured it out. Nikon changed their USB protocol so that the D800 doesn't show up as a mass storage device.  That said, the d800 IS recognized by image capture and be computer in general, just not like previous Nikon dSLRs.  If you're tethering via Lightroom make sure the Nikon tethering plugin is enabled (which it may not be if you previously shot tethered with Canon).

  • Control key (^) combined shortcuts does not work on mac book pro

    All shortcut combinations with the control key (^) do not work. I´m using Mac Book Pro 13 (late 2013) with Os X Mavericks 10.9.4

    The Logic Board is the Main system board. In the Windows world better known as the Motherboard. Except with Apple Mac computers the CPU and the GPU are Soldered to the logic board and if it is a Retina screen model the RAM is also Soldered to it.
    So replacing the Logic board is like replacing the compete system and costs accordingly.
    But there isn't much else you can do if you can't get that switch unstuck. Or just go without sound from the built in speakers. They aren't that good anyway.

  • Windows Radius / NPS not working with mac book pro 10.9.4 wired

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get my Radius windows server 2012 working with the correct setting for using 802.1x wired connection for the mac book pro. The only issue I'm having is there is not much setting in the mac book pro. I'm not sure what need to setup on the sever to make it connect correctly and assign it to the correct vlan when it's authenticated.
    Here are some screen shoots for my mac book pro
    So I've got it up to a point where I have this issue and here is my screen shots setting:
    So the above are my windows 2012 screen shot settings.
    On the mac book pro, I'm getting a prompted about adding certificate and I've added that into the laptop and then I need to put the username and password information. I put the following:
    [email protected] and the password.
    I'm current working with someone at HP on the switch settings, everything looks good.

    Again I don't know what's the correct setting the default 802.1x for mac book pro, but it should correct.
    I'm also not sure what the internal error message is regarding about. The switch should automatically put me to vlan 7
    Can you some please help out what the correct authentication method for mac 10.9.4.
    Thanks

  • Can't get WIFI on my new Mac Book Pro

    Setting up my new Mac Book Pro and on the WiFI page, I see and select my network name.  Enter password and it hangs.  Try other networks and get same result.  I have two iPads and they work fine as do other devices. I thought I maybe maxed out on my router so I disconnected two iPads from the network and the Mac still hangs after I enter the password.  I know the the PW is right cause I can reconnect my iPads.  DSL router is a Century Q1000. Does the Mac Book Pro require a different WiFi router?

    i can't find idvd on my new mac book pro? I've looked everywhere.
    A sad loss to bundled software, with, I presume, their thinking being that optical media is soon to be a thing of the past. Superdrives have been done away with in the newer MacAirs and MacBook Pros and will eventually disappear in all devices. Downloading Apps, updated, visual and audio media, etc. will all take place via wireless transfer, as with SmartPhones and Tablets. Therefore who will need a program that makes great DVDs?
    Me for one. Still have iDVD on my iLife '11 DVD and will keep it until all my Macs are no longer supported, which could be next year or next decade, who would know. So as babowa says, get a DVD while they are still available.
    Good Luck

    my power adapter gets very hot to toutch on my mac book pro is this normal

    Hot is normal for the charger but very hot is not. If it were mine It could be that your MBP is drawing too much current. I would take it to the Apple Store and have it checked out.
