Microphone and Line In Suddenly Not Working Macbook Pro 15" Early 2011

Yesterday without warning, my internal mic stopped working on my Macbook Pro 15" Early 2011. I discovered this when the recipient of a Skype call couldn't hear me, and verified that the mic was not getting any level in the Sound system preferences pane. There is also no microphone input happening when I plug in my iPhone headset to the headphones jack. The audio out seems to be fine. I had to use a USB microphone to get any sound into the computer. I used the microphone just a few days ago without any issue.
I've already tried:
Rebooting
Resetting PRAM
Creating second account to test audio
And none of the above had any affect. Other note: I recently had the GPU of this computer replaced under Apple's special replacement plan. Anything else I should try before making an appointment to have the hardware looked at?

pushyourmind,
If you’re up-to-date with Software Update, then you have the correct firmware installed. If you’re running 32-bit Windows 7, then Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4033 contains the correct drivers; if you’re running 64-bit Windows 7, then Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 contains the correct drivers. Which ever support software corresponds to your version of Windows 7, try downloading the corresponding .zip archive and following the installation instructions on the corresponding link above when booted in Windows.
Boot Camp 5.1 supports Windows 8.1 on your model MacBook Pro if you’re running OS X 10.8.3 or newer. Earlier versions of Boot Camp and older versions of OS X don’t support Windows 8.1 in Boot Camp on your model MacBook Pro.

HT3932 Wireless Keyboard Update 2.0 his update doesn't work! I'm at 10.5.8 on my old iMac G5, installed the update and brightness and volume just do not work. What next?

This update doesn't work! I'm at 10.5.8 on my old iMac G5, installed the update and brightness and volume just do not work. What next?

I have a brand new wireless keyboard... so it's never going to work. BUT... I found a sort of work round!
Since it's eyeTV that I want to control the volume more than the system volume I discovered cmd and up/down arrows do the job. I gess I'll forgo the brightness function.
I'm a little frustrated that it appears Apple seems to want to push me towards an upgrade of a perfectly serviceable iMac G5. I'll be keeping it to watch TV, surf the web, wordprocess and let the macbook pro handle photos & video.

Product key for volume license does not work

Hi,
My organization has a MS volume license and I want to install MS Office 2010 Standard SP1 32bit on another computer. I downloaded the software, installed it and then went as instructed to the start menu to launch the program and received a window asking
to enter a Product Key. I enter the key and then receive a message saying it is not a valid office product key. MS phone help confirmed that it is a valid key but then said they would need to charge over $200 to resolve the problem, more than the cost a new
license.
Thanks,
Kevin

MS Office Standard is a Volume Licensing product - VL products do NOT prompt for a product key.
You can't download VL products from the public internet - only download via the VL customer logon portal (VLSC).
You can't convert a Retail Office product into a VL product.
You will need to obtain the installation source files/media/disc, from the licensing contact/controller in your organisation. (who will obtain it from the VLSC)
If you are the VLSC licensing contact/controller for your organisation, you have downloaded the wrong product.

Backspace key not working - Macbook Pro using Mavericks

I've got a Macbook Pro (early 2011 model) which I upgraded to Mavericks earlier this year and all has been working fine. Over the past few days I noticed my backspace key was playing up (sometimes it worked, other times I had to press hard a few times before it would work at all) until today when it decided it would not work at all. I have already checked in System Preferences and restored defaults as well as resetting the PRAM but to no avail so far. Is there anything else I can try or will I need to take it back to the store and get it looked at?

Since you reset the PRAM, I would take it in for diagnosis.

My iPod touch's lock/hold and volume buttons do not work, my WiFi also does

My iPod has done this for quite a while and the hold button and volume button (no matter how hard or long pressed) does not work. When I go to settings and look at the WiFi button it won't even let me touch it and it says "No WiFi" even when there is. My warranty has run out though and I don't want to have to pay a lot to repair it. Any help?

I would first try resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be restoring it from backup via iTunes in your computer.

Ambient Light Sensor Not Working Macbook Pro 13 inch early 2011 version

Hi. I just need some clarification on how the ambient light sensor works. it seems mine is not working. Correct me if I'm wrong:
1. Screen light must increase brightness if you are in a dark / dim room
2. Screen light must decrease brightness if there is natural light
What must be the level of light in F2? Should it just be in the middle to activate ALS?
Am I correct or not?

1. Screen light must increase brightness if you are in a dark / dim room
2. Screen light must decrease brightness if there is natural light
Actually, you are wrong. The opposite of each statement is true.
If the screen adjusted itself to maximum brightness in a very dark room, it would be blinding. In a dark room, you only need a very dim backlight to be able to see the screen well.
And in bright light, the screen is quite hard to read unless it is very bright.
What must be the level of light in F2? Should it just be in the middle to activate ALS?
I'm sorry, but I don't understand these questions.
The ALS is always active. You can determine (in System Preferences) whether or not it will automatically adjust your keyboard and display backlights as ambient light levels change.

Wifi, Bluetooh and iSight not working MacBook Pro

I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro Unibody. 8Gb Ram Mavericks OS. I powered down one evening, everything normal. Next day I rebooted it to find that I had lost Wifi, Bluetooth and isight. Oh, and the fan runs at high speed constantly.
Ptheise computer is running OK and I can connect to network via ethernet.
Messages are:
1. Wifi - no hardware installed
2. Bluetooth - not available
3. iSight - there is no connected camera.
I have rebooted in safe mode, reset NVRAM and SMC, left it off for 30 hours. Tried an AHT. None worked.
Have checked system information. Responses are:
1. WiFi
Software Versions:
CoreWLAN:          4.3.2 (432.47)
CoreWLANKit:          3.3.2 (332.36)

AirPort Utility:          6.3.2 (632.3)
2. Bluetooth

3. Camera
No video capture devices were found
I'm presently redownloading Mavericks to do either a reinstall, or clean install, but before I do this can anyone suggest a solution? Computer back up is up to date.
NB: I live in Botswana where there are no Genius bars, nearest reliable service is in South Africa and downloads are VERY slow.
Thanks in advance

Restarting Mac may fix it. Otherwise: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
(Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

Sound not working macbook pro

I am unable to controll the speakers on my Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2012. But when i have headphones in my sound is fine.
When i try to controll the volume on my keyboard there's just a "/" over the sound icon
Any help appreciated

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Make sure Mute is not enabled.
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.
Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
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".
Best.

Speakers not working - Macbook Pro

Hi,
Am facing this issue from today, that speakers on Macbook Pro are not working, when am MAC OS. When I boot into Windows 7 (Bootcamp), the speakers seems to be working.
I have checked the mute key, to ensure the MAC is not on mute mode.
How can I debug this issue?

Resetting Mac's PRAM and NVRAM did not helped.
Then I checked Sound settings in System Preferences and in Ouput Tab, the value selected for Sound Output was Apple TV. Probably it got changed when I was streaming the conten yest. using Apple TV.
I changed it back to Internal Speakers and and got the sound back on speakers.
Thanks for all your assistance.

Headphone Jack Not Working Macbook Pro Mid 2012 Running Yosemite

Hey everyone,
I have a Mid 2012 MBP. Just updated to OS X 10.10 and used the headphone jack to connect my external speakers for the first time today. Had no problems t first, but after about 2 hours of using the headphone jack the sound started cutting in and out then about 10 minutes later, they just stopped working all together. Audio works just fine with out them plugged in. Also the sound is cutting in and out using the built in speakers also.
I have Bootcamp(windows 8.1) and I have the same problem when using Windows also. Sounds like a hardware problem but im hopping its not cuz I dont have the warranty anymore(obviously).
Anyone have any ideas?

Reset the PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222?viewlocale=en_US
When it is not working, look inside the audio output port. See if there is a red light. If so, the internal switch is stuck and the jack may free it if inserted a few times.
If none of the above solves the problem, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be FREE.
Ciao.

Keyboard Backlight not working Macbook Pro Mountain Lion

Since updating to 10.8.3 it seems my keyboard light has entirely gone out. I have reset the SMC and the PRAM. I do not have File Vault installed. I've tried Pin Tick app and also obviously played around with everything possible in preferences to make it light up...nothing. Any other suggestions? Mid 2010 Macbook Pro.

One more thing to try:
System Preferences > Keyboard > uncheck Adjust keyboard brightness in low light
