External Speakers on Macbook Air have stopped working after update.

Hi
I downloaded an update (10.6.8) for my Macbook Air and my external speakers stopped working. I have checked system preferences and nothing is muted and it can detect the speakers but nothing comes through.
If i plug in headphones sound comes through the headphones fine but without them nothing comes through the speakers.
I have gone back to 10.6.7 and the speakers have worked again so i know it is not a hardware issue but upon updating to 10.7 i am getting issues with my speakers again.
Any ideas other then going back to 10.6.7?
Oh and interesting behaviour if i am playing a sound and plug in my headphones the speakers work for a second or two before sound switches over to the headphones.

For the latest:

  • Hi, my iPhone have stopped working after updated iOS

    hi

    My sons iPhone 5 did the same thing after updating to iOS 7.1.
    You may have to connect the device to a computer running iTunes and do a restore on the device. Restore as new. If you don't have a backup everything will be lost but you may get the device working again.

    I have a similar problem, but after following your suggestion of deleting my iphone backup and then turning backup back on again, I needed to plug my phone into my computer to sync the backup.  I re-tried to do an icloud backup and it again told me that  "the last backup could not be completed"... since I had deleted the backup, it says the "Last backup:  never".  Ugh. I reconnected my iPhone 4S to my computer and iTunes so I could sync my phone and do a backup... it's still "waiting for sync to start"...
    For your iCloud backup, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
    If you turned iCloud backup off and try to sync to create a backup on your computer and got a "waiting for sync to start" error, it may be caused by a corrupt backup on your computer.  You could try deleting your last backup by opeing iTunes and going to Preferences>Devices, clicking on your last backup and clicking Delete Backup.  Then try again.

  • Earpiece stopped working after updating to 5.0.1.

    It worked fine the night before.  Then it stopped working after updating to 5.0.1.  I can only hear calls on speaker.  Did anyone else have this problem.  I have tried all the fixes, restart, reboot, restore.  No debris in the headphone jack, and when volume is turned up or down it doesn't show headphones on the screen.  Nothing covering the earpiece.  Tried to blow out headphone jack with compressed air.  I'm thinking it is a glitch in the software.  Using Iphone 4 on Verizon.  Any thoughts or ideas?

  • Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6, help!

    Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6.  The little iPhone charger charges it very very slowly, but the charger gets really hot after a while.  I restored it and everything works but the charger.  It's only a few months old, should I try a new iPad wall charger block?

    Hi,
    I did this after reading the forums and it made no difference. it has actually charged from 14% to 67% but thats taken over 12 hours.
    Will monitor it and if no joy will go to a apple store
    Thanks

  • HT201371 Touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.

    Good morning to all,
    My touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.
    It was working perfectly until the update and then it stopped recognizing my prints
    I've reset the phone and deleted my fingerprints and now I can't even add a fingerprint again.
    I am sure this is not a hardware problem since the phone was working perfectly before the update and it didn't fall nor anything similar.
    Also the sensor is clean as well as my fingers.

    Same problem... I think we all should let Apple know of this issue. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ tell them the probelm. So when they get too many complains they will surely fix it ASAP with a software update.

  • MacBook Air - Camera not connected after update 10.8.5

    After the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5, which I updated on my MacBook Air, and I didn't read the part about the camera saying it might not work for MacBook Air. So., carelessly, I updated and then when I wanted to Facetime it did not work.  Then I realised my camera wasn't working for all of my apps. Are the Apple Company going to fix this? Or do we have to do something ourselves? I need my camera back.

    (1) Do this: (If necessary, print this and bookmark the links before starting the process.)
    • If you do not already have one, make a backup of your important files now.
    • Use the  > Restart... menu command to restart your Mac.
    • Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    • Download and install OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo)
    • Repair permissions AGAIN immediately following the restart that completes the Combo Update.
    • Test your camera to be sure it is working.
    (2) If the problem continues, do this:
    • Restart your Mac using OS X Recovery (⌘-R)
    • Use "Mac OS X Utilities" there to repair your startup DISK (NOT permissions.)
    • Restart your Mac normally.
    • Test your camera to be sure it is working.
    (3) If the problem still exists, do this:
    • Restart your Mac using OS X Recovery (⌘-R)
    • Reinstall OS X. (You will need to be connected to broadband Internet.)
    • As soon as the Mac restarts after the reinstall,
      use your Mac's Disk Utility (NOT OS X Recovery this time) to repair permissions.
    • Test your camera to be sure it is working.
    (4) If the camera still doesn't work, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

    I hate it when updates break things instead of fixing them. Can't Mozilla leave well enough alone? At the very least, each new release should be tested so it works with ALL PREVIOUS extensions!
    Wait till you "update" to firefox 4 and EVERYthing breaks, including the buttons that come with it. There is no arrow next to the dropdown button, right clicking the tab bar doesn't bring up the correct menu, but one as though it were the menu bar (which is missing) and the information bar is missing. True, it's fast, but you'll spend weeks getting it to work properly.

  • Why do some apps stop working after update to iOS 6?

    I notice one of my apps stopped working after the iOS 6 update, in particular Uno HD, which I paid $5 for.  Why did this happen?

    I had solved the problem by installing the free app, which seemed to reset something, then I deleted the free app, and the paid version continued to work until the next day.  I was going to show one of my friends the game, and then it once again would not open- the same problem was back, as soon as I went to open it, it crashed back to the desktop without opening the game.  I had to re-install the free version again, and for a while, neither version would work, but then after a while, it started working again.  I guess I have to leave the free app installed or I won't be able to use the paid version of Uno.
    EDIT
    Just checked again, took the Uno app out of resident memory by double-pushing the home button and holding the app icon til it starts to shake, and then hit the minus symbol, which deletes it out of resident memory.
    Went to open it again, and it of course crashed back to the desktop again.  So there is some issue with it that is making it unstable.
    I have to keep pushing on either one of  the app icons continuously until one of them starts, and then the other one will start.

  • The inspector stopped working after update

    The inspector stopped working after an update. When I click on the inspector button it says "An unexpected error has occured. Please quit and reopen Keynote." Quitting and reopening Keynote does not fix the problem. Inspector does not work in Pages either (it doesn't do anything when I click on it), but it does work in Numbers. I also am having problems opening files created in Numbers before the update.

    How to disconnect your Mac notebook from the display after use:
    For best results it is recommend that you put your computer to sleep before disconnecting your display.
    Note: Some DVI and Mini DisplayPort displays—including Apple's aluminum-framed DVI displays and the 24-inch and 27-inch LED Cinema Displays—can be unplugged without putting the computer to sleep. If you aren't sure whether your display supports this feature, put your computer to sleep before unplugging the display.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Send Link and Mail To are stop working after update to FF v.13 on WinXP

    Send Link and Mail To where stopped working after upgrade to FF13 on win XP. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

    Can you check to see whether your mailto setting got changed?
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
    In the Search box above the list, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause while Firefox filters the list. On the right side, you can select your mail application. Unless it's missing. Are you able to establish the connection?

  • When i use my infocus portable projector, the trackpad on my mid 2013 macbook air completely stops working.

    i have the new 2013 macbook air and like i stated above, the trackpad on the macbook completely stops working. i cant use it to navigate which forces me to use a wireless mouse to be able to navigate at all. i was wondering why this happens and if there any soulution. the projector is plugged in through usb and im not sure if that might be the problem ?

    I wouldn't expect a projector to affect the trackpad like that. Possibly if you go into System Preferences -> Accessibility -> Mouse & Trackpad and uncheck Ignore trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present.
