How do I disable the headphone jack on a iMac?

Hey my headphone broke of when it was in the headphone jack on the iMac. I've been unsing a USB sound bar that works great but I'd like to use the iMac speakers. I know there's a way of disabling the headphone jack as the OS controls the hardware. I'm running Mac OS X 10.9.3. Could you guys please give me any suggestions? Thanks

You need to get the busted plug out of the headphone jack. Because there is a micro switch in-side the headphone jack that tells the MIDI setup to only send the sound out to the headphone jack.
Go to > Removing a broken headphone plug - Google Search or take it to your local AASP for service.

Internal speakers not working on iMac.

I am suddenly not getting sound through my iMac speakers. In system preferences / sound, the speakers are not listed as a device for sound output, although headphones are and the headphones do work. When I restart the machine the start-up fanfare does come through the speakers. I am still using OS 10.6.8.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to restore my sound, please?

Why does my headphones only work out of one side on my iphone?

When I put my headphones into any device i have, both sides of the headphones work, except when using my iphone. When I play music in my ipad and computer with the same headphones they work perfectly fine. Then when I put them into my iphone only the right side works. I just don't understand why the one side works but the other one doesn't. I know it isnt my headphones, because they work perfectly fine in any other device. Someone please help me.

I have the same problem, except, weirdly, I have it with respect to my iMac, my iPhone and my iPad all at the same time. It is afflicting multiple outputs (both speakers and earphones) so I know it's some kind of problem with the devices. I can't believe all the jacks are broken, but I also can't find any way to modify the balance settings on the mobile devices.

Hello. I sent my WRT1900AC V1 to Linksys four days ago (Monday) via UPS with a RMA. Linksys paid the shipping and everything. The router is still in route, and it should arrive to their offices tomorrow. Once they receive the WRT1900 AC V1, they are going to send me an EA8500 as a replacement. But I have been reading the comments about the EA8500 here in the forum and it seems to have the same problems. I guess the firmware is extremely flawed in both routers (maybe it is almost the same code?). Anyway, I will try the EA8500 and I hope it works. I bought a temporary router from Walmart and I paid $35 for it. It is a Belink N600 DB. I can't believe that a $35 router is working a lot, lot, lot better than my previous $250 WRT1900AC router. Unbelievable. If the EA8500 doesn't work, I'm going to try and get my money back from Linksys, or contact The Consumerist or someone to get my money back and get a Nighthawk instead.

How can i use office work in iMac?

I want have microsoft work in Imac and relate to my Ipad, which one is the better one should I choise? because it have a lot difference choice in app store

Microsoft Works doesn't run under Mavericks.
Microsoft Office (v 2008 and 2011) run in Mavericks. I think they have just released some iPad versions, but they must be purchased as a subscription service with Office 2013 in order to actually use the programs.
Pages, Numbers, and Keynote can all open, edit Office documents, but they are completely different user experiences from Office. I prefer them due to their clean, simple interfaces, but they won't have all the features you have in Office.
They have iPad versions.
There are also Office alternatives, LibreOffice, NeoOffice, but they don't have iPad versions. They are also not in the App Store (last I checked).

HT3310 how do i get my headphone to work with the iphone?

how do i get my headphone to work with the iphone? Are there some settings
that I need to turn on so I can use my headphone while talking on the phone?

Are you using the earbuds that came with the iPhone? If you are using other earphones, it's possible that they need an adaptor to work with the iPhone's recessed headphone jack.

Help! Battlefield 2 doesn't work on iMac 24"

Hi!
I have iMac 24" with nVidia GeForce 7300 GT, BootCamp'ed Win XP. So, when I try to start Battlefield 2 it crashes straight after the black screen. I suppose just before game's intro. I've seen there in discussions that BF2 works on iMacs with ATI cards or GeForce 7600.
To my surprise I can't find ANY info on this problem except for the list on EA homepage where GeForce 7300 is not included (neither 7600 is). There is not listed any video card of nVidia's 7th generation. There are 5th and 6th which obviously were previous to 7300.
I have installed all latest drivers and directx versions.
Any Ideas?
thanx in advance

Oh, need to add that BF2 works on my MBP but it crashes on iMac. weird...

HT3669 HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.

HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.
I would like to print via the USB connection instead of wireless (the wireless does work, and the scanner works via USB).
I tried connecting the printer directly (via USB) to my MacBook Pro laptop and it worked just fine.
How can I make this printer work on my iMac?
I spent 4 hours on the phone with HP and we did every combination of installation of drivers ad nausum and their bottom line is that it is a Mac problem.
Any help would be appreciated. Will be sending this printer back to Amazon if I can't make it work on the USB.
I am open to questions or suggestions
Thanks,
Chet

After 4 hours on the phone with HP and another hour with Apple (Mavericks support) no real solution other than check everything (removed everything from Login Items, removed all HP software anywhere in the system reboot, reinstall printer) then when nothing worked for the 4500, did an OS Reinstall (boot with CMD+R).
The Mavericks support group did open an incident (# 542875311) and I will update it when I figure out how to find it on the system.
My feel is that the base problem is that somewhere between the HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.49-2 package and the Apple HP Printer software in the Library (version 2.16.1) the app for printing via the USP Port just does not get installed for the mid 2007 20 inch iMac. The scanner is recognized on the USB Port and the Printer works fine on Wi-Fi. I have too many devices to burden my home network with anothe device. Also, every time I put any HP Printer on Wi-Fi, my router (Netgear N600 WNDR3400 running 12 to 20 devices depending on who is home) gets wonky (but that's anothe story...).
Additionally, when I attach the HP Envy 4500 to my MacBook Pro (2010) it works perfect - print and scan via the USB prot and both functions show in the System Preferences - Printers and Scanners just as expected and just as the 3050 does.

HT4623 My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine

My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine. Please help me out, done all the troubleshooting like restarting, side switcing, cleeaning the headphone jack etc.,

Hi I also have this problem. Sound was only working on the headphones and also on the volume slider in the settings app. Everywhere else I get no sound and no volume slider. Now the headphones don't work either.
(I'm using an ipad 2 iOS 6.1.2)
And NO it's not muted. I've reset all settings and restarted the iPad. Been searching forums for a couple days. Some say its a dirty docking port problem, others suggest a Skype or other app update that could be the problem.
No volume control icon appears when I press the volume control buttons. Only says sound effects, if it says anything at all. Most often there is NO volume icon. YouTube, video, music, and other game apps, no sound.

Remote on Headphones not working...and it isn't fluff

Hi,
So today randomly the remote on my (latest Apple) headphones stopped working. As in it won't play, pause, skip, adjust the volume, or start voice control. I know it's not the "fluff" people on other threads have talked about swabbing out of your headphone jack because a) I tried that and b) the remote doesn't work on multiple devices I've use it with in the past. I don't know if this is related to the wire because I hear sound out of the right plug, but the remote on the right wire doesn't work. And this literally just happened today.
I bought an iPod touch 4G last September w/ Apple Care, and then bought the remote headphones for $30 from apple in February. Does the AppleCare cover these, even if I didn't buy them with the iPod? (probably not, stupid question). Can I swap these for new ones after 7 1/2 months? I'm not paying $30 AGAIN because the remote feature just stopped working one day, in the middle of a bunch of days of normal usage. And that feature is the reason I went and spent the $30.
Any suggestions? Any policy/warranty stuff? Anything will be appreciated since I use the play/pause/volume buttons pretty much every day.
Thanks!
Jake

I would bring them into your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and demonstrate this issue to them. The headphones should still be covered under the 1 year warranty against manufacturer defects meaning Apple should swap them out of for you. Either way, a trip your local Apple Store would be your next best bet.

T5400 I cant get the headphones to work on this system

I recently got this system for xmas. I actually have two issues....when i run a speaker test all speakers work, but when i am playing music, i use winamp, the center speaker does not work. I also can not get headphones to work either. Any tips?
Message Edited by QtLostInOz on 01-11-2005 07:57 PM

you need to go into winamp and go to the output plugins and I forget which one it is but you need to configure the output plugin to enable 5.1 music. When I get home I will check and give you the full where to go and what to do thing.
