Headphones stopped working after update, sound only on left side.

I have a good set of Bose headphones that have worked great for my MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPod. I noticed after I updated the software for my MBP, sound would only come out of the left side of the headphones. I checked for mono vs. stereo, balance, all the other stuff I could find, but had no luck in finding a fix. I gave up and just used the headphones for with my iPhone and iPad...until I updated those to iOS 8.2 and the same problem happened: sound only through the left side. The headphones still work with other non-Apple devices and even with other apple devices not upgraded to the most recent OS.
Any suggestions on how to fix? Not a fan of my $200+ headphones being useless now just because of a software update.

Try a NVRAM reset:

  • 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.

    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.
    Gameloft needs to do an update.

  • 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.

    Hi jeau300!
    Here is an article that can give you some tips about using your computer with your external monitor in closed clamshell mode:
    Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131
    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.
    Thank you in advance

    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?

  • Headphones stop working after a certain time and the notification for sound change has disappeared

    HP Pavilion dv6-6176sa
    Win7 64bit.
    I have a Pavilion dv6, and occasionally no sound will go through headphones when the jack is plugged in. The headphones themselves are not at fault, they are brand new and work fine.
    When the headphones are plugged in, the sound will only go through the laptop speakers. I've tried updating the drivers, fiddling with the jack and socket (as I read on google), the only resolution I have found is to restart the comp, which is a bit of a pisstake in all fairness and I'd rather not do that every time it happens.
    5 minutes ago I was watching a TV show, listening through the headphones, when I pulled out my USB mouse (and accidentally the charger with it). The sound then switched from the headphones to the speaker.
    If I open the sound settings, it will display the headphones as being plugged in, but the sound indicator bar (thingy) will only rise and fall on the speaker icon bar.
    Currently I have the audio jack pulled out about a centimetre, this allows sound through the headphones, but the sound is noticeably different to what it should be.
    I had rolled it back to "High Definition Audio Device", then reinstalled it to the most current driver. This hasn't fixed it.
    Also, this may be a related issue: (I guess) around the same time, the beats audio notification that pops up on screen when the volume is changed  has disappeared and doesn't display when the volume has changed.
    In microsoft sound control panel, it has the default speakers and the headphone logo, when i plug in the jack, a green phone circle thing appears by the headphone option, meaning it works i guess. However, the description changes from "ready" to "default communications device" and nothing changes for the regular speaker device.
    When I go to >configure, and test each (L/R) speaker, if the headphones are plugged in, the noise is louder then when they're not plugged it
    But yeah, brand new headphones, brand new laptop, it's mad. What's madder is that the headphones will work for x amount of time, then stop working when I next try to use them...

  • MBP Keys 1 to 9 stop working after update to 10.9.5

    Hi,
    I just update my MacBook Pro 13" mi-2012 10.9.4 to 10.9.5
    Keys 1 to 9 (and associated special characters) are having problem to work. I was typping and they just stop working. When I press keys 1 to 9 a lot of time, they start working again for few seconds, and stop again.
    It's very annoying
    I've tried everything I could find on Apple Support (like http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1381), but the problem is still there. I've tried also to restart the computer, and to change session. Same problem.
    Keys worked just fine before the update to 10.9.5
    Is anyone knows or has this problem ?
    Thanks.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Receive Connector stopped working after Update Rollout 2 for Exchange 2007 SP2

    One of the Exchange 2007 servers receive connector has stopped working since installing the latest rollout update for Exchange 2007 SP2 - for some reason the following error is received (when troubleshooting on the adjacent server) :
    "Remote server server.domain.co.uk failed the mail acceptance test. MAIL FROM command: Respond = 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated."
    Most admins will know you usually get this when first setting up Exchange and the receive connector not allowing anonymous connections. But our setup has been working for well over a year with no problems. Even enabling anonymous connections still doesn't fix the problem.
    Our setup is 2 exchange servers across 2 sites, with the problematic server never receiving email from the internet, only from the other Exchange server (which is internet facing). The above error is received when the internet facing server is relaying email over to the problematic server. Though in the message queue the following error is received:
    "SMTPSEND.DNS.NonExistantDomain; nonecistant domain"
    After testing DNS that all seems fine, so I don't believe it's a DNS problem.
    Any ideas why this would happen?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi Matt....
    To receive e-mails from the external servers or domains or clients, you can setup a new receive connector on Hub Transport Server. To do this task, you can go through the steps mentioned in this blog....

  • Data services stop working after updating to new OS version for Q10

    I am from Qatar, after i updated my device ( Q10 SNQ100-3 ) to new OS ( 10.2.1.537 ), the mobile data services stopped working, but it works everytime I connect to wifi. This is the same with Z10. Please need help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
    2) Reboot
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Itunes stops working after update windows 7

    I am using Windows 7 64 bit and recently updated to itunes 12. After a few minutes itunes crashed with the "has stopped working" message. I have reinstalled, created a different user account and got rid of all other Apple programs all to no avail. I even reinstalled itunes 11 but it would not recognise my library. This is driving me mad. Seems I'm not the only one. suggestions please!!

    I'm going to ask the hosts to move this to the windows part of the iTunes part of this forum. YOu'll stand a better chance to get an answer there than you will here.

  • 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.
