Headset does not work after latest update...

It is very "strange" that since the latest system update on my Z3 compact my headset is not working at all. I use my all time favourite iphone 4 headset. It worked flawlessly before the update but now if I plug it in, the phone is not recognizing it at all and the walkman still plays on the phone speakers. Before the update I could listen to music, use it for making calls and so on. Since the update, nothing is working. My headset is working fibe by the way, so it is not a hardware fault. Works like a charm with other phones, and on the top of that if I use the app Soundabout the music works with the headset but the calls are still not using my headset. Do not tell me to use the sony headset which was in the package because I hate it. Has poor audio quality, falling out of my ears constantly and the cable is everything but not flexible. So it is a shame that I need to use an app to get my headset work on my new phone...

I understand you don't want to use the bundled headset, however for troubleshooting purposes can you please test it and let us know if it works.

  • HT1192 caps lock function does not work after latest update

    Hi there,
    I have a Macbook 13" Early 2011 and recently after updating my operating system to Mac OS X 10.7.4, i have found that the caps lock button isn't functioning.
    At present if i hold or press the button, it is failing to light up or function at all.
    Is there a fix for this issue, as i have read that there was an update by Apple to stop accidental pressing of this key, however not being able to access its function at all seems to be unusual.
    Your thoughts and opinions would be much appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Robsterhill101

    My Macbook Pro Early 2011 15"  (base model) did this to me last night.
    I did a PRAM Reset, the generic "Cure All Procedure" for Macs. It worked after, but I noticed that the button had to be pressed at just the right angle and with enough pressure. The light would come on and off and Caps Lock functions properly. Continued as normal.
    I put the computer to sleep by simply closing the lid, and then put myself to sleep as well.
    This morning, just before I came on here, my computer would NOT wake from sleep (a whole other issue). Would not wake up by pressing the power button. So I had to do a hard reset, hold the power button down, and press it again after...grrr I never feel good being forced to do this.
    Anyways long story a little bit shorter, I restarted my computer and low-and-behold the Cap Lock is not working again. No Bueno, Cupertino.
    No, sorry, no liquid damage on the keys, and I don't have kids, nor share my computer with anyone but myself.
    Its one of the few things that bug me about this computer. The other is the issue of the computer not being able to wake from sleep. Too often.

  • I use OverDrive to get audiobooks from my library to listen on my ipod. Does not work since latest update of ipod. Converts the WMA and acts like it is putting it on the ipod but then it isn't there.

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.Have yo tried:
    - Backing up and restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Some Widget does not work after latest upgrade

    Today is July 23rd, 2011. By recent latest upgrade, mainly for supporting Lion, where I am still using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, some widget does not work, including Battery Meter, Digital Clock Alarm, Victoria Digital Clock, etc.
    By the way, my company use Chatter and I installed Chatter Desktop. Again, after recent upgrade, it no longer work anymore.
    Do you experience the same problem?
    For those who has upgraded to Lion, do you also find some widget does not work?

    I have read a couple of complaints like that, but not sure it's widespread.
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
    If that does NOT help, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
    If that does NOT help then I suspect the optical drive or media itself, or possibly just needs a cleaning CD run on it.

  • Apple tv not working after latest update

  • Bluetooth headset no longer work after latest update

    I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset for Skype calling and Ventrillo on my Macbook Pro. Since after the latest update, it no longer works. Both input and output doesn't work and the applications hang for about 30 seconds. I've tried re-pairing the device to no avail. Both applications work if I switch them to the built-in microphone.
    I also tried doing the same thing with a Plantronics 245 and I get the same issue.
    Both headset work with my phone.

    FIXED!!!!
    Steps to UNF*ing your Mac.
    1) Install an app called Pacifist
    2) Download the individual installer for the Magic Touch Update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1066 DO NOT INSTALL THIS
    3) Load your OSX Install DVD
    4) Open the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg in Pacifist
    5) Open your OSX Installer DVD in Pacifist
    6) Look at the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package in Pacifist to see exactly what it installed and where.
    7) Find these SAME EXACT FILES on the OSX Installer and reinstall them as root (e.g. using your admin password when asked)
    8) Repair permissions (Do NOT skip this)
    9) Reboot
    10) MOST IMPORTANT: Never install the update again!!
    Your bluetooth headset will work in skype after this. You will replace EVERY FILE THE MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package installed with one from the DVD. If you can not find it, the search bar in Pacifist works wonders.
    You will get an error if you try to reinstall admin.framework about not having permission to install. This will be the ONLY file you will not reinstall.
    Yes, you have more or less, in a very complicated fashion uninstalled the update (software update shows the Magic Touch update as needed afterwards).
    Find me on Skype, where I will be able to walk you through it from my Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset at james.t.bolin
    In case you developers want to know, I'll give you my play by play. After the installation of the update, it borked the bluetooth causing Skype to freeze. Reinstalling all the original kexts from the installer disk fixed the skype freezing issue, but there was still no audio. In fact, after reinstalling everything in the System>Library folder still left me with no audio, but it would not freeze or cause kernel panics at this point.
    This is where I got the magic. I started replacing stuff in the usr directory. Upon replacing the usr>libexec>cups>backend>bluetooth; usr>libexec>hidd; usr>sbin>blued; and the blue.8 and hidd.8 files, I got audio back and the stars aligned in perfect harmony. I suspect apple needs to retool the kexts and rewrite the root level profiles.

  • Fly out tool menus are not working after latest update-help?!

    So, it sounds like there's a compatibility problem. I didn't realize that Firefox accesses Silverlight in a whole different way. Do you think Firefox needs to be updated/patched to be able to work with the Silverlight plugin again, or does the plugin need to be updated to be compatible with the latest version of Firefox?

    First of all, I´m not a IT guy...just a fan of "firefox".
    Regarding your question, since this issue started with the 34.0.5
    version of "firefox" it´s my opinion that it´s "firefox" the one that
    should be updated/patched to work again with "netflix".

  • USB headset does not work after upgrading to Yosemite

    I upgraded MacBook Pro 13" retina  to Yosemite and lost Logitech PC Headset 960 sound.
    System preferences shows it in input and output, but no sound.
    After I plug in and out  headset I loose even internal sound for Spotify.
    When headset is plugged in Youtube videos on Chrome stops playing, when I take them out - video resumes.
    Hardware should be ok, because I have 2 pairs of such headset (both of them are not working) and the same hardware on Windows 7 (bootcamp) do work with headset perfectly.
    Have anyone the same/similar problem. Does anyone has solution? Should I migrate back to Maverick and how to do it?
    Already reset everything what was recommended to reset etc.

    1. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
        Play sound effects through:
        Select Logitech/headphone and then back to "Selected sound output device".
    2.Launch iTunes and play a song through headphone and adjust the volume.

    Hi Michael,
    Thanks for your reply. However how can you upgrade when the program won't boot? I tried downloading again from Adobe but the version that comes over is 9.0. Is there anyway to force a load? Or anyway for Adobe to push me 9.3.1?
    Regards,
    David
    First try removing preference  and or .plist files for Acrobat. Then when you get working try this tip below that might help when you update the application and it fails.
    I've come across this in these forums That may or may not solve the update issue for "some" people:

  • Razer Kraken 7.1 not working after latest update

    Since the update a day or two ago my razer kraken 7.1 headset fails to connect to my ps4. they work fine on my computer, and my ps4s usb ports work fine for everything else. the do not light up, my ps4 doesnt say headset connected, and they dont work.

    They were meant to stop working after firmware 2.00... as their is no Volume amp on the USB headset... The USB IDENT they use is a MONO USB headset chipset. so the headset volume was meant to be non Existant under the USB upgrade that loaded drivers based on USB Chip ident codes... So if they were working after 2.00 your lucky... 

  • IMessage not working after latest update (7.0.2)

    Neither my wife's or my iPhone 5's iMessage are working after the latest update. We reset network settings, etc. and it didn't help. We are only using texts now because the messages don't get out otherwise. After looking it up, it would appear this is a common complaint after this update.

  • MacBook Pro Late 2011 Model - Does not work after Yosemite update

    i recently updated my OS to Yosemite and had in problems for two days but yesterday it ceased to work in the middle of printing a document.
    I need my laptop back up and running since I have school exams soon and vital information and files are in this laptop.
    i Have never had a problem with the laptop before.
    Issues that I have had
    logging in takes at least 20 minutes
    cannot progress further than that, desktop is blank and nothing loads, only the dock.
    battery drains extremely fast
    Safe boot does not even load
    I've tried clearing that VRAM and the other one.
    Cannot access anything at all
    This is appalling and at the worst possible time.

    Please describe exactly what you're doing and what happens.

  • Podcasts badge still not working after latest update WHY??

    I was hoping the latest update would have fixed the problem with the badges in podcasts! But no still the same!
    It's just crazy to me they used to work before i think it was version 5.2, you just opened the podcast apps and the badges told you how many unplayed episodes you had perfect!
    Now you have to open each podcast and then come out  for the badge to work WHY??
    I have tried to go back to version 5.1 but no Apple will not let me so stuck with this inferior version!

    Take the device to Apple for evaluation, most likely the hardware has failed.

  • DVD player does not work with latest update

    I installed the latest update 10.8.2 and now my brand new Superdrive will not work with new MacBook Pro Retina display.  When I plug in Superdrive and try to start a DVD, it say "DVD quit unexpectedly......"   Took to Apple store and they said it was latest update.  Anyone else with this problem?

    Dear all,
    Perhaps you found out yourselves but the latest Software Update, called OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Supplemental Update, solves this issue. I recommend you install it and restart your Mac.
    When you insert a DVD in the drive and DVD Player launches, you will be prompted to confirm the region encoding (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, based on the encoding of the DVD you are about to play). This is normal, and you should confirm it again, even if you did it previously.
    Naturally, if most of your DVDs are encoded for one region and you want to play a disc encoded for another region, please remember you may make a limited number of region changes when you play other DVDs, and the last one will be permanent. So, act with caution and sensibility.

  • Smart mailboxes not working after latest update

    My smart mailboxes are all showing empty, including one whose entire duty is to show unread mail.
    How do I restore their functionality?  I did the index build but from what I can tell that does not affect smart mailboxes.

    Thanks for your suggestion, it has solved my difficulty. For informational purposes I will publish my post and the solution in hopes it will assist others.
    I am running Final Cut Pro 6.0.5. My Sony SR12's drive is recognized during the Log And Transfer process. The problems continue. All of the thumbnails have a grayish/brown band going right through the middle of each one. I am able to play the clip in the Log and Transfer window but as soon as I attempt to drag the clip to the media box, FCP crashes. I had this same problem with iMovie 7 and found that updating to the latest version solved the problem. In this case however, FCP 6.0.5 is the latest version. I have the same problem with Final Cut Pro Express 4.0.1 but again, not with iMovie 7.1.4. I loaded Sony’s XDCAM software as well just in case but it did not do anything to help the situation.
    When I trashed the Perian component along with QuickTime preferences it did the trick. I believe it was the old version of Perian causing the conflict with Final Cut Pro’s Log and Transfer option, not the Quick Time preferences. When I installed the newest version of Perian which is 1.1.3 there didn’t seem to be any conflict and the HD clips from my Sony SR12 imported fine with no further crashes.
