HT1338 HELP my speakers won't turn on and the volume is greyed out!

iTunes randomly crashed... hard.
I hard rebooted my computer, and now my speakers won't play any sounds.
when I press the volume keys, the logo for speakers is greyed out, and there is a circle with slash to indicate not allowed.
My volume bar in the menu bar is greyed out as well.
What in the name of all things holy is wrong with it and how can I fix it?

I have gone into the sound settings, and my options for output are the internal speakers, and the audio aggregate device, neither of them work.
I have also tried plugging in and pullin out headphones to no effect, and whenever there is headphones inside the jack, the same lack of volume/ volume options happens.
I even tried resetting the special Rama by restarting and holding command+ alt + r + p, and. It made the startup spud, and nothing else.
If someone could help me, I have a gig in a week, and this is not something I really have the time to deal with.
Thanks.

    Most likely.
    You can try to boot from the Install DVD for your Mac and run AHT from there if it boots.
    If not it sounds like it is time to take it to Apple for repair.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
    ~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

  • Computer won't turn on and the power cord doesn't light up

    My problem with the computer is that it will not turn on. The battery is fully charged, power cord is plugged into a working outlet. I have held down the power button for 10 second or even longer. Nothing turns it on and the power cord doesn't light up at all. Any thing will help.
    Thanks

    First, check that your AC outlet has power. Second, see this article: Intel-based iMac- What to do if your computer won't turn on and this one Resetting MacBook and MacBook Pro System Management Controller (SMC).

  • My macbook air won't turn on and the led light on the cord doesn't light up

    I can't get my macbook air to turn on and the cord light won't go on, either. It was not dead last night when I shut it down . . . any ideas?

    Hello srsymington,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your MacBook Air will not power on, I'd like you to please reset the SMC as directed below.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • HT4534 I installed facetime on my computer in May 2011. It worked great at first,but now the volume goes out when I am on calls.What can I do to stop this from happening? Its not my speakers,I have used Skype and Google+ and the volume never goes out.

    The volume on my facetime goes out very frequently. I can hear the person just fine, but they can not hear me. I have checked my app store to see if there have been any updates to the version of facetime that I bought in May 2011 and it's not. Is there anything that I can do to fix this problem?
    By the way it is not my speakers. I have used Google+ and Skype, and they both work just fine and the volume does not go out.

    Thanks, it seems that it doesn't like to play games, which is a bit of a bummer as i bought this specifically because it was capable of doing that.  To be fair, it is capable... I just need to get used to a sound like sitting by a washing machine on spin cycle...  Wish they would make people aware of this in the Apple Store, its very misleading and not at all desireable.

  • My iTouch won't turn on and the computer doesn't register it when plugged in.

    The screen never went white or crashed, it just won't turn on. I tried plugging it into the computer but it won't register and the base of the iPod near the plug area got really hot. I don't know what's wrong with it or what to do. Help please?

    Any charging icon when the iPod Touch get connected?
    If no, you can let the iPod Touch connected with any power source, such as computer usb port, then press and hold the "sleep / wake" and "Home" button at the same time until you can see an Apple icon on the screen (usually take around 20 seconds)
    Maybe you have to send it to Apple if still won't switched on.

  • IPod Touch 5th Generation won't turn on and the home button is broken, followed the steps from another thread but it's still not working

    I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation with iOS 8.1, my home button is broken and I've been using AssistiveTouch for months now. Today I just locked my iPod and it wouldn't unlock again, it doesn't respond at all, it won't turn on. It was almost fully charged, so it's not the battery. I followed the steps from this thread, but I'm still getting the "USBMuxListenerCreate: No Error" message in CMD Prompt. I bought my iPod abroad and even though I do have the warranty, I've been told at the iStore that it's not valid here, so going to the store isn't really an option. Any ideas how to solve this?

    Sorry, but without a working home button it is not possible to reset or restore your device. You should visit an Authorized Appel Service Provider or Apple Store to get it serviced. The warranty for an iPod is not limited to the country where it has been bought, check here: one-year limited warranty
    Jailbraking the device will void the warranty.
    You can check the warranty status by inserting the serial number on this page: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    A list of Authorized Apple Service Providers can be found here: iPod touch - Contact Us - Apple Support

  • My iPhone 4s won t turn on and the motherboard gets hot when I connect the battery

    Attempted to replace my front and back glass (for the second time, first time was successful) and i'm not sure where I went wrong but as the title says... it will not turn on and as I connect the battery to the motherboard it starts to get hot immediately after trying to turn it on. I have included a picture of the mother board, the area that gets hot is in the red square.

    Sorry, but we can't help you with problems occurring after you have opened and tried to fix some hardware of the phone, due to the Terms of Use of these discussions.
    The warranty for the phone is gone now and Apple will not service the phone either anymore. You'll have to look for a 3rd party repair center to get that fixed.

  • After updating my iPod touch it won't turn on and the apple icon stays on. What do I do ?

    My I pod won't turn on. It was updated with new software and when it went to restart the apple icon comes up and stays up, but that's it. The only other action we found is that the charging indicator has come on but that's it. What should I do?

  • My iPod won't turn on and the screen flashes white

    the other day while using my ipod it all of a sudden reset and a diagnostics screen appeared and it started running all of these tests after which it stopped working. i then proceeded to plug it into my computer which recognized it and, after disconnecting, worked for about 10 minutes before it kept flashing in between the apple screen and the low battery screen. after a little of that it shut off completely until i plugged it back into my computer. After plugging it back in the screen lit up white and stayed lit until unplugged. once unplugged it flashes white every few seconds and thats it. my computer no longer recognizes it and restarting/reseting does not work. i could use all the help i can get. thanks.

    Any help here?

  • My Ipod 5th generation won't turn on and the home button is broken. what do i do?

    My iPod was working fine all day and then I locked it and when I came back to it, it would not turn on and it had almost a full battery. I have tried to plug it into it's charger but it still wouldn't turn on so I plugged it into the computer and that didn't seem to work either.  I would try the method of holding down the home button and lock button down at the same time but my home button is broken (which I also do not know why it has broken). PLEASE HELP

  • My phone goes silent mid song, the song shows its still playing but no sound. if I try to turn up the volume its greyed out

    My phone goes silent mid song. It shows the song is still playing but no sound. If I try to turn the volume up its grayed out...how do I fix this?

    try doing a soft reset. push and hold the home button and power button at the same time until the phone powers off completely. only release the buttons when you see the white apple pop back up on the screen if this doesn't work you will likely have to do a complete factory reset which can be found in general settings of the phone. hope this helps!
