First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.

Dd7 do you receive any specific error messages? What version of Mac OS are you using?

My iTunes is messed up, please help

Ok, I have always had no problem with iTunes, for the last like, year I used it. Now, there has been the update, to 7.0, I downloaded that, all good. Now, you see, the problem persists that I when I tried to install it, it says that it can not uninstall the older version of quicktime. I've tried everything I can think of, it won't work. Please help, I want the new iTunes.

In that case you need to go here and follow ALL steps for removing itunes and quicktime, especially "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976

HT1420 I can not deauthorise my computer . Itunes store issue " Can not deauthorise " I think i chose some wrong items . Please help me !

I can not deauthorise my computer . Itunes store issue " Can not deauthorise " I think i chose some wrong items . Please help me !

click on the store tab on the top left of iTunes. Scroll to where it says "Authorize this computer...". Click on that and enter your apple id and password then click authorize. The reason iTunes says that your computer needs to be authorized is because it is to be sure that iTunes knows can trust your new computer

My iPod touch (3rd generation) has been going to voice control constantly and on top of that, I think my headphone jack is destroyed...what can I do?

My iPod is a 3rd generation used iPod I bought at Gamestop this past January. At first, it was working great, but roughly around August and September did it start it's annoying "voice control" thing along with it messing with the headphone jack. I think I destroyed the jack, and maybe have broken something inside after toying with it repeatedly to get it to work, but all my iPod is good for now is a paper weight and for the apps. I can't listen to a song with out it going to voice control, or the headphone jack fizzing in and out. I've gone through maybe three pairs of headphones trying to get it to work properly and headphones aren't the cheapest things ever. My ipod is up to date, I've had to reset it constantly, week after week it seems like, but nothing seems to fix the problem. I'm getting so infuriated, that I might just break down to purchase a new one, or to give up on it completely and revert back to the iPod nanos. At least those didn't give me any issues when I used it.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

It is very likely the jack is causing the VC problem since VC uses the jack for input.

Headphone jack is messed up

Ok so my headphone jack wont work i plug in my headphones and it just keeps playing out of my computer but the only way i can get sound to my headphones is if i shut it then plug in the headphones and open it. but if i take out the headphones then it wont work again unless i shut my computer and then plug in the headphones

If you have any autio enhancement programs from Toshbia you should uninstall them. I had the same issue with the volume being too low and flat and I uninstalled the 2 Audio programs that were for enhancing or EQ'ing the sound and it resolved the issue. Just make sure you do not uninstall your driver. The driver is the only thing you need.
I have a Toshiba Satellite P70 customized laptop.

Headphone jack broken off inside Macbook--HELP!

My dad recently gave me his MacBook Pro, only problem is the audio is completely broken. This occurred when the computer was on the bed with headphones were plugged into the headphone port, and the dog jumped on the headphone jack, breaking it off inside of the computer.... The piece is totally irretrievable; it's broken off far inside of the headphone port. My father contacted the Apple store and I contacted Mac Mall, and they both said the same thing--it will have to be taken apart, and could cost up to $900 to fix!!!
This is a huge expense that I would like to avoid if possible..... my question is, is there any way to get around this problem? Is there any way I can get audio without having the computer taken apart to get the broken headphone piece out? Are there perhaps external speakers that work through the USB port? Or is there a way to change the settings so the computer doesn't acknowledge that there is something plugged in the headphone port? I really don't know! I'm totally desperate. Anything helps. Thanks!

Yes, easy way around it.
look up a JEWELRY REPAIR place, usually they charge $30 or $40
they drill into the back of the jack, then insert a mini jewelers screw and yank it out. Ive done it myself for a customer long ago.
Many jewelry repair people do such things.

Thank you

However, I would first make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and hear what they have to say.

My iPad 1 headphone jack don't work anymore.HELP!!!

My IPad headphone jack don't work anymore. I have tested it with three headphones.Sorry I'm german and my englisch isn't the best.

Moo97-
If your iPad is still under warrantee, contact Apple for advice on how to get it repaired or replaced.
If your iPad is no longer covered by the warrantee, search the web for iPad Repair. There is probably an iPad repair center near you.

The headphone jack malfunction Creative won't help me w

I have a Zen Micro 6GB with a headphone jack on life support. I've tried contacting Creative for the location of a repair depot, but since it's paid for and the warranty's finished they've quit responding. I guess I'm on my own now, and it may not be a "Creative" solution that replaces the Zen. Supposing every company abandoned their customer after the warranty ran out. Wouldn't YOU try another brand Their website offered NO "creative" solutions, or direction to where you could get an otherwise good product once they had your money and had a replacement model to sell you. Well, I'm now looking at home repair, because unless I cough up for a long distance call to someone who may or may not have a repair solution for me, this puppy goes into the drawer with the other dead battery-operated devices, the electronic graveyard. Bye, Creative.

Jonz,?I also am a newbie and I joined to look for people with your Zen Micro headset problem, so I could pass on the help I got. When you read below, you will know why Creative won't help you--Too much to admit!!!. The below web site provides guidance on how to probably fix the problem you have. I just fixed my daughters after finding this fix. When you open up your Zen, you won't believe how cheap the soldering is on both the Headset and the USB connection points. It appears to be generic the 6GB Micro. So, its not IF your Headset won't work, its just WHEN. These are not electrical connections, but rather connections that keep both Headset and USB pieces from moving on the circuit bd. There are 8 total. On my daughter's Zen, one of the four on the Headset module was just sort of laying on top of its mounting point, letting the Headset connector move a lot on the board, as if no solder was installed at all. The other 7 looked they were just glued down--waiting to come loose. Two things not mentioned in the fix.
. When you take the metal casing out of the plastic cover, you may encounter two small cotter pins (not mentioned in the article). Instead of finding where they came from, I just reassembled the unit without them. No problem. 2. One of the Heaadset solder points (for me the one that was completely loose) is mid-on-the-board in between the?Headset and USB?connectors.
The soldering iron adaptor I had would not?reach the point without melting all the Headset plastic and?possibly frying the Headset connection beyond repair. Had to buy a Radio Shack circuit board soldering iron?for about $8 with a narrow shaft and?long tapered point to reach the point. Fix went perfectly. Good luck.

My iPad mini headphone jack not working can you help

SOUND IS MESSED UP, PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!! BASS EFFECT HAS GONE !!!!!!!

Hi,
so i was listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers (Oh yeah !) on itunes on my Macbook Pro (Mid 2010 model, OSX 10.6.7) and the sounds working fine, then suddenly the base effect just went and it's like it's being played on an ipod. I then went onto youtube to see if it was just itunes that was messed up but then the same problem was happening with all the sound on my computer. I then went into system prefs to see if there were any options in there but there wern't. I've already searched for an answer on here and it's not the same sound problem where people can't hear voices on movies properly. I think i'm going to see someone at the apple store soon but i just thought i'd put it on here aswell to so if anyone knows why this is happening.
If you have any further questions just ask me.
Thanks,
Max Runacres

Are you using headphones? Does it only occur if using headphones?
If yes:
- Try another set of headphones
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Music is messed up (please help!)

Since updating to iOS 7, I have run into a problem with my music. Songs that I listen to repeatedly have suddenly changed octaves, and, at some parts, instruments are missing from the sound. These are all songs that I've listened to many, many times before, so I know how they should sound and when they are different. The songs also sound different in iTunes
I was instructed to update my iTunes to 11.1.3, which I did. This fixed the affected songs in iTunes. I connected my iPod to my laptop to sync, and it did nothing but make matters worse. Even more songs have messed up on my iPod (missing instruments and octave changes), and they are affected in iTunes as well. My EQ is off, and turning it on does not help the situation.
Can anyone help me fix this? Please?

MacBook speakers and headphones are not working! Please help.

MacBook OS X 10.6.8
2009 model
I was watching a movie and my MacBook randomly shutdown by itself. I turned it back on and had no more problems, so I restarted the movie. The audio was not working in my headphones. So I tried the internal speakers and there was still no sound. I did a quick google search which led me to trying various options and finally called Apple Support on the phone.
I've tried resetting my PRAM but it only showed an alternating screen between grey and black. Nothing happened. I also reset SMC but that didn't work either. I have checked everything in system preferences, Audio MIDI, etc. and it all appears to be correct.
While on the phone we found that when I plug headphones or an external speaker in, it does not show up on the "output" menu under System Preferences > Sound.
I do NOT have the money to go to a computer store and the nearest Apple Store is 2 hours away. I desperately need help because most of the work I do involves having to be able to listen to sound. Please help if you can. I'm not ignorant when it comes to computers but I'm no genius. If you have any ideas, please be specific. Your help is very appreciated.
PS. When a speaker is plugged in at first, I hear a little crackling from it. The same happens to what sounds like internal speakers if I start a video.

Hi,
Please use the following instructions to check and fix:
