Internal speakers not working after upgrading to Maverics

internal speakers not working after upgrading to Maverics

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Mail not working after using migration assistant - what am I missing?

Mail not working after using migration assistant - what am I missing?

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

Internal mic not working after updating to 10.10.1

After updating to 10.10.1 (from 10.10) on my MacBook pro 2010 (15” screen) the internal mic is not working when using FaceTime (or Skype) and so the person on the other end of the video/audio call is unable to hear me. On my end there is a static/crackly sound during FaceTime (or Skype) connecting since the update which I believe is related to the mic problem (no sound input on Mac during FaceTime/Skype).
HELP!!!

I had exactly this same issue and and this workaround from Paul on another thread (Internal Mic not working for phone calls in Yosemite ) solved it :
Make sure FaceTime App is not running
Open Terminal
type sudo killall coreaudiod
Press Return
Enter your computer's admin PW

Hot Corners not working after using Call of Duty 4

So I have noticed that Hot Corners are not working after i use COD4.
I know that the game uses different resolution and somehow interupts the hot corner software. Buty why and how I dont know.
I very often close COD4 by using Cmd+Q (or something like that)... But it doesnt matter if I quit it the "real" way. Hot corners still stops working after I use it.
Hot corners works again if I reboot my iMac and also if I have used COD4 then go to System Preferences and Hot Corneres and make one change there.. then it magically works again.
Does anyone have any definate solution for this.
PS: I have an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. 4GB 1067 MHz RAM and Lion 10.7.3.
I also have a Macbook Pro with the same problem.... and both computers running Lion OSX and are always updated....
Peace

Does your 8600M GT have 128 or 256MB VRAM? Both versions shipped with that model MBP. The game sysreqs says that, while 128 is minimum, 256 is preferred. We all know what "minimum" means in software advertising.
Have you downloaded the SL Graphics updater?
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1083
It's supposed to fix certain games but it's worth a shot.
I'm surprised that the temp doesn't change. Even running the COD2 demo on my Late 2007 2.2G with 2G RAM and the 128MB version of the 8600, temps go up to 160-170F. That was under 10.5. Just upgraded to 10.6 Sunday, so I guess I should check COD2 again, because SL seems to run cooler on my MBP.

Mic not working after upgrading to Leopard

Well I had an external mic on my iMac working fine with Tiger. I buy Leopard and upgrade... and all of a sudden it does not work anymore.
Now I know that iMacs have a line in input and not a mic input, but it worked with Tiger so why should it not work with Leopard?

I don't have solutions per se, but I can confirm the problem and report that AppleCare claimed to be unaware of it as of early this week; I was alleged to be the first to call in. (I'm special, but not that special.)
I went to Level 2 tech support, and during the long wait I thought I had succeeded in getting Mail to work by using my .Mac SMTP for both my .Mac and regular ISP accounts. I relayed that work around and left the call. (The Level 2 techie was stumped as well.) But the solution was short-lived.
To be clear, the problem is intermittent failure (or arguably, intermittent success) using Mail, for no clear reason. Performance of the outgoing mail server is much worse than the incoming mail server. The very fact that it is intermittent makes diagnosis very hard, because many fixes you try seem to work -- until they don't.
First, the problem is on both my MacBook and my iMac and appeared only after installing Leopard. Thus, it is not machine-specific. AppleCare tried to blame my iMac installation for the problem until I demonstrated that it was common to both. Level 1 tech support even suggested that there was something I did wrong on both the Macbook and iMac. Then they blamed my ISP.
Second, I have MS Entourage on both computers but don't use it, so I fired it up and Entourage works fine. So now I have proof that the problem lies in the Mail program or its interface with Leopard.
Third, my lack of success with AppleCare means they have no clue. I'm not pestering them again because it takes a lot of time and they want users to do very burdensome things, like archive and reinstall, just because it's on their checklist.
Not for me. Until Apple fixes this huge, huge bug, I'm just using Entourage for mail.

In-built mic not working after installation of windows 7 on my hp nc8430

So I installed windows 7 on my laptop which originally was running windows xp (hp compaq nc8430) and it turns out that the inbuilt mic is not working and it won't even recognise the SD card that i insert in the card slot. Everything was working perfectly before the installation. I checked the audio devices in control panel and it says the microphone is not plugged in. Also the screen resolution is weird, it won't go above 1024x768, everything is too big for my liking.
Could someone help me out please? Thanks in advance.

Audio / Sound Card not working after Soundblaster.USB.Audio.Support.pkg

Ok, first - confess - it was stupid. I installed the Soundblaster.USB.Audio.Support.pkg package, which i downloaded from the internet, to make the harman Kardon Soundsticks (USB-Version) working, as nothing happened when plugging them in.
First, it ruined the mouse working after reboot and also disabled the internal sound card, not even as device available anymore. I fixed the mouse problem by installing IOUSBFamily-281.4.0-log(PPC).dmg
How can I make the sound card be available and working again ? I also updated to 10.4.11. Did not help ! Can you ? Thanks !

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
First, look in system preferences, accounts, and for your login account look at login items to see if there is a Soundblaster USB module that is loaded when you reboot your system. Delete it if there is one.
If you updated to 10.4.11 by software update, download the combo update from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html . The combo update is a complete update for all updates to 10.4, and installing the combo sometimes fixes odd things.

Keyboard does not work after using Support Drivers

I have a Macbook Pro 4,1 15" 2.4GHz C2D, and managed to get Bootcamp installed on it with Win7 Home Pro. I have verified that it runs correctly, but it is missing many of the drivers needed to make things run smoothly. I no longer have my Leopard disks that the machine came, so I figured the WindowsSupportDrivers would be the way to go.
When I install them and reboot, the keyboard does not work. When I hit capslock, I get the caution notice indicating underneath my password field indicating the capslock key is on, so it's not like my entire keyboard is disabled. The system is unusable right now, since I have to enter my password to login, and it does not take any keyboard input. Using an external keyboard did not resolve this issue.
I did a system restore to get it back to a usable state for the time being.
Is there an alternative to the BCA support drivers or the Leopard disk? What's going on with my keyboard after the driver update?

Maybe you have installed obsolete drivers. If you have Lion, open Boot Camp Assistant (Applications > Utilities) in OS X and download Boot Camp drivers

Aperture 2.0 Activation Key does not work after using older trial version

I was using the installed trial version of Aperture 1.5+ in my recently purchased MacBook Pro Duo (December 2007). After using the trial version for 30 days I debated whether to take the plunge ...and then within a few days recieved word that v2.0 was out at 199$. That motivated me ...however, here I am nearly one week later without ability to activate a full blown version of 2.0.
I recieved the activation key, but it doesn't accept it in the dialog to upgrade in the trial version. Hint seems to be that it is not a serial number I am entering but an activation key.
I did not order a boxed version, so what do I do now? Support is not too helpful as I have searched Apple's website and have no clue as to where to go.
Last resort ... I want my $199 back!

did you download the trial for Aperture 2

Swipe for Notification Center and Control Center not working after using Window Zoom

I'm using iOS 8.0.2 on an iPhone 6 and have noticed that after using the Window Zoom (Accessibility feature 3-finger double-tap), I cannot swipe down for Notification Center nor swipe up for Control Center when unlocked (i.e. in Home screen or within an app screen). However, when the iPhone is locked, the swipe down for Notification Center and swipe up for Control Center is okay. It just doesn't work when unlocked. And the only way to rectify the problem is to reboot the phone.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I have figured out the solution to all of our problems!!! We can keep the zoom function ON!!!! Yay!
Step one. Turn back on the beloved zoom function.
step two. Tap screen with 3 fingers.
step three. Select window zoom. (If already selected move on to step Quatro)
step qautro. Select Resize lens.
and for the moment you've all be waiting for... Drum roll..
the grand finale step. IS...
shrink the window to the smallest size.
AFter you have done these 5 steps, you can thoroughly enjoy having all three functions at once. If you switch back to Full Screen Zoom (if that be your preference) the notification and control centers will remain functional! Bon apetit!
i have been successful enlarging the window while keeping the centers functioning by making sure the window is in the shape of a square.

Sound not working after using AppleTV

I used AppleTV the other day with my MacBook Pro and everything worked find while I was using it. However, I want to watch something on my laptop now, and my sound is not working. The volume is grayed out in the menu and whenever I try to use my volume buttons to turn it back on, nothing happens. I think my laptop still thinks it is connected to AirPlay, but it isn't. And even when I would disconnect from AirPlay but keep AppleTV on, the volume was still grayed out. Please let me know if there is a way to fix this, as I find my self unable to.

Internal Links not working after publishing to iTunes store?

Has anyone else had this problem where seemingly correct Buttons for Internal page links (movement through individual articles)
were not working once uploaded? These links worked on the Content Viewer we were testing our issue on.

MG,
You can get links to work in Numbers documents that have been converted to PDF, but it's quirky.
No links survive Printing to PDF
Links outside of tables (links in text boxes, etc.) survive Export in Sheet View
Links inside and outside tables survive export in Page View
