ISight audio no go since System Update

Since last week's System Update my external iSight mic is no longer available as a choice for audio input in any app or in System Preferences->Sound. Have checked all the heretofore posted remedies to no avail. Works perfectly when I boot from my most recent backup disc (no Sys Update from last week). I see some others have had audio AND vid probs but mine is audio only. I get vid in all apps but no mic recognized. Any ideas or do I have to wait for another update from Apple to fix the prob?

Well done on the good troubleshooting and clear explanation in your post, Jimbo!
There is no need to await a later update. My external iSights work with the latest OS system software.
Because your same iSight (and Firewire cable?) works with your pre-update system, perhaps your download or update installation had problems. Run the update again, this time with the Combo version as follows:
• Connect external iSight.
• Restart Mac and then use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.
• Download and install http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048
• Repair permissions again as soon as the restart completes the Combo Update.
• Then check to see if iSight's mic is available now.
If you still have problems, the troubleshooting suggestions here may give you some more ideas:

I am not able to download mp4 files (video and audio) to iTunes since I updated to iTunes 11. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for clarifying. Your question is in your browser, not in iTunes. Each download link is different, and it has nothing to do with the File menu. You can save media files by secondary-clicking on the link to the media file and selecting Save File to "[your downloads folder".

Since system update, can no longer save photos or access galleries

I received and installed a system update yesterday. Now, I can no longer access photos or save any photos. Most of the time, when I press the camera button, I get a message that says "Sorry! The process androoid.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." I also get this message when I go to settings, about phone and it happens at random times, like when I'm checking email or texting.
A couple of times I've been able to get the camera open and take a photo, but after I save it, when I go to gallery, it says there are no photos or videos to show.
I thought all of my photos had been deleted, but I was able to plug my phone into the computer and copy them, so they are there on the phone somewhere.
I tried restarting, removing and reinstalling the sd card, and installing a brand new sd card. Nothing has helped.
How can I fix this?

July a Hard Reset or FR is a factory Reset what it does is takes your phone back to when you bought it new at the store an to get to were you do the hard reset you need to Hit menu > Settings > then Sd An phone Storage an scroll all the way to the bottom were you will see Factory Data Reset but dont Tap on it . Unless you know how to do the FR.
Since your new to doing a Fr Call Verizon go to option 3 or Technical support on a landline phone or a cell phone other than the one that needs the FR Tell them you have the Original Incredible an you need to perform an Fr an they'll help U go thru the steps.
Now you'll have to back up your contacts they'll tell you how to do it an if bought any apps they'll be save you free apps you need to write them down on a peice of paper so you know what you had an can re enter them.
but a wildman said this will help the phone. Good Luck an let us know if it help ya.! B33
P.s Don't unmount your card an don't " format" it.! if you do you'll loose you pictures an Music. as they're on the Card

Since system update my emails wont connect to server- Please help

My emails have worked fince since owning this phone, but as of 5/6 days ago the emails will no longer work. s
I have looked at the settings and still says cant connect to server, so I deleted the account from the phone to then reinstall. But now it wont connect at all and I get the error message could not open conection to server. I have also tried entering manually but still have no luck. I had a system update around the same sort of time so I ma unsure if this has effected things.
I have had to open the Hotmail app from the play stor in the mean time, but would like to get the phone working as it should as this had an email time setting so I wasnt disterbed by junk mail in the evening/night.
Please can someone advise.
Thank Jenny

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
First try clearing data for the email app under Settings -> Apps -> All -> Email -> Clear data and then restart the phone. When you then open the email app it will ask for your email address and password. Enter those but select manual setup, Exchange ActiveSync and then use m.hotmail.com as server address, your email address as user name and see if that works.

Have tried disabling AV, but error persists
Any help appreciated as it is getting really irritating.

I found prosiable solution.
Run untivirus or anything that scans your system, and while it runs film your screen using video recording device. I used my phone. because scaner slowesdown the system your phone or video camera can capture the exact problem your system is trying to show. After freezing the video you will see your problem.
In my case there was a BlackBerry folder that system was trying to delete but wasn't able to. So I went to save mode and deleted it. and DONE.
It worked for me maybe it will work for you too.
Good luck.

How do I fix the audio on facetime since I updated itunes

I updated to the lastest version of itunes and now the audio on facetime will not work. This is the same problem on my imac, my macair and my ipad2. any solutions?

ok, well let me ask a few questions for clarification.
Does the phone show up on the left side of itunes under devices?
If the phone is not even seen by itunes, a sync would not be possible.
If you have looked at the 2 articles that gnome posted, and your device is still not seen on your computer...the next step is to plug the iphone into another computer to see if another computer will see the phone.
Basicly trying to figure out if there is an issue with your USB ports on your computer, or the phone itself
As your phone is more then 18 months old, if you have applecare, you may need to have it replaced, if the phone is not seen on ANY computer.
But if it is seen on other computers, the issue is on your system somewhere, either the ports, or security software

[SOLVED] Audio not working after system update

Hi all,
About 4 days ago, I installed Arch Linux (full systemd) with LXDE on a Dell Inspiron Mini netbook. Everything seemed to be OK until today, when I did pacman -Syu and then installed the SLiM login manager. After rebooting there was no audio. I am not sure if this happened because of the upgrade or because of SLiM. I am pretty new to systemd, so I could be missing something very obvious. I have tried many things so far, with no success:
1) I disabled SLiM and instead started X from the terminal at boot, and nothing happened.
2) I have removed my username from the 'audio' group, added it again, removed it, etc... No change.
3) I downgraded systemd, systemd-sysvcompat, and xine-lib (just in case) to their previous version and nothing happened.
4) I seem to be detecting the sound card correctly. If I run "aplay -l" as my normal, non-root user I get the same output as the root user:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC272 Analog [ALC272 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
5) If I login with SLiM, my session seems to be setup correctly, as far as I can tell:
$ loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID

Thanks Rasi. Incidentally, I just solved the issue a few minutes ago and was about to post the answer, but yes, you are right... the device was muted. It's embarrassing, but it did not seem obvious to me that the device was muted... All the sliders seemed OK, with nice, green values between 50 and 100. Also, the LXDE volume control was unmuted with a value between 50% and 100%, and I ran the 'amixer sset Master unmute' command several times. Clearly, this command does not do the job.
What I was missing is nicely described in the PulseAudio troubleshooting:
If one experiences no audio output via any means while using ALSA, attempt to unmute the sound card. To do this, launch alsamixer and make sure each column has a green 00 under it (this can be toggled by pressing 'm')
I was not pressing 'm'... I know it's on the wiki, but this did not seem to be a PulseAudio issue, which was working perfectly yesterday and was not upgraded, so the PulseAudio troubleshooting was not the first place I looked for solutions. I wonder why the device got muted in the first place.
Thanks again for the help!

Audio-interface unavailable after system update

I use a Behringer FCA202 firewire audio-interface.
After updating to 10.4.10 it is unavailable.
Profiler tells me it is there, but I can not see it in either application nor in the sound-settings.
Any help appreciated...

If you run /Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup does it appear there ?
Try unplugging all devices then reset Parameter RAM (hold apple/option/p/r keys at boot and don't let go until the third chime) then re-connect the Firewire cable.

Audio playback awful since softwear update

I have installed the latest version of iTunes software and now every song I play in iTunes sounds like a poor recording/skipping/distortion. I have also taken the liberty of updating my audio drivers' software, but to no avail. I have no problems with any other audio software, Winamp, Windows Media Player and Quicktime all run fine, as they alwyas did...
...HELP!!!

I suspected that you might get the newer version problem, which is why I advised you to save copies of your two library files.
If you haven't already done so make a copy of the files so that if you decide to go back to the latest version you can reuse the library database.
What you need to do is to drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music library.xml from the iTunes folder to the desktop.
When you start iTunes you will have an empty library. Then use the following method to rebuild your library from the xml file that you previously saved.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
Unfortunately this process doesn't recover all the meta data, which it is why you want to hang onto the version 7.4 library if you want to try upgrading again.
P.S. it is worth looking in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (in the iTunes folder) to see if iTunes saved a copy of your old library when you upgraded. If it did, the filename will include the date you did the upgraded. If there is a saved itl file, with iTunes closed, you can copy it into the iTunes folder and rename it iTunes Library.itl after you draged the other file to your desktop.

Why do I get random BSOD when using Firefox with windows XP pro 32 bit? Seems to happen since system updates on 01/09/13.

I am using Chrome to write this and no crashes. I have defragged with the system defrager and Defragler both. I bought new memory but this issue happened a couple days after install around the time of some microsoft updates 01/09/13. I have run Memtest and a hard drive test as well, done a power cycle and run a disk cleaner. This only happens when using Firefox.

Won't recognize my Audio CD's since last update?

Every CD I put into my MacBook Pro mounts as a Blank CD. I get this:
"You've inserted a Blank CD"
Therefore I can no longer import CD's to itunes.
DVDS are fine but Audio CD's not working.

If it is an MP3 CD, just put it in the drive and copy the files to your hard drive. Then you can add them to your library.

"System Update" refuses to load; perpetual restart message leads nowhere. R40, Windows XP.

Folks,
I get the following error message continuously - System Update never starts up, even after clicking "OK"; the only thing that happens is this error message goes away for about ten or fifteen seconds and then comes back. The only way I can get rid of it is to go into Task Manager and kill both of the relevant processes.
http://files.iclippy.com/109436/1251274772.jpg
I removed and re-installed System Update 3.14 (the latest "driver"), and then removed that and installed an earlier version - no difference. I also repair-installed Microsoft NetFrame 2.0 ( or something like that), since System Update 3.14 apparently needs that - it didn't help .
I hadn't run System Update in - god knows how long, so, wanting to make a fresh back-up after running CCleaner and doing AVG Anti-virus and Ad-Aware scans, I decided it was about time to see what the latest Lenovo updates were first; now this.
Any ideas on how to get System Update to function properly on my machine (R40 2897-54U running Windows XP)?

Hi,
the firs thing, that I saw is, that you are using a realy old version of TVSU. You are using 3.13.0009.
Go to following link and download the latest version of TVSU: <3.14.0024>
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=TVSU-UPDATE
And then make following steps:
- delete the old version of TVSU using Control Panel
- once it's removed, go to %programfiles%\Lenovo
- if you see the folder "System update", then delete it manually
* reboot the machine
- after it starts back to OS install the downloaded version of TVSU
- once it's installed, check whether it's working
From your logs it's obvious, that this aplication could not be started in your environment/OS. TVSU could not be started, but unfortunately the reason is not realy shown.
Test the above and let me know about the results

HT6114 my audio is being funny on my mac. It is brand new, and hasn't had trouble since this update. It gets stuck at full blast with a / though it. then no audio comes out. Once I turn it off it fixes it self thouhg.

my audio is being funny on my mac. It is brand new, and hasn't had trouble since this update. It gets stuck at full blast with a / though it. then no audio comes out. Once I turn it off it fixes it self thouhgh, or if I wait a while it finally fixes it's self. If this happening to anyone else?

I don't think that is normal behavior. The long press is possibly causing the system to force power down, which would then allow it to power back up.
Just to make sure, all drivers are up-to-date? Are there pending BIOS updates? If so, you'll want to make sure it can restart properly before applying the BIOS update
Try an Ubuntu LiveUSB or LiveCD to rule out software issues.
If that doesn't work, try taking out the battery and AC, pressing the power button ten times, then holding it for ten. This is usually the remedy for another issue, but try it anyway.
If that doesn't work, then try resetting the BIOS settings. Then try unplugging the CMOS battery overnight. Otherwise, might have to call for warranty.

Bluetooth audio not working since 4.4.2 update

Since the update to 4.4.2 bluetooh audio no longer plays to my Marley Bag of Riddim portable bluetooth speaker...
http://www.thehouseofmarley.com.au/audio-systems/bag-of-riddim-bluetooth-portable-audio-system.html
But it does still work with my LG HBS730 bluetooth headset...
When on 4.3 it worked fine...with both the Bag & Headset
Interesting to note that my old HTC Desire (android 2.3.3) still streams audio via bluetooth fine to the Bag and also to my LG HBS730 bluetooth headset.
How can i fix it please? It is clearly releated to the 4.4.2 android update...
Thanks
Paul
Edit: Is it possible to roll it back to official droid 4.3 ??

I have same problem, after update no sound from my car player pioneer Mvh-350bt.
