My macbook's audio isn't working.

If I turn up the volume, all I can hear is a loud buzzing sound. It does it with headphones too. I have no idea what to do or what could be wrong with it. I give online music lessons via skype, so I need to fix it asap. Any help would be much appreciated.

My MacBook Air keyboard isn't working, except the power button. I had the same problem over the summer and had it repaired ~4 months ago. What should I do?

The keyboard of my 11-inch MacBook Air, purchased in November 2011, isn't working at all. None of the keys respond except the power button. I'm able to restart the computer, and have done so multiple times. I've attempted SMC and PRAM resets, but they haven't worked.
I've never spilled anything on the laptop, haven't stepped on it, and haven't otherwise damaged it ever. I use the laptop very lightly. I only use it to take notes for class, browse the Internet, and watch movies. I don't download anything but PDFs, PowerPoints, images, and Word documents. I don't even have music on it. So I don't think I had any part in creating the problem.
I had this same problem with my laptop over the summer, and I took it into the Apple Store to get it repaired for $200. They told me that they didn't know the cause of the problem. I think they replaced the bottom half of my laptop entirely (receipt says there's a new "Housing, Top Case with Keyboard, US") and told me the problem was fixed. This was on June 30. The laptop keyboard stopped working again today, October 19. I called Apple Support and they told me that I would have to pay for the repair again because it's been 90 days since the last repair. I'm annoyed and upset that I have to pay $200 again to re-repair a problem that should've been properly fixed the first time. Plus, if the problem keeps happening despite multiple repairs, I can't afford to keep getting the laptop repaired over and over again due to the Apple employees' incompetence.
Does anyone have any advice on how to fix the laptop? I'm a grad student and don't have the funds to pay for another repair, and there's no way for me to get to an Apple Store without hiring a car service, so I'm trying to avoid going to the store if possible. Thank you.

Get the new keyboard at eBay and replace by yourself may be cheaper way, though you're required higher skill and well know about MacBook Air.

Macbook pro charger isn't working

my macbook pro charger been not working these few days.i've got no idea what to do with it.i've been using this mac for around 2 years so i don't know if it's under guarantee..how much does it cost me to repair the charger ? or should i just buy a new one ?

If you have bought AppleCare Extended Warranty, MBP is in warranty for 3years
from the date of purchase.
Best thing to do, is to take the MBP to the Apple store for evaluation and possible repair / replacement.

Macbook Pro Keyboard isn't working.

When I log on to the PC side of my macbook pro the keyboard doesn't work! The mouse works, it's just the keyboard. The light when I press CapsLock also doesn't light up.
But! When I switch to the mac side, my keyboard works there!
If I plug in a keyboard to the usp port, it works as well. (On the PC side)
I have no idea why all of a sudden it is doing this, it worked fine yesterday. This Macbook pro is brand new, I got it in June. It also has an iskin on the keyboard and nothing has been spilled on the keyboard.

Sad to hear this.
Liquid damage is progressive.
You can take the computer to the nearest Apple store and see what can they do for you.
Best.

27" intel imac audio isn't working

I recently had my 27" intel imac logic board replaced.
But when i got it home i noticed that there was a start up sound but all other sounds were disabbled. Atleast they look disabled.
When i press the sound key(f12) there is a small icon indicating that there is no audio available. I thought that it might be some drivers they forgot to install, so i did a system update. still no sound.
My second guess is that they forgot to attach some sort of audio cable.
any advice would be much appreciated.

thanks for the reply.
unfortunetly under the Built-in Output, none of the mute boxes are checked.
the source is set to "digital out" which doesn't seem right, and there are no other options for source which also seems wrong.

Mini DisplayPort to VGA isn't working. It won't recognize any external monitor. It worked just fine with my older spring 2011 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, but now with my brand new 2012 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, it no longer works

I just bought a new MacBook Pro this summer and was all excited. But I'm very frustrated right now because I can't connect to any external monitors through VGA. My thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to HDMI works just fine, but when I try with my other connector to go from Thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to VGA, Nothing works. my screen goes blue and changes size like it recognized something but nothing is ever detected on the external moniter or projector. I'm not sure what is wrong but it's very frustrating. I'm just very depressed that it worked just fine with my 2-year-old MacBook Pro but isn't working now. I'm running OS X 10.8.2. I just upgraded yesterday from 10.8.1 but that upgrade did nothing to fix my problem. Can anyone help? Thanks

I am haveing this exact same issue. I have plugging in 3 monitors and tried two different VGA to mini displayport and nothing is working. I recently bought a Acer monitor and it work for an hour and now it back to doing the same thing.
When I plug the VGA adapter in to the monitor the monitor think its not connected to a computer then when disconnecting the VGA adapter the monitor thinks it is connected to a computer.
NEED SOME HELP!!! at the point of all my hair is pulled out.
^^^
that is the same problem i am having! if anyone can help that would be great i'm losing my mind over here

Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

If you use an HDMI cable, the audiostream will be integrated, so there will be sound when using an HDMI cable!
Not necessarily. That only works as stated if you have one of the most recent MBP's that has a built-in HDMI port.
If the MBP only has a Thunderbolt or miniDisplayPort, you need an appropriate adapter cable and even if you use an HDMI adapter or cable to connect to your HDTV there is no guarantee it will carry audio. You have to determine if your specific MBP model supports audio out through its miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output, and whether the adapter does likewise.

I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth JBL speakers to my Macbook Pro but it isn't working. I can't seem to find Bluetooth Setup Assistant because I updated my laptop. What should I do?

Make sure you set the speakers as discoverable, which usually involves holding down a button for a few seconds. Go to System Preferences / Bluetooth and you should be able to add it.

Certain hardware on Black Macbook isn't working?

I'm having a problem with my Black Macbook it's running on Snow Leopard. That laptop is being bootccamp & it's running on Windows 7 too. Currently i'm facing a problem with the Keyboard, Sound, Bluetooth & trackpad. All of the mentioned above isn't working help???

Does it work for changing screen brightness (F1, F2)? If not then go System Preferences ⇾ Keyboard ⇾ Keyboard and ensure that 'Use F1, F2 etc as function keys' is turned off, i.e. unticked.
