My sound suddenly stopped working, how do i fix this?

my sound suddenly stopped working after i unplugged my headphones, how do i fix this?

Common problem.
Check the headphone port - if you can see a red light, the port is still live, cutting off the internal speakers.
The cause is a little leaf switch that is pushed over by the jack when you insert it. Sometimes these stick.
Try inserting and removing a jack a few (dozen) times.
If that doesn't free it you may attempt to tease it with a slim non-conducting tool (like a toothpick). Ensure the Mac is not only shut down, but unplugged if you try this.
And be careful; the leaf is fragile and it's an expensive bit to get to and replace, in fact on some models it's directly on the logic board.

  • I have an issue with Acrobat, after a few uses, the program will not load, the only way to fix it is to completely uninstall the CS suite wipe the drive and reinstall the software, then after a few uses it stops working, how do i fix this?

    after a few uses, the program will not load, the only way to fix it is to completely uninstall the CS suite wipe the drive and reinstall the software, then after a few uses it stops working, how do i fix this?

    Not sure of an answer to your basic question, but it may be that you can run a repair (on Windows --> Control Panel>Programs & Features and run the repair on Acrobat). If that fixes the issue, at least temporarily, at least you will not be reinstalling everything -- a real pain.
    Next, open Acrobat and go to the Help to run the updates and be sure you are current. On some OSs, the updates are critical.

  • Photoshop elements 7.0 (organizer) has stopped working, how do I fix this?

    photoshop elements 7.0 (organizer) has stopped working, How do I fix this?

    Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
    Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Organize. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
    Select your catalog and click Repair.  Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
    Then for good measure, click Optimize.
    If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog.  If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
    In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails.  Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.

    Restart Mac and try again.  If you are still having trouble, see Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

    Hello! You've posted your question in the iPhoto for iOS forum. This forum is for questions about using Apple's iPhoto.app on an iPhone or iPad. Do you have an iPhone or iPad that you're synchronizing pictures with your PC? If so, you should probably post your question in the Using iPhone or Using iPad forum. We can also ask the Hosts to move this topic into the correct forum if we know which hardware device you're using.

  • My built-in  key board has stopped working how can i fix this?

    my built-in key board has stopped working all of a sudden how can i fix this?

    Did you spill any liquids on your keyboard?  If you are in the habit of eating and drinking while using your computer, the keyboard is probably dirty.  Use a can of compressed air or a vacuum hose to remove the debris underneath the key.  If that does not work, you may actually have a hardware issue.
    If you Apple Care, call them and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  Liquid damage is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
    NOTE:  If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with.   They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
          If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

  • HT4061 My lock button and home screen button has just stopped working, how do i fix this?

    My lock and home screen button has just suddenly stopped working, i have looked on YouTube, unscrewed the back and tried the methods that work for other people but it hasn't worked.
    Im not on contract, if it needs to go in for repair im sure it will be very expensive!
    What shall i do?

    It's a hardware issue. If it's out of warranty, you can get it replaced but there's an out of warranty fee associated.

  • Webkit2 webprocess exe keeps saying it has stopped working. how do i fix this

    My computer keeps popping up with this message, Webkit2 process Exe has stopped working! How do i fix this problem????

        Denb15,
    I wish the issue was going to be as easy to identify as a system rollout! I know you must be extremely worried about having a brand new phone acting this way. Do you get this error message every time you're on a phone call? What kinds of actions prompt the error to pop up and how often is it happening? Share details so we can help find a fix!
    Also, Verizon Wireless does have a 14 day worry free guarantee time frame I want to make you aware of. You would be able to exchange your current Note 4 for another of the same make/model at no charge within that time frame. After the 14 days has been exceeded we can still replace the phone if we need to, but it would be with a Certified Like New Replacement. http://vz.to/1hJXRR0 .

  • My elements 7 organizer "stopped working" how do I fix this?

    My Photoshop elements 7 Organizer "stopped working".  How do I fix this?

    I see that you responded to a previous post about this error that you're trying to follow the suggested fixes and do not know what your <username> is.
    It is the name in the screen you use when you log on to Windows.  You can also find it by opening Windows Explorer, expanding the "Local Disk (C:)" folder, expanding the "Users" folder and seeing the name of the folder listed below the "Administrator" folder.

  • HT1688 my iphone 5 speaker suddenly stopped working. how do I fix it?

    I was playing a game, pressed the home button, then pressed the lock screen button, then I realized it didn't make the "click" noise. after a couple more tries. I've come to conclusion that my speaker stopped working. Do i need to take it a apple store to fix it or can I do it my self. the earphone port works just fine.

    Might sound stupid but this worked for me. Suck in with your mouth on the speaker and test the sound

  • I upgraded to Firefox 4 and my toolbar didn't load, now Firefox won't start automatically saying a script has stopped working. how can I fix this?

    Before Firefox will load I have to stop a script message that appears saying that the script for this page is either busy or stopped working. Once I hit stop Firefox will load as normal but without doing this step it will not load at all. Once it is loaded the toolbar has not been loaded and I am told to reinstall the toolbar but I have not been able to do so.
