New Update has destroyed my system's sound/audio. Help!

I just installed all of the new updates to Tiger and iTunes and it has absolutely destroyed my system's audio. Everything now sounds unlistenably scratchy, like a remote FM station that is not coming in very well. This applies to system sounds, itunes files -- everything sounds TERRIBLE.
What the heck has happened, and how do I fix it?

Software Update has broken my system

Software Update has broken my system so that I can no longer restart or shutdown normally. All attempts to restart or shutdown hang the system with a grey screen and a Software Update menu on the menu bar. The menus can be pulled down, but the menu items, like "restart", are not functional. I have to use the control/command/power keys to force a restart, and then command-R after the chime to get to a screen where I can shutdown.
I have just done a complete reinstall of the operating system (10.7.5), with no change in this behavior. I have also tried to do a manual installation of the latest security update, but after hitting the restart button, the same Software Update screen appears whether I have actually used Software Update or not. How do I go about nudging my system out of this behavior?

The startup disk may need repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk
If repairs are necessary, restart while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access ML recovery / Disk Utility. OS X: About OS X Recovery
If the startup disk does not need repairing, start up in Safe Mode
Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient. When you're in Safe Mode you should see Safe Mode in red top right side of the desktop.
From there click the Apple menu icon top left in the screen. Select Restart from the drop down menu.

With the new update has gone the option to blend the edges of the images. An indispensable tool

Ibán,
Apply the Picture Frame effect in Pages V4, then paste into Pages V5.
It's inconvenient, but then many things are in Pages V5.

Hello Tollykev,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you have some audio issues with your iPad after the iOS 7 update.
I want to recommend the following troubleshooting from the article named:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
Regards,
Sterling

I was eagerly waiting to get my hands on the latest apple offering ios7 for my ipad 2... however post upgrade the excitement seems to be fading away... the UI has totally changed- looks pretty new but i guess it has started to take more RAM space and has slowed the processing.. safari doesn't seem to be working effectively as well... i have also tried to free some space by deleting some apps.. i don't even keep multiple apps running and lastly also tried a reboot.. but still no luck... can anyone please assist ?? Is apple coming with an update to faster the systems....appreciate your assistance...

Try closing all inactive apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
3. The app will fly off the screen

New update has caused itunes not to run

i clicked on the new update for itunes, and successfully went through all the new install, but when i go to run itunes it comes up "itunes updating". It wont allow me to click on anything else and freezes the screen. I have tried uninstalling itunes several times and re-installing but this does no use, and i am left with the same message.

I just did some research and found the answer to my problem. It might be the same as yours.
Try this website: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
I found out that my problem was user-specific, and when I moved the itunes preference file to my desktop my problem was solved. itunes no longer froze when I opened it. Good luck!

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

Software update 10.0.2 says that Logitech Device detection 1.23.05 won't work with this new update and will be disabled so I need Help.

I have a Logitech Y-BH52 keyboard so I don't want to have it disabled with the new update.

I tried to change the link speed and duplex from "auto negotation" to "1 Gbps Full Duplex," but then my computer no longer even could connect.
If your computer can't negotiate a 1Gbps connection, then that is what is limiting you to 94Mbps, which is about right for a "100Mbps" port.
There could be several reasons for this.
A bad NIC
A bad port on the switch
IMO, the most likely cause is a bad cable. 1Gbps requires all 4 pairs in the cable be connected. If only 2 of the 4 pairs are connected correctly, you will get a 100Mbps connect, but will not be able to connect at 1Gbps. Try replacing the cable with one known to work at 1Gbps.

New Kitkat update has left me w/o sound. +

So far this is my only problem. The only sound that will work is the ringer and alarm. And yes I have checked all of my settings to make sure nothing is muted or turned off. This all happened right after the update yesterday morning. Please help
Samsung S4

I'm so sorry your phone is not working properly after your update sheena813. I know this is frustrating but help is here. Are you using any sound apps? Are you having issues with any of your apps? If so, I recommend removing them temporarily to help with the issue. You can also perform safe mode to check the apps on your device http://vz.to/1m8Mjg4 . If you continue to have issues, the last step is to perform a hard reset http://vz.to/PTQNYF . Please keep us posted and let me know if it works.

New update has been installing for over 20 minutes

I downloaded the new OS system update, but it has been on the installing software update for over 20 minutes with a moving blue/white activity bar.
It is obviously hanging as installation on another machine in the house installed in a matter of minutes.
Am I screwed? This is a business machine and I can't afford a loss.
Doing this question through my ipad

If you have it backed up then I would kill it. If you don't and the update is still progressing then leave it alone. Most likely it's taking a while because the system you are updating was dysfunctional.
If you stop it and are still able to boot the computer then do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
After this is completed download and install OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo).

Security Update has destroyed my wireless Internet access

Hi,
I am reposting this as a separate question as no one has answered my post from 2 days ago and I am getting desperate.
Ever since I downloaded the latest Apple security update two days ago for my OS Tiger, my wireless connection won't work, I am using a separate wireless stick (Sitecom) as Airport won't get me onto channel 13 here in Europe. I know I am connected to the Linksys router here, as the software of my wireless stick tells me this, but my Mail and Safari now tell me I am not connected to the Internet.
I have checked everything, the wireless stick is at the top of the list of my network connections and the box beside it is checked, and the numbers in the Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the wireless stick are still 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220. So now I am using a network cable as a temporary measure but I can't live like this as the router with the cable is 100 feet away from where I am staying.
It must be something to do with the latest Security Update as I literally was using the wireless perfectly to download the Security Update, then I switched off my computer and switched it on again, and now my wireless connection won't work. What should I do? I tried duplicating the wireless stick connection and then deleting the original but that didn't work. I am afraid to remove the files in my Library as suggested on another thread because I have lots of wireless connections as I travel a lot and I can never replace them all. Help!

Hi,
well, I got it to work by following BDAqua's advice and adapting it for my external wireless stick - i.e. I went to System Preferences - Network - Show Network Port Configurations, and I highlighted my Sitecom wireless stick i.e. Ethernet Adaptor, and I then clicked Delete but I didn't pull the stick out. The listing for the Ethernet Adaptor then went to the bottom of the list but was still visible in pale grey with no checkmark in the box beside it. Then I went to the Keychain access but there was no password listed there for the stick so I didn't do anything there. Then I rebooted. Then I went back to Sys Pref - Network - Show Network Port Configs and then I rechecked the box beside Ethernet Adaptor and dragged it back to the top of the list. Then my Location was at Automatic, I am not sure if I made it go there or if it had automatically gone there - prior to this it was at a separate location I had made for my wireless stick, with the DNS Servers that BDAqua had given me in a prior thread. So now I am functioning on the Automatic Location, so what is happening is that it is taking a long time to find the Internet after rebooting and then it is not using the DNS Servers from the previous wireless stick location, but that DNS Server box is now blank. I have rebooted a couple of times and this system seems to be working for me so I will stick with it and just not turn off my computer very often. Whether or not the location I had made specifically for my wireless stick will ever work again I don't know and don't want to spend hours more agony trying to find out. So I am satisfied with this solution.
Thank you very much indeed, BDAqua, if you are in Berlin in the next 2 months I will buy you an evening full of beers as a thank you!
