OS 10.9.5 update - No sound on my IMac now!

Ran the update last night. Woke up this morning and booted. The sound icon in top right is now grayed out. volume control is at the top of slider and can't be moved. Volume controls on keyboard bring up the square volume control indicator on the screen but dosn't move. System Preffs/sound also has a grayed out volume slider and mute button. HELP ME PLEASE i think my head is going to pop. I tried a re-boot and tried the headphones, but no change. Contact Apple support page also seems to be down. US and UK.

I had something like this a few days back, with sound only working with headphones. I just kept slowly putting headphones in and out of socket, as it seemed to be thinking they were always plugged in. Eventually it corrected itself!

Updated to iTunes 11.0.3, now no sound on my computer, all apps

Hi--
I updated to iTunes 11.0.3, and now there is no sound on my computer. I unplugged the external speakers--no sound from the iMac built-in speakers. No sound for iTunes, GarageBand, QuickTime, or Firefox.
Is anyone else having this problem? And is there an easy way to restore the previous version from Time Machine? When I tried, I got an error message saying iTunes was needed by Mac OS X.
iMac running 10.7.5.

Oh, fer crying out loud... I got sound back when I restarted the computer--rookie mistake. But why should I have to restart to get sound? I'm going back to my usual practice of waiting a month or two to install updates to iTunes.

10.6.2 Update - No Sound

I installed the 10.6.2 Update this evening and now I have no sound on my iMac. I have restated my computer but nothing I seem to do restores the sound. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

I have the same problem on my iMac (20-inch, Early 2009). I am using 10.5.8 and so the update was 2009-006 for me.
I installed it normally and lost all sound, so I installed it again by downloading the dmg. Still no sounds. SW Update tells me I'm up to date. I have restarted the machine, and following advice from other Discussions I have checked the iChat prefs. Nothing.
I get a little 'no entry' sign under the on-screen volume display. When I go to the sound prefs it says I have no line out, just a digital out. That's odd because my line-out has been connected to a hi-fi amp since I've had the computer.
Any ideas? I'm tempted to Time Machine back a couple of days and then hold back on the update. I'm about to go away for a month, so Skype breaking on our family computer is really unpopular...

Since the newest hp update, my sound has gone completely silent. any ideas?

I have an HP Pavilion g6 and I just updated with an unknown update (it doesn't show in my "View History") so I'm not entirely sure which one it was, but since then I've lost my sound completely. I'm about to update my sound driver, but in the mean time, does anyone have any ideas?

Hi, Megan:
Try a hard reset of the notebook first. Info on how to do that is at the link below.

Update to 10.4.7 and now IChat 3.1.5 has no sound

How can I get my sound back in ichat? I use ichat for my masters class. Worked fine until I updated to 10.4.7. Now my video is blurrier and there is no sound coming in or out. I have sounds when I am being invited, sound not muted, up all the way, but noone can hear me and I can't hear them.... HELP

New news... After I fixed sound without the conference recorder, I re-installed it an messed with it some more. I kept reading about quicktime settings in past versions. So.... I opened quicktime, after recent quicktime update, and clicked on window on top of screen....went down to show a/v controls and opened it....
I noticed the volume was all the way down, but it was greyed out so I couldn't adjust it. After I while, I played a quicktime recording that I had recorded earlier with the conference recorder...it played perfect...so as it was playing, I went back to show a/v controls under the window menu. The volume control was up all the way. Leaving a/v control open, I closed the video... the volume stayed in up position. I turned off my computer, turned on my computer, (not just reboot) and now, when I turn on isight my volume works...
Now crossing fingers it continues too.

10.6.7 Update No sound 5 mins to boot!

Updated from 10.6.6 to 10.6.7 last week and lost sound.
There's now no input or output options in the sound control panel and the Mute checkbox is greyed out but 'Mute' in checked.
It's as if the OS sees no sound drivers or no sound hardware now
Can anyone shed any light on this?
In addition my machine now takes a good 5 mins to boot, seems to run fine once it's underway - apart from no sound.
This initial boot up screen looks OK, but then it sits on a blue screen for 5 mins - then boots

Firstly to try to cure the slow startup go to System Preferences>Startup Disk. Click on 'Macintosh OS X, 10.6.7 on Macintosh HD' and restart. Hopefully it'll start up at normal speed.
To try and fix the sound issue you could try downloading the combo updater (if you haven't already): Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo
and reapply the update.
Often re-applying the update using the combo fixes unexplained problems.
If this helps you may need to repeat step one again as it seems that sometimes the Mac seems to struggle to find a startup disk, often after new installs/updates.
Before and after doing the update I'd also suggest repairing disk permissions: Utilities>Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD, click 'repair permissions'.

My iphone 4 updated to ios6.0.1 and now i have no sound in any of my apps? how do i fix this?

Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to restart itself, ignore the "slide to power off" let the iPhone restart itself. See if better. If still problem, Restore iPhone with iTunes 10.7 or 11 on computer. See if better, if not and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean iPhone Charging Port with clean dry toothbrush. See if better, if not, clean again with small amount of Isopropyll Alcohol.

I just updated my Mac Mini to latest software, tried updating GarageBand. It downloaded but now it gets stuck downloading the 'essential sounds and loops'. It always worked fine before I updated and would really appreciate some help. Thanks

You mean, MacOS X 10.9.2 and GarageBand 10.0.2?
How far does the download proceed? Do you get an error message?

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

Just updated itunes to 12.1 and now it won't sync or show my iphone 5s

I just updated itunes to 12.1 and now it won't sync or show my iphone 5s.. I have tried EVERYTHING. I completely uninstalled & reinstalled my itunes 2 times. Everything is completely up to date, and when I plug my iPhone into the computer, it makes the normal beep sound, and charges, but will not sync or show on iTunes so that I can sync anything..

Hey ksooter,
I know you have said you have tried everything but have you tried out some of the troubleshooting in the article below? For instance, have you checked the Apple Mobile Device support is installed properly and if the Apple Mobile Device is installed? Take a look at the article below to double check some of the things you have done to see if you can get your iPhone to show back up.

This may sound crazy, but download any free app. This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

Is there a fix for this? It worked with CS6 and CC just fine.

Did you turn off the "show transform controls" option in the move tool?
It sounds like you were using that previously.
And you can always transform by using the Free Transform command (command/control T).

Updated to 10.8.4 and now my word does not work! Help me please

I just updated to the latest software and now I went to do my schoolwork. All of my word documents and current word program are not supported. What do I need to do to get Word back so I can resume normal word processing????? Please help if you can. Thank you in advance.

Sounds like your version of Office is old and it was coded for the PowerPC.
If so that means you will have to upgrade Office to 2011 version.

Installed itunes update 10.5.0.142 and now get the error message "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn playlist to disc. Windows 7

Hello queenabs,
It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found." I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I updated to Photoshop cc 2014 and now can't resize the images like I used to.
I used to click on the image and then go to the corner hold down shift and resize it. Now it won't do it.
How do I do it now?
I have a project deadline and need to do this asap. Panicking that I won't meet my deadline.
