Sound Speakers are not working! Not allowed to control the volume! Why?

Hello,
Digital Output is not working on my iMac PowerPC G5 with Tiger. Suddenly, sound disappear and I was not allowed to turn on the volume through the keyboard buttons; a "not allowed" icon confirms that.
First I thought It was because Perian, Quicktime plugins, libraries, etc as I have read searching on these forums but I have just installed Mac OS X from the default install disc after formatting but the problem is not solved!
Speakers do not work but headphones and airtunes do.
Did the iMac Sound Speakers die?
Help me, please!

Imac G5 OS10.5.3
I have the same problem but with a twist:
In system preferences:
Under sound:
Output selected:
Under name: Digital out
Under type: Built in audio
Below that : settings for selected device
It says:The selected device has no output controls
It won't let me adjust the audio up or down, no sound.
I can hear the chime when the computer comes on, though.

My ipod 5th gen won't change volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can change the volume on the speaker. How do I fix this?

Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

My buttons on my nano arent working but i can control the volume and center

my buttons on my nano arent working but i can control the volume and center buttons and idk y its acting up

Try Restoring it in iTunes. If that does not work you will probably need to get it serviced.

I am trying to ask a question about iPhones, but it will not let me post - I get a message similar to this - you are not allowed to change the content. Any help on this matter?

I am trying to ask the following question: Just updated my iPhone5 to V 7.1.2 and can no longer print to my MFC 7860W from this phone. I researched this issue on this forum and found answers from last October/November..... Wary of downloading anything that was posted that long ago. Wondering if there is anyway around this issue, with more recent information? I was able to use this printer in the past by using Brother's iPrint App.
Thanks!!
But when I hit post, I get an error message at the top - "you are not allowed to change this content" Can anyone help me?

I am assuming you got that message when attempting to post an old thread. The old post is probably locked/archived.
FYI, posting on old threads usually yields no responses at all.
I have requested that this post be moved to the iPhone forum where you might get assistance.

How do you make imessage work? The icon is there. You can type in the recipient but are not allowed to hit the send button

How do you make imessage work? We upgraded to verision5. The icon is there. You can type the message but the send button is not available.

There is some instability in iMessage. It is a versatile and confusing app even though there are so few options in its use.
I had issues trying to get iMessage work on both my iPads and my iPhone.
ON the iPhone, turning off WiFi service and then trying iMessage fixed the problem.
On the iPad 2, same thing. Turning off WiFi service fixed it.
On the iPad 1, I took a suggestion from zoomzoom and changed the WiFi network configuration on the iPad to use 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server and then use iMessage. That fixed it. Now I put the DNS back to default and it still works.
I suspect the iPod Touch will have the same fix as the iPad.
If you have a WiFi and 3G iPad or iPhone, try turing off WiFi and see if that fixes it.
Why? (beware, some of this is guesswork)
iMessage can talk SMS to cellphones and smartphones (that are using the cell-network). It can also talk Apple iMessage format to iPhones and iPads whether they are on cell-network or on WiFi. If you are talking to an SMS cellphone, iMessage figures that out and blindly sends your message. If you are talking to a iOS5 device, iMessage figures that out too, checks to see that they are on-line, and then does something different if they are or are not on-line. If you type in an email address, and not a phone number, I think iMessage attempts to see if the email address is registered with Apple (or iCloud or whatever) and if it is not, it does something to let you know, possibly by making the Send button not light up.
In order to register iMessage and an email, you have to let the iOS device see whatever service it is that iMessage uses. That is where the problem happenes. zoomzoom suggested manually setting the WiFi DNS to google's 8.8.8.8 IP address, then run IMessage, and that seemed to fix the problem. Setting the iOS device to use 3G-only (by turning off WiFi) also fixed the problem. I suspect going down to StarBucks or McDonalds and using their WiFi would also fix the problem. Once the problem is fixed, it doesn't seem to come back so I can't test these 'fixes'.
To change the DNS on your iPad find your WiFi networks configuration, click on the blue arrow, touch DNS, backspace over the number that is shown, type in 8.8.8.8 Then click on the WiFiNetworks button at the top of the screen. Now go run iMessage. After that, you can delete the DNS entry again and leave it blank. Your iPad will fill it in from the WiFi router when it needs it.

Is anyone having problems with trail sites are not allowing updates under the new rendering engine.

My Trial sites are NOT saving edits made in multiple areas.
Examples
Products - Anything I try to do in the product description window says it has updated but then reverts back to what it was originally.
Web pages - Same for anything in the page updates in the page content window.
Product Attributes wont update.
It appears I can add new things, but no edits work.
All say they are saved then revert back on screen to previous version.
It is only happening on my trial sites, which has been upgraded to the new liquid engine as far as I can tell as my live sites are fine. (or not converted yet)
I can do some updates via dreamweaver and FTP.
Thanks
Melissa

Thanks
I have contacted support and it appears to be only an issue with IE as works in Firefox.
They are saying it is an issue with my PC / Browser as they cannot recreate it -
I have reset all IE back to standard settings.
My question is if it were only an issue with my browser, why does it work on the live sites and the sites not yet transitioned.

HT201359 upgrade cost are not made visible beside the button - why?

There is a description of the upgrade but the the cost is shown only with the version number. No indication of the cost prior to selecting the button.

I went to the Apple store tonight and they swapped my 3G phone for a 4G phone for $149. That's out of warranty on a prepaid plan. This seems to be dependant on what went wrong with your phone- if it's a known problem, like battery or buttons wearing out, they'll replace it at this price, but not for accidental damage such as a broken screen. They didn't care one bit what plan I had.
In case anyone is curious, the no-contract prices for iPhones are currently as follows:
iPhone 5: iPhone 4S: iPhone 4:
16GB: $699 16GB: $599 8GB: $450
32GB: $799
64GB: $899
After I got my new iPhone I went to AT&T for a SIM swap. They confirmed that the go-phone plans are not supported, but according to the guy that just meant that they weren't guaranteed to work- not that they weren't permitted. He also said that basic customer support- like having a SIM card swapped- is guaranteed regardless of your plan/phone combination.

[Help] Signs are not allowed here

Hello Expers,
I am using ALV to change a value and the system telling me 'Signs are not allowed here'. The data type is DEC, length 13 with 2 Decimal places. I entered -1 to the field and the error message poped out. Can you help to solve my problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Alex,
You will normally receive this error if your data type is Currency.
Try changing the type and see if it works.
If it doesnt, tell us which type (or table type) you are using.

[Solved]gnome-system-tools You are not allowed access to sys config

I did a FTP install of i686 Arch Linux on a friend's machine. I could not get gnome-system-tools to work, keep getting:
The configuration could not be loaded
You are not allowed access to the system configuration
So, I tried gnome-system-tools on an i686 Arch install on my machine, and gnome-system-tools worked. Then I did a pacman -Syu and fully updated the system. The updates included udev which now prints how long udev events took on boot up. After the updates, gnome-system-tools no longer works. Same symptoms as the new install.
Both machines have stbd in the /etc/rc.conf DAEMONS line. Both the user and root in both machines are part of the stb-admin group. Using gksu or launching as root in a terminal window results in the same problem. The problem seems to be in system-tools-backends which works in conjuntion with dbus as I get this error:
(time-admin:7607): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating with the backends:
Process /usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl exited with status 127
gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends are part of the community group, so as far as I know, writing a bug report is out. Both gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends are out of date in community. system-tools-backends is version 2.4.1 and the current version is 2.6.0. I tried using makepkg to compile the new 2.6.0 version of system-tools-backends but it fails saying it needs dbus >= 1.1.2 but version of dbus is 1.0.2. So it appears that dbus is out of date also. That is a far as I got.
I know this has been a problem in the past, but I got it working until this latest update.
Anyone got any ideas on this?

When I entered the Original Post, I had rebuilt gnome-system-tools as this had fixed the problem the last time. When I went to rebuild system-tools-backends, I had decided I needed to try and build the latest version of it, which didn't work as stated above. By this time the lateness of the hour, and the current frustration level caused me to quit for the night and write this thread. I am fairly sure I did NOT rebuild the current system-tools-backends.
Anyway, deleting gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends, then rebuilding the current version of both gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends fixed the problem. Be sure to follow the post installation comments from system-tools-backends.
I wrote a bug report in the AUR.

I've had the same problem with my users-admin and users-time... I've tried all the fixes from most of these posts... except for that string of code that someone wrote in this post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=42910
for file in `pacman -Ql gnome-system-tools | grep desktop | cut -d" " -f2`; do cat $file | sudo sed 's/$^Exec=$$.*-admin$/\1gksudo \2/g' | sudo tee temp.desktop.tmp; sudo mv temp.desktop.tmp $file; done
I wasn't sure what this string actually would do, so I haven't tried it yet. I figured there would be an easier way of fixing this problem. Like a simple edit in the SystemToolsBackends.pl file.....
any help would be cool.

my speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
3. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
4. Reset the NVRAM.
5. Reset the SMC.
6. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

My laptop speakers are not working properly so wanted to visit service centers of hp in london

from yesterday night my laptop HP pavilion g6 speakers are not working properly. out of many only one speaker is working so i want to visit authorized service centers so that i can fix the issue.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56001-56500/sp56460.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if this has had any effect on the audio issue.

DP-K

Internal speakers are not working, they're not showing up at all. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My computer's speakers are not putting out sound. They worked fine yesterday, and I just now started up my computer and began using it today. The internal speakers don't show up on my list of output devices in settings, and I can't adjust the volume. Any help is really appreciated!!!

They are all in the same folder and it says all images are there, but it is only showing 1 card's images at a time. Does anyone know how to fix this?
This is kind of confusing, on the one hand you say "it says all images are there" and then you directly contradict this by saying "it is only showing 1 card's images at a time".
Could you explain in a lot more detail what you see (and don't say "it", say exactly what part of Lightroom or what part of your operating system you are looking at), or show us a screen capture?

Pavilion a6303w speakers are not working

After having to completely remove all files from my computer, due to mechanic systems program. I reinstalled my computer to it's factory settings. I am unable to download my backup disks as well as my speakers are not working. I have checked the Audio and everything is up? Can anyone help me with how to get my audio back?

When you say "I checked the Audio and everything is up", does that mean that you checked all of the settings in the Control Panel/Sound module? You should assure that you sound device is set as the default. Also, check all of the settings one by one to assure that they are checked properly. Then, update the driver.

Macbook Pro 17" - My built in speakers are not working.

Macbook Pro 17"
My built in speakers are not working.
The speaker logo is not highlighted (grey not Black) and when in sound options "output" pane only displays the digital out for 'optical' - ie, the internal speakers dont register (headphone socket works)
Any ideas?

1. If red light is visible in the headphone port, plug the headphone into and out of the port 5 or 6 times
     to flip the microswitch inside the port. Hopefully that will make the mode revert back to analog from digital.
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
3. Reset SMC.   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
     Choose the appropriate method.
Hope any one of these steps helps.
