Speakers not working after system restore

After a fatal disk crash I've restored my system with a new internal hard drive. However, now the audio out isn't working. I've repaired permissions, and the only option shown in the sound system preferences is 'Built-in audio'.
Any ideas?

Try zapping the PRAM:

Itunes not working after system restore

hey i searched this and found nothing helpful.
i did a system restore before and now my itunes won't open. it shows a message that tells me it can't open. i've reinstalled and uninstalled and everything i can think of...
how can i fix this and make itunes work again?

If you have an HP, you need to goto Hp.com and download a patch for your model of PC, alot of there PCs have issues with iTUnes after using there software to do a restore. If you have another brand, check there site.
You can also try uninstalling iTunes AND quicktime, disabling antivirus and downloading/installing the latest iTunes from apple.com

Thank you for your help!

Did try to restore "as new device" without using the backup after that?
Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo coes back again?

Internal speakers not working after upgrading to Maverics

internal speakers not working after upgrading to Maverics

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, 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.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart 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.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck. Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch. If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside. If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.
Ciao.

IPhone 4 ear speaker not working after 2 restores and cleaning the headphone socket.

Hi,
I know this problem is not uncommon, but here goes...
I have an iPhone 4 which was running iOS 5.1.1 a few days ago when the ear speaker stopped working. I cant hear the other person when I make or recieve a call, but nothing else is wrong with the phone. It is 18 months old.
I've searched the discussions and seen some of the suggestions. I tried cleaning out the headphone socket, with no luck. I then tried a full restore and update to iOS 6. This appeared to have worked. I tried 2 calls and I could hear the other person. I then left the phone alone for a couple of hours and when I tried it again, it had stopped working again.
I have since done another full restore but the speaker is still not working at all. The fact that it worked after the first restore suggests it's something simple or software related but I have no idea what else to try other than getting it repaired in a shop. The problem is I am in Japan where my network (Softbank) and an independent repair shop have both quoted me the equivalent of $176 / £110 to fix it.
Does anyone know anything else I can try before I give in and end up shelling out this ridiculous cost for something that is probably a 20 minute fix?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have the exact same problem with my ear speaker after my IOS 6 upgrade. My speakers work, bluetooth works, the earphones work, but the ear speaker doesn’t work. I noticed this IMMEDIATELY after the upgrade was completed. I also have the following problems:
-Very slow call connect time. 30 - 45 seconds just to connect is typical. Signal strength is 5 bars (ATT)
-Problems attaching to known networks
-Very slow internet browsing with many timeouts on both the ATT 3G service and known Wi-Fi networks.
- My camera was missing after the IOS 6 upgrade. I restored that from Restrictions inside of the Settings App
- Music was so screwed up it was easier to just restore it
I went to the Apple store hoping to get some support. Between my wife, my son, and myself we have purchased 4 iPhones and an iPad over the last few years with plans to purchase another iPad in a month or so. So it’s not like I' not familiar with Apple Technology and their typical level of support.
The individual who waited on me was rude and condescending. He insisted that all of the problems were hardware related or ATT’s fault, or my fault. He further asserted that IOS 6 had NOTHING to do with any of the problems. I pointed out that it would be quite a coincidence for my hardware to break, for ATT to have network problems, and for me to suddenly forget how to use an iPhone at the same exact moment that IOS 6 had been installed. He maintained his position and offered to sell me another phone.
I don’t expect the folks in the store to reprogram the OS. Mistakes happen. I’m going to guess that Apple’s OS programmers are already working on a fix for many of the IOS 6 complaints that are easy to find on Google. Assigning blame to the customer and denying any responsibility is not a model for success or customer service. I’m sure Apple wouldn’t accept that kind of excuse from their component manufacturers and don’t think it is how they should deal with their customers. Further, Apple wants to own the device. They want to control the apps, the OS, battery, the delivery channel. I’m good with that so long as when there is a problem, they own that as well.
And BTW… I’m not including the maps in my list of issues with IOS 6 because I kind of like the new maps and am willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt. I believe that their map service will get a lot better in a hurry.

Firefox will not run after System restore or running in compatibility mode for windows 98. How do I fix this? I already tried all other solutions on this site.

I was running Firefox fine just yesterday. I screwed up the registry a litle while removing an installed program completely, so I restored the system and everything appeared to work fine. I then decided to play an old video game, Return to Krondor, which was made back in 1998, so I ran the program with no other programs running in compatibility for windows 98. After finishing the game, I closed it and put the computer in hibernation mode. I come back today and firefox will not run at all. It is not running in the background and there are no programs running. There are no services running which could interfere with it. I think somehow Firefox may think I'm in compatibility mode still, but I have no idea.
I'm running windows Vista 32 - bit with an AMD 2.4ghz processor, 4gb ram on an Emachine computer. I have already tried system restore, restart, processes etc. Nothing works. I can still run Internet explorer and all other programs.

The person that I was assisting, has Windows 7 which has 64 bit system. Her browser was IE 10.
Was IE11 ever offered (or installed) via Windows Update?
Is her computer currently fully-patched at Windows Update?
Is Adobe Shockwave Player v12.1 (or higher) installed on her computer?
Is Adobe Flash Player v15.0.0.189 (or higher) installed on her computer?

Logitech USB Speakers not working after upgrade to Yosemite

After upgrading my MacBook Air to Yosemite, my Logitech Z305 USB speaker no longer work. In fact, it isn't even recognized in the Output list in Sound in the System Preferences. It worked nearly all the time with Mavericks, with an occasional need for a system reboot if no sound was coming out, but it was always displayed under the Output tab regardless.
I just killed the coreaudiod process in the Activity Monitor, but this didn't do anything of note.
Any ideas of what has to happen for these speakers to work again?

BannerMaker not working after system update.

Hello all,
I am not trusting Apple now for system updates anymore, because the last couple of updates, after updating my system software, I have problems. I never have these issues with Windows.
Getting to my point, I use BannerMaker (an app created by some Fed agency that I had found googling because Apple doesn't support it as standard, and Windows already had this for years to comply with DOD requirements) to use for a login warning legal note, etc. This goes on to the login window only when you disable the icon/name login. I was in the process of updating it and it told me that the loginwindow.plist wasn't found. I found it on the Spotlight, but I had no way of changing it.
I should also note that after the system update, the login process reverted back to the icon/name login, which never happened. I always require me and another user to type their username because to protect the user's privacy.
How can I get BannerMaker to work again, or how can I get into that file so I can change it and I also want to know if other users had their loginwindow settings mysteriously affected by the update?
I am really disappointed by the lousy updates that paralyzes my security and other issues with previous updates, which I won't get into. I am disappointed with Apple right now.
Steven

I had a feeling that was going to happen. Well I just don't have the patience to do that. Apple needs to go onto the Windows system that you could delete specific updates rather than reinstalling the system software. And I also don't like how updates affect work around apps, how they close them down because they are not authorized software. I need a secure system, and Apple won't let me. **** to screw with them, I might just give my mother my MacBook and I go get a Windows notebook. I had nothing but problems since I got this MacBook.

RFC connections do not work after system restart

Hi PI experts!
We're facing a problem with our PI 7.0 system. After each restart of the system, all RFC sender communication channels do not work. When testing the connection in the sending SAP system, the connection test fails. Currently we workaround the issue by manually restarting the RFC adapter after system restart.
Does anybody has any idea how th fix that problem? <<text removed>>
Cheers,
Matthias
Edited by: Matt on Apr 29, 2009 3:26 PM - don't offer points

Mathias,
Your problem is due to the fact that SAP is not up and running when XI restarts.
there is a parameter in RFC adapter that you can modify in order to fix that
Please, see the following link and let me know: /people/community.user/blog/2006/09/21/xi-rfcadapter-reconnect-issue
best regards,

Start and Start apps don't work after System Restore

Hey guys, I tried to install Andy (Android emulator) on my PC today and I had to reboot after the setup was complete. This time when booting up, my computer froze before login screen. I've restarted the computer several times, but no login screen.
So I used System Restore to restore my system (refresh point is 2 days old) and voila, everything works like it should...
Except for Start menu, Cortana & search bar and notifications. Restarting explorer.exe didn't fix the problem. Even Start menu apps like Music or Store don't work... Only way to open the Settings app is to click on my network connection icon. Help please!
I'm using build 9926

..............So I used System Restore to restore my system (refresh point is 2 days old)...............
It is possible that you are missing the updates that were installed in that 2 days. You rolled back 2 days, now you need to reinstall those updates.
If you cannot use Start Menu, please follow this instruction given by Insider Hub......
Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes or Confirm
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart
Good luck.

IE Not Working since system restore!

So today I found a problem on my laptop so I did a system restore (factory setting) on HP G62.
Everything went fine, I was able to reset everything including reloading wireless information with password. The laptop then did an automatic update (which I knew was coming) it said it must be restarted. However, since the restart the IE is
no longer working. I get error: unable to display webpage for websites that are simple like Google when I take a second try I get: the address is not valid.
Here is another interesting factor, the wireless icon in the lower right hand corner sometimes shows a yellow flag indicating local access only no internet connection.
I verified that the password to the wireless is typed in correctly.
The internet works fine on other devices.
The HP laptop is not indicating any other updates.
Without IE working at all, I cannot even try another browser so I can download one to try!
Can someone please help??

Hi,
As Ricardo suggested, we should confirm whether we can connect to Internet or not first. Though the wireless icon shows a yellow flag, it doesn't really mean you lost network connection.
From the result of ipconfig /all, you can confirm if you obtain ip address and DNS. If you cannot, please attempt to diagnose your wireless network adapter and then manually assign ip address and dns server.
If you have no trouble obtaining ip, it can be related to DNS server. Thus, please attempt to ping www.google.com and ping 173.194.127.210 directly and check if it can ping correctly without resolution.
You can try purging DNS cache through running the command:
ipconfig /flushdns
Thanks!

Itunes wont work after system restore

Itunes will no longer startup or uninstall/reinstall after i recently did a system restore on my laptop i can get it running by opening a song, and it works fine then, but its an old version cos i cant update! looked everywhere for a solution and cant find one anywhere!
Thanks

(c) the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes.msi' in the box below
Use source
C:\DOCUME1\Alex\locals1\Temp\IXP267.TMP\
Okay, given that the QuickTime seems to be working fine, that iTunes message is probably the key to this.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. Run the utility, find the iTunes entry in the list of programs that show up in CleanUp, and remove the iTunes entry.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Reboot the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? If so, does iTunes launch properly again?

Time Capsule not working after a restore

I recently had to restore from my TM/TC backup after a standard software update made it so I could no longer log into my account. Now, my TC is not working properly. I can still access all of my past updates on mu TC, but it is not working for making new backups. Instead of backing up the new files, TM wants to do a whole new backup from scratch (all 140 gigs). Worse still, it is unbelievably slow (as in it took over 3 hours just to do 1 gig last night on my wireless.)
If I can still access all my old files on the TC and I restored my Mac using the TC files, why is it that TM wants to start an entire new backup now instead of continuing to update the original one? And, why is the updating crawling along at such a terribly slow speed. Any thoughts/proposed solutions to this very much appreciated.

I found this article which describes a fix:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101
I'm testing it on my Time Capsule now, I'll let you know how it goes.

Headphones not working after backup restore on new iPhone 6

My new iPhone seemed to work perfectly until i decided to to restore from the last back up copy of my iPhone 4S. After the restore all the apps, data, and contacts were working fine, however the iphone headphone jack was not transmitting sound. I tried several different headphones, and AUX cables without result.
I decided to erase all data, and set up the phone as a "new iphone". When this was done the headphone jack worked properly, however the data, apps, and contacts not available.
It seems to me the problem is with my back up file, however I have no idea what to do. How do I keep my contacts, pictures, apps, notes, etc., and have the headphones work with my new iphone?
Thanks for any help you may provide.

If this is your iCloud email account, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Mail off, then turn it on again.
If it's a different email account, delete the account and recreate it again.
