The front audio jack on my mac pro just STOPPED working

I use my front jack ALL the time.
It stopped working from one second to the next.
confirmed that it is NOT the headphones.
checked preferences, seems ok.
any thoughts?

when i wiggle the front jack i get the sound back.
With that stement I would say it is a faulty jack except for the fact that you say it happens in the back jack too. I suppose a fault in one could affect the other. Other than replacing the faulty jack I see no solution.

my mac pro suddenly stops working (2011), connection to the monitor stops, but de tiny light on computer still on and all sound stops. what's the problem?

When the display turns off, it is not clear whether the computer has halted, or whether the display subsystem has failed.
Those tests determine whether:
a) Your Mac software had stopped working OR
b) Only the display had stopped working
If the pressing the Caps lock light on the keyboard lights the Caps Lock light on the keyboard, some software is still running -- your Mac has not halted.
If pressing Control-Eject on the keyboard, followed by the Return key shuts down your Mac, the software was still running.
¿Software was still running?
--Yes, the problem is ONLY in the display subsystem
--No, this is a computer-wide problem such as a kernel panic

The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro. If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
Thank you for your help.

Hi there,
Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
Best Regards,
Jeffri

Press the Power button for about 10 seconds to shutdown the computer. Wait a couple of minutes then restart. If it restarts OK, then immediately repair the hard drive:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, 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.

Mac Pro computer stop working

Hi,
I have a new mac pro computer, version 10.6.8, Macintosh HD, Memory 4 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3, 2Ghz Intel Core i7.
One of my user account in particular stopped working. The apps does not respond when I click on them. The finder is not responding but throws out a message "The application Finder can't be open, -10810." that I cannot close afterwards. I cannot close the computer normally... when I do open a finder window by some command the right side menu is not the same .. it list the servers and then 'all', instead of the usual folders.
My other service account seem to be working normal but once the Finder error above appeared.
Please, what is wrong and what can I do to fix this?
- Very concerned!

Yes. In the admin account, run this command:
sudo -u fubar -H /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain user
Important: change the word "fubar" to the short name of the problem user. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
WARNING: The forum software is adding extra spaces to the command. Copy the command to a text editor first and make sure no spaces have been added in the middle of a word.

My Mac Pro has stopped working after downloading Yosemite OS

I downloaded Yosemite and everything was working ok. I left it for a few hours and when I came back it would not work - just a blank screen. I have tried restarting but after the initial 'cord' sound there is just a blank screen. Any ideas?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Sound on new macbook pro just stopped working

No idea what happened, but the sound isnt working on my mac. I've checked to see if I muted it anywhere, but so far I haven't found anything like that. Any ideas?

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

Does anyone have any idea why various functions in CC 2014 on Mac would just stop working?

I'm working away and all of a sudden Place won't work. Or update links, or duplicate etc. and from that point on, whilst I can still manually move things about I can't do much else and have to restart Illustrator.
It's a clean install on a MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite.

I'm using RDC 2.1.1 on a Macbook Air 11.6 and multiple monitors (Dell 19" + internal).
I use RDC when on location at a client's site. I recently changed from a 13" Aluminum Macbook with Snow Leopard (latest) to the MBA running Lion.
I think I re-installed the RDC app from a web download.
It works pretty well most of the time. About 2 or 3 times a day I have to shut it down and re-start it.
Symptom? It seems to freeze. Usually when it "freezes" I can Command+Tab to another screen and wait for a few seconds and then it begins to work again.
I also installed CoRD Version 0.5.5 (5500) which works without error. If you cannot get RDC running, try CoRD. The Function Key mapping is not quite as cool as RDC but it is a strong app.

HP m7160n front audio jack problem

I am running Vista Home on my m7160n Media Center PC. I used to be able to plug in my headphones to the front audio jack and it would cut out the rear speaker output. Now it doesn't! I have gone into sound properties and is IS set to turn off rear jack, when the system detects a plug in the front jack. The headphones still work, but i need the speakers off when using the headphones. I hope thats enough information.
This question was solved.

Hi MrBassMan26,
That is odd and sounds like the jack-detect isn't working right. Did this issue just start happening? Did it occur after installing anything, even a Windows Update?
If it just started happening, you could try running a Windows System Restore to an earlier point when it worked properly. Or you could trying re-installing the sound driver or even installing an updated sound driver. That should take care of it, and if it doesn't you may need to make some configuration changes in one of the Sound properties (Windows or Realtek).
I see that you have Vista, did you by chance upgrade to Vista from XP?
Try installing the Vista sound driver from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&Down...
Let us know how it goes.

Front Audio Jack is of pool quality cosmetically

Hello, I have a problem with my Front Audio Jack. When I recevied my TS-P700, I noticed that my audio jack was on abnormal position. I adjusted its position, but it's still hard when I insert my earphone cord, I feel jammed. And tis disturbed by bezel. I wanna change a part, but I'm in South Korea now, service center refused my request cause my TS P700 is from USA. So, this is my question. 1. Can I exchange a front panel part with Lenovo USA via Air mail service? If it is possible, How? 2. I'd like to know its fru number of front panel. I found some fru number, but it is not exactly(04X2728, 03T8788) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For reference before adjust its position I have adjusted, tis still disturbing. 3 pictures above are normal state. Yes, it looks pretty good.I found it from review site. Thank you!

I'm a little confused if your issue is that you think the jack itself is damaged, or whether it's simply an alignement issue of the front panel assembly and the front bezel. If it's an alignment issue, I'm not sure replacing the front panel assembly is really going to help you much.
The front panel assembly (which includes the front audio jack) is certainly replacable. My records show that FRU for that front panel assembly is 03T8788, but it would be good to confirm that with service.
I'm not sure I can help with your first question. Sounds like you would need to consider purchasing the FRU directly if service is refusing your request, but I'm not familiar with all the details.
Replacing the front panel is not terribly difficult in P700 (this is a nightmare of a task on P900), but you'll want to pay special attention to how the cables are routed as you're disassembling the system (the motherboard must come out) to ensure that you get everything back together correctly.

Acrobat X Pro suddently stops working

Periodically Acrobat X Pro just stops working; it won't open, either by trying to launch the program directly or opening a PDF. If I remove/reinstall it, it works fine for about a month, then stops again. I can't connect its failure to anything else (e.g., system updates) and it's frustrating. I'm running it on Windows7. I have CS6 and don't have this issue with any of the other programs. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Hi Dana ,
Is there any error message associated with the launch or it simply doesn't launch?
Does this happen with any specific PDF you try to launch ?
Or what you can do is go to Task Manager. Ctrl + Alt + Del and select Start Task Manager. Go to Processes. Sort by Names. Do you see Acrobat.exe on the list? If yes, please select it and click End Process. Then try to run Acrobat Pro.

The audio out (headphone jack) stereo just stopped working.

The audio out (headphone jack) stereo just stopped working. On all my head phones (which work fine on other devices), macbbok pro sound is only coming through the left speaker. Anything I can do about this, aside just bringing it in to the shop? btw: audio output is set to middle.

Before taking to the shop, try Reset PRAM.
Some sound settings are stored in PRAM.
Even though the article title says 10.7 it is applicable to 10.4.
