The - NO SOUND - problem...we need a fix from Apple!

I have an older mac mini, like many I upgraded to Snow Leopard and now my speakers do not work.
I can only get them to work if I unplug my speakers from the back before I boot the machine.
Then replug them in...after boot up. Then they will work.
I've read many or the discussions and tried a number of the fixes, only the one above works for me.
Does Apple monitor this chat, if so wheres the fix!

Welcome to Discussions, no Apple doesn't monitor for feed back as Johnathan has pointed out, use his link. And have you posted in the mini Mac forum? That is where you would get the best solutions regarding your mini Mac.

  • WiFi Sync to iTunes is intermittent at best on iPhone 6! Needs a fix from Apple ASAP!

    My WiFi Connection to iTunes is intermittent tried many things i.e reset router, iPhone and Mac at the same time, change DNS to 8.8.8.8, resting network settings, rebooting the iPhone6 and iTunes - yet this issue still exists on an intermittent basis. So the easiest temporary fix so far is having to restart  iTunes and reboot the iPhone 6 for it to sync again. But I have to go through that process again and again.   One note however it does require a connection to a power source first as it says in the WiFI Sync setting of iTunes. Initially after the reboots it does exactly that, but later plugging it into a power source does not do a thing to restore the WiFi sync. So I tried to do network settings reset, that has not fixed the issue, but Im currious as to how much damage can I incur by resting them to factory default settings? Is there a permanenet solution at hand or there one coming soon?

    I have exactly the same issue and no one seems to be able to help. I am running the latest iTunes, Classic 160, and Vista. I have synced maybe 40 + times to achieve 2.5GB of transfer. Photos transfer, contacts transfer, (can you transfer the notes section from Outlook as well as the contact info? I cannot figure that out either), I have maybe transferred 10% of what I have in iTunes. I agree, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
    If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

    You did the wrong things. In the future it's a good idea to remember not to do something when you don't know what you are doing and what happens when you do it.

  • HT4436 Why is my daughter receiving my text messages on her itouch when I send them from my iphone? We are both on icloud so how can I separate the two? Do I need another icould or apple account??

    Why is my daughter receiving my text messages on her itouch when I send them from my iphone? We are both on icloud so how can I separate the two? Do I need another icould or apple account??

    It's happening because you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  You don't need to do anything with your iCloud account to fix this.  You should create a separate Apple ID for her device to use with iMessage and FaceTime.  (You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores if you wish; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID you use for other services.)  Once you've done this, on her device go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.  Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    Another caution is that if you share and iCloud account with her, any data you both sync with the account such as contacts, will be merged and the merged data will appear on both devices.  If you don't want to end up with each other's contacts, calendars, etc. on your devices, you should have separate iCloud accounts to.  If you want to make this change, go to Settings>iCloud on her device and tap Delete Account.  (This only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to choose Keep On My iPod.  Then set up a new iCloud account with her new ID, turn on iCloud data syncing again, and when prompted choose Merge.

  • Any hardware fix from Apple on the X1600 motherboards ?

    Hello, Im still using my limp laptop .... it will abruptly shutoff at 260 F . A little app named smcFanControl (v2.2) lets me set the fans faster thereby keeping it cooler. The error code using AHT is 4SNS / 1 / 40000000:TCOP . Sigh, Im so disgusted. Oh, that is ... Any hardware fix from Apple on the X1600 motherboards ...... that isn't replacing the motherboard with the same revision numbered motherboard lol. Have they actually fixed the problem ? Have they acknowledged there is a problem ?
    Was able to load 10.6 from 10.4 by turning smcFanContol (v2.2) up to 6k fan speed and rebooting to the install disk.....fan speed stayed high allowing for completion of the install before hitting the magic number (260 F). Hope this helps others going through this. The computer cannot do any cpu intensive tasks.
    I will not pay to have Apple put the same defective motherboard in my computer AGAIN (To be fair, the last one was covered by Apple under warranty), it just perpetuates the problem. If they have fixed them Ill pay to get it fixed, maybe.....

    i bought a iphone 5s from gumtree. While trying to activate it i realised there was an account linked to it through an apple id. it doesnt say the phone is in lost mode and it still has warranty. am i able to get a fix from apple?

    unfortunately - no
    if the device is on ios 7.1 or above there's two things.
    1) the device may be restored to factory settings - but the phone can't be activated. imei unlock is different to Iphone activatio. - your friend unlocked it to use any sim in any country. iOS 7 forces you to restore the phone and reimpit the original icloud login. This can only be solved if you a)forgot the login/changed  it, and can prove to apple youre the owner; b) to get the original owner to deauthorize his account associated with the phone, on his/her computer.
    2)if there's also a Passcode lock on the phone, and the last registered sim doesn't work (in the case of a stolen phone) - then it's impossible for you to do anything, full security = restore will lead to activation lock immediately. There's no bypass to it, the fake videos online only allow a bypass if the device was a 'jailbrokem' one - which would invalidate apple trying/ever wanting to help you.
    if you know who the phone belonged to previously (usually comes up with the icloud username on it) then you can ask them to deactivate it.
    otherwise, you have what we call - a brickb- won't even work as a super iPod touch
    my iphone was stolen on sat in prague - white, 32 gb iphone 5 - if it's mine, I'll have it back please   just incase

    Apple supports most of their computer products for a 7 year period, could be that your IBook is well past any kind of help.Secondly parts are no longer being made for this machine and never will be again. Finally I find it hard to believe that nothing has been done with this for 6 years.Have you documented the reasons why you were turned down for repairs ? were the replaced Ibooks within a couple of months of warranty expiration? What model is your IBook ? At least if we knew what the model #, some of the more techy types could find out if there were any repair programs for your model.
    Seems odd that you'd hang on to a non-working IBook for that long.

  • I have old MacBook running OS 10.6.8 I was told in Apple Genius Bar that I need a code from apple support to upgrade to 10.7.   Apple support will not help because I am have their support plan.  Can some one help?

    hi Samberl
    thanks a lot for the fast reply.
    I was dragging folders from main folders on the laptop-desktop  onto the external drive icon - to copy them across....
    Your suggestion sounds very promising -  I didn't know about 'cloning'.
    Yes the idea is to backup the laptop -    I thought I would just move it all now, new - and then keep saving/dragging physically   across to the new drive myself each day or two...
    Would this be the sizeof the internal hard drive = c.500 gb  ?   =   under the HD icon on desktop is written  : 
    " 499.76gb , 311.5 gb free  " 
    I can erase and start agin on the new external drive - so this plan is to make two partititions, rather than the one at present, and make one of them 500 gb ?
    I have found CCC [carbon copy cloner] googling - looks good.
    When CCC site says it backs up  the hard drive - would this  mean all my files  [over 100 gb] that are mostly  in folders on the desktop, plus the others in itunes, iphotos etc found in the HD icon,  would all copy across successfully [wherever they are in the computer ]  ?
    thanks again, hope you can clarify these things and then I will go for it. 
    It would be great and amazing if this 'lack of permission' message doesn't show up in the process of doing this ccc transfer - hopeful!
