The sound on my laptop has stopped working entirely, with and without headphones. What should I do?

The sound on my computer has stopped working. I have searched through countles google entries to try and figure out the problem but I can't find anything remotely useful. I never spilled any liquid or anything on my computer. I was just searching through youtube and when I clicked a video there was no sound. Then I checked iTunes and tried to play some music, still no sound. I played around with the preferences and volume control, still no sound. If you have any advice please help. Going to the apple store is so expensive and I don't have the time or money.

Did you try resetting PRAM and SMC?
Is there any red light visible in the headphone port?

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

Hello Everyone,
I am Rohit from India but recently moved to new Zealand. I have been fan of lenovo since 2008 when I purchased first laptop Lenovo 3000 Y 410. after that I have recently imporated Lenovo vibeX S960 phone.
It was started and working well initially. but one day the message pop up about upgrade the firmware.
I have updated it to Kitkat 4.4.2. After that I have been constantly getting message " unfortunatly the process com.android.phone has stopped working".
I have tried factory reset few times but the error has not been removed.
I am annoyed by this problem.
Kindly give me solution. pls

try this: settings/appsswype to left until you reach ALL tab.scroll down to Phone icontap ittap on clear datatap on force stopreboot your device then try again with SSID code, if it still crash, only a factory reset probably will fix the issue.

I haven't yet. I'll dust off the old CD-Rom drive and plug it in to give this a try.
Thank you!

Hi..
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the AdobePDF browser plugin to the Trash.
Try Safari.
If you have problems locating the plugin...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:

My Photoshop 9 Stopped working I get the message "Elements 9 Organizer has stopped working"

My photoshop 9 program stopped working after using Adobe Premiere 9 to generate a slide show using Adobe Photoshop 9 organizer to place photos. The program crashed as I was attempting to burn a DVD. After this happened, I no longer could access the organizer in Photoshop 9. I get the message "Elements 9 organizer has stopped working" " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will close the program and notify you of a solution is found"
I tried unistalling Photoshop 9 and the problem remains.

Thanks for your suggestion. I checked the Epson web site and also their technical help, they gave me their latest driver (which didn't work) but also said there were some issues with Apple's Mavericks (OS X 10.9.4) and said I should get back to Apple. Not sure were this leaves me with Adobe Elements though - perhaps I should reinstall? Thanks again for your suggestion.

I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro. The application keeps timing out and at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes. The document is 275 pages. Is there something I can do to stop this?

Hi Ricci,
Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?

I have Adobe Acrobat installed as part of the CS6 suite.
It has stopped working (yet again -- it has done that three of four times over the last year).
I have spent days trying to repair it; etc. without any success.
The last time this happened, it was necessary for someone from Adobe to reinstall it entirely, if I remember correctly.
I give up. Can anyone tell me what I must do get the program to actually work?
I spend more time trying to get Adobe Acrobat to work, than I do actually doing my work.
My OS is Windows 8.1. My system has 16 MB of RAM, and hard disks are not overfilled.
I run update virus checker (Kaspersky) daily.
Cheers,
Hugh

Hi Hugh ,
Could you please tell what are the challenges you are facing while trying to access Acrobat ?
Do you get any error message ?If yes ,please share the screen shot of the same.
Please try the solution outlined here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html
OR
Try repairing it from Control panel, or try launching it with a different user account and check if it works or not.
Install the latest updates for Acrobat X from the link : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
and check.
Let us know how it goes,

I have tried fixing Firefox by uninstall reinstall that didn't work. I still get the same error message: Firefox has stopped working. May have to change!

I am not the only one having this problem why is Mozilla not doing something about it? I am about fed up & may have to change to a different browser! Firefox was the best browser I've ever had but not anymore! Wish I could go back to the old version--it worked just fine! The new version is when I started having this trouble!
Time for Mozilla to step up & get a fix or you will be losing more than me I think! I've disabled real arcade & most other add-ons. That didn't help either.

Thanks for offering help but I have done all of the above & it didn't work! I am really getting fed up with it every time I close Firefox I get the same msg. "Firefox Has Stopped Working." At other times the msg. comes when I have it open. Then I have to close & restart whatever I was doing.
Don't know what else to do!

Hello sallyo11,
Go to Control Panel, Programs & Features. Select HP Support Assistant and uninstall it. Restart your machine after removing it.
Next download the latest version for your machine from the link.
Let me know how everything goes.

The screen goes black 2 or 3 secs after lifting the lid, but comes back on if I disconnect the magnetic power lead, after that it works fine with or without lead. Anyone had this problem, and is it symptomatic of a serious fault

The screen goes black 2 or 3 secs after lifting the lid, but comes back on if I disconnect the magnetic power lead, after that it works fine with or without lead. Anyone had this problem, and is it symptomatic of a serious fault?

It could be a software issue. I would reinstall the OS. You don't have to lose or reinstall any apps from archive and install. This way, your user folder remains intact but you get a fresh copy of the OS.

The sound on my laptop has stopped working entirely, with and without headphones. What should I do?
