Update to 10.5.7 broke my speakers

Ran the update this morning and now I can't hear sound out of my speakers. I've check all the usual places and they should be working, but whenever i push the volume up button on my PPC G4 laptop, i get a circle with a slash through it.
anybody?

Don't know how it happened, but after a couple of reboots, the situation corrected itself. I love it when that happens, but I hate it at the same time.

Updated iTunes won't connect to external speakers

I updated iTunes and now when I initially open it on my computer it won't locate my external speakers connected via Airport Express. I have made no other changes to my set up, computer, speakers, etc. I have to restart my computer and then the second time i open iTunes, it finds my speakers. This is a big pain and makes no sense.

I have almost the same problem - see my post earlier today at 7:48 am. When I had just Airport Express I could play iTunes to the remote speakers through AX. When I created a wireless network with Airport Extreme, then added the Airport Express to the wireless network as a client, now I can only play iTunes to either the computer speakers OR the remote speakers through airport express, however when I try to play to both (by selecting multiple speakers in the drop down box in iTunes) I get the exact same error message you get.
I thought it was something I had done wrong with the setup, but now that I know there's someone else out there with the same problem there must be some glitch with Airport Express when you add it to an exisiting network. I have tried resetting both my Airport Express and Airport Extreme, recreating the network, etc., but the same error message keeps coming back.
Has anyone out there done this successfully???

Update firmware to use iTunes with multiple speakers

I updated iTunes today to the new version 6.02.23 mainly because I was anxious to use the new "multiple speakers" feature. When I went to try it, though, I found no option...just My Computer and AirTunes.
All I had to do was update the firmware on my AirPort Express. Once I had done that the multiple speaker option appeared, and it works great. Now I am listening on my computer and my wife has it on the speakers upstairs.

Hi Friday56,
that's exactly what I would like to do. I have itunes 6.0.4.2. installed on my pc notebook and just updated the Airport Express firmware. The result is the same as before: i can see only the remote speakers and "my computer", but no option "multiple spaekers".
Are you sure this option is available in itunes for windows?
greetings

IDT driver update = No sound from the built-in speakers

I just recently bought an HP - dv6 WF536AV Laptop.
The sounds were proper from the built-in Altec Lansing speakers , till i updated the audio drivers via HP Support Utility.
Now i do not get any playback from the speakers mentioned above, but while plugging in my iPod headphones, there is audio in the headphones.
I've tried to reinstall the IDT Audio driver from the HP Support utility as well as one downloaded from the website :
IDT High-Definition Audio Driver 6.10.6289.0
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-86241-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
Yet, nothing is resolved.
Of what i understood from various articles on the web, was that the new driver sets the headphone jack as the primary device for audio output and hence it does not reach the speakers.
Also , I'm pretty sure of this not being a hardware conflict since the laptop is recently purchased and i've rarely used the headphone jack.
Following are the details about my system :
HP Pavilion dv6t customizable Notebook PC
• black cherry
• Genuine Window s 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-350M Dual Core processor (2.26GHz,
3MB L3 Cache)
• 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 5470 sw itchable graphics
[HDMI, VGA]
• 4GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
• HP TrueVision Webcam and Digital Microphone

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_7605&SUBSYS_103C144A
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
From the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and then open Device Manager. Click the small arrow next to Sound Video and Game Controllers, right click on the IDT High Definition Audio Codec and select Properties. Click the Driver tab then click on 'Roll back Driver'. Click yes or Ok to any further prompts and let the process complete. Reboot the PC and see if your sound is back. If it is not repeat this process again.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
DP-K

Updating to 10.6.8 broke my installer

When I attempted to update my little pile of Macs to OS X 10.6.8, one of them, my Macbook (Early 2009), for unknown reasons came up not installing, after a lot of time on the phone trying everything else, finally had to reinstall OS 10.6(.0) and re-upgrade. The opinion of Apple Support was that the installer broke during the upgrade(?). No third party apps were damaged and hardware was OK. The Macbook Pro, MacPro and MacMini all updated fine.
It's probably past time to say goodbye to SL...

You're right...
Apple really screwed up the sound, even when using their own application... i tried DVD player.app, and it plays 2.0 AC3 and 5.1 AC3 fine.. but after stop playing DVD, stereo digital output is dead..

Updated to 3.6.4 - broke my Firefox?!?

3.6.4 update broke my Firefox?!? Firefox won't load a single page but Chrome and IE are fine.

Which Firefox version did you have before the update?
You can only have permanent tabs if they are locked by an extension. So if it isn't working then you need to see if there is an update of that extension that works with Firefox 3.6

[FIXED] boost-libs update (1.53.0-1) broke deluge

now deluge bails out with:

Edit: I think the version of boost-libs that broke deluge is 1.52.0-2.
BTW: Why do i see a 1.53.0-1 version for boost-libs on the front page of arch linux (recent updates) when pacman -Syyu gives me version 1.52.0-2 ? Thx.

Also broke for me. Downgrading to 1.52.0-1 fixed it. Here are the relevant daemon.log lines:

HT204291 apple tv update and iPad update to iOS 8.2 broke airplay

First I updated my iPad (2) to iOS 8.2. When I noticed that movies did NOT play from iBooks.
I checked for an Apple TV update. There is one today, so I did that. Now there is NO AIRPLAY option on the iPad!
Am I missing some new setting or did Apple break AirPlay?

between restarting my ipad and restarting my apple tv, it's working again. However, movies in iBooks are still broken!

Todays update to 7.1.0 broke "Display PDF in browser"

I do ***NOT*** want PDFs displayed in my browser.
I ***DO*** want PDFs displayed in a separate Acrobat window.
Version 7.0.9 was working this way until the update to 7.1.0 went in today.
Now, regardless of the of the setting of the Edit --> Preferences --> Internet --> Web Browser Options --> "Display PDF in browser" checkbox, all PDFs ARE being displayed in the browser window.
How do I disable this behavior or uninstall this last update?

I have managed to fix my problem with PDFs only opening in the browser. I went to MSIE(v7) Menu --> Tools --> Manage Add-Ons --> Enable or Disable Add-Ons... --> Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer --> [find/highlight the line with file = AcroIEHelper.dll] --> Disable --> OK --> Restart the browser (and maybe the PC).
As for 7.1.0 not being a real update, that is wrong. It is real.
Read about it here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb08-13.html
It says:
"Adobe recommends users of Acrobat 8 and Adobe Reader install the 8.1.2 update and users of Acrobat 7 install the 7.1.0 update to protect themselves from potential vulnerabilities. This is an update to resolve the issues previously reported in Security Advisory APSA08-01."

Update to 10.6.3 broke Quicktime Pro 7.6.6

After the update Quicktime Pro crashes as fast as it opens, do not understand, help? It does the same on my older iMac and newer Mac Pro. Used the Combo updater, fixed all permissions after the update. My Quicktime pro came with the Final Cut Suite.

Thanks, I tried your suggestion and it still crashes. (you did mean user preferences? because that's the only ones I could find to trash.) There does seem to be a lot more files in preferences. I am at a loss still as to what is causing this. Installed 10.6.3 on 2 macs and both have the same problem, I find it hard to believe I'm the only one with this problem, but I guess that's the way it goes. I used the combo updater.
I use Soundtrack Pro version 1.1 almost everyday, this will make it almost useless. Anyway, thanks for trying Carolyn.

Update to 10.5.7 broke AirPort?

I have never experienced this before updating to 10.5.7. Now when I'm connected to my wireless network with my Macbook, and as soon as I turn my iPhone on, and it connects to the same network, the Macbook looses connection immediately.
Well, the wireless is still connected, you can browse other network resources, it just looses connection to the internet. Absolutely weird.

I also have this issue, but like the other responder I haven't noticed any correlation to other devices connecting to the network (though that might be the case, since I don't know how many people share this network).
I have great signal strength, and when it's working, I get very high network speeds. However, suddenly my traffic will stop, yet my network remains connected with full signal strength.
I can fix it instantly by just clicking the airport menu, and as soon as it rescans for networks, my traffic starts again. I can also get it running again by typing this in Terminal:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airp ort -s
But it's still very annoying because it's completely unpredictable, and sometimes will happen over and over every couple of minutes, interrupting file transfers and making me miss chat messages.
I reset PRAM and deleted preferences, and it seemed to improve slightly, but is still a major problem. My old powerbook, still running 10.4, is completely unaffected, and my MBP was behaving completely fine before the 10.5.7 update.

After installing Update v10.8.3 no sound via speakers

Hi everyone I just installed 10.8.3 and speakers stopped working. Sound via airplay or bluetooth headset works though. anyone with the same problem?

1. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
2. 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".
3. Applications>Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup.app
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so uncheck it.

Update to 6.0.6 broke my capture

I am trying to capture some video I shot a while back after updating my FCP today. Any ideas?
In the middle of capturing FCP just shuts down and I'm screwed.

Couldn't be the update. All the update did was add two .txt files to the application so that FCP would recognize the system profile of the newer MacPro and XServe machines. Before that FCP was profiling them as iMacs! So I doubt that adding two text files caused you to not be able to capture.
Trash your preferences...that fixes tons.
#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

OS Combo Update 10.5.7 has broke my sleep mode---HELP!

Hey,
I am really upset with Apple right now for releasing a faulty OS update that instead of improving my MAC, it has made it a nightmare. After I installed the last OS update (i.e. OS Combo [of trouble] Update 10.5.7). I have not been able to put my computer in sleep mode because it just keeps on turning back on. Without sleep mode I have to shutdown my computer or leave it on all day just so I can use it. I went on other MAC forums and lots of people are having the same problem with no solution.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem (so far I tried the refiguring the ethernet connection--didn't work) please let me know because I am really hating Apple computers right now, and I have a Vista operated PC!

I would be hesitating to blame the 10.5.7 update as being the cause the problem even though it is co-incidental. I would suggest that something is amiss in your settings or something has gotten corrupted. It's just a matter of narrowing it down and finding where the problem is. Do you have anything connected to your Macbook, other than a power cord, that could be triggering it to wake up? Is it possible that some external device is the cause?
