Re: Mac mini sound output
frying that sort of output is difficult because there is a limiter resitor in it check your iphone headphone, if there is a mic built in then the plug may have 3 rings = not compatible do you have powered speakers around, they should have that mini jack (3mm) plug aswell, if it's a true 'line out' then headphones may not work @ all another thing: may be you phone techie placed a short onto the audio in..you should get him in to fix the problem for free cheers James On 30/07/2009, at 8:50, Andrew Schox wrote: Hi all, I have a Mac Mini that I use to provide an on hold service on our telephone system. This plugs from the little sound output plug on the back into the phone system, and has worked faultlessly until we had a technician in to play around with the system yesterday. It appears that the mac no longer outputs sound from the port. If I pull the plug out, the sound plays through the speakers, but if I plug it back in, no sound is forthcoming. I have checked with iphone earphones an I am not getting anything there either. I have two questions: 1. Could something to do with the phone system have fried my sound output? 2. If this might be the case, who should I send it to to try to fix it?

Re: Bluetooth problem
Hi John, I have a MacBook Pro 15 with Leopard, probably the most disappointing and flawed Mac I've had in a long time. One of the many day-to-day frustrations is that Bluetooth drops out when used with my Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard. There is no such problem with any of my other Macs. Apple issued a FirmWare update, but it has not helped. To get Bluetooth working again, I have gone into Bluetooth preferences and chosen Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar. When Bluetooth drops out, I use the trackpad (which is the MacBook Pro's redeeming feature) to go into the Bluetooth menu and Disconnect one of the devices. When I do this, all devices re-connect (including the one I just 'Disconnected') and Bluetooth is working again. Works every time for me.

Re: Bluetooth problem
Hi John, Had a feeling the easy fix would not last. A huge amount of people have had and are having this problem, especially with the MacBook. Some have found success in the easy fix, some with resetting the PRAM, some by resetting the SMC. To reset the SMC: 1. Shutdown your Macbook 2. Disconnect the AC power adapter remove the battery. 3. Press hold down the power button for five seconds then release the button 4. Reconnect the battery and AC power adapter 5. Press the power button to restart http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 To reset the PRAM: 1. Cold Reboot your computer (turn it off, wait, turn it on) 2. After pressing the power button, hold down these keys simultaneously: Command-Option-P-R. Hold the keys down until you hear the startup chime at least one additional time after the initial startup chime. 3. Release the keys http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Cheers, Ronni On 31/07/2009, at 8:09 AM, John Thompson wrote: Hi Ronnie, Tried your suggestion.

Re: Bluetooth problem
Thanks to James and Peter. I have checked the suggestions but my problem is not just the mouse losing connectivity, it is Bluetooth itself dropping out and showing as unavailable. Will see if future OS updates do anything towards resolving this problem.

Re: Bluetooth problem
Also, bear in mind that Bluetooth is on the same 2.5GHz band shared by many other devices such wifi, cordless phones etc, so you may want to check for those in the near vicinity as well. -Mart On 31/07/2009, at 12:04 PM, James / Hans Kunz wrote: sorry if my question sounds stupid is there any other device (mobile phone) with bluetooth active within 10m of your mac? i had similar problems. as soon i switched off the haedset/ handsfree all was working again James On 31/07/2009, at 8:09, John Thompson wrote: Hi Ronnie, Tried your suggestion.
