volume greyed out.

HI,

Where exactly on your Mac is it greyed out? The Disk Utility app? Can you please provide more details...




Thanks,





Carolyn 🙂

Hi NY3

based on all the problems everyone is having with 10.6.3, would think that the update is the problem. If you used the built in software update to install 10.6.3, then suggest download the combo update from apple's website and re-install.

Some have reported success by using combo updates after problems with delta update. I always do combo updates and so far no problems.

Regards

Hi NY3

Glad to know it fixed it. More importantly, thanks for posting back with solved answer. That gives others a quick solution too. Thanks.

This fix did not work for me. I am having the same problem. I tried zapping the pram also.

Had the same problem, and after first checking the system prefs and rebooting I solved it in the simplest way possible.

1. Carefully inserted the headphones, which made the volume show as normal again.
2. Then very gently unplugged the headphones. The volume is back to normal.

So it must be a sensor that got a bit stuck inside the headphone jack, which is why the toothpick trick may work for some.

Your fix actually worked. I was very surprised! Thank you!
