Any resolutions to the macbook audio problem?

Is there any resolution to the mysterious sound device banishing until restarting your mac?

it's definitely NOT the firmware update, as evidenced by the fact that i haven't installed either of the two recent firmware updates yet.
see the discussion in the macbook PRO threads.
they're sending me a new battery for free, and they'll do the same for you.
this is happenning to so many mb's and mbp's that it's becoming an expensive issue for apple :o(.

    Any Solutions to the WIFI Grayed Problem in 6.0.1?

    I tried everything
    NW reset
    Restore
    Freez
    You name it, nothing works, its a software issue since bluetooth works fine and even the WIFI used to work fine under the 5.1.1 OS, the problem is in the new update 6.0.1 OS and whats bothering me the most is that Apple doesnt seem to care

  • Any resolution for new macbook air hibernation problem?

    I know this problem has started to surface online where the macbook air goes into sleep but doesn't wake and the only option is to hold the power key to reboot.
    After having read posts, resetting PRAM and SMC, I still am encountering this issue.
    Has anybody found any solution that has worked or is this a machine or software defect?
    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem. Has it been confirmed that this is a software issue and not hardware related?

  • Any resolution to the sound problem?

    I have been having the same sound problem with my Mid 2010 Mac Pro tower ever since I got it.  I have been in touch with Apple and have been told that they are familiar with the problem, but that they are still working on a fix.  The problem is that I have external speakers, and every time I shut down and then start up again, I have to go to preferences and physically change the sound output to go to the speakers.  I have also been tole that the Mac is supposed to sense the external speakers and go directly to them.
    Is there anybody else out there with this problem, and has been able to resolve it?
    Thank you.

    I have a 2010 Mac Pro and use the stereo line out jack in the back of my machine for my speakers with no problem.  I don't recall any problems setting it up.  But check the Audio MIDI Setup (in your utilities folder) to see if you can set it from there (should be able to).  Not sure why the preference wouldn't stick.  And I don't believe there is automatic detection of an attached sound output device where the sound preference switches to that (unless maybe the front jack which I never use).

  • Using Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter -- any settings on the Macbook Air I need to change?

    Going into a meeting with my Macbook Air with Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, which will be connnected to a video projector on site. Never tried this setup before. Will this just work or do I need to adjust any video settings on my Macbook Air?

    Hi glraczon.support,
    It sounds like the external display you are using (projector) operates at a smaller resolution than your MacBook Pro. You may want to configure the display preferences in System Preferences for the external projector.
    Here is an article that may help you with that process:

  • Any solution to the X battery problem?

    Hi all,
    I´m one more of the affected for the X battery problem after the firmware upgrade. Is there any solution to the problem rather than sending the macbook to apple?

    Hello,
    I am by no means endorsing any app, but after a lot of searching on the internet looking for solutions. I came across an apple app pkiller, check it out, i just got it today. It kills app that are running in the background, but not the ones that are in stasis ( double click home button, e.g suspended apps). I wish this helps
    Right now my phone is on standby mode
    not  on wifi at the moment
    no notifications 
    no push notifications
    Location services off
    Wanted to see if this app really works so far im at:
    1 hr 32 min standby
    2 mins use
    still at 100% =)

  • Switcher ?Can you change the size of the screen resolution on the Macbook?

    I'm really interested in buying a Macbook. This will be my first Mac. I love the way they look and feel. I'm concerned with the size of everything on the Macbook. The overall size of the fonts in applications such as word, or safari was too small for me.
    Can you change the size of the screen resolution in OSX like you can on Windows? In Windows doing this makes everything visually bigger.
    Please say you can. I'm really wanting the Macbook as it would be great for for a student like me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Hopefully a Macbook 13" 2.0 Superdrive soon.
    Hopefully a Macbook 13" 2.0 Superdrive White soon.

    With an LCD, if you change the resolution, things will be bigger, but blurrier.
    You can however keep the resolution of the LCD at its native resolution, giving the maximum picture quality, and then use tools, such as Tinkertool…

    … to modify the font display size of items such as the menu bar, Finder labels etc etc.

  • The green audio in iMovie won't give me any sound but the purple audio does have sound

    I have been working on a project in iMovie for several months and I just imported a clip that had audio attached. When I did this all my green audio stopped generating any sound but the purple ones still work. I am clueless about what happened or how to fix it?

  • Are there any skins for the macbook endorsed by Apple?

    I really want something that in case it damages my macbook apple will cover it. Plus, I heard how easy the white one scratches and that worries me.

    Marware http://www.marware.com/ products seem good, and lots of people are happy with them. They'll leave no residue, and I can't begin to think how they could damage the macbook. They won't, however, prevent all possible damage. Besides, the apple warranty doesn't cover cosmetic issues, or normal wear and tear. Hence, their endorsement or lack thereof of any cosmetic add-ons is irrelevant.
    Unless you plan to leave it in the box, you're bound to inflict some minimal amount of wear and tear on the thing, no matter how careful you are. Hey, I agree: it's a pretty machine, but I figure it's meant to be used...

  • Any Update on the "Ghost Folder" Problem

    Just wondering if there has been any furhter insight into the "Ghost Folder" problem created after editing in PS CS3 (from LR2)?
    Is there any manual way to get the image from the ghost folder to appear back in the proper folder?
    Thanks
    Ken

    Hi Guy,
    Thanks for the reply.
    When I edited the image in PS CS3 I saved it to a folder as a .tif (so I could send it to a print lab). When I went back to LR2 the saved tif did not show up in my tif folder so I synchronized that folder and that's when it showed up in the "ghost folder" in LR2. When I look at the original folder of tifs this particualr image doesn't show up. I then tried to move (drag and drop) from the ghost folder into the original tif folder but LR tells me there is already an image there by that name.
    So if I manually remove the ghost folder (via LR or in windows) what will happen to the saved tif?
    Right now I have PS CS3 set up as the first editor in the preferences, with tif as thw working format. Are you suggesting that PS be set up as the additional editor as well? WHat do I put in the preference for the primary editor?
    BTW, I am also working in Win XP Pro.
    Thanks
    Ken

  • Any idea when the MacBook Pro will come with the new OSX Lion?

    Does anyone have a clue as to when the MacBook Pro will come installed with the new OSX Lion?  In the market for a new Mac laptop but would prefer waiting for the Pro to come with the new system alreayd installed.
    Thanks

    If you order on-line it will ship with Lion.
    Local retail stores vary according to their inventory, more than likely the have Lion ready MBP.  Call and ask.

  • Any fix for the "remembering passwords" problem with MAIL?

    I've been following the other threads on this topic. I am a new Mac user (all of 5 days) with 10.5.2 preinstalled on a macbook pro, so this is not a migration problem. Applecare has been unable to resolve the issue. My setup is a Verizon FIOS POP account. I've tried all the repairing, creating keychain suggestions. My incoming and outgoing accounts function properly, then they mysteriously forget the login credentials. Is there any fix for this, this seems absurd coming from a PC background? Thanks.

    I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
    Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Today is HP Expert Day - someone ask about the Beats audio problem!

    Let's do it!

    Hi
    Try fn+b toggle just open more and more of the Beats.exe process. I too have had this issue. The fix is a simple one.
    Make sure you have the SWSETUP folder from the factory install backed up. If not, you need to get a copy of the HPTONECONTROL HPQUICKLAUNCH, and the IDT DRIVER (Audio driver) from that folder.
    I tried to get these drivers and programs from the HP support website for the Envy 17, fn+b with these just causes more and more of the Beats.exe process to open up. Even getting HPQUICKLAUNCH and the IDT DRIVER from the HP Support website for my Envy 17 did not give me a working Beats Audio.
    Note that HPTONECONTROL is not listed on the HP Support website. You must get this from the SWSETUP folder.
    I have tested different combinations of different versions of HPQUICKLAUNCH, HPTONECONTROL, and the IDT DRIVER. Only the factory default versions of these actually give a working Beats Audio and fn+b toggle.
    Hope this helps and saves you the trouble. Now time to figure out how to get back my life. 
    Edit: This applies to the Envy 17 and Envy 14 since they both use the HM55 chipset.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • Macbook audio problem

    how can i fix the audio of my macbook so i can hear two things at the same volume. whenever i am facetiming with someone on my macbook, the music that i am listening too on itunes goes to a very low volume and i cant even hear it. it recently started doing this after downloading mavericks onto my macbook.

    The loud pops are not anything to worry about. I get the same thing when I first turn on the computer or when I wake it from sleep while it's connected to my stereo system.
    The cause is the change in electromagnetic fields that happens when electricity starts flowing through everything in your computer. It's nothing to worry about.
