Computer Lags changing the volume

Any time I want to change the volume with the keys on my bluetooth keyboard, it seems that there is a significant lag bringing up the volume box on the screen that shows the volume level.
Once it's up, I can go up / down anything rather quickly.
Just a little annoying if something starts to play in the middle of the night a little louder than you anticipated and it takes a good 5 seconds after hitting the volume down for it to start going down.
When I first got the Mini, I had no problems....so, I'm trying to figure out where the problem is. Memory issue?
Intel Mac Mini 1.66Ghz, On 10.4.10. Bluetooth wireless keyboard.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Sorted problem now

    So in the last few days I’ve noticed that pressing my volume change keys actually isn’t changing the volume on my macbook pro at all. When I press the volume up or down keys, it makes the recognisable pop sound but stays at the same volume while the squares go up or down. I mute it but my computer still makes sound. It’s the same with the volume control up the top of the screen, too. I slide it up and down and it doesn’t change the volume at all. The only way I can change the volume is with my speakers or the program I’m in (iTunes, VLC etc). I restarted and it seems to be okay then I go to change it a couple minutes later and it’s back to not working again.
    I’ve checked my settings- the “use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard fuction keys” is not switched on, and I have tried a suggestion of moving the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file out of the library and onto the desktop and restarting and neither of those seem to make any difference whatsoever. I’ve tried to find online forums but the only suggestions I found were those two and they didn’t work.
    I’m just annoyed because I usually have the worst luck with technology but my macbook had been going strong and I got it because of the apparent lack of things that could go wrong, but of course even if there is one thing that could go wrong it will happen to me.
    Please help!

  • Can I change the volume of songs in a playlist without permanently changing file?

    I'm making playlists and sometimes the songs have a very different volume.  It doesn't matter when you play a whole album but the contrast of loud and quiet in a playlist can be jarring.
    If I burn the playlist to a disk I can apply the "Soundcheck" that helps.  But what can I do if I just play off my computer?
    I don't want permanantly to change the volumes because then the songs would sound funny when played out of the playlist.
    Any easy solutions?
    I'm using iTunes 10.6.1 on an iMac running OS X 10.6.8
    Thanks

    Any easy solutions?
    No. You can't have a "special" volume adjustment for use in a playlist.

  • The server is available on your computer. Access the volume and files local

    I recently did a clean install on my MacBook (from Leopard to Snow Leopard) and got this error when attempting screen sharing. I provide limited support at my office and do that primarily through screen sharing. One thing I noticed after the install was not only could I not screen share with anyone on the local network, but if anyone tried to connect access my shared folder it would actually open the shared folder of another computer on the network.
    Whereas Screen Sharing would simply time out if I attempted to connect to the majority of computers on the network. However, when I tried connecting to the machine whose shared folders would open if someone tried connecting to my computer, I got the "Connection failed. The server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally." error.
    After performing a hard reset on our Airport Base Station I am now able to screen share with the other computers on our network EXCEPT for the one that gave me the error in quotes above. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I also encountered this error but in a different situation : after having restored my Lion installation from a Time Machine backup, everything was okay except that I couldn't connect to any disk attached to my Airport extreme.
    I searched for hours and even restored my backup a second time. The problem is specific to only one client since my Macbook was still able to connect to the AE. I ended up resetting all the settings on the AE and restoring them one by one.
    The problem appears when I restore the address range distributed by the AE's DHCP server to the one that was configured before.
    Thus the solution seems to change this address range. Must be something related to a network route or cache or anything like this.
    I hope it will help anybody who encounters this problem. Luckily it seems there are very few : the number of occurences of this problem in google is very low.

  • The server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally.

    I have actually solved this issue. However, it was not easy to find support for this specific issue. Here's the problem and solution that worked for me.
    The Problem
    I had an issue with my Macbook Pro and Mac Pro connecting to each other. All of a sudden, I got this message "The server COMPUTERNAME is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally."
    The Solution
    After a bit of digging, I found this article:
    http://www.alexanderwilde.com/2011/04/os-x-lion-connection-error-with-afp-and-wo rkaround/
    Steps 1 and 2 of that article seemed to do the trick for me:
    Launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and do:
    sudo chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
    Now restart your computer.
    From Finder, select an AFP server, or use “Connect To…”.  This will cause the AFP Client to create the full preferences file.
    Thanks to http://www.alexanderwilde.com for helping me solve this.

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall for the network problem.
    Also for the original problem try the following if Ana's suggestions does not work
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Changing the volume of main menu audio

    I was also wondering if there is a way to change the volume of the audio I placed in the background of my main menu page in PE4. Once I originally created the menu (from a template), I can no longer access/modify the song I placed in it. Thanks again.

    1.  Wen you say I shoudl locate my Menu Audio file, do you mean by serching the folders? I cannot find its location within my PE file when it's open. In the same way, I do not know how to actually change the file to another one from within the program. Perhaps I can only view it by searching for it on My Computer.
    When you added the link to the Menu for Audio, how did you locate the file then? That would be the same place to look now.
    Personally, I would Open that file into Audacity, or other Audio editor, make the changes there, and then Save_As, maybe sticking "menu" in its name, so you'll know that it is a different file. Back in PE, I would un-Link the Audio from the Menu, and then just re-Link to the one with the attenuated Volume. Also, you will want the Duration of this Audio file to be no more than 30 sec. (I think that is the Duration for both Menu Audio and Motion Video in PE).
    How can I make the menu audio fade in and out. I assume I can't do that in PE (as I can with all other background music in my project that I see in the timeline). Do you suggest Audacity for this as well even before I import it into the project's menu?
    This can be easily done in Audacity. It might even have a Preset for doing a Fade-in/Fade-out. I usually use Adobe Audition, or actually PrPro (PE's big-brother), as I often do DD 5.1 SS for the Menus, as well as Videos. In PrPro, I just create a new Sequence, something that PE does not have, edit the Audio only, as needed, and then Export as a DD 5.1 SS AC3 w/ the SurCode DD plug-in encoder. Though Adobe Encore, the authoring program that I use, has no limit on the Duration of Menu Audio (or Motion Menu Video), I still keep it to only about 30-40 secs, as I assume that the user will make a selection by that time. Also, with the repetitious nature of the music that I choose, and their Fade-in/Fade-out, if the Menu is up longer, it is not noticable that it has repeated.
    I use music from a company, SmartSound, and a plug-in that works with PE and PrPro, to "create" custom music from their pieces. I've marked about 12 pieces that have the characteristics that I want, and will use one of the SmartSound variations on these. I also use a bunch of their music for my Soundtracks. Though it's not a plug-in, their SonicFire Pro 5 is amazing with what it can do with their Strata Multi-layer Series of Music.
    It seems that their free plug-in comes with PE7, as well as a few pieces from their library. If you do not have PE7, the plug-in is free and works with about any flavor of PE, or PrPro. The music is not free, but over the years I've built up a significant library, whenever they have a sale.
    Good luck,

  • Can I change the volume for watching movies? I have my volume control on my iPad 2 at max

    My iTunes downloaded movies is less than max.  It makes it hard to listen in place like an airplane.  I can change the volume for my music and it plays very loud.  The volume control on my iPad2 is max.

    If these are purchase movies and not rentals, from iTunes, on your computer, you can select the movie in iTunes, use the key combination command-I to get the info on the movie. A info window pops up. Click the Options tab, a volume slider appears at the top of the window, slide the slider all the way to the the right, click the OK button at the bottom of the window. Then reconnect and sync your iPad, again, to the computer and wait for the movie to update to your iPad, then once everything is complete, eject the iPad from the left hand pane and disconnect. When you play the movie, again, from the iPad, the volume should be louder.
    I do not believe you can do this with rented iTunes movies, though as I do not think they are editable as a rental.

  • How do I change the volume for a single midi instrument in GarageBand 10? Every time I move the volume, it moves back!

    How do I change the volume for a single midi instrument in GarageBand 10? Every time I move the volume, it moves back!

    Every time I move the volume, it moves back!
    Check, if you have a volume automation set on the software instrument track.
    If the track volume automation curve is enabled, the volume slider for the track will move with the automation curve.
    Click the automation curves disclosure triangle in the track header and disable the volume automation.

  • Can you change the volume display at bottom of screen to the song time instead?

    I have just bought a new Ipod Nano and really like it!  The only problem I'm having is when playing songs the bottom of the screen shows the volume level rather than how far it is through the song in time (like the old nanos used to show).  I find it really annoying not knowing at a quick glance how much more of a song is left to play.
    I know this info is displayed by double tapping the screen (although it is only shown temporarily).  Is there a way of changing the volume level icon at the bottom of the screen to display the song time instead?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is not.  You can let Apple know how you feel about it using the form on this page.

    Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement.  They replace the ENTIRE device.
    For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device.  Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
    Apple will not touch the device now.  They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

  • The icon when i change the volume up or down is no longer the beats logo, it is a simple megaphone.

    1. HP Pavilion m6 Notebook PC
    2. Windows 7 64 bit
    3. none
    4. I accidentally deleted IDT Audio, i was trying to get rid of programs that i didnt need, i didnt know this controlled beats.
    i noticed that my Beats Audio Control Panel was gone and i searched online and found out i needed to re-download IDT, so i did. Beats Audio Control Panel is now back but when i change the volume up, down, or off, it shows an ugly little megaphone icon and ugly little white bars, instead of the shiny silver beats logo and the silver bars.  I hate the new logo with the mega phone how can i get the beats logo back?
    i tried a system restore from before i uninstalled IDT but it still has the same problem.
    Please reply with any ideas
