A way to remove sound source?

In system pref > sound > device for sound output I'm wondering if there's a way to remove an option listed. It lists my HDMI connected external monitor even though there's no speakers on it and while it's not hurting anything it'd be nice to just have Apple stop recognizing it as a sound source or to at least have it removed from the list.

Yes, I am also seeing that when I connect my 42" LCD to the Mac. I guess it's something we will have to live with.
Just ensure that the device is not the default destitination for sound. Hold down the OPT key while click the Sound menu at the top. Is there a checkmark beside the HDMI device in the drop-down menu? If so, select your internal speakers.
Otherwise, I don't have any other suggestions.

  • Is there a way to remove a painting on a wall in a shot?

    a couple walk by a wall with a painting hanging behind them. is there a way to remove it? like copy a blank space and paste it on the painting? something like that possible? do i have to go frame by frame? its like 15 total seconds...

    I agree.
    Blurring the area sounds more viable.
    Perhaps our friend might go to Andy Mees' site and download his FREE key frame-able "Andy's Region Blur":

  • How can I use the iPad as a sound source for my Mac?

    I would like to be able to record sound off my iPad, onto my Mac.  (I'm using a musical app that only allows me to save short recordings, so I would like to plug my iPad into my Mac and record the music into my Mac, into Audacity or something.)
    I know you can't just connect the iPad from the headphone jack, so I'm wondering what equipment I would need.
    I've heard that the iPad camera connector can be used to export audio out, does anyone know how that works?
    Or, are there any iPad apps available that will make exportable sound recordings of any sounds your iPad is making (from any other app?)  You know, like a screen shot, but for sound instead?
    (BTW, I am not interested in streaming music from my iPad.  I already know how to do that.  I'm trying to export audio from a musical instrument app I'm using.)

    Unfortunately that link doesn't provide the info I'm looking for...
    Answering part of my own question: it ISN'T possible to record audio on the iPad from one app to another. Technically not possible, so there are no apps that serve this purpose.
    So, I'm still looking for details on how to connect my iPad to my Mac and use it as a sound source.  I would like to record directly onto my Mac whatever sounds my iPad is outputting, by connecting the iPad to the Mac's audio input in some way.

  • How do I remove sound from videos in PS CS6 extended?

    I have a series of movies which I intended to individually import into PhotoShop CS6 Extended, add end credits, and then export WITHOUT SOUND. For the life of me, I can't see any way to remove the audio from the movies! I'm sure this feature was easily available in the PS CS6 beta version. Any clues?

    I have the same problem as Ham. I can't see the context menu for sound.
    I saw that context menu in the video that Sudarshan mentioned, but it's not in my Photoshop CS6, where - like Ham experienced - i only see a context menu for Motion.
    Just as Ham, i do see the sound context menu at the beginning of my work. I even got to clips in a project where one clip offers sound editing, the other doesn't.
    Clips where sound can be edited appear as a blue bar. Clips where sound cannot be edit appear as a violet bar. Even if i add an MP3, it appears as a violet bar, so sound cannot be edited while motion editing is offered. I also tried to dampen the sound via the opacity control in the layer panel, but it didn't work.
    I already created a complicated project out of 6 clips. I can't restart now to edit audio before anything else.
    Is there any way to get audio editing (in the limited way that's part of Photoshop CS6 sometimes) in ALL clips within a project?
    Thanks!

  • I-movie 9 removing sound from imported video

    I cannot using any instructions I can find remove sound from an imported video.
    It was very easy in i-movie HD, but in that I could not speed up the soundless video to match a voice-over added just as easily.
    Whatever I did, the Detach Audio remained grey and unusable.
    Can anyone tell me which is supposed to be better - i-movie 9 or i-movie HD?
    WHy do they have two systems running in parallel?
    All clues welcome

    Hi
    Which I could help. Can't.
    Can anyone tell me which is supposed to be better - i-movie 9 or i-movie HD?
    Yes. iMovie 1 to HD6 and iMovie'08 & 09 are two totally different products - not related
    in any close way at all.
    iMovie'08 & 09 are Wrongly named - so that they most often are misstaken to be related.
    Yes -
    • iMovie 1 to HD6 are supperior - IF YOU use miniDV (interlaced SD-video) and aim to make a DVD
    • iMovie'08 & 09 are for material from newer HD, hard disk, memory card and mini DVD Cameras
    and are aimed for quick editing and web publishing. (DVDs will not be as good as they can)
    Yours very understanding - and whiching that I was of more help - Bengt W

  • What is the best way to remove malware?

    What is the best way to remove malware? I don't want to have all kinds of stuff running in the background slowing my machine. My machine is about 5 or 6 years old and running OS X 10.6.8.

    Has your Mac been infected by a Botnet?
    Simply put, a bot – which is short for robot – is an automated computer program that allows outside sources to control computers remotely without the users' knowledge. A botnet is a network of hundreds or thousands of computers infected with botnet malware that communicates covertly with a command-and-control (CnC) server run by a type of cybercriminal called a botmaster. Unbeknownst to the individual users, their computers are linked in a rogue network which the botmaster can utilize for a variety of nefarious purposes.
    Detailed information here:
    http://mac-internet-security-software-review.toptenreviews.com/how-do-i-know-if- my-computer-is-a-botnet-zombie-.html
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

  • Best way to remove clipping

    What is the best way to remove clipping?  I have tried
    effects/restoration/clip restoration(process) and...
    In some cases. it does not remove the distortion, although the graph of the sound wave "looks good".  I have just tried the presets.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Not really - and it's not really surprising that this doesn't work in all cases; in fact it's quite surprising that it works at all, in many ways. Clearly, the worse the clipping the less information there will be about missing peaks, and when the clipping gets to the point where distortion is audible, then quite a lot of reconstruction data simply isn't there for the software to make guesses about - so no cure for it is possible.
    A single peak isn't too difficult to reconstruct - you have the slope of the waveform either side of it, and all you have to do is work out where the intercept points of the two slopes are, and that will effectively rebuild it - probably quite accurately. But the moment your clipped signal effectively encloses two or more peaks, especially if they are part of an extended harmonic, then reconstruction can actually make the distortion that you will inevitably get, worse. This is because the software only attempts to reconstruct the waveform from the slopes either side of the clip, (all the information it has) and any harmonic information that should have been there gets altered, to all intents and purposes - hence the increased distortion.

    That means there's no videos left on the iPad,  and the downloads aren't really there.
    Sounds like a job for Apple Support.   They'll have to remove the downloads from the queue to clear the iPad.

  • I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

    I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
    Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
    This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
    This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
    The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
    If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
    I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
    I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
    A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
    In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
    Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
    If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!

  • Best way to remove last line-feed in text file

    What is the best way to remove last line-feed in text file? (so that the last line of text is the last line, not a line-feed). The best I can come up with is: echo -n "$(cat file.txt)" > newfile.txt
    (as echo -n will remove all trailing newline characters)

    What is the best way to remove last line-feed in text file? (so that the last line of text is the last line, not a line-feed). The best I can come up with is: echo -n "$(cat file.txt)" > newfile.txt
    (as echo -n will remove all trailing newline characters)
    According to my experiments, you have removed all line terminators from the file, and replaced those between lines with a space.
    That is to say, you have turned a multi-line file into one long line with no line terminator.
    If that is what you want, and your files are not very big, then your echo statement might be all you need.
    If you need to deal with larger files, you could try using the 'tr' command, and something like
    tr '
    ' ' ' <file.txt >newfile.txt
    The only problem with this is, it will most likely give you a trailing space, as the last newline is going to be converted to a space. If that is not acceptable, then something else will have to be arranged.
    However, if you really want to maintain a multi-line file, but remove just the very last line terminator, that gets a bit more complicated. This might work for you:
    perl -ne '
    chomp;
    print "
    " if $n++ != 0;
    print;
    ' file.txt >newfile.txt
    You can use cat -e to see which lines have newlines, and you should see that the last line does not have a newline, but all the others still do.
    I guess if you really did mean to remove all newline characters and replace them with a space, except for the last line, then a modification of the above perl script would do that:
    perl -ne '
    chomp;
    print " " if $n++ != 0;
    print;
    ' file.txt >newfile.txt
    Am I even close to understanding what you are asking for?

  • What is The correct way to remove duplicates from the iTunes library?

    I have a 300GB external drive which over the last 5 years has got bloated with duplicate tracks.
    If I use the show duplicates option, I see 10,479 songs totalling over 50GB. Now, those songs that are shown, do they include the original that they are a duplicate of, or are they JUST the duplicates?
    I have been sorely tempted to select all and delete to the trash, but I want to be 100% sure I don't delete any originals. Also, there are some duplicate tracks that are genuine dupes, for example, I have an original LP with a particular track on it, but then that exact track appears on a compilation LP, so I don't want to remove the compilation LP tracks as then the compilation is incomplete.
    I have Tidy Up installed, but I'm a bit wary to use it as I want to be 10% sure I do the right thing, it's a lot of money to lose, and I'm a DJ, so this is thousands of conversions from my vinyl collection and stuff purchased and ripped from CD.
    I see many methods of getting rid of duplicates but no definitive answer for someone in my position.
    Many thanks all!

Currently no access to the SQL code so we have to fix in he Java code...Then really, whoever said you couldn't change the SQL has absolutely no right to turn around and demand the fastest way to remove the duplicates in Java. It's almost certain that the fastest way to remove the duplicates would be for the SQL not to select them in the first place, so if you don't permit changing the SQL then it's clear you aren't interested in the fastest way.
