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).

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 ideas why the sound only works on about half of my apps?

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks
if you review the thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3633708
also the thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17513078#17513078
you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.
Good luck.

I am using Mozilla Beta 4. I volunteered to try it out. It's lightning fast. I really love using it. I see there is a new version of Firefox should I download it??

I HAVE NOW SOLVED THE PROBLEM BY RUNNING WINDOWS REGISTRY REPAIR TOOL WHICH HAS OBVIOUSLY REPAIRED CORRUPT REGISTRY FILES.

When Should I Correct The Sound Problems?

I have a set of interview clips in an iMovie '08 project. Originally the video was recorded with two mikes, with one mike on each channel ( L and R). Unfortunately, on some of them, the mike level for one of my interviewees is much lower than for the other, which I need to correct. I also want to put the sound from both mikes onto both the L and R channels, instead of one on each channel.
I have done all my splitting and transitions and titles all that stuff, and am ready to export the clips into a final movie. However, I need to sort out the sound problems.
So - my question is this: is it better to fix the sound in iMovie '08 first, before exporting - and if so - what the best way to do this? Or should I export the movie, and if so, into what format, and how would I then edit the sound? I do own Final Cut Express but have never used it.
Or... is there a better way than these [e.g. exporting into some other program BEFORE compiling into a final movie, and then bringing back into iMovie '08]?
Thanks!

Kanan, the difference you already know, blade .vs rack mount. There are some CPU differences, but not much. Both can be managed by UCSM in version 1.4.x
So it really is ones preference on what you are using it for and how scalable you want things to be for future expansion.
Blades: easy, as you can buy a chassis and have 2 blades in that one chassis and add blades as needed. If using boot from San, can get a server back up in minutes
Rack mount: can take rack space more quickly, takes time to duplicate in case of a failed server
Very small differences, but hope this helps to start the wheels turning.
Good Luck!

With OS X10.9 the Mail window (after hitting reply or forward) grows ridiculously long, sometimes 4 times the width of the screen and would not allow me to readjust the window size. Any one has the same problem? How shall I go about fixing it? (Thanks)

I'm having the same problem. I've tried going into the Library and deleting the mail plist file(s), which fixes the problem, but only temporarily. Would appreciate any help here too!

I took my computer in for service just before the warranty expired now I have one question and can't get any help. The sound buttons on my keyboard no longer work

I installed the new Mavericks update on my MacBook Pro when it was released and offered free of charge. After that my computer started crashing on a regular basis, upon the realization that my warranty was due to expire at the end of the year I took my computer in to the Apple Store in Green Hills Mall about 5 days before Christmas. To anyone not familiar with Green Hills in Nashville TN the traffic is horrendous at all times let alone 5 days before Christmas. They had to send it off for service and it was shipped back to me on Christmas Eve. Through the holidays I haven't used it much. I usually just use it at work between customers and most of the time just leave it here. Friday evening I played videos with no problems, when I came back in on Monday and played a video the sound had decreased dramatically and the volume control keys on my keyboard would not work. I don't know if they were working before because I don't remember if I used them or not since Monday was the first time the volume was so low. Now my warranty is expired and I am very poor ( The I have a job, a roof over my head and food to eat but a negative balance in checking account and bills still to pay kind of poor) so I am hoping that someone out there knows what's causing this and how to fix it.

Mavericks has had a lot of compatability issues and are slowly being fixed. This is why I haven't upgraded yet.
Either downgrade back to Mountain Lion or just wait for a software fix.

I think i understand "artwork size & resolution exceeds the max" problem.

Hi all,
"the combination of artwork size and resolution exceeds the maximum that can be rasterized". Have you ever gotten this error message?
After running into this problem constantly and getting support from you great guys, i think i understand why i keep getting this error.
As you all said, Ai is a 32 bit program and as such can run out of usable memory quickly, not by creating a lot of vector objects, but by having too much memory sucked up by raster objects. This is not a problem when raster object are "linked" but when they are embeded.
It appears the problem occures when you ask Ai to either convert vector objects to raster or create raster objects like shadows. Even if you have a linked raster object - say - a photo, and you want to create a shadow underneath it, Ai will embed the raster shadow as apposed to creating a linked shadow object associated with the object you want to create the shadow for.
Soooo, the larger the linked raster object is (that you want to create a shadow under) the larger the embeded shadow object is. If your creating shadows for small objects, you won't run out of memory very quickly. But if you have big objects you want to create shadows for, you will run out of Ai's allocated memory with just a few objects.
As far as i know, you can't tell Ai to link internally created raster objects like shadows. So this is where all of the alternative suggestions come into play such as:
1. reducing Ai's Raster Effects ppi setting (may or may not help depending on how far your over Ai's allocated memory limit)
2. linking raster shadows created in photoshop
3. creating wire mesh gradient vector objects to use as shadows
Until Ai becomes 64bit, I hope this helps others.

BTW, has anyone printed Ai shadows at a Raster Effects setting of 72 or 150ppi for a large object?
Does the shadow still look good?

IPhone 5 locksreen is green. Do any bod have the same problem?

When my iphone is locked and i press the homebutton i get a green shine under the slider. Is this normal or should i send my iphone back?

Battery life will depend heavily on what you're doing with it. The advertised battery life is a maximum, achievable through extreme measures like turning off wifi and Bluetooth, turning the screen brightness to minimum, turning the sound off and running only very low-demand apps. If you're getting up to 6 hours while not maximizing your power-savings, you're not seeing anything unusual.

Has anyone found any solution for the noise problem for an iMac 21.5"?

I have recently bought a new iMac 21.5" 1TB. There is constant noise which sounds like it comes from the disk drive. It is very loud and annoying and you can hear it 10 ft away even. I took it to the Apple store and of course it is too noisy in the store for them to hear it. I left it at the store for them to check and you guess it, they did not notice any disk drive problem and return back to me. I am not an advanced users and I tell you I am not complaining out of the blue and it is not my imagination. After digging through the community, I seem to find a number of threads indicating that there is noise issue on the iMac.
Now I am worried that I have returned my iMac. If this is not a defect, I am thoroughly disappointed in Apple for designing such a crappy product. How can they let a product like that out?
Before I give up, does anyone out there have any advice? Is my only option now return the unit?

Millions have not had a problem so perhaps yours is due to a bad install. What troubleshooting steps have you done? Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new are steps you can take to try and resolve the problem.

Any body has the same problem with youtube ?

I'm having issues with the video playback on YouTube... it load OK then as I'm watching it the video part freezes as the audio continue. I have a brand new MacBook Pro 13" with 4 GB ram and Core i5 running at 2.5Ghz so there should be no problem with it...
My old PC laptop although slow was playing videos almost perfectly with 3GB of ram and Core 2 processor running at 2 Ghz. On both machines I'm accessing YouTube via Safari as I was running it on the PC as well.

To answer a response that I got yes Flash player is the latest version. I just purchased the laptop few days ago and the first time I went on to the YouTube site it promted to install Flash Player in order to watch any video there on the site...
I have just installed few extensions to Safari from Apple and one of them is called "
ClickToFlash "
And that seems ok now... That might have fix the problem who knows... Will find out won't we.
I've also installed another called "
clea.nr Videos for YouTube™ "
I like the way it displays the videos without all the clutter around on the page. So I keep my fingers crossed for things to go smothly.

Is there any resolution to "SIM Failure" problem?

I get this failure message several times a week on HTC 8X. It doesn't seem to be fatal and sometimes the phone recovers itself from it or other times I have to reboot. I think it is somehow associated with poor signal reception problems. Anyhow it's annoying and is my only detraction to my Windows Phone.

Hello DanDuna, let's solve this mystery! Have you tried powering off and removing the Sim card to see if there are any scratches or if it fits within the tray without movement? Try testing in Safe Mode to see if error appears: http://vz.to/1lgrhf3 You may want to test with an alternate sim card as well. Keep us posted!

TS3297 I upgraded my IPhone and lost some of my songs. I have tried everything the guide is telling me to do but have not hald any results. The other problem is because of this it won't let me down load any songs from my PC. If you can help me out Plzzz.

What can you do on your end to fix this problem??

Not sure if this helps:-
The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work. Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them. The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.
