Apogee Duet clicking, skipping all of a sudden

Was using it fine and then now it is clicking and skipping and ruining the tracks I am recording vocally. What is the value of this $495 equipment anyway? I think my vocals sound better just through the mic in of my MacBook Pro and my keys can come in through my $40 m-audio midi interface.......
Did I damage the interface possibly when I mistakenly set the audio input to built-in mic and the feedback screeching was horrible (never would happen in Garage Band of course.....)????

I'm pretty sure there's no need to panic & return this interface. I seriously doubt there's anything physically wrong with it. Almost certainly the problem is with the driver. There are loads of people with exactly the same problem all over the Forums… it happens when you upgrade something, because the driver was written a bit hastily.
Visit the manufacturer's website to see if there are any known issues or bug reports, & if appropriate, download the latest version that is definitely compatible with your setup.

Apogee Duet FireWire skipping/stuttering audio

I've bought Apogee Duet FireWire back in 2011 when I had another macbook pro and I believe it was OS X Lion powered. The problem started since I updated to Mountain Lion and next upgrades were the same. There was a time when it was not very clean if the drivers at the official apogee's site are fresh enough. But now I have OS X Yosemite and fresh drivers that claim to be for this system. As to hardware, since Apogee had only FW400 wire, later I bought FW800 wire, and then FW800<->ThunderBolt adapter. So now I use this connection: Duet -> FW400/FW800 wire -> FW800/ThunderBolt adaptor -> MacBook Pro. The audio is working normal in 80% of time, but otherwise there are stutterings of the sound. Is there a way to get rid of this problem? Thank you.

I just started having problems with my Duet this afternoon and found this thread so I thought I'd give a shout out to you guys to see if you have any ideas before talking with the company....
I've had my Apogee Duet since about feb and never had any problems until this afternoon. For some reason the Duet doesn't seem to want to interface with my computer at all anymore. When plugged in, the lights light up on the Duet however under system profiler I get the "unable to list firewire devices" error msg. Under the Sound tab in preferences, the Duet is not listed as an available I/O. In the Apple Midi Setup or whatever it's called in utilities, the icon for the Duet is still there but it doesn't show it as online. I can still press the big button and the little green light cycles through input 1/input 2 yada yada yada, but the computer doesn't seem to see it. When I open up Maestro, both the control and mixer screens are completely blank. I've tried resetting the unit (holding button down for 5 seconds), using different firewire cords, and finally uninstalling and reinstalling the Maestro software (using the Duet software - May 2008 link on apogees site) and none of these things solve the problem. I haven't had a chance to plug in another FW400 device into my Macbook Pro to see if it's a problem with the port, but I get the same result with the Duet on my MBP and my G5 PPC tower, which leads me to believe it's a problem with the unit. Also, since it's bus-powered, the lights wouldn't light up if the ports on the computer were fried, right?? Has this happened to anyone else?? Any ideas on how to fix it before calling up Apogee?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Scrolling, typing and clicker "stick" all of the sudden - help?

I bought my MBP exactly one month ago, and things have been fine for the most part. But suddenly the response rate for my clicker, two-finger touch pad scrolling and typing ave been abysmally slow. It takes the computer a few seconds to catch up with what I'm typing, scrolling down pages is no longer smooth and controlled but sticky and "jumpy", and in clicking/unclicking boxes, links (anything)there is a similar delay.
Last night as I was watching some web-based quicktime videos everything froze up, and I had to restart...the first few attempts at restarting were unsuccessful; the grey screen popped up with the apple logo and the timer icon went round and round, but OS never booted. Once I did manage to boot up, the same thing happened again while trying to watch these videos. I restarted again, and again, and again, until the computer would boot to desktop. After that I began having this issue. Any ideas about what this is/how to fix it? Thanks.

viper0066 -
     You must have DiskWarrior v 4.4 in order to run under Lion. That does not mean you can't use an earlier version of DW if you are running a copy while booted in an earlier version of OSX provided that the version of DW is supported by that earlier version of OSX. So, you could use DW 4.3 on a Lion startup drive provided that you are booted into Snow Leopard or older, if that makes sense. Also, as of a few days ago Alsoft still didn't have a bootable CD/DVD for Lion, apparently they are waiting for a copy of the code from Apple to do this. So you can't boot a computer requiring Lion from an existing DiskWarrior CD or DVD (yet).
     I seem to remember a memory error similar to what you are getting when there is not enough room left on the drive for virtual memory while DW works. The larger the drive you are working on the more virtual memory space you need. Remember that DW operates in a fail safe mode, that is, it writes potential changes to unused space on the drive first so you can use the preview function before committing to the final writing of the repalcement directory. How much free space unused room do you have left on these drives, and how big are they? I'm not sure if the free space has to be contiguous, if so you might consider iDefrag or something similar. However, as to any drive that already has problems, do not try iDefrag, that well might make the problem worse:(
     I hope these comments help. - Randy

That can a problem with the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

Also, Firefox crashes frequently. Is there a fix for this also?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox 3.6 that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
For the second issue, the [[Firefox crashes]] support article may help.

All of a sudden I can no longer open a new tab using either the icon on the tab bar, the keyboard short cut or the File menu option. I can open a new tab ONLY by clicking on a bookmark or link.

I have been using find my iPhone on my iPhone 4s for the past year. I will look at it occasionally to keep track of my 12 year old. All of a sudden I have to log in every time I click on the app. I have always remained logged in in the past.. I upgraded to IOS 8 today thinking that might fix it. It has not.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

So I was merging pictures in the events and all of the sudden several went black and when i clicked on the photos they were gone and when I click on the blank picture with an image number under it an exclamation point show up. Have i lot these pictures for forever?

I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
I hope she gets her phone back.
Best of luck.

Why is the battery life dropping so fast on my iphone 4s. Just started all of a sudden today, never did it before. I already double-clicked the bottom button to see what was running and nothing was running. I checked multiple times and turned apps. off.

All of a sudden today my battery life just started dropping off on my iphone 4s. I charge it every night. I double clicked the circle button on the bottom to see what was running and there was minimal running but i turned them off anyway. I checked back in a little bit, the same, turned the couple things off again which were like phone and messages... nothing major running. Battery percentage still plummeted til it just turned off.

Are there apps on your phone right now?
I think one of your apps is causing this.
The only way to find out is to delete them all and then add them one by one to see what app maybe causing this.
Especially if you've gone thru 3 iphones already.
When you restored as new - did you sync back your stuff - apps/music or did you restore from backup?

All of a sudden, when I click on Firefox in order to access my aol free e-mail, all I get is a screen that says "Google". How do I get out of that screen?

I've never had this problem before. Always when I click on Mozilla Firefox I get the Aol screen asking for my password to get my aol free e-mail. Why am I all of a sudden getting this Google screen which I can see no way to exit from it?

Hi pinks60,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed to the default Firefox home page. It sounds like you just want to make webmail.aol.com/ your home page. Just enter that into the address bar and hit enter. Then follow the steps to make that your home page.
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
If you don't see the navigation bar to enter an address or any of the other navigation buttons, take a look at [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]. That article will show you how to turn on the navigation bar again.
Hopefully this helps!
