Audio and the "say " command

Hi,
I used to be able to ssh into my imac and use the "say" command in the terminal to make the mac wake up or scare the wife, and after 10.6 Snow Leopard, i've received this error. Anywhere i can download and load this bundle.
Thanks,
$ say whats up

It sounds like whatever was using/installed the DVCPROHDAudio plugin is no longer functioning, but the plugin is still trying to load.
I found one link tying that to iDVD, but I don't have the plugin on my Macbook Pro running iLife '09 and Snow Leopard. I also do not have it on my PowerMac G5 running Leopard and iLife '09.
I would suggest moving the plugin out of that folder, restart, and see how everything works, audio-wise--and iDVD-wise. If everything works ok, I would think that it is a leftover that didn't get uninstalled.

Every Time I do the say command in terminal it shows and error message

Every time I use the say command in terminal it brings an error message but I does say the message why does it put the error message please help

This behavior appears to be arising with some 10.8.4 systems, based on some web searches.
Based on what I've found, there's no specific known trigger, nor any certain cure for this.
See if the discussion in this thread helps any with resolving the MTBEAudioUnitSoundOutput:: PropagateProperty Error -10851 error.
From that discussion thread, please remove any anti-malware software that might be installed and test, and create a second and separate login user and log into that user and test the say command.
Also test with the stock voices and not something that's been downloaded, and also (again, as a test, particularly if you're not using an English locale) see if switching your shell locale to the C locale (export LC_ALL=C) alters the behavior.
If the system is still under warranty or if you have AppleCare with this system, please call Apple support directly and ask.

Terminal does something strange when I use the 'say' command

Hello,
I use terminal frequently and have just nocticed something odd. When ever I use the 'say' command it said this:
- -iMac:~ $ say hello
objc[1281]: Object 0x7ffcc2b1ee60 of class NSRunningApplication autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking - break on objc_autoreleaseNoPool() to debug
It doesn't really bother me, but I just want to make sure it is nothing serious
- Thanks

Could you describe this in more detail: did Firefox prevoiusly split the image over two pages and now it no longer does that?
Or is the problem that there are two images, and if they do not both fit on the first page, Firefox is not printing the second page?
Some page layouts may not print well when split across pages; there are some longstanding Firefox bugs. If this just started recently, those might not be relevant...
Could you give an example URL of a page that has this problem, and indicate where the cutover is between scale percentages that work and those that no longer work?

Why do we have to install 2 add ins for something that should be built in? Please add this to the next version or an update to this one even. We should see the full path of a bookmark when we search for it. Show Parent Folder alone isn't enough if you have sub folders, so I installed Go Parent Folder as well in case of sub folders.

Nobody can know. You have not provided any system info or other technical details like what your PSD files actually contain, their color modes and a ton of other things. Either way, ask in the AI forum and provide the necessary info.

You have two basic options. One is to use a commercial screen recording app with access to system audio built into the app and the other is to add a system extension like SoundFlower that allows the QT X screen recorder to access/record the system audio. I use the former so I am not that familiar with SoundFlower but there should be several posts to this forum covering this topic.

Captivate 7 is not capturing system audio, and the software has a broken link

The Problem:
Captivate 7 is not capturing system audio. When I start a screen recording, the line with "System Audio" and its checkbox are eternally grayed out. Next to the grayed out words is a link that says, "Why is this disabled?"
The lnik goes to: http://www.adobe.com/go/cpaudio
Which is not a valid link, so Adobe's site redirects me to blogs.adoble.com/captivate which is ZERO help. Both browsing and the search bar bring no answers.
The Device:
Apple Macbook Air, Mid 2013, running OSX 10.9.2.
What I've done already:
Obvsiously I have set Captivate 7's preferences to capture system audio, and have set System Settings -> Security and Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility to allow Captivate to control my computer.
I have also tried clicking the Mic icon, Selecting Source with the System Audio icon and that doesn't record system audio either. It acts like it is recording system audio, but when I stop recording I get a popup that says, "Cannot record system audio. Ensure that you are playing audio on your computer [Okay]"

It's a wierd one.
One thing to try, and this fixes a lot of things, trash your preferences.

I have rebooted my computer over 20X and performed the soft reset and the option command p.r. my iMac still gives me the gray screen with the file and question mark.

I have been having issues with starting up my computer for the last 5 weeks it started with a loud clicking sound when starting up and it use to only take turning the computer off and on a few times to get it running. This week it has taken almost a day of me turning off the computer and turning it back on. Last night I did the soft reset and it did come on. I did not shut down the computer and when I returned to it this evening I had to force it to shut down because it was stuck.I have did the soft reset and sad to say it did not work.I decided to try the option command and pr to reset it it did not work do any one have any other suggestions?

You can get a decent new hard drive for $100, plus labor to install it if you're not comfortable doing it on your own. In contrast, a new computer will cost quite a bit more than that. Of course, if that iMac is very old at this point - like, say 6 or 7 years old - the new drive may be worth more than the computer, and you could use this as an excuse to buy a new one!

Adobe Flash and Flash based Video Players and the ps command

OK, I have two v20z servers. I just reinstalled Solaris 08/07 on both of them. These are both Sunray servers. One of the servers is fully patched and has SRSS 4.0 installed and serving Sunrays just nicely. I just finished installing Solaris on the 2nd server.
On the first one I'm not sure what whacked things, the patches or SRSS
If I go to a site with a flash based video player like youtube, Firefox or Mozilla will freeze untill the video is fully streamed.
Also on this server the "ps" command is super slow. I like to do ps -efa|grep whatever to find processes. This unbearably slow on this 1st server.
On the 2nd server I haven't yet patched it or installed SRSS. I think though it's the patches and not SRSS
On this server the Flash 7 that comes preinstalled works fine on streaming videos. It also works fine with Flash version 9,0,47,0. I even copied the 9,0,47,0 version of flash from the server that where flash is freezing, so it's not flash that is the problem I don't think.
Normal flash animations work fine, it's just flash based streaming video players.
Something after patching seems to have done this
Anyone else have a really slow ps and flash that freezes the browser while watching videos?

*** BUMP ***
Really? No one else has experienced this? I can easily recreate the issue, but can't find any fix.

Iphoto will not print and the print command freezes my computer. Help!

I cannot print from iPhoto. When I give the print command my cursor turns into a pinwheel and freezes my computer.

Apparently there's some preference files other than iPhoto's that may be causing the problem. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
1 - close all applications.
2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock. You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
4 - reboot. Be sure to know your account's username and password as you will be asked to log in with it.
5 - run the application again and determine if the problem(s) is fixed.
6 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
B - Open the Preferences folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
D - reboot.
7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
8 - reboot and you're back as square one.
Note: keep the Preference folder on the desktop until you're sure all registration info for your apps are working. If not you can copy the required files from the desktop pref folder to the working one.
