Audio output settings reset themselves on restart to internal speakers. I am getting tired of changing the output every time I turn on the Mac. This is a recent problem.

My sound preference does not retain its output setting on restart. It resets to internal speakers. I'm getting irritated having to change it every time I turn on the Mac. I'm running the latest system software (10.10.2) on an early 2008 Mac Pro with 4 cores and 6 GB of RAM. This was not a problem before Yosemite, and everything else seems to be running fine. Any help appreciated.

Does not retain system sound preference settings

After having to reset my Zen Vision M, it now rebuilds the library every time I turn it

My Vision M froze on me about a month ago, and I had to reset it to get it to turn off and back on. When I reset it, it went through the whole Rebuilding process, and then was on again. But half of my music was missing. And now every time I turn it off and turn it back on, it goes through the rebuilding process.
Is there a way to make it stop this. I use it in my car, and every time I get in, I listen to the radio while it's rebuilding. And then I end up forgetting that I even have it with me. Having to wait a few minutes to listen to my music, when I usually only have a little more than a few minutes to listen to music when I use it on my way to and from work, makes it nearly useless.
If I format it back to factory settings, will it fix this issue? Or am I just going to need a new MP3 player? Those Zen Vision W's sure do look really nice. But I don't have the money for that. I'd prefer to just find a fix for this.
Thank you for your help.

MonkeyPeaches,
It could help to update the firmware, and try the Clean Up option in the Recovery Mode menu:

Hopefully that Clean Up option should clear that problem for you. If it doesn't, it might help to do a full format of the unit before you transfer music back to it. That will remove everything on the player though, so back your music up if you haven't done so already.

New Canon 6D: Every time I turn off the camera, my settings revert to some default settings. Advise.

Anyone have this problem? There must be any easy fix, thanks.

Added comment: This seems solved. Certain modes do not allow saving of certain settings.

1.9: Graphics settings 16:9 / 4:3 prompt appears every time I turn on TV

It has been hard getting through on the phone this week, probably due to all of the old curmudgeons whining about the new guide. So here goes...
Every time I turn on my STB and TV I now get the question on whether my TV is 16:9 or 4:3. It only happens on the STB that I have routed through my AV receiver. When I plug the STB directly into the TV it knows the TV is 16:9 and doesnt ask me. Is there a way to make the STB remember this setting when I route the signal through an AV receiver? It is annoying to have to answer the same question every time I turn on the TV. If not, then please consider this a bug for a future update. Thank you.
P.S. EVERYTHING else about the new update RULES! (including the guide).

There is nothing in the STB that can be set to override this. There might be a setting that could be tweaked in the AV receiver though, but we would be no help locating it. I apologize there are incompatibly issues with your AV receiver. We try to make our products as compatible with most products. Yours just happens to be a problematic one. Instead of running both audio and video to your AV receiver, run just audio through a SPDIF cable to the receiver and Video through component to the TV.

My ipod classic 5th generation is not playing any kind of audio. i tried resetting it and i used multiple speakers/ear buds. nothing worked. do you have any other suggestions?

My ipod classic (5th generation) is not playing any audio. when i play a song the little picture of the album cover comes up and the seconds clock and the blue line come up and change/move, but there is no sound. i have tried multiple speakers/ear buds and i have tried to reset it but notheing worked.
What should i do?

Assuming that you actually have the volume turned up (you don't say that you have, after all), make sure that the Volume Limit is not turned all the way down.
Look in the Settings/Volume Limit menu. The small arrow controls the volume as well.

you have definitely tried the correct steps, all you would need to do now is a back up & restore to factory settings. If after that the issue remains then you would most likely need a replacement unit.

Hello there Sweebs44,
It sounds like you are tapping the Game Center app to open it, but the screen is blank. I recommend signing out of your account:
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
From: iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6c493cac
Then close all the running apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone sign back into your account and try again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck. Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch. If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside. If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.
Ciao.

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,
Mario

How do I stop Firefox reverting to standard settings every time I turn off my PC?

I set up my preferred icons history, print, home etc in the places I like them yet every time I turn off my PC the next day they are back to the standard set up & I have to do them all again, more than a little bit irritating as it has never been a problem before & only started happening when I upgraded to 33.1
Things like this seem to happen every time there is an upgrade, it is getting to the point where after years of using Firefox I am seriously considering looking around for a new default browser.
As if to illustrate my point when I just restarted Firefox after installing the troubleshooter add-on all my custom icon settings are gone AGAIN.

Macbook air Wi Fi and sound stops every time it goes to sleep. i have to restart it every time to use wifi and sounds. this started happening just after the latest upgrade to OS X. any reasons why its doing that and how to fix it.

Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
8. Reinstall OS X.

HT3887 my bluetooth says 'Not Available' how do i get it to work again. I have restarted the computer several times and have replaced the batteries in both the keyboard and mouse and yet it still is not working! please help

I have had the same problem. It was cured by turning computer off and/or restarting it. I am not sure if once was enough. I think shutting down must cut out whatever it is that blocks bluetooth. Good luck

I lose my Wi-Fi network settings every time I turn off

Hello, and thank you for your time. Just bought my iPod Touch yesterday, and am loving it.
One problem I'm having, though. I can't keep the settings for the network I want to use.
I configured my router's network on it. Put in WEP and the security key. I was connected to Wi-Fi just fine, no problems.
Then I turned the iPod off. When I turned it back on, even though the iPod is configured with the router (which is on private network, so my "lovely" neighbors don't leech off it), my network disappears. My PlayStation 3 that I'm not using for a network appears every time I turn on and off. But, every time I turn the iPod on, I have to put in the information for the network I want to use (name, security, password) all over again.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry if there's an answer here already and I missed it. Thank you.
Walter

You need to select to "remember" the access point so it automatically reconnects unless by "private network" you mean that you're not broadcasting the SSID. If that's the case, it won't reconnect automatically-it's a feature, not a bug. My advice, broadcast the SSID and set a strong password. Hiding it doesn't do much for you from a security standpoint. Setting a 40 digit random password does.
If this doesn't work, do a Restore.

I have been trying to update my software in my macbook pro, but every time I go through the motions of updating/restarting my computer nothing happens and it still shows I need a software update. Anyone know why this is happening?

How large is your HD and how much space do you have left?
Check out the following & do the necessary:
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
Try SU again.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
