BAD audio from one speaker (the other is normal)

I JUST got my iMac today in the mail, and all was going swell, I was pleased... that is till i started to play some music, it sounded a little weird, I isolated the problem to the right side.
I played a movie and the speech is what's noticeably distorted.
I heard apple has a return policy, what is it?

Sorry to hear of your problem. Contact wherever you bought it from and ask them. No one here can help you as we are just users and the decision has to come from wherever you purchased it. I would imagine that they would replace a bad, brand new out of the box unit but only the seller can do that for you.
Good Luck!!

I created in iMovie, and extracted audio from one of the clips to use in the title sequence. All is well, export to iDVD and it plays OK, but when I burn the DVD the audio for the titles does not play. Any suggestions?

Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ?

This is my first mac i have 2 hard drives installed how do i move photos or documents from one to the other

i just bought my first imac i have 2 seperate drives on it. how do i move photos and documents from one to the other.

This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
You can move your iPhoto Library to an external or secondary internal disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Switching data between MacBooks (everything from one to the other)

I need a faster notebook for business. My wife's MacBook is newer than mine and has agreed to switch with me.
Both laptops are backed up to the same Airport Time Capsule.
What is the best way to switch the data on both machines, from one to the other?
Thank you,
Bill

There are probably other ways to do this.
One way to accomplish what you want to do is to make a current backup of both computers. For an option in case there is a Time Machine problem, I would also make a clone of each hard drive and temporarily store the clone on the Time Capsule.
Boot into the Recovery Volume (hold down command - R or hold down option key) and restart. I would run Disk Utility Repair Permissions and Verify/Repair. Then use Disk Utility to erase the disk. The format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Then reinstall the OS.
Reinstall OS
Reboot normally and then attempt to inherit the Time Machine backup for the computer you are working on. Use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to restore the backup. Using the same user account name as on the old computer may make things easier.
Inherit a Backup
Inherit a Backup (2)
If for some reason you have trouble inheriting the Time Machine backup, attach the Time Capsule to the computer, mount the clone in Finder, and copy the files you want to restore.
Once everything is completed, you can delete the clones from the Time Capsule to allow more room for the Time Machine backups.
I would seriously consider buying a 2nd Time Capsule and create two separate backups before attempting anything. One backup isn’t enough because hard drives do fail. Time Machine will allow you to backup to 2 disks and will alternate between them. Instead of using Time Machine on the 2nd hard drive, you might want to consider using the second drive to store a clone on because you can make a bootable clone.

I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

See the following thread on the same topic:
2 Thunderbolt displays MBP = sound coming from both displays?

I have two macs in my house. One is newer and came with the os x mountain lion software and the other one needs to be upgraded. I was wondering if there is a way to take upgrade from one to the other? Should not have to buy this software again.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Buy it for the other computer. Mountain Lion is preinstalled on the new Mac, but you can only use it in the new one

Signing into the iTunes account has never made content magically appear... it still amazes me that people think this will actually work.
Type "move itunes library" into the search bar or your favorite search engine. You'll find multiple results for how to move the iTunes library.

I have an iMac (OSX 10.9.2) and a Macbook (same). I want to copy photos from one to the other. how?

I'm sorry. I got a little off-the-wall there.
I want to have the same iPhoto files on both machines. A few days ago I spent several hours swapping photos back and forth until I had one event with identical picture files on both. Yesterday I scanned some old photos into the Macbook. Today I wanted to copy them to the iMac. I could not remember what I had done a few days ago, so I spent a couple of frustrating hours trying to either remember or find another way, to no avail. I have no idea what I did right before; I only recall that it was pretty easy.
I didn't write anything down. I used to do that, but what I do is so intermittent that by the time I want to copy pictures again either (a) the app has been updated and the old way doesn't work (b) I've lost the paper with the notes on it or (everything seems fine but it just doesn't work. So I gave that up.
Yes, I do want both iPhoto libraries to be the same. The Macbook is the one with the scanner and I download from my camera on the iMac, so I need to be able to move photos from one to the other, I think.

Airtunes Audio from One Speaker Only

I've been running my Airtunes device for about a month now. However, I've just noticed that the sound is only coming from one speaker. I have done all the normal things such as changed the speakers, and changed the audio cable, but the problem persists. Apart from that, the devices exhibits no other problems.
Before I send it back on warranty, anyone have any ideas on what I might be able to check. TIA.

Have the same problem mate...really annoying.... i went and bought a better quality cable but to no avail!! Bringing it to local mac service place tomorrow to get it checked out. Looks like the stereo input port is wrecked!!

Broken key on keyboard and staticy audio from one speaker. Advice?

Hey everyone, I'm new around here, name is Mike...
I bought a T61p last Sept. and have loved every minute of it.
However, I have two problems:
a) I was typing the other day and one of the keys (the ctrl key on the right hand side) popped off, and I can't seem to pop it back on. I think one of the little connectors might be broken? Normally I don't even use this key, so it's not the end of the world, but it looks kind of trashy, and I'm worried about excess dust getting into my computer now that there is another opening.
b) When playing music above level "40", there is lots of static on the left speaker. It has been this way since day one, but since I normally use external speakers or headphones, it's never been too big of a problem, but since I might be sending it out to get my keyboard fixed, I figured I should have the issue addressed.
According to the warranty, I have until Sept 09 for it to run out...
So, my question is what should I do to get my T61p back into perfect condition? What steps should I take?
Thanks!!!

Solved!

Well, by "limitation" I mean that a tiny 0.5" speaker doesn't have much power handling capacity and unit to unit variation will likely result in the breakup of one before the other. You aren't going to get "loud" and you aren't going to get "bass" (if you turn up the bass in Media Player that will definitely distort the speakers).

No audio from one of the speaker

hi guys,
i have a hp pavilion dm 4 beats edition laptop, there are two speakers at the bottom out of which there is audio output only in the left speaker and i cannot hear anything from right one. i did the sound test which doesnt show any problem, the drivers are upto date. am not able to figure out the problem, please help.

Hi,
Try the following.
Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
