Bootcamp causes macbook to cut out entirely

as per the title, when using Microsoft Office (2000/2003) under bootcamp (originally under Tiger) my macbook would occasionally just die like it ran out of power (rather than a proper shutdown) whether it was plugged into a power supply or not.
Upon Restarting any documents i was using in XP would be erased (or truncated as XP put it)
After upgrading to Leopard this no longer seemed to happen until today. It then also did the same when running VM Fusion. This has never happened when solely running OSX. This is why i think it is related to the Bootcamp partition.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Indeed. I have the same problem:
• Using iTunes to broadcast over my Airport Express = expected results
• Using Apple's "Remote" app for the iPhone to control iTunes over my Airport Express = stuttering, playback and a serious lag in response of volume, FF, etc.
I just noticed this upon upgrading to the latest version of iTunes, v9.2

The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes.

The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes. It sounds like all the low end is removed. I still hear audio but it is MUCH lower and sounds filtered. I can barely hear it maxed out. Nothing attached (no external drives, no speakers, etc) and it's only a few days old.

Apple store pronto. If need be (if less than 14 days from purchase) exchange for a new one!

Macbook keyboard cutting out at times, 10.5.1 installed.

Hello.
Here's the problem. I have everything back to normal on my Macbook, OS X Leopard, boot camp, windows, and etc. However, being the upgrade conscious person, i upgraded my Mac to 10.5.1, and for some reason, my built-in keyboard will cut out at times. There will be times when it's on, and when it's off. And I mean its Off by it actually not functioning. Apple SHOULD UPDATE the Macbook firmware. This has already became an annoyance after a half hour of experience.

Discussions is the hospital for people who need help.
People that have something not working properly check here and find others with the same issues and assume they are part of a large majority.
Apple have sold 5 million copies of Leopard already plus Leopard on over 2 Million new computers.
With that large an installed base there are bound to be some problems especially with all the internet downloads available that may have been made for previous operating systems but not made for leopard.
If you do an upgrade and have downloaded something incompatible with Leopard it will still be there after the upgrade and may come back to bite you.
If you have a fairly clean system you may have a minor issue if you have an old font with a problem or a file or files that had sketchy permissions. These can be annoying but no biggy.
If you do an archive and install, you bring in a clean system and need to reinstall programs that modify the system. Bring them and plugins in slowly in case there is a compatibility issue.
An erase and install makes you store your data off the volume and is not much different than and archive and install except you can opt to preserve your network settings.
You can always bring back in you user settings.
The vast majority of installers don't mess too much with their systems and usually don't experience any problems since they have never brought in anything foreign.
People rarely report things that work only when they don't.
Congrats on all fronts.

MacBook sound cuts out.

Hi all
I seem to be rather unlucky with audio problems and new MacBooks, back in March I returned my Black MacBook for making odd noises when you increased the volume (since I've read the static pop noise is probably the sound card waking from sleep).
My MacBook Alu Unibody 13" Backlight, and a new problem:
I was playing a game, the FlatOut 2 Demo - http://www.macgamefiles.com/detail.php?item=20153
All a sudden the audio cuts out, I quit and check the volume up and down and all you get is an annoying popping static noise, checking the alert sounds it does the same. The only way to get rid of it was to restart.
I had previously played the game the day before with no problem, the only difference is between then and now I've transfered my data onto the machine from an iMac G5. Coincidence? However; I tested it in a new user I created, same thing happens. I've tried a few other games but haven't had the same problem.
My next step will be to wipe it, fresh OS X install and test it again (I'm hesitant due to the hours it took to get my data on it the first time, I don't relish doing it twice).
As I've only had the machine since Friday, I just want to find out if it's the machine, the game, or something I've installed. Can anyone else test this on theirs? (I know after reading this you'll be hesitant).
I've made a video which demonstrates the problem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2Vu140BUdQ
Thank you

I have the answer:
I opened a ticket at http://www.vpltd.com/supportdesk/ the makers of the game:
Their response (which I'm sure they won't mind me posting):
"Hi,
It is game issue and it happens on some Mac models. I am currently working on a fix and hopefully a patch will be released shortly. Fortunately, as you already figured out, it only happens when you have Hardware 3D audio enabled, so until a patch is released, you can play with audio working just fine as long as you disable Hardware 3D.
Sorry for inconvenience. I hope you enjoy our game anyway
Best regards,
Michael Trepka"
So I was on the right track with the Hardware 3D - I can relax now and now be paranoid the Mac is screwed.
Hope this helps anyone who has this problem.

MacBook Pro cutting out as if going to sleep mode

My MacBook Pro keeps cutting out instantly as if going to sleep,as the keyboard lights are still on. I am unable to wake it without turning the power off and on again, resulting in losing all data.

And this is happening when you are actually doing something on the keyboard or trackpad?

FaceTime from OSX (MacBook) frequently cuts out my voice for the listener

FaceTime calls from my MacBook (OSX 10.9.4) to an iPad / iPhone frequently drops out my microphone audio for the other party, they report that the video is still fine when this happens (suggesting it's not a network issue) and that the audio for them keeps dropping, yet I can hear and see them fine. It's really frustrating when they keep looking at me blank and asking me to repeat myself.
I'm calling from Spain back to the UK, I have a 100mb/10mb fibre connection and the other side has 24Mb/1Mb ADSL. I previously had 10Mb ADSL and had exactly the same problem.
The problem does not occur when I call them using my iPhone strangely, suggesting a problem on the MacBook.
On the last call I ran the Quicktime recorder during the conversation, the other side of the call reported the same audio drop outs, after the call I reviewed the recordings which were perfectly clear with no drops, proving the microphone of the MacBook is fine (which Apple recently replaced as they believed that to be the problem).
So points to the FaceTime software perhaps for OSX which there are very little settings for? Has anyone else had this issue and have a fix?
I've tried turning off the 'Use ambient noise reduction' flag in Settings > Sound > Input in case that was playing some part in it but made no difference.

Have also tried using Skype instead and didn't have a single issue.
There are some similar threads below, but they've become so huge that different people have started different issues but there are a few posts within which seem to match the behaviour reported above, obviously have not read through all 18 pages there are so far:
Sound issues using FaceTime on Mac!!
However the one below, with the post from RobJames.com seems to be the closest, also some users above have said they have the same question too, so I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem:
Re: Facetime audio drops
Since the last post I have reinstalled the OS on the MacBook and before installing anything else or restoring anything I tried FaceTime and experienced the same poor audio. I don't think I can do anything more with the MacBook now as it's had it's microphone replaced and also OS reinstall.
I've had a support case open with Apple since January this year, getting nowhere fast, they want me to try calling to other users but I've tried multiple devices at the other end (3x iPhones / 3x iPads) and they've also replaced their router. I've tried calling them while they're connected on 3G and experienced the same audio issues but it's difficult to tell if this was due to using the 3G connection as the video was also stalling there and that's not what usually happens when we're both connected normally to fibre / ADSL.

Sound cuts out after any given amount of time, only way to turn back on is to reboot.

For reference, I am using a fully up-to-date mid-2012 model rMBP. Attached to my MacBook via USB I also have an M-Audio KeyStation 49i, which is where I have my headphones plugged in (probably not related in any way, but just noting this).
I first encountered this issue while using Chrome and listening to music on SoundCloud with Garageband open after the last Mavericks update yesterday. I initially thought it was a Chrome bug, and in doing some research, I found that other Chrome users were having the same issue as me, but it was related to PepperFlash (a version of the standard Flash player), and disabling it in Chrome Canary fixed the issue for them.
Unfortunately, it did not fix the issue for me, but I have refrained from using Chrome since then and stuck to Safari to ensure that it's not two issues with the same outcome.
Then I stumbled across all of the Mavericks users that are having sound problems; anything from crackling/popping to not working at all. It seemed, though, that everyone that was having the sound cut out for them entirely were not only having this happen after their laptops came back from sleep mode (which is not the case for me), but were able to fix it by restarting Coreaudio[d] or -- if they had been using the headphone jack on their Macs -- they just had to plug it in again and take it back out. Neither of these worked or were applicable to my situation. Some were able to get it working again by resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, and a few others seemed to be able to bypass the issue by using Soundflower, but neither of these solutions worked for me either. The only way I can get sound to work again is to restart my computer entirely.
After doing so, I am only able to listen to audio for a certain amount of time. It seems to vary depending on how much memory the task is taking up. Like I'll be able to listen to a track or two on SoundCloud, or attempt to record into Garageband for five minutes or so. If I'm in a Garageband project that already has a lot of tracks, I'll be lucky if I can even get through a few seconds before it cuts out entirely. There are very quiet crackling/pop sounds every once and awhile, but it is hard for me to distinguish if that is just the natural state of the hardware I am using or if it is related to background system sounds.
I'm at wit's end trying to figure out what the problem is, mostly because there are so many others with similar issues and varying hardware/software setups that it's hard to track down exactly what my own situation is.
I'd like to know where I should be exporting any error logs from so that someone can take a look at this issue.
Thank you.

After doing some additional testing, I was able to get the sound working again without rebooting by:
1. Unplugging the MIDI device.
2. Resetting the audio input and output to "built-in".
3. Plugging back in the MIDI device.
4. Changing the audio input and output back to the MIDI device.
Still, though, the sound only lasts for a little while, and there doesn't seem to be anything indicating how or why it stops.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Macbook pro running 6.8 has wifi cutting out and extremely slow

My macbook Pro recently started having issues where the Airport says the wifi signal is full, yet is extremely slow(.5mbps compared to 30 that i normally get.)
It also cuts out but says it is still connected, but chrome, safari, itunes all cannot connect even to google.
So far I have tried,
Deleteing the playlist items in system configuration
restarting the router manually and from the router control panel
shutting off my airport card and turning it back on
set a new location in network preferences
setting DNS to Google DNS and openDNS
setting IPv4 settings to manual
checking the router channel
restarting my computer
setting the network utility to constantly ping
checked the preferences on the netgear router site
turning bluetooth on and off
setting and unsetting a firewall
using network diagnostics
the only thing that works is to turn airport off, then on again and reconnect. even then, I can only get a few page views, sometimes only one, before it stops loading anything. my wifi connection used to be amazing, then one day it just started doing this. I get very slow speeds when I can connect, and downloads are extremely slow.

I also finger McAffee as the culprit, it's not necessary on Mac's as of 10.6.8+ Apple installed their own anti-OS X malware detector and it checks for updates like every 26 hours or so.
If you need to clean the Windows malware off their files, the free ClamXav does the job nicely and doesn't bugger up the machine as it's run as you need it.
For your other slowdown issues, I suggest you look through these tips of mine, my Snow Leopard is incredibly fast.

The internet on my macbook pro keep cutting out in OS 10.8..What to do?

Hello,
I purchased a new macbook pro about in early September and ever since I started using it in my home, the internet cuts out constantly. I was using a aiport to connect wirelessly and then swithced to a router provided by my internet company which is Time Warner. I have the fastest package they sell but nothing seems to help. The internet cuts out after about 5-10 minutes everyt time I use the internet and download speeds are nowhere near what they should be for the package I have.
I'm using the newest OS (10.8.2).
Any help is very much appreciated!
Thank you

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
6. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
    Play sound effects through:
   Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".

Sorry i also forgot to add that my macbook pro is a few years old, and i use a program called airparrot to airplay videos, but i beleive that airplay and home sharing is totally different..correct me if i'm wrong. thanks.

I use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

i use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

Headphones cut out in MacBook

When I plug my headphones into my MacBook, they work as expected for about 5-30 seconds before the sound cuts out. I can unplug them and plug them back in to restore normal function, but it cuts out like before. The headphones work in other devices, and all headphones react the same way when plugged into the MacBook. There is no red light coming from the jack.

Sounds like it's new logic board time for you then. Make an appointment somewhere, and get that swapped out.
