Cant change volume
Hello all,
This new Pro has a problem. I started it up today, and the volume meter is stuck.
Whenever I push f5 to increase or f4 to decrease the volume, the symbol appears on screen
and shows full volume as well as a little circle with a slash through it underneath.
I assumed this ment the computer was muted, so I went into system pref, and looked for an
answer there. The mute option in the pref. is faded and unclickable. So now I am stuck with a
muted computer. Any ideas?
Look in the headphone jack. If you see a red light, it in optical mode, which has no volume control.
There is a switch in the headphone jack to switch the audio to digital when an optical connector is plugged in. Sometimes the switch sticks in the optical position. Try poking around in the headphone jack with a toothpick to reset the switch.

Cant change volume if a program is selected
To change the Volume on my Laptop, i need to hit Fn-F9-F11 depending if i want to move it up/down or mute. But it will only change it if i deselct the programs I am using, As in Playing a game, i have to minize it, and click the taskbar, then im able to change the volume from those keys, rather than that it will not change it.
Does anyone know why it might do this?Hello hyper335,

NisaHi Camelot,
How would you assess the effect on "overhead"?
This may have nothing to do with it, but I was curious as to the effect on speed of the script, so I ran the two scripts below. On my old souped-up 7500 (900MHz), the first script, with the "say" command outside the tell block, yielded an average of 111.7 ticks; the average for the second script was 110.1 ticks. So the difference appears to be about 1/30th of a second, insignificant for a one-time event (but maybe not if the routine is repeated numerous times).
(By way of comparison, my 2.7 GHz machine averaged about 80 ticks on both scripts. That's about half a second faster, and is noticeable.)
Script 1
set t1_ to the ticks
repeat 20 times
tell application "Finder"
open file "MAC HD:Users:osimp:Desktop:SEM Hazards.rtf:"
open folder "MAC HD:Users:osimp:Desktop:herd:"
end tell
say "Now close!" using "Fred"
tell application "Finder"
close folder "MAC HD:Users:osimp:Desktop:herd:"
close window 1 of application "TextEdit"
end tell
end repeat
set t2_ to the ticks
set AvgScriptDuration to (t2_ - t1_) / 20 & " ticks" as text
Script 2
set t1_ to the ticks
repeat 20 times
tell application "Finder"
open file "MAC HD:Users:osimp:Desktop:SEM Hazards.rtf:"
open folder "MAC HD:Users:osimp:Desktop:herd:"
say "Now close!" using "Fred"
close folder "MAC HD:Users:osimp:Desktop:herd:"
close window 1 of application "TextEdit"
end tell
end repeat
set t2_ to the ticks
set AverageScriptDuration to (t2_ - t1_) / 20 & " ticks" as text
(Finally, deviations from the mean ran as high as 4 ticks on the slow machine, and occassionally as high as 2 ticks on the faster machine -- for what that's worth!) -
Cant adjust volume after safari 5.1 update!
just done the safari 5.1 update on my 2007 imac, all went well and it works great, ive noticed since doing this though that i cant adjust the volume of my imac! when i press the volume keys it just has a sign indicating the volume cant be adjusted!
the sound however is outputting, its just i cant change the volume.
anyone else had this issue?
many thanks,
JamieHI Jaime,
Open System Preferences/Sound. Click the Output tab.
Make sure the Mute button is not selected at the bottom of that pane.
Try Resetting the PRAM
If that didn't help, go to /Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.soundpref.plist file to the Trash.

my icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?
To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID. If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can i purchase an app of japan store without change my itunes store? i have balance in my US ac so i cant change my stores, but the app i want to purchase in jp store is a free app.... i know apple dun allow balance spend in other countries but it is a free app
You cannot use the Japanese iTunes Store unless are physically present there and have a Japanese payment method. This applies even for free apps; you cannot get them from the Japanese iTunes Store if you are in the US.
If you are in Japan, you can set up a new iTunes Store account just to get free apps. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
If you have moved to Japan and wish to change the country of your account permanently, you can contact the iTunes Store and ask them to clear your remaining balance. You will need to be able to provide a Japanese payment method, though.

How do you change volume permissions with Solaris Volume Manager?
(Previously posted in "Talk to the Sysop" - no replies)
I'm trying to set up Solaris 9 to run Oracle on raw partitions. I have my design nailed down and I have built all the raw partitions I need as soft partitions on top of RAID 1 volumes. All this is built using Solaris Volume Manager (SVM).
However, all the partitions are still owned by root. Before I can create my Oracle database, I need to change the owner of the Oracle partitions to oracle:oinstall. The only reference I found telling me how to do this was in a Sun Blueprint and it essentially said "You can't change volume permissions directly or permanently using SVM and chown will only remain effective until the next reboot. To make the changes permanent, you must modify /etc/minor_perm". Unfortunately, I can't find an example of how to do this anywhere and the online man pages are not particularly helpful (at least not to me).
I'd appreciate a quick pointer, either to a good online resource or, even better, a simple example. For background, the volumes Oracle needs to own are:
/dev/md/rdsk/d101-109
/dev/md/rdsk/d201-203
/dev/md/rdsk/d301-303
/dev/md/rdsk/d401-403
/dev/md/rdsk/d501-505
I provide this information because I'd like to assign some, but not all, of the devices under /dev/md/rdsk to the oracle user and I was hoping some smart person out there could illustrate an approach using simle regular expressions, at which I'm horribly poor.
Thanks in advance,
AdrianRon, I feel your pain. I just came from an HTC also and a lot of stuff with this iPhone is bugging the crap out of me. Who makes a phone where you can't adjust the ringer and alert volumes independently? Instead, I have to adjust the alert volume when it is active. C'mon guys. Get with the program. You won a bunch of Android users over with the 4S, but you're going to chase us all back when we're done with our contract. Frustrating.

can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.
Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it. -
I cant change my email under settings on my ipod touch it wont even let me click on it any ideas?
i cant change my email under settings on my ipod touch it wont even let me click on it any ideas?
To get reid of the Restrictions passcoe you have to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. You should do that anyway since the apps and music (if any) on the iPod do not belong to you. They did not transfer with the purchase of the iPod hardware.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support. -

Flashplayer freezes for 5 seconds on changing volume or any other setting
On changing volume or any other setting while watching video, Flashplayer freezes for about 5 seconds then continues as normal.
(Windows 7 and Mozilla Firefox)Hi,
You don't need iChat.
It should not be on there at all.
If the iCon in the DOCK looks like this then it is linked to iChat 4.
You should be able to Right/Control click that and get it to "Show in Finder"

Cant change store due to credit balance
CAnt change store due to credit balance of $ 0.02 which i have to spend first. Nothing costs that little. How do i get rid of the balance?
See the quote below from Can't change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store account - Apple Support
Store credit balance
You must spend your balance before you can change stores.
If your store credit is less than the cost of a single item on the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store, you can add a credit card to your account. When you buy an item, you will use the remaining store credit and charge the remainder of the purchase to your credit card.
If you don't have a credit card, contact iTunes Store support.
