Help, please.  My iMac sound has gone all stat·ick·y The Video won't play correctly or at all.  I have a Model Name:     iMac   Model Identifier:     iMac12,1   Processor Name:     Intel Core i5   Processor Speed:     2.7 GHz  I am running OSX 10.6.8

Help, please.  My iMac sound has gone all stat·ick·y The Video won't play correctly or at all.  I have a Model Name:
iMac   Model Identifier:
iMac12,1   Processor Name:
Intel Core i5   Processor Speed:
2.7 GHz  I am running OSX 10.6.8

So just to be clear on a few things:
Should partitioning the hard drive not work is it undoable?
Will this have any impact on doing a complete erase and reinstall and will that restore it back from the process?
Is there a limited amount of space that makes this process ineffective?
I have never had to do this sort of thing so I just want to be sure I don;t wind up in the dog house *)
Thanks again

    HI..
    Read here >  Requirements for Mac OS X v10.5
    Your Mac meets the requirements but make sure there's enough free disk space.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

    Hi HarmitClaire,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your MacBook Air is not charging as expected. In this situation there are troubleshooting steps that I would recommend. Please use the attached article as a resource for steps to help you resolve this situation.
    Mac notebooks: All about batteries - Apple Support
    My battery is not charging
    Confirm the correct wattage AC adapter for the computer. A power adapter rated for a lower wattage than is required for the system may not reliably charge the computer. For assistance identifying the proper adapter, review Intel Based Mac notebooks: Identifying the right power adapter and power cord--US. Additional adapter troubleshooting is available in Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters. If issues persist please reset the SMC.
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • Sound has gone all whacky

    Somehow my settings have changed, but I'm not sure where or how. When I go to play something on youtube, in itunes, or in quicktime, the sound is either very faint, distant and thin, or is just a bunch of shreiks and squeeking noises.
    Any idea what the problem is?
    Thanks

    Sounds more like a computer problem than just QT. Suggest that you re-post over in the Using your Intel-based iMac Forums. Took a guess as that is the model iMac you based on your previous postings in the above mentioned forum.
    In the meantime check your Sound Settings:
    System Preferences>Sound>Input. Also check your output settings.
    Another place to check:
    1. Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
    2. Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
    3. Quit Audio MIDI Setup.

  • Help me please, games crash on launch, youtube videos won't play.

    Whenever i start up sound blaster cinema it just crashes, it will be fine for about 10 seconds, then it just crashes, it will usually freeze up everything when it crashes only thing i can do is move my cursor around, it will unfreeze after 10 seconds or so as well.
    I have tried to update sound blaster cinema but there are not updates available.
    It would usually go back to normal after a shutdown or a restart but this time it wasn't having any of it.
    Can anyone suggest anything that i couldn't think of?
    The crashing first started a month+ ago, but today when I was playing L4D2 a boomer explosion crashed L4D2 and sound blaster cinema simultaneously and now sound blaster cinema won't stop crashing after launch.
    (Edit)
    I can't launch any games, i try to play the game osu! and it launches normally except the screen turns black and then it crashes. i try to launch steam and login but the login menu wont pop
    I can't even play a youtube video, the background of the video will show but the video won't play, it's not buffering but the video is loading.
    windows media player won't launch as well, videos on my computer will not play at all.

    (FIXED)
    I went and downloaded thee intel(R) driver update utility 2.0 went to find drivers and then to auto detect and updated my drivers.
     This is the driver that helped me. vvvv
    ( Iris, irispro, and hd graphics driver for windows*7/8/8.1 version 15.36.19.64.41.70 )
    Sound blaster cinema doesn't crash on launch anymore, neither does my game osu! and youtube videos now play.

    The ringtones are working but all other sounds are not working please help

    I had this problem on my iPod Touch 4g. Just press the home and sleep button. Wait and it will give an iTunes and cable logo. Now you can put in DFU mode (Hold Sleep and Home button 10 seconds and then release the power button kand keep pressing on the home button.) Now you will be able to restore it in iTunes.
    If you didn't sell it in al this time

    Apple states that (of the MBP lines) it has to be from Mid/Late 2007 or later.  yours seems to be right on the line.
    Apple says
    If you are running Lion, you can find out if your current Mac qualifies by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, choosing About This Mac, then clicking More Info.
    you must also have the latest version of Snow Leapord or Lion

    If you are running 10.6.8 you can download 10.9 from the App Store and install it with going through 10.7 and 10.8 first. 10.9 Mavericks is a free download in the App Store.
    10.9 Mavericks will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.9 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Mavericks doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Mavericks.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

    You need minimally Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    My early (white plastic) 2006 imac freezes.  I'm running Snow Leopard and have formatted and reinstalled the software 3 or 4 times.   Model Name:          iMac  
    Model Identifier:          iMac4,1

    Until I installed the SMC FanControl application my screen would "break up" into strange patterns and then would eventually freeze.  Please help.

    If you are trying to upgrade using a gray-faced OS X disk from another system, that won't work, as those disks are locked to the system types they are delivered with. You'll need to drop the $29 on a retail copy of Snow Leopard, which is available from the Apple online store. Note Snow Leopard requires 1GB minimum, and you may want at least 2GB for better performance.
