How do I find out what's wrong with my sound card?

I just tried to watch/listen to a video on Youtube and no sound was produced. I tried multiple other vidoes and the same thing happened. Then I opened Spotify to see if that would work, and it didn't, but it said that something was wrong with my sound card. I'm not sure exactly what that means, so if someone could potentially help me that would be great! My pro is about 8 months old so it should be having all these malfunctions (there have been others...)
On a side note, iTunes wouldn't even open due to "an unknown error".

Try these:
for some of your issues, open disk utility and verify your disk permissions - repair if needed. might take an hour or less depending on how much errors needs to be repaired....once done, restart your macbook....
for your sound issue - do a PRAM/NVRAM reset....
good luck....hope you get it sorted out....

How can I find out what is wrong with swap image in a library

I had a DW8 site that used a library item on many pages with the calls to the macromedia swap image function. Everything was fine.
I've now converted to CS5.5 and I find that:
a) When the library item is changed, the updated pages don't have proper local relative paths. Instead they have the exact path in the library item itself.
b) I can't detatch the library item from a page, I get:
An error occured while loading behavior "Swap Image" Please check this file and associated JavaScript files for errors.
When OK'd this is followed by
Dreamweaver encountered an improper argument.
I went back to DW8, forced a library update and everything was fine. I've checked and so far as I can see, the swap image funtion is identical in the DW8 and CS5.5 versions.
I don't know if a and b are related,

An example page with the associated files that might be involved in this
problem are copied into dummy files on the customer's site:
http://valeriewilding.co.uk/queens2.htm
http://valeriewilding.co.uk/vwqueens.js
http://valeriewilding.co.uk/topNavQueens.lbi
The equivalent working files (from DW8) on the site are
http://valeriewilding.co.uk/queens.htm
http://valeriewilding.co.uk/vw.js
The library file is not normally on the site and, if it was, it would be in
the library directory which could not normally be reached from the htdocs
folder. Going back to DW8 as a workaround has solved problem (a) - the path
error - but downloading these files into a CS5.5 environment should still
show problem (b), being unable to remove the attachment.
There is a second library item on the page, the bottom navigation, and this
can be detached without problem.
The folder structure on my PC is:
htdocs
--- queens2.htm
--- vwqueens.js
Library
--- TopNavQueens.lbi

Film won't render. Error is like: error in frame 3490. How do I find out what is wrong? How can i find the frame numbers?

Hello
Who can help me? I made a movie in Final Cut. Not a special one, some text and that's all. With scenes from mu Sony camera, I imported. When i want to share the movie (to facebook, youtube, or masterfile), it won't work. It loads upto 57% or so and that it quits, and gives error code:
the operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 3490 (error -1).
And now? I can't find framenumbers? How can i find out what's wrong. I tried everything. The film plays well in playback. I just can't make a filmfile.
Xandra Storm

Like Tom said, you can locate the offending frame by switching in Preferences->General the Time Display to "Frames" (that is how it looks in 10.1; I believe that in older versions the same preference might be in Edit or Playback preferences, I can't recall exactly).
When this error occurs, it can usually be solved by deleting render files, or by replacing the clip where the problematic frame happened.

How do I find out what was billed to my credit card?

If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.

Final attempt to find out what's wrong with my pin...

This is my final attempt to find out what is wrong with my ping.
When I try and play online games, they become completely unplayable because very frequently but randomly the ping/latency (ping = milliseconds a request from your pc takes to get to server) spikes up from 20ms to 600ms! This makes it unplayable...
It happens on wired and wireless, any idea what's wrong?

How can I find out what iTunes is billing my credit card for?

I was getting several iTunes charges a month that I did not make and they DON'T show up on my purchase list. I changed my password and checked no form of payment and today I checked my credit card statement and there is a charge to iTunes for $12.98! How does that happen?

Sandy,
When you say they don't show up on your "purchase list," make sure you are looking at your Purchase History (in iTunes under Store > View My Account), and not your Purchased Playlist.
Also, if you happen to have more than one iTunes account, make sure to check the Purchase History for each.
If it is not in your Purchase History, then something must have been bought using your credit card on someone else's account, in which case you should dispute the purchase with your credit card company.

Bug report, how do I find out what is wrong?

my computer keeps getting bug reports stuck all over the desktop. When I print them it is 3 pages long and I dont know how to use the information from it. It only occurs when my son is using Runescape an online game. My son says he has reported all the errors when the computer prompts him to. I did find an Bug Report that seems to be associated with this problem. Our computer did shut down occasionally also, but since I switched the location of the new memory I added it has not continued. The reason I am checking with this website is because this is where the reports are going. The first part of the error report from my computer is this:
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) occurred at PC=0x809D50E

What do I need to do to fix this problem? Could it be Runescapes issue? Is there other information that is more important to this? I really appreciate any help I can get with this problem. And I am sorry for being so long. I have included the Bug Report I found that is an almost exact duplicate of our issue.
Thank you again, Linda Peterson.

JavaJava13 Hey just wondering. Java is used for runescape on my computer, and it seems to be constantly crashing lately. Not only the game is crshing, it seems to even take down the whole computer with it. Sometimes the computer restarts and I get an error message.
"Your system has recovered from a serious error"
Java continues to add error reports to my desktop with this code: 4F530E43505002EF
Anyone help?

try checking with runescapes FAQ/tech support. I play
WC3: RoC and i only got that same memory location
error(0xc0000005). I got that memory error when I
used a no-cd third party program when they upgraded
the server. So, my advice is check on the FAQ for
errors and ask your son if he is using
ANY third party programs.The 0xc0000005 error is a standard error on Windows that can occur for any number of reasons.
It means something in the application tried to access memory to which windows knows the application should not be accessing.

Oh, by all means. Uninstall it using its uninstaller if you have one. Do not install any anti-malware software as it's unneeded with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper 2.0.1
    2. AppDelete 3.2.6
    3. Automaton 1.50
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash 1.8.2
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

How do I find out what is in new versions? What version to use?

We are currently using Instant Client 10.1.0.3 connecting to a 9.2.0.6 database. There are several newer version of OIC that are available (10.1.0.5 and 10.2.0.2). How do I find out what is in those versions and whether it is advisable to upgrade (upgrading 500 clients worldwide is no small task)?
Are there changes in either of these versions that address the vulnerabilities of CPU July 2006?
Our servers will be upgraded to 10gR2 in the next 6 months, if that is relevant to the question.

I see your problem now.
Unfortunately Oracle does not disclose the bugs that are fixed in the CPUs.
It is certain that the fixes from CPU July 2006 are neither in Instant Client 10.1.0.5 nor in 10.2.0.2, because these came before the CPU.
Actually I was wrong in my previous reply, you can apply patches, and consequently also CPUs, to Instant Client. The description how to do this is well hidden in the C++ Call Interface Programmer's Guide, see http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14294/install.htm#sthref105
Basically you have to install the full client, patch it, and copy the patched shared libraries over the Instant Client libraries.
I guess if you want to do that, you will have to upgrade your Instant Clients to versions for which the CPU was released.
As to the question what is preferrable, 10.1.0.5 or 10.2.0.2, I'd go for 10.2.0.2 in the hope that it has less bugs. There have been voices on this forum saying that '10.2 is broken', but they have never given more detailed information when I asked. Maybe somebody will append to this thread.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe
