How do I get the audio port to work?

I understand that it is a common problem that MacBook Air audio ports behave erratically. I need to make a presentation tomorrow and have both a Soundmatters and a Bose speaker, but the only one that works is my headphone set - Not much use for a group of 20! I've tried rebooting, deleting the bezier file in the preferences Library but to no avail. Simple effective fixes welcome!
Regards,
Martin

Hey Martin,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues connecting external speakers to your MacBook Air. The following articles may help to resolve your issue:

  • How do i get the hdmi port to work with the tv?

    I bought an HDMI cable, plugged it into the computer & TV, set the TV to HDMI & the only thing that happene is my display on the laptop got large like it was in the safe mode. As soon as I unplugged the cable from the Laptop, the display on the laptop returned to normal.
    I have a HP Pavilion DV9235nr running Vista Premium 32 bit. I can't find anything that tells me how to use my HDMI port properly. Anyone got any ideas????

    Hi,
    Before go further, please try this Fn+F4 (2 keys together). HDMI should pick up automatically but try Fn+F4 o see how we go.

  • Have imported video into audition but how do I get the audio to snap after editing?

    Just to explain, I have imported a timeline from Premiere into Audition CC. I have one full piece of video and one piece of audio but need to clean up the audio. What I'm trying to do is edit the audio and have it snap to the piece of audio to the left as you would do normally. I will then concern myself with cutaways etc to mask the video when back in premiere. My question is how do I get the audio and video to snap in sync with my audio edits( Can't seem to get it to snap at all at the moment)
    Cheers

    The video in Audition is just a guide and can't be edited. So if you cut out chunks of the audio it will no longer be in sync with the video if you try and join the audio together.
    When you say that you are cleaning up the audio what do you need to do to it in order to clean it? If it is just a case of muted unwanted parts of the audio that can be done in Multitrack by using the Volume envelopes to mute the audio at appropriate places without cutting anything out so it won't lose sync.

  • How do I get the RSS feeds to work in iWeb'08 when published to FTP server?

    There are so many unresolved questions because I have published to an FTP server (Netfirms). HOWEVER, my next task at hand is to resolve the issue of a non-working RSS feed and download capabilities.
    The published website is www.vibrationalvoyages.com.
    When using Cyberduck to upload to Netfirms, I have to call the file name vibrationalvoyages.com because Netfirms organizes my files under a main folder called www (I also purchased the .org and .net extensions along with the singular spelling of the title, have forwarded those url's to the .com extension, which means I have different website names under Netfirm's main folder www, all pointing to www.vibrationalvoyages.com).
    I have to drop the www. in front of vibrationalvoyages.com when publishing to a folder on my computer so, when Cyberduck uploads the files into the main www folder, they are read correctly and published as www.vibrationalvoyages.com. In Cyberduck, the ftp address to upload is vibrationalvoyage.netfirms.com
    Before uploading, I use iTweak to insert the Statcounter tracking codes. Then, I use Rage to optimize the site to cut down on the weight (lots of photos). Then, finally, I get to upload which takes about an hour and a half.
    SO, HOW DO I GET THE RSS FEEDS TO WORK AS WELL AS THE OPTION TO DOWNLOAD AN MP3 RECORDED MEDITATIONS? I eventually also want to include the download option of podcasts.
    Please help! I am doing the best I can to stay in love with Mac but he is turning out to be a pot load of work and the love affair is wearing a little thin.
    I haven't even asked about why iWeb still calls some pages 'The family picnic" or why it switches the url addresses to the individual pages. Probably because in the early stages, I copied an entry rather than just do a new one... but I'll worry about that later. I want to get this 'fixed' first and then I'll address the issue, following Roddy's advice to another writer about installing a flash player, for easy download of the MP3 meditations and for when I record the lessons as podcasts. Until I get this RSS issue resolved, however, podcast downloads are out of the question!

    Thank you for checking, Tom,
    I'm confused. What do YOU get when you push the feed button? And why is it working on yours and not either of my machines?
    Today, my Mac (w/Safari 4) gets the same error message: Safari can’t open the page Safari can’t open the page “feed:http://vibrationalvoyages/vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml”. The error is: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.”
    My little ASUS (with a Linux operating system) gets a screen that says "The requested URL was not found". The URL on that page is http://vibrationalvoyages./vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml
    On both error messages, the URL I was checking was:
    http://www.vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_and_Applications/Divine_Light_Vibrations_Principles_ andApplications.html
    The last URL was, of course, the URL generated by iWeb.
    So, my question still is:
    HOW CAN I GET MY FEEDS TO WORK PROPERLY? If the problem is there shouldn't be an http:// after feed: then, how do I get iWeb to set it up properly?
    Any ideas?

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio 2013?

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

  • Answer: to How can I get the reset button to work.

    How can I get the reset button to work?: Answer
    Thanks to everyone who helped on this. You are awesome. Especially Ned!!  Posted here because I was unable to add more to the existing post.
    Here is the question:
    When you click on the reset button, this error below comes up. If you can't find the button it is the navy colored rectangular thing in the lower left corner of page.
    ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
        at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
        at AddATree2/onReset()
    When you click on the reset button, this error below comes up. If you can't find the button it is the navy colored rectangular thing in the lower left corner of page.
      Here is the answer:
    //when you click the reset button everything is removed from the stage
        //except the star, baclground, and reset button (trees and greeting REMOVED)
        public function onClear(Event:MouseEvent):void
                if (tree3) removeChild(tree3);
                if (tree2) removeChild(tree2);
                if (webText) removeChild(webText);
                if (tree) removeChild(tree);
                clickCount = 0;

    This is the answer to what to put in the onclear function.

  • How can I get the readability bookmarklet to work

    Firefox 3.6.8 in Windows XP Home on a Toshiba netbook. How can I get the "readability" bookmarklet to work? It works just fine in Camino on an Apple mini desktop computer running OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger.) Readability uses javascript, which I do have turned on. The problem (of it not working) doesn't seem to have anything to do with the NoScript add-on either, as I tried allowing everything on the page and it still didn't work. Any ideas of what to try next?
    ''Duplicate post, continue [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/746624 here]''

    Hi there.
    By chance, I too have the readability bookmarklet installed (but I don't use it that much, to be honest), and it works ok for me. It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
