How to reset the sound card without rebooting my Mac?
Sometime when I plug/unplug my headphones from my MacBookPro I get no sound afterwards. When I adjust the volume, it doesn't show any error just no sound. I've checked the I/O settings as sound is a very important aspect of my profession. The solution found at the beginning was doing a PRAM reset and it worked fine. However, in the process my Mac needed rebooted. I then found that opening the Terminal and inserting the command
sudo kill -9 `ps ax|grep 'coreaudio[a-z]' | awk '{print $1}'`
works fine without restarting. I was working on a Max patch and was forced to close. So, My question is: Is there a way to solve this issue without restarting or having apps I'm working with forced to close? I am switching fairly normal, not hastily, between headphones and speakers when working with Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools and Max and relying on my Mac to be professional about it.
Your iCloud password is your Apple ID and password. You must know it since you are posting here.
Have you transfered your MMe account to iCloud? If not, open iCloud in system preferences and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
If you have transfered it to iCloud, do this:
Go to the iCloud icon in System Preferences and open it. Sign out of iCloud.
Open Mail. If the iCloud or MMe account still exists in Mail's preferences under accounts, select the account and delete it. Then sign back into iCloud and choose Mail and any other applications in iCloud that you use. The Mail account should be put into Mail automatically.
Signing out of iCloud should remove the account from Mail and signing back in should put it back. There is no manuel account creation by you when using Apple Mail application.

I keep getting asked for my Mail password when I want to send or receive mail in Mail. I do not know what this password is as I thought it was my Apple ID password, but this fails. I have changed that password so many times recently as I thought they were linked (why aren't they?). How do I change my Mail password without having my old one? Are there some security questions I can answer to do this? Heeeeelp please.

How to reset the security questions without the phone call ?
Hi
i want to reset my security question ( and make the rescue mail ) in order to puchase apps from app store.
I can not make the call since i am coming for a business tripo abroad .
How can i do it online ?If you are not currently in the country where your account is based then you won't be able to download any content until you return to it - you need to be in a country to use its store.
If you don't already have a rescue email address on your account then you will need to contact Support in your account's country to get the questions reset, which is likely to be by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account - you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -
I've forgotten my administrator password and can't download software. can anyone advise how to reset a new password without having the original?
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
(these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
command line:
/sbin/fsck -yf
If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
mount -uw /
cd /private/var/db/netinfo
mv local.nidb local.old
rm ../.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
mount -uw /
ifconfig lo0 up
cd /var/db/netinfo
netinfod -s local
Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
Now, enter:
sync
reboot
and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed. -

How can I record what the sound card is outputting?
I have an app. that I need to be able to capture what the
sound card is outputting. That is I want to record anything that plays
from the sound card. I don't want to
have to route the speaker out to the mic in. Is there a way to
"capture" the sound as it is being played?
Thanks
BobAs I understand you would like to record the sound (wave, midi, others...) generated by a third party application without a cable loop between soundcard output and any soundcard input (mic, line, aux).
Have you already tried to set the record input on the recording control panel of Windows to stereo mix and to use any standard labview vi (eg: snd read waveform) for recording?

How do I reset the lock code without knowing the existing code?
Turn off phone. Plug the USB cable into the computer you first set the phone up with. Open iTunes. Plug the USB cable into the phone while holding down the home button. Choose restore as new on iTunes. All data will be cleared from the phone and it will be in the same condition as when you first bought it new. I just had the same problem and the only thing I could not retreive was the pictures that were stored on the phone. All my apps that I purchased could be restored. Email accounts will need to be set up again.

How can I reset the CAN card before it can be used for transmit from VC++
I am using a tool developed in VC++ to send and receive the CAN data ove NI-CAN card. The application is designed in with different threads, which will call the NI-Card for sending and receiving messages.One thread will use the card for sending, others will be waiting for the completion. Once one thread completes next which is there in the queue will take control over CAN card and will release after using it. So other threads can use it. Every thread will follow initialize -> send -> uninitialize sequence. I am facing a problem If more threads are used, the can card is giving the NI can card initialization failed. Only way to use the CAN card after it is failed is to restart the complete operating system
Is there any function to reset the CAN card driver from VC++ (it is using NI drivers) before it is initialized to avoid restarting the system?
Please help.
Message Edited by Md_Sajid on 09-17-2009 01:44 AMSince sound can only come from the speakers, you will need to clarify what you have tried so far. Is your volume level turned up? Is the volume low when you are trying to play music? Is there a case on your phone obstructing the speakers? Is there any dust or lint in the speakers? Try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go.

I tryed to secure the router with the easy-link program and i want to reset the whole thing.Also if anyone know how to reset the netowrk setup from the control panel that would be great too.
What router are you using?
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank (note: some routers have a user name of "admin" ), and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you. -
Satellite P500 - Solution how to run the sound on XP 32bit and 64bit
hi all..
Now I write here how I made something that seems impossible ...
I mean running sound on a laptop satellite/ qosmio p500/505 300/500
and other models with the Conexant high definition sound card on Windows XP x32/x64 sp2/sp3 ..
I know that many of us have a problem to run any sound at all,
the basic problem is that Windows XP does not have a built-in driver files
are responsible for recognition of the latest sound cards based on high-definition audio.
Last patch to the system kb888111 released by Microsoft aimed to fix this problem was released in 2005
and is not contained in the files that recognize the latest Conexant sound card.
next problem is correct driver. Toshiba has not released XP drivers for the Conexant sound card
for laptop qosmio / satellite 500 / 505 , so you should find and use the drivers from
the manufacturers of other models of computers. most of the drivers and the best have to download Lenovo and Dell.
Personally I used to run the sound in my P500 drivers Downloaded from the Dell web site
most important in the downloaded drivers, then you want to install is to edit .INF file which can be found in the folder
with drivers. This file is a text file so edit it in notepad.
edition .INF file is trailing in the path identifying our equipment.
hardware ID can be found for example in the device manager tab in sound, video and games controllers.
for most newer toshiba laptop hardware id is :
%HdAudioFunctionDriver.Pebble5071.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModel,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5069&SUBSY S_1179FFD4
but it may vary so please check it in your computer !!!
Those who managed to run the sound will certainly have to contend with another problem,
after restarting the computer has no sound and the computer loses the drivers and settings
and next to the watch does not appear on the speaker icon.This problem is also solved by me below.
Now to work ..
I assume that you have already installed XP x32 or x64, but not yet run a sound.
to run the sound, install the driver from the chipset, then the patch kb888111.
If all goes well,
in the device manager tab system devices you should found 2 entries "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio"
where are those 2 entries, click on each of them, right-click and select "update driver"
then you select "instal from a list or specific location" and then point the location where you saved the
files that you downloaded from the link No. 1
REMEMBER not to confuse and do not try to update the x32 system using file system designed for X64 and vice versa
when we make updates to the system should automatically detect the sound card in Device Manager should be about
5 yellow question marks, four belong to the Nvidia high-definition audio and one for the Conexant High Definition Audio.
Now install the driver from the Nvidia graphics card which contains the sound driver. after installation reboot
after restarting the computer. enter the device manager and there is no longer 5 yellow question marks,
is the only one this one belongs to the Conexant sound card, Right-click on this one yellow entry and
select "update driver" then you select "instal from a list or specific location"
and then point the location where you saved the files that you downloaded from the link No.2
pointing hand and forces the driver installation. after installation, you enjoy the sound.
REMEMBER not to confuse and do not try to update the x32 system using file system designed for X64 and vice versa
link No. 2, includes drivers which I have edited and which I myself use
in my Toshiba Satellite P500-1CG. these are the drivers for XP x32 and x64 sp2/sp3
link no. 1 http://www.speedyshare.com/files/23583256/UAA_BUS_DRIVER_update.rar
link no. 2 http://www.speedyshare.com/files/23583437/xp_pebble_drivers_for_toshiba.rarbelieve that this solution will also work with other models of Toshiba computers that have built-in sound card Conexant. Ultimately, it will be only a matter of editing a text file. INF driver sound in which you will need to add before installation, your hardware id. and all that. enjoy
