but no sound in my ichat. it was working just a while ago...i don't know what happened! help please

Hi Patrick Y,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages
If you mean you can not hear sound alerts for iChat nor the spoken text if chosen - then go to System Preferences > Sound > Special Effects and turn up the Alerts volume.

My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?And all the sounds on my phone are on, even the keyboard clicks.

Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, double check the volume button just in case. If you still can't hear the tones go into your settings>sounds and make sure the options are on.

ALSA often doesn't produce sound anymore after suspend

Hi,
For some years this has been fine and pulseaudio worked fine after waking up from suspend.
But for about one or two month it more and more often doesn't. After waking up from suspend I just don't hear sound anymore. I can't find any error message anywhere, just that it doesn't output sound anymore. Killing it with "pulseaudio -k" or "pkill pulseaudio" or "pkill -9 pulseaudio" doesn't solve it. But "telinit 1", waiting until pulseaudio is dead and then "telinit 5" solves it so it is definitely not my sound driver.

Any ideas how I can find out what's wrong?

Maybe the power saving for my sound chip triggered the problem. I had this in my startup config:
echo 1 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
I have removed it and hadn't had that problem so far. If it doesn't happen in the next time I'll mark this as solved. :-/
EDIT:
Nope, it didn't help. Today after waking up from suspend it didn't output any sound although everything seemed fine.
This time I tried transferring the sound over the network with pulseaudio. That worked.
Then I killed everything and even went to init 1. But there not even mplayer -ao alsa worked and I had to reboot to get my sound back. So, not pulseaudio's fault, but alsa doesn't work right.

6 year-old battery makes horrible sounds, the charging light doesn't appear anymore

Hello!
My battery (and my laptop HP Pavillion zt3019ea) are 6 years old and for few weeks now my battery has made horrible sounds (like a loud mosquito) when connected to the charger. When it's not connected to the charger the sounds stop but it looks like the battery hasn't been charged at all.
The charging light doesn't appear anymore, or very rarely.
Is it the end??!
Is it worth buying a new battery for a 6 year-old laptop (i already changed the hard drive few months ago)?
Thanks a lot!!!
Marine.

I will definately recommend buying a new battery for the unit since you still work on your notebook.
It is bettery to buy geniune spares from HP than buying third party spares as you will have a warranty on the battery purchased.
Although I am an HP Employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

My Iphone 5s doesn't ring anymore (sms, whatsapp, phone call, reminder in the calendar, etc)

My Iphone 5s doesn't ring anymore (sms, whatsapp, phone call, reminder in the calendar, etc) I can't find why.
I trieds to go on Youtube and for that I have sound so it is just for the rings.
Can somebody help me please?
Thank you so much!
Mary

Have you checked your mute switch (right above the volume buttons)? If you see orange, it is muted and will affect the rings, but not the audio on YouTube.
Just toggle the switch so you don't see the orange and check again.

Ichat doesn't log all the time/poor camera connectivity

My ichat doesn't always log on. Sometimes it will after using the computer for thirty minutes or so and sometimes not at all(same is true with AIM). However, my firefox and safari both work all the time so it's not an internet connection problem. I'm using an ethernet cable for service. I was wondering if there's a setting or something I need to change...
Also when it does finally connect my isight camera (external) does not always connect to talk with other people. It has worked before rarely but when it's connected the image is extremely choppy and blurry; however, the sound is usually pretty clear and fluid. How can I fix this?
Thanks.

Hi
For your logging on problem
Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.
For your blurry problem
Set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps(dont use automatic)
In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to NONE.
Restart iChat.

Headphones doesn't fit anymore

Hey
I have a little problem with my iPhone 3G, the headphones doesn't fit anymore. I have used the headphones with the phone since I bought it (July 2008) without any problems, but today when I tried to plug in the headphones, they didn't want go all the way down, and sound quality was terrible. I can push it all the way down (and the sound is normal), but it goes up again if I release them. It seems like something is stucked in side there (altough I can't see anything), or that something is broken. I have tried with two different headphone (both made for the iPhone 3G) with the same result.
It could also be dust, but I seems strange that it should go from working perfectly fine (yesterday) to not working at all (today).
Anyone experienced the same problem with their phone before?
I'm considering going to the Apple Store in Orlando tomorrow to see if they can help (the ATT store where I bought phone couldn't help at all), but if someone knows something I can try before driving to Orlando, I would appreciate it.

Take a look at this shot:
http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu99/Dakine/3GJack1.jpg
It is a shot of how it should look, the white plastic at the bottom is the moisture indicator. If you see lint you may be able to get it out with a very thin wire with a bend at the end to hook the lint out, just make sure the wire is soft and the phone is OFF

MacBookPro 15' retina doesn't start anymore

Hi guys!
I just bought the brand new MacBookPro 15' retina and was on my way to set up all setting like icloud, email and etc., and when I moved dock to the left from the bottom laptop just paused and doesn't work anymore. I was trying to reset several times but it didn't goes through. Only the apple sound and nothing after.
I don't remember operating system because I just start to use this laptop.

There a slight chance you might be able to recover it by resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). Otherwise it needs warranty service.

IPhone 4 - power button doesn't work anymore! HELP

I have a problem with my iPhone 4.. the power button doesn't work anymore... if I press it, it doesn't response (i can't hear the click, when i push it).. how much does it cost for repair it? my warranty is expired...

So it doesn't do anything at all? The sound clicks are one thing, but if the screen locks, then it works.
It will be $149 if I am correct from other posters.

M-audio fast track pro doesn't work anymore

Today I plugged in my M-Audio Fast Track Pro which worked fine few weeks before, but now it doesn't work anymore. It shows up everywhere fine but I can't play any music. The videos on Youtube can't be played at all when I have selected this soundcard as output. Same every other application like iTunes. I have reinstalled the drivers, rebooted my mac but nothing helped so far. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks.

I had the same problem (Fast Track Pro + Mavericks 10.9.2 > no output sound).
After trying several combinations, I found out an non logical solution, but it did work
What I did:
1) Download the most recent driver update 1.9.4 (http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Fast-Track-Pro-Drivers)
2) Uninstall Fast Track Pro Drive and restart computer
3) After restar, do NOT install again. Just go to the System Preferences/Sound and set Fast Track as your in/output port
Hope it helps!

ISight doesn't work anymore

Hello guys,
my internal iSight stopped working some days ago It worked well for more than 1 year (I did lots of video chats with Skype and iChat and took even more snapshots with PhotoBooth) but now it suddenly stopped. I have no idea what the reason could be, the notebook just lay on the table as it did for weeks, it didn't fall down or anything like that.
The whole system doesn't detect the camera anymore, the system profiler says under "Hardware->USB" that there is a "Vendor-Specific" thing instead of the camera. Even under Windows XP via Bootcamp the iSight doesn't work anymore, though I used it without problems some weeks ago.
I've already had the very same problem on 16th august this year. That time I could fix it just by resetting the PRAM and VRAM, but this time this doesn't work. I also wondered whether a Firmware-Reset might solve the problem, but as I've installed the MacBook Firmware-Update 1.1 I can't use the Firmware Restoration CD (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303469: "Note: This CD cannot be used to return an Intel-based Macintosh computer's firmware to a previous version if a successful update has already been performed.").
I really hope you can help me and that it's not a hardware-defect, because my guaranty has expired some weeks ago.
Thanks, Woelfle

Ok, it actually seems to be an hardware-defect Well, at least an insulate contact. I've pressed the area around the iSight camera and the MacBook-display softly and now the camera works again as if there haven't been any problems. This explains why it worked again after the first time the defect occurred…
So what would you say? Let it as it is? Don't change anything? Or opening the bezel around the display to check the contacts (how difficult is this for a layman?)? Or going to the next apple store and let them check the contacts (remember: I don't have guaranty anymore)?

MPEG-2 component doesn't work anymore

Hi,
I now recognized, that the MPEG-2 component doesn't work anymore. I don't know since which moment, but maybe since the last QuickTime update. I reinstalled it, but it didn't solve the problem.

I can open a m2v fil but there is no content and it displays like a sound file.
If there is no display screen above the controller (i.e., looks like an audio file), check the Inspector (or Properties) window to see what the QT player thinks is contained in the file. Also, what is the source of the file? Files split by windows users and posted on the internet frequently open in this manner without a display screen. Basically, if the QT MPEG-2 Playback component is not working, the file will not open at all. Also, M2V files are normally paired with a separate AIFF file. If you have QT Pro, open the Properties window and check the "Resource" pointer for your M2V track.
I can't find where it is installed either.
Did you check the root "Library > QuickTime" folder on your start-up drive? Also, did you install the correct codec? Two versions should be contained in the image file. You want the one that says "For QuickTime 6.4 and later & Intel Macs."

Since installation of Mountain Lion the latest version of sony Image Data Converter doesn't work anymore. How can I tackle this problem?

Since installation of Mountain Lion (10.8.2) the latest version of Sony Image Data Converter (Ver. 4.6) doesn't work anymore. How can I solve this problem?

HI,
I have seen this with AIM Logins that use the SSL Server and not the original server that was non SSL
Since iChat 6 the server name has also changed as has the Login port (Although we were suggesting using the port 443).
The AIM SSL server "Falls Over" more frequently than the other server.
Also iChat/Messages reconnects automatically to the NON SSL server but not to the SSL one (It is a security risk)
You had to manually Log out by Untick "Enable this Account" then Log back in again.
I have not seen this happen in Jabber accounts but I don't use my computer the same way you do.
Jabber Servers tend to either use SSL or Not and can rarely login if you change to not using SLL.
It also seems a bit strange that Disabling the account, as you phrase it, and re-enabling does not work.
For Googletalk Logins try logging out then changing the port to 443 (Googletalk allows this port as well as 5223)
Also check the Keychain (Applications/Utilities > Keychain Access) and see if there is an issue with any Gmail or Googletalk certificate.

How to deauthorize a computer , that doesn't exist anymore?

I unisnstalled windows , and for some reason when i inserted my ipod to the freshly installed windows+itunes , and logged on my account , iTunes said , that its a new computer and asked me to authorize it , and so i did.
My question is: how can i deauthorize my old version of windows , that doesn't exist anymore?
I also have another question in this topic : When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?

Take a look at this Apple support article; it may help:
One computer using multiple iTunes Store authorizations
When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?
I'm not sure what you mean by this. What "items"? If you are referring to music, videos or movies, you get only one download per purchase, so if you buy the items again, whether from another device or the same one, yes, you will be charged again. Only apps allow redownloading without additional charge.
Regards.

Last week, I had no problems streaming my MacBook Pro to my sony Bravia with a logix hdmi cable. I came back from holidays and now it doesn't work anymore. What settings should my computer be on and what settings should my tv be on?
