Issue with sound on all media with OS 2.1

Got the new update, everything installed perfectly. Now when I go to play any type of media (Music, Video), I select the song/video and it skips and starts screeching at me.
Any ideas?
Solved!

Same here, BUT, I now find that, if I use the mute button, the sound does not come back until I reboot

Unique Issue... All Media on Newly Striped Drive, EZ way to reconnect??

I had my XSERVE RAID striped the wrong way, by so called professionals. So I went ahead and got the restriped as RAID 50's. Now that all the content is on one drive instead of 2, I was wondering if there is a quick and painless way of reconnecting all my media files? when I bring up my most recent file there are 8000 missing elements, that's just a pain to deal with. What's the easiest solution to this process, or am I going to have to attempt reconnecting each grouping of files?
Thanks in advance.

Ok so for this job, we were working with all different files from 3D, After Effects to Photoshop and Illustrator files. Should we throw all of those files into the same area as the capture scratch area, or how would one organize that same situation.
On a side note, we had everything pretty organized, we put Maya in a Maya folder, After Effects in an AE folder, and then all the captured Media was on the Scratch drive, but that's where the problem began. Because I had my raid seperated into Two drives a Raid 5 on one side and a Raid 0 on the other, I didn't want to throw important information on the Raid 0 so I put the Captured media onto that drive, because I could recapture the media. Well now that I have reformatted my drives to a Raid 50 it doesn't recognize the hierarchy of the media.
So I guess the simple question is: Now that I have my original two drives, one named RAID the other named SCRATCH in one Drive at this point named XRAID is there a simple way to have FCP 5.04 quickly catch that everything has moved into this one big new folder XRAID and with every project, see this and find all the material it needs to, since they were serperated into different folders as a means of protecting valuable information? Thanks Again

Hi All. My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.

Hi All,
I tried to search through the community, but with the sheer volume of posts, I didn't find anything that seemed like the same issue.
My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.
I haven't tried wired ear phones, but I am sure they'll be the same way.
It's very random, but consistent enough to happen several times per day.
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
I have restarted it and also did a Hard Reboot and it didn't help.
Thanks Again,
Scott P.

Well there you go, when you advertise it just be sure to say that you can't even see the scratches at half brightness and see how it goes.
Of course you are saying you want $500 for one with many scratches on the screen, has been dropped, but the scratches aren't visible at half brightness, and has no warranty. Or I can buy a refurbished iPad 4 WiFi 32 GB directly from Apple with no scratches and a one year warranty for $499. http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD514LL/A/refurbished-ipad-with-retina-display -wi-fi-32gb-white-4th-generation
Why would I buy yours?
I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used model with your specs in perfect condition. But yours is far from perfect. I think your high point is $250 which is why I said 50%.

My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. Any tips?

My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. I tried restarting it a few times, nothing worked. I looked up many tutorials, and still nothing did the trick. Any tips?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

Issues with iTunes Media Folder resetting to default location

This is my 1st post to the Apple Support Community (the problem I have is with iTunes, but I believe it also has to do with the way OS X Lion is setup and the way Networked Drives are mounted in it) ...so I hope I've posted this to the correct place. Thank you in advance for any help I'm going to get here. I have no expirience with Mac OS X's (coming from a Windows background) so please bear with me, but I am a S/W Tester by trade so I'd like to think I'm resonably IT literate.
ISSUE:
I have a problem with iTunes and my Media Folder resetting constantly - my Setup is a MacBook Air, with an Apple Time Capsule 2TB which is providing my Wifi Network.
I want to setup iTunes so that it will permenatly point to my Data Folder on the Apple Time Capsule, so that when I download purchases, synch iPhones, or rip Music it will end up on the Apple Time Capsule and not on the MacBook Air's SDD Drive
I though I had managed to do this, but after I shut down the MacBook Air, and then logged back in to rip some music, iTunes had repointed to the MacBook Air's SDD, and all the CD's i ripped were saved there instead of the Apple Time Capsule. So far I have done the following;
STEPS CARRIED OUT SO FAR:
1) Connected the MacBook Air to the Wifi Network provided by the Apple Time Capsule - I can see the Time Capsule in the Finder app.
2) Gone to GO MENU > LOCATE SERVERS and selected the top level DATA FOLDER on the Apple Time Capsule....I believe that I've managed to create an ALIAS (Shortcut?) that points to this, and it's on my Desktop.
3) Next I went to SETTINGS > USERS > and made sure that ALIAS (Shorcut?) to the DATA FOLDER on the Apple Time Capsule is always loaded up on startup for my UserID
4) Next, I found my iTunes folder, and MOVED it from the MacBook Air SDD to the Apple Time Capsule's HDD over the Wifi Network.
5) I then went to ITUNES PREFERENCES and changed the MEDIA FOLDER it pointed to, from the MacBook Air's SDD to the one on the Apple Time Capsule.
6) Then I logged out and shut down the MacBook Air.
7) I powered on the Macbook Air, and logged in, then ripped some music - I then found that iTunes had created a new iTunes Folder for my User on the MacBooks SDD and all the CD's I ripped had been saved there. Also under the ITUNES PREFERENCES menu, it looks like iTunes had reset the location of the MEDIA FOLDER...
I don't know if this is an issue with iTunes or not - I'm assuming it's a setup issue on my part, and that maybe I haven't created a permenant link to the Apple Time Capsule as I thought I had. If it helps I was attempting to do something similar to whats described in this YouTube video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA399lEXRTE
Thanks again for any help

if you really moved your entire iTunes folder, the next step needs to be launching iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, clicking on choose library at the prompt, and selecting the iTunes folder you moved to the TC.
as for auto-mounting the TC's disk on startup, you might find this discussion interesting.

Best Buy DOES need to address all the negative issues with Citibank!

Hi, I've read all the negative posts about Citibank.
I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for quite some time and have purchased products from washing machines to electric guitars.
I have my own story:
I've had nothing but issues with them since Best Buy went to them. The last 5 bills I've received have been all messed up. Each time it's been for at least 2 hours. I never had problems until the switch to Citibank.
I have several deferred interest purchases. I've taken each of those, divided them by the number of months the contract is for, thus determining how much to pay each month to pay them off by the expiration date. Citibank has screwed them up every month. Distributing them differently than I had requested. One time in "fixing" their mistake, they "mistakenly" added an additional charge of $130 to my account! In reversing that they screwed up other distributions. That's why I've been on the phone with them so long each time. Some of them they still haven't fixed.
One six month account isn't due to expire until 9/16/2014, but the way they are applying the distributions it will be paid off 6/15/2014. A full 3 months before it is due. It obviously saves them having that receivable for 3 months.
Most of the customer Service reps have tried to be helpful but some of the time it is them that do the screw-ups. When I ask to speak to a Supervisor they are usually not helpful or rude. I was talking to one and he wasn't answering my questions, I challenged him and found out he wasn't even listening! Sometimes they say "it was a change that didn't get into the computer right". I've spent my entire career in the computer industry (Retail chains, Discount Chains, Accounts Receivables, and Bank Systems) You NEVER release a change until it has been completely tested. Apparently they have someone totally incompetent that department.
They apparently started a new policy 2 months ago that applied your minimum payment to the your revolving balance (non-promotional) first, if you only had Promotional balances it was applied to the one that would expire first. Again, it's a way for the bank to relieve Receivables earlier than they should. To their benefit.
I don't understand why so many of the Moderators and other responders have to be so rude and condescending to the people in this forum. All we hear is this Mantra that Best Buy has nothing to do with the credit card. Yet, the Logo on the statement says "MY BEST BUY CREDIT CARD". When you pay by mail the payment stub "Make checks payable to "BEST BUY CREDIT SERVICES". When you call they answer "BEST BUY CREDIT SERVICES". And you wonder why people think Best Buy owns the credit cards?
You are correct that Citibank owns the credit cards and processes them. But some Executive at Best Buy initiated having Citibank do this. You talk about it's just a marketing thing to have Best Buy's name on everything. Well I'll tell you. with all the complaints I've read here and horror stories that I have personally heard from customers, it is a very NEGATIVE marketing thing.

Again, it's a way for the bank to relieve Receivables earlier than they should. To their benefit.
I also noticed that one of the Moderators posted a response to several complaints about no more 18 month deferred purchases that it was Citibank that discontinued them. It seems to be a very popular "marketing thing" for Best Buy also. Why keep a bank that dictates "marketing things" to your company?
Have any of these many complaints been brought to the attention of Best Buy Management? Do they even know about them? If they have, then I would think they would be concerned enough to re-think their decision on a Bank Card Processor.
Many have said they will quit buying from Best Buy. I will not. I like the stores, their merchandise and staff. But I have serious concern that if this problem is not addressed thier may nit be a Best Buy to shop at in the future.
For that reason I am sending a letter to the CEO and CFO regarding this.
I would suggest each person that has complained dothe same. Since the Moderators blocked out the executive's names on one of the posts, you can go to Best Buy.com main page at thew bottom under "Corporate Info/About Best Buy/About Best Buy (yellow Tab)/Executive Team and you will find their names. The Corporate address is one one of the posts in here. The one the they deleted the names from. Maybe all of our voices will be heard.
P.S. - Check back to see if I'm blocked or this post is closed or deleted. If so, another thing to comment to the Executives about...
Best Regards Everybody!

Hello GJT,
Welcome to the forum, and thank you for being a loyal Best Buy customer! I'm very sorry to read of all the troubles you've been having with your My Best Buy credit card account.
If you made a purchase using one of our interest free financing offers, to avoid paying the interest, you would need to ensure you were making the minimum monthly payments and paid the full balance by the end of the financing term. For future reference, the promotion expiration will not be the same as the payment due date. The expiration is determined from the date of the purchase. This date would have been clearly marked on each of your billing statements.
If you did make other purchases during the financing period, the payments would have been applied to the account according to the credit card laws as the others have mentioned. It is my understanding that any payments made to the account would first be applied to all minimum payments due for purchases on the account. Next, it would be applied to purchases that have interest charges due. Lastly, if funds remain from the payment, they will be applied to purchases with the financing promotions, in the order they are set to expire.
As you may be aware, Citibank, N.A. is the issuer of your My Best Buy credit card account. Due to this, we have no influence, or access to their accounts or policies. It is however, my goal to assist our valued customers as best as I can; therefore, I will be reaching out to Citibank on your behalf to look into your concerns. and they should be reaching out to you directly within the next 3-5 business days to discuss this further. If you do not hear from them within this timeframe please let me know.
Thank you for posting your feedback here on the forum, and please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Maria|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Since I can not log in bug report page, not even getting an error message, I'll write all my issues with ios8 here...

Since I can not log in bug report page, not even getting an error message, I'll write all my issues with ios8 here... I have an iphone 4S and I did the last update. Now I am in trouble.
1. When I move the "sound on/off" button, I get it buzzing 10 times before the setting is changed and I can do anything else, just not reacting to the round button on screen touches.
2. Impossible to copy text from most websites into notes.
3. Impossible to delete an email account in settings.
4. Uses up the battery twice as fast as before. I have "update apps" setting turned off, just reading a couple of mails, making a couple of photos and open maps apps twice a day, and the battery is dead well before the evening.
5. Got extremely slow, and it was getting slower and slower with every system update.
I'm sure I forgot something... But well, that already a lot.

Well, actually number 3 in my list is not true any more, I just tried to delete my account 15 times, then I've written my post, then half an hour later my Settings finally updated my accounts list. Whohoo
I did not try restoring it yet, thank you for the link!

Wierd issue with Sound Blaster Z and Windows 8.1

I have just started having an issue with my sound card. For the past year it has been working perfectly fine with no issues. There have been no recent changes to the computer, but within the past week, if I am in the middle of a game or listening to music, the computer will once a day lock up, I then have to restart the computer. After it restarts, the right speakers, and only the right will not work, Center, Subwoofer, and Left side speakers work 5.0. I then go the Sound Blaster Z-series control panel and re-enable the surround sound. At this point the Center and Subwoofer cease to work, but the right side works perfectly fine. After a couple of resets the center and subwoofer still do not work. I then have to go to the back of the computer and change the cable for the center / subwoofer from left most to the second left most (as looking at the back of computer from the top side). It will work fine this way with all speakers working, for roughly a day then it will lock up again. I have to go through the same process, but move the cable from the second left most to the left most output for it to work again. I tried for the past two days to troubleshoot by removing all the software and creative drivers. Same issue after reinstalling with a fresh driver set. Any help, because this is completely annoying.

Considering that there is already a ca0132 driver for linux, which was made to support chromebook pixel laptop. It should not be hard for creative to make that driver compatible with discrete cards and motherboards that make use of that chip. But Creative seriously dropped the ball on users and does not care about them. I do not understand this, because all previous creative cards are supported in linux. Steam OS and steam boxes are around the corner and Creative is missing a big opportunity.

Earpieace / Sound Issues with Droid Razr M

Having issues with my phone, bought new in September 2012, since yesterday morning.
When I make a call using the earpiece, I cannot hear it ringing (like dialing out to them) and after they answer, I cannot hear the person on the other end when they speak. If I put it on speakerphone, they can hear me just fine and I can hear them. Also on speakerphone, I can hear it ringing (dialing out). When receiving a call, my ringtone audibly works, but then the same situation applies once I answer it - I cannot hear they, but they can hear me. Again, if I put it on speakerphone, both parties can hear each other. My alarm / ringtone works just fine, as well as all my other ringtone / notifications - such as text, etc. But, if I try to play a YouTube video, play music through Pandora, or play another audio / video file with sound, it does not produce any sound, even through headphones attached to the jack. It also plays sound when starting up - the "Droid".
Seems like a phone issue considering it is working for some things, but not for others. I have gone through and checked all settings, tried it in safe mode, did reboots, etc, but all to no avail. Anyone have any other troubleshooting suggestions, or are having the same problem? It seems I have going to have to have it replaced - hoping this would be a manufacturers defect replacement though and not something that I should have to use my insurance on!
Thanks!

Issue with Pro Res sources when encoding in Media Encoder.

There seems to be a big issue with Pro Res sources in Media Encoder. I've noticed that when exporting using the 'software only' mode my graphics and titles look horrible, they are pixelated around the edges and the compression looks bad. This issue only happens when it's being made from a Pro Res source, if I make the exact same file Uncompressed this issue is resolved. If I use the 'Cuda' option (which I already know is the better option) this issue is resolved. The thing is, in a work environment not all of our systems are Cuda enabled and I would like to use Media Encoder as a exporting option overall. I love Media Encoder, it's fast and easy to use but this Pro Res issue is huge because the majority of the time we are working in Pro Res. I also did a test out of Avid Media Composer to Media Encoder, I sent a reference file referencing the Avid MXF material and the issue is gone, this seems to my knowledge to be a Pro Res only issue. The settings I am exporting to is 960 x 540 h.264 and also .mp4. This is coming from a 1080p source and yes I do have the 'maximum render quality' checked for best scaling. I understand that Software only vs Cuda and Open CL use different algorithms when scaling but this seems crazy to me that it would look this much worse.
Anyways if somebody can please look into this that would be great, this seems to be an issue where I can't continue at this moment to use Media Encoder. Making my source files Uncompressed every time to do an export is just not a real workflow I want to do.
On a side note I've also recently noticed on a clip that had text over a grey background that there are lines going all down the screen evenly when exporting to even a non scaled 1080p .mp4. Once again, this issue goes away with any format but Pro Res. The weird part is this happens even with Cuda enabled. This is why I am thinking Media Encoder is having some sort of issue with the Pro Res codec.
I am on a current new 27'' fully loaded iMac with the latest Adobe CC updates.
Has anyone else experienced this?
thank you

No, it is why advance users do not use the wizard.
Have a look at OpenOffice.org and its form creation. Once you add your fields in OpenOffice.org, just export to PDF and the form fields will be named just like you named in them in OpenOffice.org and the drop down values carry over.

Having major issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) - exporting with weird image flickering/colour anomalies, crashing regularly, freezing during encode...!

Hi Guys
I am having some real issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) at the moment. It appears that I am unable to encode an h.264 for Vimeo from a Premiere Pro Project file at the moment without at least some weird image issues that are not supposed to be there. These include weird flickering, colour changes, artefacts etc. This is if I am lucky...often I am unable to get the process to complete as the application either crashes and tells me there has been a problem or it simply freezes and I have to force quit the application and often restart my machine.
The problem seems to not to just be with h.264 for the web encodes but also with BluRay h.264 as well. As yet I haven't seen if there is a problem with MPEG-2 for DVD so I will check this out too!
Does anyone else see this happening or does anyone know what might be the problem?
I thought the Premiere Pro project might have been corrupt so tried a different project but the same issues were happening here too.
Any help would be really gratefully received.
Cheers
EDIT - I have just found this online which is exactly the problem I am having! Thanks a bloody bunch Apple! 10.9.3 causing headaches for Mac Pro users | MacIssues
Message was edited by: Alex Cameron

Agreed, I now have a project to GET OUT, and AME crashes consistently 1/3 into the render. It appears to halt all processing after (real time) 00:02:30
Am seriously considering uninstalling CC as I am beginning to find other issues in some apps, and going back to CS6/MC just so I can get work out. Durn it Adobe this is AWFUL!!
Alright, let's try to be constructive instead of throwing rocks... but the frustration level is high, and I have material on deadline. Let's get with this, guys...
What OS Win7, 64-bit
What version of AME/PPro (Please be specific by getting the full version number in the About Adobe Media Encoder screen) 8.2.0.54 Ppro: 8.2.0 (65)
When is it crashing (Again, the more detail here about where it was in the encoding process the better) roughly 1/3 into the sequence, always on exactly the same frame - tried replacing the clip with something different to see if it was a timeline error, and NO EFFECT.
What is your source (PPro project or media file (what kind?)) PPro
If the source if a PPro project, does it work when exporting directly from PPro? NO
What format are you exporting to? H.264, QT, WM, tried everything my client can play.
Do other formats work? MPEG2, QuickTime, etc? NO
Have you tried with GPU rendering on? How about turning it off by switching to Software-only mode? Mine doesn't have any choice, it's software-only.
Have you tried disabling Native Sequence Loading? (AME Preferences: General > Enable Native Sequence Loading) No effect
Other things I tried: uninstalling/reinstalling AME, setting cache to a fast local disk.

Issues with External Sound Devices & others - 13" Late 2011

Good day community,
Out of curiosity, I run Diablo 3 on OS X and its been unplayable since ROS expansion, massive fps drops and crashes, Blizzard claims Apple stopped improving hd3000 drivers on 10.8.3, is this true? Also when I run the game through windows via bootcamp it performs better and doesn't not crash, is this related to hd3000 driver support still being improved in windows?
Other issues I'm experiencing, facetime most of the time fails if I try to pickup a call from the macbook, sometimes it notifies me of the incoming call (iphone 5s) sometimes it doesn't. Bluetooth doesn't work, not even with apple devices, I can't pair any of them. External sound devices such as m-audio fast track pro, native instruments audio 8 dj, allen & heath xone 4d, they all have latency issues and sound clips and pops, even with the onboard sound I experience this if I open a couple graphic editing software while playing itunes. Checked sample rate in audio/midi setup, drivers, firmware, everything seems up to date, I'm not using a USB hub, I updated to Yosemite from Mavericks, which was a terrible upgrade from Mountain Lion and it completely lagged the computer, so when I upgraded to Yosemite I ran disk utility from boot and apparently repaired the hard drive successfully. Performance is better but none of the above issues were solved.
So I'm thinking about formatting from scratch but wanted to drop a line here and see if others have any of these issues and/or some tips.
Thank you for your time.

Major Issues with Windows XP and Sound Blaster Audig

As mentioned in the post title, I'm using a Sound Blaster Audigy 4 card (recently purchased) and am having issues with Windows XP apparently because of it. When the card is physically installed, but the drivers are not, there are no problems. However, when the drivers are installed, Windows XP's "explorer.exe" crashes on boot, locking up the start menu and any other open windows. Now, I can manually end the explorer.exe application and then reboot it, and things will work... however, I cannot imagine that that is the intended functionality of this card. Additionally, I suspect the card in the failure of a game (Eve Online) but I would assume the issues are related. I've already narrowed the issue down to the Sound Blaster drivers. I've tried booting with the SB drivers but without the video card drivers, and the problem recurred. Every time I boot with the SB drivers installed, it fails. Without them, things seem to run normally. If it helps, I'm using an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 processor, with GB of DDR800 RAM. I've installed Windows Service Pack 2 and all the other updates. The video card is a Geforce 7950 GT, with the latest NVidia Forceware (93.7) drivers. I've had this problem with both the Audigy drivers on the CD that came with the card and the newest ones downloaded from this website. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, which includes onboard sound hardware, but I have disabled it at the BIOS level. I can provide dxdiag information or anything like that if necessary. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions, or have you encountered a similar problem?Message Edited by DerekKatz on 2-04-200603:2 AM

Thanks for the helpful reply Dan
I ran the file, CTZAPXX.exe, like suggested, and it ran without a problem. It installed the files and even required me to reboot my computer!!
However, after a computer restart, I am still in the same boat. Codecs are installed, but the location of the device is "unknown". In Device manager, there are no unknown devices; it shows the codecs in the sound tab, but no actual hardware; as if my sound card does not exist.
I use my computer for music, and my buddy needs me tomorrow night to play some music stored on my computer. I really do appreciate the help I am offered. I do not mean to sound impatient, but I really need this device fixed, or I will have to have him buy me a sound card....

Issues with loud sound settings over headphones.

My Ipad 2 has been having some issues with the sound settings when I put the volume up loud. When I go past a certain level there is a "popping" sound and the volume cuts out all together. If I reduce the volume this popping sound happens again and the volume comes back on.
This only happens through the headphones, and doesn't happen with the external speaker.
Have I stuffed up one of the settings? Is this an OS update issue or do I need to replace the headphone jack?
I have reset all the settings, but haven't done a complete restore yet.
Thanks
