Lion internet sharing/ audio output not working even after reading through/ following other threads

Hi, since updatig to Lion my iMac internet sharing is not working i have renamed to a shorter name as advised in other threads but this still does't work I wish to share my ethernet connection wirelessly but after turning it on i can never get the arrow symbol on the top bar. Also i can only play audio through the built in speakers but no headphones/external speakers even after playing with the audio midi settings as seen in other posts but no such luck.

First, see if you can change the "Play audio using:" selection in Edit > Preferences > Playback - if you select Direct Audio rather than Windows Audio Session this may address the issue.  Note, however, that the Direct Audio option seems to be unavailable in some cases for Windows 8.1.
Otherwise, there is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer).  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
After installing this alternative version it may still be necessary to adjust the "Play audio using:" selection in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio.

    Uninstall the social app and reboot your phone. Then go to software updates and reinstall from the offering given in the updates. I've uninstalled and reinstalled social twice and it has worked both times.

    How does a usb keyboard attached externally work?
    You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too.

  • Webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software

    My webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software.
    My questions are follows:
    Should I bring it to repair or get a external webcam?
    At approximately how much would be cost for repair?
    Which webcam I should get?
    Thank you very much!

    Update, I fixed it although it feels more like a workaround. I had to enable the extension in extension manager. That still left a blank panel, but once I closed and reopened the panel I was prompted to login. Seems that closing and reopening the panel is the fix once it is enabled.

  • All iPad buttons are not working even after resetting it (hard, soft and via iTunes).

    All iPad 2 buttons are not working even after I resetting it. I tried both of the hard and soft reset, and even resetting my iPad via iTunes. 
    The volume buttons work after I tried this method : "hold iPad in landscape mode. Push the home button while rotating it to Portrait mode, release it."

    I have the same issue, nothing I did fixed the problem, I would suggest if you can visit apple store and give us your feedback with them.
    for me I can't go to apple store because I don't have any store near me, I will have to wait for 2 months to travel!

  • Window 10 upgrade. Graphics driver not working even after re-install

    Notebook pavilion DV6 3280.  Just upgraded to Windows 10 and AMD graphics driver not working even after re-install.  What do I do?  Is there another driver not on the HP Website that I should try?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Touchpad does not work even after format - x220t

    Hi there,
    I've had my X220 tablet for about 10 months and it has been great.  For the last month however, the touchpad and touchpoint have become flaky.  When rebooted or coming out of standby, the touchpoint/touchpad often did not work; after resetting a few times, i would work, but then stop working again when the system when into standby mode.
    I thought this was a driver issue, but uninstalling and reinstalling to the newest drivers did nothing.  I have also updated/reset the BIOS.
    I have more recently have not been able to get the touchpad working at all now and relying on just the touchscreen for input is very frustrating. 
    When Windows 8 CP came out this week, I decided to give the computer a fresh format and reinstall Windows --- maybe that would resolve the issue. No luck.  The touchpoint/touchpad did not work even in Windows 8.
    I read around a bit and have tried disabling JUST the touchpad in the BIOS, and amazingly, the touchpoint will work fine when I do that.  When I disable just the touchpoint or leaving both enabled, neither the touchpad or touchpoint will work.
    As far as I can tell from what I have been able to diagnose, the touchpad is damaged and is causing a conflict with the touchpoint when enabled.  I am not sure of this, but it is my belief now.
    Are there solutions out there for me?  I do have 2 months left on my warranty, but I hope to keep mailing my notebook in for support as a last resort.
    thank you,
    steve

    If you are ready to reinstall Windows, try this method:

    If after that your trackpoint/touchpad still don't work, I think one of them (or both) is defective.

  • MacBook Keys not working even after KeyBoard Firmware update

    My friend's sister bought me a MacBook from the US last October. Fortunately, Apple announced the release of Leopard also on the same month and I got a free upgrade to leopard. I installed leopard about 3 months back. My keyboard was working fine when I had Tiger installed. After I installed Leopard, I remember installing a Keyboard firmware update once through the Software Update.
    About two three weeks back, my MacBook started acting wierd. Some keys were not working (mostly 't', 'q', left shift, left command, zero which is not working even now. I couldn't close the last bracket because the key is not working. I am a php programmer and I can't think of living without the closing bracket and zero keys . But most of the keys works on and off.
    After seeing on several sites that it is a problem with firmware, I once again downloaded the firware update, but couldn't install it since the installation wizard says that my system doesn't need it.
    Can someone plz tell me what to do now? Will reinstalling help?
    Thanks in advance.

    The problem persists everytime I restart my system or wake it up from sleep. But each time different keys have problem. I am now downloading update 10.5.4. Can someone plz help me?

  • Accidentally deleted x protect meta.plist and plug in not working even after downloading latest

    Hi all
    Need some help here. It started off like this - after upgrading to mavericks, i had a problem viewing some java stuff. Googled and read somewhere to delete the x protect meta.plist and thus, did so. After doing that, my youtube videos etc all couldnt work. So googled again and did whatever the rest suggested - download latest version of Java, uninstall java and reinstall again, install other versions of java etc etc. all didnt worked.
    Someone just pointed out that I had deleted a very critical security file (x protect meta.plist) and might have more problems that I thought on my hand.
    Im not very technical or IT saavy, so please kindly advise. Most of the problems surfaced after deleting that file. And right now, plug in for videos are still not working even though I have attempted various 'solutions' suggested in this forum (the not too technical ones) and java is still cranky. Pls advise. thanks!

    Anyone able to help?
    1) How did u solve the missing/out of date plugin?
    - Have tried installing numberous times the latest version - doesnt work
    - Tried uninstalling and then reinstalled earlier versions of java - doesnt work too
    read somewhere to delete the xprotect meta plist - realised much later that piece of advice was for snow leopard OS and thus, did not work too. A forummer told me today this file is a critical security file and i should not have deleted it. WHat can I do now?
    current situation:
    still cant play youtube videos and other videos.
    java on some sites still cant work

  • Internet sharing is slow / not working at all

    Hello everybody and everyone.
    Something strage has happend with my Internet Sharing.. I discovered it for me since a week. So, I made the whole thing in the Preferences bla-bla-bla.. A week or even more it was working. (I'm using my iPod with the Wi-fi from my iMac. And iMac becomes it from Ethernet) So, it worked perfectly.. But now my iPad see it, use it, but if I want to look a movie or something like that (it worked, actually) he just stops. Internet surfing is every time like "10min pause, then JUMP...another 10 min pause".
    Internet on my iMac still be perfect. So thats not a problem. When I click on my sharing WiFi, it shows me something like "The connection with "(null)" is failed. By the connection the timeout is occurred" (sorry for my english, actually I use a German language on my Mac, so if somebody knows it: "Die Verbindung mit „(null)“ ist fehlgeschlagen. Bei der Verbindung ist eine Zeitüberschreitung aufgetreten.")
    I tried to change passwords / chanells / name, but nothing help. It gives some "push" for 5 seconds of internet-happiness and then starts this crap again.
    To make a long story short: I'm sharing wifi from my iMac, iPod catches it, but when I open a web-site, he can use wifi anymore.
    Thanks for help, sorry if it was too long

    Mark, this is not the same as Robert Cole's problem. He's talking about Internet sharing -- sharing his Mac's connection to the Internet with other computers. You're talking about Web sharing -- sharing files on your Mac with others via the Web.
    Robert, I haven't had success with this yet, either -- but I've only tried it once, and didn't have the opportunity to fiddle. I would try -- in order --
    turning off the FireWall on the G5;
    going into Network Preferences > Airport > TCP/IP on the iBook, and listing your G5's Airport IP-address as the default router. While you're there, make sure your iBook has an Airport IP-address that's different than the G5's, but on the same subnet (differing only in the last number).
    If #2 works, you can probably turn the firewall on your G5 back on.
    Post back & let me know how it goes!
