Mac Mini resets audio configuration on reboot - how can I stop this?
Hello all,
Specs up front : Mac mini 4,1 mid 2010 server model (running client OS not server) 8Gb RAM
I had a problem with one of the RAM slots a couple months back and had to take the computer in for repair at the Apple store where they replaced the logic board. Now every time I reboot the computer the audio out configuration switches to HF289H (which I assume is the speakers on my monitor, a Hanspree 28" that is connected via HDMI cable). Selecting the audio out options I notice that and "headphones" - choosing headphones will switch the sound output to the speakers connected.
However on every reboot it reverts. Is there some setting I can apply to make the computer "remember" how I want the output set?
Much thanks.
You don't tell us what Mac OS version you're running. I'll assume it's 10.7. Select Safari > Preferences > Privacy > "Remove all website data." Then quit Safari and relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. That will stop the page from reloading automatically.
Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I would like to transfer Aperture from my Mac Mini to my new MP. How can I do this?
Thanks, Sig. I think I should've been a little clearer. I've attempted to do the updates on my Mac, but I get a warning that it will erase everything except calenders, email, etc from the iPad. I've syned the iPad with the Mac with no problem, but get scary messages when I try to do the latest update.

would like to convert my LPs to digital on my new mac book pro with retinal display
. How can i do this?The new Mac's do not have analog audio in so you will have to go with a USB audio in device or else if you do not yet own a turntable (or are looking to upgrade) you could get a turntable that has USB out.
The Griffin Technology iMic USB Audio Device is a low cost consumer grade solution if you already have a turntable.
For recording I use Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder which does a good job and has the ability to run the audio signal through various filters. -
I have just had an iPod mini but my messages are coming through on my iPad and my iPhone how can I stop this happening ? Do I need to reset my iPad ?
To prevent messages from reaching both devices you can turn off Messages on the device you do not want to receive messages but keep Messages on on the device you do want to receive Messages.
You might also look at this option for both devices.
Settings > Messages > Send and Receive > review the a riotous choices for how you can e reached and select the ones that are most appropriate for you and the device you are setting. -
When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.
You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that flush the tab?
Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior. -

after updating my Macbook Pro retina display to os x yosemite 10.10.2, the mause and track pad locks, and do not respond especially when using the Mac for a long period, please help, how can I solve this, I do not like feel like in windows, so I paid good money for this mack, I feel calm
Hi Buterem,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

I purchased an I pad giving my macbook to my husband. His photo stream doesn't work but mine still goes onto macbook . How can I stop that ?
Another item to consider is do you and your husband have your own iTunes accounts? If so then log out of iTunes on your old Macbook and log back in with your husbands ID and password. If not this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8, ......

I cannot open any files transferred from my Windows PC to my Mac as I am "not authorized". How can I correct this?
Select the folderr containing all of those files, CMD+I, click on the lock, enter your admin password, add yourself with read & write, and click on the action button and select apply to enclosed items. That should do the trick. BTW, I don't have a PC, so i've not transfered any such files to my machine.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

I moved over to a new Apple Mac using a time machine back up. Since then when ever I use Firefox it stops and asks if it's ok to use a font located on an external hardrive. How can I stop this?
I tried reloading FF but had the same problem but maybe I need to completely eradicate any trace of FF first - is there a way of doing this.
I've already moved back to Safari but there are a couple of sites I have to use that don't work properly so I have to revert to FF -

My Apple id keeps getting reset. How can I stop this?
That's fine. I just didn't understand, but suspected that's what you meant.
You should contact Apple about this. Go to this website, find your country, and call Apple and ask to speak to Account Security about this.

My friend installed intunes and registered his ipod on my computer. Now I bought my own ipod and like to register mine also on my computer. How can I do this?
Simply hook it up to iTunes and register it the same way you did with your friends iPod. Nothing more than that. There is NO limit to the number of iPods, iPhones, or iPads you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.

A friend is complaining that every time I send him a text message to his iphone from my iphone it goes to his ipad. How can I stop this from occurring ?
If he has iMessage on his iPad set to receive at his iPhone's phone number, that is exactly what is supposed to happen. There's nothiing you can do - he needs to remove his iPhone number from his "you can be reached at" iMessage settings on his iPad.
