Missing Sound!!! (please help)

I am new to mac but I love it... and never want to go back to that other company...
I started using Imovie had no problems. But, today i created a new project recorded with the built in camera. When i went to play it back there was no sound in Imovie nor was there sound when I exported the file. I tried messing with settings and re-recording little clips to see if I had fixed it. I believe I adjusted all of the audio options. But, for the I-life of me I cannot make Imovie play or record sound.
I made sure the computers audio was on.
I checked the mute/unmute button
adjusted clip volume.
clicked/unclicked skim audio
quit and restarted Imovie.
logged out and back in after quitting Imovie.
Searched google for solutions!!!
And looked through all of the drop downs to see if there were any options or settings that might make it work.
But alas, this was to no resolve. So, I decided hit up the forums for the first time.. figuring that I would need to eventually!
Any tips or ideas would be VERY greatly appreciated from this mac noob!

Hey... I solved this on my own!
Here is what I did... Probably very self explanatory for more advanced mac users.. but might help newer users...
I clicked on the apple icon on the options bar at the top of the screen then clicked system preferences. I then clicked sound and realized that (though I did not have it plugged in) mac was trying to record from my mic that i use for sining in garage band. I changed it from "line-in" to "builtin-microphone". problem solved! sadly i have no sound for an awesome video that I already completed

First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.

Is the volume muted? Click on the volume icon in the system tray to see if it shows as muted. If that's the case, I know of a workaround to fix this because if you unmute the speakers now, the condition will come back when you reboot your computer. I don't know the exact steps off the top of my head at the moment as I'm not in front of my machine. Check this first and reply if muting was the problem and I will detail the steps needed to fix the problem.

Indesign missing fonts, please help!

Hi!
i
I just switched from windows 8 to a mac mini. I had indesign CC trial on the PC and now that I switched to a mac fonts are missing n my document. Both versions of indesign were up to date. How do I get my fonts back please help. The font I really need is called "Onyx"
I dont know why the fonts were working on the PC using the same indesign trial but on the Mac i download the indesign trial the font is missing. Please help!!!!!!

On behalf of Adobe ...
Onyx is not a font provided by Adobe with InDesign or any of the Creative Suite or Creative Cloud offerings. It is installed on your Windows system when you install Microsoft Office.
Likewise, if you have licensed and Installed Microsoft Office on your Macintosh, Onyx is installed on your system.
If you have not licensed and installed Microsoft Office on your Macintosh, you can license the font at http://www.fonts.com/family/248141/onyx.

HT4059 I can't open my books with the update, says failed to load book because the requested resources is missing. Please HELP.

I can't open my books with the update, says failed to load book because the requested resources is missing. Please HELP.

If you can't open a particular ibook then try deleting it from the bookshelf via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf, and (assuming that it's still in your country's store) redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app (or if you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library sync it back from there).

FLASH PLAYER MISSING PLUGIN PLEASE HELP!!

Since the Last Safari Update,I've been constantly getting a missing plugin message whenever FlashPlayer was required.
I have tried uninstaling/installing FlashPlayer from the adobe website. But still always asked to download the latest version.And later did disk permission repair/check, nothing worked. I even disabled som of the plugins i had read in the discussion that might cause some problems such as the java cocoa plugin, but flash player's plugin is still missing.
PLEASE HELP!

Latest version of Flash is 10.3.181.26
It installs in Macintosh HD/Library/Internet plug-ins and is available to all browsers.
Make sure you're getting the right one; there is one for Firefox, Safari and Opera and a seperate one for Chrome.
Best to install with all browsers closed (note - you have to open and authorise the installer - it doesn't install automatically on download).
If a browser's open, quit and reopen it to enable the plug-in.
Be wary of error messages claiming you don't have the right plug-in. Don't follow links from them, they're often used to redirect you to malware sites.
And ensure JavaScript is enabled when trying to view Flash; it won't work without it.

Hi,
I have put some movies onto itunes on Mac (os x) and can play them fine through itunes.
When i play it through apple tv the picture is there and some of the sound. The actors/actresses voices only come through very quietly and can't hear it.
I have tried everything i have read on these boards including restarting and changing settings! its driving me crazy!!
PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks in advance!!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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. See:
iOS: How to back up

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

WEIRD SOUND PLEASE HELP

my mac pro is making a cough-like sound at random times. i think it might be a notification sound but i can't seem to figure out what it is, and it's starting to get really annoying. ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE? PLEASE HELP!

You computer model number or year? Version of OS X you're running? You said in the original post that these sounds are at random times, so I'll assume this isn't due to some sound effect setting in System Preferences. Open up the Console (in Launchpad > Utilities assuming you're running Lion) and select All Messages. If there is a common entry that appears in Console at the same time these noises are produced, report back what it is and someone may be able to help you. If not, I'm mystified - hardware problem?

I don't have sound, please, help me !!

I don't have sound , please i need help !! Thank you very much

There are a few things you can try.
1) try another outlet in another room (different circuit group) to see if the sound is still present.
2) If you are using a power protection device between your PC and the outlet and it is old replace it with a new one.
Even replacing the motherboard generally won't cure this issue as it isquite likely to be related to a problem in the (earthing) grounding and wiring in your home.
please post your results her in our tread.

erico

Profile missing error, PLEASE HELP!

I have read and tried all of the different options within the forum and nothing is working! Its so frustrating! A while back i randomly had the first profile missing error and to fix it i simply reinstalled firefox, when that didnt work I went through and completely deleted anything that had firefox or mozilla in all my libraries figuring i could then just reinstall a complete fresh install. But i was way wrong and that definitely didnt help. Ive now tried all of the different methods on this site to fix the profile missing error and it isnt working, which i think is because when it says to go to ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles folder it is completely empty and there is not a profile to be found. So i am unable to start firefox at all so i cant make a new profile that way, or any other method at all! Please please help! Im running OSX yosemite 10.10.3, any help would be greatly appreciated!!

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-run-firefox-when-your-profile-missing-or-inacc
This is usually caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
*Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\<br>C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
*Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
You can use one of these to make Firefox create a new default profile or reuse an existing profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile<br />Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

Missing organs - please help.

I'm experiencing odd behavior with Logic Express and the organ set (specifically) what I believe is the tonewheel organ set).
I have been using the organ set (selected from the I/O/Garageband/Tonewheel Organ in the inspector) and have also saved a few of my adjustments to a channel strip setting.
Anyhow, I opened a project and created a new software instrument track. Selected the organ I wanted, but the sound will not play.I am recording midi from my keyboard as I'm getting a Region with notes played. I can also switch to another instrument and it's working and plays my entered data.
I also tried opening my saved channel strip organ and nothing. I opened up Garageband and it's the same thing... everything works except no organ.
Here's the weirdest part... I opened up some old projects with organ tracks. The organ tracks play with the correct sound. But if I Record Enable and try to play some notes... same thing.
So my organ file is obviously having some sort of issue. No error messages, although I was fiddling around for a while and did get one -41.
Please help, 'cause I have a limited knowledge where all these files are stored.Thanks for any help you can give me

Oh god, now do I feel stupid. I have one of those M-Audio Keystations. It only has an "advanced" function" button, and then you actually hit the keys to change settings.
Anyhow, I think the cat may have stepped on the right combo and screwed up my send settings. I just unplugged and replugged.
Here I am reinstalling Logic and eliminating preferences...
Thanks

Your earlier phone must have been originally intended for sale in another country and must have been purchased from somewhere other than an authorized Apple retailer. Phones that are intended to be sold in the UAE have FaceTime permanently disabled. The option is not there and cannot be made to work.
