My speakers are crackling all of a sudden

Have an iMac 24 inch, the sound quality was amazing but came back from a 2 week break to find my speakers crackling when trying to play music, please help as this is my first problem in 2 years...

Report your problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. As Terence said it appears to be a Kodak/10.6.4 issue and the more reports Apple receives the better. It will push the problem up the priority list.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

My Com Pres CQ62 laptop speakers are crackling diag. say nothing is wrong? Running Win 7 64-bit

I have a Compaq Presario CQ62 Laptop that until just recently was working fine. I am running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium & have Nortons Antivirus installed. Now the internal speakers are crackling/cutting out....but not all the time. When I run diagnostics on the computer it tells me everything is in working order. Is there anything else I need or should be doing so that I can fix this. Please advise.
Thank you

Hello San123,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I will definitely assist you with the computer's issue regarding lack of sound from the speakers. Before anything else is done, please make sure you try every step in this thread: Troubleshooting Guide: Audio does not Work after a Certain Period of Time
If every step does not help, please provide the following information:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?
4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
5. What steps have been attempted from my first post on this thread, and what were the results?
Additionally, if the issue just began occurring, I would perform a system restore. I want you to bring the computer back to the earliest restore point possible, in an attempt to dodge whatever caused the issue. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore
Either way, let me know what happens. Thanks!

In fCP x jpgs are blurry all of a sudden

no matter what size jpg or tiff
when i move the sequence the photo turns blurry
when i stop the movie the photo is sharp
e.g a jpg 1043 x 694 276 k
if i keep the image still it is sharp
when i stop it in a sequnce of jpgs it is sharp
if i move it it is blurry
what is going on here
did i press a wrong button
all of a sudden out of the blue this is a catastrophic event in my work production

In your FCPX preferences, select Playback. In the Playback section, change Playback Quality to High Quality rather than Better Performance. Note that you may see errors regarding dropped frames on playback depending on what you're doing.
When you export or share your project, the images should export at full quality for the settings you're using. The blur you're seeing is expected during playback at Better Performance settings.

My speakers are not all working as they did. Is there a speaker test?

Hi to all,
This is my first post on the forum, and is done in desperation.
I have a laptop in my car running windows XP sp3 and an Audigy 2 ZS pcmcia card.
All was well when I first set up the system (with the help of my son who has now moved out and started his own family).
When my son was here he helped (well virtually did it all) setting up the Audigy software and I remember him saying that the cd that came with it was outdated and he downloaded new drivers etc and installed them on the fresh install of windows we had. all the speakers FR FL RR RL and Sub were ok and sounded really good, but last week windows died and since then I have installed fresh again and downloaded the latest software from the Creative site.
After installing the first time I remember a utility my son used (i think it was within the Creative software) that tested the speakers and a voice came through each one in turn to check if they were connected right. Now I cannot seem to find anything of the sort on this install? I also seem to remember that there was some way of choosing what channel went to what speaker, but can't find this in the new install either.
I just wish I was younger! Maybe then I could understand the problem as easily as my son would have! Doh!
Anyway thanks for reading this and any help would be much appreciated. BTW I am fine with the electrical / electronic side of things as I have been an electrician all my life. Its just this software side that gets me.

IPad 4- Speakers are crackling

I have a problem with my iPad 4. Each time I click on a button on the keyboard it makes a funny crackling sound. This also happens when I play movies or music and when I use anything that requires sound. I really do not know what the problem is.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

My homepage is "igoogle" and some of the sites on it all of a sudden show "internal server error." Does anyone know why?

With "igoogle" as my homepage, I have some links on it such as "date and time," "NY TImes crossword" and "wikipedia" none of which are running all of a sudden. I get "Internal Server Error" for all of them.

Why is iPhone all of a sudden using insane amounts of data, and how do I make it stop? Verizon useless -- laughing all the way to the bank, no doubt.

Got replacement iPhone from Asurion (%$&@ing rat b@stards that they are). All of a sudden, phone using 1G of data every other day. Verizon is useless and can't help me figure out WHAT is using this data. Roaming is off. No new apps. What could be causing this?

What do you find when you check Settings > Cellular to see which apps are using all this data?

Internal speakers are not working, they're not showing up at all. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My computer's speakers are not putting out sound. They worked fine yesterday, and I just now started up my computer and began using it today. The internal speakers don't show up on my list of output devices in settings, and I can't adjust the volume. Any help is really appreciated!!!

They are all in the same folder and it says all images are there, but it is only showing 1 card's images at a time. Does anyone know how to fix this?
This is kind of confusing, on the one hand you say "it says all images are there" and then you directly contradict this by saying "it is only showing 1 card's images at a time".
Could you explain in a lot more detail what you see (and don't say "it", say exactly what part of Lightroom or what part of your operating system you are looking at), or show us a screen capture?

LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the stabilization all of a sudden. I did an analyze. The amount of shake isn't terrible but it's there. There are no squiggly lines in the clip I'm trying to stabilize. As you can see in the screenshot that it allows me to click the "Smooth clip motion" but the slider is not there for zoom. Any ideas why this is happening all of a sudden? It happens on all clips in this event. The entire event was analyzed after importing.

What program are you using for this editing?
We can ask a Host should move your query over to that forum.

HT201272 What is it with songs that are not from the itunes store, but are coming from cd's and other download sources that all of a sudden do not play on my iphone and have a red stop button in a red round circle around them, behind the title?

Songs that I have had previously downloaded from various other sources, but NOW ALL of a sudden they DO NOT PLAY on my IPHONE and DISPLAY a RED STOP BUTTON in a red round circle next to the title. Everytime I click on it it DOESNT play. What happen???? How can i get them to play., Why should i have to pay for the songs, and why are they in the ITUNES store and not in my regular playlist.

Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.
