No sound ball
I have no sound on my iPad. I have tried adjusting them in the sound settings and I am getting sounds but nothing eles. It is not on mute in the task bar or on the side. When I try to turn up the side volume it says sound effects but will not raise. The task bar shows the volume bar but there is no way to adjust it, the sound ball is missing. Same thing happens in iTunes.
Clarification, if I re-export the QT movies from Quicktime with AAC audio on the original computer they work fine. This means I have to export them from the original software, then open and re-export from QT before compressing in Compressor. Stinks.

MacBook sound cuts in and out & getting a beach ball a lot.
When I try to play a video the sound either cuts in and out or just stays off. You can barely hear a small popping noise through the speakers. The chisel also lags very band making it impossible to watch, it does not matter if the video is online or on the computer itself. I also get the beach all allot even sometimes just using Word. Is there any way to fix this without wiping the hard drive?
Here is a video if this will help
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3NYtPt0vIc&feature=youtube_gdata_playerHi I have experienced this problem also, especially when listening to mp3's. At first I thought the quality of mp3 was the cause (as in different encoding quality) but it seemed to happen when playing DVD as well. I don't think a reboot will solve the problem for good, as it happens quite randomly. I have a sneaking suspicion that the internal speakers may be at fault. doesn't hurt to get apple to check it out while under warranty.

Spinning beach ball accompanied by subtle rhythmic sound from laptop
what does it mean? can it be fixed?
It happens randomly, like when I'm checking email. bummer!could be failing hard drive, consider backing up any important files right away
if it's the hard drive, the fix is around $150-200 parts/labor -

}Any help would be appreciated, thanks.Hi, here is a solution to your problem I hope. I have also included some extra features and brought your code up to a higher standard in terms of java conventions (however the {} on the next line is my convention, from C# :p).
A few things:
- For the balls deflecting at the proper angles then you will need to learn vector maths and I am afraid that my knowledge of that is rather sketchy (still 1st year uni student, more on that next year :p)
- I used Graphics2D purely because I was lazy so I could write g2.draw(bounds); instead of using g.drawRect(x, y, height, width); - both methods give the same result
- You will need to look up how to do drawing in applets to remove that flickering, I'm not sure if you do the same thing as normal swing/awt components (ie double buffering), as applets aren't my strong point.
- I removed the button because it was unneccessary, it will take you 60 seconds to add it back in if you want.
- You really REALLY should write a 'Ball' class and make some Ball objects instead of having separate variables for each ball. I will leave that up to you :)
- I STRONGLY recommend the use of comments throughout any program you use, not because of convention but because it not only helps other developers to understand your code and what it does, but also to refresh your memory when you come back from a break and try to keep writing. (trust me, do not underestimate the power of comments!) . I have put a few in to show you what they should look like; they should be brief and concise, explain what a section of code does, and how it does it.
- Enjoy!

Leopard Mail! Problems?...heck, it launches and the ball starts spinning...
Yup.
God bless all of the early adopters.
I installed Leopard the other night. First just the update....hmmm, things were buggy. So I archived and installed.
Mail.....will launch, and then the spinning ball of death starts. Nothing else. I have to force quit it.
I have read through the threads here, and many seem to have specific problems. Mine is a bit more generic...I cant get to first base.
Suggestions?
Another observation. I am using Firefox to post this. When I start to write or type anything into a Safari window......the spinning ball of death happens in Safari as well.
I dont mean to sound surly, but I am a bit disappointed in this upgrade to say the least.
Thoughts or suggestions on my malady?This is what I would try in your situation...
Obviously it is always good to have a backup to start off with...
I would reinstall Leopard using Archive and Install but do NOT preserve user settings...
After the installation and Leopard starts, you will be presented with a new install and you will have to fill in all the information just like a new computer...
Do not move any of your files or preferences over at this time. They will still be in a folder called "Previous Systems" as you probably already know..
See if Leopard runs for you this way... If it does, then start moving some of your things back a little at a time. -
I'm having trouble accessing a Library. I keep getting the beach ball every time I try to open it.
Hi all. Very, VERY new to FCP. I've used many of your suggestions on here to help me through a lot, so thank you!
This is just one issue that I can't seem to figure out.
I was working on a project yesterday without any problems.
Today when I went to work on it, Final Cut would start up, but it would display the beach ball forever once the start up routine was finished. The project would never load.
A note, I have all current App updates installed.
(I figured maybe this particular project didn't get updated for some reason, so I tried manually updating my projects and events, but when I went to select them in my 2nd drive, they were grey and I couldn't select them.)
Another note, other projects work perfectly fine when I go to open them. It's just when I go to open this particular one, Final Cut will not work. Endless beach ball.
I tried a suggestion that one user had, and that was to open two separate windows in Finder, and move the uncooperative library package contents into a new library. That didn't work either, and now I am unable to move the library package contents back to their original library. There is a yellow "!" triangle next to the library in Final Cut, so I'm wondering if this means that the file is corrupt.
Hopefully I've given enough information on here to shed some light on my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.If it was working on 10/1, why not open up the most recent backup library with a timestamp of that day. Unless you specified otherwise, your backup folder is in Movies in your home folder. You can double-click one to open it in FCP.
The update command actually wants a mounted drive selected.
I suggest not going into the library bundles and moving or modifying folders/files except as a last resort. It sounds like both libraries are corrupted.

My Past, Present & Future with Creative Sound Blaster cards
I wrote a small product review of a Z-series card i regrettably purchased and creative responded. I replied to them and copied+pasted it here. First and foremost please understand this is just an open letter talking about my love for and mostly positive experiences with the Sound Blaster line of cards since the mid-late 1990s.
Attached is an annotated picture of almost all the Creative hardware I've bought over the years.
Take a good long look at that picture. Think about how many songs have been played through those devices, think of how many movies have been heard through those devices, think of how many games made me jump out of my seat from sound effects heard through those devices, and lastly think how many thousands of hours this amounts to.
STOP READING and LOOK at that attached PICTURE.
I use the word 'almost' because it does not include the card I recently purchased off e-bay, which was listed as (and was) mint condition new, and cost me $250.... a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series card.
If the direction Creative is going to continue to go is the direction that it's been going over the past handful of years this will be the last Creative product myself or anyone i influence or make purchasing decisions for will ever buy. Being in my mid 30s I'd say you'll miss out on at least another 20-30+ years of future product purchases.
Below is my address of your reply to my review of your product in a piece by piece layout:
"Based on user feedback we've done the following:
- Take up less disk space"
I run two 128GB SSDs in a hardware based (LSI Logic 8704ELP) raid-0 array so the disk footprint of drivers and software is important to me but whatever space you reduced your driver to is trivial.
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Creative\(ALchemy, AudioCS AutoMode Switcher, Console Launcher, Shared Files, ShareDLL,THX Console, Volume Panel)
in total take up about 100MB of space. reducing this means NOTHING because it does not allow for more hefty software (Games or Design/Drafting/3D-Modelling Software) to be installed. Now if say your driver and software had a 1GB footprint and you reduced it to 500MB that would be significant because 500MB is enough space to account for one or 2 of average installation footprints of the products in the Adobe Creative Suite. Reducing the size from 100MB to 25MB/50MB/75MB is moot.
"- Optimized controls for touch screens"
This point is amusing, why? because you are making the same mistake Microsoft made with Windows 8 & Metro. Most people who buy a creative sound card are putting it in a PC and do not have a touchscreen. I don't manage a lot of computers but the ~200 i am responsible for bypassed Windows 8 (maybe even Windows 9, we'll see) and either moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 or they will be staying with Windows 7 for the foreseeable future. The touch centric design of Windows 8 is a significant part of this decision despite all the things Microsoft did that i think are steps forward (like better native support for multiple display devices to name one example).
"- Streamlined the interface so it's easier to navigate (removed "modes" and have all controls available regardless what you want to use the card for)."
Dumbing-down a product to reach a greater audience is walking the fine line of Quality vs. Quantity. Why you've sacrificed significant Quality to increase Quantity i do not know. While I will agree making 1 interface instead of 3 can be a potential step forward you did more than streamlining the user interface- you removed prominent, useful, and important features.
"- Better tie in with the Windows audio sub-system."
Through out the decade the only problems I experienced with Windows and my Creative products i can count on one hand. The first would be when Microsoft abandoned DirectSound and moved to an UAA based audio stack in Vista forward and your company dropped the ball and Daniel_K picked it up and made working drivers for your products and you went after him... I was one of the people who used his working drivers to make your sound card work properly when you failed to do so. Second was the fact that you people charged for ALchemy when the move to Vista occurred... this was truly a sh*ty thing to do. The third was the X-RAM causing a BSOD (STOP 0x50 - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA) in windows on a regular random basis because of your device drivers and the best working solution was to disable using the X-RAM on the card- a selling point of the cards to begin with (albeit in years prior).
Allow me to elaborate some more while I have time since it's sunday night and the family is busy with other things and will be off to bed thereafter.
Creative's device drivers and software has always been a point of contention. You don't make the install discs available for download on your website for starters. This is a fascist move on your part. Your driver installation procedure and reliability is hit or miss. I personally have not had a lot of trouble with the drivers (only a few hiccups here and there) but i have read on the forums where all sorts of other people have (I'm not in disagreeing that their problems are partially their fault, but that's the price of running Windows instead of buying a Mac). My experience with your driver software suites over the years have been mostly (A) "When it works as expected it's sheer aural bliss beyond that of any other sound card in existence! THIS is why 'Sound Blaster Compatible' was what other companies put on their products, because Creative set the standard for everyone else to meet." but also sometimes (B) "everything installed and worked fine but now something is corrupt and not all the speakers have sound coming from them or the sound is all screwed up and the driver won't uninstall/reinstall/update correctly because it's corrupt and it's not deleting the driver files because windows has the files locked and safe mode isn't helping so now i have to physically remove the card from the PC and try to completely clean out my system of the Creative software. I can't believe they went after Daniel_K the way they did, i wish he'd come back and fix their drivers. Now which box did i put that install cd in...."
There are 2 reasons I've bought Creative sound cards for over a decade now. CMSS 3D when listening to music while working throughout the day and EAX in videogames at night.
I remember the moment when I experienced EAX for the very first time. I was in college and over at a friend's place. He had just got a new game called Thief: The Dark Project. I remember him telling me about something new called EAX and that only Creative cards had it and that it was supposed to be awesome. About an hour later after watching and HEARING him play Thief I was hooked. Creative had secured a place for it's hardware in my budget for every PC i built from that day forward.
Being that I've worked from home for about a decade now I will listen to music while I work and get in an hour or so of gaming at night as time allows. Straight off the bat the first time i ticked that box for CMSS 3D long long ago and heard music coming from every speaker in my home office i was amazed and overwhelmed. Then when you introduced the ability to set the individual speaker distance and volume from the listening position it was the icing on the cake. I was surround by sound. It was SHEER AURAL BLISS. This feature called CMSS 3D would become the second reason I purchased and recommended Creative sound cards for the decade to come.
As i stated in my review, the only reason i bought a new sound card was because the motherboard I was purchasing had no PCI slots (I remember when motherboards stopped having ISA slots as well...). Before making my purchase I read. I read a lot. I read about the changes you made with the X-Fi Titanium HD and then the Recon3D, and the more i read the more a feeling of apprehension began to take hold. Then i got to reading about the Z-series and read about some of the positive changes between it and the Recon3D line of cards and I became a bit more hopeful.
Sadly my apprehension was spot on... Listening to music was a worse experience when compared to my X-Fi Platinum (or even my old Audigy 2)... and did not even come close to justifying the purchase of the card compared to just using the integrated sound capabilities of my motherboard, an ASRock Z87 OC Formula/ac. But none the less I still had EAX to fall back on right? wrong... I installed a couple games, some new and some old, some with EAX and some without, and for about 2 weeks i played a bit of each one to see how the card handled new and old games. Sadly EAX compatibility didn't even matter because it was overshadowed by poor directional audio reproduction... that same front center speaker that was overbearing when listening to music was noticeable when gaming to the point that it was negatively affecting my gaming experience. I tweaked and toggled every setting i could and even uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and software to try to mitigate this but to my dismay i could not. It was at this point I went weighing my options... and looking for an X-Fi Titanium (NON-HD!) and suffered the capitalist price gouging that occurs in such supply & demand situations... at least i talked the guy down from his original asking price of $300. I bit the bullet on this because chances are this is going to be the last Creative card i ever own...
I've had my Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series installed for just over a week now. Everything sounds precise and as it should when you have a quality piece of hardware paired with quality software. Directional audio in games comes from all speakers appropriately and not excessively from the front center speaker unless it's supposed to. Ambient music floats through the air all through out the day creating that familiar feeling of sheer aural bliss as it did before. The only downside is I'm getting to experience the problems other people have with this card (strange loud static-like warble EMI type noise coming from speakers, unaffected by windows volume control) but I have found a work around that I'm using on the rare occasion this happens (disable the device in device manager, re-enable device in device manager).
Chances are what i've written above is perhaps an opening soliloquy of the requiem for the Creative Sound Blaster, the card that defined an industry and the company that turned it's back on it. I don't expect anything to come from this letter and I don't expect a meaningful reply from you. You'll probably write me justifying your decisions you've made with your product line and offer some false sincerity about how you are happy i am enjoying my price-gouged discontinued soundcard i had to buy off e-bay because your current line of products are not a step back in your eyes because of the profits they turn. This generation of customers who buy your Platinum HD, or Reco3D or Z-series line of cards probably oblivious to what they are missing out on (through no fault of their own), funny how the bliss of ignorance works and lines your pockets...
It saddens me that i had to buy a discontinued product off e-bay because it's a better product than what your company currently offers. I wish this wasn't the way things turned out. When you dropped the fun presets and finite control of the EAX effects during the transition from the Audigy to the X-Fi line of cards I noticed but since they were not the main reason I owned a Creative card I tolerated it. But now you've gone and ruined the features that were the reasons i bought Creative cards, and this I will not oblige.
My Creative Hardware.jpg@To the OP:
I own a X-Fi Elite Pro for the past 8 years now.
Since there, this card has faithfullly seen me through 3 major PC upgrades.
I'm currently at a point where, very sadly, much of what you've described is also weighing on my decision to not go for a Z line.
@Creative:
I do hope you're listening and can come up with a solution to a simply design feature - namely a fully working Stereo Surround, like the one that was available in the X-Fi line of cards via CMSS-3D.

I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account or delete messages etc. For some reason, I CAN send mail on Apple mail using this account, although it takes several minutes. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari and internet explorer on my office PC. It's obviously a glitch in Apple's Mail. I've deleted this account and reopened it in Mail on my Mac Pro with no difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this E amil account is major to my business.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
sounds like a corrupt database or index
the glitch is your home folder and mail folder, esp look at syncservices
I'd post in the mail or Lion forum where you will find similar issues being discussed.

No sound - apart from with headphones (when it works as normal)
Needing help - iphone 3gs has suddenly stopped sounds unless the headphones are attached.
Also all ringtones are no longer showing up on phone but are classed as being synced across from itunes.
I've tried cleaning, using a vaccum, turning on/off, resetting on phone, restoring via itunes, putting jack in/out repeatedly - all to no avail.
Feeling all that is left is treatment with a ball pein hammer.
Any suggestions on solving this would be gratefully received,
kind regards to all & thanks for your eyes n time.I have the same issue. Phone rings with calls and alarm works but no sounds with tweets, messages...etc
Tried sleep-wake with Home button reset.. Tried full restore from back up. Mute slider makes no difference.
When in settings/ sounds and I try to select alert sounds I can feel the Vibrate with each selection but no sounds.
Any ideas? -
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.

Thank You,
Michael Mastro IIConsidering 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.

i have a 2006 iMac with a 160 HD and 1GB of ram. I recently got a 2TB external hard drive and transfered all my pictures to that. Once I had a solid folder structure for my photos, I dragged them all to iPhoto. Once iPhoto had created its own folder structure of my photos, I deleted my own folder structure, so that I wouldn't have multiple copies. It all sounded like a great plan, but now my computer just "beach balls" every time I turn it on.
What does this have to do with iPhoto? If you're computer isn't starting up properly I'd be posting on the OS forum for whatever version of the OS you have.

So, after a period of playing internet radio (various stations), the station stops and I find then that iTunes has frozen with the beach ball spinning.
I'm hoping that someone in the community can provide some advice.
Here's the start of the latest force quit report I've sent to apple:

I would recommend posting on the MBP thread http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1149&start=0 This is more of a system rescue problem than an itunes issue.
Good luck, Matt. -
Hangs, slow shutdowns and restart, spinning ball opening and closing apps
I am experiencing random hang ups and slow wake up and shutdowns.
I will be typing something and nothing appears then all of a sudden the text will appear. The cursor will periodically hang up, applications take along time to open and close and I seem to get the spinning ball frequently. System preferences is slow to open. The problems seems to correct itself if I restart.
In addition, it takes forever for the DVD to recogized a CD or DVD disk and show the icon on the desk top.
I have been monitoring various posts related to this problem and there does not seem to be an answer?? Is Apple aware of these issues. I have done everything from resetting the PRAM to running disk utilities, unpluging the machine, re-installing software, etc... Nothing seems to work...I called tech support and been the Genius Bar....It seems to get worse the longer the computer is on....HELP...dralexander wrote:

That seems to be a common theme -- and sounds suspiciously
like an over-temperature problem. Try smcFanControl.

Every time I click print in Pages I get the beach ball and my mac freezes.
I just updated to the newest version of pages and every time I click print in pages I get the beach ball and my mac freezes. Any suggestions on fixing this? I've tried shutting down and restarting several times...nothing seems to be working and I'm loosing/wasting time trying to fix this...
Hey there nmiller0528,
It sounds like you are unable to print from Pages at all from your computer. I want to recommend troublehsooting the Mac OS for print issues with this article named:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
