No sound device...and problems to shut down...

a friend of mine kicked by mistake my Mac and after that I lost the sound device...even though it runs sometimes...it got character I guess...
and it also doesn't shut down sometimes and freezes...so I have to turn it off taking out the battery...
that's the solution I found...but I might have a problem...
can some one help me?
what is best to do?
Thanks

Did all these problems start with the trauma to the iBook from your friend's foot, or were they already there to some degree? Especially the freezing? If you were already having problems, the accidental kick may have just served to make them worse.
There are some general things that you could try. You could find the set of CD's that originally came with your iBook and find and run the Apple Hardware Test and see if anything comes up in the form of an error code. You could try resetting the PMU. You could go to Disk Utility and verify both permissions and the disk and repair if necessary. You could check and see how much free space remains on your hard drive.
Freezing could be software or hardware related. Because of the trauma to your machine, it may well be hardware. Nevertheless, it is well to do a little hard drive maintenance and software troubleshooting just to be sure that software is not a factor here.
Please post back with how it went with the AHT and DU and resetting the PMU.
Also, you can apply pressure to the lower left side of your iBook and see if this makes any difference.
Good luck!

View image uploaded here in a new browser tab or window and scale them to actual pixels the site scale image poorly.

  • I just subscribed to IHome but when it tries to gather information about my music library, I get an error message that my Itunes is not responding and then it shuts down. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • Problem with Preview Cache and LR5 keeps shutting down

    I keep trying to open LR5 and it gives me an error message that says it encountered a problem with the preview cache and needs to shut down, and it will attempt to fix the problem next time I open LR 5.  It keeps happening and won't allow me to open LR5 at all.  What should I do?

    Delete .lrdata folder (the whole thing) - it's in with your catalog.
    Do NOT delete your catalog (.lrcat file) or anything else.
    If you have 2 .lrdata folders, delete the one that does NOT have "Smart Previews" in the name.

  • I keep the itunes encountered a problem and needs to shut down . it was working fine until after i updated to 10.5 can someone plz help

    i keep the itunes encountered a problem and needs to shut down . it was working fine until after i updated to 10.5 can someone plz help

    I did get a "server busy" message when I loaded quicktime, but I'm not sure if it is related or not since I've been seeing that over the last couple of days, I can't remember if it came before iTunes stopped working or not. That message reads "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." My options then are to choose switch to or retry. When I press "switch to" my Start menu opens, and nothing appears to happen when I select retry.
    that's an odd sort of a message (or series of messages).
    hmmmmm. let's try an experiment aimed at working out if there's a program interfering with the QuickTime (which is in turn causing grief with your iTunes).
    try a selective startup using MSCONFIG, with just the itunes and QuickTime background processes enabled, as per the following document:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    does QT open without the strange message after the selective startup?
    does iTunes launch properly?

  • Frequent "Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" window. Need to disable adblock plus and AVG safe search to continue. Any way to fix?

    For about a third of websites I visit, at some point I receive a "Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" window. I have to disable both Adblock plus and AVG safe search in order to continue. This used to happen for two or so sites, and I disabled the ad-ons before going to those sites. It has increased to the point that the adblock plus and safe search ad-ons are becoming pretty useless. Is there any way to rectify this problem. Sending error reports has no effect.

    Have you changed anything in the Photoshop installation areas?  If the updater doesn't find a pristine installation it will fail.
    The only area you should ever put anything into is the plug-ins subfolder.  Everything else is hands-off.

  • Why does Macbook Pro have gray "curtain"and msg to shut down when playing video online?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard v 10.6.8 and have put on all the security updates.
    I bought this machine just days after the newest MBP's were released with Lion because I wanted to stay with Snow Leopard
    From the very beginning I would have occasional "gray screens" with a message that I'd encounterd a problem and needed to shut down.  It always occured while I was watching a streaming video online (Flash?) but it didn't always happen.  I updated my Flash plugin and that seemed to help.  I use both Safari and FireFox and both are now updated to the latest versions.
    I had also noticed via iCleanMemory that my memory availability was very low .....I always have many tabs open in my browsers and have backup software that backs up to online storage running and when I watched a video, it dropped to almost 0 and everything ran slow.  I had 4 GB Ram.
    So, I ordered new ram and put that in and now have 8 GB.  Machine runs fast. Love it....except it keeps giving me that veil of gray and the message to shut down.  It happens several times a day now and while usually in conjunction with watching a video clip, it's not always the case.  But I have lots of available memory.  That wasn't the issue.
    I found an Apple Support paper relative to needing a video update on some mid 2010 MBP's and downloaded it.  It won't install and says it won't run on my system so that didn't help.
    I'm at my wits' end trying to keep this thing running.  Everytime I have to shut it down it means a minimum of 8 min...sometimes more.....before it will restart.  If I try to restart sooner than that, it begins to boot and then just has lines and lines of numbers and code running across it....and often continuous beeping sounds and I have to hold the button down to shut it off again.  If I wait long enough, it does boot back up and sometimes runs fine as long as I'm not watching video clips, a streaming tv show or clicking on a lot of links in web pages.
    I don't believe it has shut down when I was doing anything that wasn't web related....i.e. on a browser. And, when I was running with only 4 gb ram, it rarely shut down, just ran very, very slowly.  Now with 8 gb ram it is speedy but doesn't seem to want to keep working!
    Anyone have any ideas what I should try next?
    Thanks
    Paula

    Hi Allan,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have been closing iCleanMemory but the shut down (kernel panic) was still happening.  Not sure how to go about uninstalling it as it's one that runs at start-up and dragging it to the trash might not get rid of it completely.  I"ll find it's web site and see if they have any info.
    Haven't checked your web link yet (it's late and gotta get to bed) but will do so tomorrow.
    I also run Backblaze and DropBox that begin at startup and are constantly updating in the background, iStatMenus and Sharpshooter. 
    The kernel panics were happening....tho much less frequently.....before i put iClean Memory on.  If I remember right, I installed it just because I had those periodic shut downs and wondered if it was a lack of memory.  Because I then saw that memory was very low all the time, I decided I must need to put more memory in.  And that seems to have made the issue worse while also making the machine work faster for the time it is running.
    Now, I've been working on here for a couple of hours and had no problem at all......but I haven't asked it to play any kind of video.  Before I quit for the night, I'll try to watch the last one I tried that caused it to shut down and see if it does it again.
    I do appreciate your help as I have just enough knowledge about these things to be dangerous.

  • I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs.

    I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs.  Does anyone have a solution for this problem.

    First and periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The iPad 1only has 256 MB of memory.

  • Premiere Pro and Encore CS6 shutting down.

    I recently switched my graphics card from a GTX680 to a GTX780. Everything worked fine until I did that. First I found that I had to add the card to the "approved cards" file for premier and after effects. I did that by simply adding it to the existing list and hitting save. That brought back the CUDA capabilities in those applications.
    Premiere was running well but exporting the video ran into some problems. I exported a clip through Media Encoder and it was running great (and fast) until about halfway through and it just shut down Media Encoder with no warning. I tried the same thing exporting straight through Premiere and got the same thing then Premeir shut down. I tried different clips and different formats but got the same results.
    When those programs shut down, the rest of the computer runs fine.
    Are there steps I missed installing the new card? or do I need to change something in the Bios?
    I am running a PC with:
    Core i7 3770K  (not overclocked)
    Asus GeForce GTX780
    G-Skill Ram at 32GB running at 1600
    The BIOS was just updated in an effort to write that off as a problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks for your response Jim.
    Here is the latest. The computer itself started shutting down while working in premiere so I went back into the BIOS and changed the RAM from 1866MHZ to 1600MHZ and that seems to have fixed the problem. I was able to render that file and the computer seems solid again.
    I won't be excited until it goes the rest of the day today and tomorrow and renders a 60 minute file again. Not sure what the ram speed was set to before updating the BIOS so I am guessing that was it.
