  • Trouble with opening Mac system operator.  Strange pulsing noise.

    When I open the laptop it takes a while to reboot and the circular rainbow disc shows up for a really long time so i can't even authenticate the system. I closed and reopened the laptop many times to no avail and it started to make this loud pulsing noise. So I took the battery out. and although without the battery it made the pulsing noise I managed to authenticate it with my password and open the system.
    What could be the problem? My mac is not even a year old. i use a regular adaptor since I am in Europe and it has an American plug. Could this be a factor? What should I do?

    First thing you should do, if you haven't... Get the 3 year extended AppleCare.
    Tough to say about the noise from here, but I'd try this first...
    Get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

  • Troubles with opening Finder, System Preferences, and others from dock

    I am having problems with Finder, System Preferences, applications like Word, Excel, and Firefox. When I click on their icons in the dock, the menu bar appears with the name of the application and file, edit, etc. but the application does not open a window on the screen. I just see my background pic. Some of the items in the menu bar that pop down don't work. However, apps like my mail, Safari, Itunes and others work properly.
    If anyone can help me with some suggestions, that would be great!

    Hello t:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    Do those applications open from the application folder? If they do:
    Try trashing a preference file and restarting (com.apple.dock.plist).
    If that does not help, drag the icons that do not work off the dock (poof sound). Then go to the application folder and drag the appropriate icon to the dock.

  • IMac 10.6.8, Snow Leopard with iTunes 11.0.1. loss of wifi speed when connecting a Bose Sound System via bluetooth

    Hello, I have an iMac 10.6.8, Snow Leopard with iTunes 11.0.1. When connecting my Bose Sound System via bluetooth the wifi downloadspeed goes from snappy to a crawl, disconnecting the bluetooth connection, the downloadspeed goes up again. Don't have this problems with the Sound System when connecting it to my iPad. I like to mention too, that the downloadspeed of my iPad is always better than of my iMac. Are there any experiences concerning this problem? Thank you in advance.

    UPDATE - PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!
    You can thank me later - after an hour on the phone, I finally got through to a Senior Engineer.
    Apperently the issues lies with GRID VIEW.
    Open your Itunes, Click on TV SHOWS, then quickly change your view from GRID VIEW (Defaults to this) to List View and Viola!
    We tested it out on the phone just minutes ago, my problem is solved and I suspect if you guys try this yours will be too.

  • HT4587 Hi, I want to set up a sound system in a new house using apple equipment. I have few sets of Bose speakers that I would like to utilise, my question is - what do I need to set it up and how do I do it with regards to  AirPlay? Thanks

    Hi, new to the forums and apple tbh.
    Moving into a new house and want to set up a sound system, thought apple would be the way to go as I have iPads, iPhones, iPod touch and nanos. I also have a few sets of Bose speakers which I would like to incorporate. What I am wondering is, what else do I need to buy to do this? Do I need seperate devices to attach to each speaker? Do I need a new router? And how would I configure it?
    Ideally I would like 4 rooms each with their own speakers that could play simultaneously.
    Thanks in advance!!!!

    First, please check out the following Apple Support article for details on setting up an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) for iTunes streaming. Note: You will need a separate AX for each set of speakers that you want to stream to. Also, note that you can stream a single audio file to one or more speakers, but you cannot stream separate audio files to different speakers simultaneously.
    Second, the Bose speakers you mentioned would need to have an audio input jack, either analog or optical digital to receive the stream from the AX. As you know, Bose makes a number of different speaker/home theatre audio options. If your specific model of speakers do, then it's just a matter to use the appropriate audio cable between the audio port of the AX and the speakers.

  • Hi, recently purchased macbook 13", I have problem with sound when connect to my LG Smart tv with sound system. When i change sounds effect on my sound system also LG its all go quiet didn't have this problem with my laptop. Any advise ?

    Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
    You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
    If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
    There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

  • Hi , I suhail khan from india and i am user of iMac system 10,1.These days i am facing the sound enabling issue with my iMac system I am not able to hear sound in my iMac system.So kindly suggest me how to enable sound in my iMac . Please no the needful.

                      Hi , I suhail khan from india and i am user of iMac system 10,1.These days i am facing the sound enabling issue with my iMac system I am not able to hear sound in my iMac system.So kindly suggest me how to enable sound in my iMac . Please no the needful.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. If you've recently plugged anything into the audio-out (headphone) port, plug and unplug it a couple of times.
    2. From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Sound ▹ Output
    Check the settings. The internal speakers should be selected as the output device, the Mute box should not be checked, and the volume slider should be at least halfway to the right.
    3. Look inside the headphone port. If a red light is coming from the port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a headphone mini-stereo jack of the proper size.Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    4. Boot in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime. It will take much longer than usual. You don't have to log in; just reboot as usual (without holding any keys) when the login screen appears. (Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.)
    5. Reset the NVRAM.
    6. Reset the SMC.
    7. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data as a precaution. You won't need your backup unless something goes wrong.
    8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • 5.1 Sound System with Satellite X200

    Hi,
    this is my first post here since up until now I've been able to solve all issues regarding my laptop. In the meantime, I acquired a 5.1 sound system to connect to my machine thinking it would be pretty straightforward due to all the technology implemented in this model and the SPIDF output and so on and so forth....well it wasn't :)
    I've searched online for a solution but nothing obvious came up, and I've tried just sticking the sound system jacks everywhere just to experiment and see what I get but apparently there's always only 2 speakers working plus the bass.
    Can anybody give me a hand?
    Thanks in advance, best regards from Portugal
    Bruno Belo

    Boas!
    The x200 sound system is a 2.1 system, so to have a 5.1 system you need an external decoder and bypass the internal system using the SPDIF output.
    Did you really aquired a 5.1 sound system or just a 5.1 speaker system ? If is really a decoder you should have a digital input to plug the SPDIF output and configure it to play at least 4.1 with an stereo source, an mp3 for example.
    If you only have a 5.1 speakers system(even digital) you'll need an 5.1 external sound card, some are USB interfaced others pcmcia.

  • Open Sound System (how to start)

    Hi, can anyone help me with OSS sound service?
    Ive tryd and configure oss with the ArchWiki.
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Open_Sound_System
    For playing more then one sound at the same time im using the 4Front Virtual mixer.
    My problem is that now its configured as described in the wiki, i do have sound. But just for one application at the time. If i start oss as root with the "soundon" command in a consule I can play more applications at the same time. To try and fix this I just added 
    # Starts oss sound system
    /usr/lib/oss/bin/soundon
    in /etc/rc.conf
    It works now, but while booting/shutting down i get a few warnings that oss is already running. So does anyone know a better way to start OSS?

    Control Panel->Admin. Tools->Services
    Or if you have added Computer Icon to desktop (right click desktop->Personalise->Change desktop icons
    then you can left-click it selecting Manage where you see Services & Apps

  • OSS/ALSA or Open Sound System/ Advanced Linux Sound Architecture?

    I want to move/rename the articles in the wiki to their full names but they are commonly referred to by their shorter names even though the longer names would improve clarity. I've been cleaning up redirections in the wiki anyway so it would be too much of a bother to add a few more things to my list of redirections to clean up. Thoughts?

    ngoonee wrote:Why not have OSS redirect to Open Sound System and similarly for alsa? Though I think that's what you're suggesting.. in that case, go for it
    Can not agree more.  This will definitely be easier for a user to find the article and also improve clarity.

  • I get only sound from left with 5.1 sound system on Satellite P100

    Hi!
    I have a P100-347 and a logitech 5.1 sound system.
    The logitech 5.1 has 3 connection: 1 to be plugged to the Line-In, the other to be connected to the Line-out and the 3rd to be connected to the Microphone socket.
    When using it on my desktop which has a random SIS sound card it works fine.
    Yesterday I've connected it to the P100-347 but I only get sound from the Line-out socket. I have changed the sound preferences to 5.1 but it makes no difference... I only get sound from the Line-out. Is there any drivers update that I should do or is anyone aware of this and how can I fix it??
    Just one more thing... With the laptop came this cd "Express Media Player Recovery CD", what is this? Is this something to be installed after runing the "Product Recovery CD" in order to install some drivers or whatever is in this cd comes with the Product Recovery CD as well? Does anyone knows?
    Thank you.

    Hi
    There is no problem. As you said the notebook supports Line-in; headphone & S/PDIF jack and Microphone jack.
    If you want to connect the HiFI or another device you have to choose the headphone & S/PDIF jack. Only this port provides the audio outputting.
    The both another jacks provide only the function for signal (sound) receiving!
    My notebook provides the same jacks and I have connected the notebook to HiFI (5 speakers) via Y-audio cable like this one:

  • 5.1 sound system with macbook pro

    Hi I just got the Logitech Z-5500 sound system setup for my macbook pro. I'm trying to hook up the digital output using mini-toslink to toslink cable and digital coaxial audio cable.
    However, my Logitech control screen says that it does not detect any digital data. Under my sound settings in system preferences, I can see the digital out. And when I go to Audio MIDI Setup--> Configure speakers, the 5.1 option is shaded out. It's the same when I select Encoded Digital Audio under the Audio Output.
    Right now, my speakers can play sound but it's not 5.1 and there's no sound coming out of the center channel and the rear channels. The Macbook Pro should be able to automatically detect the 5.1 system shouldn't it? Or is there a problem with my digital output? Any help would be great. Thanks.
