MMacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) switches on but internal display remains off/black .There is no start-up sound and the fan starts off normal but after about Five minutes begins to run even faster

Hi ,
My MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) switches on but internal display remains off/black .There is no start-up sound and the fan starts off normal but after about Five minutes begins to run even faster as if the machine is running a heavy load.It displayed a question mark some time back then a friend borrwed it ,he flashed the system and put windows 7.Then a few days pasted and now it wont display as stated.I have tried to Reset SMC and the Command + P + R + Power but still no response.Please assist?

I think your "friend" caused a problem (or two).
I do not know what "flashed the system" means......
Based on what was done, I would probably erase the HD and restore the system from a backup before the software changes were made.

Every cut I make in the sequence window leaves one remaining frame from its deleted neighbor clip. How do I turn off this feature - It is driving me mad.

Every cut I make in the sequence window leaves one remaining frame from its deleted neighbor clip. How do I turn off this feature - It is driving me mad.

Here are 3 pictures detailing what I'm experiencing.
Picture 1; clip 1 tail frame.
Picture 2; clip 2 head frame.
Picture 3; clip 2 head frame is now tail frame of clip 1.
does this help describe what is happening? Basically every cut I make
leaves an unwanted frame as a ghost of the missing cut.
best,

No windows sound on boo

i installed my xfi platinum all fine, the sound is fantastic with music games etc. the only problem is i no longer have any windows sound when i boot up or log off. i have checked sounds and audio devices and have chosen windows default in sound scheme in the sound tab. it doesnt give me the option to hear the sound tho if i choose one in program events.
i have checked for softwaqre updates, but my software is the same as the update software

I Have been casually chasing the exact same problem myself for six months or so. All the above suggestions have been tried to no avail. P4, XP Pro sp2, Audigy Sound Blaster 2 Platinum. Altec Lansing 2. speaker system. All the .wavs play through the windows sound control panel, default sound scheme is selected and all the wavs are where they should be. Could it be that sound won't play THROUGH the Audigy card and make it to the external speakers until the Audigy drivers all load - AFTER the logon sound gets its chance to shine?Your thoughts and suggestions are all appreciated! (well... except for the "be happy it doesn't play" comments, lol.)?TonyTexas?Message Edited by tonio647 on 03-2-200703:27 PM

How do I recover a window that has gone off the screen ?

The upper and right hand sides of my "Adobe Elements Organizer" application window have gone permanently off my Imac screen and try as I might, I can't drag or minimize this window to centre it on my desktop as a much smaller size and thereby recover control of it.    The missing window top contains some commands I can't access and so does the missing right hand side of the application window. Have tried junking app prefs, turning off Spaces, starting and restarting the computer.   Problem does not occur in other accounts using the same app - so something is screwed up with this app's window size defaults or settings or prefs in my user account only.
anyone have any suggestions?
Deleting all the "com.adobe.elements organizer.plist" files does NOT cure my problem.   I suspect it has something to do with Mavericks' poorly tested 'multiple displays' feature -- that likely has some bugs in it.   This app window seems to think it's on a much bigger monitor than my 21.5" Imac.'   short of removing and reinstalling the app itself or getting a windows machine, I can think of nothing else to do.

Not sure I follow what you mean: When I open Mission Control, the entire troubled application window is then (hurrah !!!) visible on the Mission Control "Overview" screen - but when I c\olick in that app and I am returned to the normal operating screen, it's all cut off again. It will not let me click and hold and then drag on its lower black border; I can only resize it in the direction that pushes it further off the screen.
This app's main window remains stubbornly frozen in position - up at, and extending right off of, the top right of my screen and it does not respond to normal dragging - normal attempts to pull it down and see the lower right corner so I can resize the window by dragging its corner inward diagonally.
Can you describe what you want me to try in different words. By invoking I assume you mean opening mission control.   That I am doing and that's the only way I can see the whole window looming quite normal.   But it won;t render for me that normal way on a normal operating screen.

System(Windows) sound is quiet

I have a dv6-1355dx and until a few days, the sound was just fine. For some odd reason, now the Windows system sounds have gotten quieter. I checked all of the sound settings and everything is on high volume. Even other video/audio clips are as loud as it should be, but the Windows sounds just seemed to be muffled. I've installed newer drivers, reinstalled the original driver and nothing makes it different
Does anyone have any clue as to what could be the cause?

- Go to Settings>Music and see if volume limit is turned on.
- Try resetting your iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Try fully inserting and then pulling out the headphone plug about five to ten times.
- Restore the iPod. First from backup and if problems persist. restore to factory defaults.
- If still problems. I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

ITunes disables my Windows sounds and takes away the volume control

I have searched and found no answer to this- others have posted this same question.
I installed itunes and it removed my volume control from the task bar. It disabled my Windows sounds and took away the volume control from the System Tray next to clock. My media buttons no longer affect the volume either. I have to go into control panel to change my system volume.
At first- it only happened when my daughter would plug in her iPod and use iTunes, and then after we'd reboot the computer, the volume control would come back and no longer be disabled. Each time she used iTunes, it would happen again. Then a computer restart would bring it back. Now all of a sudden, nothing brings it back. I have to go about 4-5 screens deep into Control Panel to adjust the volume there. This is ridiculous and an absolutely unacceptable side effect of iTunes.
Does someone have an answer or do we need to delete iTunes and never again buy a crappy apple product?

Figured it out!
Go to Control Panel -> Sound
In the “Playback” tab, click on your Speakers to highlight it, then click Properties. In the “Advanced” tab, under “Exclusive Mode”, uncheck the box that says “Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device”. I restarted my computer after that, but I am not sure if you need to.
Then you can go to your taskbar and right-click and choose “Properties”. In the “Notification Area” tab, under System icons, “Volume” is no longer grayed out and you can now check the box to make it show up down near your clock again.

5.1 Surround Sound speakers not working since 7.1 downloaded

I'm not sure what is causing it...But I cannot get my surround sound speakers working with ITunes since I down loaded 7.1. They all work with Windows media player. Is therre any setting I should be aware of?
Dell Dimension E510 Windows XP

I have the same problem and it is driving me crazy. I have an older logitech quadraphonic Z-560 speaker system that I love and have been using for years with never any problems, until I installed Itunes 7.
At first after the upgrade I was completely unable to play any file at all, which was later resolved by updating my SoundBlaster live Audigy card drivers. Now I can at least listen to music but only out of my front 2 speakers. I also noticed my QuickTime player does the same thing only playing out of the 2 front speakers. The issue only exists when trying to play audio through these 2 programs.
I have read all the posts on this issue that I could find yet have not been able to resolve it. I changed all the QuickTime, and creative settings appropriately for my hardware and no luck. I'm running the most current version of divers on windows XP with SP1.
Is it simply an incompatibility issue with my sound card?
PLEASE HELP with any advice!!!
Windows XP Pro

My sound/speakers recently stopped working.

I took in my macbook pro for a genius meeting and the man downloaded some software update and my speakers started working again, now they just stopped working for the second time. That's all i know. Can someone help?

Hello there, yousefghabour,
A great Knowledge base article for troubleshooting sound on your Macbook Pro would be the following:
Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1574
Since you've likely done all software updates at the Genius Bar, then the following from that article should be helpful:
Check your Sound System Preferences pane
If you are still having issues after you have confirmed the proper version of Mac OS X is installed, make sure the computer is set to play sound from the right source.
Remove any external audio devices and cables from the USB, FireWire, or 3.5 mm audio ports.
Open System Preferences from the Apple () menu, the Dock, or from the Applications folder on your hard drive.
Open the Sound pane and the Output tab, then select Internal Speakers as in this image:
If Internal Speakers is not an option proceed to step 4. For Mac Pro computers, proceed to step 5.
If Internal Speakers is present but not selected, select it and test again.
If the Output volume slider is low or the Mute box is selected, raise the volume slider or deselect the Mute box and test again.
If the issue continues through these steps and Internal Speakers remains the selected option proceed to step 5.
If the Internal Speakers option does not appear in the Output tab and your computer is not a Mac Pro, check that Digital Out is present as in the image below:
Confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
If you do not see a red light, proceed to step 5.
If the issues persist, contact Apple support for further troubleshooting assistance.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Sound check - turning off

a few weeks ago I selected sound check in the preferences menu and itunes spent some time making all the songs in my library the same volume, as it should do. However it has made some songs a bit too quiet, so I turned off the function in the preferences menu again.
1. Is there are a way of removing the sound check from all of my songs? (right click>Get Info> e.g. "Volume -10.6dB"
2. Why is it that when I add a new album to the library it says "Determining Song Volume" in the display even though sound check is off?

Never mind... somehow I moved the iTunes master volume down!!!! Argh!

Audigy 2 ZS - no sound, no vol ctrl, no "windows sounds" --Fixe

Ive tested the card in another system. The card worked a couple weeks ago fine, then I had to RMA my video card and so didnt use the system for awhile.. now that Ive reinstalled the video card.. no sound.
OS is XP Pro SP2.
Ive followed the "clean sweep install" procedures to the letter in the creative knowledgebase..
Ive installed the latest drivers for my card, downloaded them last night from the site..
I have no sound, though if I open the volume control through the Control Panel I can hear the level of faint background hiss go up n down if I raise and lower the volume.. In Sounds and Audio Devices, Show Volume Control in Taskbar is selected.. but theres no Volume Control in the system tray. The weird bit is, if I go to the Windows Sounds tab, the little play arrow at the bottom that would let me listen to the sample sounds is greyed out..
Device Manager tells me the Audigy WDM driver is operating ok..
suggestions please?
thanks,

In case someone ends up with the same problem I did.. and doesnt want to waste 5 hours hunting for the answer like I did..
This relates directly to no volume control appearing (despite turning the option on-off-on in Sounds and Audio Devices) and having --no windows noises-- ..

Problems loading generic Windows sound driver/Envy 14t-1000

Info: HP Envy 14t-1000 CTO, Windows 7 (updated to latest SP).
So, I recently tried updating my video drivers and unfortunately it messed with my audio settings (normally I'd do a system restore, but for whatever reason I forgot to create a restore point before updating...). At this point, I suspect that I accidentally re-installed the IDT High Definition Audio Codec, which leads me to my issue - I've been trying to uninstall Beats audio (and the IDT codec) and use the generic audio driver that comes with Windows, and have followed the instructions listed here:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/REMOVE-BEATS-AUDIO-LOAD-GENERIC-SOUND-DRIVE...
However, no matter what directions I follow, after rebooting, the IDT codec reinstalls (that is, even after unchecking IDT Audio from the list of start-up programs and uninstalling the codec in device manager) instead of the generic Windows sound driver and IDT Audio is back in the list of start-up programs; the result is that I'm still getting the same rubbish sound. Is there a solution to this? I'm assuming that there is in fact a generic audio driver that I can revert to?
Many thanks.

Connecting my MacBook Pro to my DVD Surround Sound Speakers?

I'm a student filmmaker in the UK and pretty much do all my video editing from my bedroom using Final Cut Studio. I am using a MacBook Pro3,1 (bought in 2007) and have recently decided that I want to start working in 5.1 surround sound.
As I have no surround sound speakers with my MacBook Pro, I was wondering if it would be possible to connect it up to my DVD surround sound system? This would ultimately save me having to buy a compatible set and having two lots of surround sound speakers around my room...
My DVD player is a Panasonic SC-PT150. The 6 surround sound speakers each connect to it through the standard +/- "clip-in" wire set up (which, obviously isn't compatible with my MacBook Pro). There are also two AUX sockets (one for Left and one for Right) on the back of the DVD player. So far, I have tried connecting my MacBook Pro to these sockets using a Mini plug to RCA cable, however, all I get is an incredibly loud humming noise.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might, either overcome this problem or, get the setup to work another way? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks both of you for your help.
It doesn't mention either of those connections in the manual, however, yes you are right, it takes digital input. I'll have to call and check if the toslink cable is compatible.
I tried connecting the mini-stereo-to-RCA cable to my Nokia phone (which is actually where the cable came from) and that plays through the DVD speakers just fine, when i select AUX mode. Although, as you said, it only plays stereo.
Say the mini-toslink cable is compatible, would I need to get a 5.1 surround sound card for my MBP?
Thanks again.

How do I tell Apple to fix their software like apps that play sound even though the sound is turned off and not being able to disable features you hate like game center

Apple is suppose to be the pinnacle of usability and, yet, I want to throw my new IPhone 4s as far as I can and watch is smash into a million pieces on concrete. Seriously, I've already got three things that irritate the **** out of me. First, there are Apple apps that insist on playing sound even though the sound is turned off. If I flick a switch to turn the sound off, I want the sound off!!!! Second, if I do not want a totally unnecessary feature like Game Center, I should be able to disable it. I completed most of the Angry Bird levels with 2 or 3 stars and now I have to start over from square one. Maybe, this happened when I upgraded to the 4s but it sure seemed to happen when I joined Game Center. Tomorrow, I am going to reset my 4s to factory defaults to try to get rid of my Game Center account. I don't want Game Center! I do need Game Center! I hate Game Center! Finally, I had an alarm go off to wake me up and there was a Snooze button but no button to turn the alarm off. I flicked the slider to access the main screen expecting to see something to turn the alarm off but there was nothing. The alarm just kept alarming. I had to warm boot my IPhone to shut the alarm off! Really, Apple!!!!

The sound is turned off. Only, some Apple apps like YouTube and Siri make sound when the sound is turned off. It is very embarrassing when this happens at work. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
Turning off game center does not work. The games just prompt me to sign in when they are started.I have tried everything I can find online to stop this behavior. It is annoying and should not happen. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
The alarm went off. There was a green thing that looked like a button but pressing it did nothing. There was a red button that said snooze. I did not want to snooze. I wanted to turn the alarm off. I slid the bar to unlock the phone and there were no running apps with a button to press. The alarm just keep running. I have not had this problem since it first occurred. The alarm now shuts off when I just unlock the phone. It may have happened because I had another alarm app running. The two may have interfered with each other. I would like to tell Apple about it.
It also annoys me that the button that closes apps leaves the phone app running. If I press on a number at 6:00 AM to get information about who called me, the phone automatically dials the person back and my natural reaction is to press on the button to close the phone app but the phone keeps dialing this person at 6:00 AM. It is a bad design. I would like to tell Apple about it.
Finally, I looked all over Apple's site to try to find someplace I could send them a polite message to let them know that I was not happy with these "features" but could not find anything. It is extremely frustrating to have issues with a product and not being able to tell the manufacturer about it. So, you grow up!.
When trying to fix the Game Center issue, I saw a link someone posted to report issues with the IPad to Apple. The answer I am looking for is where is the link to report issues with the IPhone.

Can no longer find Audition 3.0 Windows Sound

I have been using Audition 3.0 for quite some time. I use ASIO4all v2 audio driver most of the time and on occasion when I need to have more than one stream of audio at the same time recording something playing from the web) I switch to the Audition 3.0 Windows sound driver for direct sound. For some reason it (Audition 3.0 Windows sound) dissapeared from the driver selection box under audio hardware setup. According to device manager the sound card drivers are all installed and working properly. If I uninstall the ASIO driver and try to restart Audition, it says that it cannot find an audio device. When Audition is closed my system is running the realtek sound card driver and not the ASIO4all v2. For some reason it appears that audition cannot see the stock driver. Everything else on my system seems to be running normally.
Any advice on what to do would be appreciated as I have a lot of custom presets, so I would not like to uninstall and reinstall unless absolutely necessary.
Thanks!

If you go to the uninstaller, you'll find that there's a 'repair' option that does pretty much what it says on the tin. If you are running the 3.0.1 patch, you may have to re-run it afterwards - probably best to do this anyway. If you haven't installed the patch, then you should!
