Pop ichat sound is missing HELP!! Please

ok so i just noticed that my ichat sound when im in a video chat has disappeared. its been missing for like 4 days, and i havent been able to fix the problem.
im not talking about the main sound. im talking about the pop noise.
so if anybody could help me fixed this it would be much appreciated

And in System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects what is the volume set for the Alerts ?
Take iTunes for Instance.
You can turn the Master volume of the computer Up or Down using the Keyboard or in System Preferences > Sound (Any tab) and the Output volume at the bottom.
Or you can use the iTune interface to turn it up.
The same is true of Alerts except the control is in the System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effect tab.
I have not tried the CoreAudio Force Quit in Activity Monitor.
If it persists I normally delete com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist from inside Hard Drive/Library/Preferences and restart the computer.
The particular Preferences folder holds System Wide Preferences rather than personal ones. (Hard Drive/Users/(Your account name)/Library/Preference).
You will have to go to the Hard Drive/Library/Preferences manually by clicking through the folders as Spotlight does not report on this Library folder.

Sound problems! help please

My right earbud has not been working for several days, I checked the earbuds and they work-so I know for sure thats not the problem. I just finished restoring it and the right side still doesn't work. I have no idea what to do now, help please! Thanks

Oh dear i have heard this one before its not good news what has happened it when you plug your earphones into iPod the earphones must obviously touch all connectors and what can happen to the odd person out is the tip of your earphones,
(The right ear) can push the ipod jack connector forward so now the tip cant reach the connector, yet the bottom and middle connectors cant be pushed in because they are on the side, not the end, this is something you need to take up with apple support if your iPod is still under warrenty

User Settings Suddenly Missing - Help Please

Greetings!
I have an iMac G5 Rev B running 10.4.2. Yesterday, everything was running fine. I only did some Web surfing and e-mail, didn't install anything. I quit the open programs, logged out, then shut-down the system last night. This morning, it came up okay. I logged into my admin user account, the only account on this system, and noticed my wallpaper had been reset to the system default. Also, the dock was not as I had set it. I reset the wallpaper photo and dock settings, then started Mail. Mail came up as if it had not been run before, wanting to run through the set-up proceedure. I quit it, and began to wonder what had happened. I checked Dashboard, and it only had the default widgets installed, none of the others I've installed in the past.
I've searched the forum, but haven't found a solution yet. I've run MacJanitor and have repaired disk permissions. I've restarted in Safe Mode, but still have the problem. I am not running File Vault. As far as I can tell, I have not changed the name of the home folder (I certainly didn't try to at any time). I only see my home folder and the Shared folder under Users.
I've been using Macs for a few years now, but am still new to troubleshooting them. Not sure what to do. I'm of course hoping to recover my user account and data. I can see the iPhoto and iTunes libraries, but not sure I can see Mail's local mail file, or Safari's bookmarks.
Any advice and guidance will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Gary

To clarify a bit, I haven't opened iPhoto or iTunes, but can see the data files in Finder. The Mail and Safari data files seem to be missing. I opened Safari for the first time to respond to your post (originally posted my support query from my work PC), and as I suspected, my bookmarks are missing. It's as if I'm in a new user account. Very strange indeed! I'm hopeful the good folks here can help me resolve this problem and regain control of my user account and data.
Thanks!

Premiere Pro CC audio pops then cuts out. HELP PLEASE.

Driving me nuts...
Read all the forums. Tried reinstalling, deleting .cfs files, changing audio inputs, everything.
What is happening is that when I play back, the audio will "pop" (like feedback, loud, distorted, sounds like its hurting my speakers) then just not play anything. Levels monitor will be firing away, waveforms are there. Matching back to source monitor does nothing. Totally silent.
When I quit I hear another pop as the program exits.
The rest of the computer has sound functions (iTunes, internet, everything)
Anyone?
Macbook pro 2011 - 10.8 - 16 gigs of ram - playing off secondary internal SSD drive. 4 tracks of sync sound. Thanks.
PS - just noticed a little warning triangle at the bottom right of the program that says "Audio Dropout Detected at 1:11.442 in Adobe Player" - no idea what the hell that means.
PSS - I have a feeling its because of the video. I'm editing RED (4k) - when the video is just on one track its no problem, but as soon as I put it above another clip, then it pops and cuts out.

I dropped 8K on a new mac pro, thinking, foolishly, to just throw some computing power at it...
My friends, Adobe just hates macs.
Both my D700 GPUs are kinda useless to Premiere. nVidia won and I guess Adobe could give two sh*ts about anyone on a new mac. I was hoping to go to premiere after Apple decided to drop FCP. What's amazing, as a commercial editor in NYC, EVERYONE was either on FCP or Avid (much more FCP) so there was lots of business to pick up... but the more I talk to people, and stories like this get shared, the more people are moving over to Avid, even FCPX if you can stomach it. Such a shame because AE, PS and the rest should work so nicely together... they just couldn't make it easy for non nVidia people or mac people.
I've tried contacting them (I'm even on their customer review panel) but no one seems to be able to patch this up. I've done 2 clean installs on my new mac, because I've gotten to the point that every premiere freezes, its a restart. Unreal. Been editing for 10 years and never had problems like this... even when we started putting Avid on a mac.
Failed and quite pissed. Not for nothing Adobe, if you're listening, I've got a real mind to use every piece of my social media platform to bring this to your attention - this program has wasted so much of my time (and money, jeebus) that it's almost immoral what's been going on.

IPhone sound problem! Help please

I bought a brand new iphone 4s yesterday, and downloaded the awesome new game Jetpack Joyride. But after playing it for a few hours, the sound effects stopped working. The music continues on, but there's no more sound. I checked if the sound was turned on in the game options and it was.
So i reinstalled the game and everything was all good, until somebody calls me. After we hung up, the sound effects dissapeared again!! My other games all have perfect sound, only Jetpack Joyride has issues.
I know my problem seems pretty insignificant, but the main reason I purchased an iphone was for the portable gaming. And having no sound effects on my favorite game really throws me off.
So please, if anyone knows how to fix this problem it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!!

i was just having the same problem, iphone 4s only a couple weeks old, game was working fine yesterday until i was on the phone using the head set. i just turned my phone on and off. problem solved hope it works for you!

Gymnasium sound needs work, Help please.

alright, my question is simple. For my School I need to do a senior project so that I can graduate. I didn't know what to do until I was warming up for basketball, and it hit me. The sound system was way to fuzzy and didn't sound the best. so I decided I was going to get the money for a new system.
Enough about me though, here's what I need help with. I can't decide what a good system would be, since I don't know mcuh(I mean I could hook them up and get them wroking.) other than that I don't know what brand makes the best kind of speakers. So can anyone help me by giving ideas. I preferably need ceiling speakers.

Welcome RK!
I would like to inform everyone that Best Buy® does sell professional audio equipment in our stores equipped with our Musical Instruments (MI) section. The number of stores to have Musical Instruments is growing rapidly. Currently at 84. Check with the local stores to see if they have MI or if they know the nearest location that does.
Depending on the size of the gym, the setup could vary. The problem with gyms is they are always an echo zone. Positioning is the most important aspect of a gym sound design. Keep in mind how many people could be in the gym at a time. Are there bleachers or roll out seating? If there is often many spectators (for games) then you have to take into account how many people that could be. The more bodies, the more power needed.
I would suggest involving a professional. See if you have a MI section at your local Best Buy® store and if not then try to find an audio/visual shop in your area. If you ask technicians that do any theatrical design they should be able to suggest a place to go. If your school has a theatre department then their techs will probably know of a local place that has audio/lighting supplies. Often times the same shops that sell pro audio and lighting also can install and build designs.
Thanks for posting! Good luck upgrading the sound!

Can not change sound output. Help Please

Well, i've been digging all the forums lately in web. my problem is, i can't change my 'system' sound output to my sound card which is Native Instruments Audio8 Dj.
Let me explain my problem decently. I do the usual procedure, system preferences > sound > n then select the output. but nothing happens. it is always set on internal speakers or headphone or whatever plugged in to the *Built-in Output*. I try switching from audio-midi setup n that doesn't work as well. The system perfectly recognizes the sound card, i can get output from sound card with applications which have their own output settings. But i cant change the system output. I have the latest version of soundflower loaded(this might be causing the problem who knows), i used many soundcards before(or maybe even ex-drivers?) n they used to work until i updated to snow leopard. I also tried trashing the files in macintosh hd > library > preferences > audio >>
and those files *did not regenerate* after restart(like 10 times), so i had to copy them from my imac.(hehe). i tried resetting pram or nvram.(didn't do any good too)And also i tried trashing soundpref.plist which didn't do me any good neither. Now i need that sound card to give me my system output. I don't need drivers of any other ex-sound cards or whatever. My drivers are up to date. And im pretty sure this ain't an hardware fail.
So, any ideas? Thx.

I am having the exact same problem. I have spoken with Apple Care and they are having my case reviewed by "Engineers," apparently. Its very frustrating as I cannot listen to iTunes or any of my video games through my really nice monitor speakers. FYI, I had this problem without installing Sound Flower, since then I have installed it in the hopes that having something different to select it might work but no changes. If I hear any good news from Apple I will be back to let you know. This seems to be a very rare problem as I have only found one other post about this issue.

Moved user - files missing - help please

My hard drive is about full so I installed a second, much bigger drive. I want to keep the small drive as the boot drive and use the new drive for data. So..... I moved the user files to the new drive. Now lots of file, most importantly some pictures, are missing. How do I tell the system where to look?
Thank You

I have not continued to use the computer at all. I shut it down when I discovered the problem and have been using a different computer to access these boards.
How did I end up with empty folders? I don't know, doesn't make sense to me. All I can tell you is what I did.
First I moved the entire user folder from the small drive to the large drive. Then I spot checked folders and files inside the user folder hierarchy on the large drive.
When everything appeard to be there, I deleted the user folder on the small drive and shut down the computer.
Later, I discovered the empty folders on the large drive.
So, after attempting data recovery, I probably will reinstall the system. That brings me to a whole new set of questions.
How do I change where Safari, or FireFox writes the cache?
How do I change where the OS X diskUtility save data in preparation to burn a disk?
How do I install the system so that the system files and possibly the applications and utilites are on the small drive, but all data files, including the user folders and all cacheing files, are on the large drive?
What data recovery and/or disk maintenance software do you recommend? ( I can't see the link you mentioned.)
I'm familiar with Unix, but forget it underlies OS X. Else I might not have tried to just move the user folder.
Thanks
Thanks

Red Box: Poster Frames missing - Help please

Directing/Editing a feature documentary.
I have come home from my trip to NYC to find about 5% of my poster frames in my assorted timelines are now red boxes...Is there a global way to reset this so that all my poster frames come back?...I have tried by Safe and Unlimited under the RT button in the assorted timelines, but that does not seem to make a difference.
I'd be grateful for your immediate advice.

Welcome to the family.
Open the manual or the online help system, look in the index for reconnect media.
That should do it but you haven't supplied much information.

IPhone 4 no sound at all help please

Basically Iv got a iPhone 4 iOS 5.1.1 and I dropped it and broke the back I got the back fixed and now to find my speakers or mic don't work at all the bottom one crackles some times Iv blown it out with air and still no luck ??? :(

Seems like your choices are to either restore as new (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137) or have the Apple Store evaluate it to see if it's a hardware issue first. If you choose to restore as new be sure to save any Camera Roll photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and backup your contacts, either in a supported client (Outlook 2003/2007/2010, Mac Address Book, etc) or using an app like My Contacts Backup, before wiping your phone since these are not included in your iTunes library. Good luck!

VIRUS PROBLEMS, HELP PLEASE???

I continue to have messages popping up saying my computer is infected. It wants me to cleanup and I have to register with Mac Shield 2.6. Pronograhic websites keep popping up. Anyone having this problem? Did not have this problem yesterday, but it's here today! There is also a Red Sheild on the top of the toolbar where it shows the time, battery life, etc. Right clicking on the sheild drops down Scan Now, Cleanup, Control Center, Scan, System Info, Settings, About, and Register. A pron site just popped up again! Need help Please!!

The Mac Shield malware can come through Firefox too if you allow it to and you click on it!
Your exactly right, it is possible that if you visit a site and need the scripts to run for something that the malware that uses Javascript is on that site, then your going to be presented with it.
The thing is with the Firefox + NoScript combination defeats alot of the web side trickery the malware authors are using to get the malware to appear in the first place.
Also this "MacDefender" isn't the only malware making the rounds. There are some serious Flash vulnerabilities being hosted on hostile/adult websites that are running scripts for no apparent reason other than to try to infect your machine.
By running all scripts all the time, your computer is in a state as if you tried running across a busy highway blindfolded.
As a lifelong "MacHead" I can understand Apple loyalty, but if Apple isn't cutting the mustard on their browser security, rather place their users security at serious risk for the sake of convenience, then I have to think about using and recommending to others something else that is more secure.
As a example, I surf thousands of web pages a day, some on really nasty sites, yet I haven't seen this "MacDefender" appear on my computer. Even when I purposely visited links that people have submitted that had the malware. (I maintain a couple of bootable clones of my boot drive just in case)

Hi there ajsupprt,
It sounds like you may need to update the version of Java installed on your computer. Take a look at the article below for more information.

How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear. Help please!

How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear. Help please!

As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message.
