Popping when new sound comes through, with Bose companion speakers.

I've used the Bose companion speakers for years with my 17" PowerBook and they were fine. Now, connected to my new 24" iMac they "pop" just before a new sound comes through, i.e. mail message coming in etc. I've connected them to my husband's 24" iMac and same deal. Apple has no idea why, and it's driving me nuts.

Just came from the Apple store, told the same story to one of the guys there who use to work in a recording studio. He knew what I was talking about. Now I've talked to Apple Care twice, Bose once, no answers. But this guy suggested a USB device, like an iMic which I happened to have so I gave it a try and so far, NO POPPING. I have my fingers crossed, but it seems to be working. I have the speakers plugged into the iMic, the iMic plugged into a USB port.
Bottom line, this is screwed up, I shouldn't have to do this work around. Apple has to know about the problem. But until they own up to it at least now I'm not going nuts with this noise. At least I hope not. I'll post again if I'm wrong.

HT204291 picture shows on my tv when but sound comes through the mac

Can you help?
When I switch on airplay mirroring through my mac book the picture shows fine but the sound comes through my mac and not the TV. Any suggestions?
Thanks

The mac can output sound as an electrical signal or optical from the Audio Out port (the headphone port). You can decide which kind to use based on what your TV takes.
If it has RCA inputs then you should use a cable that is 1/8" jack-to-RCA. :
If the TV has SPD/IF inputs then you will want to get an optical cable (SPDIF on both ends and get the 1/8" adapter):
I hope this helps

After XP downgrade, sound comes through both headphones and speakers

Hi Forum Family,
I recently downgraded my Pavilion dv2615nr from Vista to Windows XP. Managed to install all the drivers and then followed advice from CherylG (to whom I owe my ability to do anything with this laptop, frankly) to get the sound working.
My remaining problem is that plugging in my headphones doesn't cut off the sound through my speakers.
I have tried reinstalling the drivers following Cheryl G's advice but it returns me to the same problem.
Can anyone help a newbie?
This question was solved.

That driver is known good and I used it in my notebook (see my sig)
However, that driver have poor quality when I use mic for chatting.
Try modded driver from Toshiba driver Here

Connecting my iPhone 4S with 3rd party composite cable; error "accessory not supported by iphone". Sound comes through and it charges but NO Video??? I have verified the cable, I can play video with sound from iPod Nano 4th gen.

composite don't support mirror so it will only display on the tv when the app being used support tvout option

Surely somebody knows what the problem is? Anybody.

The auxillary jack on my Itouch does not allow sound to come through with headphones, though it works in a dock as well as external speakers. How can I fix this?

You can try the standard fixes of reset, restore from backup and restore to factory defaults to rule out a hsoftware proble. Frequently it is to to a problem with the eadphone jack and the solution is to replace the jack.

where can I download new mail sound when new mail comes in?

where can I download new mail sound when new mail comes in?
Thank you,
BigBlaze

Go to Mail Preferences, use the drop-down "new mail sounds". The very last option is ADD/REMOVE. You can choose a sound that will be copied to your own User Library.
To find how many sounds you already have on the computer (TONS if you have any games) just to a search the computer for aiff or aif. Copy the file you like to the desktop so you can find it easily, and add it using the above instructions.
The sound gets copied to your library, so you can delete the desktop file when you're done.

When I try to download something from Safari a new tab comes up with a grey screen?

I use Safari 4.1.3 and whenever I go to download something, a new tab comes up with a grey screen. It doesn't load anything, it just stays there. How do I fix this? And when I go to Activity, it says in red letters plug-in cancelled? Please help?

Hi,
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Safari folder.
Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. See if that made a difference.

nothing will be screwed up.
but, if it makes you feel better, do this:
download the iTunes standalone installer
reboot into safe mode
run a permission repair session using disk utility
run the installer
let the Mac reboot normally

I use Canon 5DMk3 for videos in A/F mode. When will Canon come out with a quality STM lens?Tad

When will Canon come out with a quality lens with STM phase focusing for Canon 5DMk3? I shoot mostly videos. in A/F/
The 1.2.1 firmware update didn't do it.
Tad

Yes, sorry. I did realize I didn't specify exactly what I shoot.
I do a lot of car-related things. Car photoshoots, races, etc. I'd like to delve into portraits and such more upcoming too.
The races are easy to do, so long as you have a fast camera and a good lens. Even going from my old Nikon D60 to the faster Canon 60D proved very helpful. I am also pretty good at the focus pan where you move with said object to blur the background.
My real issue with the crop sensor cameras thus far have been the noise levels. I do a lot of shooting in low-light. But I figure a couple proper lenses a good tripod, and some time experimenting could help that.
I do like the idea of the T5i as it's so cheap. At only $600 on the body, that would give me plenty of wiggle room to fund proper lenses. And I suppose that if I went that route, I could always just end up picking up a 7DII as my go-to when released, since the T5i will obviously have it's limitations.
But at the same time, going right for the 70D would also be a solid choice as to it's benefits, larger sizing, etc.
Although I'd love a 6D, it's probably better that I stay away from FF for now until I get steady pay from shoots. I know me, and I'd take myself broke buying proper lenses.
The 60D seems like it's still a good choice, but kinda going backwards from the others. And the 7D, same thing. Although still a great camera, it seems to (at least for me) have the negatives outweigh the positives at it's price point.
So it seems like it's been narrowed down to the T5i and the 70D.
FYI, I don't have a ton up yet as it's been recently created, but feel free to check out my page for a couple references of what I shoot. It's below.
Also, on Instagram, I'm "averagewhiteboy" as well. I have a Flickr Pro account too, but I don't think I've updated it since going Canon.

I purchased Lightroom 5 in December 2014. It was my understanding that I would get free upgrades when new versions come out. I attempted to download LR 6 and it said that the download was happening but there was no progress bar showing. I left the downloading screen open for 3 hours but nothing happened.

Robert,
You can purchase Lightroom 6 as a part of the creative cloud photography package, part of creative cloud, as a stand alone product or as a product upgrade.
If you purchased lightroom 5 as a perpetual product rather than the creative cloud, you would need to purchase an upgrade to Lightroom 6. Udpates are free for stand alone versions, but upgrades need to be purchased.
If you need to purchase an upgrade to a perpetual license that you downloaded or purchased at a store, see this link: Products . Scroll down to lightroom and click "buy". Click on the selectable text by " I want to: "and select "upgrade".
If you are trying to install Lightroom CC 2016 as a part of a creative cloud subscription, you should be able to download and install Lightroom CC 2015 from the Creative Cloud site. Since Lightroom CC is a new product, it will not show as an update in the Adobe Application Manager. Instead, press the install button next to Lightroom in the Application manager. If you don't see "install" by Lightroom in the application manager, please first try signing out and back in: sign in and sign out of the Creative Cloud desktop app
If you still have issues, see option 2 in this link:
Lightroom doesn't launch or quits automatically after splash screen

Pattie

Does any one know when they'll come out with a bigger capacity ipod touch?

I really like the iPod touch, but 16GB just doesn't cut it for me. Does anyone know if and when they'll come out with a bigger capacity iPod Touch?

I'm with you. I don't need the iPhone, but I'd love the iPod touch -- if it had a larger capacity drive. My current iPod has at least 20 gb of songs, iPhoto libraries, calendar, email, home movie videos.....same with my laptop, which, in turn, I sync to my Apple TV.......if iPhone and iPod are going to interface with our other Mac products, both will need much larger drives.
ALSO: Does the iPod Touch Contacts/Address Book resolve the "birthday" problem on the earlier iPods. When you important contact information from other databases (like filemaker pro, etc), Address Book imports/receives just about any type of data field -- except birthdays. I use AddressBook importer to convert my FilemakerPro files into a format that Address Book can important. All the fields map -- when the importing is done, Address Book simply skips birthday fields. Doesn't make sense. A birthday field is just a date field.....Is that the problem? -- david c in KC

Bose Companion Speakers not recognized

My son has a set of Bose Companion Speakers that are not recognized with his macbook, but his brother's macbook does recognize them and they work fine. Any ideas as to why the one macbook no longer can recognize the speakers, it did at on time.
Thanks

You say that other speakers are recognized on this Mac.
Do you mean other USB speakers or other analog type speakers that plug into the speaker jack?
If it is the later, does your Mac have a red light showing inside the speaker jack? If so, the problem is with a switch integral to that jack. If not red light, I don't know what is wrong.
Try logging into your computer in another User Account. Create one if need be. This will help rule out the possibility of corrupt software in your main user account. It is very unlikely that a driver went bad or got removed. This is a Mac and that just doesn't happen unless someone literally removed files from the System folder or other Library folder, and you would know if you did that.
