Problem with mac os x lion audio mute and web video playback

I have a 15" MacBook Pro I7
Strangest thing started happening ever since I installed Adobe Masters Collection Trial Version CS6.
Randomly, and I can pinpoint exactly when, all of a sudden I will loose my sound. The muting goes off and I can't get it back on again no matter what I try. Then I loose web-video playback. Nothing will playback beyond 11 seconds. I followed all the support community advice on how to handle this situation with no luck. Resetting the SCM does nothing. The ONLY way I can fix it is with a re-install of Mac OS X Lion! I've reinstalled twice (fixed the problem both times) but the problem just keeps coming back.
I'm guessing it's a software issue of somesort but I'm not exactly sure what the problem is or how to fix it. Any advice?

Slight Update. I found a guy with my EXACT problem here. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4103108?start=0&tstart=0 Go to this discussion for further details.

Problem with Mac OS X Lion reinstall - Cannot install on server volume

Hi
I have a MacbookPro 2011 that has been upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard. I can log on and use the computer but I want to reinstall Lion and make a clean start. I have created a rcovery partition on an external drive and booted to this partition using the option command when re-booting. The Lion install process goes well until the screen which asks you to select the disk where you want to install Mac OS X Lion. The Macintosh HD drive is there, but I cannot select it as I get the following message with it:
You cannot install Mac OS X on a server volume. You need to use disk utility to erase this volume before you can continue to install Mac OS X.
I have no idea why the install is seeing my hard drive as a server volume. I just want to install OS X Lion, preferably using the archive and install option, on a standard MacbookPro. If I go ahead and erase the HD will I still be able to install Lion? How will Apple know that I have already paid for the Lion upgrade if the main HD is erased? I have already created a clone of the existing HD so I have a backup of all files I need.

Problem with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, the mac goes crazy!

I have a problem with mi imac g5 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) bought the last year.
During the last week the system are wrong because when I open a aplication like itunes, illustrator or another one like a simple navigator "Firefox", somethimes this goes crazy, the keyboard write diferent and the finder folder open and close really really slow, and sometimes not even that, and everything goes bad, so I have to close the session or to restart the computer, I already reinstall the software, but nothing goes better It´s the same...It`s really maddening because in the 5 hours more or less I have to restart 4 times! depend of the day...
I reed that The software Lion and Mountain Lion have many mistakes, it`s really?maybe it`s one of them?
Anyone have the same problem? Maybe I have to restart again all the computer with all the programs? Or someone Knows with is the problem and the answer?
Thanks a lot!
I hope you understand me...

Is OSX Lion not the same as OSX Mountain Lion?
Correct. You would need to upgrade to Mountain Lion to be able to utilitize AirPlay with your Apple TV.
Make sure your Mac can run Mountain Lion > System requirements for OS X Mountain Lion
Moutain Lion can be purchased from the Mac App Store - OS X Mountain Lion for $19.99 (U.S.)
A good way to discern one OS X from another is the version number.
Lion   OS X v10.7
Mountain Lion   OS X v10.8
To see which version your Mac has installed, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.

Magic Mouse Bluetooth connection problems with Mac OS X Lion

I've a problem with my Magic Mouse on bluetooth since I've updated my Mac to Lion, it's disconnecting too often. How to fix it ?

It might be a physical battery connection problem. The solution was already described by this article:http://macs.about.com/od/tipstricks/qt/Fix-Magic-Mouse-Disconnects.htm
Placing a trimmed piece on paper that was cut from a business card between the batteries and the battery-enclosure lid helps hold the batteries down firmly. This eliminates the tiny freeplay that allows a physical battery terminal disconnect when the mouse is jolted.

Strange problem with mac mini hdmi, denon avr 3310 and itunes

Hello,
I just bought the new mac mini with HDMI. It is connected via HDMI to my receiver Denon AVR 3310. The receiver shows that it has "multi channel in" on the display.
I made all the configurations so that i can watch dvd an the mac mini. When i play a movie with Dolby Digital the receiver does show that on the display and playback is possible without any problems. I hear sound on all my 5.1 speakers.
The big problem is with iTunes. When I want to watch rented series, for example Dr. House, only 2 speakers of my 5.1 are used. And when I change to surround in iTunes I can only hear static noise.
What is the problem? Did I make a wrong configuration or is something wrong with iTunes?
Thanks in advance

Great news! My Mac mini is sending true 5.1 to my reciever through the HDMI cable! Okay so here's my list of gear.
MAC MINI 2011 2.5 i5 8gb ram
Using a quality audioquest hdmi I have connected my Mac mini to my Denon 1712 Reciever. I have connected this hdmi cable into hdmi port entitled game 2. I have connect my reciever to my tv with a monster 1000 hdx thx certified hdmi cable. It has a transmission sped of 17 gb or so...meaning it can handle transmitting 3d...if only I had a 3d tv.
Okay so that's the gear. Now onto the changes in audio midi. Open audio midi and Simply change it to 48000 hz and to 2 channel 16 bit integer. That's all I did and now it works. Before I had it set to 8 channel 24 bit and when I pulled up my surround sound options I could pretty much only get multi channel stereo. Now I can get several Dolby choices.
The voices are coming out of the center speaker and all the action is coming out of the other speakers....so in other words 5.1 surround sound has been achieved on my Mac mini 2011 which has Lion on it.
I have tested this with iTunes and Netflix. Both are in 5.1 and sound great. In iTunes I have tested both music and digital copies of movies. Both worked flawlessly.
Rejoice Mac mini owners 5.1 surround is now possible over your Mac mini 2011 edition with just an hdmi cable to your reciever. You can throw away that toslink cable becuase now you don't need it!
I hope this works for you. Remember not all hdmi cables and the same holds true for your reciever. If it does not work consider getting either audioquest or monster....everything else is junk.

Problems with the combination Mountain Lion, Parallels 8 and VPN

Hi there,
Have performed an straightforward upgrade of the OS X to Mountain Lion and Parallels I have have a problem keeping the vpn connection for more than an hour.
In order to get a the connection reetablished I need to restart the windows session in Parallels.
Is there any one else facing the same problem?

Problem with a new install: X, Radeon 4650, and xf86-video-ati

Hi guys,
I am trying to setup a new install here but am getting stuck at X (I have been following the beginners guide).
Everything is stock (kernel, not [testing], etc.).
I have a ATI Radeon HD 4650 and am using the xf86-video-ati driver. I want to use dual monitors with this card (one 1920x1080 and another 1680x1050), but as far as I can tell, this is not the root of the problem. KMS is enabled by default and works well (with the exception of some slight artifacts on the 1080p monitor). I have tried to disable KMS but to no avail. But here is the essence of my situtaion:
Note: Yes, hal & dbus are both running.
Running X as root without Xorg.conf: Mirrored at 1680x1050
Running X as root with Xorg.conf: Black screens
Running X as normal without Xorg.conf: Mirrored at 1680x1050
Running X as normal with Xorg.conf: Black screens
Note: The Xorg.conf is being taken from X -configure as well as taken from Xorg.0.log
My /var/log/Xorg.0.log can be found here: http://pastebin.ca/1877044 (after attempting to run X as a normal user without Xorg.conf)
Why can't I use a xorg.conf? How can I setup dual displays at their native resolutions?
Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated!

oh boy ...been in your exact situation before. I have a radeon 4890 HD. Very easy to get running the way you want it, once you know the steps to take of course.
btw, I've ALWAYS found it easier to run X with an xorg.conf file.
The way you go about setting up a dual head radeon card is actually very simple.
First, delete your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file if you have one.
Second, run "sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head"
Third, make sure the fglrx module is mentioned in your rc.conf file under modules.
aticonfig will then create a new xorg.conf file for you that will work with your dual head.
A few tweaks to the xorg.conf file before you start x:
Decide whether you would like to run Xinerama or not. Xinerama may or may not have any benefits, but I've had much more success by keeping it off.
You do that by:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "Xinerama" "off"
EndSection
Make sure 'Load "dri2"' and 'Load "dri"' are commented out under section 'module'
Lastly, specify your display size under Section "Screen" (you should have two screen sections)
Do this by adding Modes "1920x1080" under each SubSection "Display" .... or just take a shortcut and put it under the last subsection like I did.
Do it again for the your other screen section.
You are going to make a "virtual" screen, which would exist if your two physical screens were joined into one big one.
So put under your second "screen" section, Virtual 3360 3360 (I have two 1680x1050 monitors)

After I updated lion to 10.7.4, app store does not recognize my ID APPLE and it unable to connect me to app store in order to update/download apps? What have I to do? I have the same problem with mac mini e mac book air. Please help me!

After I updated lion to 10.7.4, app store does not recognize my ID APPLE and it unable to connect me to app store in order to update/download apps? What have I to do? I have the same problem with mac mini e mac book air. Please help me!

Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...

I no longer have sound when playing my clips through adobe premiere elements 12. How to I correct this problem? I have checked all audio levels and there is no mute on etc. I have updated to 12.1. Still no sound.

I no longer have sound when playing my clips through adobe premiere elements 12. How to I correct this problem? I have checked all audio levels and there is no mute on etc. I updated to 12.1, but still no sound in any clips. Even not on old files which used to work.

bfun
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on? Can we assume that this audio plays back OK
on the same computer when you are using a computer player independent of Premiere Elements?
What are the properties of these clips that worked before but do not know with regard to sound
For now, I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
Have you checked the Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO settings? Do you have any 3rd party audio devices incorporated in your computer environment?
Please delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if that does not work, then the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. The Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit path is
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and, in the 12.0 Folder, is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives" active so that you can see the complete path cited.
Do you have installation files or installation disc with the purchased serial number in case we need to resort to uninstall/reinstall?
We will be watching for your follow up.

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine.
installed new internal disk first with fresh 10.7.3 Lion software. Also upgrade ram to 4GB. Work great, super fast.
BUT.... my WD 1TB firewire400 external disks no longer work with the Lion enabled machine now.
FURTHER... I read somewhere that WD is problematic with Lion but Seagate was not... so I went and bought a new 3TB Seagate GoFlex.
When it didnt work properly either, I patiently searched and found a software/firward upgrade and applied.
I re-partitioned disk to extened/journaled standard, etc.
Then assigned the particition to Time Machine. Drive turned the blue/grey color, so I thought it would work.
But, it has now been in "preparing" mode in Time Machine for HOURS....
What is up Apple? So dissappointed. Ive read these type of problems are notorious with Lion and I wish I never upgraded.
Are you trying to make issues with External disks, to drive people to iCloud? That trick ont work in me. I will not reward bad behaviour Apple.
Please provide a fix... I wasted hours/days screwing around with this, instead of using the Mac for what its intended!

Solved by Pondini, on another thread I opened...
Answer:
Sounds like either:
A directory problem on your internal HD. Verify your internal HD, and Repair any other volumes being backed-up per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Something in OSX may be damaged. You've tried the "combo," so a fresh copy of OSX (that won't disturb anything else) would be worth a try (and you don't need a tech for that). See Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX.

Cisco Connect does not run with Mac OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

When I first installed Cisco Connect that came with my E1500 router, I was running Mac OSX Snow Leopard (10.7) and it worked fine. I upgraded my OSX to Mountain Lion and now when I start Cisco Connect, I get:
Unsupported operating system
The router software supports these operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later
- Mac OS X 10.6.1 or later
- Mac OS X 10.7 or later
I saw some other thread/info/download on Cisco Connect with Lion (10.7) but nothing for Moutain Lion (10.8) - is there a fix forthcoming?
Thanks
Gary

All i want to do is disable the guest function through cisco. i live in an apartment and everyone logs into my guest account. i was at my neighbours and they were laughing saying they done need to subscribe for the internet cause they just log onto local wi fi. and mine is one of them. i dont know if that'll slow down my internet with so many people using it. but all i want to do is just avoid it all together and get rid of it. but in this case i am having the same problem as all of you. to disable the guest function you need to go through cisco connect and it is not compatible with mac osx mountain lion. grrrrrrr

AD account Login problem with MAC 10.6.8

Hi All,
We have around 50 odd MAC that are connected to windows server 2008 R2. the user were logining in to these MACs using their AD account. Recently few of the random MAC did not allow the user to login using their AD account.When analyzed though the MAC shows that it has connected to the Domain and the server is active with green button it has unbind itself from the server.I had to login in as local user bind the MAC back to get this resolved.
Now the same has started happeneing for most of the MAC that we have and every morning I have login as local Admin and unbind / bind the MAC with the server. this gets reset once the user reboots or shutsdown.
Have tried with few of the below solution but nothing helped:
Solution 1:
<key>mdns_timeout</key>
<integer>2</integer>
The integer value is in seconds; changing it to at least 5 should allow the Mac OS X client to reconnect to the Active Directory domain after a network interruption. In some configurations, a larger timeout value may be required.
You can change this value by using the sudo command and a text editor to edit the preference file directly. Or you can use the Terminal command below, making sure to enter it all on a single line:
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set :mdns_timeout 5' /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/IPMonitor.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
Solution 2:
I have seen all of the probable solutions and tried everything and still I am getting issues with 10.6.6 and after rebooting the Mac gets unbind. Or the Mac gets Network Accounts Available even when not accessing the list of users from AD. But the thing that I have done that has solved all my issues with AD on the Macs is to uncheck the box to search on all domains. For some reason I am seeing that when the Macs have this option checked, it searches through out the forest on the same domain controller more than once, so AD stops the handshaking of the authentication.
I hope this helps like it did on our Network, since then I have not seen the Macs lose the binding or slow SMB.
If you've tried this please let us know.
TIP: Uncheck Allow Authentication from any domain for Mac AD problems
Wednesday, April 20, 2011
Steven Wells sent a fix and an explanation of problems with Macs losing their binding to Active Diretory:
Unchecking "Allow authentication from any domain in the forest" is working at our college. We have been beating our heads on this for about 2 terms, with no understanding of why it works in some places and not in others. When we found this working, our IT guy said that the Security SID is being duplicated, when it looks in other domain forest, and that is what is causing the problem. This is the first time I have found an explanation for the problem.
If you've tried this approach please let us know.
Solution 3:
Solved it. Create a file in Textedit with the name 'auto_master' (no file extension) with the following contents:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master # Use directory service
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
#/Network/Servers -fstab
/- -static
Place this in /etc/ folder
Hope this helps

TIP: a Kerberos fix for OS X 10.5 and 10.6 binding to Active directory
Friday, November 11, 2011
Mehdi Mafi forwarded a fix he found for problems with Leopard and Snow Leopard binding to Active Directory:
This was taken from Dane Riley's imaging building for DeployStudio.
With Mac OS X Leopard every Mac is now running a KDC (Kerberos Distribution Center). Basically each imaged machine is using the same security certificate and hash. Deploying a single image will deploy the same KDC to every system. This [Apple] article covers how to reset the local KDC so that each system is unique. Basically, do the following:
Launch Keychain Access
Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
After deployment, perhaps using Apple Remote Desktop to all systems, re- establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
If you've tried this approach with Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, or even Lion, please let us know. .
TIP: More on a kerberos fix for AD binding problems
Monday, November 14, 2011
Mehdi Mafi updated his Friday report about Mac OS X 10.6 problems binding to Active Directory:
You may want to add this. If the Mac keeps unbinding from AD (people can't log in to a Mac), here is how to fix it:
Unbind it from Domain
Launch Keychain Access
Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
Re-establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
Bind it to domain again ( When you bind, uncheck allow authentication from any domain in the forest in: Directory Utilitiy-> Advanced Options\Administrative ) this fix the issue that sometimes it can' find AD under search space.
If you tried this please let us know.
Solution 5:
For Snow Leopard AD login issues, use upper case domain
Solution 6: for .local

Obviously you'll need to change "middlewich.local" to your own domain name (and the network interface name if your connection is wireless). The script checks to see if it can see the user "Administrator" on the domain, as he's a fairly common bloke, but if you've renamed yours for security reasons then pick another one. I've also included some logging functionality for debug purposes, so you can verify how well the script is working if you need to and time it in your environment before telling the users how long to wait. The /var/log/FixADAuth.log file will contain the date/time the process started, the success variable set to 1 (just to verify), how many DNS operations were required to fix the problem, and the date/time it ended. For us the time difference is normally about +30-40 seconds with around 120-180 operations taking place. Once you're happy with the script, you can strip it down to its bare functionality if you like, like so for us:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.common
AuthSuccess=0
while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
do
id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local
done
I hope this helps someone!

PDF edits with Mac OS X Lion Aperçu don't show up on iPad: anyone with this issue?

I am using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Lion, and an iPad 2 with iOS 5. If I edit PDF files with Aperçu, the drawings or texts I have added do not display on the iPad 2. Is this a known Apple bug? Does anyone else have this problem?

Actually, it is in iBooks that I have this problem with PDF files that have been edited with Aperçu. With iPad Safari, the PDF edits are displayed correctly, through Google docs PDF viewer; I have not tried with iPad Safari independantly from Google docs, but I think it won't work. It does not work in iPad mail for such edited PDF files that are attached to a message.

Email Problem with Mac

Hi, I am new to FIOS so I hope this is the proper board to post in. I set up 2 subaccounts for verizon.net email and configured them for my Mac Mail program. Everything worked well for about 2 days, and all of a sudden the Mail program keeps asking for my password (even though it was saved in my Mail settings) and says the the incoming mail server is offline. I've Googled this issue and see that others have posted about the same authentication error. Has anyone else here experienced - and solved - this problem? Thanks.

I am having the same problems with Mac eMail. I have two Macs, one that is running Lion and the other is running Snow Leopard. I have spent days on the phone with Apple and Verizon and they are blaming each other and neither have a solution. Have you been able to get a response? It looks like this is something that happens from time to time but never really gets fixed.
Please let me know if there has been a fix since the Mac Mail update in July? With the Union Issues Verizon doesn't have enough people to address the issues both in person ( I had a tech come to the house and he didn't know anything about software ) or on the phone. They keep kicking it back to Apple. I also have a couple iPhones and both are working fine. So this seems to be OS X specific. I've had Macs and iPhones for 3 years or more.
Just makes me think something was done to the mail servers they didn't get correct.
