Problem with sound since update with 10.4.9 (no problem with with 10.4.7)

Since i update with 10.4.9, I observe some problems with sound that I don't observe with 10.4.7 on an old partition:
1. no more sound when opening excel file with office
2. no more sound with files .rm opened with realplayer
3. no more sound with files .wmv opened with lecteur windows media player.
Ths files are opened normally with 10.4.7 that I conserved on an other partition.

Welcome to Apple Discussion!
This is a well known bug with the optical audio based Macs with a very simple fix:

Hopefully that's the one you encountered.

Problem with sound after update

Hello
After update to 11.3 I have no bass sound in subwoofer in Firefox browser (youtube). I uninstall the newest version and install previous (11.2) and bass plays ok.
My os: Windows 7 x64. Sound card Creative X-fi.

Hello!
My problem is summed up in this topic.
Updated Flash Player with 11.3 this morning (june 12th 2012) and since then my 7.1 Sound System works only 2.1. If i enable EAX Effects, works on 7.1 but since it`s just a room it sounds very odd.
I have no problem with sound on HTML 5 websites for that matter, Winamp, Video Players, games.
Uninstalled Flash Player, sounds work ok without it on different browsers, other than Chrome (since it has FP built in).
I hope for a sollution soon.
Thank you.
*edit*
Untill there is a permanent solution, i found a way to deal with my issue and i hope it will help others.
I personally use Chrome and this is for this browser:
1. Type "about:plugins" w/o the quotation in the navigation bar.
2. On the upper right u will see "Details" click it then find the word "flash", and you will see something like this:
Flash (3 files) - Version: 11,3,300,257
Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
Name: Shockwave Flash
Description: Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
Version: 11,3,300,257
3. I say again, this worked for me on Chrome. The 3 files i have, two of them are Version 11,3,300,257 and one is 11.2.31.144
4. Simply disable the lates version 11.3 and enable the previous version 11.2
I hope this helps.

Problem with FCP since update to 10.0.6

I'm up to date on Mac OS X and FCP, but since updating to FCP 10.0.6 switching events causes it freeze.

Trashing my preferences???
Corrupt preference files are the cause of many many problems in FCP X. If that is the cause of your problem, then deleting preferences will solve it; otherwise it will at least do no harm.
(In case you don't know, most applications keep your preference settings in little files with .plist extension, in a "Preferences" folder. You usually don't notice and may not care about it unless they become corrupted and then your software may malfunction - as is the case here)
Pref Manager, which I mentioned in the previous post, is a free software which can delete (and optionally backup and restore, in case you want to) these .plist files, without you going to look for them in the Finder.
Deleting preferences does NOT affect your events and projects - it does not touch them. So it is innocuous and usually the first thing to try when FCP X misbehaves.
Jakob's post may well be on to something, especially if the problem happens with some events and not others.
If deleting preferences does not solve the problem, then you may have to delete some folders in the Finder. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I suggest you delete preferences and report back.

Problems with Mail since update Yosemite

Hello
I have a MacBook Pro 13" from approx. Dec. 2010.
I made last weekend the update to Yosemite. Since then the Mail.app does not work correct anymore. I can send mails and I can get mails from my webmail server if Mail.app is open. When I start Mail.app new I can not get the incoming mails from the webmail server. Mail.app does not download the incoming mails arrived in the meantime as the Mail.app was closed from the webmail server. I tried to create the mail account new but that did not work. I can not create a new mail account either.
Now I tried to create a new main account and I installed one of my mail account. there. In this new main account the mail.app is working well again and got all mails downloaded.
So it looks that during the update of Yosemite my existing main account got an error.
I could work now on the new account. But how can I bring all adjustments and data's out of the existing account into the new account? Is this possible to do?
Or how can I fix the existing account that has an error? Do I have to go back to Mavericks again? And how can I go back to mavericks like it was before the update to Yosemite?
Hope I can get some answers that would help me in this case.
Thank's in advance!

Here is my list of problems with Mail since upgrading to Yosemite (all was working just fine before) ...
[MacBook Pro, Retina 13", late 2013, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB, 500GB running OS X Yosemite 10.10]
Mail is very slow (seems to be a memory leak?)
Read emails not being marked as read (sporadic - sometimes it works just fine)
Deleted emails not being deleted (sporadic - sometimes it works just fine)
When replying to a message, does not close original message (sporadic - sometimes it works just fine)
When dragging a message to a folder cannot scroll up (can scroll down)
Message is sometimes blank (but the same message opened fine previously or later)
Message is sometimes one line of text and it is not possible to easily scroll horizontally to read the message (two finger side swipe on trackpad works but not Magic Mouse ... easiest way to read emails is to forward or reply)
Calendar invite messages not closing or being deleted when invite RSVP is completed
I should roll back my OS but this is a real hassle so I am hoping for Apple to submit an update to Yosemite or Mail & Calendar.
Has anyone else had any of the above problems? Anyone got any temp solutions until updates come from Apple? Perhaps changing settings can resolve some of the above issues - I have tried but failed.

Problems with sound after updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 7.0.6

I have updated my iPhone 4s' software to IOS 7.0.6 and it is no longer sounding when the earphones are not plugged in. Any tips?

HI guys!
I
have the same problem since updating to iOS 7.0.6 - my speaker sound is gone for any apps. It appears ringers and alarms might be working.
What I have noticed, that nobody else has mentioned, is when I use the ringer volume control buttons on the side of the phone is that it ajusts the Headphones volume, regardless of whether the headphones are plugged in or not. My phone things headphones are always plugged in, as far as I can tell, except when it comes to the ringer and alarms.
Not sure that gets us any closer to a solution, but that's what I've observed. Are others seeing this too when they adjust theur volume?

Question/Problem with SystemPreferences since updating to 10.4.3

Since update there is no printing/Faxing selection in System Preferences Pane. It simply isn't there to select. Is there a work around or Utility to get it back? Printer installation
shows up as selected,but I would like to confirm it as a system wide selection. Thanks to any suggestions Leighla

Go to www.versiontracker.com and download Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the Print & Fax preference pane from the file archive on the Tiger DVD, and install it in the /System/Library/Preference Panes/ folder.
Download and install the 10.4.3 Combo Updater. This time before running the installer do the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Now reinstall the 10.4.3 Combo Updater.

Problems with finder since updating to 10.9

Hi,
Since updating My Macbook Pro to 10.9 Mavericks I can't copy files to my external. It stops, they disapear, it's just not working as it has for Lion & Mountain Lion. Any advice?
Thanks,
J

For some strange reason the accents issue seemed to be resolved before I followed your suggestions; no idea why! Tried your tips and yes, the special characters are there when I go to Edit>Special Characters, but no change after the False/True process. Still not in the menu bar even though it's ticked under Keyboard preferences. GotBattery, Input Source Date etc etc, but not the Keyboard or Characters still.

Issues with wifi since updating to iOS 6 on iPad 3.

I'm having wifi issues since updating to iOS 6 on my iPad 3. I can't access certain sites and get error messages such as 'servor can't connect' and 'request timed out.' Although some sites work fine. I can't access apps which require internet such as facebook, iMessenger, face time and games which need internet access. I can't use iTunes or App store and get the message 'can't connect to iTunes try again.' All these problems started after I updated to iOS 6. I found that the iPad works fine at another location on a different wifi but not at home. The home internet is not the issue as laptops, phones and iPad 1 and 2 all work fine on the internet here. I took my iPad to the apple store with no help and no useful advice so came back again and they offered me a hardware swap which I took. I now have the new iPad but the issue still remains. I have tried everything and I have done everything that has been suggested. Some things I have done are reset network settings, reset all settings, changed wifi dns, changed HTTP proxy to auto, closed all apps and re-opened, fully shut down the iPad, turned off the wifi router and restored the iPad several times. I have searched for help and advice and found that there are many complaints about iOS 6 on the iPad 3 when it comes to wifi. What else is there for me to do to fix this problem? I can't use internet or apps that require internet, basically my iPad is of no use at the moment. Do I have to wait for a new software update which will address this problem?

Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Not compatible with speaker since update to 3.1 (and other issues)

I have an Altec-Lansing T612 speaker that I specifically bought because it was advertised as "works with iPhone". No problems until I recently updated the phone's OS. Now when I put the iPhone in the speaker dock, I get the message "this device is not compatible with iPhone. Do you want to turn on Airplane Mode, etc. etc.". Worst of all, the phone no longer charges while in the dock.
Also since the update, my battery drains in a few (3 or 4) hours if bluetooth is on, and apps open up to the initial screen and then close immediately: it takes several tries before I can use them.
I have no idea how to reverse the OS update or if that's even possible (going to search around on this site for info, but in the meantime if someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!). Mainly posting in the hope that someone from Apple will see this and add to their list of 3.1 issues to be dealt with!

Absolutely Furious With Garageband Since Update

I have always gotten on well with Garageband until the last update that I've reluctantly agreed to. Now the tracks are apparently too large to send by email and I can't find a way to send it to iTunes. Not only that, but now my music software, Reason, will not open these files because it's an 'unsupported format', something that was never a problem before the last update. I don't know what the **** went on since the last update but I'm really not impressed. I am basically screwed now.
Am I just missing something here or have they changed the file format as well as what used to be an easy way of getting it onto my PC?

Which version of GarageBand have you updated to?
nd I can't find a way to send it to iTunes.
Does this no longer work? http://help.apple.com/garageband/iphone/2.0/index.html#chs39284d66
Send a GarageBand song to iTunes
Tap the Navigation button in the control bar, tap My Songs, then tap Select.
Tap the song you want to send, then tap the Action button .
Tap Share Song via iTunes.
Do one of the following:
To send the song as a GarageBand song, tap GarageBand.
To send the song as an audio file, tap iTunes, then tap Share.
After you tap the iTunes icon, you can choose the quality of the file GarageBand sends to iTunes. You can also add artist, composer, and title information that appears in iTunes.
Sync your iPhone or iPod touch with your computer.In iTunes, the exported song appears in the Documents list in the File Sharing area when GarageBand is selected.
Do one of the following:
Drag the song from the GarageBand Documents list to the Finder.
Click Save As, navigate to the location where you want to save the song, then click Save.
You can open the GarageBand song in GarageBand on your Mac, or play the audio file in iTunes (or any compatible audio application) on your computer. GarageBand songs cannot be opened on a Windows computer.
How do you export the songs to Reason, if Mail and iTunes Export did not work?
Not only that, but now my music software, Reason, will not open these files because it's an 'unsupported format', something that was never a problem before the last update.

Pdf files not opening properly since updating to 1.7.1.418 only happens with security locked files

I've saved a file in pdf format from Illustrator with a security lock & now it wont open in Photoshop. I've only had this issue since updating to version 1.7.1.418

Wouldn't it be a good idea to completely invalidate the applet cache in the JRE installer?Yes, I guess it should be an option for user of the app on first start after upgrade, not for the JRE installer. There are many large applications that users would want to avoid re-download.
From the log, there is some hidden exception during first launch. The best way to proceed is to file a bug, including some guest/debugging access to the game.

Some apps have no sound since updating my iPad to ios7. Any ideas?

Two apps I have that catalogue YouTube golf clips have no sound since I updated to iOS 7. If I play the clips from You Tube, they work!!! The .03 update has not helped. Am I the only one or are other having issues with sound?

Apple does not provide an option to downgrade to a previous version of iOS. If glitches occur wth some apps, try a reboot:
press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.
Something else to try:
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. Some users report this speeds up their devices.

Email not updating automatically and no alert sounds since update.

Email was updating automatically before with no problem and alerting me with each new email. Since update I have to update manually and no alerts are coming through. Have checked my settings and everything seems to be fine. Any suggestions???

im not sure of a way to go in there and set it to automatically update. but i had that problem with some games and when i went to manually update them i scrolled down a little and it gave me the option to check a box to allow it to automatically update. you can check for updates in settings>about phone>system updates.

Lightroom 4.4 Download Problem(s). Since updating I have been unable to download RAW files

Since updating to LR 4.4, I have been unable to download RAW file formats. In addition, normal .jpg files stopped working today! I can successfully still download into LR 3.6 which I kept on my system.
I'm shooting with a Canon 1D Mark X and using LR on an iMac. This is making workflow impossible. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Mike

A couple of tests:
1. Create a Dummy User account with full Admin Read/Write permissions. Does that fix it?
2. Make certain your active User account has full Read/Write permissions for the storage location of both: The Catalog, and The Image Files.
