Quicktime: Sound off during movie recording and preferences won't open

Ever since I updated to Snow Leopard I can't open Quicktime preferences anymore. In addition, when I try to record a video+sound, the sound is always off and not recording in real time.
Does anyone know how resolve these issues?
Thanks in advance!

Ditto to the above. I too am having the same symptoms of no audio within GB3 only after upgrading but levels light up perfectly plus I am unable to to address GB prefs without first rebooting. What's up with this? All other iLife '06 apps run fine on my G4 Digital Audio. This was after a fresh install of iLife '06 by the way running X.4.5.
I tried looking up the answers on the link that samccormack kindly provided above but nothing happens. I simply get an error message. Might you be able to let us know on this thread what the link was about or how to address the no audio and vanishing preferences that refuse to open up within GB3?
TIA

No sound output and preferences won't open

Hi all,
I am using (or trying to use) GarageBand 3 on my MacMini and I am having problems. I have a movie project I am trying to work on from iMove and I use the share function to move it over to garageband so I can edit the audio track and while in GB I can't hear any audio output from the computer. I see the level indicators lighting up like there is sound but I hear nothing which makes garageband useless as an audio editor. Also I can't seem to get it to open the preferences windows. I hit the command and nothing happens. I've erased the preferences files in my library found but that hasn't helped. Any ideas?

Mail's icons are blank and preferences won't open

I have thrown away the plist file from my library but the problem persists.
I can function without the icons showing up in the buttons above the message window, but not being able to access privileges is difficult.

Currently in Mail 3.x, there is an oval in the upper right of the Mail window, but in the Preferences window, there is not.
Let's do a test: Create a New User Account, and as that New User launch Mail and try setting up one email account (if POP select to leave messages on the server after download. See the following if not familiar with adding a new user account:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
The reason for doing this is to test the Mail app itself, and not to permanently switch to a new user account. Tell me if after setting up one email account, and requesting the Preferences pane, the behavior continues in that New User Account?

Sounds like a dead battery. Try plugging it into a charger.

My Apple TV stops and returns to main menu during movie playback and photo slide show via homesharing. I have a second Apple TV in another room that works fine.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

Hello, Gordon.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that will walk you through some troubleshooting steps for this issue. Start with the attached section in the article below.
Tip: If you see a sheet or dialog that states 'Enter the password for user "email address'", this indicates that the email service provider is having an issue with the password being sent by Mail, or there is an issue with the email account. Contact the email service provider for support. Choose Window > Connection Doctor click "Show Detail" then click "Check Again". The information displayed in the "Show Detail" drawer may include details from the email service provider about what the issue is. Look for headers that start with "[ALERT]".

MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on.

MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on. Battery had 41% just before this happened and green indicator on power cord is showing, so it seems like it's charging. What should I do?

The led on the power adapter should be amber if it is charging. Green just indicates that it is supplying power to the MBP.
Try a SMC reset:

Have you closed and restarted Lightroom since you checked that box?

IPhoto asks for an upgrade of Aperture and otherwise won't open

After upgrade to Maverick, iPhoto asks for an upgrade of Aperture (which I don't have and never had), and otherwise won't open. If I click "ok", the Applications store opens and asks me to BUY Aperture (69,99 EUR).
There must be a bug in iPhoto 11 after the upgrade to Maverick..?

I can only guess at a couple of solutions:
#1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
#2
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

Have downloaded audio book and it won't open

Have downloaded an audio book, and it won't open. It has a red dot next to it, but has downloaded.

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

Installed new version of Mac OS x and iWeb won't open

I installed new version of Mac OS x last night and iWeb won't open

I spent an exhausting night testing programs after updating. My iWeb works as expected after the update. No network problems whatsoever. You may want to see if you are connected to the internet. iWeb opens incredibly slowly when there is no connection. Try opening Safari and see if you are surfing normally.
Lion hides the Library folders, probably so users can't mess with them. I downloaded the latest beta of Onyx and was able to get the Library folders to show again.
The only problem I had were some font issues. Do you have a font manager installed? Lion installs its font program and it is set to automatically activate fonts. I turned all autoactivation off.
Lion has no Rosetta and Power PC programs are no longer supported. Do you have the newest version of iWeb installed? I also have been updating my Mac constantly. You may want to run software update and make sure all your programs are current.

Safari and itunes won't open

I was using my mac 3 days ago and everything was fine, then comcast had a internet problem and I lost service for 3 days now I have internet but safari and itunes won't open the icon bounces once and then nothing. I have removed them from the dock, and removed them from the app folder, I also removed the plist and cache files from the home directory. Using firefox I tried to download new copies of them both and nothing new appears on my desktop. I have run the hardware test utility on my osx discs and everthing checks out ok. I am so frustrated, this is the first real problem with my mac since I got it 2.5 years ago. thanks in advance

ok here is an update, I repaired permissions in disk utility with my boot disk, then verified the volume and the volume had errors. I tried to repair the volume and disk utility said I had sibling errors and could not repair. I had an appointment with the genius bar and they determined that with the unrepairable errors on the drive an erase and install was necessary, after coming to grips with this reality I decided to backup everything and do the reformat and upgrade to leopard. I can honestly say that the genius bar person was very courteous and professional. They allowed me to stay at the bar while backing up my files onto my lacie external drive and then installed a new copy of leopard from their lacie drive (after I paid for my copy of leopard) which took 20 minutes instead of 2 hours. I am frustrated that I had to do this whole process and the genius bar employee could not tell me why it happened but the system is working great and I am enjoying the new operating system.
