Recent upgrade screwed my arch (mono sound, no screensaver..)
Ok so on my last pacman -Syu my #solved#screensaver stopped working, it is like its almost about to start (the screen fades away) and then back to desktop...#solved#
This one is pretty stupid also.. when I start firefox my graphic card starts to sing like a cricket...
#solved#But the major problem is that I'm having mono sound on EVERY app, i tried amarok and mpplayer, only one speaker plays sound (and one headphone)...#solved#
I'm using gnome, alsa, and im running arch on a vaio fz11z (8400m gt nvidia, intel ich8 family sound card)

In general, it is appreciated and customary to post solutions when found so that a forum search actually helps.
sorry about that, on the gnome panel volume applet, open volume control and i had to put the left bar in master up, and restarted arch. At least i think it was that..

AFter recent upgrade to ios 8.1.1, my iphone 6 no longer makes text alert sounds and ring does not sound for incoming calls (except on car bluetooth). has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you correct?
I had the same problem until tonight. Played with ring tones, do not disturb, volume, and everything else posted. What I found is that when you go to sounds/text tone, there are two types of tones in the scrolling menu. The top set of tones are for alert tones and the bottom set are ringtones. They are separated by a gray bar that states their purpose. Many of the tones are the same name. You need to set your text alert in the Ringtones and reminders, alarms, and such in alerts. The weird thing about this menu is when you go to sounds/ringtone the menu is reversed. Mine works in locked mode or unlocked now. I have an Iphone 6 8.1.2. My problem started after my latest OS upgrade. Hope this helps.

G5 PowerBook; Intel cpu; recently upgraded 10.3.9 to 10.5.8 also upgraded to iLife6. After several downloads suggested from Apple, iMovie6 is a mess. Clip indicator runs 3 clips ahead of the sound and video. Jerky. Unusable. All the movies were created with iMovie 4 and loaded all into this version and saved all in this version.
Video card is GeForce FX 5200; Quartz Extreme: Supported: Core Image: Hardware Excelerated.
Perhaps in the multiple downloads, Apple sent me a version that outruns my aged video card?
Help is most appreciatedThe uptime of your Mac is more than 10 days. How about a simple reboot?

TS5180 No sound sound from speaker recently upgraded to iOS7.0.2
No sound sound from speaker recently upgraded to iOS7.0.2
I have this problem too, .
I upgraded my iPhone4 today. Immediately my phone is defunct, and I cannot find any workaround listed anywhere online for the phone, only for the iPad2.
Reset All Settings as per iPad2 advice had no effect except to make me have to re-enter all my settings again.
The volume bar is greyed out in Music settings, and has no visible point on the bar where the volume is defaulted to.
The greyed out bar doesn;t change when the volume buttons are pressed.
However, sometimes the ringer volume logo pops up and changes when I do this, but not always.
However when I call the phone, the ringer is always at full volume, as it was immeditely prior to upgrade.
When I press either up or down volume button the ringer silences completely, immediately, and cannot be resurrected by any manouvers.
Only another call will make the ringer sound.
When I answer the call, the phone is mute though the mute button is not highlighted.
Toggling the mute makes no difference.
Selecting Speaker mode makes no difference - it is mute.
Selecting either up or down volume buttons has no effect.
Using the Jack output is silent.
I cannot hear music, youtube videos, BBC news clips, or any alerts.
Vibrate is still working.
Trying not to get angry again with another Apple "UPGRADE" disaster - but frankly - I can't even make or receive a phone call - is this fixable???
PLease does anyone know how to dothis?
BTW, being iPhone 4, of course the Home button doesn;t work, so anything involving the Home button must be able to work with the Accessibility Home Button software.
Desperately: How do I downgrade to previous iOS 6 last version?

Since the recent upgrade I lost my bookmarks and ability to hear sound on videos. First I lost VIDEO then thought it was fixed only to find I had no SOUND when the video opened.How do I fix that NOW!
I have lost a week fiddling with reinstalling and suggested fixes to no avail. I have important bookmarks used in project research and study plans . Can I go back to my original last working version?
NEED HELP ASAP
THIS IS A VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT I THOUGHT IS A GOOD BROWSER - NOT SO SURE ANYMORE!!!Hi movision,
Sorry you are having problems with lost bookmarks. I note you had problems last year [/questions/851481] and hopefully this time you will have been routinely making your own backups of bookmarks.
* see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
So two steps
# Immediately make a backup of your firefox profile <br/> (That ensures any auto bookmarks are preserved). IMPORTANT do this first, restoring bookmarks overwrites existing bookmarks. Put the restored files somewhere safe such as your Windows desktop.
# Did you create any bookmark backups, if so the linked article above explains how to restore those bookmarks
You may also be interested in using Firefox sync, if you have a second device,as it allows you to sync bookmarks on the other device; and they are effectively then backed up.
* [[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]] -
Lost all sounds except ringtone after recent upgrade
No sound except ringtone after recent upgrade followed by the upgrade fix. Since the ringtone was only affected I didn't notice immediately! If I plug in my headphones everything works. Unable to use volume buttons on side unless headphones are plugged in, the volume symbol with white dots doesn't even appear anymore. The volume control in itunes music only works when plugged into headphones otherwise it can't be adjusted. Worked with apple support tried everything include a restore to new still no go! It appears that a few people are having the same problem and seems weird that it happened after last upgrade!
If you are unable to adjust the volume without headphones even after restoring, then the iPhone thinks it's plugged into a dock or cable. This is the behavor that will happen if you plug your iPhone in to the car or iHome dock to play you music and sounds, but a docked connection will never play ringtones through the dock connection and headphones override that dock connection which is why your headphones work.
How does the phone think its connected to a dock? Well, this can happen if the charging port gets wet at some point or if some trauma happens in there like pushing the cable in when it doesnt fit, etc.
So it happens even after restoring what do I do? Service your iPhone. https://selfsolve.apple.com -
Recent Itunes Upgrade screwed up computer?
We recently upgraded to iTunes 6.0.4.3. We lost all our dock settings, and now Safari and IE crash when we try and browse the net.
Any ideas? Could something else have caused this?Click here and follow the instructions.

I recently upgraded to iOS 8. Looks like the pics I had in my messages are no longer appearing as pictures, rather they are appearing as JPEG files (not broken jpegs). I need to get these pics. Can't figure out how to do it. I'm on an iPhone 5C.
I've tried resetting my phone, looking for the pics in the new 'deleted' folder. I tried forwarding the jpegs to sees if they'll appear in a new message (but turnout the phone won't let me forward these pics). Apple is trying to say it's the 30 day reason, but I know that is not the problem. ALl of my pics older than 30 days were viewable. It is the upgrade that screwed this up. Help! Important pics!Try this to learn about using keys:

As for iPhoto, it sounds like you were trying to move files around in the library. That is a bib no-no in Aperture or iPhoto. -
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. -
SOLVED Breakage on Asus UX21A after recent upgrade
After a recent upgrade that brought the kernel to 3.9.2 a lot of things stopped working on my asus zenbook prime: most annoyingly all function keys. They seem like disabled. In xev they don't even produce any event.
This in turn breaks an easy interface to keyboard backlight, screen brightness and sound volume.
I downgraded the kernel to what I had before (3.8.8) and the function keys do work again.
Unfortunately I was unable to circumvent another bug introduced by the upgrade, namely that whenever the machine returns from a blanked out screen, screen backlight is set to max. That cannot possibly be the intended behavior. I get this with journalctl:
archlinux pkexec[1939]:: Executing command [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/] [COMMAND=/usr/bin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 10]
This is annoying because you have to readjust backlight every time manually.
Can anyone shed some light on this? What parts of the kernel do control this? Or what triggered the modified behavior?
Thanks.
Last edited by gen2arch (2013-05-17 20:07:55)ewaller, thanks for your reply!
I did a pacman -Qo on the xfpm-power-backlight-helper program an it turns out to be part of xfpm-power-backlight-helper!
So in turn I downgraded to its previous version, an indeed the problem with max'ing screen backlight disappeared. Of course this is no real solution. I was hoping that xfpm-power-backlight-helper ws a script, so I could see what it does, but it is a compiled program.
I'm going to upgrade to the recent version of the kernel in order to see, as you suggested, more journalctl output, but as far as I remember it was non-descript.
By the way: I'm new to arch, as this little ultrabook is the first machine where I did not install Gentoo; what is the easiest method to switch kernels in arch?
Wrt to the function key problem: It seems that a lot of people having issues with that as the new kernel would not display certain files in the sys filesystem used to manipulate these settings. Unfortunately, I have no solution for that.
thanks -
I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?
The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11. Big Mistake. Now I can't play anything from iTunes. When I click on it, it appears to be playing, but no sound at all.
Also, I keep getting asked to "authorize" this computer (which I've been using for more than 2 years). When the dialog box comes up, it includes an e-mail address what I used over 6 years ago. When I attempt to change the e-mail address, it tells me I'm already authorized.
PLEASE HELP! Or, just tell me how to get iTunes 10 back - that works well!A computer requires authorisation to play content. If you have bought content using 2 Apple IDs over the years you need to authorise the machine for both Apple ID accounts.

This is a really annoying problem: I only get mono sound with my headphone jack - the builtin laptop speakers are doing fine, though. I had this problem a few days ago, I asked for help in another forum but right after that (after a reboot) it worked again. After I used jack server for a while I noticed that there was mono sound only again, system-wide, and it couldn't be fixed with a reboot. I think I should mention that I had the same problem on ubuntu before (about 5 days ago; installed arch linux afterwards) too.

Maybe it will be gone when I'll do some reboots, there are often problems without any cause (that makes sense, at least; today my laptop died for 3 hours, i couldn't turn it on anymore, and when i took it to a repair service, when i explained it to the guy he tried pressing the power button and it just worked again)It went away for a while and came back right now, I don't know how to reproduce it, I don't know the cause. This is really bothersome.
The built-in speakers work normally, by the way. -
My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on 2011 iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem. Is it possible to reinstall older software? I cant figure whats causing the jerky video so I'm assuming its the new OS. Any one have any suggestions?
I have the same but not the same problem. When I play a sound or a video on a website (other than youtube)on safari, a weird nois is comeing from the speakers, the sound has pops/clicks but if I play the same video/sound on mozilla it works fine.. If wnyone know what's the problem.. please let us know
