Screensaver, system sounds and itunes problem

I did all the updates and even used migration assistant so my computer has been through allot already. I do not know which update affected my screen saver and optical audio but my screen saver is having the same issue with two monitors. My VGA monitor displays photos when the screen saver kicks in but my macbook just says looking for pictures. I tried reseting pram, repairing permissions and "safe boot" but nothing works. My optical audio somehow messes with my system sounds and iTunes on first song or podcast played. Sometimes the progress bar will freeze and I can't move it.(the time counter for a track in iTunes). The system sound works off and on when I use optical audio out to my stereo receiver. I talked to apple care and the genius bar and they said I might need to archive and install from the recovery discs that came with my computer. I think if I did that and did all the updates then the problem would return because I think it is a firmware or software update problem and not third party software interacting with the system.

iTunes shouldn't do that. Normally when iTunes finds that it would like to move/rename a file after download or a tag edit, and the filename it wants to use is already in use, it adds a " 1" or " 2" to the end of the filename. It does not overwrite the original file. In fact if it had reused the filename then there would be two entries in your library, which would both have the same information and content. Is this the case? How exactly is the title of the film spelt?
File & folder names are limited to 40 characters in Windows so I would expect (judging by the titles given in the store) to find the movies in a folder called:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - P
and to be called
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.m4v and
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallo 1.m4v
Hopefully you have a backup of the missing file as, in principle, you are only allowed to create one copy using the redemption code.

    How do I uninstall Mackeeper?  I have dragged it into trash, but it still showing in systems information and causing problems!

    How to uninstall MacKeeper - updated
    How to Remove MacKeeper
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

  • Delayed system sounds and no audio in web browser or itunes

    HP Envy 14 B4B15UA#ABA Windows 7
    No changes to the system recently (that I'm aware of).  Suddenly I have no sound in iTunes or Chrome.  The volume equalizer doesn't show anything when sounds should be playing, and iTunes doesn't even try to play.  Also, system sounds are on about a seven second delay.  When I try to configure my speakers, I get an error that says "failed to play test tone", but then it plays several seconds later.  System "clicks" and error tones are also delayed.
    I have tried searching for audio driver updates (IDT High Definition Audio CODEC), but it is current.  I have tried plugging headphones in, no dice.  I have restarted several times, and installed windows updates.  I have restored system defaults in case I accidentally changed something.  I even went into the godforsaken Beats controller to see if something was wonky there.  Nothing.  I have no idea why this is happening.  Please help.

    Hey thatpurpleone,
    I see that you're not getting any sound from the speakers. 
    Follow this Document even though you mention there wasn't nothing that changed with the system.

  • HT4623 Sound and other problems with Ipad 3 after ios 6.1.3 update

    I purchased Ipad 3 last year and got problem of losing sound when I restored the Ipad throgh itunes. The sound came back automatically after I charged the device to 100%. Recently I got the same problem when the operating system was Ios 6.1.2 and then i got updated it to ios 6.1.3. The problem has not been solved while has been added up. Now the Ipad operation is slow, its either freezes and crashes frequently. Once it gets in sleep mode then it does not come back untill i press power button and home button togehter for sometime. I have checked all settings like mute and have restored the ios multiple times on two separate PCs but the problem is still there. Please help me what i need to do next.

    Try a reboot of your ipad. Hold the Sleep/Wake button and Home button simulataneously. Keep holding, ignoring the red slider, until the Apple logo appears. Release the buttons and let the ipad restart. A reboot often fixes numerous problems.
    Also are you aware that by suncing with a different computer it is likely the personal stuff you had on your ipad from your imac will be removed?
    The ipad is designed to sync with only one device.

  • IMac 20" sound and other problems

    My dad has just bought me a 20" intel iMac for my 18th birthday, and has let me have it 2 weeks early, and I love it!
    But yesterday i ran into various troubles. I turned my mac on, hearing the usual startup chime,but there was no sound at all coming from the internal speakers as soon as I got into Mac OS (fully updated as well as firmware 1.01) e.g. playing a song on itunes. Absolutely nothing.
    When I plugged in my usual external speakers into the headphone jack, the sound was unusually low, and when turning the external speakers up there was a very distinct crackling sound along with the music that was playing.
    This, I thought, was just a minor problem that could be easily rectified. That was until my screen went a dark transparent grey with a multilingual message telling me that I needed to restart my computer. So I did, and mac os booted up again telling me that Mac Os had encountered an error. I sent a report to apple at this point too. Then the screen went transparent grey again telling me to restart.
    This continued, and I decided to quickly back up my files to a nearby pc (I'm recently converted to Macs), and I inserted my Mac Os install disk. I knew what I was doing as I'd formatted a few days ago due to accidently erasing my mac partition whilst trying out bootcamp . I did a full erase of the mac harddrive, and started the install process, when the grey screen happened again! This led me to beleive it wasnt a software fault. I restarted and attempted to install again. This time no grey screen, but a horrible noise came from the under the bottom left of the screen like a violent clicking. I turned the mac off straight away. I booted up again and installed Mac OS without any errors.
    Still, no sound and still the grey screen popped up. I finally decided to phone Apple up with the number from the applecare box. The man on the other end guided me through various diagnostic procedures, getting me to hold applealt+RP, and got me to reinstall mac os, at which point we hung up.
    Mac OS worked fine this time with no grey screens, but the sound still didnt work. I phoned applecare up again and a woman showed me the sound pane in system properties. The Output listing didnt show internal speakers at all and just showed Line Out. Well all in all my mac is in the same state right now, apart from I keep getting more and more grey screens, and it seems to be really unstable when trying to install software updates for example.
    The woman on the phone arranged to have it repaired, but I was wondering whether anyone had any clue as to whats going on with my mac.
    I'd really appreciate any ideas or comments about it. I'm sorry about the length of this post too!

    hey rob,
    if your machine was okay, up to the point of your 'experiment' with installing windows, it looks like your problems stem from a dodgy reinstall after the bootcamp attempt [i did the same thing, duing the formatting prep for windows, erased the os x partition bahhh]...i reinstalled and i haven't had any problems since[trying to find a slipstreaming scheme with the older xp pro disk i have].
    importantly, though is this clicking sound, not good.
    i'd like to know, through looking in the apple system profiler what brand HDD your machine came with. there would be letters designating western digital, seagate or maxtor.
    it may be, that this component is faulty. imho i'd prefer one brand over another that apple uses, other threads on the subject have different opinions about that...; ^]

  • Sound and quicktime problems

    so ever since i downloaded the newest version of itunes and quicktime my itunes simply wont play... also im getting a application error message for quicktime when the computer starts. I have no idea what to do... any ideas??

    ok so following the advice of a computer buddy I did a system restore and brought my itunes back to the old verson. To figure out how to do the restore just use the find or support button in windows and it will give you info and walk you through it! My sound issues were gone. The only problem i encountered was that when trying to open itunes it said my libray could not be opened bec it was a newer version than itunes.
    but if you have this problem all you have to do is search your comp for itunes library. this will bring you librays up that is has savedd over time. find the main one with all the playlists in it and the one with the newest date and move them to your desktop, this keeps itunes from trying to open it. itunes will open with no library and all you have to do is use the file on your desktop with the playlists in it and drag each one to the left side of your itues and the play lists are there again!!!
    my friend just sugested that if and when i do another update to save my old library to my desktop again before the update so if, again, i have problems with the new version i can revert back to the old library again!! hope this helps

    Did you remember disable the integrated (onboard) audio and uninstall it's drivers/software?
    Have you tagged the "Use only preferred devices" -option on Windows Audio config (on same page you set the Sound Play/Recording and MIDI playback devices)?

  • (SOLVED) No system sounds, and no sound for some applications

    For some reason, system sounds stopped working (like when one takes a screenshot). aplay plays sounds (I mean, no errors whatsoever), but I can hear nothing. Listening from mplayer or vlc still works as normal.
    When I 'aplay sound.wav', I see the leds going up and down on pavucontrol, but I hear nothing.
    I run openbox and I don't start gnome-settings-daemon with it. It is "pure" openbox.
    I checked pavucontrol settings, and also alsamixer but couldn't find anything that could solve the problem. I use pulse-audio, and have pulseaudio-alsa and alsa-utils installed.

    Yeah, I can guarantee that I didn't touch alsamixer myself. I didn't even know the F6 option (although, today I realized it is there very well visible). Anyway, I guess an update might have changed something... I saw other people with similar problems in #archlinux this morning.

  • Sound and microphone problems.

    Dear members:
    After a lot of frustrating attempts to use a microphone with my computers I have finally given up and decided to search for help with this issue.
    I have used a earset on three different computers I own (2 Powermacs and 1 Powerbook) but it doesn't pick the sound input from the microphone. I can hear just fine through the earset's speaker but the microphone part doesn't work.
    The earset has been used with 2 cell phones I have and I know it's working fine. I have also tried to use 2 Sony microphones I often use with a digital voice recorder during lectures. One is a unidirectional mono microphone and the other is a stereo omnidirectional microphone. Both microphones work just fine with the recorder but on the computers they simply don't show any sound input coming in.
    I have gone to the preferences pane, selected sound and chosen line in as the input source. However, unlike my Powerbook's built-in microphone, I can't see the input level bar graph move when I speak into the microphones. In case I do it with the Powerbook's sound input set for the built-in microphone, the input level bar moves to both right and left according to sound level (and the input volume I set). But with the microphones I have tested (3 so far) nothing happens.
    The problem can't be related to a hardware problem since I have tested the microphones with 3 different computers and it would be too much of a coincidence to have 3 computers with the same problem. The microphones can't be the problem either since I have tested them and they work fine with other devices.
    I have to believe the problem has to do with system configuration and something I am not doing right. I have contacted Apple's technical support but have been extremelly dissapointed by the help I received from a young man who seemed to know less about computers than I do and wasn't very well trained in the art of providing courteous service to consumers.
    Any ideas here ? This is frustrating me to the extreme as this should be a fairly simple thing to do that has now become a nightmare.
    Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
    Best regards,
    Joseph Chamberlain

    Apple's sound input and output ports are separate on their machines. Not all Macs have a sound input port. If the headset only has one audio jack, you won't be able to use the sound in on it unless you somehow separate the sound input to its own cable.
    Please identify your Macs in more detail using the links I've provided here:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#IDENTIFY
    The Specifications link on the toolbar at the top of the Discussions board will get you the sound port configuration of your specific Mac. If there is no sound input port on your Mac, you may need to use a Griffin iMic to hook up the audio input cable. Check your Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Sound -> Input to be sure that the microphone is detected.
    Not always will you get an Apple support representative on the phone who doesn't know what they are doing. Most of the time they are quite knowledgeable. If you get one who doesn't ask them to let you speak to someone else who is more of an expert on the issue.

  • Muting System Sounds When iTunes is Playing?

    Is there something I can do to mute the system sounds of OS X while playing music in iTunes? For example, I was playing music and deleted a file on the desktop at the same time and the trash can sound was heard with the music. Sometimes I use iTunes when I'm DJing and that kind of noise is not desirable! (Thank goodness I'm not on Windows which makes a sound for every **** event there is!)
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately that software will not work since I'm on a laptop using the headphone output. Note the "known issues" in the installer:
    *Known Issues
*
    -It is not possible to distinguish between the built-in speaker (on the front of the machine) and the headphone jack(s) on any macintosh. Likewise, the S/PDIF jack and the speaker and headphone jack on the PowerMac G5 can't be differentiated. Unfortunately, this is a hardware issue as these outpust share one audio line.
    
-Detour is not able to directly adjust Mail.app (OS X 10.3 and up) or iChat (10.4 and up). These applications now direct their audio through the System Alerts audio output, adjustable in the Devices tab as well as the Sound System Preference.
-Some apps, such as VLC, have their own volume and output controls which may override Detour's settings.

    Thanks anyways.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Sound and video problems?

    ok here is the deal, i got all the latest drivers for my system.
    i got the
    MSI 875P NEO LSR mainboard
    p4 3 ghz with HT
    with 1024mb ram
    160 gb s-ata
    geforce fx 5600 XT/256 mb
    soundblaster live 5.1 sound
    when i play heavy games like HALO or Need for speed my sounds and video works not correct BUT it should not be a problem because my amd 1800+ with gforce ti 4200 did better  
    i think it's the mainboard but does ANYONE has an solution or the same problem?
    o yeah my system reboots sometimes when i put new hardware on it (had it with my USB modem 4 ADSL)

    This sounds like it is your PSU giving troubles. What wattage is your PSU, and what are the 3.3v, 5v and 12v ratings on the PSU? (You can find out this info on the sticker that is attached to the PSU)

  • Sound and connection problems

    Hello.
    I own a Ipod Touch 16gb, purchased January last year (i believe it's 2nd gen).
    The iPod had worked fine for almost a year until the problems started, at first it would just freeze in 30min-1hour, and then work fine again. But in January (2010) the problems got serious. It started with that the iPod would play sounds and being very slow when trying to play. The only sound there came out of it (both speaker and headphones) where scratching sounds in a very low volume. To hopefully solve the problems i connected the iPod to my Windows computer (which it's syncronized with). The computer reconised that a USB item was connected (the "dong" sound) but iTunes didn't.
    Therefor i choose the reset the iPod completeley and delete everything on it.
    This worked until now, where the problems has occured again.
    The first time the iPod showed problems in January (2010) it was send to Apple, where it was checked for flaws (both hardware and software), but nothing was found.
    Currentley im reseting the iPod once again in hope of getting it normal, but im afraid it will happend again.
    Any ideas of what the problem is, and how it could be solved?.
    Kind Regards
    Mathias Brix

    Howdy Klausn79,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you’re running into a Bluetooth connection issue since upgrading your iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1. The interoperability of devices manufactured by different companies can sometimes be frustrating. Try taking a look at the two articles below, they will resolve most issues like the one you described.

  • System Admin and Admin Problem...

    Can any one tells me the different between system admin and admin?
    It seems like system admin is messing up my file permissions, and it seems like system admin has more control than the admin (me)...
    I had this experience today: everytime when I create a folder, the permission's gone under "system", I was not able to have any folder action nor create a new folder under it.
    I search the forum with solutions and I think I've fixed it and it works fine now, but the permission is still not under my account name; it goes under "root" (system Admin).
    Any one has a solution for this?
    And how can I delete the system admin account?
    Thanks,
    Arnold

    I input dscacheutil -q user in terminal, and I got this:
    Would it help to solve my problem? :P I'm wondering if anyone has the same problem too?
