Skype turns on my laptop speakers even with headph...

This has put me in embarrassing situations many times now. Im usually using Skype at work for professional purposes (all chat) and most of the times I'm listening to the songs with headphones on. One day, skype decided to act smart and turned my laptop speakers on with full volume so my entire office could hear what I was listening.
I was freaked out naturally. After close observation of days, I found out this happens every time when one of the following occurs:
1. Someone PMed me on skype mobile
2. Skype restarted after crashing
3. Skype starting in general
Also, my status is set to "do not disturb" all the time but when skype does this it also resets my status to online. I would very much appreciate an update that resolves these problems. Thanks

Skype can not send speaker sound (from another incident) to any speaker, unless you use a "what I'm hearing" driver as speaker output for Skype. Even if you choose the Speakers as Skype default output, your music will not be played throught Skype, without the aforementioned condition, or the volume is high enough that your mic picks it up.
Getting the headphone jack a small bit out of whack, will though. Also updating your audio drivers might help, if this is what causing skype to chrash, and possibly bring the headphone stream with it.
That being said, bugs do occur (Skype does not have access to the other sound stream, but disabling the mic input might be a cause). Be sure to revise your speaker settings in Skype (tools > settings > general > audio options).
What version of Skype are you running (help > about Skype), if lesser than 7.5.0.102, please update skype (for a host of reasons other than this) and see if this helps.
For the Skype changing status, this is your mobile device changing your status, when you interact with Skype your device will set you online (unless other specified in the mobile settings). to log out from the mobile device remotely type /remotelogout in any chat window.

After upgrading to Mavericks (from 10.7.8), I get a popping sound on my speakers even with mute. Suggestions?

I've never had an issue with my sound on my MBP 15" 2011 model until I upgraded to Mavericks. Shortly after I upgraded, I started getting a 'popping' sound coming from the speakers even with the volume muted.
I'm trying to figure out what could be causing it by eliminating running programs but no luck yet. So far I've tried:
disabling graphic switching
disabling the Flash plug in for Chrome
Checking Voice over settings in accessibility (off)
Killing coreaudiod
So far, only killing coreaudiod has worked for any length of time.
I'm not playing a sound, I have nothing in the background that's generating sound (with the exception of MS Office 2013 running in Parallels generating meeting notification alerts - that seems to cause part of it) but something is obviously triggering it.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

Might be corrupted audio preferences ..
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following;
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Click Go then move both .plist files from the Audio folder to the Trash.
com.apple.audioDeviceSettings.pllist
com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Restart your Mac. See if that made a difference ...

Turning on Filevault irrecoverably hangs even with clean OS install

It's a 13" MacBook Air 5,2 from 2012 with 128GB storage.
When I turn on Filevault, it runs for about an hour before the estimated time remaining goes from 1-2 hours to "estimating time remaining" and it beach balls. I've let it sit for up to 24 hours before and nothing happens. I have to force it to shut down, then when it starts up I get the white screen with a question mark folder. To recover from this I have to boot from a USB drive and wipe the disk.
I've tried this 3 times, once with a completely new install of Mavericks.
My suspicion is that the SSD is bad, but could it be a different hardware issue?

Error when turning on Match on Phone, even with the same ID

Like many of you, I keep getting the "You are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match" error when attempting to activate the service on my iPhone and iPad. Initially the ID's were different; it was the confusion for those of us who had both .mac adresses that were converted to .me addresses, etc. I set up EVERYTHING across all systems to work with a single user ID, "[email protected]". In the stores on all 3 devices, that's the ID. In the settings, that's the ID. The same, unique password works across all systems. Match was set up and activated perfectly on my Mac. But still the iDevices give me this frustrating error. Help?

Hi Srujan,
2 reasons,
1. Might be you have configured with wrong Monitor, choose the correct one and enter proper parameter details for key figure
or the issue with the key figure itself. you can refer the notes 1807734 - ST-A/PI 01Q: Advance Corr. BP Analytics - TBIs for ERP, like this lots of note available, refer bpmon advance correction, make sure you applied.
2. Issue might be with the data collection, below guide might help, http://service.sap.com/~sapdownload/011000358700001186112010E/Troubleshooting_for_BPMon.pdf

HT201406 i can't turn on my ipad at all, not even with the sleep keep, how can i start it again

I can't turn on my IPAD, not even with holding the sleep bottom, how can i star my IPad again

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Try:
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My MacBook Pro's battery is completely dead and even with the power chord attached it doesn't turn on. Any solution ?

I read somewhere that even with the drained out battery the mac should work with power chord attached. In my MacBook Pro 8.1 (late 2011) the green battery indicater on the side of the laptop just blinks depicting that the battery is dead. But the mac is not turning on even when the power chord is attached. I don't mind working with the power chord all the time but at least the MacBook should turn on. When I press the power button I hear nothing, I see nothing , there is no change. It's just a dead laptop. I am worried. Is there something else wrong with my MacBook Pro

Ok...I'd be tempted to try another charger if you have access to one. If not, I'd book a Genius appointment at your nearest Apple Store & get them to take a look for you.
Good luck.

Pavilion dv6 with Windows 7 - some softs use laptop speakers some headphones (at the same time)

To be more specific, I usually use my headphones with my laptop. The main problem is that when I use winamp and skype at the same time there's a weird thing happening:
If I get a skype sound, the sound switches from the headphones to the laptop speakers. After the skype sound is over it automatically returns tot the headphones. I'm using Windows 7, and I looked at Volume Control Options and i have 3 devices: SPDIF, Independent Dual Headphones and Speakers and Dual Headphones and I can not choose which one to use (for all softwares).
This is annoying (specially at night when I don't want to make any noise), if I get a skype call my speakers go wild and after the bip-sound from the call it all switches back to the headphones.
Can you help me set up this sound issue ?

Solution has been found. Disable "Communications Heaphones" from Sound in the Control Panel.

Same problem - happened after recent logic update.

Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

Mac book pro is very very slow/it hangs for even the smallest tasks/even with the lid closed it is still running if it is not completely turned off. Dose any one know what may be wrong ? and how to fix it?

More details about the problem : My computer is a Mid 2012 Mac Book pro 2.9GHz i7 processor with 8GB RAM updated to OS X v10.8.5
- I ran a compleet scan of my computer for any threats ( I used virus barrier express ) and there was nothing identified
- When I oppened the Activiti Monitor there are about 20-30 processes which I do not undersatand they are run under the user "root" 2 in perticular ( Kernel_task & fseventsd ) they both take up a lot of threads and kernel_task is constantly using 1.2 GB of "real memory" which is at least 20 times any other process that is running espesially the ones that run under the user "Apple" I do not know if this is causing the problems on my mac but i tryed to forces close it and it dose not even let me click the button, the others close but reopean immideatly. I will attach a screen shot of what i have mentioned here.
- The problems I am facing are mainly performance :- To state a few examples, my mac dose not seam to be able to handile even the smallest tasks like switching tabs on safari, typing any thing, playing a movie withought stopping inbetween, etc.. ( let me elaborate on why I said its not able to handil these tasks, it is because when I am trying to do any one of the afformentioned tasks inbetween the cursor becomes a rainbow collered spinning disk and I am unable to do anything for about 10 seckonds after which it starts to work again for some time before it happens again. )
- Another concern of mine is that my mac seems to be on even with the lid closed if I do not shut it down compleetly, if i just close the lid after some time the computer starts warming up, and the fan starts running. the battery is drained at the same rate or slightly less rate than it would have if i was using it normally with the lid opean. ( altough this is happning the screen dose not turn on untill the lid is opean again )
- I have only 300+ GB full out of my 750GB so i believe these are not issues caused by my mac's memory being full ( BUT THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS WAS HAPPNING WAS WHEN MY MEMORY WAS ABOUT 720GB FULL WHEN THESE ISSUES FIRST AROSE I IMMEADITLY DELEATED 400+GB OF MY USELESS FILES THAT I HAD BEEN HORDING ALL OF WHICH WERE MOVIES ) that about covers it all PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO.
Ps: I apoligize if I have given too many unrelevant details, not enough usefull information and or if i was just all over the place with my explanations but I am really frustrated and was hoping not to miss anyting. Please let me know if any information at all is required and ill do my best to provide it.
Thank You

Contact Rhapsody to see if they have or plan to release an update for the app. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

My iphone 5 turns itself off even with full charge

My iPhone 5 turns itself off even with a full charge. Any help would be appreciated.

That's a very strange issue, but at the moment it could be software or hardware - the only way to find out is by restoring the iPhone.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 has all the information you need to backup and restore the iPhone.
If it's a software issue, it'll be completely fixed by restoring the iPhone!
If it's hardware, the same thing will still happen even after restoring, and you'll want to get the iPhone serviced.

Even with restrictions on location services for icloud turn off

I have been on the forums a b-jillion times looking up this same question. Our phones (hubs and I 4 and 4s) continually turn off the "find my iphone" bit in location services. I have locked it in restrictions after turning it on-passcode locked it. I have tried everything multiple times and yet it still happens on both of our phones, though his more than mine! Now my phone is gone and I put an erase order in almost immediately as it was taken out of my car. It says it will happen the next time it is connected to the internet. I check icloud often...nothing. Then, fifteen days later someone is using my facebook acct! It still doesn't show up on icloud as ever erasing or connecting to the internet!! What the.....?

Hi there I was having the same issues myself an I know it can be a pain because its a real battery drainer. The tip I have that worked for me is I went to location services and one by one I turned off each individual apps location service until the arrow went off so I was able to quickly find the app that was causing the issues (allow about 5 or so seconds between each app after you turn if off) after you find the bad app you can go into that apps settings to try to fix it. Or for me the app never stopped searching my location even with the app fully closed. ( so I deleted the app ) I hope this tip helps out
