Sound has gone all whacky

Somehow my settings have changed, but I'm not sure where or how. When I go to play something on youtube, in itunes, or in quicktime, the sound is either very faint, distant and thin, or is just a bunch of shreiks and squeeking noises.
Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks

Sounds more like a computer problem than just QT. Suggest that you re-post over in the Using your Intel-based iMac Forums. Took a guess as that is the model iMac you based on your previous postings in the above mentioned forum.
In the meantime check your Sound Settings:
System Preferences>Sound>Input. Also check your output settings.
Another place to check:
1. Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
2. Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
3. Quit Audio MIDI Setup.

So just to be clear on a few things:
Should partitioning the hard drive not work is it undoable?
Will this have any impact on doing a complete erase and reinstall and will that restore it back from the process?
Is there a limited amount of space that makes this process ineffective?
I have never had to do this sort of thing so I just want to be sure I don;t wind up in the dog house *)
Thanks again

The ringtones are working but all other sounds are not working please help

I had this problem on my iPod Touch 4g. Just press the home and sleep button. Wait and it will give an iTunes and cable logo. Now you can put in DFU mode (Hold Sleep and Home button 10 seconds and then release the power button kand keep pressing on the home button.) Now you will be able to restore it in iTunes.
If you didn't sell it in al this time

Until you have tried Maps, Music, etc. first hand, I wouldn't formulate negative opinions about them. And updates, if performed correctly, do not erase data.
I presume that last time you updated through iTunes. This time, update over Wi-Fi by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

The screen of my iPod has gone all red.

The screen of my iPod has gone all red and the whites have become blue rain like thing. Its one and a half year old iPad. Really disappointed

"Not to my knowledge."
Hmmm. Are you being completely open with us?
If it was dropped by friend or family, other threads here on this phenomemna indicate slapping it on the back a couple of times with increasing intensity caused the screen to return to normal....but no comment on how long it remained normal. Do a search on this forum for "red screen."
If you can state with certainty that it was not dropped, and if it is still under extended warranty, and if the Apple store believes you, they may give you a rebuilt one.

I suspect you are correct. I would suggest you bring it to a repair facility that may have better diagnostic tools, preferably an Apple store genius bar.

Macbook screen has gone all fuzzy

Yesterday I updated my mac with the new SMC firmware.
On the restart my screen has gone all fuzzy, and the colours have gone all strange.
It does this in both mac OS X, windows vista and the boot screen. When I take a screen grab of the screen and send it to another computer the image is normal, as if this problem did not occur.
I've done a hardware test from my install disks and it turned up no problem. I have also tried resetting the SMC firmware by turning the laptop off, unplugging the battery and holding the power button, but so far nothing has changed.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

GfulDedFan,
Thank you for your reply,
I might have been wrong about the SMC update.
I got the update on my machine on the 17th, and I wasn't sure what exactly it was, and assumed it was the SMC update as it came out on the same date.
My machine is running an Intel chip set and was purchased in mid-2007.

After getting my screen repaired at apple store, my sound has gone strange.

after getting my screen repaired at apple store, my sound has gone strange. Has anyone else had that problem? how could i fix it? Its harder to hear and it sounds strange.

Hey Paul,
Sadly no, I don't think it will get resolved any time. Do you have the exact same issues?
Please let me know if you solve it. Did you contact Apple support? What did they say?
THanks

Where did the iPhone Calendar list function(s) go with iOS7? The Calendar has gone all 'spread sheet' on me and definitely not user friendly. Please advise.

Where did the iPhone Calendar list function(s) go with iOS7? The Calendar has gone all 'spread sheet' on me. If you select an item (grey dot) from the month display it will open up the 'spread sheet' at the current time of day, not necessarily when the calendar entry takes place. I liked iOS6 where you could turn your iPhone to landscape mode and get that special 'spread sheet' feel if that's what you're into. Has a 'List' presentation been removed from the iPhone Calendar with iOS7?

The List view is displayed by tapping the Search magnifying glass.

Updated to 10.5.4 on my Air - but the SOUND has gone!

I just updated my OS today, and as a result of the update, the volume control has gone away. There is no sound on the laptop. On the Sound menu - it says it does not find any output devices!
Can you help?

Hi,
I just had the same issue and found an answer in this forum. I'm not sure how to refer you to the original post but here's the solution that was recommended and it worked for me:

Sound has gone from my games

For no reason that I can see, the sound has been disabled or something in all my games. I've tried checking settings, but there's nothin there to explain it. Any ideas?

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music/iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

MacBook Pro Core Duo 2GHz display has gone all weird!

I've just booted my MacBook Pro up and the initial Apple logo you see on boot up was looking all weird. Like the lines were broken up, the picture had gone kinda fuzzy.
Reaching the desktop, the OS X default background had turned in to about 6 colours. Blue, purple, green, gold, turquoise, yellow.
I've tried rebooting several times, I've even booted in to my Vista partition but none has fixed the problem.
Connecting my external display to it (30-inch Cinema Display) shows my picture perfectly fine, so I guess it's a display issue?

Thanks for the reply.
I've just been on the phone to their overseas technical support with the most unclear line ever.
Because my MBP is over its 90 day complimentary support, they need me to take it to a service center.
This is the third time I've had a problem with this same unit.
First time was the recall for the whining noise, second the hard drive died and now this is the third with the display.
I can't believe Apple will not offer me anything better than to bring it in to a service center.
I remember doing that when the hard drive died and without a car it was a nightmare getting there, back and there again to collect and return.
So I said, how about I pay for a courier to send it to you and for it to come back? Nope, they don't offer that service.
I hear all sorts of great stuff about Apple Customer Support, but it's a shame the majority of these stories come from the US.
Why is Apple UK so insistent on giving service that is under par with what I can get with a £300 laptop from Currys or PC World?

Two-Thirds of my screen has gone all funny

Can anyone help? About two days ago I turned on my MacBook and just to the left of the camera a section on the screen had some faulty dots on it. It was all contained within a 2 inch strip from top to bottom. Now not only is there that but everything to the right of that area is distorted. When I took a snapshot of the screen that area appeared fine! I am confused and do not know what to do!
Any help advice welcome!
Thanks

I have been having the same thing happen to my screen as well. It started a couple weeks ago and it happens after I travel. I open the laptop and it has these small blinking random dots in a 2" ribbon down the screen, just to the left of the camera. They distort and appear to cluster around any graphics. After a day or two they go away. When I travel my MacBook is always in a padded sleeve and I am careful not to toss it around.....anyone have any thoughts on what is up?

Sound has gone on my phone ?

There is no sound on my phone ie can't hear it ring or when a message comes through although still vibrates ? Key sounds gone also ?

Do you have the mute switch engaged? It's the little slider over the volume buttons on the side. If you can see orange, it's engaged. Slide it the other way.
