Sound issues in different applications

I'm having trouble with sound. I've got a iMac G5 17" 1.8ghz, and recently the sound has stopped working correctly in all applications. The biggest problem is Shockwave Flash, in which I get no sound at all. Also have had times when playing avi files in Mplayer or Quicktime would have choppy audio and overall slow playback, where before both would play fine in either program. Tonight Quicktime is okay but Mplayer is still slow. I think these problems started after upgrading to the most recent iTunes. I also upgraded my RAM recently to 1.256gb, but the problems started well after the upgrade. Any ideas??

Can anyone recommend a decent, totally free sound equalizer app or program to work across different applications on my Mac?

I am running OS 10.9.2.
Thanks!

NeoOffice was a OS X adaptation of OpenOffice because there wasn't a OS X version when the "Mac" came back from the dead basically.
Sun which owned OpenOffice, was bought by Oracle, which all the developers left finding out Oracle wasn't going to support OpenOffice anymore.
The developers of OpenOffice went and formed LibreOffice, which got some serious cash donations and now is the new fork of OpenOffice.
So if you have files in NeoOffice, OpenOffice or Microsoft Office, they will work just fine in LibreOffice.
LibreOffice is getitng all the attention now that's it's truly "free" and many more developers worldwide are looking at the code and contributing to it.
So LibreOffice is what you need. It's also cross platform, Linux, OS X or Windows. AND free. (but you should contribute funds)

Sound issue in Lynx K3011w in win 8.1

After upgrade to win 8.1, I found two instances of the sound issue. During watching video, the very high freq, signal turn sound come out. It does not stop even I close the video player. I have reboot to stop the sound.
Anyone has this issue? Do you know how to resolve it?
Thanks.

I managed to use the wlappc task in a different way.
Commented the part of weblogic task which is part of ejbjar task. After the ejbjar prepares the jar file it is best to pass the jar file to wlappc task.
In my case as the ejbjar task was preparing multiple jar files I prepared a temporary ear file and put all the jars inside it. Then gave this ear file to be processed by wlappc task with an application.xml file that has the list of the jar file names. Once wlappc task has processed all the jar files into a different output I deleted the temporary ear file.
Please let me know if there is any other good solution.

Strange sound issue on iPad2

my mom is having odd sound issues on her iPad 2 that i was able to somewhat fix. and it goes from fixed back to broken o.O
i thought it was interesting and worth mentioning, in case this happens to anyone else.
her iPad 2 is up to date on the latest iOS (5.0.1) and the issue occured while she was watching a video in YouTube. sound is totally off in all apps. in Settings>General under 'use side switch to' it is set to 'mute'. when going to Settings>General>Sounds the volume control for ringers will work and cause the ringtone to play, so it seems the speaker itself is fine. however it will only work there and for that short time. afterward sound will continue to remain off. the volume control on the side of the unit will bring up the on screen speaker icon, except it doesnt show the bar that usually goes up and down with the volume. and sometimes at the top of the grey box it will say 'sound effects'. ive also tried switching the mute on and off which changes nothing.
the one thing ive found that changes anything is the multi tasking bar volume control (double clicking the home button and then sliding all the way to the left, where it shows a screen orientation lock, brightness slider and a volume control bar). now the volume control bar is unfilled and doesnt show the dot that you can slide up and down to change the volume. however when i plug the iPad 2 into a computer (any computer seems to cause this) the volume control bar will suddenly fill and the dot will appear. now suddenly sound works in all apps and will change with the side control again as normal.
now heres where it gets even weirder!!!
sometimes when unplugging the iPad 2, after a short while volume will slowly fade out and be unresponsive again. the side buttons stop working and the volume control in the multi tasking bar will be unfilled and unresponsive. repeatedly plugging it in, going back to the multi tasking bar volume control and unplugging will eventually bring volume back. a couple times ive gotten volume to stay on and the volume bar to stay responsive by unplugging it while im in the multi tasking bar. but sometimes this is not the case.
for the record, ive tried 'turning it off and on again' and resetting all settings and erasing all content and settings (both with starting up from a back up on iCloud and PC, and starting up as a new iPad). ive used two different laptops, one with Windows Vista and one with Windows 7. the iPad is synced with one laptop but aside from using iTunes to back it up and for charging, ive not made any changes to the iPad using these devices. during the entire duration of my attempts to fix it, the iPad has been on no lower than 80% power. ive also called Apple and discussed this with an Apple Care representative. who suggested all the same things id already done, and walked me through all the fixes to make sure i didnt skip anything.
hopefully and most probable is that its just an issue with iOS 5.0.1. i also have an iPad 2 thats up to date with 5.0.1 and ive not had this issue, YET.
i just thought it would be beneficial to the community to share this issue and get word out that this is happening. i would like to hear everyones thoughts on this issue and if this has happened to anyone else. the Apple Representative that i spoke to had not heard of or had to deal with this issue so it sounds like its rather new or rare. though she did mention that this is not normal behavior for the device and might be a software issue.
id like to conclude with my love for Apple, and how user friendly iDevices are in general. ive had iPods from the very first generation and all of them still work (though the older ones cant be updated past a certain iOS). the few issues ive ever had were easily fixed with a visit to the Apple Store or searching on the Apple Support Communities. so as with before, i will remain positive and look forward to a bug fix in the next update.
-thanks in advanced for reading, and any comments

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the 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

Deploying EJBs with same name in different application jars on JBOSS

Hi,
We are attempting to deploy entity beans with the same name in 2 different EJB application jars on jboss 3.2.5. One bean is an extension of the other, so some of the DB columns they refer to are the same (they access different DB tables in different tablespaces). However, the field names corresponding to these DB columns in the beans themselves are different (i.e. DB column serviceid is associated with the field serviceid in one bean and service_id in the other).
We have altered jboss.xml for one of the EJB applications so that the jndi-name used to access that application's bean is different to the jndi-name used to access the entity bean in the other EJB jar.
However, when we attempt to deploy both jar files on the same jboss server, one of the applications deploys successfully and when we deploy the other, we get EJB spec violation errors, such as the following:
14:18:34,631 WARN [verifier] EJB spec violation:
Bean : CommunityAddress
Section: 10.6.2
Warning: The entity bean class must define a get accessor for each CMP field.
Info : Field: service_id
I'm presuming that this is because the bean which references the serviceid DB column with a field called serviceid is being mixed up with the other bean, which has a service_id field.
Can anyone tell me if there is anything else that is required to get entity beans/EJBs in different applications but with the same names (and some overlapping fields, etc) deployed successfully on the same jboss server apart from editing jboss.xml for one of the applications?
Is this a jbosscmp-jdbc.xml issue?
Any help much appreciated,
Maurice

Hi Srinath
Thanks for your response. Its not cloning, its like check-in file first, then check-out the file and do some editing and then again upload the same file with different revision number using RIDC. I got the solution now.

Is it possible to play my guitar and have the sound changed to different instrument like a sax? Like an emulator.

Is it possible to play my guitar and have the sound changed to different instrument like a sax? Have my Mac act as an emulator. I'm a guitar player, not a sax player, but I want a sax solo in my song.

You'd need a midi guitar for that. GarageBand does not create midi from audio. Use a different application, like Finale to create a midi file from your Guitar audio file.
Or play the sax track using a midi keyboard or simply GarageBand's musical typing. You can use the track editor to add expression and articulation afterwards.

Licensing issue by using Applications AC and PC

Hi,
The SAP GRC 10.0 solution comes as bundled solution for AC, PC and RM. While downloading the SAP GRC 10.0 all the three components are downloaded but in a dormant state.
With the release of GRC 10.0, Access Control and Process Control are offered as an integrated solution, both at the data layer and at the user interface layer. This new unified platform enables increased harmonization of key master data.
GRC 10.0 is a harmonized platform. Although maintenance of data within AC and PC is similar in 10.0 as it was in previous releases, there are some key differences. The following master data is shared between AC and PC for the release 10.0 integration scenario.
u2022 Organizations
u2022 Business Processes
u2022 Business Subprocesses
u2022 Controls
SAP GRC System Add-ons:
Access Control, Process Control and Risk Management are contained in one ABAP add-on u201CGRCFND_Au201D
SAP Backend System Plug-ins:
A. GRCPINW: NW Function Modules hold the AC functions for ERP systems without HR (former non-HR RTA)
B. GRCPIERP: PC relevant features are contained in the plug-in GRCPIERP, for example, for running automated controls and the HR relevant functions for AC (former HR RTA)
There are multiple activation points for AC, PC and RM:
u2022 SAP GRC SPRO -> activate the Application. However
u2022 When we go for the Plug-ins (GRCPIERP) installation in backend systems with HR function module it also brings in the PC relevant features.
u2022 Mitigating Control definition based on Organizations
I had activated the Application AC and PC for some time assuming that PC is required to create the Mitigation Control and Organizations. However I just realized that Mitigating Control and Organization can be created even without Activating PC, which does nothing but removes the additional features of PC.
My Query:
u2022 Kindly let me know if I can still use PC to create and assign Mitigating Control as a shared resource for AC and PC or I have violated Licensing issue by using Applications AC and PC when I am supposed to use just Access Control.
u2022 How is shared resources in SAP GRC 10 dealt in terms of Licensing of Applications in SAP GRC 10.
Thanking you in advance.

all the new pc's we've purchased for a time now, don't have a Win7 CoA product key attached, even though they come with Win7 downgrade rights, so your strategy to use the CoA pkeys for the Win7 install on the new machines might be flawed.
We don't buy HP, and I'm in Australia, so I'm not sure if this will be the same for you.
Also, the OEM image that you would use to re-deploy/re-image with, may need to be different for varying models (OEMs might include different drivers, or other checks or blockers, in their image and OOBE scripts), and, the embedded OEM "master" product key/certificate
could vary (or not align) across model types/generations.
Ours do have the SLIC table in firmware and the OA markers, and we use VL Win7 Enterprise anyway, so our 40,000 machine fleet means VL and Software Assurance as a part of our EA + Select is an (expensive) no-brainer really.
The other thought I have for you, is the re-imaging rights that are bestowed when you have a VL agreement (and therefore, are not bestowed if you don't have one). Because we do have a VL agreement, I've never dived into how it might be worked if we didn't
have VL.
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/briefs/reimaging.aspx
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/briefs/downgrade-rights.aspx
If you do look at a VL agreement, I'm told they start from as few as 5 machines. And, if you purchase new pc's, you have the option to enrol the new pc's into Software
Assurance within 90days of purchase, which I imagine would save you some cost, compared to attaching SA to them at a later time, presumably requiring you to pay full ticket price for that.
I'd recommend you get some advice from an MS reseller, even if only to work out what the various options/costs might be.

Iphone 5s application icon (yahoo) automatically changes to a different application icon (macys).

iphone 5s running
ios 8.1 application icon (yahoo) automatically changes to a different application icon (macys). When you click the icon, it directs you to Yahoo. I have had this issue before but the last time the icon was changed to wikipedia. The last time this happened, i reset my phone. I bought this phone new almost 2 years ago and have been the sole owner and I have never attempted to jailbreak my phone. Does anyone know what the issue could be?

The problem is now resolved. The only thing that I did was to make netscape the default. I always the write code. I think that somehow I must have hit publish, I still am still not sure. Thanks for all the help

Icon issues in XCode Application Uploader

We are currently updating our applications. When I try to upload the binary through the Xcode Application updater I continue to get this message,
I have tried with with 2 different application uploads and recieved the same results. Everything went smoothly with the viewer builder. I have double checked all of the icons and they are all built to the correct size and have been saved as .pngs
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Luke

OOOOOOK. I literally just kept rebuilding the 72x72 icon, rebuilding the app, and resubmitting to the application uploader. On the 5th try it worked and the build submitted sucessfully. I wish I could say I felt it was solved, but at least everything I needed to get out today is off to Apple. I do not think this is a DPS issue, but more of an Xcode thing. I hope it works itself out!!

Sound issues with Macbook

I have a Macbook. Recently the sound on my Macbook has become very quiet and lacking in bass. I have checked all sound settings. The issue persists in OSX and Windows. The issue occurs with both speakers. Laptop has not been dropped or abused.Sound

The fact it happens both in Mac OS X and Windows, and I'm assuming you mean Boot Camp windows, suggests it is a hardware issue. If you are using any other virtualization tool, check your Audio Midi tool settings in application found in your Applications -> Utilities folder on your Mac. It can affect the sound out in numerous applications. If the machine is over 4 years old, have the PRAM battery replaced. If none of this appears to help, bring it in for service.

I cannot see any screenshot here, what do you mean same application name but different path?

Why does the "alert" noise sound when I open applications?

When I first got this mac, it did not sound when I opened applications, so it's definitely not normal.
I also do not think that this is a type of setting that can be changed, and if it was, I surely did not set it (and nobody else has access to my computer)
I don't know if this is a virus?

Hi,
Not quite the same issue as yours... But I sometimes get the Alert sound when closing Multiple Windows...
What I do is simply Log Out and then Back In again and it's gone...
( I did Bug Report this to Apple Months ago... )
Cheers,

I can't play any songs on iTunes. It is not a sound issue. when I highlight the song I want it just never plays. The bar up at the top never moves. Any thoughts?

Applications > Quicktime general media player. This will help us tell if it is an iTunes problem or something more general.

Sound issue with apple tv

hi ,
I am getting sound issue with my apple tv recently. when you navigate around the apple tv menu, the sounds are there but when i try to play any video, the sound is not coming out. (Same with airplay)
The issue can be fix with restarting my apple TV. However, i want a permanent fix. it's not APPLE product at all to always restart to get the apple TV to play sound.
Anyone know any permanent fix? All the software are latest.

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 (NetStumbler for windows users) 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 or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.

Sound issue on hp 2313ax

I have purchased this laptop in the feb , till now I havent got any solution of my sound issue in 2313ax
The problem is quite different , my laptop came with free dos , when I installed windows 8 64 bit ( pro ) , there is distortion in sound while playing any song or playing a game , the distortion is like a glitch or electrical distrubance and happens every now and then , it very frustating .
But the interesting part is when I installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit , no problem at all , sound issue is like it never existed.
When I called up the HP customer care , they were telling me that this model has different motherboard for win7 and win8 , to be honest I havent heard such a ridiculous excuse , how is this possible ?
And even if this model has different motherboards for different OS , HP should mention it at the site too in the specifications .
Irony is that when you try to download the drivers for this laptop , you will find that it is given only for winodws 8 . LOL
And they say we have different motherboards for win 7 and win8 .
Anyways , also one issue that bugs me , in windows 7 in dxdiag , video memory is shown 993 mb only
windows 8 it was showing correct around 5048 mb .
This forum is my last hope , dont know what to do ?

Hello utsav21,
Please call HP and speak to a representative about your issue.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, begin Here.
Please let me know if they take care of you.
Good luck!
