Sound Issues with Mac OS X 10.4.10 ?

I had successfully updated to 10.4.10. However, now whenever I use iTunes and start a song, I get a "Pop" noise from my Creature II speaker system. After I stop the song and a few seconds later, I get a "Pop" noise from my speakers. So, it sounds like the MacMini is initializing the speaker before and after playing sound through the sound card. I don't know. Has anyone has issues with this "Pop" noise? Is there a setting I can look at to get rid of this "initializing" sound? This is driving me nuts! I do not remember this "Pop" sound during my normal usage under 10.4.9. Thanks, Tony.

My wife's mini had a similar issue. She upgraded to 10.4.10 and her sound stopped working. She would also get the login screen freezes. Where her computer is located, turning off Airport is not an option, and the sound issue is very frustrating. I helped her restore her entire computer from a 10.4.9 backup she had made just a couple days before, and while the lockup problems are gone, the headphone jack still will not output sound. Just two pops when you plug the speakers in, and that's it. I've tried resetting the PMU with no luck. I hope Apple fixes whatever it is they screwed up, and soon. I won't be applying 10.4.10 to any of my other machines.

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.

I am having sound issues with Pottermore while using Safari 6.1. I once muted the sound and now can't unmute it even though the icon tells me it's unmated. I can hear samples of audio books in the store section. Any ideas?

Compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 on G5 PowerMac?

Are there compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard V. 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 when installed on a PowerMac G5? I understand the Leopard upgrade is okay on the later Intel Mac, but what about my G5 PowerPC Mac?

I do not use Microsoft Excel much but when i do use it it works fine on my G5. my powerbook has excel to but sometimes freezes on the powerbook. but not the G5 so give it a try you can always uninstall it if it does not work good

Vista SP 1 Sound Issues with Creative Drivers

Hi all, I recently switched to a X-Fi Elite Pro, with a Nvidia Video Card.
Windows Vista SP (32bit)
Intel Pentium D .8 Ghz
2gb RAM
XFX GeForce 8600 GT 52mb running
Creative X-Fi Elite Pro
(it's been a while since I've needed this kind of support so let me know if more info is needed)
Anyways, from the moment Vista plays the logon sound there is static crackling and chirping noises whenever there is audio playing at the same time as any kind of visual change on the screen (not every screen update). For example videos on websites that play them as plugins are especially static-y. However, playing a fullscreen game (i.e. World of Warcraft) does not produce the static.
Interestingly, I have now tried two different video cards. The Nvidia and now a ATI Radeon, both have the same identical problem. I first thought that it might just be a Nvidia Issue but this is not the case
I have checked for IRQ conflicts and none exist that I can find. I have updated Windows as much as I think I can. I've tried changing Creative drivers as well.
Any advice is appreciated.Message Edited by djscotty on 0-04-2009 05:7 [email protected]

It is almost impossible to diagnose sounds over the internet, however here is a link to some failing HD sounds. If one of yours be happy, at any rate take it in for service. If you got AppleCare or it's less than a year old it's covered.

Startup Issues with Mac OS 10.4

Hello
My wife has a G4 Tower with Mac OS 10.4 Tiger installed.
When she starts up, she gets a flashing question mark, then the computer boots briefly after that.
I found on the apple site an article that said all she needs to do is select the correct startup disk in the startup disk preferences.
So we did that, and restarted.
Thats when more serious problems began...
Her computer started up after quite a bit of time, but her screen (for lack of a better word) was completely messed up. She had like a double image going where as if the screen was duplicated and moved diagonally upwards to the right. Two arrows, two sets of folders, it looked really odd.
This happened before awhile back, and we managed to fix it (forget how).
So then she restarts the system, and it just beeps at her, the screen is completely grey (no icons), and there's just a "beep beep.... beep beep..."
We restarted a couple more times with no resolve. So then she decides to Zap the PRam. After doing that, we got the flashing question mark back, and the computer started up as normal...
So now we're a little reluctant to do anything else, but it seems very odd that selecting the startup disk sent the computer into a tailspin.
Just an FYI, our copy of Mac OS 10.4 IS a legal copy, so it's not some sort of "piracy" issue incase people were thinking that way...
Hope someone can help.. Thanks in advance..

Hello Again! Most new drives should arrive with the auto spin enabled but there are so many drives out there it's hard to tell without getting the specs and checking the drive. When the pram was reset was the procedure below followed?
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

Auto-generated birthdays [Address Book - iCal] issues with Mac OS X 10.4.4

Substantial changes were made to iCal, the Address Book and to Sync Services with the release of the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update. Clearly, not all of the results were intended.
The automatically generated Birthdays calendar has presented at least two issues in my configuration:
Just before installing the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update, the birthdays appeared in iCal as expected but, immediately afterward, none appeared at all. They were still embedded in my Address Book records, and the action of cutting and pasting just one of them in an Address Book record resulted in the immediate propogation of all of them again in iCal. Great. Obviously, there is now a system-level problem with the data interchange between the Address Book and iCal. This phenomena has only surfaced since the application of the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update.
This evening, I noticed that birthdays were no longer displayed in iCal following a synchronization, though the calendar remained intact . Stranger yet, they had all been removed from the matching Address Book records which generate these entries: every one of them! I believe that a Sync Services issue caused their removal, and it is for that reason alone that they no longer appeared in iCal.
Resetting the contact records alone using .Mac as the source did no good. Not only are they not visible on the .Mac address book pages, birthdays data is also apparently not retrievable. Hmm - passed through, but not stored. Not good.
I was able to revert to a 3-day old, almost identical record set, and all of the 'restored' records with birthdays instantly had a matching iCal entry in the Birthdays calendar.
All I can say is: back up. And, back up often. [I had used the Back up Address Book… option under the File menu, so restoring them was a rapid and painless process.]
I wonder when we will see a maintenance update to Sync Services, the Address Book and iCal?

Sound issues on Mac Pro

I have an external speaker system "Yamaha Home Theatre sound system" Which is working fine through the digital optical connection on the back of my Mac Pro.
I have just install Windows XP on a separate internal drive but I can't figure out how to get the MP to recognize the Yamaha system via Windows! I accessed the the volume control in Windows but the advanced controls are grayed out.
Has anyone managed to get an external sound system working through Windows on an Mac Pro and if so how did you achieve this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards Denis.

Earpieace / Sound Issues with Droid Razr M

Having issues with my phone, bought new in September 2012, since yesterday morning.
When I make a call using the earpiece, I cannot hear it ringing (like dialing out to them) and after they answer, I cannot hear the person on the other end when they speak. If I put it on speakerphone, they can hear me just fine and I can hear them. Also on speakerphone, I can hear it ringing (dialing out). When receiving a call, my ringtone audibly works, but then the same situation applies once I answer it - I cannot hear they, but they can hear me. Again, if I put it on speakerphone, both parties can hear each other. My alarm / ringtone works just fine, as well as all my other ringtone / notifications - such as text, etc. But, if I try to play a YouTube video, play music through Pandora, or play another audio / video file with sound, it does not produce any sound, even through headphones attached to the jack. It also plays sound when starting up - the "Droid".
Seems like a phone issue considering it is working for some things, but not for others. I have gone through and checked all settings, tried it in safe mode, did reboots, etc, but all to no avail. Anyone have any other troubleshooting suggestions, or are having the same problem? It seems I have going to have to have it replaced - hoping this would be a manufacturers defect replacement though and not something that I should have to use my insurance on!
Thanks!

Internal hard drive issue with Mac Pro

I work for two office that share information through a VPN. Each office has one Mac Pro being used as a server for data storage. The Pros have four internal hard drives (1TB each).
Hard drives in the Pro for OFFICE 1 were configured like so:
HD1 - OS/Boot drive
HD2 - Time Machine backup of HD1/DATA1/DATA2
DATA1 - Data storage
DATA2 - Data storage
Three weeks ago: Time Machine could not find HD2 and could not backup. I rebooted the machine and HD2 reappeared. However, after the reboot, DATA1 did not mount. I was unable to find DATA1 in Disk Utility. However, the drive could be accessed by all other Macs on the network. This machine was taken to the local Apple Store and we were told that HD2 was a bad drive and need to be replaced. We opted not to replaced the drive at this time and turned Time Machine backups off. We haven't had any problems with DATA1 since. (NOTE: During the weeks prior, the client machines intermittently lost connection with DATA1 and would have to reconnect)
Last week: OFFICE 2 - Mac Pro hard drives configured the same as OFFICE 1; however, HD2 was not used for TM backups. TM was turned on and set to backup HD1/DATA1/DATA2 to HD2 (exactly like OFFICE 1). The next day, TM could not find HD2 and backups stopped running. I rebooted the machine, HD2 reappeared, but we did not restart the TM backups.
Today: OFFICE 2 client machines have experienced intermittent disconnecting of DATA1.
I wasn't extremely concerned with the situation at OFFICE 1 as these Pros are almost five years old and in constant use. We plan on purchasing an external drive for the TM backups. HOWEVER, with a similar situation now being experienced in OFFICE 2, I am perplexed.
Could both machine be experiencing hard drive failures weeks apart? They were both purchased and installed at the same time.
Is there a known issue with TM and internal drives?
One difference between the two machines: OFFICE 1 is running OS X 10.8.5; OFFICE 2 runs 10.6.8
Any suggestions/help is appreciated. Thanks!

Relying on TimeMachine has some issues, along with only having one, I use at least two swapping TimeMachine so that they rotate AND I clone every drive (volume actually) so I can swap drives if need be, especially useful for t he system but good for any drive.
Power issues in t he buildings?
There are some programs that will scan for and report and./or attempt to reassign a failing sector ("fail" is qualitative, is 10 write failures a fail? then the 9th is not but it is a "weak sector.") Some run in the background.
Mirror can be 2 or 3 ( I prefer 3, that way if one fails I STILL have a mirror array in place) where any failure is not acceptable, AND where the array data is backed up usually - less important when using a three-drive configurations.
How old, when last initialized (zero), and is it showing spare blocks being used? that last is the most indicative of failed drive.
Rare but a bad SATA cable or power (seeing how the cables are tucked away) is only way generally for multiple failures in same drive bay or computer. Note: early on in 2006-7 there were reports of some customers having motherboard and trouble with a drive bay , and t he problems showed up early.
Often though it is NVRAM or SMC related issue trigged by something else, a USB cable or device that is faulty, even a PCIe controller that is the culprit. And replacing cable, keyboard, device, and resetting SMC and NVRAM (often NVRAM needed to be done multiple times, but never keep resetting SMC) - unplugged and when you connect back up, do not install anything other than system, keyboard and mouse and see if that helps.
With a drive, likely the drive in 85% or more, is fine, but the directory is not, or it needs to be erased to rebuild all the system partitions.
1TB is small for TimeMachine. 350% of the amount of data, and always have free space for a full backup set of all the data. T.M. will try and prefers to automatically backup any and everything plugged in and connected, rather than my preference which is ASK FIRST to add a drive to TM backup set, otherwise leave it out. 600GB of data and system would mean 2.5TB drive, maybe 2TB minimum.
