Sound Lost with Yosemite update

Hey all, adding my name to the list of everyone having sound problems. I searched but did not find a specific way to fix the problem...maybe Apple will finally fix the bug in an upcoming update? Until then this is very annoying.
I hear no sound and have to go to System Preferences, then Sound and for some random reason a "Soundflower 64ch" is always selected; I have no idea what this is. I have to change to internal speakers then I have sound. The setting does not get saved because every time I reboot I have to manually change my sound output...I have never have to do this before.
Reset PRAM
Repaired Permissions
Not sure what else can fix this? Other people having same issues

This is a user to user forum. I can't fix it.
You can either contact the manufacturer of SoundSticks and your headphones that function on USB and let them know they did not follow specs that Apple tries to do to the letter on http://developer.apple.com/
Sign up at the above link for a free online developer account, and give a bug report:

Bring it in to the store, and see if the issue reproduces itself on other machines with 10.6.7.

Macbook Pro Mid 2012: Issues with Yosemite update, graphics, and hard drive.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012)
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
I've used 192.8 GB
Operating System: 10.10.1 (14B25) YOSEMITE UPDATE
I've been experiencing problems with my Macbook Pro shortly after the two year mark of when I've purchased it. There are a few things that are going on. I recently verified my Macintosh HD disk through disk utility and it stated in red that there was an incorrect number of file hard links & then error: This disk needs to be repaired and to restart and then press "R". However, everything before that seemed to have passed. I have everything backed up on an external hard drive and use the time machine frequently. Another thing that has been happening, usually when I'm opening one my adobe programs, is that my screen will go white for a minute along with unidentifiable pink glitchy shapes that don't move. My computer has not been running like it used to and is running slow, freezing, and periodically going white --- as I just mentioned before. I just know that something isn't it right. I've been having to restart my computer by manually pressing the power button more than I've ever had over the past two years. I always work on my computer on a hard surface in a cool area & my fans seem to behaving okay. I also recently installed the Yosemite update for the mac sometime during this past November too and noticed slower running speed, more freezing, and longer times to boot up afterwards. Please speak up if you're experiencing problems with your 2012 Macbook pro too and especially after downloading the Yosemite upgrade. I don't see how it's in any way acceptable that I should have to deal with issues pertaining to my graphics card. Sorry for this post being a little all over the place.

Hello brousch,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that your Mac is spontaneously restarting whenever you see a certain animation on your screen. This indicates your Mac is getting a kernel panic caused by that animation. If you'd like to learn more about kernel panics, including how to troublshoot them, please take a look at the information in the link below.

Have a great weekend,

How to get back software I lost with Belle update?

I had the following games installed on my N8 when there was this "Summer Game Gifts" campaign:
- Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. HD+
- Angry Birds Seasons
- The Settlers
- Angry Birds Rio
- Monopoly Classic HD
- Worms HD
- GT Racing HD+
- Tetris HD
- Guitar Rock Tour 2 HD
They are all, besides of almost every other program/app I had installed, lost with the Belle update. Only Tetris is still on my mobile, maybe I had installed it accidentally on C: and not like all the other games on E:
All the games don't appear in my Nokia Store history ... but one game "Brain+" appears in my history but costs now 90c, I downloaded it for free like two months ago.
Why isn't the update making a backup of ALL applications if also applications on E: are deleted during the update process?
And my prime question: How can I get back all this games?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is a FAQ by Nokia regarding the Belle update and more specifically what apps are not yet compatible.
http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/nokia-belle-update/nokia-belle-update-faq?intc=ncompromolp-fw-...
So far, the Belle update seems to be the most problematic update yet and given the time it's taken them to release the update since they announced it back in August 2011, you'd have thought it would have been a lot better than this.
All the best.
Ray.

Sleep wake problems with Yosemite update

I faced a multitude of issues with Yosemite 10.10. Following the 10.10.1 update, some of those were solved, but some still remained, namely those related to the Mail app, where mail server has to be selected manually. However, a new problem has arisen with the update: after going on sleep mode, the system does not wake, and needs to be rebooted. This happens every time, and makes me wonder about Apple's reliability, as it is starting to feel microsoft Vista like. Polishing the looks of the system is fine, bu doing so at the expense of performance, reliability and overall user experience is unacceptable. Looks as if a further update can not come soon enough.

Several problems with Yosemite update on my iMac/27"/mid-2011, but first Preview won't work...

When I try to open a jpeg with Preview, I get an error message stating that I need to reopen Preview. This doesn't help. When I try to open Preview Preferences, nothing happens. I have had multiple issues with Yosemite since upgrading just a few days ago. This is just one of them.

Quit Preview.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following.
Containers/com.apple.Preview
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState

App Sound lost with 2.1 update

iPhone 3G, 16 GB.
I have 4 apps with sound (Tap Tap, Labyrinth, Cowabunga, Cube Runner). All worked before the 2.1 update but now only Cowabunga has any sound. (using speaker; I don't use headphones for games).
Some others have reported sound problems but I have not yet found a correlation with 2.1.
There does not seem to be any setting to adjust sound for apps, only for phone and texting. Those sounds are mostly turned on.
I have not tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but others who did try that for their sound problems did not find that it helped.
Is there some non-obvious setting I can change?

I'm having the same problem, only just got my iphone, videos, itunes, ringtones all work fine, but no sound through the speakers for games and apps.
It comes through the headphones ok.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this please?
thanks a lot

Sound problems with Yosemite when switching from internal speakers to earbuds

After upgrading to Yosemite on my Macbook Pro, when I switch from using the internal speakers for sound and plug in my (Apple) earbuds, the sound stops working. The sound also stops when I do the reverse and unplug my earbuds, nothing comes out of the internal speakers. The only way to restore sound is to go into System Preferences, Sound, and select the output device (internal speakers, earphones, etc..). Anyone else experiencing this problem after installing Yosemite, or know of a fix?

I have the same problem..
there is something else happened twice with me, I plugged my macbook with a HDMI cable to the TV, and everything was ok, until I closed the macbook (sleep mode), when I opened the mac again,, the sound has gone! No sound from TV or macbook,, the only solution is to "RESTART"

Itunes will not open with Yosemite update!!!

After updating my Macbook pro to Yosemite, I have not been able to open iTunes. I have restarted the macbook and plugged my iPhone in and no matter what iTunes will not open!!!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

Muse recently updated with Yosemite Update web fonts not working

I recently updated my OS to Yosemite at work, but not at home. a site that was using font awesome that was working/previewing/exporting/uploaded and functioning fine is now not showing font awesome icons. I didn't upload to the server because even though it previews in Muse fine, they are not shown on export. Even the template files that are the original HTML files (included with the muse template) are not showing the web fonts. I thought it was the operating system but when drop boxed to my computer at home and checked there (Mountain lion OS) It still doesn't show.
I'm not understanding where the issue is. Any thoughts?
Work version is 2014.2, unclear about home version- could possibly not be that update, I think I installed in November. I didn't have any problems with this file since updating to Yosemite at work. Although never went through a final HTML export so I suppose it could have been doing it for the last few weeks I have been working on this site.
Thanks!

From the screen shot, I expect you're on Windows and have ClearType turned on (on is the default OS setting). The top text is drawn using Adobe's technology. The bottom would be drawn with ClearType. Microsoft's ClearType technology is one of several font anti-aliasing techniques. ClearType's approach is strongly biased toward making vertical stems appear smooth and of consistent width at the expensive of having horizontal portions of text appear less smooth. If you turn off ClearType on your computer the text will be rendered differently.
Each operating system has it's own approach to drawing text, and in fact both Windows and Mac have multiple approaches. Windows adds numerous end user controls on top of that. And each browser has the freedom to implement different rendering as well. There's nothing under the control of a website authoring tool that can cause live text to have an identical rendering when rendered by different browsers or operating systems.
This is one of the limitations of the web medium.
Cross browser compatibility generally refers to the large category of issues where a browser, or browser version, entirely lacks support for various features of HTML/CSS, implements those features differently from other browsers, or has bugs such that various features either don't function correctly or don't function consistently. Muse contains hundreds of pieces of code to compensate for these idiosyncracies between browsers.

Scrollbar has disappeared with Yosemite update

HI
I updated my mac to Yosemite and my itunes to the current update.
Now I have scrollbars in iTunes and iPhoto which is making updating my mobile phone impossible.
I have followed all the advice listed on here and nothing works.
When I resize my screen, the scroll bar becomes visible for a moment or two. But it completely disappears the moment I touch my magic pad.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Mish

Same problem with upgrade to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.6. When I resize my screen, the scroll bar becomes visible for a moment or two. But it completely disappears when I try to grab the scrolling button with my mouse.

Help with Yosemite update

I updated a mid 2011 IMac to Yosemite and now cannot access my photos. It says because I need to update iPhoto, but when I try it says update available for this apple ID. I have tried all of the obvious solutions to no avail. I wouldn't have updated to Yosemite if I had known this. Should I go back to Lion? Other suggestions?

Check the App Store Purchases tab. If iPhoto is there, download it again.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

IPhone timer functionality lost with latest update

The latest iPhone update has seemingly eliminated the ability to set the timer for anything other than full minutes. I utilized the "seconds" feature very frequently, and this change is an annoyance. Sadly, thoughtless changes by Apple seem to be becoming SOP. I don't suppose anyone knows of a "fix" for this, do they? (I'm still very frustrated over the change to FaceTime on my laptop which mutes all other sounds, limiting the program's functionality; this seems to be a developing pattern.)

Why this function disappeared for awhile, I don't know, but the seconds option is now back. I don't get it...

Safari glitched with Yosemite update

Hello,
I recently purchased a macbook air 13 inch about a month ago and I just updated to Yosemite. Whenever I updated it, everything worked fine besides the safari search bar. Whenever I try to type something it either wont type or it wont go through. Pleas help
Thank You

My point, JPolk, was that one should not assume anything when doing problem definition. The
similar issue
observation presumes that one is seeing the universe of Apple users on these forums - a fatally flawed conclusion. To extrapolate from posts here is roughly akin to going to a hospital and assuming everyone is sick in the world.
When and wherever a problem manifests itself is not an absolute pointer to a problem. It is most easy to 'blame' someone or something else, rather than tracking down what
b MAY
be a localized problem.

Problems with Yosemite update and hardrive space! How can I install and use macbook again?

I went to upload Yosemite but didnt have enough space on my hardrive. Now when I turn on my computer it tries to install - gets to about 15 minutes and then stops and says theres a problem extracting files from essential.
There isnt enough room on my hardrive to install Yosemite. I now cannot use my macbook. I cannot access any of my files, documents, apps, itunes ect. I dont know how to free up space on the hardrive when I cannot access anything.
tried to boot in safe mode but it will not let me. Stuck and unable to use computer. HELP!

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

Photos lost after Yosemite update/no backup

I looked in my Masters folder too. Nothing. I have two Mac laptops and had enabled sharing. I'm so sick about this!

Enabled Sharing? In what way? Did you move your iPhoto library to iCloud Drive or to a synced folder? Please explain.
