Sounds silly, but I can't turn on the sound anymore. The slider won't budge and in system preferences it looks that it is muted, and i can't 'unmute' it, despite having administrator privileges. Any ideas? Tat

It sounds stupid, but yesterday I turned off the sound of my iMac, today (after the latest upgrade), I can neither move the slider, nor turn mute off in the system preferences, even so I have administrator privileges. Any ideas?

Sorry it didn't work...
If the update you did yesterday was to 10 6 8 and you did it via Software Update, perhaps the Combo Update would be the way to go...

What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

Just an FYI. The Macs named PowerMac date from early 2006 and before. Use this tip to discover where to post once you get your Mac:

The cheapest Mac available new is a Mac Mini. It is no bigger than many an external hard drive. But the screen and keyboard and mouse must be purchased separately. They support USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and pretty much any DVI, HDMI, or displayport display. Although the iMac is certainly an attractive option if all you want to deal with is deciding on a printer. I still recommend getting an Apple USB keyboard for the occasional times you may need to troubleshoot startup issues. Normally not a problem, but as it gets older some issues can be fixed at startup or diagnosed at startup.

This may sound silly but can anyone tell me if facetime is done through wifii or is it charged as a long distance from canada to us

this may sound silly but can anywone tell be if facetime is wifi or a long distance charge?

FaceTime is NEVER charged. It is basically going through the internet, as if you were watching a YouTube video, it just takes data. You probably have a data limit through your wireless provider, for example, I can only use 3Gb of data per month on my iPhone 5 through AT&T.
If you use Wi-Fi, you will NOT be charged for data (unless your internet provider has a cap on the amount of data you can use).
If you do facetime over cellular data, you just have to watch your data usage. You can watch your data usage in Settings > General > Usage. AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint all offer free apps you can use to monitor your data usage (among many other things, like pay your wireless bill, etc.).

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

This may sound silly but where do i find my attachments after i download them

may sound silly but where do i find my attachments after i download them

What attachments are you talking about? Do you mean the files and or photos you receive in emails?
Mail loads the attachments and they should appear in the body of the email. Some can be viewed by tapping on them. If you have a compatible app you can save them to the appropriate app. An example might be a Word document. If you have an app that edits Word docs like Pages or some other app, tapping on the attachment will bring up a choice to open in Pages.

When you still have the problem after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment a th Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

My iPhone 4s was stolen almost a week ago now. If I can still see the phone listed in Find My iPhone but appears to be turned off does this mean the theif has not restored it to factory settings???

My iPhone 4s was stolen almost a week ago now. If I can still see the phone listed in Find My iPhone but appears to be turned off does this mean the theif has not restored it to factory settings???

Are you sure? I have other devices at home. The only way I can make them disappear on the tracking list is by turning off location or resetting to factory settings.
I just want to make sure I'm not tracking a phantom that I will never recover :-(

Set up exchange email on my imac but that same information will not work to set up exchange on my iphone. Any ideas?

set up exchange email on my imac successfully but that same information will not work to set up exchange on my iphone. Any ideas?

If your Imac is connected to the same Lan as your Exchange Server he might be able to access the DNS record for the autodiscovery services (the url that allow outlook/entourage or modern smartphone to autoconfigure the exchange account).
If this url has not been made public by your IT staff, your iphone cannot resolve it.
Typically, the url for autodiscover is based on your address email domain, i.e. if your email address is [email protected] the url for autodiscover will be https://autodiscover.company.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
A good test is try to open this URL from a web browser (authentification may be requiered) from the imac and iphone then compare result. The expected behavior would be the display of an xml page with very little content (this is normal), if there is an http error or that the page cannot be displayed then autodiscover is not available from the network you are using.
If so you need to request from your IT the name of the ActiveSync Url to use, most company use the same as the webmail url, so if to access your wemail you need to go https://webmail.company.com, the name to use on your iphone would be webmail.company.com
Hope that help

Can not turn off, disable, mute, STOP the Apple boot start up chime on MacBook Pro using Yosemite 10.10.1

I understand why Apple forces the boot chime upon us for marketing and diagnostics, but I really want to disable the start up chime when booting my MacBook Pro laptop.
I have tried the sudo commands that worked in Mavericks.
nvram SystemAudioVolume=%80
and
nvram SystemAudioVolume=%00
They do not work with Yosemite.
I have also tried muting my laptop before shutting down and muting the sound entirely in System Preferences. This method does not work either.
Every time I boot the laptop I have to annoy every one in the library, or the cafe, or the airport, or the workplace.
Anyone have a solution for this?

I did that prior to posting, and the choices are very limited, or unreliable based on comments. There doesn't seem to be an app that can do this for 10.10.1 StartNinja was the only app that seems decent, but doesn't list Yosemite as a supported OSX version. I would like to avoid using an app to accomplish this anyway.
Then you are out of luck. Apple does not provide an on & off option or software regarding the start up chimes.

I broke my ipod 5 generation ipod and had some pretty important notes on there and it will not start again. I also have an ipod 4th generation and I was wondering if you could use icloud or something to restore my notes on to this ipod. Any ideas?

If you had been syncing notes on your iPod with iCloud before this happened, go to icloud.com and confirm that your notes are still there. If they are, you could either email them to yourself one at a time from icloud.com or you could sign into your icloud account on your other iPad in Settings>iCloud and turn Notes to On to sync them to your other iPod.

Can't turn on open directory in the server app

hi, i can't turn on open directory in the server app, I am running the new version of Mavericks (10.9.2)
please help me

If DNS services aren't properly configured and operating correctly, then various other parts of the OS X Server environment tends to be somewhere between flaky and unstable.
To verify DNS is working correctly, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmless diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
You'll need to enter an administrative password for the sudo, might see a one-time message about the use of sudo, then see some configuration information, and then an indication that no changes are required, or that there are issues with the network or with local DNS services. This tool will spot most local DNS and network errors, but will not spot an erronous configuration using the .local top-level domain; don't do that.
If you do not have another DNS server on your local network — the screen shot shows DNS isn't running locally, but it's possible there's another DNS server in use. If you do not have a local DNS server (and you're on a NAT'd network) here's how to set up DNS on a NAT'd network — DNS is essential for proper operations of OS X Server, and on a private NAT'd network, that's only possible with your own DNS services. You cannot successfully reference off-network DNS servers here (not the DNS servers at your ISP, nor at Google, and not via a low-end firewall that might have a DNS resolver, etc), as these off-NAT'd network DNS servers do not return the necessary IP-address-to-domain-name translations necessary for your hosts. These name-to-address and address-to-name DNS translations are part of distributed authentication and network encryption.
