Speakers on my macbook pro are too low, speakers on my macbook pro are too low

Listening to music, watching DVD's or movies on ITunes, the volumne is too low. Can I make it louder? It is already set as high as it could go.

Yes, I could use more volume myself sometimes. The speakers are not big enough on MacBooks for larger volumes... more might blow the speakers and there would be no chance of any quality sound. Make sure the volume is up on the apps. and websites you use. Earphones are perfect for me and sound way better then the baby speakers. Or try Grant's suggestion.

I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%) If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see? There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light. MacBook Pro with Retina display, 15", OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Photoshop CC 2014

I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt.

Check your settings in System Preferences>Sound. If that does not help, perform a PRAM reset.

If that does not solve the issue, then a trip to an Apple store is in order.

I've recently spilt a little bit of water on my Macbook Pro 13" and some of it went into the keyboard, the first thing I did was get paper towels and dry it off, everything is except now the speakers sound different, and a little bit lower in volume

I've recently spilt a little bit of water on my Macbook Pro 13" and some of it went into the keyboard, the first thing I did was get paper towels and dry it off, everything is except now the speakers sound different, and a little bit lower in volume, basically the speakers just sound weird, there's no word to describe it, I can't really hear any bass from my speakers

Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level.

When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level. I do not have this problem when listening to TV or watching movies streamed from DishNetwork. I contacted Netflix and they had me install a newer version of their software Silverlight... this did nothing to resolve the issue. They were not familiar with the issue.

Well if your on 10.6.2, you need to software update to 10.6.8
Perhaps you need to adjust the Silverlight (Microsoft DRM video plug-in) sound level itself too
Run a check here to see if your current on your Silverlight (works for all browsers)

Use another browser like Firefox and see if it continues.
Try another video file. They all have their own sound levels too.

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.
Cheers,

There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

Videos are too dark to watch on Macbook pro?

Ever since I got my Macbook pro a year ago, videos are too dark to watch at any setting.

Hi Paul,
Sorry for the late answer. I live in Europe, so that's why I was asleep ;-)
Basically the command tells your computer to unhide everything on your Desktop, so if you don't have a Desktop, something is definitely wrong.
My guess is that there's something wrong with your account on that computer. You can check that by creating a new account in System Preferences (click on Accounts, click the lock in the bottom-left corner and then click the "+" button just above).
Then try mounting "some" media and see if it appears on the new user's Desktop. If not, I would highly recommend to reinstall Mac OS X.
HTH,
Jasper.

My MacBook Pro internal speakers sound like they are playing through the headphone jack, why is this? How can I fix it?

Periodically, the sound from my MacBook Pro speakers cuts out to where it sounds as if I am just blasting music through a pair of headphones. The start up sounds and even some normal sounds coming from my computer are at the regular balanced speaker level. I sometimes use external speakers and have not had this problem with them. This has been happening more and more lately, and for longer periods of time. I'm running 10.7.5

What are the best, affordable Macbook Pro speakers?

I'm thinking $50/60 and lower range
preferably 3.5mm input instead of USB 3 connection or bluetooth connection, but USB 3 is fine too.
speakers that give good sound like logitech, jbl, etc. <-- not neccessarily the kinds I'm looking for, any good ones will do- from any brand or stores

Best sounding speakers is a very subjective term, what sounds good to one may sound horrible to someone else.
I would take my MBP to the store and "audition" some and see what sounds best to YOU. (There are many out there so listen to a few, make some notes for comparison (bass, treble, loudness, clarity, ease of use, size, etc...)
I would think any salesperson that wishes to make a sale would be happy to allow you to do this.
Hey, it's your ears/brain processing the sound, buy what sounds good that fits your price range.
Forget what the spec sheets say, as they are written by marketing departments, use your ears

MacBook Pro speakers suddenly low quality?

Hi,
I own a Late-2011 MacBook Pro and I just recently updated the software to Yosemite. Today, I was watching Netflix when suddenly the sound dropped precipitously in quality making the audio sound metallic, muffled, and a bit quiet. I have tried listening to iTunes and other forms of audio, but the sound stays the same. I've done reset the SMC, PRAM, entered "sudo killall coreaudiod" into Terminal, checked Audio MIDI, and restarted my computer at least 5 times by now. Nothing seems to work and I don't believe the speakers are blown because it randomly turns clear before going back to the way it was before and I have never had this issue during the 3 years I've owned this computer. What do I do to fix this issue?

I also have this problem.
Anybody as an answer to this problem????
It is annoying... an instability of all the sound system.
Already tried resetting the SMC, and the PRAM, and nothing works.

Retina Macbook Pro wifi too slow at home, other devices are fine though

I bought Retina macbook Pro 15inch couple months ago.
The internet speed seems ok at school, but when at home it is too slow that I can't do anything at all.
But my other devices like iphone/ ipad works great and has fast internet.
So I upgraded internet service, from 15mb speed to 30,
but it still is slow.
I turned off the bluetooth, and seemed like it help tiny bit with the speed but I can't have anything done with this speed.
Do I need to buy a new modem / router?
Thank you for the hlep in advance.

Hold down the Option key and click on the WiFi Icon on the menuBar.
This will reveal all sorts of information about your Network and what is around you.
Look for what channel your Router is on. See if any other Routers are trying to use the same channel.
Look for the transmit level, something like -75.
Look for the transmit rate.

Macbook Pro 17" - My built in speakers are not working.

Macbook Pro 17"
My built in speakers are not working.
The speaker logo is not highlighted (grey not Black) and when in sound options "output" pane only displays the digital out for 'optical' - ie, the internal speakers dont register (headphone socket works)
Any ideas?

1. If red light is visible in the headphone port, plug the headphone into and out of the port 5 or 6 times
     to flip the microswitch inside the port. Hopefully that will make the mode revert back to analog from digital.
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
3. Reset SMC.   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
     Choose the appropriate method.
Hope any one of these steps helps.
