White macbook sound problem

i have my mac hooked to my tv with HDMI i get everything but sound i thought HDMI has sound anyone no what problem may be

That's going to depend on what you have available on the TV.
If you've got the red & white plugs:

Without knowing more about your TV (manufacturer name, model number, etc), I can't be of much help.

  • New White MacBook Battery Problem

    Hi there.
    I recently purchased a brand new white MacBook 2 weeks back and has been perfectly fine up until tonight, with no problems at all, I could take out the power cord and use it around the house fine. However tonight, completely randomly it just shuts down about 2 seconds after i take out the power cord.
    Also in the power settings it no says 1% battery remaining and estimated time to fully charge is 10 hours, now this hasn't changed at all this evening.
    Can you please tell me what is wrong and how to fix it?
    Many thanks
    Toby

    Again suddenly my battery has come back but has gone back to what it was, claiming to have no charge but still doing nothing.
    However i did not check these specs before and it does now say charging so possibly could have fixed?

  • White Macbook display problem

    Hello everybody!
    Having a small issue with my macbook.  Don't really know how to describe it, but it looks like the monitor may be going out.  But I've also been told that the inverter may be going bad.  Can any of the smart people lend their expertise?
    Thanks!

  • MacBook sound problem

    Hi
    I bought a 13" MacBook in August. When I open Logic and set all the sound preferences to my Saffire for Input/Output, I still hear sound coming out on the MacBook's speakers. I tried Record and Reaper and no sound comes out for them. Any suggestions ?

    Hummmm, actually all my settings, be they in the System Preferences or otherwise, are set to the Saffire and I do need the hear only from the Focusrite, otherwise I get feedback when I play guitar. Just like a microphone would.
    What I meant with Record and Reaper is that no sound comes out from the MacBook, but sound DOES come out from the Focusrite, which I want.

  • White Macbook (Mid 2006) Trackpad problem

    I have a white Macbook from Mid 2006 and it has been functioning fine all these years. However just yesterday, it developed a trackpad problem.
    I am still able to move the cursor but nothing happens when I click the trackpad button.
    I then bought an external mouse. However the problem did not go away entirely. The external mouse would work just fine (I would be able to click with it) if I did not touch the trackpad. However on the few occasions where I accidentally touched the trackpad, the external mouse would suddenly suffer the same fate as the trackpad, i.e. I was still able to move the cursor but I could not click with the external mouse.
    I managed to alleviate the problem by checking the "Ignore trackpad when mouse is present" option in my System Preferences, thereby preventing any accidental touches of the trackpad from affecting the external mouse. However I hope to get to the root of this sudden and mysterious problem, rather than sweeping it under a "Ignore trackpad when mouse is present" option.
    I have tried resetting the PRAM and it did not solve the problem.

    Might want to check: Apple->System Preferences->Universal Access , click on the Mouse & Trackpad Tab, then Make sure "Mouse Keys" are off , make sure "press the option key five times .. etc" is unchecked, make "ignore trackpad when mouse keys is on" is unchecked. Check That 1st, because it does sound like a preference problem .. If I think of another one I'll ring in ... Good Luck

  • White Macbook with MAJOR wifi reception problems

    I live in a small flat and used to be able to access Wifi everywhere on my white Macbook (early 2006) model.  This is no longer the case and I can only pick up wifi signal in my living room (i.e. within 7 feet of the router).
    It is not a router issue as my iPad, iPhone and even my girlfriend's first generation Ipod Toch can access wifi anywhere in the flat.  Very annoying!  This computer is used by my girlfriend for university and there are only several areas of her college library where she can access wifi.
    I took the computer to the Apple Store in Covent Garden and it immeditely showed full bars of wifi coverage throughout the store.  The Genius Bar guy ran some tests and said the antenna was fine.  He showed me how to delete and reinstate the network, which I did to no effect.  I've also moved wifi to the top of the list in Network settings.  Still only works within 7 feet of the router.
    Can ANYBODY figue out why my Macbook has suddeny become so bad at picking up wifi?
    The Macbook is running Lion, but the problem started when still running Snow Leopard 9and possibly Leoard too).
    Any help would be very gratefully received.

    You need to go into your router to change the channel it is using. If you check your router manual you will find how to get into its setting. I get into mine by typing 192.168.2.1 into my browser bar. some use routersetup again typed into browser. If you havent got your manaul just go to the company who made it and you can view it there.
    Otherwise let me have your router make and model and I will find out how you do it and post here.
    Could you see what channels your neighbouring networks were using ?
    Also just out of interest I live in the UK and lately my wirelss keeps defaulting to BTopenzone which is clearly on a network nearby, so make sure your system is connecting or trying to connect to your wireless network, not anyone elses.

  • Problem with saving from white Macbook to Iomega external hard drive

    I'm sorry if this question has been asked before but i cannot find any thread, so i apologise in advance!
    I recently have bought a white macbook, but i have a Iomega external hard drive 250GB (which is not full and nowhere near full)I able to move songs and photos over to iTunes and save on my iPhone okay with no problem. The problem arises when i want to do it the other way, I basically want to save documents, songs and pictures on my macbook over to the external hard drive.
    The icon for the external hard drive appears and everything works. I was suggested to use iTunes > preference > advanced and change the location to my hard drive. I have tried this and all it does it make an additional copy on iTunes not on the hard drive.
    I would be grateful if someone could please help me as i do not have a clue!
    Thanks
    Gemma

    My guess is that the external drive is formatted for windows (NTFS) and for the Mac it would be read only. You can't write to the disk unless you use a third party application like [NTFS-3G|http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/24481/ntfs-3g].
    If you're only going to use the drive with your Mac, I suggest reformmating it for Mac (Mac Extended (Journaled)) using Disk Utility. This process will erase the drive so if there's any more stuff that you need, reclaim that first.

  • White/Gray screen problem on my MacBook

    My early 2008 MacBook (white) had the White/Gray screen problem and i don't know how to fix it since it's my first mac. I'm currently running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.5) and this happened when it was low battery a few days before it had the problem and i kept it low on battery of about  2 days and when i plugged it back in and attached a Seagate external hard disk then i powered it on it's just white/gray and I've 5 mins. and still white/gray. Cmd+R don't work and it won't boot from a disk unless the internal hard drive is out. Please help me my warranty is not going to help and there are no Genius bar here, Thanks

    Can' see the picture you post, so not sure how your screen is, though resetting SMC as well as NVRAM(PRAM) could solve the problem.

  • Any problems with White MacBook 2.0 GHZ???

    All I want to know is the 2.0 GHZ white MacBook worth it?? I use Macs at school alot but never wanted to step up and buy one until now. Also how does AOL work on MAC OS X.... I have to use it to keep in touch with friends and family and plus my email address is registered to AOL so I need to run the AOL browser.

    well there second to nun except the fact that they cant fix my 1month old macbook in the store that is now dead. And i have to ship it to them so Im out of a computer for work for the next week or so. Dell came right to my house and fixed my puter. I dont understand why they cant remove my hd and put it in a new unit at the store and send me on my way. then they can fix the ever increasing macbook auto sutdown problem. ahhh. Honestly i would not buy until this problem is resolved, or they pull all theunits from the shelf that have this issue. I though it was minor but after searching the net there are hundreds of people with this issue now.

  • Intermittent sound problems on MacBook Pro.

    I have for the last few months had this intemittent sound problem. The speaker greys out and the sound 'jumps' between speaker and internal sound. The little red light inside the headphone port comes on. This could last for a few minutes and then everything is fine again. It happens when I play DVD's as well. The sound goes and the DVD practically stops playing or the picture is slowed down and jerky. Usually after ejecting the DVD and inserting it again it sorts the problem out. It used to not happen very often but for the last two days it has happened at least 5 times. It happened during a presentation once and I need this to work. Any advice please.  I am worried it could be a hardware issue.

  • Need help with firewire problem with white macbook to new MBP...

    Hello...I purchased a new MBP 13.3 inch with retina display a week ago because my old white macbook from 2008 has a cracked screen, rendering it unusable.  I would very much liek to get some files off of it and onto my new MBP or onto an external drive.  I bought the firewire to thunderbolt apple adapter, but I then saw I need ANOTHER cord or adapter to go from the old macbook to the adapter.  Is this doable?  What is the best one to use?  are they all the same and which one will fit the adapter and the right end fit my old Macbook?  So confusing and it's been hard to try to find an answer online.  I am assuming I can boot the old Macbvook into Target mode and transfer the data.  Thanks for any help.

    This is the other cable and adapter you'll need http://store.apple.com/us/product/H7990ZM/A/moshi-firewire-800-cable-with-firewi re-400-to-800-adapter?fnode=51
    You may be able to fine it cheaper somewhere else though.

  • B&W Macbook startup problem - no solution suggested in forums has worked

    Hi there,
    I encountered a problem using Word on my white Macbook yesterday, so restarted (by selecting the 'restart' option from the apple menu) to try to fix it.
    It would not restart: it showed a white screen with the apple sign for ages, followed by a prohibitory sign, then eventually the apple sign again, followed by a flashing folder with a question mark. I have tried the following options (found by searching the forums), to no avail:
    (NB #1: almost all my data is backed up, therefore I don't need to worry about salvaging lost data.)
    (NB #2: I am not exactly sure what operating system this machine uses, but I think it's 10.5. The model number is A1181, it was bought refurbished from Apple in June 2008, and the info on the barcode label under the battery says 'MB 13/2 16/2X512/120/SD-DL:WHITE'.)
    Resetting the PRAM: the problem persisted.
    Tried to perform an archive and install using the install disk. On the first attempt, after selecting the 'archive and install option' and then selecting the HD as the 'destination', the process performed some sort of disk check. It either completed the disk check, or nearly completed it (I left the room when it was about 80% done), but then showed an error message saying that it had encountered a problem and that I needed to restart (I think! I didn't write down exactly what the message said).
    I restarted and attempted to run the archive and install process again (several times). However, this time, no destination volumes are shown at the 'Select a Destination' step. So, I'm unable either to archive and install or to erase and install.
    Tried to repair HD using the disk utility function but encounter a 'First Aid Failed' error message which says: 'The underlying task reported failure on exit'.
    Tried booting in safe mode several times, with slightly different unsuccessful results:
    1st attempt (with the install disk still in the drive): a grey screen with text appeared along with a message telling me to restart by holding down the power button, which I did. However, the restart just returned me to the install disk process again, and I encountered the same problems with no destination shown at the 'Select a Destination' step and the inability to repair the HD using the disk utility.
    2nd attempt (with the install disk still in the drive): would not start up, apple sign followed by prohibitory sign.
    3rd attempt (having ejected the disk by restarting whilst holding down the mousepad button): apple sign displayed for a long time; eventually the screen went off then came on again (along with the restart sound), but remained white (no apple sign displayed).
    4th attempt (disk still ejected): apple sign displayed for a long time, eventually screen went blank and came on again (along with the restart sound), apple sign displayed, then prohibitory sign, apple sign again, then folder with question mark.
    Tried using fsck but failed. Started up in single-user mode, but got an error message saying: "Error loading kernel 'mach_kernel' (0x80000012)"
    Tried SMC reset but this made no difference.
    I would be hugely grateful for any helpful suggestions!
    Thanks very much.

    Thanks very much both of you!
    If I buy a new HD and then run my install disks, will this return the Macbook to the same state (software-wise) as when I bought it?
    Yes, also... if you take the old drive and put it in an external Firewire or USB enclosure you may be able to save some of your data files.

  • Hard drive dies if you put a MacBook Pro on top of a white MacBook

    Myself and one other have had this same problem. Sleep a white macbook and start using your 2006 MacBook pro on top of it. After a few mins it freezes and only the mouse pointer works with mostly the beach ball. Hard reboot and then you just get clicking noises from the hard drive (stuck on grey screen sometimes with the spinner or question mark or sometimes blank)and it has mechanical failure. Just coincidence or a real problem?
    Post here if you have had this same problem thanks.

    I was originally using it on my knee then when moving it to a table I just happened to place it on top of another MacBook instead of clearing space, I didn't think it would be a problem.
    Nop the hard drive no longer works. It spins up but makes a clicking sound like the heads are damaged. If you tap the case then it sounds like it starts reading and the apple and spinner appear on the grey screen but it eventually just spins down.
    Its possible the magnet in the Macbook case done it, although wouldn't that cause problems with the Macbooks own drive all the time?

  • Using mbox 2 and a white macbook

    anyone have experience using didesign Mbox 2 and a white macbook 2.00 ghz and pro tools Le. The digi website doesn't specify compatibility yet.
    tnhx

    Okay, just set up my Mbox and downloaded PTLE 7.1.1. Mind you I have the original Mbox, but except for the analog or digital input vs. the analog and digital input the interfacing should be similar enough to not make much of a difference.
    Install was fine. First launch was pretty quick. No 3rd party plug-ins installed at the moment.
    Opened a session with 28 audio tracks, numerous Aux's, and a Master track. It has a few plug-ins enabled, but most of the plug-ins originally used where Waves and/or Sony Oxford, so they are disabled at this time, also originally had two Altiverbs, so those are also disabled.
    At first hitting play caused an immediate stop. I opened up the Playback Engine options and changed from Buffer level 8 (which it was already set to for some reason) to the default of 2. Now playback worked fine, but I was stopped a couple of times for CPU holding off USB bandwidth.
    I then upped the Buffer level to 4, and for the most part had no problems. The only time I got stopped with an error message is occasionally when I would either hit stop, or do a RTZ while playing. Both of those are trivial as they stop playback/record anyway.
    Two possible reasons for my problems:
    1. In setting up in a quick and dirty fashion, I was playing the session off the internal driver, rather than from my firewire drive I would normally use for a session.
    2. I have the stock 512MB RAM config right now. This is one reason I didn't go to a lot of trouble with tweaking and using the correct drives. I have 2GB of RAM arriving tomorrow. I'll retest then to see if the errors continue, and maybe do a bit more tweaking.
    Initial prognosis is pretty good. Much better than when I first tried my 001 system on my 8600/300 back in the day... (I was able to get 24 tracks with a good sounding reverb plug with that system, some would call that a miracle, especially as it was never an approved system.)
