Why can't I get sound on my iMac from Youtube?

I am unable to listen to Youtube videos or Internet messages containing sound.  Sound is fine on iTunes.  I tried repairing permissions and restarting, but the problem remains.  I have the latest software (OS 10.8.3).  Help!

Did you check the sound volumn icon on the YouTube video?  Contacted YouTube's tech support and/or forums to see if other Mac users are having the same problem?
Which browser are you using & version?  Have you tried using another browser to rule out the browser? 
Sorry, I do not know what internet messages you are talking about.  I don't get any from mine.  At least I don't think I do. 
Please correct your system profile.  Same confirms you are still using Snow Leopard and not ML.

    if you have sound icon on your menu bar: press alt on your keyboard and click mouse on sound icon - check is the correct audio output is selected.
    If you do not have this icon: System preferences > Sound > Output and check audio output

    To each his own. I own Outlook, but I avoid using it like the plague. The only Mac mail software I have liked better than Apple's Mail was Qualcomm's Eudora, which is no longer updated or even available, won't run without Rosetta, and unfortunately never quite got the hang of IMAP.
    Check out this post regarding this user's continuing use of Eudora on his Lion MacBook:
    Shield Eudora from Lion's Claws
    A thousand thanks and kudos to Michael for this fabulously excellent thread!
    Eudora's now happy in her new Snow Leopard VM home on my Lion ModBook!
    Appears essential to keep resource-forked data off Lion disk:
    First attempt with Eudora on SL VM was sharing data on Lion disk. Error messages on open like "can't find Table of Contents" suggest Lion ate resource forks crucial to Eudora.
    Found success by transferring data from SL Mac to thumb drive, then mounted drive in SL VM so Lion couldn't touch.
    While Michael warns against storing data in VM, appears there's no choice with Eudora. At least She's enthroned on a mirrored RAID.
    There is Nothing like Eudora! (to tune of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from South Pacific -- Oops! my gray hair is showing!)
    (It's amazing Parallels can force Lion to store taboo resource forks. Thank God for code warriors!)

  • Why can't I get sound notification for my email anymore?

    I am no longer able to get sound notification for send or receive email nor can I get sound notification for incoming phone calls.  What happened and is there a correction?

    Before doing anything else, is your ringer switch in silent mode?  I'd try toggling the switch a few times to make sure it's working.  The phone should vibrate when you move the switch from on to silent.  If it doesn't then the switch may be broken.
    Next make sure the volume for notifications is not off.  Check the Sound settings for this.  Changing the volume there should also cause your (phone) ringtone to play.  If it doesn't then there is something very wrong.
    The only other thing I can suggest if the above doesn't help is doing a hard reset of the phone.  Hold power and home buttons down until screen goes dark and Apple icon appears, then let go.
    If that doesn't work, then the only other thing you can try is doing a Backup and then a Restore in iTunes.  If that doesn't work, then there's a hardware problem.

  • Why can't I get sounds on my apps?

    I can't get any sounds on my apps I CAN get sounds on my music only time I get sounds on my apps is with headphones

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute/unmute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off').
    The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • Why can't I get sound thru internet?

    I get sound in iTunes but not viewing a video on the internet.  I have MacBook Pro.

    that doesn't mean that they have been converted correctly though.
    for an appletv file, you should have 2 audio tracks (track 2 should be AC3 pass-thru with the 5.1 audio track).
    if you are sure they have been converted correctly, then make sure you have "digital audio" enabled on the appletv (either "auto" or "on).

  • With the iPad, why can't I get sound from a website?

    On my iPad, I am not able to hear sound from a website that I can hear on my desktop.  I've reviewed the settings, but I still am not getting it.  What might I be missing?

    It would help if you told us what site you're referring to.

  • Why Can I Only Get Sound On Video's

    I have a 30gig iPod and have a few vid's I would like to watch on it while travelling. I converted a number of .avi formatted vid's to the .mp4 that ipod requires using winAVI but on trying to watch the then converted files on my PC or the iPod I only get the sound and no video(black screen). Any help would be appreciated.
    n/a   Windows XP Pro  

    There is a setting on the iPod under Videos -> Video Settings where you set the TV Out to ON/OFF/Ask. To watch on the iPod itself you should have it set for OFF or Ask. However, normally when it is set to ON, you still get a still screen on the iPod showing an icon of what is playing and text stating the name of the video. You don't normally get a black screen, which makes me think it might be something else.
    But check the setting for TV Out all the same just to be sure. If it is ok, you might consider doing a reset and maybe even a restore to see if that works to fix the issue.

  • Why can't I get a replacement keyboard key from Apple?

    Rant version
    I was delivered a new 15 inch Macbook Pro with Retina screen with a broken 'V' key (literally, just the black plastic panel has a small broken clasp). I was unable to get a genius bar appointment anywhere within London Zone 1-2, Regent St, Stratford and Covent Garden all just tell me there are no appointments available. I called the Apple store in Stratford City to see if they could order a new 'V' key to the store so I could pick it up and click it on. They suggested I call Apple customer services as they wouldn't be able to help me unless I booked a Genius bar appointment, and obviously they had none. I was informed that I would have to send the entire machine away for at least 5 working days and then wait for a replacement to be shipped out. This is a total P.I.T.A as I have already started important projects on this machine.
    I managed to book a Genuis Bar appointment in Bromley (30 minutes drive from my house) and called to see if it would be possible for them to order the part in and fit it on the day, during my appointment. They said I would have to come in, just to show them the machine, and then they could order the part using my serial number. I asked why I couldn't just give them my serial number and come in when the part was delivered. They said that the telephone operator at the store could not make any sort of contact with the genius bar, regardless of the fact they are in the same building.
    I'd like to point out that everyone I have spoken to have been extremely nice, and understood my frustration, they just haven't been able to do anything that goes outside of their very limited protocol.I find it unacceptable that a company as powerful as Apple, are unable to post a keyboard key to a customer.
    As a computer enthusiast, this is the easiest and most simple problem I have ever had with a machine. It has also been the most common-sense defying process I have ever had the misfortune of being a part of. If it were up to me I would just pay the £3 for a replacement online, but Apple have changed the positions of the clasps from the unibody model by about a few microns, and I don't feel like waiting until someone decides to scrap a new RMBP.
    I don't mind if Apple don't want me to do the repair myself, that I may need to go through the enigmatic ritual of the genius bar to get this done (heaven forbid anyone but a Genius click the 'V' key on). I don't even mind if it takes a couple of weeks for the part to get there, I just want a replacement key, stuck on this laptop, without wiping the entire machine or sending it away for a week.
    Short version:
    If anyone knows where I can get a replacement 'v' key for the new 15inch Retina Macbook Pro then I'll love you forever.

    Yes it is sad but true I think. I EZprint to do my pano's and they turn out excellent. Give them a try.
