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

Hi a brody,
It's pretty well documented. Here's a Wikipedia article on the topic. Tons of other links to follow.
The drives themselves weren't damaged (by trying to do something like write to the drive's firmware), but the rootkit was installed on any computer you put a loaded disk in.
I had a couple of legally purchased CDs from that era, and they never played right. They would skip, stall and even spontaneously eject. And this was in various music CD players (home player, car), which the rootkit wasn't supposed to affect.

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?

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).

Why can't I get my 122min movie on a DVD-DL

Hi everyone. I am new to FCPX, but I was a quite confortable user to iMovie.
As I have to get a 122min movie on a DVD, I am obviously using dual layers.
First, I tried to do it with FCPX itself, using the Share > DVD... menu.
Setting it to Double layers, I was happy to use this function compressing my movie to 7 Go - everything works fine and the time left was in good relation with the job done. Until..
When it gets to 47% the estimated time left grows up to 38 hours or so, and it just either takes 12 hours to get to 52% or the "time left" itself gets even longer !
So I decided to get Compressor and try to work with the right thing... but it just seems to do exactly the same thing.
Is there any way I could be told what's wrong in my process? I've learned and read on so many forums Compressor was the right way to do this.
What are the setup I gotta use?
My movie is a 1080p - HD - 1920x1080 - 23,98p
I am working on a iMac, quadcore, 10.6.8
Thank you for your time

Actually, the only difference between Compressor and FCPX DVD disk authoring capabilities is that Compressor offers you the ability to set chapter markers.
The typical advice one reads on these and other Compresssion-related forums is to take a short section of the source file and test it to determine quality and to verify workflow. Unfortunately, with DL DVD, things are trickier and that approach isn't really possible…we don't know whether we have a successful project until we actually burn it and it plays on DVD players.
A couple of things:
What codec is your movie sequence in? If it's H.264, consider transcoding to Pro Res. FCPX and Compressor both will probably be happier if not given a delivery codec l to down-scale from 1080 to 480, encode to DVD standards and also try to determine a break poiny in one fell swoop.
Also, consider down-scaling the movie to SD 16:9 as one stand-alone job. Then take the SD QuickTime output file and use the DVD share preset as a second stand-alone job. If you do that, use Frame Controls for the down-rez job and set the Resize filter to Better or Best.
Another point: be aware that regardless of whether you use the Compressor or FCPX Share>DVD function, you'll get only a single disk. It's not like DVDSP or iDVD where you can sequentially churn out multiple copies. (You can, of course, make copies of your disk when you have burned one successfully.)
Finally, since you have iMovie>DVD experience, I'm assuming you have iDVD installed. Were it my project, and if I didn't have DVD Studio Pro as an authoring option, I would definitely consider going the iDVD route.
Good luck.

Clicking sound when I insert CD/DVD

I just want to ask if that clicking sound is normal. Because it sound really, really bad.

Hi Keith, it really hard for me to tell, because I cannot hear it myself.
But my macbook and all other 2 in my office all produce clicking sound when those macbook start up, or pull the disk into the optical drive, and I consider that normal.
Visit apple store and compare your "clicking" sound with their display unit, and if they produce similar sound, then consider that normal.
Good Luck.

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.

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't I get 1080 when I finalize my project?

I have a short project and when I hit finalize, it only gives me a medium and a large project.
And when I hit share I don't even get an option for 720 or 1080, the boxes are grayed out. I can only choose large, medium, or mobil.
thank you,
Paul Neathery

OK You are not getting the option to Finalize in 1080 or 720 because your event clips are standard definiiton. You need to shoot with an HD camera to make HD movies. 640x480 is the size used for standard definition cameras and DVDs.
If you have any 1920x1080 clips, you could add them to the project first. Then put in your standard def clips. iMovie will let you share it or finalize in 1920x1080, but the standard def portion will not look as good as the 1920x1080 portion. Here is a sample of what you can expect.

Why can't I get email when traveling?

I can't figure this one out. Everything works fine at home, but like today I am out of town and trying to connect without success. The first place I tried (where my wife is working) allowed me to put in the password and connect but I get the message there is no IP address and after a bit a self-assigned one is given and I am not connected. We tried restarting the router, but no success. Strangely enough, my wife who has a Macbook Pro also (13 inch, newer) was able to connect without a problem.
So, OK, I give up, went to a local library. I put in all the codes, connect OK and able to use Safari but cannot get Mail. If I try to, it starts but then nothing comes in after a while and gives me the symbol of the triangle with the exclamation point in it. I tried restarting but no difference.
So, how can it be that Safari works and Mail does not? In the first instance (wife's work) I could not get on at all. In the library, can use Safari. Strange, isn't it?

Well you could if your email provider allows other ports to be used. But then depending on where you are and how you are connectiong to the net they may also block those ports or ALL port except 80/8080.
Not sure if you are in the USA but I know for a fact most Mcdonalds have WiFi and don't really block anything.

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.
