Why is the sound fluctuating on my new imac in iTunes?

I am just bringing the content of this forum over to apple's as it seems there are a few people having issues with 'fluctuating sound levels' on iMac and other apple products.http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=19101290#post19101290

If that does not work try the following
Shut down the computer
Unplug everything even power and ethernet then start up. Then replace everything.
If this has no effect
go to system preferences … user … groups …(unlock) set up a new user …log out of current user and in to new user …
If still happening try listening to iTunes with all other apps switched off i.e. mail in order to see if another app is effecting the sound somehow.
Try loading media file directly onto computer and playing it from there rather than an external drive (if applicable) to check if the drive connection is not causing issues.

  • Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates?

    Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates? All of a sudden without changing any settings, the audio on my NEW ipad cuts in and out on applications/ games, keypad noise and lock sounds. The rocker button only seems to work while the sound is intermittently being heard before, after a few seconds of noise not doing anything when sound goes off.
    This is highly frustrating as I've noticed others posting about such issues as far back as April. Anybody had the same thing happen to them? Is this likely software (ios6) or hardware issue? What are the solutions Apple???

    Apple has no physical stores of their own in Dubai, so unless you mean that you purchased from the online Apple Store for the UAE, you purchased from a dealer, who may or may not have been authorized. You can check the expiration date of the warranty on your iPad yourself by entering in the serial number here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    If it does indeed show the warranty has expired, then what you need to do from here will depend on who you purchased the iPad from and when you really did purchase it. Perhaps you actually purchased it in August and are just misremembering? Check your receipt. If you confirm that you did purchase within the last calendar year, tell us exactly where you got it and we can probably offer advice.
    Regards.

  • Why is the sound browser so slow during playback?

    Why is the sound browser so slow during playback? This problem seems to have no solution. This problem even occurs on my Mac Pro With 8 Cores... This problem is in its 3rd Generation since version 8... Even AU Plugins with built-in sound browsers trigger sounds in real time. Whats up Apple? I would love to find a solution after 5 yrs of using this program... U-Jean

    This Problem has been occurring before 2011 according to the link below....... *** Apple!!!

  • CMP Beans from Tables: Why does the Container try to create new tables?

    I'm trying to develop an EJB application using JDeveloper on 9iAS. I have several CMPs and have my tables that I want my CMPs to be based on already defined in my DB schema. I want to use CMP but I don't want the Container to create the tables, rather I want the Container to map my CMP EJBs to the already existing tables.
    The issue is:
    While creating these CMP EJBs in JDeveloper I chose the "New Enterprise Java Bean" EJB creation wizard using the option labeled "Container-managed Entity Beans from Tables". My assumption is that this does what I want, because the wizard prompts for a schema and table you want to map to. Then it creates the attributes & getter/setter methods, PK class, etc. all based on the table defintion automatically. Great. So why when I try to run my application do I get error messages for each EJB such as:
    Auto-creating table: create table STREET_TYPE (PK_STYP_ID NUMBER(8), STREET_TYPE VARCHAR2(20), primary key (PK_STYP_ID, STREET_TYPE))
    Warning: Error creating table: ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
    Huh?? I thought the idea is that the CMP EJB is mapped to the existing table in my schema. Why is the Container trying to create new tables?? Is this possible? Or am I missing something fundamental about how Containers create and manage CMPs? Or is this just a JDevelop container issue? TIA

    I presume you are getting the problem on application
    deploy? This happens when upon initialization of the application using the built-in OC4J container/app server that is part of JDeveloper. Here is the full messaging:
    [Starting OC4J using the following ports: HTTP=8989, RMI=23892, JMS=9228.]

    done.

    If so, in the application.xml file of you
    OC4J instance the is a setting autocreate-tables,
    which by default is true!
    Set it to false as below and that should clear up
    your problem.
    <orion-application autocreate-tables="false"
    default-data-Hmm. I found at least a dozen or so files with that name and set everyone that had this attriute to "false", restarted the OC4J server and still got these errors.

  • Does anyone know why or what is the reason when starting a new iMac with Lion a gray bar sometimes appears when loading software?

    Does anyone know why or what is the reason when starting a new iMac with Lion, sometimes a gray bar appears under the Apple that begins to shade to dark as it loads OS?  It does this on occasion.  One time the system loaded was VERY slow and terrible colors.  Pulled the plug, re-started the computer and it did not do this.  As I say, its only on occasion, not every time.  I noticed in the discussion page there were problems listed for 10.6 nothing for Lion.
    Please advise, if possible.

    You should see this 4 option menu.  Click on Disk Utility:
    In Disk Utility, Select FIRST AID and then VERIFY and then REPAIR the disk.

    why doesnt the sound play off my speakers when i mirror my laptop to my apple tv?

    Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided.  And none were given here.  It is likely an issue with the device settings, and or a conflict with the type of audio encoding used in the video and the device(s) [tv, stero, amp, etc.] actually playing the audio.

    Why is the volume so low on my iMac when I'm using Safari?
    On both my 2008 MBP and my new 2014 iMac 27" when I listen to the audio portion of a streaming video or news story using Safari, I can hardly hear anything. I have to crank the volume all the way up just to barely hear what is being said. Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help

    I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format."  Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist".  Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!
