Why is there no sound recording when I capture Video in iMovie?

Sometimes there is sound recording, sometimes there isn't. And I can no longer find the "choose microphone" field that lets me change from the internal mic to an external Yeti. What's going on??
There are no waveforms in the audio field under the video. I've checked all the mute buttons and the connector cables. I've tried both the Yeti and the internal mic. I'm wondering if something in my iMovie got changed when the last update came in. Also, I've been Skyping lately. Did that affect anything? Help!!

No sound recorded when taking a video using iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1.1

Symptom: Randomly, no sound recorded when taking a video. (mics are dirt free and not blocked)
What fixed it: Restarting the phone after noticing Pandora couldn't play sound either.
Note: The video recorded before the restart still has no sound, meaning the glitch prevents sound from being recorded as well as being played from apps.
Question: Why hasn't Apple come up with an update to fix the software glitch causing this? Its obvious based on discussions as far back as 2010 that this has been an issue!
Hope this helps some people who are experiencing this issue.

Same problem. Now I have use Itunes alternative. Problem never with either IOS or Itunes

Why do the Iphone sounds mute when voice recording?

Why do the Iphone sounds mute when voice recording?

Thanks for the response! I use Display Record with various sound/video themes and would like to include them in my presentations. For what it's worth, I will make a suggestion to Apple, to make the muting of sounds, during recording a user preference/setting.

Why is there no sound coming from my mac air book ?

why is there no sound coming from my mac aribook?

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

HT201210 why is there an error occurring when trying to do a software update ios6 on iphone 4s

why is there an error occurring when trying to do a software update ios6 on iphone 4s??

You might find this article helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
It has the error range of 3000's which states
Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in Home Directory? My Mail alerts, etc

Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in my Home Directory? Since upgrading to Mountain Lion most of my sounds are not working, in my Mail alerts, etc.

Did you put any sound files there? Because if you didn't, that will explain why it's empty.
The ~/Library/Sounds folder is where any sound files that you add go, and they are only available to you as the "logged in" user (if you have other users with their own accounts, they each have their own ~/Library/Sounds folder). Apple doesn't put anything there.
The sounds that come with Mac OS X will either be in the /Library/Sounds folder (which is the shared location for all users) or the /System/Library/Sounds folder (don't mess around with anything in the /System folder!).
But I doubt your problem has anything to do with the sound files. Try deleting your sound preferences file, or even just clicking around in the Sound system preferences until they start working again (seriously - I had one Mac that had some audio problems after upgrading, and just turning things off and on a few times eventually worked. It seemed somehow tied to Dictation, so try twiddling those settings too).

Why is there no sound coming from my Ipod speaker?

Why is there no sound coming from my ipod speaker?

Do headphones work?
Do you have volume set to max?
You can try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem then it is likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Geniu Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why is there a hazard sign on all my movies on iMovie?

why is there a hazard sign on all my movies on iMovie?
i try to watch my videos but none of them will work for me and I want to no how to fix it.

Do any of those possbilities seem likelly?
If the clips were renamed, you should change the name back to what they were before. If the Event clips were moved out of the Movies/iMovie Events folder, move them back.
If the external drive was not attached, attach it and restart iMovie.

Sound interruption when watching streaming video

I have an Apple TV and use it to watch Netflix and Youtube. After upgrading to ios 8, I experienced frequent sound interruptions when watching streaming video
Has anyone else experienced this problem? I have a third generation Apple TV.

I was able to fix the sound issue by changing the resolution to "720P -HD" instead of "Auto". Not ideal but it works.

It has been a several days since we visited this thread. Got detoured and then lost track of the thread in the fast moving thread traffic here.
From all that has been written in this thread and in spite the different numbers of computers involved, I am wondering if computer optimization may be the order of the day rather than focusing on making the DV data capture firewire work in Premiere Elements 12 on one of your computers, specifically Windows 7 64 bit.
Have you focused on one of your computers and optimized - maybe a free ccleaner run through, clearing away pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, conformed video files? Checking out where the Scratch Disks are directed and how much free space was there. (The save location for Captured Video and Captured Audio is included in the Scratch Disks listings (See Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks.)
Not sure if I asked already, so I will ask anyway...can you do your DV data capture firewire in Movie Maker 2012 (same firewire cable)?
Did you ever get your Mom's computer to recognize your miniDV camcorder?
You have been working with Premiere Elements 12. Have you been working with the 12.1 Update (See opened project's Help Menu/Update.)
Moving to Premiere Elements 13 is not going to help on this one since DV and HDV data capture firewire have been removed from Premiere Elements 13. A workaround is offered, but....
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/removed-features-formats-elements.html
For troubleshooting purposes only, you could download and install the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 11 from the following web site and determine how your DV data capture firewire works in that
Photoshop Elements 11 Direct Download Links: Free Trials, Premiere | ProDesignTools
You cannot buy that download, but you can try it.
Just some thoughts if the issues are not yet resolved.

Why is there no sound in my iMovie project

I have imported my video from my mini dv recorder after a long process of getting the proper cables, now that I have upload the video to iMovie there is sound in the preview of the raw footage but when I create a movie with clips from this footage there is no sound in the playback. What am I doing wrong?

Double-click on one of the clips. This will open the Inspector. Click on the Audio tab. Now check that the Volume slider is not set to the minimum position. If it is, drag the slider to the 100% position, or to your desired volume. Do the same for all other clips. If preferred, you can select all clips at once by choosing "Edit > Select All" from the menu. Now double-click on one of the highlighted clips and you can adjust the volume for all clips at once in the Inspector.
You can also adjust volume levels by dragging the volume line up or down in the blue audio bar below the clip thumbnails (where the waveforms are). To do this, you must have the audio waveforms button activated. It's at the bottom right of the project window, to the left of the thumbnails slider. It's coloured grey when inactive and blue when active.

Why am I getting sound distortion when connecting iPad 2 to amplifier.

I am getting sound distortion when connecting iPad or iPod thru amplifier using AirPlay or 3.5mm to rca cables. Also the sound has far too much bass. No problems when connected in car.

It sounds like a mismatched impedence. What are you connecting to? the output from the jack is intended for headphones, and is not just an audio out.
Try turning the volume on the pad way down, and use the gain on your amp, and see if that minimizes the issue.
There is a pure audio signal for both channels on the 31 pin plug, but you would need a special cable to use it. I would bet they are available if you google. Although I have read that the 31 pin signal is not filtered like the headphone output, so while it is a pure audio output, there may be some noise in it that would need to be filtered.
Try google for a 31 pin cable. ( the input for the car is probably built to take a signal from a headphone output, while your amp may be expecting a lower power signal)

Why is there no cancel button when you are importing?

Seriously...
Why is there no way of canceling when you start importing something from say, your movies folder into iMovie? I just don't understand. How hard is it to add a **** cancel button? Sometimes you import a file and iMovie decides it needs to optimize it before it imports, it can take hours depending on the file, and they don't even give you a cancel button? What the ****. I'm aware you can force quit the app, but how stupid is it, that you need to force quit out of the app just because the developers could not be bothered to add a cancel button in the most obvious place you would want one.
So yeah, am I missing something here, or is iMovie really that stupid?

Since this is a user to user forum, it might be best if you address your question directly to Apple.
You can do that here:
