I hear the various sounds involved with Messages in Lion 10.7.3, when sending a msg, receiving, contacts becoming available etc. I am not hearing *any* other audio at all: No sound from Chrome with: Facebook videos, Youtube, Soundcloud or Vimeo. No sound from any media in Safari. No sound from any media in iTunes. No sound when playing files with Quicktime. No sound when increasing/decreasing system volume.I can only hear Messages sounds! Everything was working fine last night, the last thing I was able to hear was an .m4a file that I played through Quicktime. This morning - nothing. Where should I start troubleshooting? I've already restarted a couple of times, will do a full shutdown and restart again.
Getting my first mac next week. I have been reading about spaces and it sounds great. One question I have, can it be set up so that you can hear sounds from the other desktops while using another? If i have a chat room set up in another desktop will i be able to hear the ping from someone posting when im editing photos on another desktop?
I can not deselect mute all computer sounds on my Imac with Lion I went into preference and for output the only thing I can select is headphones is there away to get the built in speakers back on this drop down list?
I noticed that my system stopped making system (i.e. Mac OS X) sounds for some reason. Sounds from applications are fine. I checked and unchecked the "play user interface sound effects" check box in the preference panes to no effect.
I punch my iTunes music through an Airport Express to a remote set of speakers in the kitchen, which works wonderfully, but I'd like to know if there's a way to run the system sounds through the AE as well. In particular, I listen to Pandora (through a browser) on my laptop, but would love to listen in the kitchen. Any way to do this? System 10.4 I believe...
I've been using my MacBook Pro for about five months with no problems. It's equiped with VMWare Fusion, and I do most of my work there in windows. Saturday, morning, all of a sudden, I started getting the "application quit unexpectedly message" with nearly every application I tried to open in both platforms (Safari and the entry to VMWare). I haven't added any software/hardware lately, and the computer worked well Friday evening.
Any clues as to how I might resolve the situation from here would be greatly appreciated.
I made a new account because it wouldn't let me log in on my old account and now it seems as if it's working but it won't send or receive ANY messages. This application used to work so I don't understand.
How does one permanently delete imessages from the MessagesBeta Ap for a Macbook? I found the files to delete in the folder in "Documents," "iChat", but every time I start a new message, it brings up all previous conversation regardless
I have a new MacBook Air and an IPhone. When I send text messages on my iPhone they seem to show up in Messages on my macbook. I don't want my texts to be connected to my Macbook . What steps do I need to take to make sure my text messages only stay on my iPhone.
I have two apple ID's, so i can't get messages directly to my computer because the messages are under a different apple ID. How do i delete one of my ID's?
I was using the line-in port of my computer for recording audio, at the same time i was hearing what i was recording through my headphones, when suddenly i wasn't able to hear anything from both headphones and my internal speakers.
i can hear music thru my macboook bro but everytime i plugged in a head phone or other external devices i cant hear anything i have tried few more headphones so still not working its definitely not the headphones?
First, When I connect the headphone some times I can not hear anything ,However , If I hear the sound I can not understand .It spoils everything.
Second,the brightness of my screen could not be fixed sometimes are too light and sometimes are too dark with out I change it just automatically change.
When i plg my headphones into my mackbook pro the sound is almost impossible to hear through them. The sound is normally really loud! i have tried with several pairs of headphones and the volume remains the same!
Info: MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)
i just got my macbook a couple of days ago and i was so excited about using ichat with my sister....but the problem is that i can barely hear her when we use ichat....i also use skype to talk to her and she was supersonic loud compared to the whisper she was in ichat. i was just wondering if i could modify how loud the sound comes in other than turning her up which doesnt help at all in ichat?
I used to have 160GB 5400 HDD until today's morning. Now there's WD Scorpio BLue 500GB installed in my MBP. And I can hear some silent noise, coming from that HDD. I mean my previous, low-capacity 160GB Hitachi was just silent (no noise at all!!) Is there anything, that can be done about it? I mean if I had known, I should've gone for 7200.4 500GB Momentus! I still hope there are some tweaks, that can silent my HDD, Are there?
I cant hear or see the other people when video chatting with skype, facebook video, messenger etc. it was working fine until it just stopped. I just moved house but have the same provider and still on the same account.
I downloaded the application Hear a couple days ago [URL:...] and I've been messing with the settings ever since, since all of the built in presets make everything sound worse. Does anyone know a good way to configure it to get the most out of an older MacBook's speakers? I have what i think sounds pretty good, but it could be better I think.
I'm doing my best not to panic here but I'm sure you can feel my pain. I got up this morning, made my coffee and opened up my MBP to start my day.
I can hear that start up sound but the screen is completely black. Nothing. It was fine yesterday and I didn't do anything different when I closed it to put it in sleep mode. But now it won't wake up. I pulled the battery, let it cool (seemed a little warm since I just started it)....still black screen.
I have a macbook pro retina display mid 2012 model. When i boot up i hear a chime but screen is black. I wait a few min to allow it to finish booting up with a black screen. I close the mac book for a few minutes to let it fall asleep. When i open it , screen works and im on login screen.
I received my 15" MacBook Pro 3 days ago and tonight I happened to notice a slight click noise when i open or close the lid. It sounds like it is coming from the hinge area.
I have a 13" Late 2008 Al. Macbook, and something strange just happened. I was typing in Pages, when I started to hear and feel something clicking underneath my right palm. I recognized this as the hard drive, so I immediately shut down the computer. Tried restarting and heard the clicking again, so I held down the power button and force shut it down before it fully started up. Turned it around, removed the battery for a couple of seconds, then replaced it. Started up again, and the clicking disappeared; all my files are here as they were left.
I am running the latest skype on my macbook pro, everything is working except I can't hear the person talking, they can hear me fine, any ideas? I have been through the sound preferences on skype and the sound in system preferences trying things with no luck.
