I am amused to see my computer wants an update for Itunes this morning.

Hey Reg,
Cloe would feel proud to have your little puppy named after her ;-)
And Cloe is so much smarter than I, Cloe knows when to quit, when
to say NO and go for a walk or get some sleep, or some food.
It is now 1hr 16 mins past her dinner time, and boy is she giving
me 'The Look' … so I'm out of here, I can only survive 'The Look'
for so long, then it's action!
Cheers,
Ronni

would think we were copying her puppy's name, but we could name
her Ronni cos she's so smart. (Yes Ronni, we're getting a Beanie
Replacement friend for Poor Frizz - a tiny little jack russell
girl who needs a name - aha, we could call her iPad!) - just to
keep this thread nearly on-topic.

Hi Ronni!!
That did it, Thankyou so much, who knew there was such an
important little button hiding within my computer!
Sorry for not saying what it was either, I sort of assumed
everyone just needed to know the OX and such.
Its an Emac ... and still going strong even though it went dim on
e a few months ago .... tough little machine it is!
And if anyone needs to know the button is near the memory ... but
make sure you turn your power off and pull the plug at the wall
before you press it, and of course its always best to double
check all information from the Mac site (thought I better put
that in in case someone tried it and fried their computer .....)
Thankyou so much for your help, I hope you all have a safe Long
weekend,
Sam

Otherwise it may be a hardware problem with your Optical Drive.

Hello Ronni and Neil,
I tried Quicktime, it wouldn't give me any sound either, I then
deleted the preferences anyway because I thought it was worth a
try, that hasn't seemed to help. They are commercial CD's,
bought yesterday.
I tried a DVD, it worked fine. But wouldn't recognise my
application Cd's ... Kid Pix and Jumpstart Kindergarten ... at
all. It just ejected them saying they were unsupported my my
computer.
Thinking about it last night, I also thought I should say that
I have been having alot of trouble burning CD's lately too, to
get 1 burnt I go through around 3 or 4 that my computer finds a
problem with, could this have been the beginning of my problems
now?
Oh and it is the built in CD Drive that I am using.

Hi Sam, Hi Ronni,
Sam, if I understand you correctly, iTunes is playing your
existing library
of songs fine - in which case, I don't think it can be down to
any general
system sound/volume settings.
From what you are saying, a CD - presumably in the built-in CD
player (you
don't say what your computer/configuration is) shows as
playing but outputs
no sound.
Also, although a track appears to import into iTunes, playback
of an
imported track (presumably one imported since the problem
first appeared)
also gives no sound output.
To me, that sounds like the problem is with the signal/data
transfer between
the CD drive and iTunes. Is the optical drive working in all
other respects
- ie does a DVD play OK with sound, does a data CD and/or DVD
read OK?
Cheers
Neil

Hello all,
My Itunes has stopped playing my cd's, well to be precise,
it shows that it
is playing but I have no sound.
I have tried different cd's and the result has been the
same. I also Imported
one of the songs into Itunes, but it won't play that either
(well, same as
before, it shows it is, but no sound is coming out).
Other songs already on Itunes play fine, as do songs and
other sounds from
the internet.
I have had a look at preferences in both itunes and system
preferences but
could not see anything that could be impairing its play.
I am running a power pc with 10.4.11, and itunes is 9.1
(with no updates due
that it could find.
Does anyone have any clues as to what I should look at next?
Hi Sam,
Do you have system sound on your Mac? Is the volume turned on
in System
Preferences > Sound.
If so, In iTunes under Controls > Increase volume.
Cheers,
Ronni
