Trust my rage

Tommy, I have no suggestions but that has happened with my MacBook a few times after I've been listening with headphones. It has always fixed itself but I don't know how/why.

Your sounds issue looks like this one.

All is well that ends in pizza.

After reading that link from Rob, I am reminded that many plastic ball point pen refills are about the right diameter to stick in a headphone jack to reset it.

The things one has stuffed in one's head...

What's the best way to merge 2 iTunes and iPhoto libraries?

I'm in nesting mode and want to turn my old G5 into a media server so DH and I can stop holding onto duplicate copies of every song and photo we own.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If both systems are running iTunes 9, if you map one compter's library onto the other, you can merge them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Thanks, Rob. After reading that, I tried plugging in headphones and then removing the plug while pulling it at a weird angle. Worked on the first try.

Oooh. So if I want two libraries to live as one on a third computer, I'd just transfer one to the server-to-be, and then map the other one onto it?

Our wings are not tired

With the latest version of iTunes you set up home sharing and then you can look at a remote library and see any media files that aren't already present, you can then tell iTunes to import those files.
