Fuck.

So I was making some ringtones in GarageBand. I forgot that the volume to GarageBand volume was kinda high. Out of nowhere it told me that my MP3 file had too many complicated instruments and it cannot all be played.

Than the sound stopped and it turned it down and up and I realized the left speaker wasn't playing. I went to the knob to turn all the volume to the left speaker and nothing played.

And that's when I realized. I closed garage band and went to iTunes and it was the same. And when I turn the volume all the way down it makes a quick "Boof" sound and same as when I turn it back on for the left speaker. Not the right speaker.

I went to settings and doesn't seem like much I can do. Am I fucked?

Is there any way to fix this?
 
Is this on the internal speakers or on external ones? If on external you could swap the wires over and if the problem moves to the other side it is the amplifier and if it doesn't then it is the speaker. Also try a set of headphones. If both sides work then it is deffo the speaker.
 
Restart your computer.

Remove and re-insert all cables, making sure they are firmly connected.

Check in System Preferences/Sound that the speakers (or Line Output, if the speakers are connected to the analog output) are selected for output.
 
It's internal speakers. And oddly enough it fixed itself.

It's so weird though. The laptop has two speakers.

One that are to the left side of the keyboard and than one to the right side.

GarageBand has a completely different volume thing I guess. But I did not restart my computer. I closed it cause I had to go to work and kept it in my bag while I was at work. I'm not at home now but I just opened it cause I was gonna plug in some external speakers that I brought.

But that clicky noise is gone. That's what scared me the most when I turned the volume all the way down and then back up by one that clicky noise on the left speaker.

I did go to System Preferences when it wasn't working too and tried a few things and nothing. I thought something was actually broken. But I guess it was a software thing. Thank god. Well lesson learned. I'm gonna be more careful now. Sorry for the false alert but this just scared the hell out of me.
 
It may have been overload protection kicking in. Anyhow at least it is all back up and working.
 
YES.

I have heard that. Thank you for re-enforcing keeland. I am kinda afraid to update to 10.5.7 at all now though.

But yes the odd statiticy screen and some stuff being gone with the alpha update. The combo sounds much safer.

And I think you are right trawler. There is no reason for GarageBand to say that there are too many instruments in an MP3 player itself. A MIDI file is different but when the MP3 only represents on instrument than it shouldn't really have a problem.

I'll have to watch out for that from now on.

Thank you guys :D
 
I kinda heard reverse though. I heard that downloading from the site caused problems with the Alpha Package and that using Software Update to update from 10.5.6 or anything below to 10.5.7 via Combo Package was the best solution.

I think the problem with updating too is running other stuff as well. A lot of the posts I read people were doing things like skyping, im, websites open, and all kinds of stuff. When installing something it's generally a good idea to close all applications. Although some more over others.

I'll try the update later.

But I don't really see a need to update.
 
Security Holes huh. I heard it's the next stop til leopard as well. Which is rumored to be coming out next year.

Good.

I was wondering that. Someone asked from a forum if you can re-install over it. And that person got no response. I am not sure which one I'll try. But I DEFINATELY need to clean out my computer big time. My whole desktop looks like a teenager's room full of posters that are useless and some that are cool but just overlapping each other, way to close together, and such a mess.

But I guess I should update soon. I should probably get another External Hard drive too so I can use that as time machine back up. I already have one but it has all my porn and other goodies on it so it doesn't have enough memory to back up my computer T_T"

Thanks :D
 
I ran the 10.5.7 update on all my Macs (including a MacBook Pro) using Software Update. No problems here at all.
