MacPro 2009 suddenly lost sound and the start-up time is more than a minute

Hi just a couple of days my MacPro in early 2009 has started to take well over a minute to start when she used to take less than 30 seconds.

Around the same time, I lost the sound of my Analog Audio Line out port.  (Don't know if there is any connection.)

I can still use my head set for its ok when plugged into a USB port.

When I go to the sound pane there is no visible line output port.  I have a Boise radio connected to the line port, having the sound transmitted by the intermediary for the auxiliary voltage on the radio.  It has been working well for many years.

I tried to plug into a spare set of powered speakers, the choice of output Line Out appeared in the pane sound but still cannot get any sound from the speakers when I chose it.

The loss of the noise is a nuisance, but I can still use my head set.

It is the slow-start up that bothers me, although once it has finally started the computer works very well and reacts quickly.

Something has changed dramatically, and I feel that something happens and it doesn't bode well for me.

Hope someone can give me some good news and a difficulty.

Thank you

Try to open disk utility and repair the drive.

    I'm sorry, I thought you were using 11 Acrobat. Preferably this parameter was introduced with Acrobat 11. In Acrobat 10, you can instead set the agenda tab 'Order tabs by Row' or something other than manually or not specified. To do this in the "Tab order" drop-down list in the component fields in form editing mode. If you want a custom tab order, wait until set when you have added all the fields.

  • HP Pavilion g7 1178 AC: windows jingle/tune does not sound and the start up programs do not start before the RESET

    When I start my computer, I have the lock screen, enter my PIN and then nothing really happens, I get all the blank screens or error messages just my old image of the windows desktop 7, then I RESTART my pc and then I get Windows Small Volkov song/jingle/air once it starts again , then my lock screen and then my start up programs start at work, bitdefender, toolwiz and things are working properly.  I removed my old windows, clean up the files using the disk.

    I do not understand why the windows little tune does not make its sound until I restart?  Does this mean that windows is does not start properly until I restart?  And would that be why my bitdefender is does not properly start as well. ?

    I checked in the Task Manager after the first start-up, he said that the two programs have been activated, but they do not work properly.  I checked bitdefender and it also says that it is on the startup list, but why he doesn't have the things I have planned to start rebooting?

    It is very frustrating having to start my pc, wait a while, then do a reboot to get things every morning.  Suggestions, ideas, help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time, sincerely, Niki

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click on the menu button , click Help , and then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    If Safe Mode did not help, try clicking on Restore Defaults, as shown - controls customize Firefox, buttons, and toolbars.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem. Thank you!

    My screen goes black and the start menu does not load after start up logo and the only thing on the screen I see is my mouse pointer

    Hello

    You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
    Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
    on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

    Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
    CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
    on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
    by tapping F8 as you start several times.

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
    That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
    Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
    Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
    field efforts.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review other cases and a list of documents to support further down the page, in which case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, need to revert to a previous version or try the version iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for the problems of performance or compatibility with third-party software.

    Your library must be affected by these measures, but it is also related to backup and recovery advice if necessary.

    If you have tried the suggestions above without success, then another option is to go back to the previous version of iTunes that has worked for you. See the roll back tips to installers of iTunes. Roll back of 12.3.3 will be to restore the pre-upgrade library in the previous iTunes libraries folder.
