You might need to clean the headphone port (I was in the same situation and this worked for me).  Dirt, dust, and debris accumulate in the port and eventually the computer registers the debris as headphones being plugged in.  After cleaning the issue was resolved.

    My iphone will not turn on at all. i tried to hard reboot it and still nothing what can i do to fix this?

    Take it to your local Apple Store and have the genius take a look. If it won't respond at all, it sounds like a hardware failure.

  • I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?

    When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app?  Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category.  If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes.  To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again. 
    I hope this helps!

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • Audio - toggle on/off multiple sounds even when they are not currently playing

    I am wondering if there is a way to stop toggle all sounds even if they are not playing.
    What I mean by that is I have several sound files that play one at a time when a slide comes in. I can toggle on/of the current sound but what if I want to toggle all sounds on/off in the compostion even if they are not playing so that when I go to next slide it will be on or off depending what was chosen on the previous slide?
    One of the problem would be that I do not want all sounds to be turned back on at the same time but only the current one but I still want to be able to turn off all the sounds if the user decides he does not want to hear sound while at the same time I want the sounds to load automatically on each slide if he has decided to have sound.
    Hope this makes sense.

    didn't have the time to test this code yet.
    but it should work.
    Html5 audio can not be accessed by class, it can only be accessed by id.
    so i made this code
    $( "audio" ).each(function() {
    var a = $(this).attr("id");
    var audioPlayer = document.getElementById(a)
        audioPlayer.pause();
        audioPlayer.currentTime = 0;
    this will find the id of the audios and pause them and reset the time to 0
    ( not really a way to officially stop audio )
    or you van just mute it with this code
    $( "audio" ).each(function() {
    var a = $(this).attr("id");
    var audioPlayer = document.getElementById(a)
        audioPlayer.muted = true;

    Just thought I'd let you know.  Our suspicions were correct, it was the OS. After I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) all the problems were corrected.  I also updated the RAM from 1 gb to 6 gb. The mac is working all around better. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. My superdrive had pooped out. Rather than replace it I got an external drive from OWC connected with firewire 800.  So far everything is running very well, as far as I can tell this external drive is better than the original superdrive. My superdrive has always acted funny, infact I returned the first mac I got after a week because its superdrive was also malfunctioning. Anyway, all that to say everything seems to be fully functioning again.

  • I just bought a macbook pro which worked amazingly the first few days. But now it runs worse than my old computers. How can I fix this?

    I've barely had it for a week and its starting to run slow. Wepages take forever to load and its impossible top watch any videos online. I am connected wirelessly. My other much older laptop is working fine on this connection and for a few days my Macbook Pro was lightning fast. Now it runs slower than my 3 year old laptop. Also some videos tend to get choppy when I move the mouse. The audio, however, continues uninterrupted.  The laptop also started taking some time to shut down. I bought this open-box from Bestbuy. And right now Im realizing that this is actually a Macbook Pro Mid 2010 after looking up the specs which is strange as the box it was in says 2012.
    Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 288 MB
    Software OS X Lion 10.7.3
    Macbook HD: 731.83 GB free out of 749.3 GB.
    Could the problem be that this is a 2010 laptop? I can still return it as its been a week.
    I've cleared the cache, cookies, and history but it has little effect on the way videos and pages load.

    Where did you buy this laptop?  I know if I opened a box expecing and having paid for a 2012 model and found a 2010 model, I'd be back at the store demanding an exchange quicker than you could imagine.  Open box or not, if you thought you were buying a 2012 model, you should get what you paid for.

  • When I record a video on my iPhone 4s, I play it back and it has this buzzing noise playing, even when I focus on something while filming, when I play the video back, you can hear when I've tapped to focus, how can I fix this?

    Ever since I got my Iphone 4s, I have noticed that when I film a video and play it back, it has this buzzing noise and when im in the middle of filming a video and I focus on something, you can hear a click where I have focused when I play it back, is this the microphone? can I fix it myself? or do i have to take my iPhone in to be properly fixed? Help Me please!!

    See this veeeeeeeeeery long thread.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404857
    It's an issue with hundreds of phones.  Some claim it's software related, some hardware, some say it's a mixture of both.
    Some people have had temporary success with quitting the Phone.app / restoring as a new phone / restoring from an iCloud backup / disabling Siri / toggling speakerphone on & off...
    Unfortunately all of the above only been temporary, with the problem recurring again after a few calls, or a few days etc.
    So far the only solution that seems permanent has been to replace the phone.  But even so, it's the luck of the draw to recieve a functional phone, and not another faulty one.
    I'm completely annoyed as there is no Apple Store near me...... and Apple haven't even acknowledged the issue, despite the above thread being 34 pages long, as of writing.

  • My mac mail inbox is acting funny.  I receive an email from today and the window shows me an email from a different person and topic from 2011.  How can I fix this?  The mail appears correctly on my phone but not on my computer.

    I receive an email from today March 13, 2013, but my inbox displays an email from a different person on a different topic received in 2011.  It seems like some type of corruption but I don't know how best to fix it.

    Hi.  I checked on the order and it says the order is currently being processed and I should check back tomorrow. I'm mostly just concerned because I got an email saying the order was on hold, and I want to make sure it actually does go through and I'm not just waiting for a delivery that's not going to come. I'm still confused as to why I'd get an email saying I had to call the fraud department only to be told I shouldn't have called the fraud department.

  • When I start Firefox my persona is not the one I previously chose. It defaults to blue sky and pink flowers. How can I fix this?

    I chose a persona that is black with doodled hearts, and it will stay until I close and reopen Firefox. When Firefox starts it defaults to a blue sky and pink flowers on a branch. I downloaded The personas add-on thinking that would fix it, but it has not helped. Will I have to rechoose the persona I want each time? Am I just missing something?

    Firefox does not have a built-in "Run" option on downloads for security reasons. If you "Run" an item, your anti-virus/anti-spyware may not have an opportunity to fully examine the contents until it is already installed on your hard drive. Result: damage, if infected, is already installed on your system.
    With that in mind, you can install the following add-on, but you accept the risk mentioned above ('''NOTE:''' the developer has not updated this product -- OR any of his other 7 extensions -- to be compatible beyond Firefox 3.6.x; therefore, when you upgrade to a more current version of Firefox, you may lose the functionality of the add-on if the developer does not update it.):
