My optical drive will not read any music cds or recognize a blank cd. it might read some data cds. what is wrong with it and how can i fix it?
The optics might be dirty. Try running a cleaning CD through it and see if that makes a difference.
If not, it will have to be replace.

My friend said the speakers might be blown, but the sound still works at times. And I'm sure if he speakers were broken then the volume dials would show up as well. So I need help figuring out whys going on.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

My gen 4 ipod shuffle is not showing the green light when I switch it on (Green area shown). But when I plug it into the computer there initial orange blink and then solid orange. What wrong with it and how can I fix it.
Hello Korawees,
I was researching the issue you are describing and had a recommendation. The device is very simple, so the software troubleshooting for it is pretty limitted so I think you shoud restore the iPod shuffle and re sync the content. That way, if it is a software issue, this will fix it. Here is the article named Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1481.
Before Starting
It is important to understand the difference between "update" and "restore." Update does not affect your settings or songs, it simply installs updated software that controls iPod shuffle. Restore erases the disk and restores iPod shuffle to its original factory condition with updated software. If you only need to update iPod shuffle, this should be done on the computer where music is normally synced. Updating on another computer will result in all songs being removed from iPod shuffle.
Warning: Because Restore erases all songs and files on iPod shuffle, make sure to back up any files you've saved on iPod shuffle. Your songs, podcasts, and audiobooks can be synced back to your iPod shuffle if the items are part of your iTunes library.
How to restore iPod shuffle
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
Open iTunes, and then connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
After a few moments, iPod shuffle will appear in the Devices section on the left side of the Tunes window.
Select iPod shuffle under Devices and you will see information about it appear in the main iTunes window under the Summary tab/button for iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generation) or the Settings tab/button for iPod shuffle (1st or 2nd generation).
The Version section tells you whether iPod shuffle is up to date or needs a newer version of the software.
Click the Restore button. You will be presented with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download the latest iPod Software. The 4-possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software currently on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores after downloading the latest iPod Software on your computer.
If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress indicator will appear on the computer screen indicating that the restore process has started. Do not disconnect iPod shuffle during the restore process.
After the restore process is complete, the iPod shuffle's status light will flash orange continuously. The iPod Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences as you did when you connected your iPod shuffle for the first time.
When you come to step 7, I recommend Restore Option 4.
Take care,

What is an error 1450, and how do I fix it?
What is an error 1450, and how do I fix it-
Yes, unfortunatly using windows xp, this error keeps coming up. I am completely updated on Itunes, please help and thanks in advance.I did a Google search on Error 1450, and it seems to be a 'lack of resources' issue within windows. Not related to iTunes.
Maybe shut down all other programs (including the TSR programs you may have loaded) and see if it helps? -
I downloaded adobe flashplayer as i coulnt access video content on Facebook. now all the videos i watch jerk around. what have i done wrong and how can i fix it? I tried deleted the program to trash then emptyied trash but its still happening
Try emptying your browser cache more often. If you are using Safari, from the menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Empty Cache
Try a video on FB. If can't stream Flash content, back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
If that doesn't help, try deleing Flash cookies > Flush.app – Flash Cookie Removal Tool For OS X | MacHacks.TV -
I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad. What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?
Thanks. The reason this has become an issue is that I recently bought a new Macbook Air that the iPad is not synced to. The one is was synced to was stolen. If I want to sync this iPad to the new Air, won't it be wiped before I'm able to copy these films or am I wrong about that?

My phone has been asked to be plugged into itunes for the past hour or so, and it has been plugged in the whole time... i have tried holding in both buttons too turn it on and nothing is happening... whats wrong with it and how do i fix this :(?
Does iTunes see your phone?
Do you have a PC or a Mac?

What does this error2 mean and how do I fix it?
What does this error mean and how do I fix it? I am trying to reinstall CS4 on my Windows 8.1 machine.
Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX
Error:
Error 2.
Here is the initial error: http://s29.postimg.org/wqy2ju8iv/Untitled.png
Here is a screenshot when I click the "More Information" button: http://s27.postimg.org/bugb7rx7n/Untitled2.png
And here is the screenshot when I click the "Get Support" button: http://s4.postimg.org/c2ynvhmvx/Untitled3.png
I'm stumped.Hi there I've just installed CS4 Pro on Windows 7 64bit and got exactly the same result as you. Did you manage to find anything out, because the thing that bothered me was the limited functionality (what ever that is). Is it just a case of Windows 7 having a newer version of ActiveX already installed?

This is driving me crazy. I am suddenly being presented with CYMK colors to 2 decimal points. Too much info for me. What did I accidentally change and how can I fix it? I've been through all of the preferences, views etc. I can find but no luck. Thinking this has something to with the color settings (obviously) but with all of the possible options there I could use some help. Thanks, all!
May have been a switch from RGB to CMYK.
Or you moved one of the sliders with shift key pressed.
