All headphones give distorted, crackly sound. Sometimes no sound. Headphone jack broken? Apple expresslane support giving a "generic error" message whenever I try to send in for service...
As in the title. For a while the headphone jack is occasionally crackly when the jack moves around in the port. It finally died today when I plugged it in and all the audio is heavily distorted and sometimes cuts out completely. Whenever I try to set up a service with Apple I keep getting this error message:
We're sorry, but we are unable to complete your request at this time.
Please try again in a few minutes or start over now.
I can't get through to the Irish support phone number either, it keeps saying number not recognised. Is there any other way I can send my iphone in for service (closest genius bar is 500km away...)

ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

My iphone 4s sometime has sound sometime no sound.
I bought my phone on april 2012.. Not my phone suddenly become like this.. Sometime have sound sometime no sound.. What is the problem???
There might be something in the headphone jack, maybe lint, dirt, or something else in there. Try disconnecting the headphones and then adjusting the volume, does it say headphones?
You might be able to get it out by connecting the headphones 5-10x or spraying compressed air into the jack.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone. -

I need to un install itunes on my PC. I have windows XP. when I go into my control panel and select to un install it goes through the proper steps then gives me a fatal error message and therefore cannot remove it. Any suggestions?
An error occurred while attempting to create the directory c:\Program Data\Apple\Installer Cache"
That sounds like a permissions problem. Vista uses that Trusted Installer account to install software. I don't know why it wouldn't have the correct permissions, though.
Make sure you have FULL control over all the C: drive, and try turning off UAC during the install:

After years of playing Snood, w/o problems, I started getting this error message, on my iMac, OS 10.5.8,
with 4 GB of memory when opening Snood: Not enough memory {Error # :: 0, in sound.cp@line 101
My MacBook Pro w. Mac OS 10.6.8 did not have this problem.
Initially I thought that Snood raised its minimum requirement to Mac OS 10.6.
I had several correspondences with Snood. Their tech support is great. Quick and thorough responses.
They thought the issue was in Mac's system preferences/ Sound. It was.
I didn't realize that my sound input and output devices were gone.
The fix was resetting the PRAM. I found this advice on MacFixIt.com.
MacFixIt help with volume: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10415659-263.html
Resetting the PRAM is on Apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
My sound (music!) is back, along with Snood. So glad I reset the PRAM before reinstalling the OS software!
Thank you to Snood, MacFixIt and Apple.
Happy new year all!Good work, nice post/tip, thanks!

My computer crashed necessitating re-install of operating sys and all programs including iTunes. When I click on a song in my library I get an error message "can't find this song, want to search?" What gives? How can I listen to songs in my library on this computer now?
It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

It has been for a month or 2 that I have not been able to print anything in my Firefox browser (It used to work just fine). I have no problem at all printing in Chrome ( I never use Internet Explorer ). Is it possible that my new printer is the problem? I had an HP now I have an Epson. That is the only change I have made that I am aware of.
A few weeks ago I had to print out an email, but the only way I could get it printed was to take a screen shot and paste it in a program that would print it.
The error message I get is: Printer Error An error occurred while printing.See this - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox
Specifically see this paragraph - [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox?esab=a&s=reset+printer&r=5&as=s#w_reset-all-firefox-printer-settings Reset all Firefox printer settings] -

Acrobat 9 gives an error message when I try to open it.
I've been using Acrobat 9 Standard on my Windows 7 laptop for 2-3 months without a problem, but now when I open Acrobat 9, it gives me an error message "Licensing for this product has stopped working" and shuts down. It happens when I try to open a .pdf file or just open Acrobat 9 without a file. I don't see anywhere on the Adobe website to get an answer, so I wonder if other users have an idea? Thanks.
I see that Adobe has my order listed for Acrobat 9 on it's website, but I'm not sure how else to check the registration? I use the same program on my desktop without any trouble. How do you recommend that I check the registration?

i am upgrading from 9.0.4 to 9.1.0 in the order that I am instructed when trying to get free update from the apple site i get error message..what gives with that am i supposed to just stay in os9?
9.1 is helpful for some application compatibility, but more so for running Mac OS 9 within Classic environment in Mac OS X. Classic though is not as good as booting into 9 directly, as many drivers are not accessible to the Classic environment in X. You can find the newer 9 updates if you follow this tip.

Icould let's me log in from my pc but gives me an error message when I try to open anything. ??
When I first installed iCould it worked fine. Now I log in and then try to open mail, notes, anything I get an error message. Does anyone have any ideas?
If you are talking about accessing and using the apps (Mail, Notes, Calendars, Contacts) at iCloud.com, then my recommendation is to download Apple’s Safari version 5.1.7 for Windows to access iCloud.com. It consistently works for me!!!! To make things easier with Safari, I made iCloud.com its Homepage. I’m using it to access iCloud.com from all of my PCs.
On my Windows 7 systems it appears that some add-ons are causing problems when you try to access iCloud.com with the 32-bit version of IE9, but the 64-bit version seems to work fine, more than likely because there are few add-ons that are 64 bit and the 64-bit version can't be the default browser in IE9.
