Any thoughts on fixing a stratosphere?

Thanks in advance for any help.
I have a samsung stratosphere which frequently (several times a minute) crashes and reboots without me touching the power button. From searching the google this seems common, but no fixes have worked for me.
The dets: I am out of warranty and months away from an upgrade.
               I have factory reset the phone 5 times already.
               I have not rooted my phone.
               I did not download any apps before the issue arose.
               Taking the SD card out usually lets my phone boot up, but one I try opening any apps, it crashes.
So my question is....what is wrong and how do I fix it?
Thanks again!

@everyonelikesike
I would love to assist you with resolving your Samsung Stratosphere device issue! When did this problem begin with it crashing and rebooting? What steps did you take to hard reset your device? Lastly, I would like for you to try to boot the device up in Safe Mode http://vz.to/1dIybku and test it for a few hours while powered up in Safe Mode. This will help us to determine if the device issue is application related. Please keep me posted so that I can further assist. Thanks!

TS3623 I rented a movie and can watch preview perfectly with video and audio feed as signal strength is at top when I checked. However, when I purchased rental video is fine , but I get scratched sound for audio. Any thoughts to fix?

I rented a movie and can watch preview perfectly with video and audio feed as signal strength is at highest when I checked. However, when I purchased rental video is fine , but I get scratched sound for audio. Any thoughts to fix? I rented movie within week and it worked. All previews of movies and show also works.

I have a suspicion that the problem is not in the recording device itelf, but rather in the playback-software, which is struggling with an unfamiliar audio format/codec/whatever-it's-called... I opened the file in QuickTime Player 7 (7.6.6) and selected "Show Movie Properties" and it says:
"Video Track: H.264
Sound Track: Integer (Little Endian)"
All current Mac systems support Integer (both Big and Little Endian) audio natively. The fact you can hear anything at all proves that the audio is playing back. The most likely problem would be a malfunction associated with the mic pickup.

When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer. It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed. The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer. Any thoughts?

Turn the printer off.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I have an iMac5,1 with an intel processor. For the last month or so, whenever I play a video from an outside source - e.g. YouTube, the picture jumps and breaks-up. All of my software is up-to-date. Any thoughts on how to fix this problem?

You're welcome. As to checking speed go to http://speedtest.net/ and it will choose the closest server for you. BTW, whatever you do, don't click on the robot icon that says "Start Scan" or MacKeeper below that. Only use the speed test in the middle that has the button BEGIN TEST on it. It will run a download speed test first and then an upload speed test. The download test will give a much faster response.

LR5 not importing Sony RAW DSC-RX10 files. Only sees the JPEGs. Any thoughts/fixes?

LR5 not importing Sony RAW DSC-RX10 files. Only sees the JPEGs. Any thoughts/fixes?

The LR 5.3 RC at Adobe Labs lists preliminary support for the RX10, but that usually means the colors will be a bit off, because they are pretending the RX10 is a previous model with a similar sensor. I would expect better support in the final release of LR 5.3 presumably in a few weeks.
You can get started with LR 5.3 RC from http://labs.adobe.com but realize that you’ll probably want to redo your pictures, again, when the final release is available.

To import all songs on the CD, click Yes in the window that appears. iTunes starts importing the CD.---I am using a Dell and can't import the CD I need because the window doesn't automatically pop up. How do I fix this? Any thoughts?

You could try my script ConvertFormat and see if you like the results. Would be easier than inserting the CDs and correcting the tag info again. Just be aware this is a one-way trip. Once you've thrown away some quality to shrink the files you can't get it back without going back to the source. You may better off investing in a bigger drive.
If you just want to squeeze more on the iPod you can use the built-in iTunes option to convert files to a lower bitrate as they are added to the device.

I am using usb/my keyboard to record an original song. I play the melody on my keyboard but the rhythmic notation shown is not correct. i.e. a dotted 8th and 16th pattern has rests, 32 notes,etc. and most is incorrect. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

What is your GarageBand version? Are you using the most recent GarageBand 10.0.x or an earlier version?

The rhythmic notation in GarageBand is the best estimate, based on the length of the notes you played and the "quantize" settings. You can correct the score somewhat by adjusting the note values in the Piano Roll view and by selecting notes and picking a suitable time quantize setting in the track editor, e.g., if you wanted to play triplets, set the quantize value correspondingly:
But I never could get GarageBand to show the dotted notes and rests correctly.
If your main goal is to create a musical score and not to mix music, better use notation software instead of GarageBand.

The front and back camera on my itouch second generation stopped working. Any thoughts on how to fix it?

First, try to reset the device by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, set it up as new device again, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
If still no luck, get it serviced, the issue might not be software related.

My iCalendar syncs between my iPad and my iPhone, but doesn't sync every entry with iCloud on my PC. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I live by my iCalendar and when I pulled it up on my PC this evening, I've noticed that only certain entries are syncing with my iCalendar (on my PC). For example, my work schedule is present on my PC, iPhone, and iPad, but my class schedule is only present on my iPad and iPhone. I have my settings adjusted so that every event/entry is to sync, and I just plugged my iPhone into my computer to sync it as well but to no avail.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

IOS 7 install keeps coming up with error 3004 - Fixes aren't working, any thoughts?

I've tried installing ios 7 a few times now - it downloaded fine but when trying to install it is coming up with Error 3004. The suggested fixes for Error 3004 don't seem to be working. I made sure that my iTunes was up to date before downloading the ios update.
I'm also worried that I've now made the problem worse by letting it try to update to ios 7.0.2 this morning, which obviously didnt work because it didnt have ios 7 to update from....
Would love any assistance to fix the problem!

Can you check that your Wi-Fi connection is working correctly?
Do you get that error right away at the beginning of the download or much later?
Have a look whether there is plenty of free space (several gigabytes) on your iPad to receive the new iOS 7 upgrade. Remember that the upgrade is downloaded in a compressed form.
It's difficult for me to give precise advice without knowing what caused the error.
If all fails, try to do the upgrade via iTunes with your iPad connected to your computer.

ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

iTunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

The collum to the right listed similar problems. The solution appears to be that under smtp outgoing settings the user name and password are listed as optional. I have not plugged in the information and it seems to be working. However from my office it always allowed the relaying. The true test will be when I try to respond later from the road.
Thank you for your help.

All of a sudden I can't print my calendar in 'month' view. It only does day or list. Any thoughts.

Thank you so much... I put this in another thread too, but, through help I learned that it is the errors that's causing this. The problem is that I don't know enough to fix it. It happens in a nested table, (don't know CSS well enough either to use it instead) and I can't figure it out... its a full page table, 50% on each side, and a center cell that should contain a same-size nested table... as in, I want to put all the content in the center.
The error: "table" is not allowed within: "tr"
<body>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
    <td width="50%" valign="bottom"></td>
    <td width="980" align="center" valign="bottom"/><table width="980" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

My Airport Express will not stream music to my remote speakers through the laptop (windows Vista), gives error code -15000. Works fine from my IPAD and Ipod. Any thoughts, suggestions?

Itunes is throwing a -15000 error code on my Windows vista. Ipad and Ipod work great for streaming to remote speakers, trying to use the computer and it throws the error code.
Any thoughts? I've rebooted the laptop, modem, and AE, even plugged in the laptop recommended by other users, still nothing.

the following is for W7 but might work for you:
