Anyone know what's wrong with my audio jack?

So I've had this computer for about 2 years now, got this when I graduated High School now I'm going into my junior year of college. Out of the time that I've had it I had to replace the hard drive once, and nowadays the headphone jack is giving me some sort of strange feedback. I read other posts regarding systems preferences regarding headphones and it works just fine. The weird thing is that whenever I plug my headphones in to the audio jack, I receive a lot of unnecessary feedback. I'll hear buzzing, static, and my sound is all the way at max volume but it sounds as if it's at the minimum. Whenever I jiggle my headphones the static gets louder, but that doesn't seem to solve the problem or give an idea to what's wrong.
Props to anyone if they know whatever's going on with my stuff. Thanks

  • Anyone knows what's wrong with AppleCare?

    An "advisor" told me to ship everything back for a repair for my new iPad, so I did.  Then I got back only the iPad, not to mention they shipped it to the wrong address.  Fortunately it was a false address which doesn'e exist, and FedEx allowed me to do a pickup (after 8 days of not contacting me or Apple, of course).  They were great about shipping me back some new accessories but not the packaging, but they missed a part.  This missing part is taking FOREVER to ship out.  I have called several times in a row just for this little missing dock, which I just need to charge my iPad.  Every time a SENIOR ADVISOR promises me that the missing accessory would be shipped out the next day, but apparently not.  One time, it even took me forever to explain to an advisor what an iPad charger is consisted of (She still didn't understand why an adaptor can be broken into two parts, not counting the USB cord).  I mean, is this some kind of joke?  I even know better than she does.  The iPad was supposed to be a Father's Day gift, and I can't believe how long it's taking me to get this thing done.  Just to clarify, this isn't my first time using AppleCare, and they were NOT like this before.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH APPLE???  And, most importantly, I want my stuff back now and try to apologize to my father about what happened.

    I believe the OP shipped "everything" back, including the 10W wall charger, which was not returned.  I can understand her frustration, but of course, since we are all just users here, I'm not sure what she is hoping we can offer, other than a sympathetic ear.........

  • Does anyone know what is wrong with iTunes today (4/16/13) ?

    I keep getting an error message stating that something is wrong with the iTunes network.  Anyone else getting that error?

    Look at the threads....dozens of people here are experiencing it. SO whatever it is it's cross platforms and versions of the operating systems.
    Waiting it out seems to be all folks can do.

  • Does anyone know what's wrong with my ipod?

    Hi, I have a 3rd generation 20Gb ipod that's almost 3 yrs old. Recently the battery life became so bad it would play less than 1 song before dying from full charge, so I bought a new super-life battery from Maplins and replaced the battery. It was a very fiddly job, but their were 2 of us doing it and I don't think we did anything wrong during the process.
    Since replacing the battery, my ipod has a great battery life and the first 2 times I used it, it was perfect. Then it started acting very bizarrely. If left unconnected for a few hours, it would restore itself to factory settings, wiping its hard drive. Then on connecting to the computer it would perform a very long-winded check (with an icon appearing on the screen like a CD being examined with a magnifying glass), before I could put the music on again. It did this every time I used it, which was annoying, but I could at least use it in short bursts.
    Now however, it will not work at all. Every time I connect it to the computer it does its checking and then either the ipod, the computer, or both will crash. On restarting both, it does the same again. If I start the ipod in disk mode, it appears in itunes and everything, and I can add music, but it just wipes itself again when I put it back to normal ipod mode. I've tried the 5 Rs and all have failed (although my software update didn't work too well, I'm not sure if it actually did it 'coz the software update prog kept crashing).
    Basically, can anyone shed any light on what this fault is and how to fix it? Is it a problem with the ipod or something I did to it while changing the battery?
    Thanks!

    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.

  • Does anyone know what is wrong with flash games?

    Whenever I try to load a flash game on any website, it comes up fine. However, when I simply click on a button, it freezes both Firefox and the flash script. I just downloaded FF v3.6.10 and updated Adobe Flash player. It was fine before the 3.6.10 update.
    Everything else seems to be fine though...

    Safe mode did not help. In fact, it made Firefox freeze for longer than in normal mode.. I am also using the default theme..
    When I run the Firefox safe mode, it does not come up with the safe mode dialog box like it says in the FAQ.
    Edit: Actually, Java was the problem. To fix, go to start> All Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore, and pick the date that you installed Java. That might help anyone who has this problem.

  • Anyone know what's wrong with my browser?

    <pre><i>Locking duplicate thread.

    No drop down boxes, only text. Text overlaying other text. missing graphics. This has happened since the PC was blighted with "Antivirus Security Pro" scam. I have reinstalled Firefox, Java & Adobe Flash Player to no avail! Navigation between sites is ok, as are animations and graphics in advertisements?
    Any clues?

  • My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it

    My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?

    Make sure all apps are fully closed:
    - double tap your home button
    - hold your finger on an app
    - when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
    Now do a hard reset:
    - hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
    - the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
    If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:

    Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

    Hope this helps

  • My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off.  The screen is black with the white apple in the middle.  It won't turn off and it won't come on.  anyone know what is wrong?

    My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off.  The screen is black with the white apple in the middle of the screen.  It won't turn off and won't come completely on.  Anyone know what is wrong?

    See if this lets the iPad start up.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

    My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
    I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse.  I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze.  When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally.  Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine.  But there are blue stripes on my screen.  The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes.  I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer.  If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed.  I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either. 
    Does anyone else have experience with this?  Is it the firmware or what?  I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Please help... Thanks!

    I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them  the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

    l have an apple tv  2 generation please help me

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

    I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

    To fix the freezing when sleeping problem go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'Computer Sleep' to 'Never'. It seems there is a problem for some with Bluetooth failing to wake after sleep. This fixes it 100% for me and many others on here, until Apple issue a software update to address it.
    Not sure what to suggest on the internet problem. I assume you are connected and receive and send emails OK.
    Edit: To try to troubleshoot the internet issue maybe try turning the Firewall off: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall tab.
