Audio output jack: Can anyone fit any existing headphones in here?

I have Etymotic ER4s, Bose QC3s, and many, assorted standard-issue Apple iPod earbuds. NONE of them fits in the Air's headphone jack!
Huh?

Sorry I wasn't more clear in my preliminary question. As you said, it's not the diameter. The MBA has the same standard minijack phono plug as all iPods, Walkmen, portable CD players, and all the rest. (It is different than most cell phones, but it is the same as the iPhone.) It's just the drop-down door that is the problem -- too little clearance for minijacks that have more than a little plastic on them.
Also, when I went to my local Apple store to show them my problem and to buy the Belkin extender, they noted to me that -- for at least the skinnier items like standard iPhone earbuds -- I thought I hadn't pushed the plug in far enough and I thought the door was a problem, but actually it was making fine contact.
Takes a little getting used to, and definitely needs an extender for many things, but at least it works.

No Audio Out Of Headphone Or External Audio Output Jacks

We have a Rev. B Bondi iMac that I recently put in my wife's 4th grade classroom for her to use. When trying to hook up external speakers I discovered there is no audio output from the side audio output jack or the front two headphone jacks when listening to the CD player. (I also checked using headphones)
The internal speakers sound fine and normal. I do hear something very distorted and weak from the external audio output jacks but it is so distorted the only way I can tell it is coming from the CD player is by pausing its playing. I have been into OS X now for about 15 months and am starting to forget everything I knew of OS 8.6 which is in the Bondi.
I checked the sound portion of the Monitors and Sound Control panel and all seems set correctly. Is there some other setting that I have forgotten? Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Herb Mesler...
Other than exercising the jack-ports with a plug from a headphone, it may need some expensive repair. However I do have a trick for you to try first.
Here is my trick;
Computer must be off! Because there is some light voltage applied to the ports they can slightly arch, spoiling the trick. Arching is the root cause of electrical resistance thus not allowing for proper contact and sound will not pass through to the device.
Next take a plug "softly and full travel" through each port in the side and on the front. I repeat them about 5 times. (any proper spec/type of plug, like from a headphone can work. If it from something that is powered, like from speakers, do not use it)
Boot up the computer and test by avoiding the side ports, using only the front ports. Quite frankly I found the use of the side ports to be somewhat the cause of the problem. Mine has been taped off for about 6 years now and I never have had to repeat my trick to date.
Give it a try and post back if there is any questions. Also, I would like to hear your results.

TS1574 you should mention that the audio output jack is fleaky, try plugging and unplugging until red light goes off !!!

It should be mentionned in the Apple help that the audio output jack is sometimes fleaky, as it does not reclose the speakers contacts correctly when an earphone jack is removed. This can be checked by looking into the computer audio jack and seeing a red light, which confirms the optic output is active. Plugging and unplugging the jack until the red light disapears is the cure, unless you are unfortunate enough to have a broken audio jack. Good luck !

Same here. I don't remember doing anything out of the ordinary. I was working in Parallels on getting a AM station to stream via some web interface. Next time I went to play sound on the internal speakers, no go.
I've tried zapping the PRAM, toggling the headphone jack and the toothpick thing. Nothing seems to work.
I've also noticed that I get sound in my headphones in iTunes but not in Garageband (someone had suggested that starting up Garageband would reset things.
Any other ideas out there?
Is there a file that could get corrupted that I could switch out of my back up?

As this is the forum for PPC (pre-2006, non Intel) iMacs I assume that is what you have.
Try pairing the remote again:

I have tried all sugestions for how to charge my ipad 2 that no longer charges, and nothing seems to work, can anyone offer any new advise?

I have tried all sugestions for how to charge my ipad 2 that no longer charges, and nothing seems to work, can anyone offer any new advise?

While both the iPhone and the iPad use an Apple dock cable for charging, the iPad wants a 1100 mA charger, and the iPhone charger's a 500 mA charger. USB ports on newer Apple computers can switch into 1100 mA mode, but your average computer is going to put out no more than 500 mA and, possibly, quite less (for example, an un-powered USB hub will only put out 100 mA or so, and an iPad won't charge off that). The iPad will say "not charging" if it is trickle-charging (receiving less than 1000 mA of power).
If the problem persists when using the 1100 mA iPad charger, you need to take it to an Apple store and have it serviced or replaced. Bring the iPad charger that you received with the iPad as it may be that the charger is defective and not putting out 1100 mA.
If the problem is that it charges slow because it's being connected to iPhone chargers or PCs or older Macs, then it's not a problem with the iPad. It's charging, it just takes a long time because you are using an under-powered charger.

Optical audio output jack

Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript for flash?

Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript
for flash?
Intermediate level
I have been using flash for about 2 years more as a hobby
than anything else, some websites etc but now I realise I am going
to need to learn more actionscripting to do what I want, I have
come to terms with the simple stuff like goto – basic
variables – load mov – enough to programme up website
navigation.
I ideally want to learn more about the dynamic side of flash,
mostly for designing user interfaces and websites etc
I’m after a book that doesn’t get too heavy too
fast yet I’m a little past the more basic functions
Any thoughts?
Cheers

Is it Possible in JSF? Can anyone recommend any java Technology for this?

I am doing Post Graduate Degree in Computer Science. This is my final semester and doing project work.
Any body having idea about my requirment, help and guide to me
My description and questions are as follows:
Current Approach:
PHP has been used to achieve the flexibility of creating custom images on-the-fly. Using this approach we were able to create a web-interface similar to the application client, where we could display links and get the exact look and feel of the application client.
Drawback:
This approach forces us to use two different technologies Java and PHP, since our system uses 'Java' accessing all the API's from PHP becomes a problem. while PHP provides a way to invoke any java method. It comes with a draw back, the method calls are little slow. This delay's are loading of web-page.
Requirment:
1. Creating custom images on various locations of the screen
2. The Exact look and feel of the application map should be achieved
3. Place elements and links correctly as in application-client reflect any changes
4. Generation events on the Links and Elements
5. Setting Backgroud images for different maps
Questions:
1. is it possible in JavaServer Faces (BETA)?
2. If it is possible is JavaServer Faces(BETA) How to create custom images and create interfaces among them?
3.Can anyone recommend any java Technology for doing this?
Anybody having idea, help and guide me for doing my project

Citrix problem - can anyone offer any advice please ?

I'm trying to connect to work (Windows environment) with Citrix ICA Client 7.00.407. I use a VPN connection to the server which works fine, and then I try to access a Published Application through ICA client.( This is what I've been instructed to do by my IT people).
I manage to get as far as the grey window where it says "Checking your Credentials" (which I put into the client editor beforehand) when I get a message saying that I must have Terminal Server User Access permissions to log on to this remote computer. I click OK and the Citrix client quits.
My IT dept. have assured me that I have these Terminal Server User Access permissions. That's the point when look upon my Mac like an alien and cannot help any further.
Can anyone offer any suggestions please ?

Help! Can anyone offer any advice re color settings?

Hi all, I just don't know where to begin! Take a look at the screenshots attached.
The two images look completely different. Photoshop CS5 renders the image entirely differently. I now notice that in my old copy of CS3 the image renders way closer to what I see in ACDSee AND in Lightroom. I have NEVER managed to even begin to understand this stuff. There's the monitors, the computer, Photoshop, Lightroom and ACDSee and they all have to interract with one another and... help! Is ACDSee almost accurate? How can I make CS5 look like the images I see in Lightroom and ACDSee? Should I? Then there's the printer I use online to consider. HELP! Can anyone offer any help? All the options under color settings both on CS3 and CS5 are identical and I even tried saving the ones from CS3 and loading them into CS5, just in case, to no avail.
Can anyone offer any help? I also uploaded screenshots of the different settings in ACDSee and in CS5 and CS3 in case that helps. Is it something to do with the Proof Setup settings? They are both set to Working CMYK. Oh, my aching head!
Thanks a lot for any help anyone can offer!
Phil

Thanks. I think I DO understand the basics of color management. I have attempted to callibrate my monitors many times and even paid someone to do it once all to no avail. I end up with washed out renderings which are different on each of my monitors and look NOTHING like the prints I get. All I'm trying to ascertain is why CS5 would render so entirely differently than ACDSee, Lightroom and even CS3. Even XPlorer2 agrees with everything other than CS5! And yet all the settings in CS5 SEEM to be the same as in CS3 so what else could be causing the washed out look? I'm also noticing CS5 is sometimes showing things marginally out of focus compared to other apps but I won't even get ionto that!
Thanks, and if anyone else has any thoughts on why this would be I'd appreciate it.
Phil
