Could I permanently have messed up my headphones?

Hi, I've recently been using an equalizer for my whole MacBook. I turned it off just now to see how my headphones would sound comparatively, and I'm almost completely sure that they sound different than before the equalizer was used. Is it possible that I messed up the drivers in this process, and caused permanent damage, or have I just become accustomed to the other sound? Incase this helps, they are Harman/Kardon NC headphones.

I seriously doubt it. If you overpowered your headphones they wouldn't work at all. It's more likely that you simply became temporarily accustomed to the different equalization curve.

  • Could Adobe update have messed with Vista?

    I just had a major problem with Vista Business.  Vista required re-activation - and demanded that I reinstall Vista.  Fortunately I found a workaround and was able to activate over the phone without doing a re-installation, which would have involved reformatting the hard drive.  The whole episode, including finding solutions on the internet, only took about three hours
    The reason I'm wondering if it was Adobe is that the Adobe Reader update is the only change to my computer in the past 24 hours.  I allowed the update installation after a message asking me to do so, as part of the automatic notification.
    I'm curious if anyone else has had the same or similar problem.
    It might not be Adobe Reader at all of course.  I just thought it a coincidence and worth posting about here, just in case there is a problem with the latest build.
    (I won't be re-installing the Reader because I have Adobe Acrobat 8, as part of Adobe Design Premium - so won't be without a pdf reader altogether.  Haven't tried the full Acrobat yet - but hopefully it's okay.)

    Neither Reader nor Acrobat should cause a problem. If you had Acrobat and Reader installed and then uninstalled Reader you will need to re-install Acrobat since both Reader and Acrobat share resources. This is one of many reasons Adobe doesn't recommend or support computers that have both Reader and Acrobat installed.

  • I have Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones.  I am unable to insert the male end all the way into the IPAD3.  I do have sound in the headphones, however.  Is this common for most headsets on the IPAD3?

    No, it's not common for any of the headphonse I've plugged into my iPad, but that doesn't mean it isn't normal for this particular set of headphones and iPad.  That said, are you sure you've pushed the plug in all the way?  I have found that on my New iPad, the headphone plug requires more effort to connect the plug than on my previous iPad 2.  If they sound fine, I guess I wouldn't be concerned.  If they don't sound good, it could be an issue.

  • I guess I should not have messed with my file sharing pref...now I'm toast

    I use my Airport to connect to my DSL.
    I was "messing around" with my SHARING configuration (Apple...System Pref....Sharing...) and did something awful. I no longer have wireless connection to my Verizon router. I can hook up and get online (as I'm doing now) with Ethernet , but not Airport.
    The Airport ICON is now GREY and has an ARROW (pointing UP) though it. Never seen that before.
    And when I click on the icon I can't find my net work. The other Macs in the house work fine with airport.
    Verizon tech support could not help.
    How can get my Sharing preference back to normal (I was trying and guessing how to connect my other imacs around my home , without really knowing what I was doing. And I did something in there to screw this up).
    Help please
    JON

    Sys Prefs Sharing should not have messed up your ability to connect wirelessly to your router.
    Click on the  on your menubar, click on "About This Mac" then click on "More Info..." Find "Airport Card" under "Network" and click on it. Does it say something like "No information found" or is your Airport card being recognized? If Airport is recognized as existing, I would next look in Sys Prefs Network, authenticate on the padlock in the lower lefthand corner, click on AIrport then click on Advanced, then check stuff in there, like on the Airport tab, is your home network listed there anymore? Try deleting it and readding it. Under TCP/IP, are you using DHCP (or whatever you use)? Or might it have gotten changed to a setting that is incompatible with your router's settings?
    To get the Sharing Prefs "back to normal," just uncheck all of the checkboxes in Sharing and it will be back in its OEM state.

    Hello eman.jafri,
    If the phone will not turn on at all, I would reset the device with this process:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    It is possible you may have to put the device in recovery mode and restore it with iTunes.
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • I only show one iCloud on my IPhone that can do a restore. I synced it with my MacBook Pro and I think that may have messed things up. Prior to that I have several backups. Will a "genius" be able to access the info I need?

    I only show one iCloud on my IPhone that can do a restore. I synced it with my MacBook Pro and I think that may have messed things up. Prior to that I have several backups. Will a "genius" be able to access the info I need?

    If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
    Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
    What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
    iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
    The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

    Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

  • I have messed my MacBook Pro attempting to customize it. I am far from savvy with technology and I would like to erase and reset it to out of the box brand new and start over

    Polly,
    usually there are multiple models of MacBook Pro per model number, but in the case of your model number (A1502), there’s currently only one model for that model number: 13-inch Late 2013.
    To reset your MacBook Pro, you’ll need to boot into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as you start it up. When the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk (most likely the top item of the list). On the right-hand side, select the Erase tab. For the Format dropdown, select “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)”. For the Name input box, “Macintosh HD” has traditionally been the default name — I don’t know if that’s still the case for the Late 2013 models. After that, press the Erase… button, and erase its entire internal disk. When it’s finished with the erasure, exit Disk Utility, and select Shut Down from the Apple menu. When you start it up again, OS X Internet Recovery will redownload Mavericks from Apple’s servers and reïnstall it on your internal disk. Once it has reïnstalled, run Software Update to get it up to date, and adjust the System Preferences to your taste.

  • Could I please have feedback on adding Aperture, mainly for organization and storage.

    I have Iphoto and Adobe Photoshop already.  In my iPhoto I have 30K photos.  Could I please have feedback on adding Aperture, mainly for organization and storage.

    You wouldn't be adding it, you'd be replacing iPhoto with it.
    It does all the jobs that iPhoto does, and then some. You'll also find yourself using Photoshop less.

  • Could my mac have been hacked?

    Could my mac have been hacked?
    This maybe an odd question but recently I have been receiving anonymous threatening emails which appear to be from my ex-girlfriend or her friends. I closed one email account down plus suspended my Facebook. Now I am receiving more threats via other my email accounts.
    Today both my sister and I have received similar via email and also mobile phone text message.
    I am now concerned that somehow someone has stolen my info via my Mac or iCloud. Is this possible?

    I have already reported it to the police but the person(s) have used some kind of anonymous email thing, probably isn't worth the cost or the man hours in trying to track it down. It's made me a bit paranoid about my personal information. I will be beefing up the security on my mac, and changing all of my passwords, can anyone recommend any good security / firewall software to keep things safe online?

    If you haven't already done so, you might want to go to control panel>uninstall, right-click on iCloud on the programs list and select Repair.  Then restart your PC and try photo stream again.  If that doesn't resolve it, try uninstalling iCloud and reinstall the latest version from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455.
