Cracking and popping has returned with version 4.3.5

I just updated to 4.3.5 and the popping and cracking is back.  This is so annoying.  A $300 iPod and have crap sound quality when using it in the car.  I didn't have the issue with the cracking and popping when 4.3.4 was on the iPod.  Can I go back to 4.3.4 on my Touch?  This is unexcusable for such a high dollar mp3 player to have the same problem over and over and over.  Hopefully Apple will get this taken care of.

You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.

  • Cracks and popping sound: A never ending sto

    A few years ago i had few cumputers (always custom made) in which i always used the same SB Li've! 3.0 card (Windows 98 SE). Worked like a charm without any problem.
    Then i upgraded to Windows XP and the problems started. I still kept using that SB Li've! 3.0 but i had cracks and pops in about every sound environment i used (games, CD playback etc). In the end, i got rid of the SB Li've! 3.0 and started using the onboard sound from the motherboard (ASUS at first). This was a RealTek AC97. All problems gone, no cracks, no pops, just great sound without any problems.
    I did upgraded again, now to an MSI motherboard also with integrated sound (RealTek AC97). Just as with the ASUS, not a single problem soundwise.
    Then a few days ago, i decided to look for an add-on soundcard again to reduce the CPU workload a bit. Guessing the old SB Li've! 3.0 and XP didn't go along fine, i went for cheap SB Li've! Audigy. Disabled the onboard AC97, removed it's drivers, installed the Audigy without any problems, updated the Creative drivers to the latest version and rebooted my system... guess what... the cracks and the pops in the sound are back in about every sound environment i use.
    Today, i reverted back to the AC97... No more cracks and pops!!!!
    Since i used a varity of hardware with various chipsets which all worked fine as long as there was no Creative soundcard involved, i can only conclude that your product has some serious problem (and regarding the same remarks made on various forums, i'm far from the only one). I tried about every solution i could find, without succes until this date.
    Therefore, i decided that this will be my last Creative product ever bought.

    Well, i got it working. I tried about everything i came accros (IRQ settings, PCI latency and stuff like that) but nothing really helped. Forcing IRQ's in the MB's BIOS didn't help and Latency was AOK.
    Then i did read here somewhere that you can change your computer setting from ACPI to Standard PC in the device manager and that this helped. So i checked that but i could not change to a Standard PC like mentioned in a previous topic. Since i'm planning a complete re-install when my new Videocard arri'ves this week, i thougt "what the heck", let's do some extra testing. The only thing i could do was uninstall the ACPI driver. I did this, rebooted and i had to set a few settings (video and stuff) back to my settings because they reverted back to default. Also, every hardware on the USB asked for a re-install. Since everthing was still install, this was a piece of cake.
    So after removing the ACPI driver (although the device manager says that it's still an ACPI PC), and resetting a few setups + re-installing a bit of hardware, i tried and soundcard and BINGO!, no cracks, no pops, no tics anymore. Sound is just as smooth as a baby's ass now.. :-)
    BTW: For those interrested in my setup: MSI K8T Neo motherboard, AMD Athlon 3000+ 64bit, GB Ram, GT6600 256MB DDR3, SB Audigy LS, 200GB SATA Harddisk & a 40 GB HD on IDE as back up, Plextor CD 6x burner, HP printer, Cougar stick and throttle (modded), TrackIR, etc...

  • Cracking and popping noise Sound Blaster x-Fi Platinum Running on Windows 7 32 Bit

    Hi everyone, I am using a x-fi platinum card and it simply wont work with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit. I have been using both windows 7 public beta and release candidate for last 8 months. Let me give you my PC configuration.
    Intel Pentium D 3.4GHz
    2GB DDR2 Memory running in Dual Channel Mode
    ATI Radeon HD 4670 Video Card With 52MB DDR3
    It has a built in sound on mother board (Disabled at the moment)
    With the above configuration I tried using my x-fi platinum on both Windows XP and Windows Vista, and it worked perfectly without any problem. When I upgraded to windows 7 beta for the first time with the creative beta driver for windows 7, I noticed that whenever there is any on screen activity, such as minimizing and maximizing windows, switching windows, scrolling, photo or webpage transition, etc. there are cracking and popping noises. And if there are continuous or too much activity on the screen at some times the sound card completely fails and unable to provide any sound. When I took the sound card out and enabled the on board audio chip (Realtek HD Audio), the sound was fine without any cracking or popping issue. I eventually upgraded to Windows 7 RC and also currently using the latest driver for windows 7 and I am still having the same problem. As a reasult I am being forced to use the on board realtek audio solution which provides really crappy sound compared to x-fi platinum.
    It appears that the problem exists only when I try to run x-fi platinum on windows 7. I really hope there is a solution for this otherwise I will have to sell my beloved sound card which I have been using for at least 3 years on ebay and stick with low quality Realtek HD sound system.

  • Cracking and popping over FireWire

    Audio or videos files played back with QuickTime over my FireWire connection are accompanied by quite a bit of cracking and popping. The crackling is not heard during quiet portions of the file. The format of the file doesn’t seem to matter (.mov, .wav, etc.). I can play back the same files over FireWire with other playback software, like VLC, and the problem disappears.
    Interestingly, this problem with QT also disappears when listening with headphones plugged into the jack on my mac. In other words, the problem only occurs when I use QT and pipe the output through FireWire.
    My FireWire goes into a mixer, an Onyx-1220i and from there gets piped into my studio speakers using the "Control Room Out" jacks.
    Listen closely to the link for a sample recorded directly from my studio speakers using my iPhone: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15366433/Recording.m4a
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina (2012 model).

    this is a known bug to many users on the forums look at this thread

  • Cracking and popping on Inspire T2900 Speakers

    There was a message exactly like this one on the forums about a year ago, perhaps more, and there were no responses...hopefully this proves more fruitful.
    Yesterday my Inspire T2900 speakers began to pop and crack. The pops happen at regular intervals of maybe ten seconds or so, and distort sound whenever they occur. Even when there is nothing playing on them, the sound is simply obnoxious. The pops continue even when the speakers are 'off' (aka, the volume on the control is turned all the way down so that it clicks off), though they are quieter. Only when the system is unplugged completely (or the speakers unplugged from the sub unit) do they stop.
    I have an audigy 4 sound card purchased this past summer. Even with headphones plugged in, the speakers still crack and pop.
    Any help with this problem is greatly appreciated.

    Do they still make the cracking if you unplug the leads to the computer at the speaker side? Are all connections (all computer cables, all speaker cables, and the power cable) firmly connected? Finally, it may sound silly and is highly unlikely, but nothing else in the house is being turned on to trigger it.
    If none of those help i would assume the problem is with the speakers and your best bet is to contact support.

  • I have a macbook that is white and it has the osx version 10.6.8, can i upgrade to mountain lion

    I have a macbook that is white and it has the osx version 10.6.8,  can i upgage to Mountain Lion?

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?

    launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
    And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

    PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8

I am at a massive loss in why this is happening i have tried rolling back audio drivers and what not any solutions?

    hi i just like to say i had a similar fault though i would be surprised if it causing yours,but you never know,my fault was my laptop lid, [9 months old] it contains the mic ,and when the lid was in a certain angle crackles could be heard worse when i had my external sound card in, it was a faulty membrane [ lid to body] easily missed by engineer because it was the same angle all the time it happened,good luck, PS you English is very good

I have a X-Fi Fataty. and i am running Vista 64 bitAny one else getting VERRY BAD stuttering, cracking, and popping sounds in games?Titan quest for example on the main menu is COMPLETLY HORRIBLEWorld of Warcraft is doing the same issue. I didnt have this issue in XP?for Kicks i have tried moveing the card?to all my differnt PCI slots. and yes i am running ALchemy on TQ and WoW.

    I have the same problem but I believe it is a Vista-64 issue not a Creative issue. I tried using my onboard sound instead and same problem. I have an nVidia 7900GTX on a 945P motherboard. The problem only happens in graphically intensi've tasks for me.

    I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
    As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
    Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!

  • Mail boxes gone and Mail has returned to start

    I opened Mail today and had problems with log on. It refused to send mail. It then froze. I did a force quit only to find that the entire application has reset to Zero i.e. no mail boxes and it asks me to set up a new account. My entire account and mailboxes has disappeared. This is a one of a series of problems following a major crash last weekend.
    I then rebuilt permissions. verified the disk cleared the caches only to ind that all my prferences have been set to default. All applications are opening as if for the first time. e.g. Firefox has lost all bookmarks and my finder is at default - all dock items have disappeared as have a series of widgets. the only widgets that open are the Appe default items.

    Take a look at the following articles in case there is something there that could explain what happened and post back with your observations:

  • Recorded Playback has cracks and pops! Help!

    I was recording yesterday using a firewire input with an Alesis MultiMix16, and after i recorded (Only using two tracks) the playback had little random pops and cracks. How do i fix this in time for a pro recording session this friday?

    The first thing I'd do is restart the mac and restart the interface. then record some tracks and see if the problem persists.
    You might also want to trash GB preferences.
    Also, check the driver for the Alesis and make sure it's the latest.

  • How can I work offline and then re-synch with version control in SharePoint?

    I am using RoboHelp 11 with SharePoint 2010 for version control. How can I work off-line and then re-synch my files with SharePoint when reconnected?
    If I allow the connection to SharePoint to remain while working remotely through VPN, I am constantly annoyed by notices that "the underlying connection is lost."
    Thanks!
    Carol

    Until/unless a solution is available here's my proposed work-around:
    1.Check in all files from my primary project to SharePoint. (I have only one project.)
    2. Duplicate the project that is linked to SharePoint. Name it "Off-Line Project" so that I am always aware of the project I'm working on. Don't link Off-Line Project to source control/SharePoint.
    3. Before working off-line, import or overlay the latest version of all content (html) files from the SharePoint-linked project into Off-Line Project.
    4. Work off-line using only Off-Line Project.
    5. Returning to the office, get the latest version of all files from SharePoint. (eventually, I won't be the only person working on the project) import (or maybe just overlay using Windows Explorer?) the files I've worked on from Off-Line Project to the primary project.
    Feedback? Suggestions?

  • Cracks and pops while playing anything "above" stereo

    Hi!
    First of all I have read the sticky about this issue but did not find anything that I think applies.
    I recently had a misshappen with my old HTPC (the PSU burned, taking with it the mobo, processor and two harddri'ves ?<img alt="Shocked[/img] src="http://ac3filter.net/forum/Smileys/amunet/shocked.gif">) and I had to build a new box. The specs are the following:
    Antec Fusion Remote
    Gigabyte MA78GM-UD2H
    Athlon 64 X2 7850
    2GB Kingston HyperX 066MHz DDR2
    500GB Caviar Blue SATA2
    X-Fi Extreme Audio
    Now the problem (which I have tried to research before posting this) is that every now and then the sound will pop and crackle when playing anything "above" stereo. The signal will cut out so to speak, the amp will lose the connection momentarily to recieve it half a second or so later. At first I thought that grounding might be the issue but as I said normal stereo-stuff like mp3's, youtube etc work without any problems.
    The soundcard is from my old HTPC and has worked flawlessly and the same thing goes for the cable (analogue to coax from the digital I/O of the X-Fi with SPDIF enabled).
    It happens in VLC, MPCHC and XBMC. So both with AC3 Filter and VLC's internal encoder.
    The reason I'm using the X-Fi and not the internal Realtek is that I can not for the life of me get it to work hehe. It is disabled from the BIOS.
    So, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    EDIT: Using Windows XP SP3 with newest drivers for the X-Fi.

    Your getting that error because one or more of the files you are trying to sync cannot be found. You need to make sure your iTunes library is in fact accessible. This error is common with folks that store their library or parts of their library on an external drive,
