Crackling Sound and Apple Icon

Sometimes when I turn on my iPod Video it displays a silver apple icon on a black background. Is that normal. My second problem is a crackling sound the iPod sometimes emits before playing a sound. Can I fix that?

Yes the icon is normal if you haven't turned on your iPod for a while. It goes into a sort of hiberation after a period of time (12 or 14 hours I think) and takes slightly longer to start up. As to the crackling, have you tried different earphones in case they are causing it?

I just got ipad mini and did all the settings necessary, went to turn on today and apple icon comes on but then itunes icon comes up with a long looking lock, I can't get past it to open ipad

I just got an ipad mini and didf all the settings necessary. Went to turn on ipad this morning and apple icon shows then itunes icon and a long looking lock. I cannot get on ipad. Not sure how to get it opened and operational?

Where did you get the iPad? Did you buy this from Apple or an Authorized Retailer? or did you buy this from a friend, off eBay, from "some guy", etc.?

Ipad won't respond to forced shutdown...spinning between battery icon and apple icon and flashing home screen

ipad wont respond to forced shutdown...spins between battery icon and apple icon and short flashes of the home screen

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Odd crackling sound and smoke?

I've just noticed today that when I lift my Macbook Pro 13" (2010 version) up, say towards me a weird crackling sound is made, I'm pretty sure it's not from the speakers, it's similar to the sound you get with a wire and there's a bad conncection or something. Also, I swear smoke or something similar came out of the gap bit by the keyboard, near the monitor if this makes sense? I think I'm still under the year warranty so would it be worth calling/going into an apple shop? I'm a bit worried!

Yeah I might have to if it continues, I mean, it doesn't seem to do it all the time, just every now and then, it's just really weird! If I did take it in how long do you think it would be before I got it back?

TS1286 what can I do if I cannot sync with ITUNES as USB is not recognised, iphone is not charging and apple icon displays and then dissapears - loads and then dissapears....?

I started having issues charging my Iphone and found that if it was switched off and on mains power it would charge.
It does not allow syncing with Itunes and or usb conncection.
I have a lot of photos on my phone that I have not been able to save (USB issue) and I am worried about retrieving these.
If my phone is connected to mains power - the apple icon comes on - then it goes off - then a few seconds later the icon comes up again and then off again?
Help please.
Thanks
EJ

Crackling sound and audiodg.exe problem in windows 7

Hi,
I suddenly ran into this problem with my Pavilion dv7. The music played by Windows Media Player as well as other player become slowed and crackled. My norton complained that the audiodg.exe occupied most of the CPU power.
I ran through a google search to find the solutions. But it seems none of them works. Someone suggests to disable the audio device enhancement. but mine has been disabled already. Someone suggestes to upgrade the driver, but mine is up to day. Anyone has met a similar problem?
My OS is window7 professional sp1
My audio device is IDT HD audio codec

Same problem w/ audiodg.exe /uses 100% of one core on my quad core and no diabling sound enchancements DOES NOT WORK
Same problems w/ crackling sound
system:
pavailon p7-1126s
windows 7 64 bit
If there is a soulution to this, A REAL SOULTION other than install a new sound card, someone, anyone please: post, msg me, email me or do all 3

Crossfades produce crackling sound and hesitations

For no obvious reason, out of the blue, all crossfades now produce a crackling sound (in and around it as well) and hestitations. So I have had to eliminate all crossfades from my sessions. Not good as you can imagine. It doesn't seem to affect mixdowns but it is impossible to work with during mixing and recording, so I now have no crossfades. What would cause this? I haven't changed anythng but there must be a setting to fix this.
Please help. Thanks!

I continue to have this condition and it is becoming very unworkable. I can't even have one crossfade or the crackling starts and even the timing slows down. I have tried every latency setting and it's set to the highest now (2024). Crossfades are a thing of the past for me, can you imagine, mixing without any crossfades.
Please, someone offer some solution. I've had great support on this forum before but lately it seems to be a desert, at least as far as my problems go. To reiterate, Audition 3 does not have this problem and runs smooth, fast, with no crackling. Then load Audition 6, and it's a big drag. I'm getting panicky as I have sessions. I just don't know what else to do.
Help!
Thanks!

Constant crackling sounds and Crashes Safari 4.02, SF 4.02 worse than SF 3

The system requirements say G5 macs are supported but
all i get from s afari is an aweful experience.
-when i start it up, get alot of crackling sounds coming out of the G5 Tower
-when safari is open, i get constant sounds coming out of the G5 tower
-when i use Audio HighJack( a program to capture sound from any program) and Go to the bookmarks in safarii, safari crashes
I feel like i want to go back to Safari 3, even if safair did make my computer produce sounds too. but it was less often.
Oh by the way Firefox doesn't make my computer do any weird sounds AT ALL. How's that?
Why only Safari?

Ok guys.. problem solved
I switched back to Safari 3.11
NOW IT"S SMOOTH, Fast, ,and i don't get any weird Sounds like i was getting

Starts up. Starting sound and apple, then shutdown again

When I turn it on, the starting sound plays, the apple and the "standard" indicator shows, and also another indicator that isn't normal. It loads a couple of seconds and then it shuts down again. What to do?
I've tried starting it in safemode and reseting SMC, but without sucsess.
Worth to mention is that I dropped the mac from a table in to a concret floor, no visual damage and it worked all good for a couple of days, and then it crashed and now it wont start!

If you have an external boot drive you can connect, try that. Otherwise make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.
Ciao.

Nano scollling through files icon and apple icon, won't restore

Help, this is troubling.
When plugged into the computer my nano scolls though three screens: apple, file icon with exclamation point and then www.apple.com/suuport/ipod and then flickers back and starts over. The sceen seems quite dim also. And I can't get it to reset, restore or to go into disk mode when plugged into the computer.
If I plug it into the wall it just goes to the icon file and the web site view. Then I can get it into disc mode (no other modes though) but when I unplug it from the wall to plug it into the computer it seems to fade a little bit and as soon as I get it plugged into the computer it starts its three page cycle again. So the computer won't recognize it and it won't stop cycling. It is only a few months old so I don't see how it could be the battery.
Any ideas at all??

Hi Tom, thank you for responding. I have had the same problem using 2 computers, one is an HP Compaq nx8220 laptop running Windows XP Professional Version 5.1, the other one is a LG Tablet also running XP Professional. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes on both. The problem originally happened when I was updating the iPod on the LG, I left it charging and when I returned a few hours later the iPod didn't work. I then went through the 5 stepts as per the web site which resulted in the iPod needing to be restored. I hope this helps.
Cheers, Tony

Sound and apple tv

whith my apple tv when i do a screen copy, the sound is on my mac but not on my tv.

Just wondering if anyone ever found a resolution to this issue. I am having same issue on 3 Alawar Entertainment games I just bought from the APP store and trying to run on my MacBook Pro. No sound...!!! Twisted Lands Insomniac, Twisted Lands Shadow Town and Snark Busters Welcome to the Club. Oddly, the sound worked just fine on the first Alawar game I loaded - Twisted Lands Origin.

My g4 running tiger won't startup, got the sound and apple on screen but after that the screen is just blank but not black!

was working fine, today I startup and all seems normal but after the apple logo it just won't start, the screen is just blank.

Hi there,
Does it boot with the Option/alt key held down & show boot choices?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
