  • I pod has no sound without headphones. when i push the volume keys it says headphones even though they are not plugged in

    My iPod has no sound unless headphones are plugged in. When i push the volume keys it says headphones

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • HT5278 i did this update and now the volume on my phone doesn't appear when i push the buttons on the side of the phone. occasionally i see them, but my speakers won't work for playing videos or music either. it does ring when i receive a call though! ne1

    i did the ios5.1.1 update and now the volume on my phone doesn't appear when i push the buttons on the side of the phone. occasionally i see them, but my speakers won't work for playing videos or music either. it does ring when i receive a call though, and for my alarm. ne1 else had these problems?

    I have had this happen to me on 3GS, 4 and 4s.   Usually the solution is one of the following:
    1-  If  your volume indicator says  headphones even though they are not plugged in, then:
    Stick your headphones into the headphone jack and then remove quickly.
    2. If that does not work Power your phone off. Then when restarting Reset the phone by pressing the home button and the power button at the same time until the apple logo appears.
    3. Make sure you have not chosen to send audio to an Airplay device such as Apple Tv.
    Hope one of these works for you

  • What is the default key command for the COMMAND key?I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key it hides all windows or shows desk top I need to correct this as soon as possible-.any ideas?

    What is the default key command for THE COMMAND (apple) key? I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key (only) it hides all open windows and shows the desk top and when I push it again it shows all windows again...I need to return to default A.S.A.P. just this one key...Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

    Go to
     > System Preferences > Keyboard
    Click on the 'Keyboard' tab and hit the 'modifier keys...' button. You can see and change the defaults there.
    As I'm not sure if all the labels are the same in Lion, he's a screenshot from Snow Leopard. It should be similar enough:

  • Why my Startup Manager does not appear when I hold the Option key when starting to boot.

    I no longer have the Startup Manager appearing when I hold the Option key when starting to boot.
    Instead, the system just boots into whichever OS was last selected in the Startup Disk Preference.
    How to get back my Startup Manager so that I can boot up from my external hard disk.
    Thank you.

    Can you please run the following in terminal and post the output in your reply:
    diskutil list; echo; nvram -p | grep boot-args; echo

    Hi antdagreat601,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you haven't already, I'd first try restarting or resetting your iPhone:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your device
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If the volume icon doesn't go away, see our iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant for more help:

    So in the last few days I’ve noticed that pressing my volume change keys actually isn’t changing the volume on my macbook pro at all. When I press the volume up or down keys, it makes the recognisable pop sound but stays at the same volume while the squares go up or down. I mute it but my computer still makes sound. It’s the same with the volume control up the top of the screen, too. I slide it up and down and it doesn’t change the volume at all. The only way I can change the volume is with my speakers or the program I’m in (iTunes, VLC etc). I restarted and it seems to be okay then I go to change it a couple minutes later and it’s back to not working again.
    I’ve checked my settings- the “use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard fuction keys” is not switched on, and I have tried a suggestion of moving the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file out of the library and onto the desktop and restarting and neither of those seem to make any difference whatsoever. I’ve tried to find online forums but the only suggestions I found were those two and they didn’t work.
    I’m just annoyed because I usually have the worst luck with technology but my macbook had been going strong and I got it because of the apparent lack of things that could go wrong, but of course even if there is one thing that could go wrong it will happen to me.
    Please help!

    You migh give resetting your NVRAM a try:

  • Small black squares appear/disappear when I used the down key

    Small black squares appear/disappear when I used the down key-particulary when on FB, but also at other times

    No, there is no yellow star on any of the entries. Each entry has the site's (or company's) logo, as well as the name of the site and URL. There is nothing more in each entry.

  • How can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear

    how can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear?

    Hi-
    This worked!. After updating to 7.0.6 a few days ago I was unable to delete apps. Called Apple support for help without success. I have NEVER entered a passcode to get in to restrictions so I know I didn't make this change (so I'm assuming that 7.0.6 did it for me). Apple wanted me to restore my iphone but thought I'd do more research first. Your advice solved the problem. THANKS!

    Final Cut Express was discontinued about 18 months ago, before the release of Lion (10.7).  It is no longer a supported product and was never supported on Lion, nor on Mountain Lion.
    While some FCE users have had success running FCE on Lion, many have reported problems including problems with chroma keying.   I do not recall any solution to the chroma keying problem, but you might try searching this Forum to see what others have discovered or tried.
    Final Cut Pro X is the app supported on Lion & Mountain Lion, and the future direction Apple has taken.  Since your computer lab has already moved to Lion (10.7.5) and presumably will move to Mountain Lion in the future, you should begin the process of moving to Final Cut Pro X.  I appreciate there are implications for cost, training, inconvenience and re-doing lesson plans.  But technology moves on and at some point we need to move with it too.

  • Hi I'm new to Mac. I have a macbook air and for some reason the top keys, ec, f1 etc etc are not functioning and emitt the non function noise when pressed. Also the volume keys don't adjust the volume. Have I done something to disable them?

    Hi I'm new to Mac. I have a macbook air and for some reason the top keys, ec, f1 etc etc are not functioning and emitt the non function noise when pressed. Also the volume keys don't adjust the volume. Have I done something to disable them?

    I don't have the same version of OS X here but try System Preferences>Keyboard. Is there an option similar to "Use the F1, etc, keys as standard function keys"?
    If so, and it has a checkmark, uncheck it & see if that does the trick.
