Ever notice the audio jack on the CDROM never works

It is such a big tease.

Allthough on some keyboards it's replaced with the
"any" key. That makes sence.Ah yes, the "any" key. I used to have some fun with that. I would install software while the proud owner was looking over my shoulder. At some point it would prompt me to "Press any key to continue". I would then press the Shift key, and nothing would happen. "Why doesn't it work?" I would ask the owner.

ITunes says it needs to upgrade but the download never works. What's wrong?

One day I got on iTunes to put some music on my iPod Nano (one of the older versions), and always before when I plugged it in and came up and said it was plugged in, but then it didn't recognize it! This went on for several months, me never being able to put more music on my iPod.
Finally I got the newest Nano for my birthday and I figured it'd work, but the same problem is going on! I've had the brand new iPod for 3 months and it doesn't have ANY music on it!
It does come up and ask if I want to download a newer version of iTunes, that it needs that one to work right (version 8.2 something I think). I go to download it, it takes a while, and then comes up and says the download was unsuccessful, I've tried about 30 times, and it never works.
What is going on?

Instead of trying to update iTunes +from within iTunes+, go to Apple's page where you can download the iTunes 8.2.1 installation file -- save the file, don't run it direct from the download. Once downloaded to your computer, then run the installation file.
If that does not fix the problem, then remove the following software from your computer (you won't lose your music): iTunes, Quicktime, and something called "Apple Mobile Device Services". Once you remove those programs, then run the iTunes installer file (from above) again. That will install all three of these programs and should fix your problem.

The update never works i always have to install the new version

the update will start and when finish error massage appear to say update were not successful and click ok to download the new version

Hi mohad2,
Have you looked at the [[Software Update Failed]] Knowledge Base article? There is some good troubleshooting info in there that might get to the root of your issue.
Hopefully this helps!

Audio jack and internal speakers not working!

So my internal speakers no onger work and when I put in my Apple iPhone earphones there is a high pitched sound and they become very hot to the touch. This happened when they were in my ear, not cool. I love my computer and I would hate to give it up for a German keyboard (I bought my computer in NYC and now I live in Switzerland) or not having it for an extended period of time. Comments? Suggestions? Help? Scheisse!

hi neuroanatomist,
thx for your suggestion
I read about it, but it doesn't really work for me (or maybe I wasn't able to have it work)
So there is no actual fix to this?

I took my Pavilion dv6000 apart and now the sound isnt working

So here is the situation...
My fan has been making noise so I wanted to clean out all the dust from inside my Pavilion dv6000. (But that isn't what i need help with right now.) So after I took it all apart and put it back together, I had this problem with turning the computer on. I think it had to do with this little ribbon cable that wasn't going in the spot where it had to be (it was connected to the power button chip.) I finally got that ribbon where it was suppose to be, and tried to turn it on. It still didnt start. The battery light would go on when it was plugged in, but nothing happened when I pushed the power button. I finally decided to give up and clean the finger prints off of it so I could bring it to my IT teacher tomorrow. While cleaning it, it all of a sudden turned on. I dont know what happened. It just turned on by itself. I mean, I could have pushed something while cleaning it, or maybe something was loose and tightened while i was cleaning it. But anyway, I finally got it to turn on. Now while doing homework, I notice the sound isnt working. I really dont want to take it apart if i dont have to becuase this is the last week of school and I need these practice tests that I put on my computer. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to possibly fix my audio without taking it apart. I was thinking if i check for the latest driver maybe that would help, but i have the latest driver and the sound still doesnt work. So does anyone know how I can fix this without taking it apart? If not does anyone know how I can fix it if i do take it apart? (for example, things to check to make sure they are connected or tightened?)
Thanks for your time and help, I really appreciate it.

Why am I being billed for equipment that never worked from the get go, and that your representatives admitted never connected to the computer on your end?

In September my husband and I were planning a cross country move and we thought that having a Jet Pack to go on line with while we were traveling would be a good idea. When we ordered it we told the representative that we did not need it until the 1st of Oct. as that was when we would be leaving. It arrived on our door on Sept 9th with the instructions to be sure and activate it within 2 weeks or we would lose the line. On the 19th we called in the activation and everything appeared fine. We hit the road on the 1st and Nothing, Na-Da, Zip, Zilch .... The equipment never worked from the get go! We called Verizon from the road on the 4th of Oct. to find out what was going on and the representative told us that the problem was with the computer on Verizon's end. We shut the equipment off for the rest of our trip and called for a refund on the 13th of Oct. We spoke to a representative named Juan, who again confirmed that it was Verizon's computer that had been the problem, and we were assured that all fee's associated with the Jet Pack would be waived as the equipment never worked in the 1st place. He told us all we needed to do was return the broken equipment and that he would send us a return label. We received the return label and sent the equipment back on the 22nd of Oct. On our next bill no credits of any kind had been applied? We promptly picked up the phone and called Verizon again, on Oct 31st, to find out what was going on? This time we spoke to Lou Ann. After about an hour and a half she finally managed to remove the fee's, or so we thought, and we hung up satisfied. On 11/5 our Nov. bill arrived again with no credits of any kind. We thought maybe the billing cycle hadn't had time to catch up with our most recent conversation so we called just to verify. This time we spoke to Moncheria. She did not understand what had happened and had to reenter the same refund that Lou Ann had earlier. Again another hour and a half on the phone. Today,11/28, we received our most recent bill and again no credits of any kind??? We picked up the phone and called again. This time we explained to Christian, (the above story), and she put us on the phone with her supervisor Carson. Carson proceeded to tell us that ALL of the previous representatives we had spoken to were wrong and that since we had not returned the equipment within 14 days of receiving it that we were beyond the limits of the refund policy, (which means we would have had to return it before we left on our trip), and the best she could do was offer us coupons for the future to offset THEIR mistake! No thank you I will keep my cash in my pocket!
1st of all we ordered it for the 1st of Oct. not for 9th of Sept.
Secondly we were told to be sure and activate it within 14 days or we would lose the line, never any mention of a refund time limit. (Who buys stuff anticipating an immediate refund?)
And 3d THE EQUIPMENT NEVER WORKED IN THE 1ST PLACE!!
Now Verizon is asking for $343.34 in fee's for something that never worked in the 1st place!! This is ridiculous and those fee's are defiantly under dispute! The way I see it trying to hold me to a contract that Verizon breached by sending out faulty equipment is just wrong!

TS1398 my ipad is connected to my wi-fi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet nev    er works and it is always loading. i dont understand as it is a brand new ipad.

my ipad is connected to my wifi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet never works and it is always loading but never working. I dont understand why as my computer works for my wifi and my brand new ipad should too.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I want to use my computer as speakers for my mp3 without copying all of the music onto the computer. I can get the audio jack working as an input, but how do i get the computer to play that?

I have a macbook pro and want to use it like external speakers. I have the audio imput registering from the audio jack, but cant get it to play anything. any ideas??

Hi,
If your MP3 player is an iPod, iPhone Just plug it into your computer, open iTunesand the devices section you'll see. Select the song you want to listen and ready, use it as your computer speakers
Best Regards

I have an airport extreme which doesn't come with a straight audio jack on it like the express. Can I get a converter to go from the dual speaker plugs to usb on the extreme?

Sorry, but no. The only Apple router with an audio output jack is the AirPort Express.

TS2289 Ever since the new update in iMovie all my audio seems to be there ,but when I get in the middle of the video the audio is off. Help?

Ever since the new update in iMovie all my audio seems to be there ,but when I get in the middle of the video the audio is off. Help?

I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply.

Is anyone having a problem with the audio jack?

My phone audio jack is not working. When connecting, the sound only comes out of phone not device cord is connected to like car stereo. Please help. I rebooted, checked settings to no luck.

I was very disappointed to discover that the link provided by Verizon Customer Support above does not take you directly to information on how to do a "master resetting your device" as prescribed. So I gave up on that option and I am glad I did.
Motorola's support recommends cleaning lint out of the headphone jack.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/85247/p/30%2C6720%2C8417/kw/lint/session/L3RpbWUvMTM2Mjc3MTM1OS9zaWQvNUpPRS1Ga2w%3D
Turning it off and cleaning out the headphone jack worked for me.

After attaching the headset to the audio jack, i get sound from the laptop speaker

after attaching the headset to the audio jack, i get sound from the laptop speaker

This worked for me as well. Great find! I have gigabyte ep45-ud3r motherboard and I was getting all sound through external speakers except itunes was playing the sound out of the digital output instead of the speakers. I could see this when I went to control panel > hardware & sound > manage audio devices. I did the repair as described above and now I have sound in iTunes.

Audio jack from laptop outputting louder sound on the Right

My laptop which is an HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC with Windows 8.1has been outputting louder sound from the audio jack louder on the right earpud/headphone side than the left (or the left side is softer than the right). The sound outputs normally from the build in speakers though.
The speaker properties on it has both sides balanced on the volume output. I have tried resetting the BIOS and deleting the sound card drivers from Device Manager in the Control Panel. Also I've tried deleting the driver, redownload a new one, turning off the laptop, take out the battery and drain the power, then start pressing Esc...F10...F5...and so on steps (for the people that will tell me to do this).
Is there any other solution (besides resetting the laptop completely)?

Hello @danielmc4102 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is an excellent place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I see that when you connect your headphones that the audio is unbalanced, but when you are using the internal speakers it is fine.
When you connect your headphones have you gone into hardware and sound and configured the headset?
Here is a link to HP PCs - Resolving headphones and headset problems (Windows 8).
Have you tried different headsets or this headset in another computer and is the issue the same?
You can contact HP support at any time for further assistance. They can remotely access your system to aid in overcoming difficulties.
