Headphones making a cracking noise. Headphones are not broken, it was all working fine but all of a sudden the cracking noise has developed. Please help!
Can someone please help. My headphones are in full working order and I have had no issue using them to listen to music or watch movies on my MBP. However since yesterday there is an awful cracking sound when they are inserted in to the jack port. Music plays fine through MBP but not when headphones are inserted. There is plenty of examples of this happening on the internet but there does not seem to be a lot of advice on how to rectify this problem. I would be very grateful if someone could help.

I've got songs on my iPad that are not on my iPhone which I want but for some reason they won't go on over Icloud, help!?
perfect. ok do the following:
settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go into the exchange account. You should have an email in the account field...[email protected] or [email protected], etc.... I am assuming you don't remember the password to this exchange account so once you know the email, you can go to email providers site and click on forgot password and you will go through the steps to get a new password. Once you do this, you will need to go back into your "exchange account " and the field that has the exchange email > touch the > to open settings. Change the password to your new password you got from above. Once you do this, you can add the exchange account to your ipad and all of your contacts will sync to both devices.
Please confirm. -

Ipod(s) are not syncing with itunes all of a sudden
WARNING, this is going to be very long-winded. So I've exhausted every avenue I can think of myself, so I figured I'd try just asking on the forum here and hopefully someone can suggest a solution. First, the specs of the equipment/software involved:
Windows 7 64 bit O.S. on my pc
Itunes 10.3.1.55
Ipod touch 4thGen 64GB
Ipod Nano 4thGen 8GB
So a couple days ago, I tried syncing my ipod touch to my pc, and it wasn't recognized by itunes, it wasn't even recognized by Windows as an ipod. It doesn't even charge the ipod or light up the screen. All that happens when I plug it into the sync cable is that after about 10-15 seconds I get a windows error saying "USB device not recognized" Under windows device manager, in the USB devices section, when the ipod(s) are connected it shows an unknown device connected to the port, but when I right click and look at the details for the unknown device, it gives no indication whatsoever that it is an apple device, doesn't say anything about AppleMobileDevice, or anything like that, just everything about it is unknown as far as windows is concerned. The catch is, my ipod Nano is getting the exact same result, so if it's a hardware issure with the ipod itself, it struck both my ipods at the exact same time. So I went to work investigating and troubleshooting. After reading through the troubleshooting guides on apples website, some exhaustive google searches, consulting with a few people I know who work in I.T. troubleshooting, and reading through this forum for several hours looking for related issues, here is what I've tried:
1. My pc has 6 usb ports, I've tried using both cables (I have the syncing cables that came with each Ipod) with each Ipod in each USB port.
2. I've tried resetting both Ipods
3. I've uninstalled all apple software from my pc, rebooted, reinstalled.
4. I repeated step 3 but tried installing an older version of itunes (one that I know worked).
5. I tried every step I could find suggested by Itunes on the apple support website: Tried manually uninstalling/reinstalling the driver to the usb device, tried uninstalling the device driver while it was connected and rebooted (leaving it connected) hoping that windows would automatically install the right driver at startup.
6. Suspecting it may have been virus related, I've run exhaustive searches for malware/viruses with several different antivirus/antimalware/antirootkit programs using them in and out of windows safemode.
7. I did a windows system restore to a restore point back over a week ago, well before I started having issues.
8. I emailed apple support and explained the problem in detail, the sent me a link to the "applecare express service". That was extremely helpful...
9. I took my ipod touch, and both my syncing cables over to a friends house and did the following: Tried syncing it with his pc, he has the same exact version of windows and itunes as me, and it worked fine. It synced immediately and recognized the device without any problem whatsoever. While I had it synced to his pc, I master reset it back to factory settings, took it home and tried syncing it to my pc again to no avail.
10. I tried very politey asking it to please sync with my pc.
11. I plugged it into my stereo which has a built in ipod dock, and it works fine with that device, charges, plays music off the ipod.
I'm willing to consider buying one of the "pay-per-incident" help feature service things from Apple Express lane, if I thought it would help at all.
So, to anyone who was patient enough to read through all of that, any suggestions as to what the problem might be? I'm still assuming at this point that it has to be something software related, I just have no idea what, and can't think of a single thing that changed on my pc from when I synced it on tuesday morning, to when I tried to sync it on wednesday morning and this all started.FIXED!
Follow up for anyone who reads this post and has encountered the same/roughly the same type of error. To recap basically what happened was one day Itunes on my pc with win7 64bit was working fine and syncing up with both my ipods (ipod touch and ipod nano) and the next day it wasn't working at all. What happened was when I tried to sync either device with my pc, not only did the proper drivers not install/function, but they wouldn't even charge. Well I spent some long hours trying to figure what was going on, wound up going so far as to format my hard drive (i had my data backed up first!) and do a clean install of windows 7, and even that still didn't fix it. In my frustration I decided to try to plug in some other USB devices I had lying around but hadn't used in awhile, (microsoft HD webcam, and a flash memory storage drive) and discovered I got the same exact error/symptoms with those devices, i.e. drivers failed to install in Win7. So now I realized that whatever was going on was beyond just itunes/ipods, and something was wrong on a systematic level. Basically, certain USB devices were functioning perfectly fine (mouse, keyboard, x360 controller) while others (ipods, webcam, flash drive) weren't functioning at all.
So what was the solution? Someone suggested trying adding a stand alone USB add on card. For those that don't know, it's a card you can plug into an available slot in your motherboard and it adds USB ports to a pc that otherwise doesn't have any, or adds extra ports to your current setup. I picked up a card at best buy for $20 that plugged into an available PCI slot, gave me two new available USB ports. (set-up is VERY easy for these cards, there is no set-up really, you just plug the card in and turn the pc back on)
VOILA!, after installing the new USB card, I opened Itunes, plugged in my ipod touch, and it synced up right away, I was so relieved. I still have no idea what caused the USB device/driver issues, or why adding the extra card worked, but it was a cheap and easy solution, and hopefully if anyone else encounters a similar "unsolveable" problem, this might help them. -
I own a PC and itunes store was running fine on it... up until i downloaded the new version and then it quit working it would load about half way and then quit and turn the store home page white i have tried a few different things including re installing, trying to fix it, but nothing has worked!
this has happened to me once before on an older computer and i could never get it back working then either and it has also happened to another person i know and they also have tried to fix it! i am very fusterated with itunes/apple for not fixing this issue becuase it has happened to many others as well!!
any help would be greatly appreciated!
THANKS!!!I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

HT201210 My imac says my idevices are not eligible for restore. Works fine on my macbook air
I plug my ipad, iphone or ipod touch into my imac and try to restore or upgrade. This has been tried with ios7, 6.14 and 6.13. My imac always says that my device is not eligble for the software. I move the device and the cable to my macbook air and can restore, upgrade or do anything else I want with the ios software. Move it back to the imac and I get the same error message. I have NEVER been able to restore or upgrade my devices on my imac since I got it in Janaury but can do it all day long on my macbook air. Both are running mountain lion and the latest version of itunes.
I need to be really sarcastic here. Duh..really? Wow, that is such an amazing response.
Of course I have tried that. I have had this problem since January. If you read my post, I have the latest OSX and the latest itunes which it says in that link.
If anyone wants to help with some real information, I will listen. posting a vague and unhelpful apple link does nothing. -

How can I change this? This isn't the first time this has happened and I have never showed anyone my password.
A login password for the computer is not the password used for your Apple ID. To change a forgotten or lost password:

Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

Is there a way to run a diagnostic at startup?
Your alt (aka opt or ⌥) key is stuck down. This seems to be quite common these days.
Try teasing it up with the corners of two credit cards or similar flexible, non-conducting tools.
If that doesn't work, the wafer switch underneath may be damaged, in which case it'll need to go in for service. -
basically it's been a problem for a while now my sennheiser headphones are not clicking in correctly and are popping out at every movement causing it to pause my music, (very annoying) but it works fine if i hold it in, but can't do this all the time.I dom't know what the problem is or how i can fix.
any help would be greatly recieved

PDIf it happens with another set of headphones then the headphone jack in the iPod needs replacing. Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

A third-party place like this one is less expensive. Google for more.

Internal speakers and headphones are not working
I have hp g6 2231tx os Windows 8, brought it a month ago..now it's internal speakers and headphones are not working..I enabled in playback device from sound mixer and reinstalled drivers but still not working..it's because of hardware or software??
Hi,
It could be either Hardware or Software related, so try the following and let me know.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58501-59000/sp58517.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
Regards,
DP-K
