HT1338 If there is no sound/music playing, computer starts to make white noise. After sound/music starts, computer pops speakers/headphones. How can I fix this?

If there is no sound/music playing, computer starts to make white noise (unless muted). After sound/music starts, computer pops speakers/headphones (white noise stops). How can I fix this?

Hello Stacey,
What all devices do you have connected?
It sounds like a Ground loop... voltage leaking somewhere.

  • Error message (-51) keeps coming up when I try to send music from iTunes to my iPhone and then the music won't come over.  How can I fix this message?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • The auxillary jack on my Itouch does not allow sound to come through with headphones, though it works in a dock as well as external speakers.  How can I fix this?

    You can try the standard fixes of reset, restore from backup and restore to factory defaults to rule out a hsoftware proble.  Frequently it is to to a problem with the eadphone jack and the solution is to replace the jack.

  • Flash Animations and Movies are lagging after having played a flash game which was graphics intense heavy and frequently refreshed which caused lags, how can I fix this lagging problem for Flash?

    On June 30th, I was playing a game called Lil Einstein's Manhattan project over at Newgrounds.com and the game although fine at first, later on in the advanced levels of the game, started to cause my browser to lag intensely and heavily. Now, when I try and watch other flash movies and animations, the flash doesn't run as smoothly, there are skips in the flash animations and movies, and it slows down.
    I tried scan disks, I tried defragmenting my computer, I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.. Nothing worked to restore the Flash.
    But when I view Flash movies and animations on Internet Explorer, they run fine... but not anymore on Firefox.
    Other Firefox users who have played this game also reported problems as well..
    How can I fix my Firefox Browser and return the Flash running to normal?

    If you have already scanned PC with an updated Anti-Virus and still the issue exists then I would suggest some troubleshooting techniques to resolve this problem:
    Update browser
    Remove unwanted Add-ons
    Remove unwanted Tool-bars
    Repair Registry
    Repair ActiveX objects and shared DLLs
    In case of facebook and Zynga I would suggest to Check for Problems with your Internet Connection.Try to Update Java and Reduce the Number of Running Internet Applications.
    Sometimes Multimedia content lag due to Hardware Acceleration, so disabling Hardware Acceleration should fix your problem.
    Open Flash Video in browser
    Right click on Video Player | Settings
    Open Display Panel
    Uncheck Enable Hardware Acceleration
    If issue still exists then you can find some more techniques described in detail here:

  • CD's not purchased from iTunes but uploaded to iTunes do not show up in the music folder on Apple TV!  How can I fix this?

    CD's purchased from iTunes but uploaded to iTunes do not show up in the music folder on my Apple TV!  How do I fix this?

    You would need to make sure you're accessing the Computers icon. If you are under the Music icon, that will be accessing the cloud and only show iTunes purchases (unless you subscribe to iTunes Match)

  • My iphone thinks I'm using a headphone when I'm not, and no sound comes out of the phone. How can I fix this?

    It works fine in my car (when it's connected to bluetooth). But otherwise, the sound on the phone is dead.
    What can be wrong and how can I fix it?

    Please not that the iPhone uses mono channel for internal speakers, the other path that you see is not the speaker per say. It is the phone microphone. Try using headphones, you will hear both channels. If the problem still persists when using headphones, check your sound balancing in the settings. Go to setting-general-accessibility scroll down and check the slide under mono audio. It should be put at the centre for you to hear both channels ON YOUR HEADPHONES

  • I got a tiny bit of snow in my iPhone 5 speaker it still plays music but it crackles a bit- how can I fix this?

    if its still in warranty will they fix it?
    Your welcome. Dropping it in water or snow is accidental damage which is not covered by the warranty. The moisture indicators are fairly easy to see and vary from place to place depending on the model. On your iPhone 5 it can be viewed by removing the sim tray.

  • After a crash, lots of audiobooks have somehow moved to Music folder, and links are broken - how can I fix this?

    Wow, I'm surprised the forums accepted that long a title.
    Anyway, the computer crashed. I started again, and when opening iTunes after the crash ... something happened. There was a prompt that I idiotically didn't write down (Moving Library? Updating Library?), that kept going for hours, and eventually I just gave up and shut it down. That was probably stupid. Also evidence of significant things happening: the next Time Machine backup was 60GB+, so something big had changed.
    As best I can tell, lots of my Audiobooks (and I've got MANY) now have broken links - when I look in the "iTunes Media" folder, many of the files that were once in the "Audiobooks" folder are now in the "Music" folder instead. All are still in the same subfolder as before: so audiobook files that were in "Audiobooks / BBC Melvyn Bragg" are now in "Music / BBC Melvyn Bragg", for example. So far I've only found Audiobooks that have been messed up in this way. Music and iTunes U and Podcasts seem to be unchanged, but maybe I just haven't noticed those problems yet.
    And obviously I want to fix this.
    Note that my iTunes library is set to "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized". All of the organization is what iTunes has done.
    Option 1: can I just restore from a Time Machine backup? If so, what should I restore? There have been a few changes in the metadata in the 3-4 days since the crash, but I'm not overly concerned with that.
    Option 2: can I just use Finder and move the files back? This would seem the "easiest" option to me. Although lots (hundreds? thousands?) of audiobook files have been moved, they're within only a couple of dozen different folders. Dragging them back into the correct folder would be easy - but what kind of havoc would that wreak on the database system?
    Option 3: go through each track and find the file. I can do this. It'll take hours and hours and hours. I don't want to do this.
    Slightly different question: how can I make a smart playlist of all the files with broken links? (I'm still trying to get a handle on just how big this problem is.) I've found suggestions about (1) making a smart playlist of everything, (2) dragging all of those into a normal playlist, and (3) making a new smart playlist of whatever's in #1 but not in #2, but that doesn't seem to be working for this situation. Is that advice now outdated, or is there something unique to my situation?
    Thanks in advance!

    Following up: I went with Option 2 above, and it seems to have worked quite well. I didn't even need to quit iTunes. After the files were moved, the exclamation marks remained at first, until I played the file, or restarted iTunes - now all seems well, until the next crash anyway.

  • Itunes is showing someone else's library of music in "owner's library".  How can I fix this?

    I have just purchased this laptop and just tried authorizing my itunes account for this mac and syncing it with my iphone.  It didn't sync and loaded someone else's library under "owner's library".  I am not sure what to do about this, I thought maybe it was just combining all my past music libraries, but this definitely is not my music-there are bands I've never heard of and while I know sometimes new pcs come with some free sample songs this is thousands of songs so that's not the case.  Can anybody tell me what might be going on with my library and how to fix it?

    Yeah, ouch .  I can take it in tomorrow, but was really hoping to be done with the set up tonight so I don't have to wait all day at IT tomorrow.  iTunes support says I should call during regular business hours.  So I am just trying to read other postings that might be similar.  I just tried my loading my old ipod and that worked alright, hope it is not just my phone-I love my music on there and then still there's the problem of the "shared" library that I didn't select.

  • I upgraded to iTunes 11 today. I am not able to sync music to my iPad anymore. How do I fix this?

    I upgraded to iTunes 11. But I can't sync music anymore onto my devices. How can I fix this? I need help!

    I did not upgrade to the newest version of Itunes on my PC.  I just now went to my Library were Music is listed. Under that is Movies, TV Shows, ItunesU, etc.  When I opened my music list, each song was in numerical order.   If I have the songs listed alphabetically, they are in numerical order.  If I change my listing to album or whatever, the first song is listed in numerical order just as I showed in my original question.  They are also numbered on my Playlists.  I have my favorites in two different playlists.  One of them was minus a song.  I was able to see which one was missing because they were in numerical order.  I know I could have just copied to correct one into the incorrect one and just skipped the duplicates, but I chose to do it this way.
    So, the songs are listed numerically in my music folder under Library on my older version of Itunes.  But, on my newer version, they are not listed numerically under music.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong?????
    Thanks so much for your help.  I wish they would just leave things alone.  I would gladly go back to the older version on my other computer, but???? 
    Again thanks.

  • I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?

    I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?

    When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app?  Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category.  If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes.  To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again. 
    I hope this helps!

  • I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

    I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

    Skipping songs
    The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
    If you use Windows you may like to try scanning the files with MP3Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
    Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/control clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags> None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
    Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g.convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

  • Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this?

    Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this? This isn't the first time something like this has happened but it has never stayed this way for such a long time. If I have to send it in for repairs I will but I'm not sure if its under warranty

    To check for warranty coverage:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. 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 iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for theother 4Gs. They do not fix yours.
