My ipod isent charging and my sound insn'et working in the jack hole there are wires sticking out but they are tiny what do i do?

First of all, you are fortunate that everything works. Secondly, I agree that rice may be the culprit in the charging port. However there is a chance that your trying to fix it could actually harm the port and cost you, so I suggest you first get under a bright light and use a magnifying glass to see exactly what and where the obstruction is. Attempting to connect the charging cable has probably already forced the obstructing substance further down into the port. Obviously the port is small and will require some kind of tool to help you remove whatever is in there. I suggest a plastic toothpick that is not likely to break and shouldn't do damage to the contacts. Tweezers may be useful but if utilized be very cautious not to scrape anything if at all possible.

How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was broken. I bought a new one but now it won't charge. I have a BATTERY bar in the middle of the screen that is flashing RED and I have a symbol on the bottom that looks like a charger.

How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was damaged so I bought a new one but it won't charge. On my Ipad, I have a BATTERY bar in the middle that is flashing RED and an icon on the bottom that looks like the end of a charger. I have tried to force into reset mode, by holding the sleep key and home button SEVERAL times but it does NOT work. I have plugged my Ipad into my desktop computer, but I do not have a screen on my desktop that is coming up. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AFTER I DID AN UPDATE AND WAS LOCKED OUT AND I USED EITHER ICLOUD OR ITUNES TO RESTORE, NOT SURE WHICH AND I FORGOT HOW.

Hi MrsMoosie,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If your iPad isn't responding or doesn't appear to be charging, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, in particular the following portion:
If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check your connector, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.

Ringtones and Message Sounds not working all the time

Call sounds & message alert sounds don't always work on iPhone 6.
When I check settings etc, it should all be fine. And it's not on silent.
I've tried resetting.
Anyone else have this issue?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

Ipod not recognized and Restore doesn't work

i have an ipod classic 160 GB, with disk mode enabled. When i connect it to the mac mini, it calls up iTunes. but then the message comes up that ipod can't be recognized. So i have restored it (using the latest updates, by connecting to the net) and then synced. During ejecting the ipod too, the proper procedure has been followed. However, at the end of all of it (i have 10000+ items in iTunes and it takes a LOOONG time to sync), when i try to use the disconnected ipod, it shows 'No Music', 'No Playlists', no this, no that...
I have also gone thru some other posts in this forum which suggested methods (such as getting ipod into disk mode and then connecting, trashing ipod software updates and reinstalling), to try to rectify the problem but there has been no difference And BTW, now i check, ipod shows 92 GB free (of the 160 GB). so what been copied, and where is it? or is the flash drive corrupted?
Pls HELP, as I need the ipod and my music
BTW, I think that this problem has become more pronounced since I installed the latest iTunes update (7.6.1)

Try this...
*Checking hard-drive for errors*
Hold Menu+Select on the iPod for about 6 seconds until it resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Connect to your computer, closing iTunes if it opens. Run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the iPod. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold Menu+Select ) and should stand a better chance of a successful restore.
Once you've restored your iPod don't rush to dump all the data back exactly as it was before. Complex smart playlists can sometimes trigger constant reboots or dumping of the iPod's library. In addition, larger transfers can fail leaving data in an inconsistent state. Try this technique for populating the iPod in stages.
*Break up large transfers*
In iTunes select the menu item *File... New Smart Playlist*. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music. Tick against *Limit to*, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OK you can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer. Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule ( *File... Edit playlist* ) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos etc.

To download/install an app directly to the iPod you need available storage equal to about three times the file download size. Syncing the app to the iPod requires a lot less. Thus you either have to free up more storage or sync the app from your computer.

The iPod 3g will only support iOS up to 4.2.1 and nothing beyond that.

lock and keyboard sounds not working? what's up with that?

Im having the same problem. Just stopped working yesterday two days after i bought it!!!!

Keyboard and game sounds not working

The keyboard used to vibrate and make sounds when I hit the keys and my games used to have sound but it seems to have stopped working. I checked settings and all are turned on.

If your MacBook is one that has an easily removeable battery, try the following -
Shut down the MacBook.
Remove the battery and inspect it for any signs of expansion. If any are found, replace it.
Connect the MacBook to the power adapter, but do not put the battery back in.
Start up the MacBook.
Test for trackpad and keyboard functionality. If the functionality returns to normal without the battery in it, replace the battery.
Apple sells replacement batteries for about $129. Be sure you get the right one for your model. Other users have reported being able to purchase batteries through eBay for about $20-30.
Best of luck.
