HT4993 Volumn on my i4s suddenly cuts out.

One moment the sound will be fine, the next no volume during pod cast, music, can't hear phone ring, can't hear text message notification. Pressing side button to increase volume does not help, in fact the volume bars do not even appear. I did not drop my phone, I did not change the settings prior to this problem appearing. I was listening to a pod cast and suddenly I could hear nothing. I could not adjust the volume because the volume control on touch screen would not appear. The same problem occurs when trying to play music, when I open an app (no background music in app is heard). I use to be able to hear "clicking" when typing text, I can't even hear the "clicking". I've had my 4s for 5 months and prior to today, I have never had this problem and the phone was working perfect until a few hours ago. Also, for a split second the volume will begin working then suddenly cut off again, come back on and then cut back off. Seri works just fine, I can hear her when she speaks dispite of the problem I am having.

Try Resetting the PRAM
If that doesn't help, take your Mac to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair shop. Sounds like it needs a new PRAM battery.
Usually a fairly easy and inexpensive fix.

No broadband for days after suddenly cutting out l...

Hi all,
I'm hoping you can help me with a very frustrating issue I am facing. On Friday 13th Jan, at 1pm and without warning, my BT broadband connection died and has not yet come back (so 4 days and counting).
I am an IT technician by trade and normally I am able to resolve any issues with these things myself. However, this time I exhausted all options (filters, lines, different router etc) and had to call BT's (not very good) offshore call centre, who use their wonderful training to read through a script asking me if the power is on
Anyway, long story short, my Fault was logged but nothing done. So I called back on Saturday, same script (even though I've been through it already...) and at the end of the call he says he'll escalate and next level support will call me on Sunday morning - apparently he had booked me in for a callback between 9 - 11am. And you can guess what happened - nothing, no phone call, nada.
So again I have to call the wonderful offshore call centre and go through the bl**dy script AGAIN. I've done it I tell him, but "Sorry Sir I must check these few things" **bleep** it. I'm losing my rag here and i am a very calm person by nature.
They have no idea what's wrong with my broadband. I tell them it was working on Friday 1pm then it suddenly cut out. Days later it's still not back, so there is a problem and I know it's not in my house.
My friends down the street have broadband with Zen and Plusnet and their connection is fine. So all otehr ISPs are working OK in our area.
My neighbour is with BT Broadband, like me, and his connection is also dead!
So the problem is not in my house! Even then they're sending an engineer down ...I expect he won't turn up though, but even if he does I can't imagine what he'll do in my house, because I'm fairly certain the problem is not there.
No communication to tell us what's wrong, or that BT are aware of the problem and working on it and will have my broadband back on x date etc. No record of it on BT's Service Status page or on 0800 169 0199. I can't believe how poor their service is. When I moved to BT I thought I was paying more for a better service, for a one-stop-shop that wouldn't let me down. I wish I'd done my research properly!
What can I do to get my broadband back?
Can I cancel my contract mid-term and move to another ISP which is working in my area?
Please help, I'm so **bleep** stressed over this as it's preventing my wife and I from being able to work at home.
Just for information, I'm in post code area TW19.

My iPod had full charge and suddenly cut out, now it wont turn on, iTunes wont connect either, any advice?

Hey everyone, right, i was recently using my iPod touch 4th gen (which had been on charge for about 5 hours), i took a quick 2 minute break and got back to find the screen blank, now the iPod wont turn on. I have tried connecting it to iTunes but it doesnt even connect. I havent got any jailbreaking software on there although i havent updated the software in a while. Any advice?

- See if resetting the iPod will eithr bring it to life or asllow itunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod via iTunes
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow it to be restored.. For recovry mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last, make an appontment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

Powerbook G4 15inch Cuts Out

Help please
My trusty Powerbook G4 suddenly cuts out. When I power on again I get a small widow saying computer
clock is set to a date before March 24 2001 This may cause some applications to behave erratically.
The clock is displaying the correct time and date so I do not understand what I should do.
Can anyone help me
Thank you.

You may have your computer set to correct the time and date via your internet connection, so the error message may still be correct - it's just fixing the time after giving the message. If so, it usually means your PRAM battery is dead, which is a small rechargeable battery (not the main battery) that retains the time and date when you change main batteries. Sometimes, you can recharge the PRAM battery by leaving the AC power connected for several days. If not, it needs to be replaced.
The "sudden cutting out" is too vague to offer much advice. Is this while running on AC or battery power?

Music cuts out while surfing the Internet

While listening to music and surfing the web using wifi or edge, the music will suddenly cut out. I have to start all over and find the song I was listening to. It usually happens when I move to a new page. It happens on all kinds of websites, even this one.
How do I get this to stop?
Message was edited by: Jeffrey Jerome

I have never experienced this as you have described. I have been podding and browsing and had the music fade out for a phone call, email, or text... but it always fades back in where it left off.
My suggestion is to do a reset by holding the home button and sleep/wake button until you see the Apple logo.. if that doesn't resolve the issue then try a restore from iTunes
If you are still having the same problem after that give 1-800-myiphone a call, or make an appt at your local genius bar.
Good luck

WRT54G v6 router cuts out

WRT54G v6 router suddenly cuts out several times each day, using it with wired connection on two computers. No problem when direct wired to the modem. Is this router failing? How to fix it?
Frank M.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Before taking a sledgehammer to it *smile*, I'd suggest resetting it to factory defaults (press the recessed "reset" button for about 30 seconds, and then release it), and then also power cycle it (pull the power cord for about 30 seconds, and then plug the power cord back in). You'll have to log into the web GUI and re-enter your settings after this, since resetting the router will have changed all settings back to factory defaults. But this may well help your router get back on track.
If this doesn't help, hold the sledgehammer for the moment, and report your results back here, please.

I use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

i use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

Sudden Power Cut Out on iMac G5

Hello team,
My iMac G5 (1st gen, 20") just did something odd -- while I was checking my e-mail, its power just cut out suddenly and the machine went dark. I was able to restart it just fine, but obviously something's amiss here. I checked to make sure the power strip I've got it plugged into wasn't loose (it wasn't) and that all the other connections were fine (they were), and now I'm turning to you for suggestions/ideas. This has happened once before a while back, but I didn't worry about it at first because that was the only time. However, now that it's done the exact same thing again, I figure it's time to do a bit of investigating. Might this be a symptom of the power issues that some first generation iMac G5s have experienced? Or perhaps something else? Thanks very much in advance for your input on this!
Electronically yours,
Erik
20" iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Yep, just one of the tricks the first generation iMac G5s like to pull. Mine did same thing before I finally had it replaced a year , and 5 major repairs after I got it. What was failing on mine when it turned itself off randomly was the Motherboard having been fried from extreme heat. ( So Applecare folks told me.)
The main prob with both the Rev A and B iMac G5s was and is that they generate more heat than they can dissapate. Its been corrected on Rev C and Intel iMacs since they COMPLETELY redid the internal placement of everything on them and even added a much needed vent right behind where the hard drive sits(Behind the arm) and next to where the fans can draw in more cool air from outside the machine. Anyway, what youre experiencing unfortuneatly isnt isolated for most of us ex or current Rev A iMac G5 owners. Very common and if youre able to , get out from under the computer if you can. They are highly flawed imo.The fact that they redid it so much tells me anyway that it was flawed. The Rev Cs are perfect and everything the A and Bs were not. Cool running, stable, quiet, and add all the extras like HD space, Vram, extra and faster ram, and the iSight, for me, made all the agrivated trips to the Apple store worth it. Even though it was and is over 50 miles from my home.
Good luck, let us know what you find out is happening. And seriously, do yourself a favour, if you can have it replaced.

Blackberry cuts out suddenly

Hello
My BB has developed a habit of cutting out suddenly while I am on the phone. The line goes dead without warning and the screen goes black and the BB won't start again. It seems to be low on power because when I recharge the battery it works again. However, even though fully recharged it happens again. I have tried taking out the battery and restarting. Is it possible my battery is just faulty or is there another possible explanation before I go buy another battery. Thanks for any help.

Which BlackBerry device are you using? Is it a new device? It seems that you battery has been drained out. This is usual for a new battery. You can consider changing the device battery. In case of new device claim for warranty.

Sudden power cut out when battery is not fully depleted?

My MacBook Pro is misbehaving - when running on battery it will spontaneously cut out as if someone has yanked the battery out - no warning. Its doing this seemingly unrelated to how much power is left, and gives no warning messages at all. Any ideas?

Your battery may need calibration. (The battery may be empty before it is recognized as being empty.) Try this:

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates?

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates? All of a sudden without changing any settings, the audio on my NEW ipad cuts in and out on applications/ games, keypad noise and lock sounds. The rocker button only seems to work while the sound is intermittently being heard before, after a few seconds of noise not doing anything when sound goes off.
This is highly frustrating as I've noticed others posting about such issues as far back as April. Anybody had the same thing happen to them? Is this likely software (ios6) or hardware issue? What are the solutions Apple???

Apple has no physical stores of their own in Dubai, so unless you mean that you purchased from the online Apple Store for the UAE, you purchased from a dealer, who may or may not have been authorized. You can check the expiration date of the warranty on your iPad yourself by entering in the serial number here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
If it does indeed show the warranty has expired, then what you need to do from here will depend on who you purchased the iPad from and when you really did purchase it. Perhaps you actually purchased it in August and are just misremembering? Check your receipt. If you confirm that you did purchase within the last calendar year, tell us exactly where you got it and we can probably offer advice.
Regards.

When using full volume on my iphone 4s the sounds cuts out but if I blow air into the speaker it comes back on is this a hardware issue or a software issue?

Just recently my iphone 4s speakers started acting up. I have restored it twice once to a back up and the other time as a new phone. The speakers get really staticy on full volume and then it cuts out but if I turn down the volume and blow air into the speakers it goes back to play fine until I turn up the volume again. I'm going to try to clean it out with a toothbrush and see if that helps. But I'm curious does this seem more like a hardware problem or is it a problem with the operating system and I should try to hold out until ios 6 comes out and see if that helps. I've read all the problems with this so I'm hesitant to send it in since there is no apple store around here and find out I have to pay to get it fixed. Tried to talk to them on the phone but since it's a week past ninety days I would have to purchase apple care in order to get any help but yet that's only available for 30 days after your purchase so I'm not sure how come they can offer that over the phone. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help. The problem just started suddenly. The problem I have is the closest Apple Store is 3 hours away so I would have to send it in and I don't want to send it to them and then be told I'd have to pay for it. Would they just send the phone back if you decide not to have it fixed. I will probably just get used to it or maybe it will fix itself one day.

Music cutting out while using airplay

I just configured my Airport Express as a client to an existing wireless network. I don't know for sure but the existing network is probably not being provided by an Airport router.
I was successful but when I try to play songs via iTunes to my stereo, the songs are constantly interrupted. It will play fine for a few seconds or ten seconds or sometimes 30 seconds, but then it will stop for a while and then start up again.
I've tried reconfiguring the Airport Express, enabling Interference Robustness and restarting the Airport Express using the admin software and by unplugging. Nothing is working yet.
Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thank you!

i am reaching a breaking point. Things are going from bad to worse . . .
I moved my new AE into the same room where my other (main base) AE was, thinking that the issue may have been that the two were having a hard time "seeing" each other and thus were dropping connections. At first, this seemed to be an improvement; when playing songs through my remote (second) AE, the music was cutting out much less frequently. Instead of dropping the music every few seconds, it would only cut out about once a song. And it improved over time; by about the fifth song, it wasn't cutting out at all.
However, I then tried to play music through the stereo I have connected to my original (main base) AE, the problems started all over again. iTunes was totaly unable to establish a connection to the stereo on the main base AE. It would say "connecting to remote speakers", and when it was "done" connecting, nothing would happen. No music would play, and the status bar on the iTunes song would stay frozen and not move.
I'll note that at no time have I ever had significant problems playing music through my main base. We've had that main base for 6 months and been very happy with it's performance, except for not being able to get to cover the whole apartment with a reliable wireless signal (which is what I was hoping to remedy by buying a second one).
This also started affecting my internet connection! After having the two AEs in the same room for about a half hour, I suddenly could no longer get any web pages to load, and network speed in the OS X Activity Monitor dropped to below 10 KB/sec, even though I was trying to load several webpages at a time.
Thankfully, when I unplugged the second (non-main) AE, performance on my main base station returned to normal. I will continue to try and troubleshoot this, but the conclusion I am drawing at this point is that although the AEs work great individually, they don't work very well together. This is very disappointing, considering Apple touts how "easy" it is supposed to be to link these together.
I did read on another thread that sometimes the AE will just crap out and die over time. Perhaps my used ebay purchased AE is just shot.

I can't add any more columns. The option is suddenly greyed out.

Allen,
Actually, there is a TRANSPOSE Function, but no Command or Tool for that. It's one of the more useful and popular omissions in Numbers. Perhaps because it falls into the "didn't plan ahead so now I need a tool" category of features, it didn't make the cut.
Use of the Transpose Function is described in the Function Browser, the Help feature and in the Functions of Formulas User Guide PDF. It involves using the INDEX function to read out the array created by the Transpose function. Another way to do this is to use the OFFSET function in an expression and by exchanging the row and column references.
Yvan Koenig has written an Applescript that will automate the transposition for data and for certain simple expressions. You can get it from his Box Account, on this page.

Sustained use of Cinema display audio results in noise, choppy audio, then cutting out

When I play a sustained audio stream through my 27" LED Cinema display – for example, listening to my music collection on iTunes – for a couple hours (since I powered on my computer), the audio suddenly gets very noisy and after a few seconds really choppy (+ noisy), and waiting another few seconds it's barely audible (just repeated hints of noise). After this happens, I can press Pause in iTunes, wait a few seconds, then press Play, and the audio is perfectly fine again.
Then, after only a half hour or less, the same thing happens, and I have to do the same thing to fix it. I am always able to fix the audio perfectly fine, but it inevitably craps out again after 5-30 minutes.
If I power off my computer or let it sleep overnight, then come back and play iTunes again, the audio will be fine for a few hours before this inevitably happens again.
I've followed the advice of an Apple support technician of resetting both my NVRAM and SMC, and that had no effect. The Cinema display audio continues to behave the same.
I have the USB for the Cinema display plugged directly into my MBP's USB port (no other USB hub in the way).
I have the latest version of OS X and thus the 27" Cinema Firmware 1.0 update has already been applied (I tried applying it by downloading the firmware update manually, but it refused, saying I do not need this update).
This should go without saying, but this never happens when I play music through my MBP's built-in speakers, or when I play music through external speakers plugged into the line-out port. It's behaviour that happens exclusively through the 27" Cinema display's audio interface.
Thoughts, anyone?
I'm especially curious whether anyone else has had precisely this kind of audio problem with their 27" Cinema display. I've seen many people post audio issues relating to their 27" Cinema display, but most of those problems were remedied by the 1.0 firmware update, and besides none of the problems were described quite like mine (specifically, audio that becomes noisy, then mostly cuts out - it never completely cuts out - and that can be reliably [temporarily] fixed by pausing and playing the audio again).

Can an MBP Sound preferences output to the display as opposed to through usb? I use a mac pro and have those two choices for my mini-displayport 27" apple display.
I am not suggesting this as a fix but only testing various other paths to try to diagnose the problem.
What first came to mind in your description was that you are having some kind of temperature problem. And I think the temp problem lies with the MBP and not the display. To that end you might consider adding one of the temp monitor utilities like iStat Pro, iStat Menus, Temperature Monitor, Temperature Monitor widget, Hardware Monitor, etc. See if there some correlation with the temps shown in some of the readings and your sound problem.
