I accidentely spilled a little chocolate milk on the volume control part on my earpods. How do I fix it?

the other day i had accidently spilled some chocolate milk on my earpods where the volume control and mic is. And since that time the mic quit working and the buttons are squishy and take some force to get them to work. Do i need to get a new pair of earpods? Or is there a way i could fix them?

Try restoring to factory settings/new iPod. If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem. Then like Ralph said, time to go to the Apple store.

I accidentally spilled tea on my macbook and the keyboard is sticky, I took off the key "A" and now I can't put it back on. What can I do or where can I take it so it can be fixed?

I accidentally spilled tea on my macbook and the keyboard is sticky, I took off the key "A" and now I can't put it back on. What can I do or where can I take it so it can be fixed?

So is that key the only thing that does not work? How much tea was spilled and did it dry out completely or ? Was there sugar in the tea?
If the key is the only thing, I'd take it to the nearest Genius Bar and ask if they could pop it back in.

You can restore the iPhone on a different computer using Recovery Mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808), but you will lose all content. If there were a way around a passcode lock there would be no point in having a passcode lock.

What do I do if Chocolate milk is spilled on keyboard?

What do I do if Chocolate milk is spilled on keyboard?

Immediately disconnect all peripherals, power cord & remove the battery. Turn the computer over with the lid partly open and the hinge facing upward to let the liquid drain. Do not flop it over and lay it flat - you want to separate it from the moisture. Place paper or cloth towels under the machine to sop up the mess.
After the computer disgorges whatever you spilled on it, don't turn it on for 72 hours or longer. You want to computer to dry out completely before turning it on again.
Some users here swear by hairdryers. Blow drying the innards may bake whatever was in the liquid onto delicate computer components. Better to let the computer air dry.
Use plain tepid water to clean out the computer. If you spilled iced beverage more than likely this ice fried the hot motherboard.
Sugary, acidic or milky drinks will almost always cause problems later on as the residue starts slowly corroding the computer innards.
Swab down any sticky parts with distilled water or denatured alcohol.
If none of the above works, you will need to take the computer to a repair shop. Apple Care does not cover liquid or food damage. Believe me, they can tell. So the old "my computer stopped working" line is not going to work.

Cleaning Macbook keys after a spill

I accidentally spilled milk all over my keyboard

The other day I dropped a whole glass of milk on my keyboard. I was able to get most of it out and turn on my computer without any problems, however I'm still worried about a couple things. I'm concerned that there's still milk in there and that it is going to cause damage, I'm also worried that my keys are going to continue sticking (they've gotten better since I've been using the keyboard for the past hour, but there are still a fair few having a hard time registering). How can I fix these problems without getting a whole new computer? I'm still under warranty, would that cover the damages, or would it be water damage?

It will cause damage if it hasn't done so already. It is not covered by your warranty. You need to take the computer to your Apple retailer ASAP to see if it's still fixable.

Spilled a little water on my MacBook Pro

Hello,
Yesterday I spilled a little water on my macbook (Yeah, I'm stupid), but it didn't stop working, and I wanted to ask if is there anything more that I can do to guarantee that nothing will happen to it.
Here's the story:
I spilled about a teaspoon of water on my Retina MacBook Pro in its top right: on the metal, the keys near (and including) the power button, the back ventilation holes and the right sound output. The macbook didn't stop working, it actually stayed normal, but I immediately turned it off (and accidentally turned it on right after turning it off, but it was normal and I then clicked the "power off" button on the screen instead of pressing the power key again because I was afraid some water could enter inside it). I removed the water quickly (probably none or very little water entered the little sound holes), put it upside down and tilted it to try to take the water off (mainly from the ventilation holes).
After letting it stay for some time upside down, I returned it to normal position and removed the keycaps of the buttons where the water spilled, but the water didn't seem to have entered, because all of them were dry below the keycap (I didn't remove the power keycap to see though, because I didn't want to turn the macbook on). Then, I used a vaccum cleaner to try to remove the water from the ventilation holes (and it removed a little water) and the little sound holes. After that I put the side of the macbook that I spilled the water on inside a bowl of rice. It has been one day and I didn't turn it on.
I am thinking of letting it stay about one or two more days there inside the rice before trying to turn it on again. It seems that no harm was done, because before turning it off it was completely normal (I turned it off) and no water seemed to enter though the keycaps, and I am letting it stay turned off just to guarantee that it will be ok.
Is there anything more that I can do? Do I need to go to iPlace (the only place in my city that offers technical support - There aren't any genius bar's in my city) and ask them to do anything?
Thanks for all the help I can get. I just bought this MacBook and it would really be a problem if it stopped working or if it dies in two months. Is this corrosion thing really a problem?

Yeah, you are right.
I turned my MacBook on and it is perfecly OK, the speakers are fine, the keys that I spilled water on are normal and everything is working fine. Maybe I am just a very lucky guy and no water contaminated the internals of my macbook
And what you said is totally true. I am from Brazil, and I don't trust the repair facilities here. Because of that sending it to a repair facility is my last resort. I'm afraid that they'll say that the macbook has some problems when it is completely ok or that they'll damage it and charge me for fixing it. Things like this happen here, unfortunately.
If there is nothing I can do to to stop any corrosion without replacing the components there is no motive to send it to the repair facility.
Thanks for all the help guys.

I spilled a little water in MacBook-typing in all caps and booting in safe mode. Any hope?

I spilled a little water into my MacBook. It worked fine after but a couple hours later,it began typing in all caps. It now only boots in safe mode and still types in all caps. Is there any hope for it if I leave it turned off to dry? How many days should I do this for before I give up?

No. Sounds like you powered it backup while it was still wet. If so the damage is done. Problems will only get worst as corrosion sets in.
Suggest you take it to Apple and ask them for the cost of repair it.

I spilled a little bit of soda on my keyboard ( more like big drops) and my computer won't turn on but it will still charge. After i spilled it it kept trying to turn on and off by itself until i finally just shut it down

I spilled a little bit of soda on my keyboard ( more like big drops) and my computer won't turn on but it will still charge. After i spilled it it kept trying to turn on and off by itself until i finally just shut it down. Today i tried to turn it back on ( i spilled it last night) and now it won't turn on but when i plug it in the orange light comes on so it still charges.

TBF: You may have been lucky enough not to cripple your MBP immediately with your spill, but a spill such as you describe will have left obvious traces if you ever need to take your machine in for a repair of any kind. And as soon as evidence of the spill is found, any chance of the necessary repairs being performed under warranty will be gone.
Taking the machine in now to be cleaned and have the greasy parts replaced will be expensive, but doing so may save whatever remains of your warranty. For a price, Apple will restore the machine to like-new condition, and at the very least, you will then have a 90-day repair warranty on it. If you have significantly more time than that remaining on your original one-year warranty, and especially if you've bought the extended AppleCare Protection Plan, it would probably be worth taking the machine in to a Genius Bar for a look-over. Ask whether, if you have Apple clean and repair the machine now, your new-computer warranty and AppleCare plan will be reinstated afterward or whether all you'll have is the short repair warranty from now on. If the spill will negate your warranty and AppleCare even if you have Apple clean it, then the cleaning probably isn't worth paying for. But if paying for the cleaning will get your warranty and AppleCare reinstated, it may be worth doing.

How to get rid of the little page window at the top right of an acrobat page

In the last 6 months or so, a little window image of the Acrobat page has started to appear in the top right corner of the page
This is a total menace as it can cover part of the text as per pic, and also covers the find tab. OK, you can x it off but I want to find a way to totally kill it. I cannot see any circumstance where the mini-window will be useful. Maybe it does have some useful functions, but I cannot think what they could be. I cannot imagine why Adobe would force this on us. Or maybe I have accidentally clicked something. HELP PLEASE

Thanks Sara - I have thought this might have something to do with it. But actually neither is selected (see below). Whatever is selected, it is difficult to see that the thumbnail can achieve any useful purpose! Any other ideas? It seems quite unpredictable in my system - the file I took a screenshot of to post above now has no thumbnail. While a file I opened this morning does. In my view it represents a bug in X as it only appeared after I had been using X for about 3 years, making me suspect it came in with an update. And there is no way to turn it off that I can find.

I accidentally eliminated my "Linked Selection" button over the timeline. How do I get it back?

I accidentally eliminated my "Linked Selection" button over the timeline. How do I get it back?

I'm finding it difficult to understand what you eliminated. Are you saying you no longer see your clips at the upper left of the screen ... the ones you placed in the timeline? Or are you saying you see the clips from the events but not the event names on the left most border of the upper left of the screen? There is a little arrow that points to the left with a bar to the left of it midway down the left border of the screen. Clicking on this little arrow hides or reveals the event names you have. (see below). Can you give us a little more info? Best wishes.

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. Help!

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone. Help!

The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it

I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it it gives me a message saying "Creative Cloud is not open anymore" help!

Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).

I keep getting the little blue box with the question mark

Hi
I have 10.6.7 system software and my safari is 5.0.4
I have called apple twice with this problem already but nothing has helped except for short times.
I have reset safari about one dozen times and when I do I reset the top 7 items and I've emptied the cache in addition just in case. I've also taken my safari preference plist out of my library and trashed it.
And I've run disk utilities many times and restarted my computer. Each thing I do will solve the problem for a short time, even up to a day or more (or less) but then it comes back. For instance on Facebook maybe 1/8th of the thumbnail images have the little blue boxes with the question marks but most don't. I can't figure it out. Sometimes even the iPAD safari gets them too but my firefox doesn't show them and neither does Safari on my eMac.
Yesterday the question marks even showed up in ONE mailing on all 3 computers with the question marks in the blue boxes (meaning my iMac, my eMac and my iPad) but then it just all resolved after a few hours. This does sound like possibly a server problem except today it's happening (in Safari again) only on this iMac in Safari (not firefox) and not on the other two devices.
One more thing, since they changed my radio on the roof for my wireless internet, the 5.8 phone cuts out the internet when I use it. The problem has gotten worse since they changed the radio to the same frequency as the phone, it's a much faster service than the 2.4 radio. I don't know if this is related or not.
Thank you,
Martha

<Contact your ISP.
Is it possible, Carolyn, that this would mainly and almost always be only affecting the iMac and Safari in the iMac if it were a server issue? Right now Safari has more blue boxes with question marks than ever and the eMac and iPad have none. Firefox on the iMac has none also.
I should try a direct connection and by pass the router and see if that makes a difference.
I will contact them tomorrow but I want to get clear in my head first all the facts and possibilities.
Thanks!
Martha

How do I add multiple songs to an existing playlist from the (no longer called) Library? Highlighting multiple songs and clicking the "Add to" button will only add the with the little arrow, not all the highlighted ones!

How do I add multiple songs to an existing playlist from the (no longer called) Library? Highlighting multiple songs and clicking the "Add to" button will only add the one with the little arrow, not all the highlighted ones! I am using the "new" iTunes.

For the moment there isn't a way for us end-users to control what is "matched" or "uploaded." That is purely a result of Apple's server-side algorithms.
To re-add multiple songs at once simply highlight all the songs you want to re-add, then right-click (or Control+click) the list and choose "add to iCloud."
