IPhone 4 crackling when using iPod

Any idea how to fix the random crackling in the background when playing the iPod on my iPhone 4. I dont remember hearing this before the latest update or on my iPhone 3G3.

Jamesey U,
Try resetting your iPhone. To reset the iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo.
If that doesn't work, then try to reset all settings. To reset settings, Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. Note: This will reset all settings. No data or media will be deleted.
If that still doesn't work, you can try restoring the iPhone using iTunes. To restore, connect the iPhone to your computer. When it appears in the Source list, click on Restore in the Summary tab. Note: This will delete all media and data. All settings will be reset as well. If possible, sync iPhone with iTunes before restoring to back up your most recent settings.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

  • IPhone stalls sandomly when using iPod

    Anyone else have the problem of their iPhone randomly stopping play when in iPod and then going to the restart screen (the little silver apple icon over the black background)? It happens to me everytime I'm listening to the iPod for more than an hour. All mp3s loaded on the phone play fine in iTunes, so I don't think it's a problem with any one (or a few) songs in particular. I have the most current update (1.1.4) but it's been happening since the previous update (1.1.3). Any help or suggestions would be great...

    That sounds like you have internal damage in the SIM card slot. Try taking the phone to an Apple store for evaluation. Make a genius bar appointment first at http://apple.com/retail.

  • IPhone speaker crackles when music played at top volume

    After about 90 minutes straight of playing spoken-word podcasts and music from my internal iPhone 4S speakers at top volume, the music now crackles when played at top volume. This change happened mid-song, when the unit was just sitting untouched on a counter. At first top volume was not as loud as it was previously, but the unit seems to have regained the functionality. I've reset the unit twice.
    Any idea what happened and—more importantly—how I can fix it? Thanks!

    I have the same problem, actually its only one month since i used my new iphone 4s.
    I did not played it for hours...actually i just had a conversation on skype using the original headset up to 2 hours.. Then i used the phone on a portable speaker for music. Suddenly, when i removed the jack and played a game i noticed the cracking sound on the speaker on full volume...
    Zach, any recommendation on how i can fix this things... Its really annoying...
    Apple please help us on this matter...

  • Loudness of music varying by itself when using iPod in iPad with other app

    The loudness of music started varying up and down itself when listening to music using iPod and using other app simultaneously in iPad. Does anyone have got the same problem? Is it a hardware or software problem? How to fix it? Many many thanks

    I agree, this is a huge let down. I didn't realize I was uploading low quality photos and people commented that my quality has gone down... so much for using this as a business expense for photography. I know people argue (just upload it from your pc) Well, this is a "retina display" High res, yadda yadda... so why isn't the app thats designed specifically for it?
    Anyways, seems like an easy fix...
    Strange.. all the ads are in high res...

  • Hardware conflict when using ipod mini

    well this is something i have found out so hope it helps any one else.
    some USB ports won't work on some new machines (computers) when a copper jet DSL modem is installed.(this is the model i have and is a few years old) it causes the ipod to malfunction or not be reconised.
    when the copper jet modem is removed the ipod works fine. this as enabled two ipods with exclamation mark previously unable to reset, to now work fine with out problems.
    I don't know if it was just luck so if any one else has the exclamation mark try this and post whether it worked or not.
    hope this helps

    Do I have to authorize my laptop to be able to use iTunes and my ipod on it?
    Yes, to play iTunes purchased music, you'll need to authorize your laptop. You can authorize up to 5 computers at a time.
    So will this authorization screw these songs up?
    No, it will not affect them at all.
    can I leave my ipod in automatic mode or should I change it to manual mode when using two pcs?
    You need to use manual mode if you want to use your iPod with multiple computers. Neither computer can be in Automatic Sync mode.
    This article should explain how to use the iPod with multiple computers:

    The IDT soundcard on my 64 bit Envy 17t 3000 3D with Win7 crackles when playing back audio in Sonar X1 64 bit DAW. Could be a latency issue but setting adjustments do not help.
    My old 32 bit Pavilion laptop uses Conexant soundcard and never had this trouble.

  • WHY THE IPHONE GETTING HOT WHEN USING 3G PLUS WITH DATa?, WHY THE IPHONE GETTING HOT WHEN USING 3G PLUS WITH DATA?

    why my iphone 4s getting hot when using 3g plus with data?
    then my phone left side speaker didnt work when i list songs?

    It is normal for the phone to get hot when your using data such as YouTube videos, streaming music etc.. And as for the left speaker not working, the left speaker is a microphone, the right one is for sound. Don't worry, everything your iPhone is doing is normal.

  • When using iPod in my iPhone it plays for a minute then goes to pause, how do I stop this?

    When I play iPod music on my phone it will play for a few seconds, even minutes & then will sort of crackle/hesitate and the player goes to pause.
    I hit the play again & the same happens.
    I have tried a soft reset, any idea what else I can do?

    Chea,
    8-3 isn't, strictly speaking, a number, so Numbers guesses it's a Date when the default format of Automatic is in force. You can override the guess by formatting the cell to something other than Automatic.
    It may seem perverse to you, but formatting the cell as Number prior to enterint the string 8-3 causes it to be presented as Text. This will solve your problem, I suppose, since it will not longer be a Date/Time object.
    On the other hand, if you were tring to express an operation involving two numeric values and the subtraction operator, then you could write: =8-3. The resulting display would then be 5.

  • Pops and crackles when using EAX in F.E.A.R.

    Here is my system:
    Windows 7 64-bit
    intel i7 930
    ASUS P6T:SE Mobo
    2x Nvidia GTX 470 SLI
    12GB DDR2 RAM
    1TB 7200 RPM HDD
    Creative X-Fi Titanium and the latest non-beta drivers
    -I also have the Windows PID patch and the SLI patch
    I recently discovered Alchemy and how it would enable EAX effects (though I'm still not exactly sure if EAX is responsible for the 3D positioning or if it's just some fancy processing to make sound effects sound cooler).
    That said, I noticed that after enabling Alchemy and EAX effects, F.E.A.R. started to make popping and crackling noises. But, these noises wouldn't start immediately. It would take a couple minutes before I started hearing them, and it would get progressively worse and worse. Eventually, the game itself would start stuttering and it became impossible to play because of the choppiness.
    I have never really experienced this with another game, and only noticed this behavior after enabling EAX effects. I have played F.E.A.R. before with no problems, granted, this was without EAX effects enabled.
    Furthermore, I have no idea what needs to be enabled. In the F.E.A.R. sound menu, I have these options:
    Hardware Mixing
    EAX 2.0
    Advanced EAX HD
    I can turn any combination of those on or off, and I'm not really sure which ones I should have on and off. Turning on Hardware Mixing and Advanced EAX HD seems to have the best results, but then the sound starts jacking up after playing for a few minutes and eventually, the actual gameplay itself will start becoming choppy, making it impossible to continue playing. It even becomes hard to navigate the menus because the cursor is affected by the choppiness as well.
    And the popping and crackling even continues after I exit the game, even in Windows, but to a lesser extent. And it seems to quit completely after a few minutes. Very strange.
    Also, I tried disabling SLI and it did not seem to make a difference.
    What is going on here? I just want to play this game with 5.1 surround sound and, preferably, EAX, because I do like the way it sounds. It's just that I can't play with EAX because it starts jacking up after awhile.
    Edit: It seems that turning on "Hardware Mixing" enables discrete 5.1 channels. Without Hardware Mixing on, I only get stereo output from F.E.A.R. Is this correct behavior? I'm testing further to see if the popping and crackling occurs when Hardware Mixing is enabled (but not any of the EAX settings). I'll report back when I know.
    Edit #2: After several minutes of playing with only Hardware Mixing enabled (and no EAX), no popping or crackling occurred. I will continue to test different combinations.
    Edit #3: After more testing, it seems that I can use Hardware Mixing (which enables discrete 5.1 channels) and Advanced EAX HD together, which sounds absolutely fantastic. I believe that the problem is caused when I enable EAX 2.0 -- even if I immediately disable it, it seems like it actually starts causing a problem. So what I did was completely restart the game (and my computer) and ONLY enable Hardware Mixing and Advanced EAX HD making sure not to touch EAX 2.0 at all, leaving it disabled.
    I've been playing for about an hour with no pops or crackles at all, let's hope it stays that way!
    tl;dr - Turning on EAX 2.0 and Advanced EAX HD at the same time can cause undesirable results even if you turn off EAX 2.0. Restart the game (and perhaps your computer) to make sure that when you start the game, EAX 2.0 is completely disabled and ONLY enable HW Mixing and Advanced EAX HD.
    Edit #4: Sadly, I am still noticing some intermittent popping, but after playing for awhile it never gets extremely bad. It is much less severe than earlier. Not sure where to go from here.

    Just for curiosity I didn't install ALchemy straight away. As I suspected, none of the advanced sound mode options were enabled, which means they've just got an overly complicated menu. It could have just as easily been one option called "Audio Processing" with "Hardware", "EAX 2.0" and "EAX Advanced HD" as the available options - no need for a "Software" setting since it would be disabled without any of those, and the others could be en-/dis-abled based on your hardware capabilities. Oh well - chalk that one up to poor menu design.
    When I did install ALchemy, however, I just used the default settings - 4 buffers at 25 duration - and turned on all three options in-game. I played through until the first checkpoint in the 3rd "level" (after the third loading screen w/briefing) and didn't notice anything unwanted with the sound. It appears that I'm using ALchemy 1.43.21, going by the installation files properties, but in all honesty I'm just using what came with the latest Recon3D drivers.
    The nearest equivalent I can find for the X-Fi Titanium is a beta 1.43.06, but I might be able to find a way to upload the Recon3D one somewhere if you want to see if it works and fixes the problem. Alternatively, they can be extracted from the driver suite for the Recon3D easy enough. I use 7-Zip to do it, but other archive programs can probably do it as well. Look in the Audio\extras\Audio\ALchemy directory.
    It's a shame the protagonist in FEAR keeps wigging out. It's actually a pretty darned good shooter when it's not trying to warp your brain - but at least there's no baby crying like when Max Payne goes nuts.
    I just noticed that I get popping, crackling, and eventually game-freezing in Left 4 Dead 2, as well.
    I used Alchemy to enable EAX for Left 4 Dead to (I read in the FAQ on Creative's Alchemy page that you could enable it for source engine games), and while playing, I starting hearing pops and stuff just like as in F.E.A.R. Eventually, the game started lagging as well (like in F.E.A.R.), and I had to quit out. It even persisted in windows for a bit as I would notice it when changing the volume and hearing the little "ding" with a pop or crackle in it. I restarted my computer.
    I wonder if perhaps the problem isn't Alchemy, but if my sound card is overheating? But that seems a bit far-fetched. I do have two gpus which produce a lot of heat, but both of them stay within safe temperatures (though they do get close at times). In fact, one of them is even water-cooled, and it stays very cool.
    It just seems especially strange that, although diminished, the pops and crackles continue even when I quit to my desktop. I don't hear them unless a sound is playing, though. And even then, it is quite diminished from they way it was during the game.
    Also, how do I check my version of Alchemy? Could I not use the software update to get the latest version?
    Edit: I just tried the software update. It said that my version of Alchemy is 1.41.02, and that I have the latest version installed.
    Do different versions of Alchemy exist for different Creative cards? For example, perhaps 1.41.02 IS the most recent version for my x-fi titanium, but not for your recon3D.. Or can I use any version of Alchemy? Maybe getting the most recent version would fix my problems.
    Edit #2: I found version 1.43.06 of Alchemy. I went to the x-fi titanium's page on Creative's site and clicked on "beta application", and it was there. Downloading/installing now and testing.
    Edit #3: Version 1.43.06 of Alchemy does not seem to work. I do not get any EAX effects in F.E.A.R. at all, no matter which combination of options are enabled.
    Also, as a side note, does "EAX Effects" need to be enabled in the audio control panel? I've tried it both ways, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

  • ITunes has stopped Working when using Ipod shuffle 3gen on Windows Vista HB

    Itunes keeps shutting down when I insert my Ipod shuffle into the usb connection of my latop. I am using a Windows Vista Home Basic for an OS.
    Not sure if this is a Vista, Apple issue, or something else...
    I have contacted apple about this and uninstaled/reinstalled Itunes. Yet after all this, I get the same error message. The message reads:
    "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    As far as I know Vista should be compatible with iTunes and it is until I actually try to use my shuffle (newest model). Its weird because my shuffle works fine on a second computer that has Windows XP for an OS...
    Does anyone have a solution to this??
    Thanks in advance!

    i have the same issue... but i found a workaround.. i tried 3 diff OS's . didnt change the problem. To Add apps or music to ur Ipod... simply DISCONNECT the Ipod from the PC then add files/folders to library. Then connect the ipod back to PC and sync. it has no problem adding the files that way (at least in my case) I hope this helps... Good Luck =)
