Is it a common problem? - volume problem
my iphone's volume keep going up automatically. and when i try lowering it, it just keep going up. is it normal? my phone is only 1 month old.
hi, did you ever get a resolution to this? i have a similar problem on my 4s but the volume automatically gets quieter instead of louder. (equally annoying) this started about a month ago and i've had this phone for about 1 1/2 years. i first thought it was my case so i took it off but it still does this on occasion. i've had the case for about a year as well.
i mostly listen to the podcast app and that is where it mostly happens for me. i don't know for sure if it happens with audiobooks or other media. maybe a bug with the ive updated podcast app???

Volume on iphone is very low, this is a common problem, Apple Needs to FIX!
I have a new iphone 3GS that I got at the end of July, 2009. Since then i've been having problems with the volume! I called support because i had this problem along with my screen turning blank and freezing up. Support said to take the case off and this might help. well it did help the screen issue (which is kind of dumb when you think about it because the case is supposed to protect the phone and instead it caused it to malfunction!!,wierd), but the volume issue never really changed. I am hearing impaired and I do wear hearing aids, BUT....I have ALWAYS been able to use cell phones that have good loud volume, as i need to remove my aids to use the phone. My LG phone had BEAUTIFUL volume, never had a problem!
So, then I started to do some research and saw this is a very common problem! everyone I know that has an iphone has this problem, and all these people are normal hearing people! So then i decided to just get some really good, superduper headphones, because the headphones that came with the phone were ok, but i had to hold them in my ears.
The other day i bought the new Bose in-ear headphones with superior sound quality and at $130 bucks, they better be and the are compatable with the iphone. But.....again, while actually talking to someone on the phone the sound, even with the headphones and all volumes max'd, was still very low!! and i know its not the headphones because listening to the ipod is fantastic! it must be the phone!!!
I even used the "accessibility" setting that is on the phone and selected the mono audio feature which pushes both L&R sounds through one channel, and still doesnt help!
I even called support back today and one guy said i had to "restore" my phone by plugging it into my computer (not really sure what he means) but we got disconnected and the other guy said that i should bring my phone into the apple store. Both tech guys denied that there are lots of calls or complaints about this....but as you all know from reading the many posts, that this is a very common problem!!!
I think Apple should do the right thing and recall these phones or at least fix them or SOMETHING!!!! this volume issue is internally, because when i make a call and an automated voice comes on, it works fine (majority of the time) but as soon as a live voice comes on the phone, the volume drops! there must be some type of automatic voice adjuster that is just not working properly. I mean i love my phone!!! But....i cant use it!!! And now, im going to have to return my Bose headphones and try to find something else.
Can anyone really help me?????stewa348 wrote:
I agree with you about the volume on the phone itself. (I have 3Gs). It needs to be louder. I also wear hearing aids. However I do think there may be something wrong with your phone because when I connect my earbuds (Klipsh) I get very good volume through them. In fact at full volume it's way too loud. I would push for a replacement phone.
FWIW, my daughter (who also wears hearing aids) has trouble hearing her iphone. It appears to have more to do with the speaker not being lined up with the hearing aid's input. Her audiologist pointed out that some current hearing aids support bluetooth, I think we will get those next time we replace her hearing aids. -
Steps to troubleshoot and get past common problems with Audition
When you encounter a problem with Audition, the following steps are often useful for getting past the problem and/or determining the cause of the problem:
1. Hold down SHIFT while you launch Audition
This overrides the preference files and launches Audition using the default settings.
2. Manually rename or delete the preferences folder
Step 1 only overrides certain preference files, while others such as Workspace preference files, may be the cause of the problem. Depending on your OS, locate the "5.0" folder in the location below and rename it or delete it.
Windows XP: C:\Document and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Audition\5.0\
Windows Vista/7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\5.0\ *
Mac OS X: ~\Library\Preferences\Adobe\Audition\5.0\ **
* "AppData" may be a hidden folder. You can type it into the location bar, or enable "Show Hidden Files" in Windows.
** This is your user-level Library folder, not the system-level tree.
3. Check your Audition Log.txt file
To enable a log file with CS 5.5, you must create an empty file in your preferences folder called "Audition Log.txt" using notepad, text edit, or any other editor. After you create this file, launch Audition and if it fails, open and/or share the log file for more specific information about what's happening.
4. Check the Operating System console or error log
Both OS X and Windows can track application errors, and if the problem is occurring outside of the application code - a driver conflict, for example - then the OS error report may be more informative than what we can get from the application.
OS X: launch /Applications/Utilities/Console.app Clear the view, then launch Audition and note any error messages that appear.
Windows: launch Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application then launch Audition and note any error messages that appear.
5. Re-install Audition
If at this point, nothing has resolved the issue or the error logs are inconclusive, it's a good time to uninstall Audition, reboot, and reinstall Audition.
6. Obtain the full crash dump and send it to the Adobe team
So you've walked through all the above steps, you've disconnected any external hardware interfaces to rule out any device or driver conflicts, and you've exhausted the basic troubleshooting steps. Visit http://forums.adobe.com/thread/900619 and follow the steps for your OS that Charles has documented to best obtain a full crash memory dump for Audition, and send that to [email protected] with a description of the problem and the steps you've taken, and we'll take a look.Firstly yes these are common problems and secondly hopefully they will be fixed with updated software 2.1 which is due for release this coming Firday!

Open cursors exceeded - common problem, different scenario
I searched both the web and the java forums and found the "maximum open cursors exceeded" to be a very common problem, one in which I have, but I can't seem to solve it and I was wondering if the way I am doing certain things are causing it.
Here is my program. I have a java server running that is acting as a midway between a java applet and an Oracle database. Since many users will most likely be using the applet, and since the applet has the ability to alter data in the database, I wanted to Synchronize my database connections.
So because of this, my server has a static class with all the database calls, including a connection call that connects to the database when it is first started up. Also, I return ResultSets to the server, but I never close either my ResultSet or my Statement. I do this because I only have one global of each of them. Otherwise I would have to close them from the server, and this worries me as far synchronization goes. Thus, with a global statement, I am just reinstantiating it every time. This may very well be my problem.
Should I?
1. Not have a single connection to the database but instead create a new connection every time a database call is made?
2. Do not make the resultset and statement global. (And if this is yes, how would I go about closing them after I return the result set to the server).
3. Leave the resultset and statement global but go ahead and try to close them from the server.
4. Or any combination of the above.
Thanks. I appreciate any help advance. This problem has been driving me insane the last couple of days. If it would help to post my database connections code then I will gladly do so.Hmmm. I have worked on it all day and still have nothing. If anyone has even a shred of help, that would be greatl appreciated. I am going to just go ahead and post my code just in case that helps anyone.

My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?
Try this for the freezing

Are these common problems with the 3g?
So I had the old iPhone and absolutely loved it! I get the new one after waiting a few weeks so there was actually some available. Anyways, I had some problems with it when I got it and took it to my local apple store and they fixed is supposedly! Problems eventually came back! So I called apple and talk to a tech. He advised me to send it in and get a new one. So I payed the 20$ to get a new one. The new phone ended up great and worked just fine now the same problems have come back! The problems consist of, the text ring going away after about an hour or restarting the iphone, the ringtone not working sometime, it freezing a lot, simple little things like that, plus more.
Basically im really irritated that the huge iphone 3g that was the newest fastest phone to come out has little things like this that have yet to be fixed. What is apple going to do about this and when??Firstly yes these are common problems and secondly hopefully they will be fixed with updated software 2.1 which is due for release this coming Firday!

In need of a pattern for a common problem - what to instantiate?
I'm sure this is a common problem with a standard solution (in a form of well known pattern), but I am not aware of one nor do I have any idea how would I Google for it... So, here it goes (exemplified):
a user is presented with a combo box that enables him to choose what item he wishes to purchase. Depending on his choice, the application is supposed to instantiate an appropriate class that represents the purchased item. So, if the user chooses a book from the combo box, the class Book should be instantiated, if he chooses a comic book, the ComicBook class would be instantiated etc.
Apart from introducing a naming convention and instantiating the classes through Class.forName(), how would this problem be solved, in a way as generic as possible?
This is supposed to be used in a Web app, but I hardly believe that's relevant...Hmmm... I'm using JSF but it's my first project so I don't really know it's powers.
I instantiated all classes that will eventually populate the combo box (through reflection) and now I'm trying to find one which of the objects did the user select.
Would it be a problem for you to give me at least a rough scatch of what I should do?
I tried it like this:
in my managed bean:
public HtmlSelectOneMenu getProductsMenu() {
//instantiate and populate the list of products (prodlist)
for (Product p : prodlist){
optionlist.add(new SelectItem(p, p.getName()));
final UISelectItems items = new UISelectItems();
items.setValue(optionlist);
productsMenu.getChildren().add(items);
return productsMenu;
}and in my JSP:
<h:selectOneMenu binding="#{managedBean.productsMenu}" />but then, in the bean, when I try:
((Product)productsMenu.getValue())I get a Class cast exception. it says it can't can't cast String to Product...
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you! -
Video on skype not working. Only functioning in facetime and photo booth. Seems to be a common problem amongst users having bought a new macbook air recently. When you go to Preference and click on audio/video item video works but when clicking on another menue and returning to audio/videio picture is gone. Understand has something to do with a recent update von Apple (10.8.5... missing file for 32 bit version).
Anybody there to give me an advice?
Thanks.Wait until a fix is available from Apple or Skype.

My Dropbox files are not synching to my iPad. Is this a common problem and is there a fix?
FFiles I store to Dropbox do jot now appear on my iPad Dropbox app. They used to. If I reload Dropbox then it synchs all but I lose the favourites and when I save my more files they do not synch to this device.
I'm not sure what difference it makes if its a common problem or not but as its a hardware problem it needs to fixed so take it into an Apple store or authorized iPhone service provider and ask them what can be done.

On ipad 2 ps touch just keeps crashing it appears from reviews this is a common problem, how does one access a refund
As stated, completely exit pst (don't just leave the app) and then activate airplane mode. Then open PST and change your cloud sync option to "off". Once you deactivate airplane mode, you should be able to open PST again without the crash. Iirc, I had to work at opening PST and accessing my settings very quickly or it would still crash before opening the settings page. Unfortunately, we have to completely forget about cloud sync until the bug is fixed. Save any image files back to the ios camera roll to share with other apps or upload elsewhere.

Being new to the iphone I am having trouble listening to imported cds. The tracks keep sticking a bit like buffering. Is this a common problem and can it be solved just by addressing a general buffering problem which I already have on youtube but have not rectified as yet.
Thanks Kaz TIf <alanfromnewtownards> fix fails to address the issue - turn off iMessage and Facetime in Settings. Settings\iMessage, and Settings\facetime.
Sync by cable to iTunes.
Leave cable connected, open Settings\iCloud and ensure at least Mail is on and dsplays your Apple iD email - then turn iMessage and Facetime back on. Ensure that in the ISettings...\iMessage...\Facetime page that the Receive at field and Receive video calls at email address is the same address as your Apple I.D.
Resync when finished.
If still having problems with Facetime then check that the required port is open - allowing traffic in your router.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
In some cases you may need to turn on Port forwarding and open the port manually to allow traffic through. See your router documentation for details.
If having problems verifying, open iTunes store App on your pad. at bottom of page, click on your ID and sign in. Go to your Account details (re-veryfying and answering security questions may be required to do this) - check all details are correct.
Finally right click your device icon in iTunes and select Reset warnings. resync when finished.

My 2-year-old Airport Extreme instantly stopped working last night and is flashing the status light. The problem description is that the ethernet cable is not plugged in... however, the ethernet cable is still plugged into the cable modem. I checked the modem by plugging directly into my laptop... it works fine. Is this a common problem? Is there anything I can try other than sending it in for warranty repair?
At this point, before sending it back, I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results. -
