Line crackly only a few minutes
hi there
We have had a phone problem since we moved in five months ago. If we make or receive calls the line is fine for a few minutes and then gets gradually more crackly until the line is as good as unusable.
Automated line tests show it's ok. We had an engineer out who said he found a water ingress problem at the cabinet and that it was fixed. But it's not, it's the same as ever.
Any ideas what might cause this? Will we get charged for more engineer callouts? It's really irritating and we're using all our mobile minutes!
We're on the 40 meg fibre package and I get 25-30 meg reliably enough.
Cheers
Austen
If fault not fixed you need to get engineer back. As long as fault outwith your hoem you should not be charged unless you have damaged something

5 days ago received email warning that iCloud storage was almost full & syncing betwn devices would stop when it reached 5GB.Bought 10GB more, to my amazement the storage only a few minutes later is 10.26 out of the 15GB available.How is that possible?
My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Images burn into the screen after being there for only a few minutes?
What's wrong with my mac if images burn into the screen after being there for only a few minutes?
I can have an icon, like a folder or something, on my desktop for only a few minutes and then when I move it an image of it will be burned into the screen for another few minutes. Same thing happens with having a webpage open for a few minutes or word document. What part of my computer is malfunctioning and is Apple responsible for repairing it?Hi,
Does it happen on all desktops applications as well as Modern UI Apps? Since this issue only happened recently, I suspect a newly-installed third party program causes this issue, please check these programs if possible.
We can also boot into clean boot mode, test the issue.

When trying to Airplay from my Macbook Pro Retina, to AppleTv3 it plays for only a few minutes, and then jumps back to the Mac. It seems to do this no matter what I play, music, movies or pictures. I just bought a new router. This could affect it.
I have been playing whole movies before from VLC without problems.
Any Ideas?Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes it's network issues or settings that cause these types of problems most of the time.

I have an iPad that is now over twelve months old, it doesn't get over used, however in the last few days, it has started to get very hot after only a few minutes use, is this a fixable issue
Is it getting hot only when charging?
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

When I open one in a few minutes Firefox closes it and opens the other one. It doesn't happen when I use Internet Explorer. It must be something to do with Firefox! Maybe I have some kind of e-mail access plugin that only recognizes one but not the other?
I like using Firefox but this is annoying. How can we correct it?

I have purchased a TV series on iTunes and can't get it to download to either my pc or iPad. I have been trying for days. I have gotten about thirty minutes of one episode to download after leaving my computer up all night downloading. If I happen to get a few minutes downloaded it skips and then shuts down. Several times the message has come up that the episode is ready to play but it never will. I can fast forward and see the credits but can't play anything in between. It is very frustrating.
I have since read several reviews by iTunes customers that voice the same complaint, but I never have found anyone that gives a solution. If this is the way iTunes works then it looks like Netflix is in my immediate future!Similar issues here.
I purchased five movies for download and having nothing but problems getting them downloaded. I keep receiving error messages and the download stops and I have to restart it, just to get another minute worth of download with each restart. Now Apple has my money and I have nothing. -
Time Capsule dropping off network after only a few minutes?
Right, I've had a good look through the forums and found a few similar issues to mine but none that are exactly the same or provide any answers, so I'll give it a go and see if anyone has a clue what is going on because I'm stumped.
I've got a new TimeCapsule which is connecting to my home network (through a belkin router), and for the first few days it worked fine. But ever since it's been acting up. To start with it kept dropping from the network and not showing up in either Airport Utility or Finder. Initially simply restarting it worked, but the dropping started getting progressively worse. I tried renaming the machine with a shorter title and no spaces, but the problem continued. Eventually it got to the point where the machine would just hang when switched on with either a solid green or solid amber light - no audible startup procedure or anything. Resetting the machine made no difference - sometimes the light would flash amber and sometimes it would do nothing at all, but neither did anything to the actual machine.
I left the machine off for a good few hours and switched it back on and it showed up in my system long enough for me to reset it and reconfigure it. Then as I tried to change the disc name to something short and without spaces it dropped out again and now seems dead as a dodo once more.
I have checked the local wireless networks, and it seems mine is using channel 2, which no one else seems to be. But I can't stay connected to the TC to change it anyway.
Ironically when it is working it's fine and I can access the files and everything. I'd be tempted to take it back tomorrow but I had moved a few files to the HD when it was working that I'd rather not lose forever.
Any ideas?I got my puzzle here:
Time Capsule (Firmware 7.3.2) dropping internet connections (PPPoE) every 2-3 minutes, then automatically re-connect.
Time Capsule 500G - bought yesterday
ISP stability - 4 years, I've been using
Computers - PC (Vista), MBP (Mac OS X 10.5.6), MBA (Mac OS X 10.5.6) --- but seems not related to this issue. Even shut down the computers, TC still drops; No "Real Player Updater" found though...
I have to get back to my $55 Buffalo and it's running perfectly stable now... -
Only first few minutes of audiobooks play
Audiobooks no longer play on any device that I have: ipods, MacBook, iphone...
The first 5 minutes or so play and then the track completely stops. The behaviour is slightly different on different devices.
On the MacBook, an audiobook plays for around 5 minutes and then skips on to the next book.
On the iPods, an audiobook plays for around 5 minutes and then just stops.
On the iPhone the volume stops after around 5 mins though the track keeps playing forwards.
This must be a problem with the iTunes 10.6.3 software? I guess that this problem has happened since I recently upgraded all.
Are others finding this serious problem as well? Can anything be done?The file isn't corrupted, or at least the music file itself. It is something to do with the iTunes Player and whatever it has done to the info about the tunes/books.
I need to do the procedure on more music myself, as I have found more tracks that stop playing. I thought that I had fixed them all, so I hope that thisn't a problem that iTunes keeps re-introducing. I hope it is just something that happned in the update process - although maybe there has been another update since the first problematic one? Not sure but anyway...
to fix it
...I think that the safest way to do the procedure is to go to your Music folder, then to the iTunes folder then ITunes Media folder. Locate the files that you want to fix and drag them onto the desktop. Go to the iTunes player, select the tracks there and delete them in the Player. Then re-import the files back to the Player (drag them on to it) from the desktop. This will restore the files to the iTunes Media folder and the re-import to the Player should make them play properly.
Try it with one item first to check that it works. Make a duplicate of the media file too, when you first try it, just in case. -

XBMC: HDMI audio starts out OK, then gets distorted after few minutes
Hi,
I have posted about this on the XBMC forums, but one of the developers kindly informed me that they do not support XBMC on Arch Linux in any way, so I should take my queries elsewhere. I am hoping that someone here might be able to shed some light on my issue.
I am trying to use XBMC 13.1 (xbmc-13.1-2) with Samsung EH5300 32" Smart TV (2013 model) over HDMI connection. The HTPC computer is AMD-based (AMD A4-5300 APU, which includes Radeon HD 7480D GPU), and runs an up-to-date Arch Linux (last full system upgrade on 2014-06-26). I am using the open source "radeon" driver (xf86-video-ati-1:7.3.0-1). Everything has been great except the sound:
The sound starts out fine, but a few minutes later it begins to get distorted. At first it sounds like reverb affecting voice only, but with time the distortion increases until it sounds kind of cued TV noise. If I restart the video, the sound works again for a while. If I change options in Settings -> System -> Audio Output, like the number of channels or pass-through, the sound is again good for a little while. If I enable or disable "Stereo Upmix" or change audio stream from the "Audio - Settings" dialogue window available during video playback, it too seems to "reset" the sound to sounding normal for a while.
Has anyone seen something like this?
I have tried different videos, and it seems like HD videos are affected more than SD videos, starting with distortions only a few minutes in (except the one Xvid video, which was fine for 15 minutes). Some SD videos are completely fine, some start having distortion issues only after 20 minutes or so. Judging from video information, if the video uses 5.1 channels (all HD videos fall in this category), it definitely gets distorted; if a video only uses 2.0 channels (like the SD videos), some are fine while others get distortion later on. I have "Number of channels" in Audio Output settings set to 2.0. Changing this (or any other audio settings) has not affected the distortion.
Following Arch Wiki: Radeon note about HDMI audio, I tried adding radeon.audio=1 to the kernel line; this did not solve the issue, just added some visual glitches.
In the XBMC debug log I posted, the distortions happen at around 17:26, though there is absolutely nothing logged at that time, even though I enabled "Verbose logging of AUDIO component" in the Debugging settings. The video I was playing there showed the following in the information window: 720 H.264 dts 5.1 16:9.
Any suggestions, ideas, or experiences would be appreciated. It definitely seems to be XBMC issue, since I was able to play the same HD video through mplayer without any problems (for at least half an hour, which would have already showed distortions several times through XBMC).Hi GDykes,
OK Imagine that Connection speed from your ISP is like an empty freeway. You can go full tilt (upto that road's speed limit)
Bandwidth is like a busy freeway where you only get to go as the bit you are in allows.
Reducing the Bandwidth in iChat or in the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab is like a vehicle that has a maximum speed that is slower than the speed possible on the freeway.

I've just recently put in brand new batteries into my wireless Bluetooth mouse for iMac and it continuously disconnects itself and will then reconnect itself for only a few minutes, just to disconnect again. It's become impossible to use my computer as my mouse smoky won't connect itself for long enough to do anything. Anyone had this problem before and could help me out?
HI:
It does not sound like a battery problem.
Try a couple of things:
1. Reset the SMC
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
2. Reset (if you can) the PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
If that does not help, delete the mouse in system preferences, turn it off, restart, and turn the mouse back on.

My sister gave me her iphone 4s for my son. It needed a new battery so, I bought one and replaced it. after doing so, it will not power up.

Was a simple switch so I don't understand what is going on. Have never had one of these before.
iPhones are not user servicable.
Take the device to a competent repair person or buy a new one.
