Loud static in headphones when plugged into laptop

Whenever my headphones are plugged into my laptop, there is a loud static/white noise. It's there all the time, but the sound is fine if on speakers. This problem just started

No idea what she has running on her laptop, but the iPhone appears just like any other camera. Sounds like something on her machine decided to go ahead and import the photos. They may actually be on her laptop.

No Audio From Headphones When Plugged Into The Jack

I have plugged numerous amounts of earphones into my only headphone jack. I know that the earphones work, because when they are plugged into other devices, they work just fine. But, when any earphones are plugged into the headphone jack, I only hear sound
from my laptop speakers that are built in. The sound worked the very first time I plugged in my earphones, but now they don't work.

Sony Smartwatch 2 - device not detected when plugging into laptop

Hi, When plugging my smartwatch 2 into my laptop I get that the USB device cannot be detected / no driver error and PC companion doesn't recognise it too. I know it's not a laptop issue as I connect my Xperia Z tablet and Z1 phone to it fine. Any help would be much appreciated. Gavin
Solved!

The SW2 isn't a device that will be detected as an external device being connected - Updates are done via an app update and apps are done via the phone - So you can't transfer files to it merely charge it via your Laptop

Zen V not recognised when plugged into laptop and it won't turn

Hi,
I just recently discovered this issue after not using my Zen V for a good month or so. Basically when I plugged it into my USB port it isn't recognised - all the software is installed yet it comes up saying new hardware was found with the name "STMP3600" and asks to to insert a disc and install the software. I remember seeing the software CD recently, but I'm experiencing that horrid feeling when you can see it at the front of your mind but you can't seem to quite grasp where it is :smileyvery-happy: I looked on this site but the only downloads are the Recovery programme (says I've not got anything plugged in) and the firmware (can't update if PC says nothing is connected).
I also can't turn it on; normally when its flat it turns on to the 'Creative' screen then flashes up with a battery warning sign and the words 'Low Battery' but this time its not the case. I tried slotting in a thin piece of metal and reseting & turning it on at the same as it recommends to get the internal recovery mode but no joy.
I can't send an email as I can't find the documents with the purchase date (it was from Amazon) and the serial code; I know it was some time in mid 2007 as I purchased it in my final year of University. Can you guess where that paper-work would be?
If anyone can give me some ideas of what to do, I would be very grateful! (And I will continue looking for my CD).

Maunally restore it. In order to do this:
-Download the iOS 5.1.1 firmware from here http://www.redmondpie.com/download-5.1.1-ios-for-iphone-4s-4-3gs-ipad-ipod-touch -direct-official-links/
1. After downloading the firmware from the given link, open iTunes and click on your device.
2. Now press SHIFT on your keyboard and while pressing it click on "Restore".
3. A dialog box will appear.
4. Select the firmware you downloaded and click ok.
5. Done!!! Your iPhone will now be restored to 5.1.1 and if you had backed up your iPod before, then you can put all its settings afterwards.

My thunderbolt display makes a noise when plugged into my macbook pro laptop

my thunderbolt display makes a noise when plugged into my macbook pro laptop. It sounds like an electronic noise which doesn't come through the speakers. Any advice how to eliminate this?

Could be a poor ground. Try plugging the monitor directly into the wall (no power strip) and see what happens.

I can't turn on my MacBook Air despite trying to hold down the power button and using the SMC method. BTW my battery charger lights up to a green when plugged into the laptop.

HELP! I got married last week on holidays and have not had a chance to save photos yet.

Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

Audio Noise When Plugged Into AC Adapter

I have a dv9000 laptop which produces a sizzling/buzzing sound when plugged into the AC adapter. It makes the sound when headphones or external speakers are used. I have updated all drivers that the HP Support article mentioned, but still do not get any silence. It appears that the sound intensifies when the hard drive is used more.
Also, I found articles relating to the same issue, and improper grounding was determined to be the cause. I have a 3 pronged AC adapter, so the ground shouldn't be the problem.

" have a 3 pronged AC adapter, so the ground shouldn't be the problem."
Actually I bet it IS. Try a 3 prone grounding adapter (cheater plug) and let the ground float (leave disconnected). See if your problem doesn't go away. You most likely have a ground loop which I have wrestled with many times in the past with HP laptops. Unless you are sitting in a pool of water or get struck by lightening, you should be just fine 99.99999999% of the time. If you have any other powered external devices connected to the laptop such as hard drives, routers, etc THEY TOO may need to have their grounding floating. Report back your results.

BSOD when plugging into Dynadock U3

Hi There,
We have a wide number of Toshiba Dynadock u3.0's working with a number of Sony Vaio Laptops. In the main they have worked pretty well, and have improved over time as new releases have come out.
At the moment we are rolling out the new Sony Vaio Pro laptops, and Dynadock is almost essential for users because the Vaio Pro's do not have an ethernet adapter. We are also downgrading them to Windows 7 from Windows 8 as we are not ready for Windows 8 on a large rollout, and holding off till 8.1 goes live.
We have had a couple of blue screen of deaths on 2 Vaio Pro's when plugging into the Dynadock. Both have the latest dynadock drivers, and we have obtained the memory dump for the machines. Before they were plugged in, they were on the WLAN in the office.
The other half a dozen devices we have in use at the moment have not yet reported this issue, and the BSOD has appeared on these two devices only once each, but I was asked to report this issue on these forums to just confirm there is no obvious issue with the Dynadocks.
In the meantime we have 3 other Vaio pros which are being tested and have not yet experinced the same issue.

Turning on the laptop when plugged into the dynadock, and he gets a BSOD. I've pasted the bugcheck in below. We are in the process of uninstalling and reinstalling all the drivers, and replacing his dynadock with a known good one to determine if the issue resides with the laptop or not.

IPnone 4s not recognized by Envy dv7-7333cl rnning Windows 8 when plugged into usb port

Laptop does not recognize iPhone 4s when plugged into any of the 4 usb ports. All usb drivers are up to date. All Win 8 and HP udates have been installed and are current. Ports do recognize memory sticks so seem to be working. Is there a special driver needed for iPhone?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hey texasbootz,
I'll have to get you to answer a few questions to understand what is going on exactly:
When the iPhone is plugged into the notebook, does it charge?
When the iPhone is plugged into the notebook, does it show up in device manager?
Is iTunes installed?
If it is not charged when plugged in, it is possible that the cable you are using isn't functioning properly, and you may need a replacement. Or, the iPhone itself is having some issues.
In any case, since other devices are working in all of your USB ports, it is possible that its either a software issue (with the iPhone's drivers) or an issue with the iPhone case. You'll have to contact Apple for support on either of those issues. I'd suggest trying to re/install iTunes, see if that fixes it, then to contact Apple.
Hope this helps!

Charger Buzzes when plugged into the Adapter Converter

Im in England currently (From the USA) and am using a "DYNEX" converter adapter to switch the electric current down so I can plug in/charge my Macbook Pro and iPad.
It works, however the charger buzzes pretty loudly and gets hot.
Thankfully I brought two, one started smelling like melted plastic and stopped charging altogether. That particular charger has faulted at home before (back in the USA), so I'm not sure if it died because of the converter or because it's just faulty.
I have plugged in the newer charger and it also buzzes, but I'm really worried to keep it plugged in because I don't want it to fault out too.
Is it normal for it to buzz like that when plugged into a converter adapter?
Thanks!

The question again, why are you using a voltage converter? The Apple charegers are all rated for 100-240 volts at 0-60 Hz...you only need a plug adapter to convert the US HEMA plug to the UK two round pin plug.
Adding a voltage converter is adding one more failure point into the system.
I have used mine all over Europe with no issues.

Toshiba backup drive not recognized when plugged into thunderbolt display.

My Toshiba backup drive does not mount to my MacBookPro when plugged into my Thunderbolt Display. It works beautifully when plugged directly into my MBP, and other USB devices work beautifully when plugged into the same USB ports on the Thunderbolt Display.
All my equipment is pretty new. The Toshiba is currenlty configured to be my Time Machine back up drive.
Laptop: 15" Macbook Pro, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 100 MHz DDR3, Mac OS 10.8.5
Backup Drive: Toshiba 500GB Canvio® Basics USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive
Apple Thunderbolt Display: 2560 x 1440, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB graphics
When I plug the backup drive into the TB Display, usually nothing happens. The blue light on the drive doesn't come on, and it doesn't mount to the desktop. If I wiggle the USB back there, sometimes the blue light will come on, and sometimes it will mount for a minute then go away. This is true for all 3 USB ports. I have not had problems with any other USB devices, but the only other ones I've plugged into the Thunderbolt are my keyboard, bluetooth headset charger, and other items that probably use less power than the backup drive.

But the cable works when plugged into my laptop. Plus, the cable connection is pretty specific to the device; I'm not sure if you can buy another one seperately.

My iPad2 won't charge when plugged into an outlet.

My iPad 2 won't charge when plugged into an outlet. I've tried 12W and 10W original Apple iPad chargers as well as iPhone 4 chargers. It charges (very slowly) when I plug it into my laptop but I've tried every outlet in my house and at work with no success. So I am stumped as to why it won't work in two completely different locations when plugged into the outlet - because it's obviously not the charger, cable or the iPad batter.
I've tried blowing out dust from the port, resetting my iPad (holding down the home and power buttons at the same time) and jiggling the cable.
Note: I am still on iOS 6 so upgrading my OS isn't the issue.
I would appreciate any assistance with this as it's very frustrating!

If it will charge when connected to the computer, but very slowly, typical of a low power USB port, but will not charge with the chargers you have tried, the issue is then most likely with the chargers. However, to be sure, take the iPad and charger and cable to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test them to see where the problem is occuring.
