My earpods broke, and half of the silver part of the earpods got stuck in the headphone jack of my MacBook Pro. Someone help me please!!!!!

The end part of the earpods broke off, and now part of it is in the headphone jack of my MacBook Pro. The piece of the earpod in the headphone jack is too small and short to just grab it with my finger. I need help please!!!! Thank you to whoever responds.

There is no good way to get it out.
I have successfully used a dental pick kind of tool to extract one. It took a great amount of fiddling, so you must be in a very patient mood.
Others suggest the risky use of a blob of crazy glue to cement a "puller" onto the broken end. The risk, of course, is that if you get any on the jack, you are doomed.
The guys at the genius Bar will sometimes try to get them out. No charge.

The headphone jack on my macbook pro is not working?

There is no red light coming from the jack. I tried resetting my SMC. I used headphones with an external mic and the mic works, but still no sound from the headphones. The computer recognizes when they are plugged in and will switch off the internal speakers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, I'm sorry to hear about your problem, and to me it seems like there will be no cheap fix. As a sound technician i see this issue a lot in different areas. Usually it means either the headphone out port is damaged or the headphones are damaged, and if i was you, i'd pray for the later. If the computer recognizes the plug than it must be a connection somewhere else eliminating the ability to get the sound to the speakers.
Best Regards!

You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

There are a lot of MacBook Pros with the model # A1286 - which year is your model (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
The only place that I know that you might could score a specific logic board is www.ifixit.com. They may be able to ship to your hotel.

How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!

There is no way to bring that up unless you have it typed in a document. You can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

Please elaborate. What do you mean by "start up problems" ? How far does it get?
Chime? Fans? gray screen? Dark Apple? spinner? spinner spins for usual amount of time and screen goes dark? question mark? tones? flashing power light? smoke? what?

If Apple EarPods just randomly decided to break into 2 pieces and get stuck in the headphone jack, will Apple replace or repair the iPad for free?

After I was done listening to some music, I of course puller out the EarPods from the headphone jack. But then I noticed how the tip broke into 2, so half of the tip is stuck in the headphone jack. Since they were Apple EarPods, and I didn't inflict any damage to them, would I receive a free repair or replacement on my iPad?

Are you still under warranty? You're going to have a tough time convincing them it wasn't your fault they broke, I predict. In any case, someone else had a good idea on one of these types of threads: take it to an electronics shop as they probably deal with this situation quite frequently.

I have a 2009 Mac Pro 10.8.3 and half of the time Disc Utility doesn't respond? Any ideas?

I have a 2009 Mac Pro 10.8.3 and half of the time Disk Utility doesn't respond and I have to force quit and restart the machine. Any ideas?

You have some (major) issues.
Are you in Recovery Mode ? Used Option key or Command R to get there?
I would grab the ML installer ESD you saved and do a clean install on another drive and begin to rebuild to a new system.
You may or may not have TimeMachine but have backed up problem files.
Having a bootable backup clone of your system is a must.
Hard shutdowns will add more layers of problems and add to whatever there was before.
Generally there is not a need to use Disk Utility other than to repair permissions either before or after installing updates.
Have you:
tried with everything else unplugged so you don't have any external devices
tried with a safe boot
Why.
After any forced shutdown you should use ML Recovery and one Safe Boot on the first next boot from a working system.

I just downloaded pictures off of a flash drive, and half of the pictures are messed up?

I just downloaded pictures off of my flash drive and half of the picture comes out really oddly.... Example:
Does anyone know what is causing this?

Yes, forgetting the pictures, you desktop background is showing these color issues?
You need to contact Apple for diagnostic / repair. You have a hardware issue with the logic board or logic feeder cable to monitor (unlikely the monitor itself).
You just bought it and its a Retina macbook Pro correct? Never dropped or any water spills?
I was hoping that wasnt it until you said that.
while you STILL CAN see everything (even if off color) backup up ALL VITAL DATA to an external mem stick or hard drive. Documents, pics, working files, etc etc

Printing half on and half off the paper

We purchased the HP Photosmart 6510 yesterday. While the unit will print, it is printing the image half on the page and half off the page on 5x7 paper. How do we get it to consistently print to the center of the sheet so that I am not wasting any more paper?
The 4x6 paper will not print at all- it will only jam and destroy the paper.
Paper type: invitation weight matte paper being fed from the photo tray. Ironically, the 3.5 x 5 images all printed perfectly.
Anyone? Help!

Hi - A couple of things to check. First, make sure that the paper size in both the printer driver (File, Print, Preferences) and the app you're printing from are both set to the appropriate paper size. I'm assuming that is the case if it prints fine on 3.5x5, but can't hurt to double check. Second, sometimes there can be an accumulation of dust on the rollers that can cause the pick rollers to slip initially. Try cleaning those by following the steps in this document. This isn't normal for a new printer, but worth a try.
Hope that helps.
