My iPad built in speakers was making some kind of static clicking noise, should i be worried?

I was on my iPad (iPad 4th Generation) when I started hearing some kind of clicking sound like the sound you hear when someone touches you with static electricity, this happened every time I touched the screen to type. it also happened when I played and paused music (only clicked once for playing and pausing music). Also when I played music it sounded like only the left side of the speaker was playing the music therefore there was no right side of the music, basically it wasn't playing the song in stereo and I could only hear one side of the song. However it stopped when I fiddled with the side volume buttons, now it hasnt happned again, but I'm still worried.

Intermittent power problems are usually a sign of something about to go wrong. Get your machine in to a Genius Bar (or other Authorized Apple Service Provider) to have it checked out. In the meantime go to Disk Utility and check the SMART status. It might tell you that nothing is wrong but it can't hurt to look. A logic board issue could be looming for you. The loud (screeching) noise usually signals a HD problem. On-again / off-again behavior is not uncommon when something is on its way to dysfunction.

HELP! My ipad screen is showing some kind of "snowy-white noise TV effect" it looks kind of "grainy". This happened when i was reading a pdf an zooming in for a better view, now this "snowy, grainy" screen is also showing up in the home screen...This ipad is new, about 2 weeks with no drops or accidents whatsoever... I'm thinking of replacing it... responses greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
but it is possible youhave a hardware defect and will need to return it.

A friend uses Firefox and the other day it unexpectedly popped up and said it was making some changes. From then till now, he is unable to get email or send email or access the internet. Is there a virus or a fake Firefox look alike? What should he do?

I'm making some kind of back-up error

I need to back up my mail regularly. I've been doing that by making a mart burn folder and dragging the mail folder from the library of my home folder to it. I've also been dragging that Mail folder to outboard drives. It seems like that's not working when I want to import mailboxes back into my Mail app, because, even though (in Mail) I go to file..import mailboxes, then try both import for Mac OSX and also trying "other", I select the location and choose the folder that contains the files (Mail) I always get the same message which is no valid files were found! What the heck. I've tried option-dragging, plain dragging, dragging to the desk top, and I always get the same message that there's nothing to import. What am I doing wrong??
I've noticed that the suffix of the individual messages in the mailboxes is .emix, and those of the mail folders themselves are .imappmbox.
I really would like to know the right way to back up my mail so I can restore it in an emergency. The section called Backing up your email in the Mail help section isn't explaining it to me. I have no POP accounts I use, only the IMAP one from .Mac.

I don’t know what is a “mart burn folder”, but it should be no surprise that you have problems importing .imapmbox mailboxes — they correspond to mailboxes stored on the server, and hence, may or may not contain a local copy of the messages in a format that Mail may or may not be able to import the way it can import locally stored .mbox mailboxes...
It happens that, if Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Keep copies of messages for offline viewing is set to All messages and their attachments (the default setting), then Mail 2.x caches server-stored mailboxes using the exact same format it uses for locally stored mailboxes, except the suffix of the mailbox folder in the filesystem is .imapmbox instead of .mbox.
Hence, if Keep copies of messages for offline viewing was set to All messages and their attachments throughout the lifetime of the mailboxes (or since before the last rebuild), .imapmbox mailboxes can be imported back into Mail as if they were locally stored mailboxes by just renaming them so that the suffix is .mbox instead of .imapmbox — note that this wasn’t possible in Mail 1.x; that version used entirely different formats for .mbox and .imapmbox mailboxes.
Note also that, after doing File > Import Mailboxes and choosing Mail for Mac OS X, Mail wants you to select the folder that contains the mailboxes to be imported (i.e. the folder where the .mbox folders to be imported reside), not the .mbox folders themselves nor the Messages folders within them. If you select the wrong folder, Mail says “No valid Mail for Mac OS X files were found” because it cannot find any .mbox folders within the folder you’re selecting.

Speakers making static clicking noise

Hi Osirisrat, Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Mini 311-1037NR and sound issues. Here is a link to resolving your Audio. Hope this helps. Thanks.

My iPads speakers are making wierd noises

the sound on my iPad has been acting weird, making a robotic and scratchy sound to every noise which comes out of my iPads built in speakers. It has been happening for a few months but sometimes it would work than a few days/weeks later it would go weird again, I got my iPad replaced 3 times (for other reasons) but the issue is on all iPads, I have tried restarting it but all it does is turn the sound completely off, I even reset the iPad yet nothing happened. I have an iPad 2 newest version it does it with and without the cover, all games, music, sound have the same issue. My warranty has expired a few days ago so I will not get it replaced. Thanks if you can answer my question.

iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.
 Cheers, Tom

Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474.

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

My pages documents on my ipad wont sync to icloud. Some documents have had the upload icon on them for over a month. It was all working fine but now I cant figure out what is going on.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

IPad mini built-in speakers problem

I've been using my new iPad mini for a while, but I'm only recently noticing a potential fault on it. I wonder how you guys make of it.
It's about the built-in speakers. Even when the volume isn't turned all the way up, the sounds coming from the speakers start to "crack" (or, in more technical terms, "clip"). I turned to Garageband and used the panning feature and found out one side "cracks" much easier (as in "cracks" start in lower volume) than the other one. The non-"cracking" side often don't "crack" at all even when the volume is turned all the way up. Do you think it's normal for all iPad mini's small speakers? Or should I be asking for a repair/exchange?

Try to reset your device.
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
Aditionally, try to to reset your settings (make note of what they currently are to easily re-enter them after the reset):
Settings>General>Reset All Settings (this will NOT affect music, data, apps or otherwise)

Equium A100-306: built-in speakers do not play some sounds

I have had my A100-306 for 2 weeks, and my built-in speakers do not play some sounds. This problem has only arisen over the last few days. When I go through the control panel to speaker settings it says there is no speakers.
Can any one advise me as to what to do to fix this problem?

Very strange
I think you should check several possibilities:
- connect the headphones and check if you can hear the sound through the headphones.
- Please check the device manger. Do you see any yellow exclamation marks???
Try to remove the sound card and remove the sound driver.
After new reboot try to reinstall the sound driver again.
- On the notebook the Realtek HD sound effect manager should be installed.
Please check there the settings.

Hi i was doing some a to my ipaD AND NOW I WOULD NOT LET ME DO ENYTHING IT APEARS AN ITUNES ICON

hi I was doing some actualiction to my ipad and know I would not let me do

Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.
