    Have you checked all the volume settings?  Look under sounds.  You also might want to try doing a soft reset.

    That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!

    Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.  If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.
    Suggest that you take full advantage of the above.

  • Help: won't accept CDs and burning smell from keyboard!

    My girlfriend’s iBook G3 (couldn’t tell you much about it beyond that – except I think it has a 12” screen) simultaneously developed 2 problems. Problem 1 was that when you try to insert a CD, the tray pops straight back out. Problem 2 was that there’s a funny burning kind of smell emanating from the keyboard. I’ve checked under the keyboard but there’s nothing obvious.
    At a guess I’d say a fan was knackered, which is causing it to overheat (hence the smell) and the rejection of the CD is a by-product of that.
    Short of taking it to a service centre and paying a fortune does anyone have any smart ideas for a) checking if it is a knackered fan and b) if it is a knackered fan, fixing it.
    All help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Tom

    Hi, Tom. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The iBook should run perfectly well without a fan. Mine has come on maybe four times in two years. If it overheats without a fan (or even with one), it will start acting weird (may kernel panic) and freeze and/or shut down. If you aren't seeing operating anomalies such as this, I doubt it's a bad fan.
    I would suspect that the optical drive is the entire problem, and may account for the burning smell.
    Would you like to know how to replace it? It is not for the faint-of-heart:

  • Burning Smell, then Smoke from Vent

    So yesterday I was playing this game that my friend convinced me to buy on the Steam Store called "The Binding of Isaac", when I smelled a burning smell. I went downstairs to the kitchen and nothing seemed wrong, so I ignored it thinking it was something outside and went back to the game.
    A few minutes later I smelled it again and looked up to see a puff of white smoke coming from the vent of my iMac. I quickly unplugged it and let it be for a few hours.
    I've been using it very cautiously since yesterday, but everything seems normal. I'm super paranoid now. >.<
    What could have caused it? Our air was off at the time and it was somewhat hot, so could it have been the game (Which I don't think is really that intesive... It's 2D.) + the temperature of the room?
    And mainly, what should I do about it? Continue with normal use? Take it in to get it checked out? (I'd rather not do that as the nearest Apple Store is an hour away) I just got the iMac in December and it's the first Mac I've ever owned, I rather not say goodbye to it so soon.

    A strong possibility is that one or more electrolytic capictors blew out.  What you saw may have been steam from the cap dying.  It may continue to work but there has been some damage that should be repaired so that one problem does not cascade into multiple problems.
    Check your warranty status and if you did not purchase AppleCare when you bought the computer you must buy it while your normal warranty is still in effect.  That is one year from the date or purchase.  AppleCare provides fopr three years total of coverage. Otherwise you only have the one year coverage on your hardware.
    Seven or eight years ago a supplier of these style caps changed their electrolyte formula.  The caps ran okay for a couple of years but then started blowing out,  When they did any numbver of problems would appear from bad video to shutting down and not powering up.  The last series of the old Power PC chipped iMacs suffered from this capacitor plague.  The problem has since been corrected but, like anything, it is possible that a cap in your system may have slide by quality control and now you see the results.
    You may want to call AppleCare and see if on-site repair coverage is available for your system.  Look at the Apple Support web page to send an Express Lane case with AppleCare to schedule getting a call from AppleCare.  The number is 800-APL-CARE or the web site is: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • IMac G5 burning smell

    I just recently found my iMac to be emitting a burning wire smell. So I turned it off for the night. The next morning, when I turned it on, it made a crackle sound and then the horrible burning smell. I turned it off and took it to an apple authorized repair store. They shipped it in to be diagnosed and repaired. They found it to be the power supply, supposedly repaired it and charged me over $150.00 bucks! I sometimes still get the burning smell. I recently have come across literally thousands of postings on the problems that everyone is having with these iMacs!!! Why hasn't apple fessed up to these problems and done something. Now, today, I find a link to the iMac Repair and replacement site. Why didn't Apple send emails warning iMac owners to this danger? We are all registered. This could have caused a major fire in my home. Not to mention, I had to pay for repairs!!!! What is happening at Apple?

    Greetings Catluver:
    I truly hope that Mr. Jobs himsilf or his PA (personal assistant) is reading this site and particularly your post.
    I started with Apple when Steve was in his garage first designing the Apple I...... I still own my Apple II+ and IIe. I drifted to the Wintel side when Apple no longer would support the II series of computers. I absolutely love Apple and all their unique products BUT....I have a similar issue which raises serious CONCERN.
    My son has an iMac G5, 1.8, 17" which started to develope some screen problems (red verticle pixel line from top to bottom of the screen) BEFORE our 1 year warranty was up. The problem was that it would come and go. Since I did not spend much time on that computer, I did not think anything of it AT FIRST.
    I wrote to this forum without any response. I went to my local Apple authorized dealer (CompUSA). Their quote for "fixing" my 17" LCD screen was an astounding $1100. My son's heart as well as my own about dropped to the floor. Needless to say, I decided to possibly live with most annoying red line when it would appear.
    As I just started to produce (author) some DVD's with iDVD 6, I noticed that the red line would ONLY appear after the computer would be on for awhile. KNOWING FULL WELL how HEAT affects electronics, I decided to feel the edges and back of the screen. WOW!......the screen was VERY hot..... I decided to try an experiment where I would keep a FAN (an 8" portable FAN like you would find at WalMart, etc.) blowing on the back of the iMac G5. GUESS WHAT? NO MORE red line regardless of how long you keep this computer on.
    Apple iMac G5 Design Flaw:
    The Apple iMac G 5's (We received ours in 12/04) have a SERIOUS HEAT problem which affects the other internal components. The Apple engineers I believe screwed up on this one. In a laptop design, the screen lifts away from the greatest heat producing sources (CPU, Hard Drive, & Video Card).
    THE SOLUTION:
    I tried figuring out a way to keep my iMac G5's internal fan on ALL the time. I can hear it cycle on and off. I assume the engineers were worried about noise. Guess what? I would rather hear noise from an efficient INTERNAL fan anyday rather than have to cool my iMac down with a fan from WalMart.
    BTW catluver......If your power supply did overheat.....even if it was replaced, I would worry about what other internal hardware it may have affected. The bottom line is that the iMacG5 has a cooling design problem. I believe that a more efficient internal fan or one that would run constantly would fix the problem.
    For Mr. Jobs: Would you care to restore my faith in Apple and have my son's iMacG5 "repaired", (just keep the fan on longer) or replaced (by a possibly newer design) at your cost? Schools around here are using Wintel machines. The reason my son first became interested in Apple was because before the Wintel machines, the school had older Macs.....whatever kind with the clear/colored cases. If you want to keep the future generation buying Apple, you may want to make sure you back your product. YES..! I could have sent it in during the warranty period...however the problem would NOT have shown up for your 1 minute bench test.
    Good Luck With Disney....Hopefully you can restore my faith there too. Ever since Walt passed it has never been the same....if you know what I mean.

  • My ipod touch burns up when it is charging or sometimes when i play games at the same time it charges. why is this and what can i do to stop it? please help!!!

    HELLO! I have an Ipod Touch thats 32 gb, and its the really old one without the camera. ( im sorry i dont know which generation it is, but i bought it in 2010. ) Anyways, I've had this Ipod for almost 3 years now, and it still works pretty good. The thing im really worried about is that recently, my Ipod has started to overheat, meaning when i touch it, its almost burning. This happens when I charge it, or when I play games on it while charging the Ipod. When i remove the charger, it stops burning/overheating and goes back to normal. Why does this keep happening? Also, what can I do to stop it? please help!!!
    Thankyou!

    J.K. ROFLing  is correct. It is normal for the iPod to get quire warm when charging and during heavy use.. If concerned make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iphone4 has been stuck on the connect to itunes logo for a few hours.I connect it to itunes and it says that the iphone is on recovery mode and that I need to restore it to use it with itunes.I'm afraid that if I restore it I will loose everything help

    My iphone4 has been stuck on the connect to itunes logo for a few hours. I connected it to itunes and it says that the iphone is on recovery mode and that I need to restore it to use it with itunes. I'm afraid that if I restore it I will loose everything help please!!

    AT this point whatever data you have on yoru phone is already gone since it is in recovery mode. 
    However you can restore from your backup, when your phone reboots from recovery.
    YOu do have a backup right?

  • Burning smell with g5?  Maybe coming from keyboard?

    I am getting a persistent burning smell, like burning pastic?, from my keyboard, I think.  this has been going on a long time.  Nothing feels hot to the touch. I have changed the extension cable, no improvement.  Anyone?

    Just on the off chance, I would take the keyboard in to an Apple retail store, ask them to plug it in and check for the smell. You never know.
    Be sure to make an appointment before you go in, or you might spend a long time waiting to talk to a Mac Genius.
    Best of luck.

  • My computer does not eject the disc after it has been burned.

    I understand that my computer is supposed to automatically eject a disc after it has been burned. Mine doesn't. Instead, I hear a "Plonk," which I assume is announcing that the burning process has been completed.
    First of all, is it true that the disc is supposed to be ejected after the burn has been completed? Secondly, how can I restore that function?

    To clarify...are you importing songs from a CD into iTunes, or are you burning songs from iTunes onto a blank CD? If it's the former, iTunes won't eject it...you'll just hear a chime or noise when it's done. If it's the latter it should eject.
    For the second poster, it sounds you are importing. In which case, you will just hear the sound when importing is finished and you eject the CD yourself.
    Just to make sure that I understand you correctly, here's what I did: Imported songs from website. They were in RealPlayer format. I then converted the song files into MP3 format, and put them into my iTunes music library. Finally, I put the songs in a New Smart Playlist, and burned them into a blank disc.
    Given this situation, should I expect the disc to automatically eject when the burning is competed? If so, what do I have to do to get it to work properly?

  • On start up - loud pop, burning smell, dead Mac.  Help, please!

    This morning when my wife tried to fire up her heretofore reliable G5, there was what she described as first a popping sound followed by the smell of something burning. The smell went away quickly, but the computer now seems to be dead. My guess after looking through the forum is the power source. But having learned the hard way about making assumptions I'd like to run it by people (this forum) who know a lot more about my Mac than I do!
    Does this sound like a power source issue, and if not what else can it be? Assuming the power source is the problem, how do I determine the correct replacement? I know the computer is a G5 2.0, but I'm not sure of production date, etc. that I might need to know to get the right replacement. Finally, where is the best place to get a replacement power source, hopefully without paying more than the value of the machine?
    As always, thanks in advance for any help and advice you all can give me!

    OK, before we go any farther, is the flat-liner G5 liquid cooled?
    Actually, specific model information would probably help. Remove the big side panel and look at the tiny label at the bottom of the side of the computer. That will have, among other things, the serial number and some information as to the configuration of the computer when shipped. Using the serial number, you can get more specific information on the unit at
    http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html
    (It also appears that the first three digits in the serial number conform to the year and week of production. (310 means tenth week of 2003, for instance).
    Usually, a popping sound followed by a burning smell means a capacitor. Those who have experienced such over the years recognize the smell of cooked electrolyte, as opposed to the smell of roasted magnet-wire varnish that accompanies a transformer failure.
    While the power supply is the most-likely culprit, it could be a cap on the logic board or a PCI or video card. The good news is that such failures are usually easy to spot by visual inspection. That being said, not all capacitors are visible, like, for instance, everything in the power supply assembly.
    While it would probably be relatively easy for an experienced person to diagnose, it probably is not something for the inexperienced to tackle.
