My sound always makes this funny like hissing sound is that because my screen is cracked?

will some one plz help me find out wether its because my screen is cracked or weather its just the general ipod thats making the sound do a funny kinda hissing sound when i have the volume no matter if its my musicc or wot it does it
some one please explain to me it would be a big help i dont fancy payin for screen fixin to fix ma sound and it been nothig to do with that.

First of, are you playing this through a pair of earphones? If yes, your pair of earphones is probably busted already. Try playing with the plug and see if moving or positioning it would eliminate the hissing sound.
It can also be a matter with the tracks you have especially if they are not original content as there could be ones with low quality which in turn gives some weird sound you hear on the background.

Is there a way that to make text look like it is being written on the screen?

I once saw a tiltle (using the font edwardian script) that looked like it was being written on the screen.
I tried using the linear wipe transition, but this does not make the full effect i want.. for instance, when you make a letter "t" in cursive, you start at the bottom, then go up and then down and finally cross the "t". the wipe just went from left to right....
thanks

I have done this for several Titles, using Photoshop and a Layer Mask, that gets "erased," revealing the letters. My Titles were of "handwriting with chalk" on a blackboard, so I could keep the edge of that Layer Mask, looking more like the "chalk." Photoshop also makes it easy to output Layer Comps for each "step" in the handwriting process. IIRC, I did about 5 Frames per Layer Comp on Import, but do not recall if I used an extremely short Cross-Dissolve Transition between those - I intened to do so, but just do not remember if I liked that, or went with just the Still Images? Will try to find that animation, and maybe create a full tutorial of the process. In my case, I also added an SFX of chalk on a chalkboard.
If you have Photoshop, it's really quite easy to pull off.
Now, I do not know if Photoshop Elements has Layer Masks yet, which make it so very easy to accomplish. One could do it backward, where the Text Layer gets Erased, and then one would have their full Image as the last in the sequence, and then the next would have a little bit of the Text removed, then a bit more, then a bit more - going backward, until the "writing surface" is clean. One could also do this with a Transparent Background, so that one saw the Video below, and no actual "writing surface" visible.
Good luck,

Always Use This IP Address

All my devices connected to the router is using DHCP except from my satellite receiver that is using a static IP, devices connected via ethernet cable is set to 'Always use this IP address' and devices connected via wireless is set to No to 'Always use this IP address' option.
Is that the correct way?

Casterina wrote:
By correct I mean, set Yes to 'Always use this IP address' for wired devices and set No to wireless devices?
Doesn't matter which, its personal choice how you like your network to be set up
Also using DHCP with Always use this IP address option is just the same as a static IP?
Yes and no. For a true static IP, the IP address needs to be set on the device itself not on the router.

I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen

I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen.

Go to System Preferences>Sound>Output and make sure that you selected the right output. I think if yo use HDMI you might not be abe to select another output.

Just restored my iPhone from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?

Just restored my iPhone 5 from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop? We had it all set up fine before the restore, and there was a trick to it in the settings. I've noticed that since my restore, her phone has picked up what looks like the symbol of a phone in the upper right corner of the display, right next to the Bluetooth symbol.

Hi Big Slick,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like your iPhones may be using a new feature in iOS 8 called Continuity. The following article and information explains how to set up this feature for phone calls. You can review the information on the setup to reverse this effect. My suggestion would be to turn off FaceTime on one of the devices.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
Phone calls
With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
Cheers,
Joe

IPad Loudspeaker hiss when using an app with sound. Is this normal?

Is it normal when an app that uses sound is launched (even the keyboard causes it) a very faint hiss sound is emitted from the iPad speaker? It is not constant either, only occurs when it's about to make a sound and for 5-6 seconds afterwards.
It is not loud, only fairly faint and can only be heard when the room is silent or you place your ear near the speaker.
Is this normal?

Hi,
Yes it's only minor and I have tried resetting which has no effect.
For example, when I open up mail or safari and then the keyboard pop's up it has a faint hiss from the speaker which then disappears after 5 seconds until I press a key of which then triggers it to reappear. It sounds like the audio amplifier running the internal speaker has some hiss and to save battery life it turns the speaker off when it isn't needed (hence why it disappears after 4-5 seconds).
It is only noticeable in a very quiet room and I guess it doesn't help that I have fantastic hearing.
I guess it's no big problem and it doesn't happen when I use headphones but it's just something I'd like to check in case it's the sign of a fault.
Thank you for your response red555, much appreciated.

Hiss, hissing sound in speaker sets like the MegaWorks 550

Over the years, I noticed that my MegaWorks 550 started hissing more and more. For anyone interested, i want to share my quest to find the cause.
First of all, i looked on this forums. There were several useful posts.

Based on these, I mailed customer service for some more information. Their mails were annoyingly useless. On top of that, they actually removed above mentioned posts from their forums! Here's a small summary of the mail conversation with customer support. It's so stupid, that it's actually fun to read:
ME:
Dear Creative, [...] my MegaWorks 550 [...] has a clearly audible hiss. [...] This hiss is also present when no inputs are connected and independent of volume level. The level of hiss is equal on all five sattelite speaker connections, even when objectively measured with an oscilloscope. [...] I know the MegaWorks 550 is farbeyond the warranty, but i am a trained technician and capable of replacing any part. Could you please give a hint as to what causes this hiss? Kind regards [...]
CREATIVE:
[...] To reduce static or buzzing noise from speakers, avoid placing speaker cables next to computer monitors, TV, an AC adapter, or any chargers for MP3 players or cell phones, etc. These devices have a strong field, which may interfere with speakers.
Hissing Sound http://support.creative.com/kb/showa...aspx?sid=64810 [...]
(duh, i already mentioned that it is independent of any inputs and also present with nothing connected)
ME:
[...]Dear Creative, Thank you for your answer. I read the support solution you pointed to, and i also read about eight different threads about this on your forum, suggesting several causes. I've tested the 550 in an electromagnetic Farady cage and with no inputs attached. The hiss remains constant on each of the five outputs and independent of the volume level.
It must be a problem in the electrical circuit. Since this is a very prevalent problem, I hope there's a technician at Creative who know the cause. It would be great if they could explain which capacitors or connections typically need to be replaced or resoldered to remove the hiss.
I'm, of course, very aware that the warranty of the 550 is expired, i would just really appreciate some hints on how to fix it myself. It would be friendly to the environment, to my wallet and to your reputation! [...]

ME:
Dear Creative,
I would expect a €450,- speaker set like the Megaworks 550 to last longer than the three years it did before it started hissing. However, it's beyond the warranty period, so i'm not asking for any official warranty. But surely the least Creative could do, is help me fix it myself.
I just need to know which capacitors to replace to fix it, probably somewhere in the power supply. I know that a lot of sets were sent back because of the issue, so surely there is a technician from Creative that can pinpoint the cause. PLEASE!
CREATIVE:
Thank you for getting back to us.
I'm really sorry but currently we don't provide any out of warranty repairment services.
We're unable to help you in this situation.
If you still require assistance, please reply to this email and include any previous correspondence to ensure a quick response.
ME:
Dear Creative,
I'm not asking for a repair service. I want to fix it myself. I know that a lot of people sent their Megaworks 550 back because of this issue, so there are people within creative who know what causes it. Please, I just need to know which capacitor to replace. I wont contact you after that, even if the repair goes wrong or anything.

We apologize if this is not accommodating your need and your cooperation in this regard is appreciated.
So... i opened the case and did some more experiments. I used a variable voltage. The hiss was indeed dependent on the voltage. Since it was not dependent on inputs or volume level and present on all five speaker outputs, i came to the following
CONCLUSIONS:
- the hiss is most likely caused by the final stage of the power supply unit
- specifically: decay of one or more of the 10 capacitors in there
- this is caused by creative using capacitors of a barely sufficient capacity (too cheap). Once they decay the become insufficient.
- communicating with the customer service is a fun, but not very rational process
Perhaps i'll replace the capacitors. If i do, i might share pictures and keep you updated. Please respond if there's anyone out there who would appreciate that.

When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but not hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro and isight camera, mike combo.
If I use google it works. If I use Ichat, it works. If I use skype it works.

This sounds like something similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112?start=105&tstart=0.
Try turning down the speak volume (System Preferences->Sound->Output->Output Volume) or the microphone gain (System Preferences->Sound->Input->Input Volume). Do this on both sides of the call.

Hello SMEvans32
You can use iCloud to share the Calendar, that way she will always be up to date on that particular section of your work calendar. If you want to use iCloud, I would recommend backing up so you have a safe copy of your data.

I use Final Cut Pro X to make YouTube videos. The sound is great when I watch the videos on certain computers, but muffled on others. How do I fix this?

You don't. You can't control how other computers or browsers play back the footage. The best you can do is export a master file that plays great on your computer. What youTube does with it, or how other computers play it back is out of your hands.
Just like me with broadcast TV shows. I deliver the most pristine version I can to the network. But then they convert it to a digital file that they then beam out to cable and satellite providers, who then compress it again to play on their systems. And then it arrives at grandma's house and plays on her TV. I have no control how my grandma receives the signal, nor how her TV is set up. Unless I am nice and tweak things when I go visit. But I can't do this at every house that might want to watch my show.

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

I have a spare Apple display screen an would like to make this a second screen for my iMac, would like some help on how to do this

I have a spare Apple display screen and would like to make this a second scren for my iMac,
would like to have some ideas on how to do this
laro.t

First format the drive to OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored:
Next drag your iPhoto library from your Pictures folder to the EHD. When the copying is complete launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and in the window that comes up select the library on the EHD:
Check the file path under the window to make sure the correct library has been selected.
Once you've confirmed that the EHD library is working properly and has all of your photos you can delete the library in your Pictures folder.
