On my iPhone 4 the sound is all scratchy when listening through earbuds or dock.  Its any sound, music, utube videos.  If I play it through the iPhone speaker or from bluetooth it sounds fine.  It just started about 3 weeks ago.  Any suggestions?

In the last three weeks my iPhone 4 (OS 5.1.1) the sound became all scratchy when listening through the ear buds of if I dock it.  The sound is fine listening to it from the iPhone speakers or in my car through bluetooth.  Please remember its all sound.  Whether its music, utube or a phone call.  Any suggestions?

Mini Man, I'm glad to read you found a solution to your issue, but I don't know if your solution is going to be mine as well.
For starters, I do not have the new Apple TV - at least, not yet. I have ordered one, but it will not be delivered until some time next week (sneering glance at Steve & Co. for abandoning that platform rather than making it AirPlay compatible).
But that is not really my issue: my issue is that my two Airport Express units do NOT show up in the iPhone, though the DO show up on my iPad. This tells me they have been properly configured (both units have names, and are connected to the house network), so there must still be something missing from the equation.
And, judging from the response of a few others who have chimed in here, I think it's save to say that the experience is not altogether uncommon.
I'm surprised nobody has come back with a more direct solution to the common issue. I may have to call AppleCare someday this week...

    I'm assuming you have this locked on a carrier...Did you take it to the carrier store and see what they say? You could try a restore but that most likely won't help...Sounds like maybe you have an upgrade in your future....

  • I'm getting an smtp address error when I send an email so none of my outgoing emails are getting sent.  This just started about 3 weeks ago.  How do I fix this?

    None of my emails are being sent. I'm getting an error about my smt address being incorrect but I don't know how to correct it or why it's suddenly wrong. This started about 3 weeks ago but I just realized it today. Can anyone help me figure this out?

    Contact your service provider.
    I have Verizon FiOS service and this month, Verizon migrated their service over to a more secure service that uses SSL and different port numbers. As a result, the old mail configuration became obsolete and if it's not changed gives the same error that you are describing. Verizon's customer support page notes the changes (and they've been sending out e-mails).

  • I can't sync my iPhone 5 in iTunes. This just started about 3 weeks ago???

    I bought my iPhone 5 on 11-7-12, 12:25:25 p.m., from the AT&T store in Norman, OK. Everything has been fine, up until about three weeks ago, around the time that the 6.0.2 iOS update was sent out. I don't *know* that that is what is causing the problem. But when I connect my iPhone to my computer, on *ANY* of the USB ports, it isn't recognized in iTunes. The iPhone "chirps" and the battery will charge, while connected to the laptop, but the iPhone doesn't show up in iTunes, and when I click on "Devices," -- "Sync," "Transfer Purchases," "Backup," and "Restore from Backup -- are all "greyed out," and therefore, I can't click on them. My iOS has since been updated to iOS 6.1.
    Many thanks,
    Quinn Carr

    To German 123: Thank you for the link, but that is the first thing I did, however, the iphone 5 is not being recognized as even being connected. So therefore, no device registers in that category. I have re-downloaded itunes, but to no avail. All iTunes updates are current. This is very frustrating. Also, I have turned off WiFi in case that was the interference. No luck. Grrrrrrr...........My problelm is exactly like "themightyquinn39"'s problem. I have had my iphone since it came out last fall. This must be an update problem through Apple. They always seem to fix something that isn't broken.

  • Web sites will not fully load. MSNBC, Fox and CNN load a partial page or load a text only version. this issue just started about a week ago.

    Some news web sites will not fully load. MSNBC will only show the head line and advertisers. CNN and Fox show a text only version with very limited pictures and the same for . Durdge report loads fully as will the Chicago Trib. seems like only certain news sites are subject to this partial display. have not seen this on commercial sites.

  • My Apple TV2 keeps resetting when watching NETFLIX. This started about one week ago. I can watch fine from my MAC. Both are hardwired to my Aiport network..

    My Apple TV2 keeps resetting when watching NETFLIX. This started about one week ago. I can watch fine from my MAC. Both are hardwired to my Aiport network.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Starting about a week ago, my cursor changes from an arrow to a 4-pointed star shape and moves erradically and won't scroll up or down.

    Starting about a week ago, my cursor changes from a plain arrow to a 4-pointed star. It also moves by itself and I cannot control it. It makes it VERY hard to scroll up or down, and it stops scrolling every so often.

    Hi Krist, <br />Sorry you are having problems.
    It is a while mow since I used XP, I do not remember a 4 pointed star option for the cursor.
    *Is this only on Firefox?
    If other programs are affected it is something to do with Windows XP or software installed on that.
    If it is only on Firefox then as an initial step try in Firefox's safe mode with all plugins disabled. You may start safemode by using
    * Help -> Restart with addons disabled
    ** see also [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    * and [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]

  • Printing error in yahoo finance. I have to go to I.E. to print. This started about a week ago.

    When I try to print a stock portfolio in Yahoo Finance I get an icon at the bottom of the page taking me to "library. documents" on my hard drive and asking me to save the "xps" file. This started about a week ago. I have to go to I.E. to print the list.

    Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using '''one''' of the following steps:
    *Hold down the ''Shift'' key and click the ''Reload'' button with a left click.
    OR
    *Press ''Ctrl'' + ''F5'' or ''Ctrl'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Windows and Linux)

  • Why Do I have to load adobe Flashplayer each time I switch my computer off and on again this only started about 2 weeks ago is it a firefox problem or an adobe issue????

    Why Do I have to load adobe Flashplayer each time I switch my computer off and on again this only started about 2 weeks ago is it a firefox problem or an adobe issue. I am using adobe Flashplayer ver 11

    This is a good question. It's possible your Xserver isn't configured for the correct mouse type. Try logging into a command line console (no X11 running). Run /usr/bin/X11/X -configure. It should create an Xorg configuration file in your root directory.
    Copy this to /etc/X11/Xorg.conf and try restarting your Xserver. The file it creates might require some tweaking.

  • My imac freezes , need to restart everytime i wake it from sleep mode. just started happening 2 weeks ago.

    For about 2 weeks whenever I return to my imac and tap the mouse to wake it from sleep mode my screen is frozen. I have tried to wait for it to unfreeze but it doesnt wake. I cannot get any results from using the mouse or the keyboard. I always have to hard reset the computer to be able to use computer again. My mac is a year old. Anyone have any thoughts as to why tis is happening? Thanks

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
