Phone thinks there is a headphone attached, but there isn't.
My 3G phone "thinks" there is a headphone attached, but there isn't. I cannot hear calls coming in, and if I call someone I cannot hear them, nor can they hear me. When I click on the volume button on the side it says "headphone" when it should say "ringer". Occasionally it says something I have not seen before: "ringer" and with "headphones" in parentheses underneath.
But I can make calls fine with a headphone plugged in.
I also notice that music is playing on iTunes all the time, when I have not turned it on.
I have talked with an Apple iPhone tech person, and we have tried most things we could think of, including a total restore. After the restore I got it to work for a few minutes, then it went right back to thinking there was a headphone attached when there isn't.
Any ideas out there?? Other than my having to buy a new phone?
Thanks!
Lint or fluff is a frequent problem, even if you don't think there could be much in there. The best way to remove it is to switch off the iPhone and then use a needle to excavate. Naturally you should not poke blindly. This is a far more effective method than using canned air. See this thread for examples: discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9128049 and you may be surprised at what you can extract!

Anybody know how to get my phone from ringing through the head set outlet? There are no headphones attached to the phone and when I try to adjust volume it comes up ringer(headphones). Any help would be great!
I just had this problen after a rain storm and read to take a deep ( or several) deep breaths in from the headphone jack to dry it out. This was the only thing that worked for me! Read of sveral otheres doing this as well. It took several deep, long breaths in before it worked.

Won't get juno mail messages says there are no new messages but there are.
I installed Thunderbird for my multiple email accounts. Works fine with yahoo, aol, and Gmail. But, it will not get any messages from my web based Juno account. I've double checked all the settings (pop incoming, port 995, smpt outgoing, SSL encryption, etc.) and nothing works. I keep getting a message saying there are no new messages, but there are multiple new messages in the account. It does send.
ThanksThunderbird connects to mail providers using the POP and IMAP mail protocols. If the provider does not support these protocols (or blocks access to them for certain customers) then Thunderbird can not work with that provider.
Have you followed these steps
To begin getting Juno email on your phone or other email program, change your Juno email settings with these simple steps:
1. Sign in to your Juno Email on the Web at webmail.juno.com
2. Click on "Options" and select "General," or click on "Settings" and select "POP Mail" under "Preferences"
3. Select "ON - POP my mail to my desktop/smartphone"
4. Click "Save" to finish

Acrobat X Pro won't save document b/c it thinks a file is already open, but it isn't
I get an error message when I try to save a pdf. It says that it couldn't save the file because it is already open, but there's no other pdf file open.
What is causing Acrobat to think that more than one file is open when there is only one file open?No, I'm running Windows XP.
The only thing open is Acrobat and the explorer window box that appears when you want to save a file.
It appears to me that Acrobat is still accessing data from a file that was previously open but is no longer open.
How do I make it so that Acrobat sees only the file(s) that are actually open and not files that have been closed?
My only way to work around this problem is to completely close Acrobat and then relaunch it in order to do what I need to do. Very inefficient. -

My IMAC recognise an external drive but won't let me save video or files to it. Error message is that there is not enough space but the drive is 500G.
Only just started happening a week ago. Same with USB drives.

The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.

My Imac has discovered my wireless speakers but cannot connect because it ask me to remove my headphones which are not connected, can any one help?
Will you're iMac play music through the internal speakers or does it give you the same error?
I ask because most (all?) Macs these days use a combo optical analog jack for headphones which means that there's a tiny switch inside that can get stuck. I've never heard of a problem just like yours (which could be a bluetooth issue) but I have had similar issues on my wife's Macbook.
If you get the same error, or can't play music out of the internal speakers then try inserting re-inserting a headphone plug a few times. If you do a few Google searches you can find additional info. -
After 4.4.2 upgrade can't answer the phone when it rings. There is a screen with a phone handset in gray, but it doesn't respond to tapping on the screen.

We definitely want you to answer your phone calls! Let's get this back up and running for you. Which make/model phone is having this trouble? If you power off and back on, does anything change? Are you able to make calls okay?

TS1630 My I phone5 is showing headphone attached when there is no headphone attached

Option 1: Verify that you have no bluetooth speaker or headset paired (turn bluetooth off).
Option 2: There is something stuck in the headphone jack. Gently tap the phone against your palm / blow into the headset port to see if you can dislodge anything.

I have a 3g iPhone and I need to know how to delete old photos. Need to free up space and there is no clear way to delete these photos!! Can someone please let me know how to get rid of these pictures!!!! Help!!!
There are a number of ways to delete pictures from the Camera Roll. One is to open Camera Roll in the thumbnail view, tap the arrow button (top right), tap all the pictures you want to delete, tap the Delete button ant the bottom. Photo Library pictures are deleted by unchecking Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, followed by syncing your phone.

There were some issues with the internet connection here, but last night it was downloading. I left it running like that and this morning it says 'Installed'. Without me doing anything? That's weird.
When I check 'About this Mac' it says 10.6.8.
The AppStore OS X Lion page states Lion is 'installed' so then there's about nothing more you can do there. I'm wondering what to do?
I'm abroad, so I can't reach the helpdesk in my own country and my french is not advanced enough to explain this kind of magic.
Any help would be appreciated.. thanks, kind regards,
MaartenOk, I'm stupid.
Found another thread about this and typing 'install OS X Lion' in spotlight did the job.

Hi,
could please help me of the folloing issue
i have set up the firefox is default browser in my local system.
issue with only .html type files not with .doc .... etc.
my application requirement is to view the attached document if set Content-Disposition as "attachement" then open the dialog box with open or save radio options then if i select the open option data getting as junk data not the actual data.
if set Content-Disposition as "inline"' then file open in same accessing browser with proper data.
Note
i am using following piece of code in my application
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\""
+ fileName + "\"");
actual my case is :
some where in my application i copy/paste the data from ms-word
then it saved as .html file after that when i want to see the data, then click on the attachment it opens dialog box, here i am selecting open option then it opens in my default browser "firefox" with junk data .
please observe the following junk data,Hi 20fox12, this is most likely an IE problem. Firefox has no effect on any other installed applications. Unfortunately I have no idea what to do about your issue. I'd suggest a forum that is more tuned towards Windows issues.
