Post when a REAL solution to headphone issue is released

I've had the same problem as everyone when using the shuffle for running. I think there are enough posts to validate this as a design flaw.
Would someone (maybe from Apple) post here when Apple releases a REAL solution. (Not a duct tape, saran wrap, cotton ball temporary "fix", but a real permanent solution.)
Thanks,

Good to hear new buds working well.. Still think controls s/b added to device so when your waiting for APPLE to replace your buds, you can still use and control the shuffle with whatever buds you want to use... My Senns and B&Os blow away all APPLE Buds....Still find it hard to believe that I need to buy an adapter on top of the shuffle to use the new shuffle.. Bottom line, the new shuffle is not on my radar at this time.. APPLE needs to think about the cost of replacing their own buds.. I think it will eventually catch up to them.. So if the buds don't work for the next 2 years, APPLE will keep replacing them each month, week, days, etc.. lets see cost of 24 buds???? Interesting..

  • FOUND SOLUTION TO EMAIL ISSUE - "message not downloaded from server"

    It took me 4 days to figure it out but there is a solution to the problem "the messsage has not been downloaded from server" and "the message has no content".
    I do not have to set up "push" accounts from yahoo or gmail and it works with my corporate email.
    Apple can reach me at <Message was edited by: Host> to discuss this issue.

    I'm not a computer technician, and if you were to give me a few days looking at the problem, i'm sure I or anyone else could provide a solution. I'm not too bothered about the message appearing 50% of the time as i'm usually within easy reach of a Laptop or PC or can find another method to get access to my email.
    So i'm not pi**ed off that you have found a solution. I'm just trying to obtain information for a post that says "FOUND SOLUTION TO EMAIL ISSUE - "message not downloaded from server" in the Apple HELP FORUMS...

  • My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. Any tips?

    My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. I tried restarting it a few times, nothing worked. I looked up many tutorials, and still nothing did the trick. Any tips?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • When i paste some copied color text or formatted cells from excel to my mail draft while composing a mail, it is being pasted as plain text. No back groud or text colors are copied to it. Please suggest a possible solution for this issue.

    Colors & Formatted Cells from Excel application can not be copied to my mail composer as it is. Only Plain text is copied.

    Wish I could be king. But you described the problem perfectly and I am still but a pawn. All I can say is that I trashed the mail preferences (com.apple.mail.plist) on my Mac Mini, and now my MacBook seems to work right.
    Sorry. :>) But that is the truth... The MacBook now has actually sometimes displayed pasted text in its actual, different, font and style as I paste it into a partially composed new mail message.
    In other (more rational) words, the problem seems to be tied to pasting only certain types of text. I have not been able yet to pinpoint what. Yes, frustrating indeed. The only work-around has been to re-train my fingers to command-option-shift V, for "paste and match style" (like you, I do not want to always use only plain text). Maybe someone else will eventually weigh in with a real solution. The solution I want is just to be able to consistently see any font variations within my message before I send the email.
    The info about the different ppi scales between Windows and Mac is interesting, although not relevant to this particular problem. It does explain the apparent overall size differences I have seen before.

  • Wrong PSN account linked, cannot unlink and cannot find a real solution

    I am having a seemingly common issue that appears to have no real solution. I had previously linked my account to my PS3 but when I sold my PS3 to get a PS4 I did not disconnect it because usually when you sign up and pay money for an online service, you assume that you will be able to use it anywhere. The PS3 is now formatted and somewhere with gamestop so there is no way to access it to disconnect. There is no way to do it from Spotify.com (which I can't really figure out how that makes sense), customer support at playstation does not even understand what the problem is, and spotify has no phone number to call which is rediculous, I know. The only way to get help from spotify is from the "contact form" which is no help. Does anyone know how to get this fixed or how to get a response out of spotify to bring this issue to attention to them?

    Hey there !
    I deeply apologize for my previous post. I gained the knowledge from previous experience using my PS3 and Spotify account. After doing more research, I know what to do! If you formatted your PS3, don't worry about that PS3 as it no longer has access to your PlayStation account which is linked to your Spotify account. What needs to happen is if you haven't already, just contact Spotify directly through the online contact form saying you would like your account disconnected from all third party applications. They'll be able to sign you out of every connected application. I looked around and at this time, the developers don't allow users to manually disconnect. If you have already contact Spotify through the contact form, let me know the 8-digit case number and I'll make sure it gets to the right team!
     

  • REAL Solution for " Cant Unmount Disk"

    I have a G% 1.8 PPC. It is Primarily a Protools machine.
    I have been using it for about 6 years. One of the hdds have been attached for 4years via FW400.
    I recently upgraded with no problem from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8. At the same time I went from ProTools 6.9.2 le to Protools 8 le.
    I have played sessions from a new external, mercury enclosed, hitachi enterprise hdd and the old hdd. But when i tried to reformat the mercury it would not UNMOUNT. That was last week.
    Today I got a g-drive brand new and it does the same.
    I have tried Terminal with commands :
    killall finder
    log / volume / ...
    I got these methods from the old post. Nothing works and now all of my drives do the same.
    What is the real solution for this?

    OK, here is something extra wonderful.
    i called apple and they suggested that i do a pram reset.. So i restarted my 10.5.8 and did the pram reset.
    When it started it was at 10.4.11. The Rep had never scene that before and transferred me to a higher level a second time.
    Long story, short.... I had to start from scratch with a fresh drive and all.

  • HELP! System won't POST when SPD enabled

    Here's my specs
    P4 3.0ghz (800mhz FSB and HT)
    MSI Neo2 Motherboard
    512mb Kingston HyperX PC4000
    Radeon 9800 PRO
    2x 160gb Maxtor Ultra Series 8mb cache on Raid 0
    I recently traded my HyperX PC3200 and replaced it (not added) with a HyperX PC4000-- before i switched out the ram, my PC3200 ran pretty smoothly. Now with the PC4000 in my computer instead, my computer will not Boot/Post when I have SPD enabled. Also it seems like 2.5 (or 2), 3, 3, 8, 4 are the settings that will actually let my computer boot properly.----- 3, 3, 3, 8, 4 will not. My voltage is set to 2.7, and its on Colonel for DOT, and Turbo for performance. Is there anything that will allow SPD to be Enabled? Is it a real problem? I literally have to reset my CMOS in order to get to the Bios to disable SPD and its kind of annoying.
    My main questions are:
    What does SPD do? and why doesn't my new memory allow it to be set on enabled? What are good timings to use?
    oh, my computer also wont POST if I boost my FSB past 220mhz-- can anyone help me with that as well?

    Please read Rules of the forum and Moan Guide, set up a full signature with ALL system specs.
    The main problem here is that HyperX (please tell us part number or at least module size and quantity) PC3200 has CAS Latency of 2 (2.5 for 2 x 1Gb) where as PC4000 has CAS Latency of 3. Secondly, MSI 865 / 875 motherboards use MAT (Performance mode) to determine memory timings not SPD (or even manual in some cases) and even when set to slow, this can still affect your memory's ability to post. (For both of us it seems these mobo's will not allow CAS Latency =3 - set it manually and check with CPU-Z).
    Try this:-
    Frequency/Voltage Control
    Dynamic Overclocking: Disabled
    Performance Mode: Slow
    CPU Ratio Selection: Locked
    DRAM Frequency: 266 MHz
    Spread Spectrum: Disabled
    Adjust CPU Bus Clock (Mhz): 200
    DDR Clock(Mhz): 400 (Greyed out)
    Adjust AGP/PCI Clock(Mhz): 66.66/33.33
    CPU Vcore Adjust: No
     CPU Vcore: 1.5250V (Greyed Out)
    DDR Power Voltage: 2.70V
    AGP Power Voltage: 1.55V
    If you had to change Performance Mode to Slow, you will have to Save and Exit and then re-enter BIOS for all the following options to be available. If it was already Slow move straight to
    Advanced Chipset Features
    DRAM Timing Setting
    Configure DRAM Timing by SPD: Disabled
    CAS Latency: 3 Clocks
    RAS Precharge: 4 Clocks
    RAS to CAS Delay: 4 Clocks
    Precharge Delay: 8 Clocks
    Burst Length: 8 Clocks
    Integrity Mode: Disabled
    This effectively slows your memory right down and allows you to ascertain your CPUs maximum overclock. Raise the FSB and see how far you can go. Check stability with Memtest and prime95 and once you've found your sweet spot note it down. If you want to benchmark and then repeat the process for 5:4 ratio (Memory Frequency 333 MHz) and 1:1 (Memory Frequency 400 MHz). You can then try manually lowering your memory timing to get the absolute best performance, but FSB MHz is more important with the P4 + 865 / 875 chipset combo than memory timings. Technically, 1:1 ratio should give you the best results, but with the memory timing issues on these boards, my best performance comes from 5:4.
    Hope this helps and Good Luck

    Not a problem when using iPhoto on a Mac, which the transfer of photos is primarily based on - not manually managing photo storage as seems to be common with Windoze.
    The same should be available with a supported photo management app on a PC.

  • Headphones issue

    Hi everyone, I have a Laptop HP EliteBook 6930p with Win XP. My problem is thatThe built-in speakers work fine but when I plug in the headphones it doesn't play on the
    headphones but the speakers still play. It's like my headphone jack doesn't
    pick up my headphones and I have tryed  different headphones. Any help? Thanks in advance!

    Hello! I write here as to show that the problem doesn't seem to be unique. I am really not the type to complain but now after 6 months I have had enough with this problem! I own an Elitebook 8470p with windows 8 dualbooting ubuntu. The hp elitebook came without exploitation system, I installed a purchased windows 8 version.Same problem as some of the guys here: my headphone jacks don't work, whem I plug them in, the speakers stop but I don't hear anything through the jack. And sometimes they do, but it only to seem "good luck" when I am pushing the power up button. (it works less often than it works)Yes, I've updated the drivers a 1000 times, I've also tried to uncheck "allow applications to take exclusive control over this device" and everything that has been suggested.  Mechanically they work fine as in ubuntu (as always) I never had a problem. It's just a problem between hp and windows.I am sorry to post here with such an aggressivness, but I am really SICK of searching.Moreover the preinstalled printer drivers don't seem to work neither, as I cannot print with my brother hl1230 printer. But this annoys me less, as I than switch to ubuntu to print (because here again, it works) Thank you for your help!I am really exhausted, especially that I have to work with youtube and videos now and not being able not to annoy the whole company is just so. sad. Cordially,Lionel

  • I've edited my NEF photos in lightroom and have tried to export to a formatted CD. When I try, I have several issues. I either see in the top left corner that the files are ready to go to CD but there is no further instruction or I get the pop up message

    I've edited my NEF photos in lightroom and have tried to export to a formatted CD. When I try, I have several issues. I either see in the top left corner that the files are ready to go to CD but there is no further instruction or I get the pop up message that the files are offline or missing??

    Just for background, in what format are you exporting your images?  Also, are you able to export them to your hard drive in your chosen format?  I haven't tried exporting directly to CD, but if you're able to export to hard drive and copy to CD, that may be one solution.

  • Is .mac the only real solution

    Is the .mac system the only "real" solution to true mobile computing with my iPhone?
    I am a paid up member of Yahoo Mail, which I love; my whole life (emails, contacts, calendar) is run through this and has been for years. I was hoping for a sensible degree of integration with the iPhone given Apple & Yahoo are working together.
    The reality seems to be:
    -> I can get Yahoo mail on my iphone (but there are reliability issues I believe)
    -> I can sync my contacts, but only using iTunes with Yahoo
    -> I can not sync my Yahoo calendar with the iphone at all!!
    I think GMail and Hotmail will have the same issues.
    My only issue with .Mac is that it can not have my own email address (domain), I could maybe tell everyone my new email (and forward emails from my old address). BUT...there are just no sensible usernames left on .mac -- (unless you want a string of numbers after your address)
    So really, the big question....can I sync Yahoo (or something else) with ALL the apps on the iPhone, or do I need to give into a .mac account?

  • Premiere pro cc 2014 is crashing due to after effects plugins being installed in the mediacore. Is there a solution to this issue?

    The title honestly says it all. I recently purchased CC 2014 and have been updating and transferring plugins from prior versions of adobe after effects. When installing those plugins as I did in previous versions of after effects none of the plugins were recognized/loaded. I eventually found a solution to this issue by simply installing the plugins into the media core. They have all successfully loaded, but due to their presence in the media core premiere pro is now crashing upon start up. Does anyone know a work around for this?
    Image showing crash:
    Specs:
    OS: Windows 8.1
    RAM: 8GB
    CPU: Intel 5 4670k
    GPU: GTX 980 sc
    Premiere Pro CC 2014 and After Effects CC 2014 are both updated to their most recent versions

    First ... have you checked that these are all updated to work with the CC versions? I'd check with the makers of each plugin, the software has MANY differences.
    Next ... if say you removed all but one, do any of them work? It might be worthwhile to remove them from the folder, then add one by one until you find one that is crashing things. That would at least get you part way forward.
    And ... you might list which ones you have, in what versions. Folks around here might be able to help just seeing that.
