Problems with 3rd party earphones on iPhone 4

My old Nokia phone came with these amazing noise cancelling, heavy bass earphones which are miles more comfortable than the cheap plastic things that apple provides. However my Nokia earphones simply wont work with the device properly, the music sounds distorted and very flat, sometimes the song actually skips and plays at 5x speed randomly, its really strange. I've tried taken the phone out of the case and wiggling the wire around but nothing seems to work. The earphones work fine in my old phone and when plugged into my pc with no problems, these earphones have a button on them, that when held in, the iphone seems to work correctly with them, but that means i am required to constantly hold a button on my headphones which just isnt practical. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks!

Update iTunes on your PC >  iTunes 11.1.1 for Windows (64-bit
Then restart the PC and try restoring the iPhone.

  • Connection problem with 3rd party software

    I am having a problem with a developer tool (pl/sql developer) in that my connection keeps closing whenver i query a table. i know this sounds like a software problem and nothing to do with oracle, but this happened on my friends machine and after hours of searching we found out that it was caused by a setting in a configuration file. this setting caused problems when 3rd party applications were using oracle. however, we cannot remember what the file was, and I'm wondering has anyone encountered this type of problem before and if so how do you solve it?
    Thanks very much

    Maybe this has something to do with connection timeout for Oracle network configuration settings:
    in file sqlnet.ora (located on server side), check these values or set them
    appropriately:
    SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
    SQLNET.RECV_TIMEOUT
    SQLNET.SEND_TIMEOUT
    See http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14213/sqlnet.htm#sthref370

  • Problem with 3rd Party Plug-Ins

    I am running Logic Pro 7 and recently a majority of my 3rd party plug-ins quit working. When I try to load the plug-ins or open a song that uses the plug-ins, Logic unexpectedly quits. Some of the plug-ins that cause the problem are:
    Spectrasonics Trilogy and Atmosphere
    Plugsounds PS01-06
    Ueberschall BPM120 and PLP120
    Native Instruments Kompakt
    This has happened before, but for some reason within two or three weeks, they just magically started working again. I could use an update on my OS (10.3.9) and some updates are available for the plug-ins, but why wouldn't everything continue to work as it had if nothing has changed? And is this absolutely necessary because I'd rather not because I'd have to update everything.

    Did you update or change ANYTHING on your system? I've learnt that once I have a stable system, DONT upgrade unless you HAVE to, as updated plugins are designed to work on the most recent software, and sometimes dont get tested and/or work with "older" systems.
    However, if you have not changed anything and are getting these problems, the most likely cause is either song corruption (though you said this is happening on multiple songs, so I doubt thats the problem) or preference corruption, which happened to me just a few months ago. Dont ask me how things get corrupted, but when they do you start to experience random weirdness. For example, recently all my songs stared giving me "memory errors" on stuff that use to playback fine. Once I rebuilt my preferences, every was stable again.
    Here is a link to troubleshooting tips created by Bee Jay (a wise poster here). Follow them and they should fix your problems:
    http://logicquicktips.blogspot.com/2006/10/troubleshooting-logic.html
    Note: if you created any custom key commands for logic, do not trash your old preferences, as you can import your key commands from this file. Check your manual under import key commands. Here is a link to the PDF of the manual, which is easier to search:http://www.apple.com/support/logic/
    If you want to turn off your plugins just to see if they are at fault (though it sounds to me like song/prefs corruption, not plugin problems) use the AU
    manager. I'm not in front of Logic right now, but I believe its under either the apple pulldown menu, or the file menu, or one of the other menus "up top."
    (sorry for my bad description). If you still cant find it, let me know and I'll look it up, but as I said, this sound like a corruption issue and not an issue with your plugins.
    Best of luck!

  • Problem with 3rd party bluetooth keyboard

    I just purchased a third party bluetooth keyboard (RockSoul BT-100).  Unfortunately, when paired with my MacBook (2009 aluminum unibody running Mountain Lion), neither the Escape nor the FN key works.  Any suggestions?  Do I need a special driver?

    Hello:
    I suggest you contact the manufacturer of the third-party device.

  • Problem with 3rd party plug-ins - program sluggish

    Mac 10.8.8.5,  Photoshop CC
    I have created a plug-in panel in Configurator 4 to be used in Photoshop CC. When the plug-in is loaded as a panel Photoshop starts acting sluggish and the shortcuts for Tools do not stick, they revert back to the originally selected tool. Switching between layers has a 1 second or more delay time.
    When I restart Photoshop and keep my panel collapsed everything works as it should. As soon as I expand the panel, the above behavior returns. I have to restart Photoshop with the panel collapsed to have Photoshop work normally again.
    When I restart the computer in Root mode and open Photoshop and expand the panels everything works normally. So it seems like something is being loaded in my User mode that is creating the problem. I just do not have a clue as to what that could be.
    Any Ideas - Sam

  • WRT160Nv3 Problem with 3rd party internet applications Apple & Dropbox

    heres my situation, had a WRT54G wireless router for several years, it kept dropping my internet connection and after several updates to firmware, I decided to upgrade to the WRT160N. Both apple computers work at blazing fast speeds, even xbox 360 which is appoximatly 40ft away in a basement works fast, netflix streaming that is built into my blu ray player works as well. Problem I am having is with Itunes and Dropbox, both use the internet to connect, but every time I try and connect I receive internet connection errors. My macbook pro supports a/b/g/n wireless, so I am not sure what the issue could be. I hve the latest version of Itunes as well as dropbox.
    Also I checked the settings in my router, it is currently set to mixed mode. Do you think I would need to change it to mixed mode B-G, it seems kind of silly to have a N router and only be able to use G.  Any other experiences with this problem?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As far as your all the devices are working fine, then i don't think you should make any changes on your Router.
    Well you need to open Itunes ports on your Router. Click Here and check out the port numbers for Itunes and open the ports on your Router and then try to access Itunes. 

  • Problem with 3rd party RAM for Thinkpad T400

    Hey everyone,
    I just installed 1GB Hynix RAM (came from my macbook pro) onto my Thinkpad T400. At first, it booted up fine. I did all the memory tests and everything. No problems found.
    However, every once in a while, when I reboot my laptop, the bios beeps once, three times, once, then three times. I looked up the beep codes and called customer service and it has to do with the memory. 
    Sometimes when I press the power button, the laptop turns on but the screen doesn't. I just have to force it to shut down then restart...then it's fine. 
    Any suggestions? (besides buying overpriced lenovo branded RAM)
    Thanks in advance. 

    gatorman1122,
    umm, i think we've already established that it's DDR3.   it's absolutely impossible to make DDR2 modules work in your system even if you removed the check pin from the socket.   and, even if you did get it to fit, your system wouldn't even POST.   the pins are different in both quantity and mapping.
    what hasn't been established, however, are the exact specs (not the type) of the module installed.   what speed is the module?   what's the part number?   is it an original apple module or an aftermarket?   again, more info is needed on what you installed.
    also, what beep code are you getting?   is it the beep code for memory or for something else?   you can check codes in the T400 HMM if you haven't already.

  • Update problem with 3rd party application

    After I updated to 10.4.3, everythiing seemed to be working fine, but I noticed that Onyx does not run properly. It gives a syntax error. IM not sure if I should reinstall it, or try another third party application? Can anyone please suggest another application similar to this to help run maintenance scripts. Also in the mean time, coudl someone please post how to run these scripts through the Terminal? thank you

    To run the scripts in terminal, type sudo periodic daily weekly monthly, enter your password, and wait for it to finish. To check when they were last run, ls -al /var/log/*.out
    Hope this helps!

  • Problems with 3rd party libraries used in ejb

    Hi
    I need to deploy a standalone ejb component to weblogic server. The ejb uses some libraries. When my client application invokes it, an exception is thrown for not able to find classes in those libraries.
    I tried putting the jar files in Weblogic's lib folder, and also edited startWebLogic.cmd file to add them to classpath. It just won't work.

    Also, how is the EJB deployed? if its an EAR, you should see the third-party jars in the EAR in the "APP-INF" directory (workshop created beans and built EAR has the APP-INF directory)

    I  have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7  PC. For several years,
    I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months ago I decided to use Mobile Me. However, there were problems with duplication of calendars and then “rogue events” – which could not be deleted – even if deleted on Outlook and on the iPhone (or both at the same time) – they would just reappear after the next synchronisation.  All other synchronisation areas (eg Contacts, Notes etc) work fine.
    I have looked for help through the Apple Support Community and tried many things.  I have repaired my Outlook. I have repaired my .pst file in Windows. I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes on my PC. I have re-installed the firmware on my iPhone. I have tried many permutations on my iPhone. I have closed down all Mobile Me functions on the iPhone. I have spent upwards of 24 hours trying to solve this problem.
    What am I left with? Outlook works seamlessly on my PC. My iPhone calendar now has no events from  my calendar, but does not synchronise through iTunes. Nor does it send events initiated on the iPhone to the Outlook. I am at the point of abandoning iPhones and iPads altogether.  I need to have a properly synchronising calendar on my phone.  Do you have any suggestions?

    In the control panel goto the "Lenovo - Power Manager" and click the battery tab, there is a maintenance button in there that will let you change the charging profile for your battery.   (from memory, so exact wording may be off)
     The lower the numbers you use there, the longer the battery *should* last.    These batteries degrade faster at higher charge levels, however storing them at too low of levels is also not good for them... I've read that 40% is optimal, but just not realistic if you use your computer.

    I've fixed the problem - I think.
    I forgot I had the program "Little Snitch" installed on my computer. So I went into it and saw that it was blocking most of my connections for all the programs I use on a daily basis. Once I lifted the RULE to those certain programs - BAM - everything came back to life in an instant!
