Static when I play music

I set my Ipod mini to only update certain playlists when I plug it in and synchronize. Now when I play music (either through headphones or with my JBL speakers) I get static. I downloaded the updater and it didn't work. Why am I getting static and what can I do to make it stop?

"I downloaded the updater and it didn't work."
Simply downloading the updater to your computer will do nothing. You should use the updater to restore the iPod then reload the playlists etc from iTunes.

The sound is static when I play music or videos

The volume is acting weird when I play music or videos, ie pandora and youtube...and any other app as we'll.

If the above doesn't work, try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

My iPod classic won't hold charge and has a lot of static when i play music

My iPod classic 80GB won't hold a charge and has a lot of static when i try to play music...fixable problem or do i need to invest in a new one?

Hi Candyfornia,
I think you must restore your iPod (with iTunes) to solve your problem...

HI I have an Iphone 3GS and the microphone jack works when I play music but not when making phone calls. please help as I use it for conference calls

Hi I use my phone for conference calls and use the microphone jack to connect to speakers. It doesnt work when making phone calls but when i play music on the phone the jack works with the external speaker.

Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

How do I turn off all those visual effects when I play music?

I dont really want or need those special effects when I play music.(All that panning in or mirroring of the album artwork, sometimes it even switches sides!) I would even prefer to see the Artwork of the music being played, but perhaps just smaller and static on the moniter screen... All this beautifull technology is just wasted on me! How can I deactivate this feature?

Sorry to say you can't disable it.
The swinging artwork gets tedious after a few minutes - more relaxing to turn the TV off!
I generally set the album artwork screensaver to kick in after a few minutes - it's a more relaxed screensaver than the currently playing album effect, but some more options during playback would not go amiss, particularly an iTunes like visualiser.
I think on balance that's better than only having a static image option as there are risks of screen burn especially for plasma owners with static images (my LG LCD TV even gets image retention issues with satellite channel logos!)

Hi, Im having trouble with my Iphones sounds, it wont let me listen to music, watch videos, notify me if i get a text, basically everything that makes a sound is no longer working. The volume level you get when you play music isnt there, HELP?!

Hi, basically i have no sound at all on my Iphone, it doent notify me when i get a text, when someone rings, when i play music or watch videos, the volume slider that is usually present while watching videos or listening to music is no longer there at all, ive turned my phone on and off a couple of times now ive put headphones in and out to see if i had a sticky jack but still no luck Someone help??

And to clarify, these are all iTunes movie and music downloads, so there should not be a compatability issue. And no, the iPod did not come damaged from Apple, it was a hand-me-down from a friend who busted the internal speaker. But it's never done anything like this before. It just had crappy sound. And yes, the timing of the movies and music having issues is the same as the speaker dying. And no, this has NOTHING To do with music videos. I don't have any on any of our devices.

My mac gets slow when I play music from my iTunes library

Hi, aproximately six months ago I noticed that everytime I play music from my iTunes library that its stored in my 27" iMac's hard drive, the computer gets slow, the images start to flicker, the animatios on the dock and the one when u minimize or maximaze the windows, also flicker. As soon as I close iTunes the computer works fine again. When I play music from a CD this doesn't happen.
I've taken the iMac to two service providers along theese 6 months and neighther have been able to fix the issue. What they have diagnozed is an issue with the hard drive which has been changed 4 times already.
What could be the issue?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

My speakers when i play music go loud then quiet and i dont know why? what is wrong?

Same with me nothing has changed. However what reduces it for me is if you change your battery settings to high performance. But it still does it, you will just find it will do it less.

I spilled some pop on the back of my iPad. I cleaned it off and everything seems to be going good but when I play music it will either play with no sound or play then continue with no sound. What can I do to fix this (without being costly, it's a iPad 2)

What can I do to fix this (without being costly, it's a iPad 2) this happens with other music apps too. Please I need help!

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists. If it doesn't work, there isn;t much anyone here can do for you. It may be a physical problem with your speakers.

How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folder within the artist folder.

How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folders within the artist folder and itunes moves the track/s whenever i try and load selected music to my ipod/iphone. I've tried to find some sort of preference to prevent this, but no joy? What am I missing?

Try opening iTunes preferences. Then click on advanced tab. Then uncheck "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library." By default, iTunes copies music to its own media folder when you use iTunes to play the music.

It will not erase any of your personal data, just reset the settings.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Have you tried Option click on the sound icon in the status bar at top right of your screen? It shows the Output and Input options. Select your Apple TV there.
