The contacts in the ear phone hole are not working anymore!

I have a Movie IPOD...I guess 5th gen. Its about 3 years old, I take good care of it. I have my ear phones for when Im out of the car, and a cord for my car radio that plugs into the ear phone hole. Well all of a sudden the ear phone hole and its contacts inside of it, are not working properly. I only get sound out of the left side of my car speakers and me ear phones. It has no warrenty and I am just wondering please tell me there is a place where such things can be fixed. Please tell me that I can take it to an apple store and get it repaired, like same day type thing.
Thank you...

I have the exact same problem, sound only comes from left side unless you juggle wire, twist it etc. i now spend more time trying to get it to work right then actually listening to it. So I believe it is time for a new Ipod. Apple wont replace any internal parts but will send you a new/ refurbished ipod identical to yours for around $125. You will, however, need to reload all songs, pictures, etc. 3rd party sites will sell you a new headphone jack for around $100 but most require you to install it yourself. Opening the Case will void the warranty. Which brings up another good point: if you still have a warranty (1 year from Apple, possible store/ credit card extension) use it. Your final option is to give your ipod to an apple store where they will recycle it for you and give you a 10% discount on a new Ipod of your choice. This has made me lose faith in Apple. I have had 2 ipods which both stopped working in less than 2 years. i love apple design and interface but quality is low. hope this helps!!

Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

Hi dear,
it's funny, real funny.
I think the programmes have diffrent sound system from the normal calls system.
All you need to do is to turn the sound up from the bottom in the phone side in the time you're making or recieving the call.
you'll hear the sound.
I hope that would help.
All the best

Email notifications are not working anymore

Hi guys,
I use Grid Control 10.2.0.2 on Windows, and email notifications for critical alerts are not working anymore.
I didn't change anything to the OMS configuration, it just stopped one day, and when I ask for a test email (in "Setup -> Notifications methods" of in "Preferences") it is successfully delivered.
I didn't find anything related to this in log files, and nothing that could help here or on metalink.
Can anyone help about that weird issue ??
thanks in advance
Antoine

Have you gone back over your notification rules?
have you tried just creating a new notification rule and testing it?
Also take a look at Note:356774.1. If you've applied any patches (or done partition maintenance) you may have inadvertently lost all your jobs, which will break the email notications.
If still no joy, then try Note:285093.1.
let us know how you get on.

All my GPS Apps are not working anymore after upgrading to OS4

Hi folks,
all my GPS APPS are not working anymore since I upgraded to OS4.
I am living in Germany and using Iphone 3GS 32GB.
Are there any plans from apple to resolve this issue shortly ß Or shuld we
chance to google or Microsoft produkts....?

I'm getting very interested in GPS problems across the entire iOS device range. Ive got a 3GS and the GPS satellite fix stopped working completely recently. A fix identified using jailbreak and an ssh terminal tells me a good proportion of these problems are with locationd, the gps process in the iPhone, or more accurately, I think that it's possible for some of the data this process uses to become corrupted; the "fix" involves stopping the process and deleting the data it uses. On restart, locations is forced to rebuild the data, and everything then works.
I suspect this is true across the iPhone range - and worse, I think that the backup function in iTunes actually backs up the bad data. Thus, when you restore from backup, you actually put the problem back in! Either that, or GPS cache data isnt deleted when the iphone is restored.
What we need is an option in iTunes, or the iPhone settings, to clear GPS ephemeris and related data down and restart locationd: this will save apple a fortune in support at genius bars, as I reckon everyone who is getting a replacement is just getting a reblanked refurbished iPhone with no hardware fixes - they could be turning them around in the back of the stores!
We need to get some group pressure together to get an answer out of apple on this really - they do seem to have an approach which has much in common with the way the UK banks were dealing with overdraft fees - if you complained, they refunded just to keep you quiet and make sure you didn't shout. If this issue is an underlying gps driver or application demon issue, they should give us a way to work around the issue.

HT4623 the wi-fi & Bluetooth are not working now in mobile

i up date my i phone from iso6 to iso 6.1.2 after that i loss the wi -fi and bluetooth not working?

What you see means that the Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth chip is not being recognized by iOS.
There are some steps recommended by Apple to solve this but you may have a hardware problem.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559

HT4972 the apps weve downloaded are not working. please help, extremely frustrated with our ipod 4

the apps we have downloaded are not working, please help, extremely frustrated with our ipod 4

See my previous reply for for the apps closing.
For the wifi problem:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect OK before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

The icons in MacBook are not working

Hi,
The desktop icons in my MacBook are not working and this force me to use FILE --> New finder window to open the Safari etc... How do I make my icons work from desktop. Appreciate your help. Thanks.

Each version of Extension Manager only installs/manages extensions for the same suite of products. EM CS6 only installs extensions for DW CS6. To install extensions for DW CS5, you should launch EM CS5 to install it. Note that you have to update EM CS5 to 5.0.3 before you launch EM CS5 in Mac 10.8, otherwise EM CS5 will crash due to Mac API change. You can use Adobe Application Manager to update EM CS5 or download and run http://download.macromedia.com/pub/dw_exchange/extension_manager/mac/AdobeExtensionManager _5_0_3_mul_AdobeUpdate.dmg which can be found at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/.

After updating my iPod touch 3rd generation to IOS5 some default apps are not working (anymore)

Hi,
I updated my iPod touch 3g from IOS 4.x to IOS 5 last week and since then my iPod makes troublle!
First of all, during the update I did not see any Problems. After the update, I mean the step where the data will be restored to the iPod, I synchronized some APPS at the same time, maybe that was a big mistake. My iPod makes hard resets many times in a loop until it frozes.
So the only thing I could do here is pressing the home button and the power switch at the same time until it gets rebooted. The sync started again and it looked like everything runs fine.
As I tried to use iMessage first time I realised the first Problem: I am unable to loginto iMessage with my Apple ID. My Apple ID runs fine, I can by Apps and so on. I also enabled iCloud to see that my Apple ID is ok. But logging into iMessage I put in my Apple credentials and Password, click on next, wait 3 seconds and the screen flips back. So this feature is not working.
Next issue I see is that randomly my iPod hard resets itself. Even if I don't do anything with my iPod I can see that it resets itself, booting with the apple icon. This happens minimum three times a day... (Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV), Kern_INVALID_ADDRESSat 0x00000000)
Today I tried YouTube, an internal Application which I cannot reinstall. It's not working anymore, starting YouTube says: Unable to connect to YouTube!
I have no clue whats going on here because email and web is working fine.
In my eyes I would like to reset the whole device to a state before running IOS5 and I would try the update again. But my Question is how to reinstall IOS5?
If IOS5 will not run smoothly on my iPod, I would prefer to backref to iOS4x.
Is there anyone who could help me out here?
Thanks,
Daniel

Found the rootcause. The battery was damaged and unable to have enough power to keep the device alive. After changing the device problem is solved.

The hyperlink for iweb is not working anymore?

I have a web site built with iweb. It was not useful til few weeks ago when we try to revive and publish it, but ho surprise I went to apple store to make an appointment to remember the way to use it. I was told that that @me wont exist anymore but that I will be able to continue to work with iweb and publish with some other company. Well, I started to work again with iweb, and when I finish I try to hyperlink each page as needed but the program doesn't respond.

Info About iWeb Curtesy of Old Toad
As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.   On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
   Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.   All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.   There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
   However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.

Why doesn't the "zoom in/out" via pinching the trackpad on my mac not work anymore with firefox? It worked before and still works with Safari.

why doesn't the "zoom in/out" feature by pinching the trackpad on my mac work anymore with firefox? It worked about a month ago, and still works on Safari.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

ICloud and Photos app are not working anymore after updating iOS 8.0.2 !!!

I've just upgraded iOS 8.0.2 with .ipsw file. It asked for my iCloud password in Set Up. It says it's wrong. So i skipped it.
I tap iPhoto and it tells me to marge the photos to Photos app. It was going fine and then suddenly, it closed. Now i can't open the Photos app anymore. I've rebooted and deleted iPhoto app. I can't even open through Camera.
I can't see my profile in iCloud (in Settings). It's keeping me the password. Its still wrong. I can't even turn off Find My iPhone to restore my iPhone. It says verification failed.
I don't know what to do anymore. I still can use my iCloud on my Computer. I still can use everything and everywhere except on my iPhone.

You are not alone. I got that issue also. I always reboot my phone or reset the network setting but it only work for a few hours.

Windows 7 gadgets are not working anymore. Strange problem.

Hello
I'm having a strange problem with windows 7 Gadgets, I describe it as follows:
1. Drag and drop a gadget to any part of the windows 7 desktop.
This problem happens with all the gadgets, so you can drag and drop the gadget you prefer.
2. Automatically, something weird happen. You will see TWO COPIES OF THE SAME GADGET PLACED IN THE DESKTOP! One of those copies, is showing the controls to close it, etc. the other copy, doesn't show any controls at all and it is glued to the desktop, you cannot
move it.
3. This happens with all the gadgets you drag and drop to the desktop, all them are duplicated, appearing 2 times.
4. When you restart, windows 7 doesn't remember the gadget, so the gadget will not be there anymore and will disappear.
5. The Fix it 50617 and Fix it 50618 DON'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
6. I did all these steps, and also don't solve the problem.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2515657
7. I tried other solution people is talking about in forums, registering the following DLL
    regsvr32 msxml3.dll
    regsvr32 scrrun.dll
    regsvr32 jscript.dll
ALSO DON'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
8. Restoring the system to the last point, ALSO DONT WORK. The last point was created in November 16th, 2011 and I tried to restore the system to that point and also don't solve the problem.
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
How may I solve this?
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits
Thanks
