I'm not sure what difference it makes if its a common problem or not but as its a hardware problem it needs to fixed so take it into an Apple store or authorized iPhone service provider and ask them what can be done.

  • TS1362 I am having trouble playing imported cds.  The tracks keep sticking which is a bit like buffering is this a common problem and can i rectify it.

    Being new to the iphone I am having trouble listening to imported cds.  The tracks keep sticking a bit like buffering.  Is this a common problem and can it be solved just by addressing a general buffering problem which I already have on youtube but have not rectified as yet.
    Thanks Kaz T

    If <alanfromnewtownards> fix fails to address the issue - turn off iMessage and Facetime in Settings.  Settings\iMessage, and Settings\facetime.
    Sync by cable to iTunes.
    Leave cable connected, open Settings\iCloud and ensure at least Mail is on and dsplays your Apple iD email -  then turn iMessage and Facetime back on.  Ensure that in the ISettings...\iMessage...\Facetime page that the Receive at field and Receive video calls at email address is the same address as your Apple I.D.
    Resync when finished.
    If still having problems with Facetime then check that the required port is open - allowing traffic in your router.

    In some cases you may need to turn on Port forwarding and open the port manually to allow traffic through.  See your router documentation for details.
    If having problems verifying, open iTunes store App on your pad.  at bottom of page, click on your ID and sign in. Go to your Account details (re-veryfying and answering security questions may be required to do this) - check all details are correct.
    Finally right click your device icon in iTunes and select Reset warnings.  resync when finished.

  • My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    Try this for the freezing

    Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode

  • I just got myself the new 13 inch Mac Air.  When I scrol up or down on an Internet page, like a news article, I see rowing, ripple distortions in the document, which causes headaches for me.  Is this a common problem?  Can I do anything to eliminate this?

    Hello New Friends:
    I've been a Windows user but my first computer was the original Mac that I used in college.
    I just got myself a new Mac Air -- great!  But I'm getting headaches from distortions on the screen when I scrol up and down a news article on the Internet.  Is this a common problem for Air?  Can I do anything to eliminate this problem.
    Thanks.

    Is it just me, or does it seem like every buyer of the new Mid 2012 MacBook Air (myself included) has had at least one issue with it out of the box?
    It's just you. Remember, there are lots of people who purchase the MacBook Air that are using it without issue. These forums are like a hospital emergency room - the people you see here are the ones that need help. The rest are all out there enjoying their MBAs. Very few people come here to post that everything is working perfectly.

  • Common problem and can't fix it: Can't send email

    Hello wise crowd! I just switched ISP's from Earthlink to AT&T Yahoo and when I did, my Mac Mail magically couldn't send emails. The message I keep getting is: Cannot send message using the server smtp.mac.com. Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
    Now I checked the materials that I got from AT&T Yahoo and port 25 is used as the outgoing mail port, 110 for incoming. So, is this something I need to get on the phone with AT&T about to hash out the settings or can somebody here guide me?? Thanks in advance...

    Now I checked the materials that I got from AT&T Yahoo and
    port 25 is used as the outgoing mail port, 110 for incoming.
    This is for the POP type account provided by AT&T, not necessarily for an email account and SMTP server not provided by AT&T.
    Sounds like AT&T blocks using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by AT&T on Port 25.
    Try the following first.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
    Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
    If this doesn't work, we will go to plan B.

  • My speaker isn't working is this a common problem and will the apple store replace my phone for no charge?

    I play a lot of music on my phone, for about a week or so my speaker was cutting out. Then day before yesterday it cut out again and won't work for ringtones or anything.
    I was wondering if I'm the only one with the problem and of I took it to the apple store would they fix it/ replace my phone for me.

    is there no sound from the phone at all? i'm just checking because many people think there are 2 speakers on the bottom of the phone when in fact there is 1 speaker and 1 microphone. also, have you tried resetting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button until the phone restarts? does it have sound thru the headphones? sometimes the phone gets stuck in headphone mode and you can try plugging and unpluggng the headphones a couple of times.

  • My on/off button on my Iphone 4 is really hard to push down, one side seems to be pushed down. Is there anyway this can be fixed?

    My on/off button on my Iphone 4 is really hard to push down, one side seems to be pushed down. Is there anyway this can be fixed?
    I havent dropped the phone or anything. I dont know how my button got pushed down farther on one side, but it is extremely hard to push to make my phone turn on and off.

    If it is in warranty take it to an Apple store.
    You have 12 months cover from date of purchase.

    Get a replacement phone. If it is still covered by warranty it will not cost anything. See: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
