The unsolvable question: Stopping beeps and static on Ipod

This is my 3rd or 4th post for this, so far nobody knows. The 5 "R's" haven't worked either, and it always seems that cold weather makes it act up worse. Here's my previous post:
Need major help, b/c this is getting frustrating... My 30G Video Ipod is allowing quick digital "beeps" nearly 1/2 the time I play songs now. Sometimes, it is so frequent, it's almost static-like. Here's what I have discovered and ruled out:
-It is not the song files, b/c the same song can often play a day, or even 30 minutes later, perfectly crisp and clear.
-It is not the plug-in in my car, b/c the earphones detect the same barrage of beeps.
-It may have something to do w/ the battery/charge... Once, when the car charger was charging, I detached/ reattached it and noticed that the charger added many beeps, possibly the stream of electricity affected the player reading files? However, there were lots of beeps anyway.
-It may have something to do w/ the Ipod charge... It happens some when the battery is very low, but it happens alot when the battery is completely full, and played immediately after charging.
All that said, there's no real rhyme or reason to it, and even w/ a 1/2 battery charge, sometimes it still decides to sound screwy w/about 2 or 3 "digital beeps" per second.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks Alwaystubed
The 1st nano still had distortion even with the EQ turned off. However after I mucked with the plug for a bit and got the replacement working. I found it had virtually no distotion with the EQ off. Hopefully its replacement will be the same.

    Hi,
    Have you tried working through this document - it does apply to Elements as well.
    Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
    If you still have problems you may need to contact the Adobe activation team - see the "Still need help?" link at the end of the document.

    I forgot the Security Question's Answer and My reset mail doesn't received a confirmation

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Hello skkmmayer,
    That is probably a lot of stuff you do not want on your iPhone. So this can be handled a few different was. For you current situation, you can delete the apps directly on your iPhone by holding on the app until it starts to jiggle and then tap on the X of all the apps that you do not want. The second thing you can do is before you sync with iTunes, look at the app section on your iPhone to know what gets transfer to it and you can deselect items that you do not want. Lastly, if you download content on your iPad and it is a universal app, you can actually download it directly to your iPhone by looking at your past purchases and download it directly from the App Store. Check out the articles below for more information if need further assistance.

  • I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync.  The sync process appears to be locked up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync.  I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano;

    I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync.  The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song.  I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit. 

    When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
    After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
    PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
    Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

  • When typing the cursor will stop typing and you willhaveto click again where you stopped and start over

    When in a program (IE 11 or Word, Outlook, etc..) my User will begin typing. After a few characters the system will just stop accepting the typing. The User will have to Click in to the field to get the cursor back to the correct point & begin typing
    from that point.
    This seems to happen very frequently for all my users.  We recently deployed new PCs with Win 7 32-byte on them to everyone.  Has anyone seen this happen and have any remedy for it?
    I have replaced the keyboard thinking that is the issue but upon further research I am leaning more toward it being a Windows 7 issue.

    Hi,
    This issue may be caused by the below reasons:
    The mouse. The cursor missing from the current page may be caused by the mouse lost its focus point, this may because of the mouse itself or some other elements(Mouse pads and mouse drivers) which may affect
    the function of the mouse. If laptops, please try to disable touch board.
    Other applications. Please check if there are any applications(Usually some virus or scripts) running automatically when typing, some applications may call the cursor out when it starts.
    Network connection. If you use the wireless network, please make sure the connection is well configured on the client side, check WLAN NICs and the driver.
    The printer driver. In addition to this, please also verify the PC have all the other drivers up-to-date.
    Please take a health check and update the anti-virus databases, if possible try a clean boot , also change a mouse and check the other aspects and see if the problem still exists.
    Hope this may help,
    Best regards
    Michael

  • When I enter the website, Firefox stops responding and I have to end the process from the Task Manager. How do I solve this problem?

    I am running Firefox 4.0 beta 7 on Windows XP Tablet Edition OS. When I enter this site using Firefox, the browser stops responding and I have to end the process using Task Manager. However, when I open it with other browsers such as IE8, I am able to view the site as per normal. This only happened when I updated my browser to Beta 7 and I did not have such problems in the previous betas.

    There is [[Flash]] content on that page.
    Do you have a problem with Flash on other websites?
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

  • My wife just bought her first Iphone  a 4s a fwe months ago, its secondhand a few months ago but it came with ios7.  Now the phone has stopped working and is asking to be registered with a Developer Program portal  any ideas how I can fix this for her?

    my wife just boughtnher first apple an iphone4s she got it secondhand about last july , it came with ios7 which had not been released but today its stopped working and asking to be registered with a developers program,  how can I restore her phone and hopefullykeep her current data. Please keep your answer simple we are not it people thanks.

    Well, you have your answer perhaps as to why the phone was being sold in the first place - rather than being a registered developer, the previous owner probably downloaded and installed an illegal copy of iOS 7 beta on the phone and it has now bricked the phone.  Some people did this and of course they could not wait to get their hands on iOS 7, but now it has been released officially, everybody moans.
    The only thing you can do is try resetting the phone again.  Connect it to iTunes and install iOS 7.0.2 and restore it as new and see if that works.  This might help the phone but will not preserve data.
    If it still won't work, then I suggest that you confront the previous owner of the phone and return it for a full refund and start again, but this time buy the phone from a legitimate source.
