What causes popping noise when I touch iPad 4 screen?

I notice that intermittently, my iPad 4 screen makes a popping sound or like an electric snap sound. What causes this?

You mean a sound different than the normal 'click'?  And only in certain areas of the screen?  What areas?  And are the areas the same regardless of what function you're using onthe phone, regardless of what app you're using?
This seems like it coud be a hardware issue with the display.  Try the following steps.
Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Switching Tracks in Rhythmbox Causes Popping Noise? [solved]

    A friend and I recently installed Arch on a spare computer and really liked it, but we had a problem with the sound that was really annoying that we couldn't figure out how to fix. We followed the alsa wiki instructions and were able to get the sound working good for programs like Mplayer and Audacious, but Rhythmbox caused a loud scratching/popping noise when switching to different songs. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may have caused this, and ways it might be fixed?
    Thanks!

    I don't use rhythm box, but I had a similar issue with amarok a while ago with songs that had been encoded with album art in their tags.  My issue was specifically iTunes encoded mp3s, but IIRC others reported the same issue with other programs, including easytag.  Stripping album art from all tags fixed the issue - frankly, I don't need album art attached to my music anyhow.  If you're talking about CD's, then I have no idea what the issue might be.

  • In Acrobat XI, how make "tooltip" pop up when cursor touches a button?

    In a 283-page .pdf, words needing definition are hyperlinked to a "glossary." I want to have a condensed definition pop up when cursor touches the word. I've tried using an invisible button on the word, then put the definition in a "tooltip," but the "tooltip" doesn't pop up when the cursor touches the button. How can I get it to work? Or is there a better way to have popup definitions appear?

    Yes, the button overlapped the link. Since the link goes to the full definition in the glossary, and the button is a condensed definition, I want both--and it looks as if I can condense the button so both will work. So far so good--unless there's a better way.
    thanks again.

  • What does it mean when it says "ipad has lost it's pairing"

    what does it mean when it says "ipad has lost it's pairing"

    If you are getting that message when you try to sync your iPad, eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and then try to sync again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, just try using a different USB port.

  • What does it mean when your whole i phone screen turns green

    What does it mean when your whole iphone 5 screen turns green

    It means that you jailbroke your iPhone with redsn0w. There are several known methods to fixing this issue:
    1. Plug it into your computer and restore
    2. Plug it into your computer, then hold the power button for about 6 seconds
    3. Hold the power button and the home button to restart it. As soon as it turns on, plug it into your computer and wait
    4. Time. Sometimes it fixes itself over time.
    I would suggest refraining from jailbreaking your device next time. I know it tempting to do so, but if you want to root your phone or play with emulators, I would suggest an android device. Btw, iOS 7 looks promising for the Apple community. Keep your ears peeled this week during WWDC.

  • Pages will no longer open when I touch iPad icon

    Pages will no longer open when I touch the icon on iPad

    I have the same problem, but when I tried to sync the iPad (iOS5.1.1) with my purchased Pages app to re-install it, what I saw was the original app icon; what I got was the new Pages 2 icon, which only works with iOS7 and above. So is there no support from Apple for legacy versions of apps?

  • Why is there a popping noise when I cut between angles in a multi cam edit? How do i get rid of it?

    I shot an interview. I recorded it on an h4n-One person was on channel 1 and the other was on channel 2. When I cut between them in a multi edit it creates a popping noise. How can I get rid of this and/or prevent this from happening?

    I had this..  I didn't cure it I just slipped the edit until it went. Not always possible.  What I would do on avid or fcp 7 is add a dissolve to the audio tracks.. So you could do that in the fcp x way

  • Loud Popping Noise when wake from sleep

    On my new iMac CD 20" there is a load popping noise that comes from the speakers when I wake it up from sleep. Also, the hard-drive or the super-drive clicks a few when waken from sleep. Yesterday there was a static noise coming from the speakers while I was using the machine on the web, it was load enough to be annoying, I restarted it and the sound went any. I am wondering if any others have noticed this problem and should I take it back for a new one.
    My wife has even said that the sounds don't seem right.
    Any feedback would be great!
    Thanks.
    20" Intel iMac and 12 P-book- 867 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I conducted some tests on my iMac, and the problem, as it were, is related to having external speakers connected to my iMac. When I unplug my external speakers (JBL Encounter), I do not hear the pop upon waking my iMac from sleep. When I plug the speakers in again, the pop returns. I do not hear the pop when I mute the speakers before putting the iMac to sleep, either.
    To rule out other devices, I unplugged all external devices and then reconnected them one at a time. Only the speakers triggered the pop.
    I don't think this is a defect necessarily, even though I never heard the popping sound when waking my iMac G5 from sleep (with the same set of speakers). I think it may, as I suggest above, have something to do with the change in processors.
    I may call Apple just the same to see what its tech. support people have to say on the matter.
    Do those others of you experiencing the popping sound also have external speakers?

  • Strange noises when ipod touch power plugged and headphones cable connected

    Hi everybody,
    this is my first post. It has been annoying me for a long time now.
    The thin is, when I plug in the ipod via charger or USB cable and I want top listen to music while it charges i get this crackling noise and a high pitch one as background atmosphere which is ok if you listen to loud music but very annoying if you listen to calm music.
    I want to connect it to my stereo and i found out that when I disconnect the power cable its allright. When I put the audio cable on the metal sufrace I just get the crackling noise without the pitch and when its plugged into usb and connected to my ipod I can modify the noise when i scroll on the touchpad. Its like scraching on vinyls but not cool.
    I don't know what to do. I mean sometimes you want to listen to music AND charge your ipod right?
    Has this happend to anyone?
    Best regards

    Well thanks for pointing me to that feature, I didn't notice it before, but nobody there really has the same problem.
    They are complaining about not being able to charge and listen at the same time. This is histroy since iOS5.
    I shure can listen to my music. And for example via bluetooth its no problem being connected and listen to music, even while I sychronize. But if I plug in the audio jack, and have the ipod charging I get this noises.
    I hope the problem is now more precisely described.

  • Strange popping noise when reversing

    Hello,
    I have been using iMovie HD 6 for quite a while now (I downgraded), and the reverse feature has been working fine until now. When I reverse the clip (w/o changing the fast/slow marker), a strange popping noise replaces the usually reversed audio. I tried it on an iMac G4 with iMovie 4, and it created the same strange effect. (As an alternative, I've been using +J and Wavepad for the reverse audio) Can anyone fix this?

  • Popping noise when in menu mode?

    I get a steady and repeating popping noise while I am on the menu page.
    Once I select a video/movie- the pops stop and all is fine.

    I have both an ATV1 and ATV2.
    The ATV2 is connected to a surround sound through my TV. The sound system and the sound on my TV both pop every time a video or audio starts to play.
    This is the way my ATV2 is connected as well. In my case the popping only occurs when I am in the menu mode until a movie/video starts and then all is fine. And the popping only occurs if I start up the surround sound receiver when the ATV2 is already "awake" (not asleep) with its light on. If the ATV2 is asleep when I turn on the surround sound receiver, and then turn on the ATV2, then all is fine.
    In my opinion it is some kind of issue between the audio output of the ATV2 and the audio input circuit from my surround sound receiver. If anyone has a solution for this I would certainly appreciate learning it.
    I never have had this problem with my ATV1

  • Popping noise when track starts or ends

    hey
    ive been putting together this song recently but on a few tracks, when it ends or starts there is this popping noise right as it comes in. Any suggestions?

    hi
    are these tracks you have recorded i.e audio?
    If so you could open them in the sample editor and move the start position a fraction to avoid the popping sound.
    Also, try adding a fade to the region beginning and/or end in question.
    BTW, You need to careful with waveforms. In the sample editor local menu go to <edit> and make sure "search zero crossings" is ticked. This means that the start and end positions snap to the closest point to where the wave form crosses the zero line. This should ideally solve your "popping or clicking" problem.
    Hope that helps.
