What do I do if I think I damaged the sound on my laptop by playing music in the shower?

So I recently read a question on "Macbook Pro" questions of someone asking if it's ok to play music on your laptop while in the shower. I know now that it's not ok. But before I knew this, I take about 30 min showers and I take my laptop to play music ever once in a while. Last night it shutdown a little after I got out of the shower and it wasn't because the battery percent was low. I went and plugged it in to charge it and it still didn't come back on for a good five minutes (which were probably about the worst 5 mins of my life because I was freaking out.) Once it turned back on I played a couple seconds of a couple different songs to make sure the sound was ok and it seemed fine for those few seconds. I tried to play music today and when I turned on a song, it played well for about the first 10 secs and then it started crackling. I think I broke it!! I feel horrible. Should I go to the apple store closest to me to get help?

HT201401 Why is it that all the sound comes out of the right speaker when playing music? The left speaker seems to be blocked or damaged what do i do to be certain that there may be a problem?

I have just noticed whilst playing music on my iphone4 that the sound doesn't play on the left side, as if it has broken..not sure whats going on. I have tried different songs ..changed EQ but i think think is internal. This has happened recently as i noticed the change in sound straight away.

So why is it that my friend who is directly in front of me with iphone 4 and both speaker holes sound... Yet another friend next to me has same problem as me? We are covering one finger over one side and comparing. Left no sound.

HT1725 A song was purchased and iTunes site indicated it was downloaded when the tab changed from "Downloaded" to "Play"...it shows up faded on my iPad and inactive. What's the problem?

I purchased a song from ITunes. The process was normal....I bought the song on and for my iPad; the site showed "downloading" and then "play". The song is showing up faded and inactive on my iPad. What is the problem?

Good question!
In my experience there is usually a problem with the download. If you paid for the song, I advise to NOT try the download again as this may charge your iTunes account/ Credit Card twice.
If it was free, what the heck, try to download it again.
OR
In the Music (orange) App if the song shows up USUALLY you can swipe left (like when you delete something) and delete the song and try to download again.
If none of this works, try contacting expresslane.apple.com
Start by clicking in the center column:
1. iTunes
2. iTune Store
3. Connecting & Downloading
4. Downloads from iTunes store incomplete or interrupted
5. Continue
6. Choose your support option (depending on time of day your options will include email, chat, call now, or schedule a callback)
Good Luck!

The sound on my laptop has stopped working entirely, with and without headphones. What should I do?

The sound on my computer has stopped working. I have searched through countles google entries to try and figure out the problem but I can't find anything remotely useful. I never spilled any liquid or anything on my computer. I was just searching through youtube and when I clicked a video there was no sound. Then I checked iTunes and tried to play some music, still no sound. I played around with the preferences and volume control, still no sound. If you have any advice please help. Going to the apple store is so expensive and I don't have the time or money.

Did you try resetting PRAM and SMC?
Is there any red light visible in the headphone port?

Sony PRS-T1; I've got the books on my laptop, but can't download the books in my reader. Acc to Sony I've got a different Adobe ID for my Reader than for my laptop, which is true because I couldn't remember my password. Can that be the issue?What do I do?

Can someone help me?

Hi,
This is about the type of APple ID that is also a Valid AIM Screen Name.
Apple's Agreement with AIM was originally for the @mac.com ending names issued under the .Mac service (pre MobileMe) and then later the MobileMe issued @me.com IDs.
When MobileMe started Apple changed the registration page for @mac.com names to be "iChat names" (Under @mac.com all names worked "forever" in iChat (Trial Accounts, Paid for account or Lapsed accounts)
The Trial and Lapsed accounts no longer worked as email addresses but will work with iChat. (Therefore a small step to keep issuing the names).
NOTE:
You cannot create a new Apple ID whilst using the email already linked to another one.
An @mac.com name is a New Apple ID.
The MobileMe @Me.com issued names work in all iChat versions.
Later @me.com names issued via iCloud only work with iChat 6 (iChat makes a dual Login to AIM and Me.com so that the Password can be verified)
In All Cases the password has to be 16 characters or less due to the limit at the AIM server end (despite Apple trying to get you to make them longer).
My Apple ID is, like yours, an email from somewhere else. In my case it is an old Dial-up Account I used to have.
An Alternative to to register the Email Address with AIM's Registration Page (Or just use it a Security, Password and Confirmation address).
At the end of the day it is about whether you want a separate ID or not.

HT201177 I am trying to create home movies and each time there is no sound when I play back the disc. The sound is there when I play back in imovie and also after I've shared with idvd and played back. Not sure what else to do???

I am trying to create home movies, and do not have sound on the final disc. The sound is there in imovie and after sharing to idvd. This has only happened a couple of times before and I have made a lot of movies. I have just gone through about 8 discs, all with no audio when I play them!!!

You need to ask for support in the iMovie forum.

Guys ... I have a 2008 MacPro running the current Yosemite. I also have installed the sound amp called "BOOM!" I have the Sound set to Line Out which should have the computer boot up to BOOM! Instead, it boots up to the Internal speaker. What's up?

Hi Folks ...
I have a 2008 MacPro running the current Yosemite. I have installed the recommended upgraded video card, but the sound is as it was new. I also have installed the sound amp/graphic equalizer called "BOOM!" I have the Sound set to Line Out which should have the computer boot up automatically to BOOM! and thus to the external speakers. Instead, it boots up to the Internal speaker. According to the folks at "BOOM!", this is happening to others who have similar Macs. They can't find any explanation within BOOM!, so I am turning to you all. Any ideas?

Hi Kappy ...
Sorry, I guess I didn't state the problem very well.
I don't want the computer to boot up to the internal speaker. I want it to boot up to the external speakers. However, even though System Preferences is set on Line Out, when the computer boots up or reboots, it erroneously goes to internal speaker. So, every time I boot up, I have been going to System Preference/Sound and clicking on Line Out. From that point on, everything is OK until the next boot up. It is a small annoyance, but annoying all the less. The simple explanation seems to be that when the computer is shut down, it does not hold the setting for Line Out and resets itself to Internal Speaker. How do I change that behavior and get it to go to Line Out whenever it boots up?

HT201270 Apple please fix this the dock connector in my car effects the airplay on my phone no matter what I try to fix it it always goes to play music on the dock connector in my car even when I do not ask it to! The iPhone selection is no choice.

If anyone could help or try to fix this, please help it is such a hassle!

Apple is not here.
Clean the dock connector on your device with a soft, dry brush.

My IPhone4 doesn't ring when people call me, but rings for alerts, texts, calendars..etc. What's wrong?? Also, it plays music through the speaker too....

My IPhone does not ring when someone calls me. This started happening a few days ago. It will ring if I get a text message or an alert of some sort but it just won't ring when someone calls me. It vibrates, just doesnt ring...Why is that?

I am having the exact same problem. If the phone is locked, when people call me, it goes to voicemail. My phone never rings and I never get a visual notification until it is too late. Similar problem with texts and emails when locked. No sound and no visual notification. I am a REALTOR. My phone is my lifeline. If it doesn't ring, it's a very expensive paper weight...

The necessary links/menus you need to navigate to after clicking the Report a Problem link can be a little tricky to find. See

Hope it works out for you (:

My 3gs has stopped playing through the speakers and when the headphones are plugged in only plays through one ear? it still ring when called and everything else seems fine, whats the problem? it seems like the phone thinks the earphones are always in?

my 3gs has stopped playing music through the speakers, they play with headphones but only through one ear. It seems the phone thinks the headphones are in all the time. The ringer still works when called and i have cleaned the headphone socket the best i can without damaging the phone! Any ideas?

I had the same issue, 4s running ios8, but the plugging and unplugging the headphones did not work, BUT, when I tried plugging and unplugging from the DOCK, it started to work again. There must have been a short in the power plug, not the headphones. I also blew out the bottom power plug with computer safe airjet. Hope this one helps anyone else having the issue.

My iPhone 4S will be playing music and then it will stop and go into dock connector mode. What do I do to stop this?

Hi, my iPhone 4S will be playing music or nothing and it will randomly stop! I doesn't even show the volume bar. It goes right into
dock connector mode when it's not even on a dock. It only does this when I want to play music through the iPhone speaker. I
don't know what to do or how to fix this, It started doing this when I was on 5.0.1 and I read something saying it would help
to upgrade my phone, so I went to 5.1 and nothing was fixed, sometimes it does this and than it doesn't. For me to get it back to
normal I need to hold down the Siri button and select the way I want it to play when the device button comes up and it says
" iPhone " , " iPhone Speaker " and sometime it won't even say those. Will apple give me a new phone if I take it in? I never signed up
for Apple care. I just got this phone in February 2012. PLEASE HELP ME.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore. Has any of this been tried?
Unless and until is has been, Apple will not do anything, beyond the basic troubleshooting listed above.

For some reason when I play my Imovie the second half of the movie's sound just stops working and I can't hear anything. It was working before but now it isn't and I don't know what to do.

When I was putting together an Imovie I put music in the background and it played fine in the beginning but now when I watch it the first half of the movie plays music while the second half is silent even though I put music there as i did with the first half. So basically...the music in the second half of my movie is not playing like it used to.

GUYS THIS IS URGENTLY URGENT PLEASE!! if it helps, maybe being the stupid person I am, I might have accidently muted it so maybe if you guys could just tell me how to unmute, or see what is muted that would be REALLY helpful. Thanks
By the way I know you just read this and you're probably wondering why I am replying to myself....BUT THAT IS JUST HOW IMPORTANT THIS QUESTION IS. PLEASE HELP ME.

What do I do if I think I damaged the sound on my laptop by playing music in the shower?
