  • When I put my iphone 4s into my pocket (pants or coat) and move it around, the phone beeps/makes a tone. I can't figure out what is causing the noise.

    I have a strange problem. When I put my iphone 4S into my pocket (pants or coat) and move it around, the phone makes a beep noise/tone. I can't figure out what is causing the noise. It doesn't sound like any of my regular applications. Maybe it is the lock noise but I can't tell for sure.  More movement makes more beeps.  Even walking with my phone in my pocket creates beeps.  The IOS is 7.0.4 (11B554a).  Anyone else have this crazy problem?

    Basic troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore.  If these are tried and you still have problems then you have a hardware failure and will need to have your phone replaced by Apple.

  • HT201777 WHAT IS CAUSING THE NO AUDIO ISSUE ON APPLE TV?????

    I work at a school. Every single classroom has an apple TV device connected to all projectors.
    Staff constantly have issues where they are seeing visual but NO SOUND.
    We created an Airplay Audio Fix in which they can install! (takes about 10 seconds) this disconnects them from the ATV.
    Once they connect back up as per normal and use audio the audio comes back instantly.
    We are unsure of what is causing the NO SOUND issue.
    We know how to fix it otherwise (powering off ATV, unplugging the cables etc... OR OUR AIRPLAY FIX which saves us a lot of time from running from classroom to classroom.
    DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE NO AUDIO ISSUE? I HAVE COME TO A CONCLUSION THAT IT MAY BE BECAUSE STAFF ARE NOT DISCONNECTING FROM THE ATV BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE CLASSROOM I.E. CLOSING THE LAPTOP LID, WALKING AWAY FROM THE CLASSROOM VIA THE IPAD ETC..
    THIS MAY NOT BE THE CASE AND AM WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOW WHY THE ISSUE OCCURS. I DON'T NEED TO KNOW HOW TO FIX AND WE HAVE A SIMPLE FIX BUT JUST THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.
    ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
    THANKS FOR ANY SUPPORT.

    Could be network bandwidth issue transiently if Macbook makes loads of wi-fi accesses when starting.
    Could be wireless router transiently becoming unresponsive to AppleTv while it negotiates with the new device.
    Could be the MacBook finding AppleTV and some communication between them taking priority on the AppleTV such that AppleTV can't handle the music playback too - it should be designed to be resilient to this sort of thing, but it isn't a very powerful device and some hiccups i think are due to it's hardware not coping, just like a computer becoming transiently unresponsive if CPU hogged by some process.
    If you are opening iTunes on Macbook, try unchecking 'Look for AppleTVs' in Preferences - I seem to recall a few people saying this helped a similar issue, and it would imply that this prevented some interaction between itunes and AppleTV that stopped other functions transiently.

  • An iBook G4 is not always recognised by the NEC V260X projector. Sometimes it is and sometimes not. It isn't clear what is causing the instability. Any ideas?

    Sometimes the projector recognises it as a computer input, and sometimes not (so it doesn't project anything). It isn't clear what is causing the instability. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing it?

  • What would cause the original I Pad shut itself off while playing games or online? it is not a battery issue or time issue. When I turn it back on it goes to were I was  when I was online ,but have to start games over.

    What would cause the original I Pad shut itself off while playing games or online? it is not a battery issue or time issue. When I turn it back on it goes to were I was  when I was online ,but have to start games over.

    The original iPad has a slow processor and only 256 MB of memory so it often runs into low-memory failures.
    Double click the home button and dismiss all of the recents - I do that weekly.
    Then reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider - I also do that weekly.
    Both seem to help to reduce the low-memory faults that occur.

  • HT1338 Occasionally my caps lock key blinks some time later my keyboard locks up what is causing the blinking and is it related to my keyboard locking.

    Occasionally my caps lock key blinks some time later my keyboard locks up what is causing the blinking and is it related to my keyboard locking.
    This blinking occurs when no keyboarding is going on.
    Back-up is not running.
    I am on-line.

    Anthony:
    The normal practice is to use the Shift key when typing a single Capital letter, as in a name or the beginning of a sentence, and the Caps Lock key to type all caps. The easiest thing would be for you to retrain your little finger to use the Shift instead of Caps Lock. I know of no way to display an icon at the bottom of the monitor to display that the caps lock key is engaged.

  • Photoshop CS4 for Mac What can cause the error: Plug-in failed to load - NO VERSION

    With Photoshop CS4 for Mac I install the Kodak Plug-in DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0. When Photoshop starts I get an error:
    Plug-ins that failed to load:
       DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0 NO VERSION -  - from the file “DigitalAIRProv2.plugin”Flash:
       Connections
       Kuler
    This plug-in works fine on my Mac Pro with Photoshop CS4 and OS 10.6 but fails on a new Macbook Air.
    Reinstalling the plug-in did not make any difference. What can cause this error?

    Thanks Chris, That was my first thought too but this same plug-in works on another installation of CS4. This is a Mac installation and the plug-in is Universal so it should work. Is there any other possible cause for this error? Would Photoshop refuse to load a plug-in in a low memory situation?
    Also, The Flash extensions:Connections and Kuler are working OK, I just copied a little more out of the System Info report than I needed to.

  • What would cause the printer to only print text in microsoft word but no images

    i have a  hp deskjet D1320 printer, windows xp operating system, and i have always printed greeting cards from microsoft word by inserting an image and then printing it with the printer set to duplex(2sided)printing option, so after you print the image you flip the card around and then print the text on the inside of the card. now the printer does not print any images when i insert the image and then click print it just runs 1 piece of paper through the printer and stops but it will still print text just fine, does anyone know what would cause this type of an issue?

  • Epson Photo R3000 prints as a negative, what is causing the interference?

    Hi All
    A frustrating morning, new printer arrives (yay!),  but now I find my new Epson Photo R3000 prints fine from photoshop but prints come out as a negative image from aperture
    I've already turned the printer settings to use colorsync rather than the epson engine for colour management to no avail - I have to assume that there's something in aperture that is being applied that is causing the issue, but just can't see what.
    I can't be the first to find this as an issue with a new epson out of the box, Can anyone point me to where i can turn off whatever is causing the interference?
    Best Regards
    JT

    interesting - this got me in the right direction.
    Aperture was set to 'black and white', the printer dialogue was usign colorsync to enforce a paper profile generated by i1profiler an and i1io (or an epson profile).
    when i set aperture's rendering brick to do it all 'in the printer' it's fine.
    Cheers, knew it'd be something dumb!

  • What's causing the humming sound?

    Hi.
    Iam using Quad with iSight in one city. My daughter is in another city and is using iMac G5 with attached iSight camera. I hear a disturbing hum or buzzing sound when she speaks. When I speak the hum seems to stop temporarily. I don't think the problem is at my endbut perhaps it is. We've tried repositioning the camera but that had no effect. Any suggestions as to what may be the cause of the hum?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Do what Defcom says at your daughter's end.
    It may the position of the Camera/mic compared to External Speakers and may need them turning down a bit.
    If she has them turned up becuase you are too quite then you will have to put the sound up in the place Defcom says. Ideally the bars should get to between 1/2 and 3/4
