When I listen to my iPod with my earphones it gives off a popping sound?

My earphones work perfectly when listening to any other device like my phone but just not to my iPod touch 2nd Gen. The earphones aren't the Apple ones I got with the iPod but others I bought a while back. My friend tried his earphones in my iPod and it sounded perfectly fine. When there are drums in the song it makes a kind of popping sound and the singing is basically taken over by all the other 'popping' instruments so cant hear the singing.
I find this very weird is there any kind of explanation and/or fix for this (besides for buying new earphones or a new iPod)?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other problem.

Try this following it exactly:
Reset your iPod.
1) Slide the lock button to ON.
2) Slide the lock button to OFF.
3) Press 'menu' and 'centre' button together for several seconds.
4) When you see the Apple, press and hold the 'centre' and 'play/pause' buttons for several seconds.

So in the last few days I’ve noticed that pressing my volume change keys actually isn’t changing the volume on my macbook pro at all. When I press the volume up or down keys, it makes the recognisable pop sound but stays at the same volume while the squares go up or down. I mute it but my computer still makes sound. It’s the same with the volume control up the top of the screen, too. I slide it up and down and it doesn’t change the volume at all. The only way I can change the volume is with my speakers or the program I’m in (iTunes, VLC etc). I restarted and it seems to be okay then I go to change it a couple minutes later and it’s back to not working again.
I’ve checked my settings- the “use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard fuction keys” is not switched on, and I have tried a suggestion of moving the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file out of the library and onto the desktop and restarting and neither of those seem to make any difference whatsoever. I’ve tried to find online forums but the only suggestions I found were those two and they didn’t work.
I’m just annoyed because I usually have the worst luck with technology but my macbook had been going strong and I got it because of the apparent lack of things that could go wrong, but of course even if there is one thing that could go wrong it will happen to me.
Please help!

HT4859 why when i installed my new ipod with icloud did all my music go off my itunes?

I Previously bought a new iPod and I installed it on my iTunes with iCloud but when I recently went onto iTunes most of my music has gone but it's all ok on my iPod because of iCloud, how do I transfer it all onto my iTunes again? Thanks

If you are using iTunes Match, your music should already be in your iTunes library. If you aren't, you can transfer music purchased from the iTunes store from your iPod to your iTunes library by first authorizing your computer for all Apple IDs used to purchase the music in Store>Authorize This Computer, then connecting the iPod to your computer and in iTunes going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
If you no longer have the old iPod, you'll have to redownload your previoulsy purchased music from the iTunes store, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

Phone calls go directly to voicemail when Im listening to mp3 player with headset.

I was under the impression that if I was listening to my media player on my Blackberry 8120 with the headset that came with it, that I would be interupted if someone called. I tested this out the other day and my call went directly to voicemail. Is there a setting that will change this? I checked everywhere I knew to check on the phone and couldnt come up with anything.
Also, not that it matters that much but my cell phone led blinks 3 different colors. Red, Green and Blue. I have no clue what the difference is, can any one help a blackberry nub?
Thanks
Jason
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What profile is your device set on?
For the second question, the device blinks red if there is an unread message or notification; green is when there is an active network connection; and blue is when a bluetooth device is connected.

When converting word doc to pdf with Acrobat words getting cut off?

Hi all,
As you can see from this example:
When converting from word document the words on the pages in the final PDF are getting cut off on the edge of the page?
I've adjusted the margins in page layout in MS Word to Normal, Moderate & Wide etc, etc
Never ever had this problem before...does anybody have any idea why or what I could do?
Thanks in advance.

As a quick check, set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer in WORD and then check for the proper operation. Also be sure the paper dimensions and orientation of your document and the printer properties match up (I have had some problems with the orientation when I have auto-rotate on). You may have to play some to get something to work. I have done that before and settled on a process that works for me, but I can't claim it all makes perfect sense. To many things are going on in some sense.

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.

... iPod with video makes noises...

OK... so just recently my iPod with video (30 gig) started to make odd sounds... They sound like mechanical type sounds...
It did this when I first turned it on and started a song... (also when I restarted it)
I haven't dropped my iPod recently or do anything that might have messed up anything inside... D:
Oh... By the way... I got my iPod abott a year ago... During Christmas last year...
I honestly have no idea if its still under any kind of warranty, so I'm not sure what to do about this...
I need advice or something...
My iPod is my baby and I don't know what to do...
PC! Windows XP Pro

Umm....I hear that from my iPod all the time, but if I were to listen carefully. It's not loud or noticeable when you're doing things, but if you were real quiet, like at night when I use to to fall asleep to, I can hear the humming and such, much like a TV would when it's on. I really can't tell or don't know if what you're hearing is abnormal or just regular hard drive/screen noises. All hard drives will make some kind of noise (it's the read/write heads moving rapidly over the platters that makes the crackle sounds or whatever).

IPod with touch wheel 10GB problem with downloaded audiobooks

Hi,
I might have better luck getting my question answered in this forum. I downloaded some audiobooks from iTunes onto my iMac with no problem. The problem arose when I updated my 10GB iPod with touch wheel (yes, a Jurassic age model from an era when NO ONE knew what an iPod was). Of the five audiobooks I downloaded and subsequently transferred to my iPod, I could only get my iPod to open and play two of them. The other audiobook files would simply be skipped over as if they weren't even there.
I've reset my iPod twice to try and fix this problem.
Does anybody have any other ideas?
Thanks,
Arnel

I have the same model iPod and downloaded and audiobook from iTunes for the first time a couple nights ago and have a similar problem. The book is in three parts. They all play fine on my iBook but my iPod skips the first two parts and will only play the third.
When I select part one on my iPod the screen displays the correct length of the segment, then skips to part two and shows the correct length, then finally skips to part three and plays it just fine.
If I only load part one and part two, the iPod goes through the same process but reverts back to the main menu screen without playing anything.
I had an idea a short while ago I am going to try when I get home. I did a get info on one of the audiobook files and it says it is the same file format as songs from the iTunes store. However, the extension is different. Protected song files are 'name.m4a' (I think, maybe .m4b) and the audiobook files are 'name.m4p.' I think those are the extensions, for some reason I'm having a brain **** right now. Anyway, I'm going to try changing the audiobook extension to match song file extensions and see if that works.
My thought is that the different extension for the audiobooks is how iTunes knows to put the files in the 'Audiobooks' list in iTunes instead of 'Music' or 'Podcasts' etc.
I'll post again after I give it a try.
