Why does my audio only work when i put water on the audio plug?

whenever i want to listen to music, i have to put water, or some liquid on the TRS (audio plug for earphones) for it to work. It will not detect an earphone without water. There is NOTHING wrong with my earphones, they work in other things without water. They are iFrogz. I need help really bad because i dont want to carry a water bottle on the bus and dip my cord in it JUST to listen to music. It is really annoying

It sounds like a hardware problem, so it's probably not something that can be solved without repair (or replacement). There may be a fault in the headphones jack that affects contact with headphones plug. Water is an electrical conductor, so it improves the connection enough so it works temporarily. That's my theory... But because water is an electrical conductor, it can cause a short circuit that may damage the iPod. That's why the warranty is voided if you accidentally get your iPod wet.
You can check your current warrany coverage with the iPod's serial number, here

I believe Apple uses the serial number most of the time, to verify coverage. If you have an Apple Store nearby, there are Apple tech support staff at the store's Genius Bar. You can make a reservation (to avoid a wait) using the store's web page.

Why does my mac only work when plugged in?

I have a late 2010 macbook air 11 inch. The battery condition is normal and about has 650 cycles. The light on my charger is green and my computer only stays on when the charger is plugged in. When I unplug it the computer just turns off and my battery says its not charging and that the power source is the adapter. Do I need a new one or is this fixable?

Definitely below the 1,000 max cycle count > Mac notebooks: Determining battery cycle count

Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive? The USB drive has its own power supply. I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

Does home sharing only work if you're connected to the wi-fi?

You don't have the typical symptoms that I associate the following issue with (normally the error kicks in just when folks visit the Store), but just in case try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:

After latest FP update, why does my website only work in Firefox.

I spent ages the other night trying to fix my website, as it suddenly stopped working in IE9. Tried all sorts of FP installs with no avail. Eventually went back to IE8, think 9 was the problem, and still my site won't work. Out of 4 browsers, IE8 (or 9), Opera, Safari and FF, only FF displays my site. If I understand correctly, FF doesn't use the same plugin as the rest. My question is, why does it only work in one browser, and not the others.
If I use my HTC Desire, the site works fine too.
Just to be clear though, this isn't just on one PC, it is on three. I have one running Win7 64-Bit, one running XP Pro, and one running Vista Business. None of them will display the site with IE8. Oh, and my WIn7 machine dual boots with XP Home, and that doesn't work either.
Even my Vista Business machine, which actually hosts the site, won't display it properly.
The site was created using SWF files built in Flash CS3, if that's relevant. One AS2 file, and 2 AS3 files on a page (usually)
You can check the site here www[DOT]digital[DASH]essence[DOT]co[DOT]uk
Sorry for the unfriendly address, I don't trust forums and website addresses.

It's the forums that make the image tiny, if you do a right-click > copy shortcut, you can then paste it into a new tab, which will let you see the full size image. It's a 3360x1050 image, maybe a bit big for the forums.
Basically though, the left image is IE, and that shows an error box. The centre image is Opera, and that shows an empty screen. The right image is FF, and that is how it should look.
If it's a machine specific error, then I can't work out why it is on several machines in my house... very odd.

Why does usb headset only work in one port?

HT204389 Why does talk text only work sometimes????? At times it works fine and then it will either show me the blue circles forever or just stop without converting anything I said.

Why does talking to Siri only work periodically???? Sometimes it does fine and other times it just keeps running and nothing happens! When I am tring to talk to text in messeges it does the same thing. Sometimes fine, other times the blue circles forever and then...nothing ! Does this happen to others??? Does anyone have a solution to this???

The trascription doesn't take place on your phone. The audio file is processed a little on the phone and then sent to Apple's servers for the bulk of the work, and the resulting text is sent back to your phone.
Sometimes there might be problems connecting to the internet to send the file. Sometimes there might be problems with Apple's servers in a specific region. In my case if I go outside my house a bit my phone will still be trying to connect to the wifi (there is just a little bit of a signal). There isn't enough wifi to handle sending the audio files to Apple, but enough that the phone keeps trying to use it.
Things that sometimes help. Turn off wifi if it is weak. Put your phone into airplane mode for a few seconds and then turn the radio back on.
If the problem is at Apple's end. Just wait a while.

Why does my .vi not work when used as a sub vi

I have a vi that produces a picture on the front panel. Displayed in the picture are solid grey levels for testing. Two grey levels are chosen inside the vi and then the picture flickers betwen the two. When I run the vi by itself it runs wonderfully, but when I run it as a sub vi it does not work. Even when I just place the sub vi in the block diagram and connect all of the controls and indicators up it doesn't work.When I use the highlighter it shows that the control values go into the sub vi and the sub vi lights up, but there is nothing output from the sub vi to the wired indicators. When I open up the Block diagram of the original vi from which the sub vi came, and highlight it while running the subvi, it
shows that it is working with information running to all of the indicators. If I start a new program with only the sub vi in the block diagram and all of the controls and indicators connected, should it not behave as the sub vi? I will attach the vi that I am using as a sub vi, and I welcome anyone to place it in the block diagram of a new vi, connect all of the controls and indicators up and see if it works. I know that there is something completely obviopus that I am missing, but I can't see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think the subVI is working just fine when called from the main. I think what you're expecting is an indicator on the main VI to update as the subVI runs. What you will see on the main front panel is just the last value that a subVI has. That is the intended behavior of subVIs and function calls in all other languages. If you want to to update a front panel indicator while a subVI runs, pass a reference to the indicator into the subVI and update that reference instead of the indicator on the subVI. The other way is via a global variable. I've attached a modified version of your porgram.
