Why does my usb cable stop working

So I have bought about 7 usb cables in the past 8 months for my iPod 4, and they all have broken within a month or two. Why is this happening?

Just how are they "broken"?

Why does my USB headset stop working after an hour?

I've tried both a standard headset with USB adapter AND a USB headset directly in both a Intel iMac and a PowerMac G5 and every occasion after approxiamtely one hour the mic feature begins to fail. The headphones seem unaffected.
Any clues?

Hi Christopher, I have this same problem with my USB headset. I have a dongle that lets you plug in a headset to the back of it. It works great for an hour, then everyone tells me I sound like a robot. I can hear them fine. I unplug and plug back in and it works fine again.
Did you ever figure this out?
I'm running 10.8.5 and it happens in G+Hangouts, Go To Meeting, and Adobe Connect.
Weird. Not terribly taxing, but annoying nonetheless...

You can get that info by right clicking on "My Computer" Uusually on the desktop) and selecting Properties in the drop down menu.
And what version of Fire Fox are you using?
And which plugin are you using, and is it for Flash Player?

Why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs?

I had my iPod Shuffle for about a month now and it's already causing me trouble.
I would play a couple of songs, but when I go to change it, it stops working. I turn it off and on again only to have it take me back to where I started off at (e.g. Let's say I have 100 songs, I start at 50 and I get to 55 before it shuts off. When I turn it back on, it starts at 50 all over again). This process would happen over and over again with seemingly no end.
So my question is, why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs and how can I fix it?
I already tried using the iTunes troubleshooting guide, but nothing worked.
Details -
4th Generation
I only use it at the gym or when I'm running
I've only used the Apple products that came with it so far
(e.g. charger, headphones, etc.)
881 MB are still left
Music stops randomly, no common number or pattern

I had the same problem, I purchased a new ipod shuffle, followed the instructions but it would stop after a few songs and I would have to shut it off, wait and turn it back on and it would go back to the same song and then once again, after a few songs it would shut off. I returned the ipod and got another one, same thing happened. This is how I resolved the issue.
1. open itunes, make sure its up to date, then connect your shuffle to your pc
2.on the left of the itunes window, select your ipod, then at the top select music then check the sync box and select "selected playlists"
3.then go back and click on your ipod on the left, a message will appear just select apply
all of your music should be emptied from your ipod.
4.delete all of your playlists on the left, this will not delete anything from your library. Delete the "purchased" playlist under itunes store on the left as well, once again this will not delete anything from your library
5.There should be an arrow just in front of your ipod, click on this arrow and you should see your music file for the ipod appear, this should be the only file that you see, everything else should be deleted.
6. go to your music library and check only the songs that you want to load into your ipod. Double click on each song to make sure that they all play.
If you find a song that does not play you should be asked to authorize it, don't waste your time that did not solve the issue for me, instead cancel to authorize the song and then delete the song and move it to recycle bin. Once the song is deleted a cloud should appear, click on the cloud and download the song again, when done, make sure the song plays and that it is checked.
7.After you have made sure that all of the songs play and are checked, click on your ipod once more, located to the left, check the box "sync only checked songs" then from the top select music. In the music window select "sync music' and then select "entire music Library"
8. Go back to the left and click on the arrow in front of your ipod, you should see the music file, click on the music file and you should see all of your music being loaded to your ipod.
9. When all of the music is done loading, eject your ipod by clicking on the arrow located after the battery symbol where your ipod appears on the left
10. Turn on your ipod and scroll through your songs to make sure that the problem is resolved.
Not sure if all of this was necessary but it worked for me.

Why does Premier elements keep stopping working?

Premier elements keeps shutting down with a message saying that it has stopped working and will find asolution to the problem on line but it never connects with anything nor does it provide any answers.

Garth,
What has happened is that recently, some camera mfgrs. have broken from long-established "standards," regarding their video output. We see more of this with less-expensive stills cameras, that also shoot video.
For decades, the standards for SD (Standard Definition) Video has been:
NTSC:
720 x 480 Standard 4:3 with a PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) of 0.9 (pixels are taller, than wide).
720 x 480 Widescreen 16:9 with a PAR of 1.2 (pixels are wider, than tall).
PAL:
720 x 576 Standard 4:3 with a PAR of 1.06 (pixels are wider, than tall, but not by much).
720 x 576 Widescreen 16:9 with a PAR of 1.422 (pixels are wider, than tall).
768 x 576 Square Pixel w/ a PAR of 1.00
With Stills, which usually use Square Pixels, the size of 640 x 480 works fine, but with Video, the cameras used non-square pixles, in the appropriate PAR. Camera mfgrs. got lazy, and just decided on their own, that they would not bother creating Video with rectangular pixels, like the video standards, and just use the 640 x 480 w/ PAR of 1.0.
Now, PrE 10 was coded, before this became so popular. It is also built around video standards, with output, such as DVD-Video the main focus.
If enough camera mfgrs. have begun producing cameras, that create video at the 640 x 480 w/ PAR = 1.0, then I feel that Adobe will include that Project Preset, and maybe as soon as PrE 11, due out in a few months.
PrPro handles such things differently, in that it offers a Custom Project/Sequence Preset, which allows the user to match the Project/Sequence to odd footage in most attributes. However, PrE does not offer such, and only addresses more standard formats. I have filed Feature Requests for that Custom Preset for about 5 years now, but so far, no-go. As PrPro costs about 6x what PrE does, there WILL be some differences between the two programs, and so far, this is one of them.
We will just have to wait and see what is introduced in the future - though by then, camera mfgrs. might go off on another tangent, and decide to use some other format and PAR for their cameras. Who knows?
Some users have had success at hacking PrE's Presets, to accommodate other formats (several such hacked Presets are listed in the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, with links to that work), but I have not seen one for 640 x 480 PAR = 1.0.
If one does mind either a bit of Scaling, and cropping of the Video Frame, or a little bit of distortion, they can use that footage in a Standard Preset, and just adjust it a little.
Good luck, and I hope that this explains why Adobe has not caught up to this deviation from the standards.

Why does pinch-to-zoom stop working randomly?

For hours at a time, pinch-to-zoom will stop working, and swipe to go back/forth in safari will cause the page to crash. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a work around?

Restarting is not much of a solution; this has happened to me twice in as many days now. What is the permanent solution?

Why have my USB drives stopped working in my MacBook but work in all PCs?

I currently have a MacBook (older version), and recently my USBs stopped working properly. As soon as I put it into the Mac I get a message saying that it wasn't ejected properly, and it won't open the files. However I haven't had this problem on any PCs I use.
I really need to do work at home as I am a teacher and am also currently writing a Thesis - and not being able to work at home is a disaster!!
I have a very basic understanding of computers, so would really appreciate anyone's advice and help in how to get this issue fixed.
Thank you.
Elly

I'd be worried about this. I'd expect the mac to open the files on the flash drive with a warning message.
I'd recommend that you backup all your data on these flash drives on your pc.
-- Flash drives are very cheap these day, get more.
-- are you ejecting the flash drives properly from Windows? You should.
-- There is an option to turn off displaying flash drives on your desktop. Finder > Preferences..
for me I check Hard disks
-- You could use disk utility to repair the filesystem.

TS1307 Why does send mail just stop working and how do you fix it?

Using MacBook Pro bought last Chrismas and its mail client 5.2
In the last 2 weeks send mail has stopped working for both my wife and myself (we have different logins / accounts / email address providers)
We have tried different wifi / isp providers
rebuilding the mail database
accessing preferences and changing the default ports to specified port 25 and then back again
taking the mail accounts off-line and then back on again
deleting the accounts and then creating just one simple one (GMail)
no change - send mail still does not go.
What should we do now?
What have we done wrong to cause this to fail in the first place?
It was working fine, but now it is not.
It is quite worryingand a fix would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hmmm, here's the opposite problem/fix...
Gmail send but not receive...
Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:
https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptch
Is your gMail POP or IMAP?
If IMAP...
Is the Outgoing server smtp.gmail.com, port 25, SSL on, & Authentication = Password

USB Cable stopped working

I've had the phone 2 months and the cable is mint but it just stopped working....
Is there any way I can get a replacement online?

If you bought the phone new in a box then the accessories are guaranteed for 12 months
You may want to
1. Try the cable on another device
2. Try another cable on the phone - to confirm
3. Take the cable back to where you purchased the phone from or an Apple store
4. If you want to do this online - open a chat with Apple

Why has my hdmi cable stopped working?

My sister and I both have macbook pros (purchased Sept 2011), the same samsung HD TV and the same hdmi cable.
The hdmi cables worked absolutely fine for a good few months after we bought them from the apple store, however recently the cables have both stopped working completely! The TV stays blank and simply says 'No signal' and the laptop doesnt change screen at all. I've tried different settings on the laptops, turned both TV and laptop on and off etc but with no luck. It's making me think that the faulty variable is the cable? I doubt I'd be able to get a refund or excange from apple since they were bought a while ago.
If anyone has any suggestions/explainations it would really help!

Be advised that a kindle is not an Apple product. I suggest that you contact Amazon.
Ciao.

Why does photoshop cc 2014 stop working when extracting 3D

I recently acquired photoshop cc 2014 and would like to use 3D. When I try to extrude a file, my photoshop stops working. I have an AMD Radeon HD 8400 graphics card.

Hello Mylenium,
Thank you for the reply, how would I go about providing detailed system info? Is there an automated method that displays the necessary information? Also, it might be worth noting that my older version of Photoshop (CC x64bit (NOT 2014)) works completely fine.
