Why won't HP fix all these speaker problems, brand new laptop & doesn't work

Whats wrong with HP and why won't they help there customers??? They state theres no other record of speaker issues but thats all that seems to be on the forum is speaker issues!!! Brand new $2000.00 laptop, right out of the box and it has these popping and crackiling on start up and shut down. BUYER BEWARE!!!

I am going to assume that you have either taken the laptop back or exchanged it for a working one. Most stores have a 30 day window where you can do this. If you haven't done any of this, then you should. Don't waste your time on a machine that you have just paid 2000.00 $ on.
If you exchange it for a new one, try the laptop out in the store and make their problem. They may have a bad batch.
if they won't let you try it first, then get a refund and shop some place else.
Another thing that I like to do is if I am shopping on line I use my Visa card. Visa protects me against fraudulent on line sellers
(pay-pal won't). Always save the paper trail when you do a Visa purchase. It can be used to prove fraud.
I bought a LG DVD player on line and the company would not honour there 30 day return policy. I returned it any way and more than 30 days went buy. I saved everything and Visa told me what they needed and after a while my money was refunded along with all the shipping charges.
Pay-pal will only protect you against goods not received, but not the quality of goods. That means you could receive a brick in the mail and pay-pal won't do any thing.

Why won't Apple fix the wifi connectivity problem with the iMac and new OS instead of just havin us go through hours of useless mock fixes!

I have spent hours with apple care about this problem with wifi connectivity. According to all the posts I'm not alone. I love my new IMAC
but i'll be glad to go back to my PC just so I can get my email without all the headaches. It seems that Apple has lost interest in
the IMAC and all of the problems associated with the new OS.

Keep in mind that ASC is where people go to get help, so yes, you are seeing reports of people who are having WiFi connection issues. But while it might seem like there are lots of people having trouble, given the sheer number of iMacs in use, it is a very small number. Also keep in mind that WiFi isn't totally under Apple's control. There are dozens of WiFi routers. Even worse, the manufacturers of WiFi routers often release firmware upgrades to fix flaws without ever informing the consumer. And just to add to the confusion, while WiFi 801.2 n routers have been sold for several years, for most of that time there was no agreed upon standard!
So if you'd like help, first, what router do you have and have you checked the vendor site to see that it has the latest firmware?

How do I combine an old itune library thats on an external hardrive and a newer library thats on a newer computer into 1 library and keep them on the external hard drive so I won't use up all my memory on my newer laptop

I copied an old iTunes library off my old Toshiba laptop with windows xp and put it on an external hard drive. I have a newer Microsoft surface pro laptop with windows 8.1. I have a small iTunes library on my newer laptop. I want to combine the 2 libraries into 1, add newer podcasts to the combined library daily, but keep it all on my external hard drive, so I don't use all my memory on my surface pro. I have an older ipod classic that I have all my old library on. I love it and don't want to stop using it, but want to be able to add podcasts from my 1 library from time to time. What I usually do is download podcasts for a few weeks then, download them to my ipod. Haven't done any of this in about a year. But want to start getting regular with it again. PS I'm not very computer savy Thanks for any help or advice!

This article explains how to open a different library: iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one. The assumption is that the whole library was copied to the external drive from the old Toshiba laptop, not just the media. If that isn't the case make a new library on the external drive in a folder called \iTunes and move the media inside \iTunes\iTunes Media before adding it to the library.
Once iTunes is using the library on the external drive you can add any content stored on the internal drive to the library by drag & drop or by moving/copying the content into \iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes. Make sure the option under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to Copy files to the folder iTunes Media when adding to library is selected. Once complete you can delete the original copies on the internal drive.
Should your library contain duplicates after merging see this recent post on deduping.
If there are ratings, playlists, play counts, or content stored on the iPod classic and not located anywhere else then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Ideally you should backup your library to a second drive for security. See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suggested strategy.

WHY!!! Brand new IPod doesn't work.

I bought a brand new 30 gb Ipod to replace my old Ipod that won't work anymore. Now this one won't work. It is a couple of days old! I installed the software and put some music on the ipod. I have ipod speakers and the ipod works fine on them. It works fine when plugged into the computer. As soon as I take the ipod off a power source it fades until the screen is blank and then it will not respond until I plug it back in. Ive tried everything. Reset the ipod, let the battery drain completely nothing works. The battery says fully charged but it only works plugged into the computer or another power source. Please help! I have restored reset I've done everything. This is just opened from the packaging. Why is ipod equiptment so fragile? If it can't be fixed how do I get a refund because I now have to Ipods that don't work.

And your iPod just doesn't do anything if it's not connected to an external power source? This is interesting. Toggle your Hold switch (on, off, on, off), and follow these reset instructions:
0. Make sure your Hold switch is off.
1. Lay your iPod down on your computer desk.
2. Connect your iPod to your computer (if it's not already).
3. Use your pointer finger from your left hand, and press down on the Menu button.
4. Wait a few seconds.
5. Use your pointer finger from your other hand, and press down on the Select button.
6. Hold them down together until the Apple logo appears.

Seeing all these little problems, I think I might just return my new MacBook...

I'm a heavy PC user switching over to Mac because of all the hype and positive comments I've heard from others, but seeing all these little problems everyone is having doesn't motivate me to continue.
Few days after I got my MacBook (somewhere else) I took it with me to a Mac Store in the mall. I was excited until I was basically told I wasn't worthy because I got it somewhere else. That made me feel really good. I think I'd rather my PC; I'm just not seeing the real benefits to sinking two grand down on something I could easily get for a fifth of that.
Anyone want to help with my baptism into the world of Mac?

I am being careful not to stub my toes since this is only my sixth day with my newly-entered Mac experience. I like the MacBook so far. I suppose most of my issues are geared towards being a new Mac user, but I am sure functional issues are yet to arise and surprise. I haven't seen many, if any, functional problems yet, probably because I don't know what to look for and Mac is new to me.
I have everything up and running, i.e. emails, internet, etc. I upgraded to Lion (was told I wouldn't have to pay for the upgrade, but I did because I couldn't find the way around the payment button).
I have been through many a PC over the past 15 years and know what I know in terms of programs and their tools, at least the ones I use. Familiar story, perhaps? With Mac it seems I have to relearn everything, as I will explain a little more below. I like having a number pad and both delete and backspace keys. Many of the programs, applications, downloads and software I run on my PC are either not compatible with Mac (and a wheel-less mouse) or they are just not the same in terms of set up and use. For instance, in PC, Firefox allows me to close the program and reopen all my tabs when I come back. Not so in Firefox with Mac, or at least I didn't find that option.
The most improtant factors for my dicision to Mac-Up were primarily
1. The security
2. The speed
3. Creative aid programs
Example- With the PC programs I have used, I was able to simply play and learn. Not so thus far with some of the I-stuff. The tools I know and use everyday with PC programs are there, I just don't know where to look to find them or what they are called.
Example- How do I shutdown a program that doesn't want to shutdown? Searching help to "force shutdown" doesn't produce any solid results.
I went to the store where I purchased my MacBook. While there, another customer was asking about features. I rested my attention over the Mac instructor's shoulder to listen and learn (and a lot I did learn), but I realized that of all the things I was doing with my PC programs, despite having the ability to do the same with Mac programs, they were all called something different and/or used a little bit differently. For example, in MS Pub, its a Transparency tool; in Pages its an alpha tool. Stuff like that. For me, little stuff like that can really eat up a lot of time. It would be different if I was just starting my computer journey, but such is not the case.

Hi Doomtrooper,
When you updated your iPhone 4S and iPad3 to iOS6, what exactly do you mean when you can't access the iTunes store? Have you checked your connection to the network?
Please be a little more specific

Why Apple don't fix half year serious problem with HD3000, Lion and Adobe products? Doesn't Apple really care about advanced users?

Why Apple don't fix half year serious problem with HD3000 drivers, Lion and Adobe products? Doesn't Apple really care about advanced users?
I have Mac mini and Macbook Pro 13". Bouth with HD3000. And I can't work at all. With Snow Lepard I had no problems. It's tiny problem in code. And such pain for lots of users!

If you have a problem with Adobe products, voice your issues with them.
It is the software developers responsibility to maintain compatability
with any operating system, beit OSX or Windows.

Why won't apple allow current "AppleCare" holders upgrade to "AppleCare "? Doesn't this seem unfair for such a giant in the tech industry to not offer such an opportunity?

Sorry - not understanding. What do you mean by "upgrade"? When you purchase an Apple Product, you get AppleCare automatically - 90 Days of Telephone Support, and a 1-Year Warranty.
You can then purchase an AppleCare Protection Plan for Mac, iPod, and Apple TV, or AppleCare+ for iPad or iPhone.
AppleCare Protection Protection Plans can be purchased any time within the 1-year warranty period.
Apple+ must be purchased within 30 days of purchase.
AppleCare Protection Plan extends the warranty to 3 years for Macs, and to 2 years for Apple TV and iPod.
AppleCare+ extends the warranty to 2 years for iPad and iPhone.
There is no "upgrade"....You either purchase the extened warranty protection plan or you don't. And unlike most extended warranty plans, you are NOT required to purchase it at the time you purchase your Apple product.
What's the beef here?

IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

Why won't my ipod charge when i use my new usb

why won't my ipod charge when i use my new usb is used?

A new USB what? Cable? If the old one still works and the new one does not that would point to a bad new cable.

All of a sudden, directional down key doesn't work?

I'm on my boyfriend's macbook pro.

Thank you!

Get a new BF with a Mac that works.
Try resetting your SMC and PRAM.
Resetting the System Management Controller >>
If that does not work, you might try an Archive and Install to eliminate a software issue, but my guess is, he may need the keyboard replaced.

I have approx 600 photos on my iPad which I cannot import onto my pc because they had been previously synced from a pc which I no longer have. I wish to transfer these photos to my new laptop and delete from my iPad can anyone help me?

I have approx 600 photos on my iPad which had previously been synced from a pc I no longer have. I want to get these photos onto my new laptop and remove them from my iPad. Can anyone help please? Thanks

To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they were on your original computer.
In terms of then deleting them from your iPad, if you connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and select an empty photo folder on the Photos tab in iTunes and then sync it, that should remove those photos from your iPad.
Have you synced the iPad to your new computer yet ? If not then you might find this user-tip for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
And there is also this page for recovering content (e.g. music copied from CDs) from a device if you don't have a copy of it on a backup or your new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
