I receive the error: wp_enqueue_script was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or init hooks.

But my code looks perfectly fine to me in my theme's functions.php which you can see here:

<?php

// Register and Load jQuery Plugins
function enqueue_scripts(){
wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); // load jquery with theme
wp_enqueue_script('pulldown', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/pulldown.js');
wp_enqueue_script('supersized', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/supersized.3.2.7.min.js');
wp_enqueue_script('metadata', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.metadata.js');
wp_enqueue_script('ytplayer', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.mb.YTPlayer.js');
wp_enqueue_script('placeholder', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/placeholder.js');
wp_enqueue_script('mediaqueries', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/css3-mediaqueries.js');
wp_enqueue_script('countdown', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.countdown.pack.js');

} add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_scripts');

?>

Can you see a problem here?

are you using any plugins? – Milo Feb 18 at 21:08
Maybe a plugin is using the same function name as you. What happens when you use a properly prefixed function name? – toscho♦ Feb 18 at 21:15
Disable all Plugins, change Theme to Twenty Twelve, and verify the error message disappears. Then switch back to your Theme, and verify whether the error message appears. If it does, the problem is in your Theme, and you'll need to look for other calls to wp_enqueue_script() than the ones you've included in your question. If the error message does not appear after switching to your Theme, the problem is in one of your Plugins. Re-enable Plugins, one-by-one, until you determine the culprit. – Chip Bennett Feb 18 at 21:53
Do you have a line number to go with that error? Are you sure it is this code causing the problem? – s_ha_dum Feb 18 at 21:54
Deactivated all themes & plugins and yes it looks like a plugin is causing this error, this plugin is wordpress.org/support/plugin/ajax-contact-me – Ben Jackson Feb 18 at 22:27
