A Headphone jack got stuck in my iPad. Any ideas on how I can get it out?

I was listening to music, and I forced the headphone jack inside, and when I try to get it out, it snapped. any ideas on how I can fix this? can Apple replace my iPad for another one, or can they fix it?

You are the second person tonight that has done this and reported it on here. I would not tell them that you "forced it in" or that could be considered misuse of the iPad!
If there is enough of the "metal part" sticking out of the opening, maybe you could remove the piece with a very small pair of plyers or tweezers - but - if you are not at all comfortable with doing that - then don't do it. Take it to an Apple Store and ask them to remove it for you.
If you do try to remove it - pull straight out from the opening - don't pull out on an angle.

  • Headphone jack got stuck in my apple mac pro

    the headphone jack got stuck in my apple mac pro.. and they are saying i need to change the mother board .. is that true?

    I had the tip break off a headphone plug inside my son's MacBook audio jack. Then it would not play any sounds.
    The professionals at the genius Bar can only propose solutions that they know will be VERY likely to work in fairly short order.  I am under no such constraints. The hopelessness of the situation makes it a little more difficult, but not impossible.
    Since it was already broken, I had nothing to lose, and went after the broken piece with a very fine dental pick.
    After many aggravating minutes of fiddling, I gave up and did something else for a while. I came back to it later and got the broken piece out and everything worked again. YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY.

  • Any ideas on how we could get any sort of shop stamp or other identifying mark onto our fillable pdf on an ipad.

    I am looking for any ideas on how we could get any sort of shop stamp or other identifying mark onto our fillable pdf on an ipad.
    The scenario is that when we do a job as opposed to our regular contract work, at a large nationwide retailer, their accounts people want the shop's stamp, as proof of the work being done.
    Currently the 'paper' service report is just stamped. For the regular contract work, whoever signs the service report just uses their finger to sign the report, on the iPad.
    On a PC the shop could just set up an electronic signature as their 'shop stamp', but the iPad is another story.
    I am having a vision of ink stamps all over the iPad screen. LoL
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Unlike the desktop version of Adobe Reader, Reader mobile products (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support stamp annotations yet.
    If you'd like, you can submit the Feature Request form.  The Product Management team will take your request into consideration for a future release of Adobe Reader for iOS.
    Thank you for the feedback!

    You can transfer the games but you will lose your game progress. now if you've played through game center you might keep something, but I'm not sure, I turn that off. But when I transferred my angry birds from my touch to my ipad i had to replay the levels over

  • My headphone jack is stuck in my ipad

    My head phone jack is stuck in my ipad I need help

    I recently was listening to music And then One of my earphones was not working, wiggling the pug it soon came back. I kept wiggling it to be able to listen to both earphones but then the wire and plastic hold snapped off, leaving the whole of the metal jack in, with just about 1mm or even 0.5mm left above the actual rim of my phone. The only way I could get it out on my own without spending money or waiting 4months for something, I simply got a small tool from my draw - it was a small metal point of a plastic handle - and dragged it out with it. If you use this method be cautious not to scratch your device!

  • A piece of of my headphone jack is stuck in my iPad mini!

    I tried putting my headphones in last night and a piece of the headphone jack broke off. So I took the piece and put it back on and put it into my iPad mini. When I woke up this morning, I took out my headphones from my iPad and I started watching YouTube videos. I noticed there was no sound. When I tried to make it louder, the screen said "headphones". I was confused because my headphones weren't in. I looked inside and the piece that broke off was stuck in there. I couldn't take it out! Someone help me! Now I have to put on headphones to hear stuff from my iPad.

    Are you still getting headphone sound when you plug them in? If the piece that's stuck inside is still in there, I would think it would prevent the headphones from plugging in properly. If you plugged different headphones in, you'll probably push the piece in further and cause more damage. Sorry to say but you may need to contact Apple service via Genius Bar to extract that piece. You might be able to knock it loose/out by flipping the iPad over (heaphone side down) and shaking it while hitting the edge of the iPad with the side of your hand...but maybe not.

  • My iPad Air pictures are a little grainy. The images are not very sharp. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

    Hi, I have an 32gb IPad Air. The picture quality is blurry and grainy. I don't know why it is happening. It is two months old and the quality has always been this way. I am going to a friends wedding in two weeks and I want to figure out how to take good pictures.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Sandrea

    You would be much better off with a point-and-shoot camera, especially for an occasion like a wedding. The iPad Air only has a 5MP camera.
    Make sure you're taking pictures in a well-lit area. You should be able to tap on a face/area on the screen to get the camera to focus. Either of those may help.

  • Does any one know how I can get my construction blueprints on my ipad

    I am an estimator for a general contractor. I recently bought an iPad 2. How do I get blueprints on it?

    Try this app
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/large-viewer/id400600005?mt=8
    Especially made for viewing PDF, TIFF, or images that have paper measurments in meters or yards...
    Other general purpose PDF readers fall over and die when the paper size goes over a meter or 36 inchs.

  • HT1430 I am trying to reset the access code to my ipad any idea on how to do it

    need help resetting accesscode

    You can't.  If you don't remember the passcode you'll need to restore the iPad. 
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

    If you do remember it, you can go to Settings->General->Passcode and change it there.
