Earphone buttons not working on iphone but work perfectly well on mac

Hi,
As of a couple of days the buttons on the earphones that came along with my iphone have stopped working with the phone. That is, I cant raise or lower the volume using the buttons when I listen to music, nor can I play/pause songs or answer calls using the button in the middle. The sound from the earphones works perfectly well (that is, I can listen to music), and so does the mic (I can talk to people using the earphones).
Just now though, I used the earphones with my macbook and the buttons suddenly work. So is the fault with my phone? Is there anything I can do?

Hear, hear!
That earphone jack attracts more lint that a bellybutton. I just cleaned mine out (the earphone jack) and remote functionality returned like a dream!

  • Imessage stops working on iPhone but works on iPad

    Hi there!
    My imessage will be working perfectly fine on my iPad and iPhone and then suddenly it will stop working on my iPhone but work on the iPad.
    Over tried restarting my iPhone and the internet connection is fine as all other apps work fine on the iPhone.
    And after 5 hours or so, my iPhone will have imessage working again?!
    This keeps happening!
    Please help!!!

    Go into MESSAGES under SETTINGS on each device and sign out of the account then sign back in.  I've had some difficulty particular after upgrading to IOS 8 and signing out and back into the account has fixed it.
    You may have tried this already but wanted to mention it.

  • People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version

    i am using sharepoint 2010 and windows authentication
    recently i have updated my ie to ie11 and problem goes here.
    when i try to select from people picker, there are an unexpected error happened 
    however when i use other ie version, people picker work fine, what goes wrong?
    i have already added my system as trusted site
    if there any others thing i miss out?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version.
    IE 11 is known to have compatibility issues on SharePoint 2010, please make sure to:
    first of all, try installing latest update for IE 11 (several compatibility issues were fixed since the first release)
    add the site to compatibility view (in IE> Tools> Compatibility view settings> type site name> add)
    add the site to trusted sites and set the zone security level to low (in IE> Internet Options> Security> trusted sites> sites>add your site there> ok> custom level> select low> reset> ok)
    You can use developer tools (f12) and set browser mode to the version that is most compatible with your environment.

  • I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My wireless mouse with not scroll in mail but works fine in other applications? Any suggestions?

    I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My apple wireless mouse will not scroll in Mail but works fine in other applications.
    Any suggestions?

    First, see this discussion. If the solution suggested there doesn't work for you, continue.
    If you've installed a Mail plugin called "Mail Unread Menu" and you know how to remove it, please do that, then quit and relaunch Mail. Test. Otherwise, see below.
    Back up all data.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:  
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select 
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
    2. Repeat with this line:
    /Library/Mail/Bundles
    This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images?

    Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images. When the videos is drop onto the tracking object the videos corner don't appear highlighted. I am working on windows 7 with version 13.1.

    ivanhoeeurope
    Are you within 30 days of purchase for the Premiere Elements 13? And, did you purchase as a download from Adobe? If so, you can
    apply for a return/refund for 13. If you purchased elsewhere, then you would be governed by the return/refund policy of the seller.
    Adobe no longer sells version 12, so you would have to find a vendor who still has it in stock and purchase it. There is no way to "downgrade"
    13 to 12.
    What you may want to do is to download and install the Premiere Elements 12 tryout from the following web site to verify that 12 Motion
    Tracking works for you; whereas 13 cannot with regard to use of video for the Motion Tracking source media.
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    Apparently this web site does not sell the tryout. It just makes it available for use.
    Before I posted my reply to you I looked at Motion Tracking with video source media on both Premiere Elements 12/12.1 and 13/13.1 on the same Windows 7 64 bit computer.
    If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm.

    The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm. i find this very convenient being a microsoft product. anybody else wonder why this new version happens to not be safari compatible? does anybody know if it works on the PC version of safari? if not, i find this to be a blatant move on microsofts part to bias the safari browser (especially since its basicly new on the window platform). forcing safari/hotmail users to "have" to use another browser to access their hotmail accounts.

    I have been successfully using Hotmail and Gmail with Safari for a long time. For roughly the past month, that relationship is rocky at best. At times, one of the following actions suddenly opens Hotmail, but it is a short-lived solution:
    (a) Hotmail directly
    (b) Hotmail Home>Hotmail
    (c) Sign up to Windows Hotmail
    (d) Deletion of prescribed cookies, resetting, etc. - made no difference
    Both Firefox and Opera work fine with Hotmail - especially Opera is very fast.
    In addition, Safari and Gmail does not work with Attachments, but otherwise Gmail is OK.
    I suspect I have to wait for a Safari fix because in my case I do not wish to abandon Hotmail, and Safari is a given. I would think that Safari would want to stay competitive with the two biggies, Hotmail and Gmail, which must have large numbers of users.
    I certainly would appreciate any other suggested fixes.

  • Earphones' button not working, iPhone 4.

    So,
    I've recently upgraded to iPhone 4 from my old iPhone 3G
    And I found pretty quickly that the earphones' button does not function at all.
    I mean, the button you use to answer calls or control the music doesn't do neither.
    The problem is not in my earphones, they are still working on a 3GIi tried
    also I tried 2 pairs - one are apple's the second are skullcandy's both worked fine before.
    Now, I thought i got a defective device so I tried the earphones on my brother's iPhone 4 and it didn't work there either.
    Is that a coincidence or did apple stop supporting 'in-line' control buttons??
    Thanks

    The only advice we can give is buy a phone in the country  you want to use it in, it's hardly a secret if you do a little research that the iphone does not have an international warranty.  I thought they sold them in India now?

  • IMessage working on iPhone but not on MacBook Pro or iPad

    I've been working on this issue for several days to no avail. I've even worked through it with multiple technicians on AppleCare (and they actually made the problem worse). I cannot send any messages via iMessages on my Macbook and...in the process of troubleshooting it, lost the ability to send imessages on my macbook. My iPhone (even when the only thing it is connected to is wifi) works fine. I'm using the most up-to-date version of Mavericks. I'm using the most up-to-date version of iOS. The only thing that the technicians and I could figure out to spark this had to do with 2-step authentication. Has anyone else successfully resolved this issue before?

    HI,
    In System Preferences > Internet Accounts  you can enable some email type addresses (they may or may not be actual email addresses) to be able to join various services.
    Therefore a Google ID  can be activated  for Messages as Google allow Google Mail IDs to use their GoogleTalk Service which in turn  happens to be a Google Server.
    At Facebook (if you have an account there) you can enable Chat which gives you a Facebook Chat ID  which also runs off a Jabber server (the ID is similar to your regular ID  but has chat in the name and does not work with the Mail App)
    Apple Issued IDs (@mac.com @me.com and @icloud.com ending IDs) will work as AIM valid Screen Names  in Messages until the 30th June at least (Then @mac.com and @me.com names will stop).
    The iOS version of Messages will send either iMessages  to Apple IDs and iPhone Numbers or in some cases will send SMS to other phones including iPhones that may not have enough service coverage to do iMessaging.
    Of course people may use their Google ID as their Apple ID and use it in the Messages app on the Mac which in turn may mean it is the same on the iOS device.
    The same can be done with  Yahoo ID.
    This means the email IDs from both those services could be used as a Messages account anyway, the iMessages ID as the Apple ID and be active for Mail in Internet Accounts.

  • ActiveSync autodiscover not working for iPhone but for Android and Windows Phone

    Hi
    We have setup an Exchange 2013 hosted environment, where different mail domains are running on it.
    The main domain is mydomain.com. One of the client domains is customer.com.
    Autodiscover for customer.com has a cname which points to autodiscover.mydomain.com, on our firewall this url is redirected to autodiscover-s.mydomain.com, where our public certificate for mydomain.com is applied. Autodiscover for all
    our customers finally ends at autodiscover-s.mydomain.com.
    Outlook WebApp, Outlook Anywhere and ActiveSync for all customers is reachable through mail.mydomain.com.
    Everything works fine, except of autodiscover for iPhones. I always have to enter the server name mail.mydomain.com manually. After that ActiveSync works on iPhones as well.
    The Problem doesn’t exist on Androids and Windows Phones.
    Any suggestion?
    Regards
    Peter

    Yes, Interestingly same configuration is working in my home lab, but not working at customer. The version is 10.5

  • WiFi in Asia works on iPhone but not Macbook Pro

    I am currently traveling around Asia and I have my Macbook Pro and iPhone with me.  I have had no problems connecting to WiFi networks with my iPhone (currently typing this message with it on my hotel's WiFi).  However, my Macbook Pro has had endless issues.  Sometime it works, but often it doesn't.  The most common issue is that it gets a self assigned IP address and can't connect to the internet.  It can usually find and connect to the WiFi network, but from there things get dodgy.  As I said, it sometimes works fine.  I would say it works on 1 out of every 3 networks that I try. 
    So far I have tried the following:
    Renewing DHCP Lease (without client ID and with made up client ID)
    Disabling firewall.
    Turning off wifi and them back on.
    Restarting computer.
    Deleting WiFi service and recreating.
    Creating new "location".
    Repairing permissions.
    Using different login account.
    Manually entering TCP/IP settings copied from iPhone.
    "Forgetting network" and rejoining.
    None of the above has helped, except that one time renewing DHCP lease with a made up client ID did the trick.
    I have the summer 2012 MacBook Pro 13" with OS 10.7.5 installed.
    Any help would be very appreciated.  :)

    It doesn't seem like anybody is going to respond to this thread, but I guess I will keep updating it just in case (and perhaps if I ever find a solution it will be helpful to others).
    Since my last post I have been to about 12 hotels in both Thailand and Cambodia.  This issue has continued with some variations:
    * At 3 of the hotels the wifi on my MacBook Pro actually worked!  It seemed to work ok, with minimal speed issues.
    * At 6 of the hotels the wifi did not work on my MacBook Pro, but worked fine on my iPhone.
    * At 3 of the hotels the wifi worked on my MacBook Pro but was PAINFULLY slow (to point where I couldn't upload photos, could barely check facebook, etc).  In fact, it was so slow that I basically gave up using the internet with my MacBook Pro and used my iPhone instead (which had normal speeds).
    I have continued to search the internet for solutions and nothing has helped yet.  It seems like this is a common issue with newer MacBook Pros, especially with OS Lion.
    I have also concluded that this isn't necessarily an Asia specific issue.  It seems like an issue with my MacBook Pro and using various WiFi routers with various setups.  Some work, but most do not.  Unfortunately I do not have access to any of the routers that I am using, so changing router setup is not an option.
