Headphone Jack doesn't work for all headphones

I don't have apple haeadphones anymore and I realized that not all headphones work on my ipod4. I have to turn my headphones to a certain angle to get them to work all the time. help?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem. However, from your description you have a bad headohone jack.
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Headphone/Microphone jack doesn't work at all

Hi,
I have a fairly new toshiba satellite C50-B
My part number is: PSCLGU-00G03Q
I tried headphones for the first time the other day and it appears my headphone jack doesn't work. My laptop speakers work just fine, as well as my laptop mic, however no headset I plug into my headphone/microphone jack works. Right next to it is a single USB port which doesn't work either, I am hoping to hit two birds with one stone... The USB just gives an error with anything I plug into it. My other two work fine.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you very much.

I'd recommend calling customer support as soon as possible.

"Move Current Track Automation Data to Region" doesn't work for all

I have been using the 'Move Current Track Automation Data to Region' and while it works fine for some types of automation data like channel volume, pan and some plugin parameters, it doesn't work for all of them.
I haven't done exhaustive research into which parameters work and which don't, but most of the parameters for individual voices within Ultrabeat don't - which is annoying as that is what I was trying to use it for.
Any ideas about this, or workarounds?

OK, well an update on this in case anyone's interested.
With some further experimentation I have discovered that this problem did not exist in Logic 7 - ie you can move current track automation data for individual Ultrabeat voices to the region.
It's also possible to move automation data for individual Ultrabeat voices using 'Move All Track Automation Data to Region,' so I suppose this is a kind of workaround, though it can be annoying if you don't want to move all track automation data.
I'm now assuming this is a bug in Logic 8; is there any way to convert a Logic 8 project to work in Logic 7, as this along with the touch tracks bug is making working in Logic 8 very frustrating?

Headphone jack doesn't work in Mac OS X 10.5.6

My headphone jack stopped working on my less-than-30-day-old MacBook Aluminum. Without headphones internal speakers functioned normally. When I plugged in headphones there was no sound. With headphones plugged in System Preferences > Sound indicated that a digital optical cable was plugged. I tested the headphones in another device and they worked. I tried another set of headphones and they don't work. I tested the system with Bootcamp/Vista Home Premium and the headphones worked, so the problem was not the hardware, it must be the OS. I took my Mac to the Apple Store and the Expert says he "cleared the Kernel cache", at which point the headphones jack started working again. I used headphones last night. Tonight, the headphones stopped working again, but, after about an hour, as I am typing this post, I see they have suddenly started functioning again. Now I have to correct all my grammar in this post to indicate past tense. What is wrong with Mac OS X, why do the headphones spontaneously stop functioning, what did the Apple Expert really do, and how do I "clear the Kernal cache" for myself?

Headphone Jack doesn't work and internal speakers are stuck in mute.

So I have an 18' macbook pro with a 2GHz Intel Core i7 and running version Mac OS X (10.7.5). I recently dropped my computer off my lap while my headphones were still in. The headphone jack smashed into the computers headphone output jack I took out the headphones and they still work but now no matter what pair of headphones I use I cannot hear anything when plugged in. As well when I take out the headphones the sound output does not switch back to internal speakers but says Digital Out. I know the speakers work because when I was messing the out jack because I read when a red light is on inside the jack (which it goes on and off) means it is stuck in mute. That however has not worked so far and neither has putting in and taking out the headphone jack.

Headphone jack doesn't work after replacing housing

Anyone else here have this problem? has anyone talked to RIM about this?

I recently had the same problem. My iPad, bought in November, worked until about a week ago. My wife took it in to Apple and it was replaced immediately. Unfortunately, my new iPad is having the same problem. I've "pounded" my headphones, car jack, home speakers and nothing works. They all work on the iPhone.
I think there's a serious problem with the headphone Jack and we're just now finding it. I see similar responses to the iPad 2. I'm taking mine back into Apple this weekend and proving my point.

Headphone Jack Doesn't work in XP Connected to 24" Cinema Display

I am trying to get audio out of my headphone jack when connected to my cinema display and booted into XP (OSX works fine). The audio always routes through the display speakers when booted into Windows XP, even when I plug headphones into my macbook pro's headphone jack. What settings or drivers do I need to enable my headphone jack to work in XP when I have my cinema display connected?

I have the same problem too, but using Windows 7 and Boot Camp V3.1. Headphones work fine if I don't plug in the USB from the Display to the computer.
Additionally, right after installing Windows 7, my Macbook Pro set the audio headset jack to 'optical audio' (with the glowing red LED), which I had to disable manually to get the headphones to work.
To Nick4597, for me, the headphone issue wasn't there in XP, just Win7. Maybe the latest Boot Camp drivers disabled the feature?

Exported UTI doesn't work for all account

Hello,
We have a QuickTime component that permits to play files with our video codec. These files also have a specific extension.
It works fine with QuickTime 7 that allows "anything" content type. But on Snow Leopard, with QuickTime 10, we can not open file with our private extension. When we open QuickTime, our files are in grey and we can not click on it.
What I've done is to export an UTI from my application info.plist file. This export says that my UTI with the right filename extension is conform to "public.movie". I have done it from the original admin account of the machine.
What is strange, is that this modification has an impact on the others accounts I have created (standard or admin) but not on this original admin account.
I mean, on the others accounts, the files with our extension are well seen as movie file and can be played with QuickTime Player. So the Uniform Type I export is well interpreted when I log with a different account.
I do not understand what is wrong with this original account. The behavior is also the same if I am loged as root.
I have made a repair disk permissions but it didn't change anything.
Right now I don't know what to do in order to have this export to work for this particular account...
Thanks in advance for your help,
Loïc

Use Quicktime 7 on the Snow Leopard Computers to playback this video. On the Snow Leopard computer quicktime 7 should be in the Utility folder. If not download Quicktime 7 for Snow Leopard:

If some reason you can't download Quicktime 7 here how you can install it from the Snow Leopard installation disc:

Scroll to the top of the page for instruction on how to install Qt 7.
Quicktime X can't playback all video formats/codecs. It's limited to a few so use Qt 7.

Flash Player doesn't work for all accounts

I am having a problem like others as described in this topic:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=44&catid=184&threadid =1262196&enterthread=y
Namely, Flash Player works fine for my main administrative
account, but does not work for my other accounts (I am running
Windows XP Home Edition). As suggested in the above topic, I have
tried uninstalling Flash (for all users) then re-installing it.
This did not help. The above topic also suggests that my registry
may be corrupted and referenced the following technical article for
a solution.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=fb1634cb
That article instructs you to use a Microsoft download called
SubInACL to repair the registry. However, the article specifically
states "Note: Do not run the Microsoft SubInACL tool on Windows XP
Home. This tool should only be used with Windows XP Pro". So it
will not help me since I'm running XP Home Edition.
Is there any solution to the corrupted registry problem if
you're running XP HomeEdition?

I had the same problem none of that works...
This is what I did:
Using the adm profile, go to the windows folder, find the
regedit icon, open it, then scroll all the way down until you find
the shockwave files. Right click on each and the click on
permissions, give each user persmission and do it for all the
shockwave flash floders you see, it should be about 9.
good luck.

Headphone jack doesn't work

Help me please. If I inserted the headphones in my Xperia z1, the sound comes out of only the right side.
It was working fine but I don't know what happened.
I checked my headphones in another device and it works fine. Also, I tried other headphones in my Xperia but i had the same issue

I would say that the problem has to do with your previous issue (water damage)

Headphone jack doesn't work in bootcamp windows 7

Headphone jack doesn't work with 4.3 update

Regular sound works, although it sounds very different than 4.2' but when I went to use headphones today, nothing. I tried flipping the new mute/rotation feature just in case and it didn't make any difference. I use my iPad at school and need headphones. Help? Thanks!

Try a System Reset:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162.

Finally, a less thorough version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark and a more thorough version of the Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks.

My macbook pro's headphone jack doesn't work anymore

Every time when I plug in my headphones they almost fall out, and I just don't know what to do.

System Preference > Trackpad > Point & Click > Secondary click
Make sure that "Secondary click" is enabled.
Click the black downward arrow to get the pop-up and pick your choice.
Best.
