My headphone jack is stuck in my ipod and broke off. What do I do to get it out?
My ipod touch 4th Gen was working fine until I dropped it and the headphones broke off completely at the tip, so the jack is completely stuck, and I cant get it out with tweezers or anything. I might take it to the Apple store, but would they be able to do anything.
FIXED... Installed my OCZ 60GB SSD into my master PC external bay. Went to disk management. Saw 3 partitions. 1.8GB (Recovery)/46GB/8.5GB (Recovery) DELETED the 8.5GB partition. (I know this was the new one created by pressing "0".) Right clicked on the 46GB partition and made it "active". Put the OCZ back into the netbook. It boot right back into Windows desktop successfully. SAVED.

A/c power plug broke off inside machine--how to repair
my daughter's ibook g4 power supply plug broke off, it is inside the socket in the machine--what is the practical way to get this fixed, please?
thanks--Hi there and welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your question is not unique, as unfortunately some users have experienced
some mishaps with their DC line-in plug (and socket) and so if you can
get the broken piece out of the computer's DC-in socket, that would be a
good thing. Sometimes a visit to a full service Apple Store (official) where
a Genius bar exists, and you've called ahead for a specified time, a skilled
person there may be able to figure out how to remove the broken end.
Of course, a replacement power supply is generally needed, to restore
the illuminated original plug with an identical part is almost impossible;
though I have read about people getting a generic plug and managing
to get the DC polarity correct (so as to not damage the computer.) But
the best fix would be to get a new replacement Apple power adapter.
Getting the broken "pin" section of the AC Adapter's DC plug out of
the computer is the larger concern; since the socket itself may be
damaged if this isn't done properly. Or it may have been damaged
by the action that caused the plug to be broken in the first place.
There are several posts in these Discussion forums, the iBook G4
and G3 (white) and PowerBook G4 models use a similar power setup;
so finding replies already posted is not hard.
In fact, I replied to one such post and so searched back and found
the URL to a question and replies. Note mine is near the end of this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3126597
And the quoted text in that post is from one of the links in the post.
(It is not mine; to clarify what appears to be an edited four letter word.)
The blue letters in the post are links to outside web sites; I am not
sure of the total validity of their content and they only serve to show
someone has tried some ideas and they may have had adequate
results from them; and that's about as far as I'd go. They're worth a look.
[Another set of posts (by user name) regarding this question
and out-of-warranty repair options, etc with the DC-in board
and power plug damage, among others, would be those by
an experienced iBook user in these boards, Rhonda.]
Best of luck to you and happy computing! -

TS3274 how to fix headphone pin broke off in ipad
how to fix headphone pin broke off in ipad?
I just got it out! First, I unplugged everything and put the desktop on a table. Then, I took 2 thin bobby pins and took the painted round tips off with a pair of pliers. I did this because my tweezers couldn't fit in there. I gently worked a pin on the top and one on the bottom of the piece that was stuck. Then I wiggled it forward, and put the pieces back into place when they slipped out. Finally, it wiggled out!! This all took about 10 minutes.

My charger broke off in my iPad mini how do i get it out
my charger broke off in my ipad mini.. how do i get it out or where can i bring it to fix it
The tweezers are a good idea. just don't go digging to the point that you may scratch the case. Because, unfortunately, if you do and if you have any issues with the port in the future, those scratches may be enough to void any warranty coverage.
A delicate touch is what's needed. -
I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!
Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary. -

Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself. However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?
that is odd! that should not be happening.
Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes. -
Downloaded an audiobook to my ipad but I have just realised it's only downloaded Part 1 of 2??!!!?
How can I get Part2?
Who do I contact re downloading problems? I see no email address for a support team etc.
Thx in advanceI feel your pain. I awoke this morning to check my text messages on my iPhone (I'm away working in Norway) only to notice a text my girlfriend sent over the night. The title bar over the message listed her Italian mobile number instead of her name. I thought that odd, only to realize that virtually all of my contacts have disappeared from the iCloud. Even more strange, there appears to be no order, rhyme nor reason, or any form of sense as to what has been deleted. If this (and a few other issues I have with post-Jobs Apple) is indicative of Apple's trajectory, they're not going to be around long. I'm beyond ******-off over this and I'll be thinking very hard about buying Apple products in the future.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.
Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

In mail, my attachments, both photos and documents, appear in the body of the message. How can I get my attachments to appear as a separate attachment and not as part of the main message???? Thanks for your help, Karen.

Yep! And if you absolutely need (or think you need) that functionality, it is worth every penny.
As Don already pointed out, exactly what the recipient sees will depend on how they've set up their machine and what unnecessary 3rd party apps they might've installed to display attachments the way they want.
In theory, that is true. In practice, Attachment Tamer will cause more of your messages to show up as plain-jane icons on the other end. The problem is, after all, people running Outlook 2003 and 2007. These people likely aren't doing many system modifications.
If I were you, I'd use the free solutions provided above, save my money and let my recipients decide how they will handle their mail.
I completely agree. -
How do I get rid of the iCloud Backup alert message? I cannot do anything with my iPad and cannot get rid of the alert. I have plugged in the iPad with Wifi on, but it won't reset. Thanks
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
