1st Gen shuffle...can't hear anything...could the ear jack go bad??

On my husbands shuffle you can't hear anything..can the ear jack go bad? you can charge it, see the playlist on computer etc, but can't hear a thing.
Any help appreciated.

Have you tested the earphones on some other device/ Have you tried other earphones on the shuffle?
Yes, the earphone jack CAN go bad...

    You just wrote you could hear the recording...
    You can take it into an Apple store and have it checked out.

  • No sound for incoming calls but it works using speaker and earpiece. I can't hear anything but the other party can hear me clearly. I was told it's hardware problem. Would anyone please help? Thanks

    This is an annoying problem for many people. Most likely your dock connector (on the bottom where you plug in your phone) is dirty or screwed up and is probably just coincidence that it happened after you updated. Some people have had success cleaning the port with a dry clean tooth brush. There is a long discussion going on at the thread I linked below. Good luck...

  • I'm unable to hear anything through the ear piece of my 3Gs, any advice? I've tried the normal unplugging of a set of ear phones several times. This hasn't resolved the problem

  • 1st gen shuffle can't dock with itunes in windows 7

    My 1st gen iPod shuffle still works like a champ, USB docks fine and charges, but iTunes won't recognize it, so I can't change any of the music. I've tried the "reset iPod shuffle" directions here on this site, but it is in-effective. I've tried this on my home PC, notebook, and work PC. All are running Windows 7. The reset utility appears to be for earlier Windows versions only? I have seen some similar posts on this board but no resolution. What can I do?

    (On Windows) I recently encountered the same problem.  When opening iTunes, the Shuffle (1st gen) would continuously mount and dismount.  What ultimately worked for me is to run the Windows error-checking utility on Shuffle with the "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" option selected.  I was then able to open iTunes and restore the iPod.  Note: It appears that if something goes wrong before you can restore, you will need to run the error-checking utility again before making another attempt.  Full instructions below:
    Connect iPod to computer
    Click the Start button and select "Computer"
    Right-click on your iPod
    Select "Properties"
    Navigate to the "Tools" tab,
    Under "Error-checking" click the "Check now..." button.
    A pop-up window will appear.  Click the check box for "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" (The check box for "Automatically fix file system errors" should already be selected).
    Click the "Start" button to run the utility.
    When finished, re-launch iTunes.  Select your iPod and then run the "Restore iPod" utility.
    If something goes wrong (iPod dismounts, can't run restore, etc.) repeat steps 2-9 to try again.

  • I Can't montitor my voice when i record nor can i hear anything from the speakers when i press playback. Someone help me!

    I tried everything. I checked my input and output systems. My microphone works as well as my speakers. However, as soon as I try to record or playback a recording no sound is heard through the speakers! What gives?! What's the point of have tech if you can't use it!!!!!

    You need to set up your audio hardware preferences.
    Go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware and make sure that your "Default Input Device" is set to be your microphone and the "Default Output Device" is set to be the sound card/speakers on your computer.
    However, this is where the limitation of using USB mics and onboard sound cards shows up--using a "proper" sound card and XLR microphone would allow you to set up a headphone or speaker mix in the interface itself.  Using a USB mic and built in sound card means your audio will have to do a round trip through your computer for you to monitor on your speakers or headphones--this will introduce some latency/delay.  To set up this sort of round trip monitoring, do your recording in the Audition Multitrack view and click on the the little "I" button (next to the "R" record arm button) on the track header.  This lets you monitor the input to that track and feed it back to your speakers or headphones.

  • I can't hear anything during a phone call

    This just randomly started up this morning, and the nearest Apple store is 2 hours away, so I'm turning here. I have an iPhone 4 (not the S) and the newest IOS. When someone calls me, my phone rings like normal, but when I answer, I can't hear them at all. I can make phone calls, but when I do, I can't hear the phone ringing before the person answers, and I still can't hear anything on the other line. I only know that the call went through because the screen says a call is in progress, and the people I've tested it on can hear me just fine.
    I've tried resetting my phone to factory settings, and I've turned it off and on multiple times. I don't know what else I can do. My phone is in good shape: a hairline crack in the screen, but it's just cosmetic. Nothing else is wrong. I hear all the alerts and everything else I'm supposed to hear, and I was able to have normal conversations as of last night. I dropped my phone early this morning from about 3 feet off the ground, but it's in an Otterbox and well protected. I am somewhat panicking that I can't talk to people, and I'm not eligible for an upgrade until July. Also, I did not purchase the extended Applecare plan.
    If someone could please help, I would really appreciate it. I'm planning on taking it to Best Buy once they open. I don't know if they can do anything, but I'm stuck.

    One more thing:
    I suspect that this problem is not related to the “headphones mode problem” because I have no problems with the laudspeaker.
    Maybe an HW issue?

  • On my iPhone 4 I can play music through the speaker or headphones, but I can not get audio in phone mode, I can't hear anything nor can anyone hear me! Help. Please.

    On my iPhone 4 I can play music through the speaker or headphones, but I can not get audio in phone mode! I can hear anything through the ear piece or via a headphone. Nor can people hear me when I call. I must be doing something wrong, but what?

    Hello Angela,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with sound on your iPhone.  I recommend the following steps for an issue like this:
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, followthese troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

  • Can't Update 1st-gen Shuffle

    I have iTunes 7.0.2 and Mac OS X 10.4.8. My (1st-gen) shuffle is recognized and syncs older or non-DRM songs just fine, but won't sync some newer songs purchased through the iTunes Music Store. I get a message telling my to perform an update from the Summary tab.
    Unfortunately, the Update and Restore buttons on the summary tab are disabled, so I can't use them. Nor can I use the iPod Updater 2.0.1 -- it never recognizes the iPod. The iPod Updater 2006-06-28 *does* recognize the iPod, but fails to recognize a software version. Likewise, the summary tab in iTunes says "n/a" for both Software Version and Serial Number. (I've tried "updating" using the 06-28 version; it tries, but gives me an error.)
    How can I update this thing? I'd like to have my newer music on my iPod.

    I downloaded and tried the Shuffle Reset Utility, but it couldn't restore the shuffle. I received an error message saying "No Firmware."
    However, I went to my wife's Windows computer, downloaded the Shuffle reset utility, and it worked fine, there. In fact, the Shuffle worked flawlessly with Windows (I was able to sync it with my wife's iTunes library, etc).
    I thought -- great, back in business! However, when I returned to the Mac and tried to sync with my own music library, I have the same problems; the Shuffle's version, serial number, et cetera isn't recognized, I can't sync newer songs, et cetera.
    Obviously, the Shuffle isn't the problem. Also, the Shuffle worked fine with my Mac before the latest iTunes update; I'm beginning to think it's a Mac software issue with the update. The other possibility is a connection issue, but I've tried all the direct USB ports on the computer, and also a powered hub (also, the fact that the Shuffle worked fine, before, makes me think that the connection probably isn't the issue).
    Dunno.

  • 1st Gen Shuffle not recognized by Windows XP Pro

    I cannot get my 1st gen shuffle to be seen by Windows XP Pro. We have all the updates, the latest version of iTunes. The Shuffle plays, it connects to another computer running Windows XP. I see several messages here that point to different articles. The only thing we haven't done is edit the registry.

    Have you tried going through the steps here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
    If that doesn't work, sometimes other USB devices plugged in can cause this. You may want to try removing any other USB devices plugged into the CPU (other than the keyboard and mouse).
    Also, what version of iTunes are you running? Check that by going along the top of iTunes and choosing Help>About iTunes.

  • Two 1st gen shuffles; one comp

    ok here's my problem; i have a first gen ipod shuffle.(the long skinny white one) it works fine had it for 2 months. i bought my son the same 1st gen shuffle for xmas. I went to install the cd; it removed the 1st installation from when i installed my shuffle. so i reinstalled. it won't recognize the second shuffle (my son's) AT ALL. i restored it using the restore utility download; no help. the new shuffle is still plugged in orange light. doesnt show up in itunes or on my computer.
    also when i registered the new shuffle the serial code wasnt accepted, so i had to use the MP code on the box, then it shows me the serial number, which is the exact number i entered.
    my question is: can you run two shuffles on one computer, on one itunes, and just have the program recognize the two different shuffles? how? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

    For running Multiple iPods please look to this article.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432
    As For trying to install the CD to the Shuffle, Make sure that you are running the latest version of Itunes.
    1. Click Help in iTunes
    2. Click About Itunes
    The Version number will be the first thing you see scrolling up the page. if you are not Running 7.0.2 then Download latest software and try to sync ipod once again.
