3.5mm Jack Port

Do I need to cover the 3.5mm Jack Port whenever I'm underwater. If yes, where can I buy the cover? If no, is it safe? Thanks.

Hi tk9 and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Please check carefully in the headphone jack for any object that may be interfering with the contacts and this seems to be the most common cause of this problem.

  • How do I use my ipod in the car without it constantly charging?  I have to use a docking cable into the USB port because the 3.5 mm to 3.5mm jack I bought doesn't work on the ipod.

    How do I use my ipod in the car without it constantly charging?  I have to use a docking cable into the USB port because the 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack I bought doesn't work with the ipod (although it does work with an MP3 player).  My ipod is a 5th generation 80GB classic.

    I know this is old - but did you ever get this working. Thinking of getting a 780 ti card and I have an older mac with the mini-displayport too.

  • How to connect apple tv to normal speakers with 3.5mm jack?

    I have recently brought apple tv, it works great with my tv. But I have optoma HD200x projector which, I think, don't have audio out. I understand that I need optical audio cable to connect it to speakers but I have JBL radial speakers with 3.5mm jack. Which cable is required as no optical audio port on jbl dock.
    Thanks

    You need to connect optical to a DAC that can output analogue stereo (serach for monoprice here) or have an amp/speaker that acepts optical.
    Assuming you'll hook up HDMI to the Optoma it's worth considering whether or not thsi convertes HDMI audio and has an analogue 3.5mm or RCA jack out (or headphones socket) - that might work but would entail an extra lead from the projector.

  • Does anyone have any info re 3.5mm jack microphones on the Mac Pro?

    Please, don't refer me to the manufacturer...am working on that, in the meantime i'm looking for anyone that might have OTHER information or suggestions regarding this issue...
    Bought a GE PC Microphone, a very simple on with a 3.5MM jack. The package specifically says "Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems"
    I plug it into the Audio Line In on the back of my Pro (just purchased barely a few weeks ago) and the nothing happens...no sound is registered or recorded.
    I've gone to preferences pane and selected "Line In" as opposed to "Digital Line In", and nothing....
    Is there some silly thing I'm over looking. When I read the Mac Pro User Manual regarding that particular port it refers to use of:
    " Analog audio line-in port
    Connect self-powered microphones, MP3 and CD players, and other devices with analog
    capability"
    The mic is simple, has no power source, only the 3.5MM jack...should it not work?
    Any help (other than the already perfectly obvious contact the mfr of the mic, or plain old return/exchange the mic" will be greatly appreciated. If that's what i have to do ,it's what i'd have to do, but i'd like some validation that there is NOT anything I am missing before doing so.
    Thanks!

    Hi JamilMereck,
    first of: you can edit previous posts in a time-frame of some minutes (haven't measured it ...).
    After that they become non-editable.
    I admit I have used microphones some years back with and without PCs (have switched to Macs 2.5 years ago).
    But I always had the mics connected to a mixing desk, which provided Phantom Power.
    Since I gave up my 'Singing Career' (wasn't good enough) I also abandoned the use of microphones.
    To your questions:
    It might be that PCs with specified Microphone-In ports are also providing power to them or the microphones themselves do not need any power.
    And the 'compatible with...' refers to the usage on computers in general.
    The iMic from Griffin works with OSX 10.5 (scroll down on the webpage to 'Product Compatibility' the left icon symbolizes OSX 10.5).
    As said above, I am no longer up-to-date in usage of microphones, but when you want to use a microphone with the standard connector you have to get either a microphone preamp or a mixer.
    If you use the mic only (really only) with your Mac Pro, you might wanna look for USB-connected mics from Samson or Audio Technica for example.
    And don't get upset, I understand you fully and any kind of 'insult' is for the manufacturers and not for me

  • Unreliable sound - speaker symbol greyed out and red light in 3.5mm jack

    Had my MacBook for 3 years with no problems. But over the past few months, the sound has been very unreliable. It always works when external speakers are plugged in, but when using the internal speakers it's very temperamental. It will just suddenly grey out the speaker symbol on the menu bar at the top, and a red light is visible in the 3.5mm jack socket.
    Any ideas???

    Your Mac believes that a digital audio cable is plugged in. You can use a toothpick or unbent paper clip to toggle the DA switch off. It's located along the side of the port, not at the back whence the light emanates.

  • 3.5mm Jack broke inside my Ipod

    My brother dropped my ipod and the 3.5mm jack broke inside of it. is there a way to get the rest of the jack out of the ipod?

    For how to replace it see:

  • A 2 or 3 ring, four conductor 3.5mm jack needed?

    To extend the rear ports on the Z model, do I need to use a full conductor 3.5mm jack extension cord? Or a regular 2 ring, 3 conductor extension?
    Thanks. I presume a 2 ring would work fine.

    You are right, a 2 ring will work fine.

  • IPod freezes when played thru 3.5mm jack

    When my iPod played on any device through the 3.5mm jack, from portable units to my car system, the iPod plays 1 to 3 songs, then freezes, even when fully charged. It then has to be unplugged, let sit for a while, and then the cycle can start over again. I have not tried it with a unit that works through the power plug (in the bottom) at this point.
    The unit is a 30g, series 3 or 4 (not sure), and only has about 12g on it.

    Good question but I have to say that I don't know: Never used them. I hate the earbuds so I use headphones from a RIO unit. They worked OK about 4 months ago but I haven't tried them since the problems started. I will do that as soon as the pod gets fully charged.
    I also noticed that the battery doesn't seem to be holding a charge as long as it used to. It discharges to almost 50% within minutes of being turned on. I wonder if this has anything to do with the overall problem.

  • I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm mic and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lecture to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lectures to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
    traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
    Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
    external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
    Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
    ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
    wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
    Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
    be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
    most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
    is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
    Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
    electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
    Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
    remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
    Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
    & mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
    Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
    at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
    PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
    or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

    Sorry about the necro, but did you ever figure this out?  I'm running into the same issue.  I think *something* is being written because when I do "efibootmgr -c blahblah", and then I do an efibootmgr -v afterward, I can see the device path that shows up in the verbose options.  Then, when I reboot, I don't see the new boot option in the menu, and when I check again via a livecd (which boots via UEFI, by the way), efibootmgr -v shows "Vendor(99e275e7-75a0-4b37-a2e6-c5385e6c00cb,)" in the extra info next to the boot option I had previously created.  That vendor and GUID seem to show up when there's no path, as I've googled it and have seen similar readouts that imply such based on the context of where I saw them.
    Anyway, help.
    Thanks.

  • Can the headphone Jack/Port be Repaired?! Audio Pumping out one 1 Side Only-Mahalo!

    Can the Headphone Jack/Port Be Repaired?! Audio only Pumping out On 1 Side!= Mahalo

    Can you get into an Apple Store to have someone take a look at it? If there is something wedged into the headphone jack, I don't know if there is much you can do about it.

  • I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit)...my headphones are not working. I can't find the 3.5mm jack that apple suggests using. I have tried installing/unistalling several different audio drivers. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit). My headphones are not working on it. I could not find the "3.5mm jack" that apple suggests to "solve" this issue. And I have tried installing/uninstalling audio drivers. Can anyone help?

    you don't need several drivers, you just need the audio driver for your Mac, which you didn't list, but would be Cirrus or RealTek.
    Along with uninstalling programs, go to Dev Manager and uninstall driver, or even rollback driver.
    some people have trouble installing or finding driver that will install.

  • Wired Headset for Lumia 900 with 3.5mm Jack

    Hi
    Would there be any recommendations for a Wired Headset with a 3.5Mm jack for headphones for a Nokia Lumia 900. I have tried the Nokia AD-54, you can hear the sound but sound quality is poor. I attached Bluetooth headsets BH-610 and BH-214, both reproduce excellent sound quality. But am looking for a wired option.  The Monster options from purity range dont have 3.5mm Jack

    Mobiles sure aint what they used to be. They get better

    Does this help?

  • 3.5mm jack has become extremely loose. (iTouch 1st Gen.)

    My 6 month-old iTouch has recently lost its left side audio output due to a faulty 3.5mm jack. I've kept very good care of it since I bought it and have made sure that said jack has not been exposed to any form of intense stress. I've talked with several others who have had their iTouch for much longer, yet they have not had this kind of trouble. With all this having been said... Should I be able to send it in for a replacement or a simple repair (under warranty)?

    It's warranted for one year after purchase.
