Are there problems with the iPod suffle blowing headphones?

I recently purchased an iPod shuffle. After about 2 weeks the headphones went out on me. Thinking I just got a defective pair, I purchased a new set. Not two weeks after purchasing those, this set went out as well.
I don't blast my music, and both times it was the right ear bud that went out.
Thus, does anyone know if there is something defective with the iPod shuffles that cause the right ear buds to blow?
I have tried plugging the headphones into my laptop and yes, it is blown. I was thinking that after the second set of headphones went out, that maybe it was the shuffle itself, but it's not.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks!

I don't understand why you bought a replacement pair when you could have had Apple replace them under warranty.

Are these Apple earphones, or some other brand?

Are there problems with the 5g nano and previous games?

I just got the 5g nano to replace my video and i bought two 99 cent games because well, they were only .99. Chinese Checkers and Reversi. When i play the game, the screen keeps shifting. Before you say you are rotating it and the accelerometer is detecting it, this happens when it is laying flat on the table without me touching it. I'll make my move, and then the other people will go, and then it will point to my item that i want to move, only its not in the position its pointing at. If the board were flipped it would be correct. Kinda hard to explain, but if it happens to you, you will understand.

What are the system requirements of the games you purchased? Game compatible with 5th gen nano?
Apple is not going to respond here because this is a user to user message board. If you found no help on Apple's message board, iPod PDF user manual or Apple's Knowledge Base, every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. Take advantage of it. If you have AppleCare, call them.

Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g!

Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g! I just want to know.

Once I find the game i will truly screenshot that it states "not compatible for these models". I just find it RIDICULOUS that my iPod touch is in good condition and some of the applications that I want download sometimes are not compatible with my iPod touch 4g. I am not going to buy an ipod 5th generation if my 4g is still going strong since the year of 2010.

Is there problems with the network/signal in TA3 Taunton area

Is there problems with the network/signal in the TA3 Taunton area I have not had a signal all day and then to make contact with one of my children regarding school pick up.

Unfortunately so. Spoke to EE today and the service may take up to 72 hours to get back to normal - which is unbelievable given how much we use our phones for day to day life! As they cannot do anything for us, to thank us for our patience they are asking us to monitor when the service resumes and get back to them (no doubt on their £ per min line) and let them know and they’ll credit us for the down time. Just Brilliant!!

I have bought a docking station and my iphone works fine but my ipod mini seems to fit on the connection but only works intermittently. Is it a different connection or is there a problem with the ipod?

I have bought a docking station and my iphone works fine but my ipod mini seems to fit on the connection but only works intermittently. Is it a different connection or is there a problem with the ipod?

I think that is happening is that the microphone is on during this recording. If you play the music through the iPhone speakers, it will record this sound, albeit at very poor quality. If you say anything (or laugh uproariously as I did while watching the app in action, then that, too, get recorded.
I am still looking for the solution we all want, which is to save the audio in reasonable quality.
Anyone out there with some ideas?
Cheers,

Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

Hello,
I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
Hope this helps.

Washed clothes with the ipod suffle 3rd gen in the pocket.

Washed clothes with the ipod suffle 3rd gen in the pocket.
Now when turn it ON, it showed green light for two-three seconds after charging it in computer for 20 minutes and then nothing. It does not play anything, nothing hears after pressing any button. Its been like this for last 5-6 days. However, it recognizes in the itunes and shows the songs. I tried syncing it in a different computer, it was recognized there also. Still it is not working.
What to do?
plz help

1. If the device was wet you should not have turned it on or connected it to the computer, as you may have caused more damage.
2. Let the iPod dry out fully. To help it do this, store it in a sealed container with some dry rice. The rice will absorb the water from the iPod, leave it at least 3-4 days before you try it again.

My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones. Is there a problem with the ipod?

My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones. I've tried other headphones. Is there a problem with her ipod?

First make sure the headphones are plugged in all the way in (it takes a bit of force to get the solid click sound) and sound balance is set in the middle. Second, test the headphones on another device to see if they operate correctly and test the iPod with the original Apple earphones that came with the iPod to see if it works correctly. Lastly, if you are using third-party headphones, make sure that their plug is iPod compatible.

Still problems with the Ipod Nano 3g and the Nike+ kit??

I thinking about buying an Ipod Nano and the Nike+ kit tomorrow but now I'm a bit unsure due to some of the problems mentioned here in this forum? Do you still have problems with the commuication between the Nano and the sensor? Are there still problems wtih the distance being wrong or only in km? Should I buy - if possible - a Ipod Nano 2G?
Regards
Morten

Personally I am very happy with my new iPod Nano. It works great with Nike Plus and I love the video and some of the cool features like stopwatch and more. I have an earlier iPod Nano and I was hesitant to buy the new one but I am so glad I did. I don't have any problems uploading data.

Problems with the iPod Touch (sound)

Hey,
I was wondering (more like desperately hoping) someone can help me with my problem.
I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years now but lately I've been getting problems with the sound.
When I bought the iPod, I bought some decent sennheiser plug-in earbuds too, because I find the one's delivered with the ipod pretty low quality.
For over a year, I loved my ipod touch (it's my second one) but one day, for some unknown reason, my sound was at not even half of the usual volume.
I've checked the settings but cannot find the problem, so I tested the ipod ears delivered with the ipod since they were new, same story (the left earbud was slightly louder than the right for some time but not too long, then they both gone quiet).
I've checked on the internet before and someone said "try jailbraking your ipod, because that sometimes helps, so I did but no effect.
So I set it back to fabric settings and went to a switch store, they listened and found it odd too so they send it in because it was still under guarantee.
Now (today), I've gotten a completely new ipod touch 16 Gb. So, happy as I was, I went home to put my music on it, and what happens? The sound is slightly louder than the previous one but still WAY too quiet! If I'm on the bus, its no use listening to it because I cant understand the lyrics cause of the background noizes the bus makes... Its p*¨ssing me off bigtime that its still way too quiet, anyone got any ideas how to fix it?
Please don't send useless reply's like get ya ears checked because Im in the army and they get checked regularly and they are perfectly fine!
Maybe with someone knows some other program or app that I can use so I can fix this very irritating problem?
I have had 6 iPods before, from the first one that came out to the ipod touch 16 Gb, and its only with this one that Ive started having problems about a year ago.
Plus my girlfriend has an ipod too (not a touch) and on her ipod, everything works fine, my earbuds included :s
Please help!
Thanks in advance!
Toby

Omg, I've put over 2 hours of work in it to reinstall other versions of itunes, ios n such to then find out that they DID NOT test my ipod and sennheiser earbuds that I gave in along with my busted itouch.... They told me they work fine... Now I took my girlfriends earbuds cause nothing worked, turned out they are both broken and now I need to go back to the store for new ones, dont think that the previous itouch wasnt busted then after all cause it was, tried with 10 different sets of earbuds
anyway Im a happy man again with a decent itouch and good earbuds, that I can lend from me girlfriend...
Thanks for the help anyway

Problems with the ipod

I have already researched this problem to the max, so any other suggestions are welcome, but I have already read all the discussions on it as well as the Apple Documentation. I am coming here on the off chance someone knows soemthing and so I can document for the benefit of other ipod users.
I get "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when trying to synch ipod. The error message does vary a bit.
I have seen other users referred to this artile.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301267
This documentation is pretty useless as it says that everything can be wrong.
So far I have restored my ipod many times, formatted it for windows, checked it for errors in windows, updated my ipod software, updated itunes, tried various methods described all to no avail. It is not a problem with a specific file because I have tried transferring only 100 out of the 2500 files in my collection to no avail.
I will try updating my ipod from a different computer with a different library of music later tonight. So far I have not had access to a computer with a firewire drive so that I can make sure it's not a problem with the USB cord or interface.
Suggestions are welcome! If updating it with another comp does not work I guess I'll try to use the ipods warranty. If that doesn't work I'll try to replace the harddrive myself.

TS1717 are there problems with iTunes upgrading from Vista to Windows 7?

are ther problems upgrading iTunes from Vista to Windows 7?

The best method is to use Windows Easy Transfer first to backup all your data, and do custom clean install. And install all your apps and drivers afterwards.
Yes it should work. Make sure you are ready, and have all the latest drivers and applications ahead of time.
There are some "gottchas" with the upgrade from Vista.

Problem with the Ipod Touch Music Player

Hi, I recently got an iPod touch 3g (8 gig) around christmas, and its been a truly great buy and worked flawlessly. However just recently I started having issues with the iPod's music player.
Ever since last night, I noticed that when I use the music player, and try to move 'FORWARD' a song (IE the double forward arrow button) the arrow would stay white like I was pressing it, NOT move forward a song, the screen would be unresponsive as the current song played, and then after 2-3 seconds the music player would crash and go back to the home screen.
I know it was a crash because when I went back to the music player, it was reset back to the 'Shuffle' option with the list of songs below it (usually, it leaves off on the last song you were listening to.)
I also noticed, that even if I just listened to a song completely without hitting forward, it would STILL freeze up and crash to home screen once the song was finished, even if I DIDN'T press anything.
But apparently the double back arrow (rewind/back) works without crashing it.
So my question is: what can I do to fix this? I already tried restarting my iPod (by holding the top and home buttons for 10 seconds) and it did not solve this. I always keep my iPod charged up, and I can't think of ANYTHING I did yesterday or recently at all to cause this problem....I generally only use the iPod touch for music or internet browsing.
any help appreciated..
-Ben

I have a common problem with the iPod Touch.....has anyone figured it out??

Frequently when listening to music, browsing safari, or playing videos, my ipod touch will stop abruptly and return to the home screen without reason. Shutting down the iPod is a quick fix, but within a half hour the same problem arises again. Has anyone found a permanent solution to this problem? If not, does anyone know if there is a scheduled ipod software update to fix the problem? Thanks a lot!!

If you are listening-browsing-watching the same time it looks like there is not enough memory for the iPod and it closes applications being run
