Audio locks into "headset mode", even when the headset is not plugged in
Sometimes the phone seems to lock into a mode where it expects the headset to be connected and won't use the mic/speakers for calls or iPod play. Sometimes a reboot fixes it, sometimes several reboots are needed. Sometimes repeated plugging and unplugging of the headset jack works. There does not seem to be a definitive and repeatable "fix".
I don't recall this happening before the 3.0 upgrade, but perhaps not linked to version if it's actually a hardware problem. I tried cleaning out the audio jack port - no change. I'm pretty sure that it's software because hardware issues tend not to be intermittent.
I have had at least one instance where the switch from speaker/mic to headset happened during a call. I could suddenly hear nothing, but I could see that the call was still up with plenty of bars. I plugged the headset into the phone and had no problem with the call.
My next step is to go virgin with the phone and reload everything, but I prefer not to do that unless I really have to. Any ideas?
I have been dealing with this for months. I have been on every website trying different things. I did the alcohol thing, reboot, restart, blowing into the phone, sucking out of the headset area and I got nothing. So the last thing I came across was that it was getting to hot. So I did what they said and put in the refrig for about 5 minutes and believe it or not it worked. But after im on the phone and you can tell its getting warm it will switch back to headset. So I put it back in the frig and it went back to normal. I cant keep putting it in the frig so I dont know what to do. But its obviously getting too hot and that really shouldnt happen. So try it and put in the frig. Let me know if it knocks it out of the mode. But the what do you do? So I will keep searching about other ideas to keep the phone cool plus Im going to talk to an apple rep about this. I hope this helps you...please let me know..J in Chula Vista, CA

cheesecakeyumm,
have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller? (I don’t know if that would have any effect against mild shocks, though.) -
I am unable to tell when the battery is completely charged. I have showing the battery symbol with the bolt-this is present even when the device is not being charged. And it is always showing 2% charge.
Are you using the AC wall charger?
To check status, I use System Activity Monitor app http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/system-activity-monitor/id306192663?mt=8 and System Status Lite app http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/system-status-lite-device/id407752428?mt=8

I am trying to raise the volume on my phone, but it is saying that the headphones are attached when they are not attached. How do I fix this?
I tried everything there was. I tried to plug and unplug, I tried to clean it and dry it, and I really didn't want to put my phone in a bag of rice for 12 or 24 hours because I wasn't very patient. So what I did was; I put my phone on headphone mode and put it on airplane mode, then I left it there for 5 minutes and turned airplane mode off and it was working!!!! Hope this helped.

When my phone is not plugged into the charger or computer, it will not turn on at all; even though it is not dead. When it's plugged into the computer, it will go to a white screen with a grey apple icon and then it will turn off again and repeat. IOS7 and iPhone 5.

Try this step and if you cannot get your device into recovery mode there is a chance you have a hardware failure and you need to call apple to see what service options you have. -

hi
my son has disabled his ipod touch and has forgotton the pass code, i have followed all the websites and got it into dfu mode but when itunes is restoring it back to its factory settings it is telling me that there are about 35 hours to go and then an error message comes up saying a problem with uploading and that my network isnt working (which is wrong) and to try again......donr this about 10 times now and everytime get the same error message......any help would be much appreciated
cheers
PaulAsk him if he has 'jailbroken' the ipod touch. Some jailbreaking firmware resets it to Ipad firmware and so it is very difficult to restore as itunes simply doesnt recognise it for what it is. It's Apple's solution to try and stop mass jailbreaking.

When I put in a DVD, the mac locks up, an image from the DVD stays on the screen even when the dvd is removed. The only way to remove the image if to do a hard shutdown.
Is the hardware corrupt?Could you be a little more descriptive, does this happen with all DVDs? Please describe the type of DVDs you are attempting to use, commercial movies, blank DVDs, etc...
