Audio out (headphone) jack will not hold a miniplug for long

This happens just about every day:
I crank up iTunes and start to play a music list. Generally about half way through the external speakers cut out and the sound changes over to the built-in speakers. So, I have to reach around and jam the plug from the speakers back in. It will not go all the way so in a short time works its way out again.
I have tried several plugs just to be sure it isn’t just the one I am using. They all refuse to go all the way in.
Is anybody else having this problem? Is there any cure?

Bad plug! Got a different patch cord and things are fine.

The audio out (headphone jack) stereo just stopped working.

The audio out (headphone jack) stereo just stopped working. On all my head phones (which work fine on other devices), macbbok pro sound is only coming through the left speaker. Anything I can do about this, aside just bringing it in to the shop? btw: audio output is set to middle.

Before taking to the shop, try Reset PRAM.
Some sound settings are stored in PRAM.

Hello i own a 4th generation ipod touch and the headphone jack will not send any sound to my earbuds but, the speaker system works fine will the apple techs fix this if i bought this from best buy or should i go to best buy to recieve a new one?

I bought this at best buy so should i go to the apple store to see if some techs should fix this or try to get a new one from best buy i bought this around the begining of april and please NO FIX IT YOURSELVES!! i am a clumsy 14 year old also, would having the headset plugged in and wrapping the wire around the ipod be bad for it because i think this could have been the cause thank you and any help would be greatly apreciated

It was not in a pouch i just simply wrap it around the ipod, thankfully my mom and i will be going to apple tommorow. I'm seriously never going to go to best buy ever again, i don't trust them because ive bought a faulty ipod nano from them so i'm going to try to avoid this store thanks lllaaass

Battery will not hold charge?

MY phone will not hold a charge for more than a couple of hours.

Try using it less.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

One of the jacks is for audio in and the other is for audio out. Some select versions have an S/PD/F jack. Chances are the reason you are getting static is that if you plug an earphone into a microphone jack it will attempt to behave as a microphone. It will not operate properly.
So..a recap. There is only one earphone jack

You likely have a problem with the headphone jack. You jhave to ways to listen to music via headphones:
- Get the jack fixed. Here is one place:
DigiExpress.us - The iPad Repair Professionals
However first I wold rule out a software problem by try the following:
Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults.
The other way is to use bluetooth headhone if you have a 2G or later iPod.

I have had my iPhone 4 for about 1 1/2 years, with no problems. A couple days ago the battery drained in about an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it was not charging. After a few hours a message popped up on the screen about the temperature being too hot...the phone was very hot when I picked it up. The battery will not hold a charge and it heats up every time I plug it in. Suggestions???

Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement is $149. It sounds like it may have gotten wet.
