Brand new earphones problem

Got a new pair of earphones in the mail along with the iphone 5s a few weeks ago... and I accidentally left them in a shirt pocket and did laundry
The right earphone no longer plays sound and the bass is completely gone. I have not tried the mic yet but I am certain there is damage on that as well. I do not have the receipt for my 5s purchase. Is there anything I can do? I love these earphones... they are the perfect snug fit and synergized so well with my 5s

try the headset in a computer or any other type of device that has a 3.5mm minijack connector
and or try another headset which has a 3.5mm minijack connector in the phone
3.5mm minijack connector has been a std for headset connectors since the 1980's so it's pretty common

  • Brand new Mac user with a brand new Mac problem!

    Hi Everyone --
    I am a brand new Mac user... I've only had my MacBook Pro 13" for three days. My Mac has been continuously freezing while I use it. When it freezes I only have safari running so I know its not from application "overload". Once frozen, I cannot move the mouse, "esc" or use any commands. Essentially my only option is to force it to shut down by holding the power buttong down. Please let me know if anyone has any idea how to fix this! With school coming up I cannot afford for my computer to be freezing every 20 minutes!
    Thanks in advance.

    Well... I'd still take it back - let them know that you received it as a gift three days ago. They may still replace it for you or they may take it in for repair. Just be nice and explain that you don't expect a new MBP to function as it is (or malfunction) and let them, at least, run diagnostics on it. As it's so new, there may be something simple that they can fix as you wait. Did your boyfriend already register the machine with Apple or did you? They may take the registration date into account...
    But I'd take it to the Apple Store, regardless...

  • Bunch of brand new mail problems

    Mail has worked great from day 1 (6/29) until two days ago. I have been getting a fairly constant progress indicator at the bottom of the screen "Sending x of 24" while the iPhone apparently is sending something. When it completes, it signals with the sent mail sound and then at some point may start "Sending x of 17" and the process starts again. I am also getting regular, but not constant, error messages about SMTP server failures with my .Mac account, Earthlink account, and corporate IMAP account. Yet, I had nothing in my Outbox and nothing new has shown up in any of the Sent Mail folders.
    I turned on Airplane Mode to stop the apparent SMTP connections, but the "Sending x of y" indicator continues at the bottom with the little activity indicator next to the airplane icon spinning happily away. When it is done sending, again the sent mail sound plays. Is it really still connected in airplane mode?
    I have power cycled the phone and while in airplane mode decided to try sending two emails through my Earthlink account. The first one was entered but never showed up in the Outbox and not in my account to which I sent it. Message two is still there and the Outbox reads as (-6) messages! Going to the Inbox now states 4294967290 Unsent Messages. Obviously an unsigned long is being used to keep track of the outbox message count.
    So, I just turned off airplane mode and received two copies of each of the test messages I sent. And the "Sending x of 16" is now active again with only 4294967288 Unsent Messages.
    The recent update was applied.

    It sure sounds like something funny is going on. I have come to believe that the mail account configuration is susceptible to some sort of corruption. There have been too many examples of "weird" behavior that is fixed when the accounts are deleted and recreated.
    I would recommend deleting your mail accounts and recreating them, and see if the problem persists.

  • Brand new fan problem on an old machine

    My iMac G5 is a year old and when I got it, many people were talking about how noisy the fan was. I've been lucky for a year that mine has been absolutely silent. The only time the fans ran was when booting off a CD-ROM or when it reached 90 degrees in my office.
    Now, for no apparent reason, the fan starts up after the computer has been on for a while. I am not using the CD drive at all, I'm not running any programs other than IM, mail, and browser (as usual), and it's not hot in here. If I shut down for a while and then start up again, it's quiet for an hour or so and then the fan starts.
    Is this normal wear and tear? Does something need to be replaced? Any info would be appreciated.

    Hello Magrite,
    I have just picked up my Imac (first generation) from the certified Apple repair center and was very disappointed when the fan noise I had brought her in for seemed worse. The replaced the CPU fans and nothing changed. The computer still has a loud buzzing sound that is very aggravating. I have had this problem since I received my IMac but finally got fedup. So it would appear that I have to send her back so that they can keep testing her out.
    If they find the cause I will relay the message.
    Best of luck

  • Brand new ipod problem, wondering if anyone else has this is

    i used to for the first time the other day and the screen completely broke, the ipod it self works but you can not see anything. This is especially weird because i never droped it once and it is in excellent condition. i am going to send it back but i heard that this had happened to other people before and i was wondering if it had happened to anyone else.

    None that I have seen posted in last 2 months. Use the search feature on this site and check for "Broken Screens".

  • My earphones don't work and they are brand new!

    My brand new earphone don't work. What should I do?

    First, make sure the plug is inserted all the way; it requires a lot of force to seat it. If you are sure it is seated take it to an Apple store for a warranty replacement.

  • Strange wifi problem on a brand-new MacBook Pro

    Hey there, I'm new here. Desperation has got the better of me, and I hope I can get some advice.
    So, last sunday I bought a brand new 13" MacBookPro with 2.8g i7 processor and 10.7.2 OS (I can't update to 10.7.4 because System Update tells me the download has been tampered with or corrupted after I waited 2 hours for it to finish, but I'm trying a direct download from the website). Here's the exact product: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-MD314LL-13-3-Inch-VERSION/dp/B005CWIZ4O/ref= sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1340301247&sr=8-5&keywords=macbook+pro+13
    Everything is all perfect except for a strange wifi problem. Note that the wifi does not turn-on or off, it doesn't disconnect after 'sleep', it doesn't get less speed, it doesn't constantly leave a preferred connection (once I chose my home wifi it always connects to it no problem). The wifi bar is always full. What is wrong is that the internet is kinda 'glitchy'. The best metaphor I can think of is that it's like a car that has to be pushed down the road before the engine can start. Please, bear with me because this is kinda hard to explain and I'm not good at tech lingos.
    One of the symptoms is browsing can get really slow and inconsistent, almost as if the wifi gets turned off in the middle of browsing. For example: if I look something up on Google and then open 5 new tabs, probably only 2 or 3 of those tabs will eventually load while the other two will not get past the long 'http:.......google.....etc etc' address and will eventually show one of those 'error loading page because there's no Internet connection' notice. This happens a lot. Sometimes I have to refresh/retry loading a page a couple of times before it finally loads, then usually everything will get back to normal and I will be able to open multiple tabs with no problem, but in a couple of minutes I would try to open another site and the problem will start again.
    So I tried to see how it does with downloading using iGetter. Fortunately I also have a Macbook (white-plastic casing one) and my brother has an old 2006 MacbookPro so I can compare. With those two older Apples iGetter starts receiving data in less than 8 seconds after I click Start, while my brand-new Macbook Pro can take up to 15-20 seconds, sometimes it doesn't even start at all and I have to re-click the start button. But once the download actually starts (on my new MacBook Pro), it downloads like normal, it doesn't stop and the speed is also as good as I can get. Strange huh? Hence, like a car that has to be pushed before the engine starts.
    I also tried 'speed testing' from a website with all 3 laptops. On my old MacBook and my brother's MacBook pro, once I click 'begin test' it takes only a couple of seconds of 'ping' before the download/upload speed measurements start, but with my new MacBook Pro (just like with iGetter) it takes up to almost a minute before the measurements start, sometimes it won't start at all and I have to re-start the test.
    Well, thanks for reading. And hope you can help me shed some light into this. Because it is really preventing me from really enjoying my new MacBook Pro. And if this is most likely a hardware problem, I'd better get back to the store and try to get it replace or something while it's only been 5 days. *cheers*

    Hey guys.. Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, I bought the MacBook in Indonesia where there are no such thing as an AppleCare. The only option is to leave the Apple product to one of the 'Authorized Apple care centre' and have whoever do whatever to it without guarantee of success. As for returning it and getting a brand new one, I also don't know if there is such a deal here, but that's actually a good idea, will try to go to the store tomorrow. Although, I'm worried that the problem might be with OSX Lion or something and getting a new one won't help.
    mark75090, I've tried resetting the router when I first noticed te problem, didn't work though. I've checked my new MacBook's wi-fi (option+click wifi bar) and it says 'PHY Mode: 802.11g', so does my MacBook and the old MacBook Pro. I don't know what those mean though, and I don't know whether or not my router is an N., can you tell me more please.. I have tried with the other two turned off, and only the new MacBook using the wi-fi but the problem persists. I have also tried connecting directly to the router, but as I described, the problem is too subtle for me to notice the difference.
    Also, if I create a brand new Wi-Fi connection in network preferences and connect to my router through the new Wi-Fi profile, the problem seems to be gone for an hour or so, then it always comes back though. I have also just finally installed 10.7.4, but it doesn't help either.

  • Thanks this was very useful.. I have a brand new iphone 4s unlocked version from singapore and I am having the same problem constant network fluctuations, no service, call failed, invalid sim, sim failure, bars fluctuating from 5 - 3 - 2 - 1, no signal/ba

    I have a brand new iphone 4s unlocked version from singapore and I am experiencing constant network fluctuations on my iphone , no service, call failed, invalid sim, sim failure, bars fluctuating from 5 - 3 - 2 - 1, no signal/bars searching etc... Ifeel miserable after trying out all the options changed multiple sims, tried multiple carriers, restored the phone back and have set-up as new device but the problem does not get solved... its is so frustrating that after investing on a world's most expensive phone you cannot enjoy the calling features which the phone offers which is the main thing you own the phone for.. Rest of the things are working.. The funniest part I am not able to make calls or receive calls but can access the internet..  I have tried every possible thing and really very frustrated with this iphone of mine...I hope the problem gets solved.. would anyone have any solutions to this problem.. Does it mean one should never update software as I hear that after updating to IOS.5.1 the problem has started coming and same has been with there.... Apple says its a hardware failure which is very difficult to digest as sometimes I get 5 bars and able to make and receive calls but 95% of the time I am unable to. If anyone has any solution I will be very happy if he or share can share the same. Many thanks. its so disgusting to experience this on top of this apple does not support global warranty for the phone as you need to go to the country from where you bought the phone for replacement.. Truly sad state of affairs.. very very very dissappointing.

    Have a look at this it might help

  • Problem with my brand new mp3 player Zen Stone Plus 2GB ( with built in speaker )

    Hi .
    I have purchased the following Zen Stone Plus 2GB with built in speaker on 24.06.2008.
    From day one, it had a charging problem . Initial charging it'snever go beyond 87%.
    After using it for 2 days, at the time of recharging , I found my player won`t get dectected in my PC .
    I took the set to the vendor for a checkup . He tried to solve it by resetting , formating etc. But he could only able to to format it's sacrificing its 50% of its allocated space.
    My vendor then changed the set with a brand new one, againts that faulty one .
    Now the new one worked well for 3 - 4 days , but it is now totally dead .
    But the set did not give any indication before it become completely dead.
    A few dust particles inside the LCD screen was also observed. I can`t understand how come dust particles can enter inside
    a player which is sealed box pack .
    Next issue is with the battery which CREATIVE promised of giving a backup of approx 20 hrs of continious playback , which with minimal scuffling and with minimal settings lasted for 0 hrs approx ( 50% less than promised ).
    Another thing that i must state is the problem of FM Reception . It is simply terrible . In the same area where my mobile's FM reception is fine , Zen Stone's FM failed to give any reception .
    I came to know about Zen Stone Plus from of my friend , who is using Zen Stone Plus GB without any problem for long time.
    Pls tell me what to do now, since my player is compleately out of order now , and pls suggest me something regarding the issue of battery backup , FM reception ... etc.
    Now i am in a total mess . I just dont know what to do with the set that is few days old .
    Pls help urgently .
    Waiting for any valued suggestion .
    Bye ...

  • Plethora of problems on brand new mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro

    This computer is about a month old and has been behaving very strangely since just a few days into its life.
    Symptoms:
    1. Computer would freeze or otherwise become unresponsive after being woken from sleep.
    2. Music would keep playing long after iTunes has been shut down. Repeatedly starting up iTunes again and shutting it down only produced an additional layer of sound. Only remedy was to reboot.
    3. Freeze (I gave up waiting after half an hour) on the boot HD choice screen for Bootcamp with Windows 7. It would keep displaying the 2 hard drives on a grey background, fans would spin up, northbridge felt incredibly hot. After about 5 attempts with booting directly into Windows 7 from Mac OS X from the System Preferences > Startup Disk pane, the choice screen started working properly.
    4. Safari 5 sometimes slows down and/or beachballs, plus often crashes while browsing casually. I have not been able to find the source of this problem. It's not Flash, not embedded Quicktime video, I don't know what it is.
    5. Computer would randomly adjust keyboard backlighting and screen brightness without any change in light conditions, in the middle of the night for example. Manually adjusting screen brightness right after waking the laptop from sleep recently froze it indefinitely.
    6. Mouse cursor sometimes lags for a second or so, only to recover in performance.
    *I tried to fix the problem:*
    1. Running all the latest software possible, on every front, down to plug-ins and 3rd party apps. Never attempted any system modifications, themes, or other mods.
    2. Checked HD with Disk Utility, repaired permissions. Same again, but with Drive Genius 3. No problems were detected.
    3. I have reset my PRAM and the SMC/PMU.
    Results:
    1. Fan now speeds up uncontrollably and randomly almost up to the maximum 6200 rpm. I have never, ever, witnessed such speeds before under any amount of load. This can occur while browsing the Finder, while watching HD video off Youtube with ClickToFlash, or while looking at simple text webpages. The fan would never spin up this much before, not even while attempting to watch 4K video in Flash which I suppose is quite taxing.
    2. None of the other problems have gone away.
    3. In Windows 7, I still got solid gaming performance, although I have obviously never let it fall asleep under Windows in sheer fear of what might occur. I have not tried running Windows after the PRAM and SMC/PMU reset yet.
    Questions:
    1. Is this normal to occur on a brand new laptop? If it isn't, what can I do to fix it?
    2. If there is nothing else I can do, how can/will Apple help me? I am tired of not being sure whether or not my computer will perform or not, and I need it for things like rushed coursework and presentations.
    Thank you all for your advice in advance. I am truly frustrated and will appreciate all the help I can get.

    Since waking it up 2 hours ago, I can no longer use the MacBook Pro in OS X. It unavoidably freezes right after connecting to the internet.

  • TS1702 My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though my ipad and old iphone do connect with no problem. What can I do?

    My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though it recognizes it. My ipad and my old iphone4s connect with no problem. Any thoughts?

    Although your other devices connect okay, it would be worth resetting your router by switching if off for disconnecting it from mains power for 2 minutes and then switch it on again.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Brand new ipod touch 5th gen 64gb problems with first power on

    I have just received a brand new ipod touch 5th gen 64 gb from amazon. After reading the instructions i tried to power it on but nothing happened.
    It was suggested on here to try the recovery start but again, nothing happened.
    I then plugged the device in to a wall socket charger to see if the battery is flat,but the apple logo comes on for about 15 seconds then goes off again. If I hold down the home button while the apple logo is off, after a while the ipod goes into recovery start up, but as soon as i unplug it from the wall socket adaptor it turns off.
    It will not do anything plugged into the usb soccket of my laptop.
    Any ideas or will I have to return this to amazon?
