Cannot hear music without speakers or earphones.

I received a replacement Ipod Touch 2nd generation, and i cannot hear music unless i use earphones or speakers. What can i do to get it to work?

Are you sure that it is 2nd generation? (it would have an external volume control, and the tapered edges on the body).  The 1st generation has no external volume control button, no speaker, and squared-off edges.
If it really is 2nd generation and you can't hear the external speaker, of course make sure that the volume is turned up.  If you still can't hear anything, then Reset the iPod (press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release).  If that doesn't work, then Restore the iPod using iTunes.

  • Why i cannot hear music without headphone ?

    why i cannot hear music without headphone ?? how to solve this problem ? someone please help me ?

    My wife had this problem with her 4S for 2 weeks.  I got her to do a hard re-boot --holding down the home button and the power button on top until the apple symbol appears after the reboot.  (be sure to ignore the power off slide and keep holding down both buttons.)
    That fixed the problem for her.  She had the phone 2 months before this started, but now everything is fine.

  • PH965 cannot hear music

    In iTunes 10 I can see the sound bar going at top but cannot hear music from computer or headsets.  My settings on sound are correct.

    Hi,
    I had the same issue on iMac.  My resolution - I opened Quicktime Player and under File opened 'new audio recording'.  Then, playing from my Onkyo cassette player into the receiving headphone jack, I hit the center button of the Audio Recording and it recorded all.  Now to save and have in itunes, I hit the red closing button and up pops the save window.  At bottom of screen changed Movie to Audio Only.  Then hit arrow to right of Save As window to open up to creating my own file as to location.  Placed appropriate title in Save As.  And it was in that file and in iTunes with my title.
    I recorded from the Onkyo cassette into the iMac with rca wires, coupling into one cord & into the 'in' of the headseat on the backside of the iMac.
    Everything in sound said was reading incoming sound but the speakers had no reaction, but after doing this recording process, no issue on the sound.  And now I can put to CD these old tapes.
    Hope this helps.

  • My Iphone 4S cannot play music without headphone. Everything else works, such as alarm, siri, notifications, etc..., except music out loud. I tried everything, but there is no explanation on why it does this.

    My Iphone 4S cannot play music without headphone. Everything else works, such as alarm, siri, notifications, etc..., except music out loud. I tried everything, but there is no explanation on why it does this. If siri and alarm work fine, it cant be a internal sound system problem, and it is just for music without headphones plugged in or any other sound system.

    Hi shanny202.
    Really strange problem you have there. I have a few questions though.
    Please try again and try to make the phone as a new without restoringen with you iCloud-data or backup-data from iTunes. Maybe it is something wrong with the data (strange).
    Anyway, i think you should call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, don't forgot to make a Genius Bar reservation.

    using a new computer, and cannot download music without being able to answer security questions.  Is there a way to reset these or get the answers sent to you for one's security questions.

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

  • TS1630 i cant hear music unless i have earphones in.  when i unplug them i cant hear from iphone 4 speakers

    it seems as if my iphone is detecting earphones when they are not plugged in.  I could only hear music with earphones due to this problem.

    You probably have debris in the earphone jack blocking the sensor.  Try blowing hard on it, and quickly inserting/removing your earphone multiple times to dislodge it.

  • HT1414 I have the iPhone 4s. I have tried restoring my phone and cleaning out the ports, but I still cannot hear music or my videos playing. This happened after I did the last update on my phone. Is there anything else I can do? This is really irritating.

    I have the 4s. I have recently restored my settings and cleaned out the ports. I still cannot hear my audio for music or videos. My volume on the side of the phone does not work either. Everything workds in the setting menu. It is not a speaker issue because the ringtone works when people are calling and I can listen to the different ringtones as well. My notifications and text message audio does not work. My phone does not say that it is on a dock. When I try listening to music, the volume adjustment appears, but it is gray and unusable. Everything works when headphones are in plugged in and when it is on the dock. This started with the last iPhone update. What else can I do... this is becoming very frustrating.

  • I cannot hear music through my headphones ?

    Ever since i downloaded Itunes I cannot hear my music through my headphones only speakers and all my audio i download or add to my laptop goes through Itunes what do I do ????

    The first things to try are these basic troubleshooting steps.

    If they don't help, it's likely to be an issue that means the iPod needs repair.
    Is it still under warranty?

  • Cannot hear music

    Can hear my ipad sounds but cannot hear my music or youtube videos.  I can hear if wearing headphones.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on General
    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings
    What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

  • Cannot sync music without losing my purchases. Very frustrated. Is there a solution?

    I would give apple a negative one-hundred out of five at this very moment. Ugh. Okay, so a while ago, I left my ipod in the possession of my friend while I was away, and she synced it to another itunes account. Let's call that account A. I got it back about four months ago, and synced it with a DIFFERENT account, erasing everything that was on it. Let's call that account B. Since then, I have made several music purchases that are currently on my ipod. Now, a couple weeks ago, my computer totally crashed and was unable to be repaired. We just got a new one and I re-installed itunes. Let's call that account C. I put a recording (mp3 file) in the new itunes (account C) and attempted to sync with my ipod so I would be able to listen to it. It then proceeded to tell my ipod cannot be synced to two accounts at once. Now, normally this wouldn't surprise me, but the name it listed that my ipod was CURRENTLY connected to was my FRIEND'S account (account A!!) What in the WORLD?? I got rid of that a long time ago! Not only that, but it will not let me keep my current purchases on my ipod- I have to erase them if I wanted to sync to account C. Oh heck no, I paid money for those! I mean, really? It will not let me put those files on itunes account  C  at all, nor will it let me transfer those files onto my computer so I can transfer them back to the ipod after I sync accounts. I understand it was probably set up this way to prevent illegal distribution, but didn't they consider people who's computers crash?  Is there any way to keep my music without doing something illegal? I have googled solutions for this but they are all on outdated versions of itunes (so they will not work with mine) or the solution is illegal. I would much appreciate any solutions you guys have

  • Cannot hear music when playing movies or music videos

    can anyone help?
    everytime i transfer a video onto my ipod i cannot hear the music is there anyway of sorting this problem out. Also when i state a file to be a music video it does not transfer onto the ipod is this due to format of the file? I have tried to convert the file so it would go on the ipod but the problem is still the same it will not transfer.

    Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • I cannot hear music with my iPhone 4

    My iPhone has no volume when I try to play music

    Hey Christopher Ouslan,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing audio issues when your EarPods are connected. The following article provides troubleshooting steps for these symptoms:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    No sound through stereo headset
    1. Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
    2. Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
    3. Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
    4. If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose Music > Now Playing, then tap Play.
    5. Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
    6. Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
    7. Try a different song or video.
    8. Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
    9. Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
