Docking stations works, but headphones wont!

My Ipod will work fine well in the docking station, but won't even turn on while I'm using it with the headphones. It seems to freeze up. Any ideas?

Thanks, djjackj, I'm starting to believe that, too! (Though it would be so much easier if it was just a software glitch!)
I've been searching old posts about this problem. It started cropping up back in 2006. At least 66 people have posted about this same phenomenon.
Two posts mentioned possible DIY fixes. Here's their advice (but I haven't tried this myself yet):
"Hello everybody,
I have found a solution for my problem, I hope it can help you guys too. I found this following link to get my ipod open:

When I opened it I discovered that the connection to the little print (?) where you plug in your headphones was loose (it is a piece with both the headphone plug and the hold function). So I simply reconnected it, and voila, my ipod was fixed! Good luck!"
"I had the same problem and fixed it by following the procedures to opening the mini to replace the battery. Then you will see the CB that the headphones plugs into. This CB (circuit board) plugs into the main ( mother board )
Mine had worked it's way partly out. I pushed this plug back on securely and the headphones now work. Hope this helps. You can find the instructions for changing the battery by googling changing the battery on a mini IPOD."
Someone from Germany already tried this . . . and it worked!
But opening an iPod is scary stuff . . .

  • IPhone 4S speakers don't work but headphones do

    I just purchased Bose headphones that work great with iPhone.  Now after several times of using them the speaker on the phone does not work.  The icon ringer does not say headphone mode but the phone seems stuck in headphone mode.  When I put the phone on a docking station the external speakers on the docking station work fine.  Any ideas how to get the speaker on the phone to work again?  I have tried sucking air on the jack hole, blowing air in the jack hole, unplugging the jack several times but no resolve.  any ideas?

  • Boynq iCube Docking Station work with iPod Video ?

    I am very interested in this product. But not sure if Boynq iCube Docking Station work with iPod Video ? Has anyone out there with a ipod video also has this. Does it dock well with say iPod Video 30G ?

    as long as it has the same connecter it should be fine.
    if you get one make sure the ipod fits in the cradle well.
    if it wiggles too much or seems to be leaning further back than it should either put something around it to keep it standing up or return it and get a different kind.

  • Sometimes , when I open ITunes Radio, an ad saying that I'm listening to iTunes Radio over and over and I don't get to listen to music. Usually other stations work but select stations just keep repeating the same ad. Why is this?

    It started working again. I guess it just got messed up

  • Will the ipod docking station work for the iphone5?

    will the ipod docking station work for the iphone5?

    Which iPod is it?
    If it's the newest generation iPod dock, then it probably won't as the new iPod is much thinner than the iPhone 5. It also depends on the shape of the dock (if it has a thin space for the iPod device). Do you think you could add a picture. I will give a more direct suggestion of you can.

  • HEADPHONE JACK not working.... but DOCKING STATION works fine

    Music through any headphones is garbled & bad. But JBL docking station plays music fine. Have restored twice - no improvement. Is the headset jack broken? Any solution other than buy a new ipod? Thanks.

  • What docking stations work with the ipad 4?

    I want to get my daughter a speaker docking station for her ipad 4, if possible not more than £50. All the ones i've looked at seem to be compatible with the older ipads and will work with version 4 but only if you plug a cable in which seems to defeat the object!
    Has anyone bought one or know of any please?
    Erica

    Well, I don't have any specific recommendations, since I've never used them myself.  There are so many choices, just make sure the specs say it works with your older iPod model.
    If you get a "plain" dock (like that Universal Dock), or an older version (no remote control) for cheap on eBay, it's not just for connecting to computers.  It has a audio output jack (that gets a high quality line out signal from the iPod's dock connector).  You can connect that to your stereo system's auxilliary input, or to any powered speakers (the type people connect to computers).  For power, connect the docking cable to a USB power adapter instead of a computer's USB port.
    And you can connect it to your computer too.  Plus, if the speakers go bad (or you want better ones), you don't have to throw the whole gadget away.  Just get new speakers, keep the dock.

  • What docking station works with the ipod touch 4th generation?

    What docking station is works with the ipod touch 4th generation?  We have a Bose docking station which I'm having trouble getting it to fit onto.

    Gal:
    I'm not exactly clear what your question is.
    How does the system you have been given not work with your iPod? What is the problem?
    What is your point about the 4th generation adaptor? The "adaptor" is merely a physical piece of plastic that sits in the Docking Station's dock and creates the exact shape for your model of iPod to fit snugly into it. So a 1st or 2nd generation iPod would not benefit in any way from a 4th gen adaptor.
    Are you trying to find a portable iPod Docking Station that works without mains power?
    You said: " the customer service agent said it would make the iPod fit, but it wouldn't charge or play music." What is your point about charging the iPod? I don't understand what you are trying to say. I presume that the system you've been given does charge a 1st and 2nd gen iPod.
    The product you linked to looks portable to me. So why does it not suit your needs, is this about using it out in the garden (my question 2)?
    Less complicated in what way? What exactly are you finding complicated? Simply place the iPod into the Docking Station and (presumably) select the iPod input and press play.

  • What docking stations work with the ipod mini gen 2?

    Looking to get a docking station for my ipod mini gen 2.  Are there any out there that are known to work?

  • Serial Number Works But Photoshop Wont Open

    My photoshop trial endend but i saved a serial number for when it did and i put it in and it says it works but then when i press continue it says press close and reopen it and it wont open

    Hi,
    I am not quite able to figure what you mean when you say that you saved your serial number. Did you purchase the software from Adobe and get the serial number? In that case, you could contact adobe customer support to solve your problem. (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/)

  • Qosmio X870 - Internal speaker don't work but headphones do.

    I'm a little annoyed as this problem has seemed to have randomly occurred.
    Making it difficult to pinpoint what caused this/finding a solution... :(
    So after opening my laptop from sleep or hibernate, I can't remember which specifically and want to listen to some music, I notice there is none.
    I plug in my earphones, and there is sound. Both times the sound mixer is indicating sound.
    The speakers are the default device, green tick, and sound levels are picked up. "This device is working properly.".
    I actually let windows automatically find a newer driver version, which it surprisingly did, downloaded and installed - restart laptop. Still no sound.
    I read somewhere that it appears for some that the hibernation and or sleep mode on Toshiba laptops cause the audio drivers to behave strangely. But I don't now what kind of troubleshooting to do, to fix this.
    Or it could be hardware related, regarding the port/jack. I don't know. I pray its software.
    Please could someone help me and make me happy again
    Nigel

    Hi
    >Or it could be hardware related, regarding the port/jack. I don't know. I pray its software.
    I dont think its hardware related issue.
    As I understood the issue: the speakers work properly if the notebook runs in normal mode.
    The speakers dont work if the unit wake up from hibernation or sleep mode.
    I meet such issue on my 2nd notebook. The speakers did not work but sound appeared using connected headphones. I could solve this by sound driver update.
    But I think this isnt a universal solution.
    From my point of few you should try different workarounds.
    First of the notebook should be tested and checked using the Toshiba preinstalled system.
    The image has been configured and tested by Toshiba and usually everything should work properly. Therefore i would recommend you to use the Recovery disk (or HDD recovery procedure) in order to set the notebook back to the factory settings.
    The other workaround would be the uninstallation of the sound driver as well as other sound driver related parts.
    In device manager go to the sound, video and game controller
    Here uninstall/delete the
    - Realtek sound driver
    - nVidia High Definition Audio (if available)
    - Intel high definition audio controller (if available)
    After this short procedure reboot the notebook.
    Now you will need to wait until the deleted devices were recognized and installed again.
    After this process has been finished, check the sound availability.

  • Ipad2 Inbuilt speaker not working, but headphone is working

    I am using iPad2 32 GB, 3G + Wifi. updated with iOS 5.
    It's in-built speaker is not working, but when I use headphone, sound it working on it.
    Please help.
    I checked mute button and checked doubling clicking the home button and going all way to the left.
    Still not working..
    pLease help !!
    Thanking you in advance

    You've double checked that you haven't got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.  Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If that isn't the case then have you tried a reset by pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for 10 to  p15 seconds until the Appe logo appears (it won't remove any content). Also when you use the volume switch does it show a heanhone symbol on the screen i.e. does it think than headphones are connected even when they aren't ?

  • Will my docking station work with Yosemite?

    I installed Yosemite, and now my Targus docking station doesn't work. Does anyone know of a solution?

    No. Different connectors. iPhone 5S uses Lightning connector and the iPhone 4s uses the old 30pin connector
    Apple does sell 30pin to Lightning adapters
