Ear phones compatibilities

I've noticed that my Bose ear buds will not work with the iPhone. What's the dilly with that? The jacks on my Bose and the one that came with my iPod are the same but the jacks on the iPhone buds are slightly different.

The iPhone's audo jack is recessed, and requires a narrow plug. You can get an adapter for other headphones to make them fit. Check out the Belkin iPhone Headphone Adapter.

  • The sound on my ipod 4 touch is speeded up when I play a podcast in any format - Bose dock, ear phones or mic.  How do I fix that?  Can I?

    How can I return the sound on my iPod 4 touch to normal?  The sound is speeded up when I play a downloaded podcast in any format - Bose dock, ear phones or mic.  It's hard to tell, but the music seems ok, and the podcasts sound fine on my Mac.
    I don't know what happened, but suddenly the playback was speeded up, even on podcasts that I had listened to normally before! Do I need to take it in for repair?  Is there anything I can do?  Thanks for your advice!  Paula

  • The contacts in the ear phone hole are not working anymore!

    I have a Movie IPOD...I guess 5th gen. Its about 3 years old, I take good care of it. I have my ear phones for when Im out of the car, and a cord for my car radio that plugs into the ear phone hole. Well all of a sudden the ear phone hole and its contacts inside of it, are not working properly. I only get sound out of the left side of my car speakers and me ear phones. It has no warrenty and I am just wondering please tell me there is a place where such things can be fixed. Please tell me that I can take it to an apple store and get it repaired, like same day type thing.
    Thank you...

    I have the exact same problem, sound only comes from left side unless you juggle wire, twist it etc. i now spend more time trying to get it to work right then actually listening to it. So I believe it is time for a new Ipod. Apple wont replace any internal parts but will send you a new/ refurbished ipod identical to yours for around $125. You will, however, need to reload all songs, pictures, etc. 3rd party sites will sell you a new headphone jack for around $100 but most require you to install it yourself. Opening the Case will void the warranty. Which brings up another good point: if you still have a warranty (1 year from Apple, possible store/ credit card extension) use it. Your final option is to give your ipod to an apple store where they will recycle it for you and give you a 10% discount on a new Ipod of your choice. This has made me lose faith in Apple. I have had 2 ipods which both stopped working in less than 2 years. i love apple design and interface but quality is low. hope this helps!!

    Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

    If you try restoring from a backup and that doesn't fix the problem, try restoring to factory settings and synching your apps. You'll lose the app data and settings, but if the problem is due to a corrupt cache or settings file, that should cure it. If that still fails to correct the problem, take or send the iPhone to Etisalat for replacement.

  • My ipod wont play music solely through the ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and quietly through earphones. Is this fixable??

    My ipod wont play music solely through ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and the earphones together. Is this able to be fixed??

    I am also experiencing some problems with the new software version, I bought the Belkin TuneBase for my car 25 days ago it had been working fine since I upgraded my Ipod 2 days ago, you know that sometimes if you don't get good reception you can change to a diferent preseted station on this Belkin Transmitter but since this Ipod upgrade I can't change to a diferent station and also i can't disconect it like before because before it said you were ok to disconect and I'm afraid to return because perhaps afterall is a software problem.

  • TS2771 how can i get my speaker to my iPod touch 5th generation to work i cant hear with without using the ear phone's

    How can I get my speaker fixed I cant hear only when I use my ear phones

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty or the iPod has been abused, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • My sound only works through the ear phones with some apps....

    With some apps (Games and books) I can only get sound on my IPAD 2 though the earphones...this just recently occured. With movies the sound goes through the speakers just fine.  Is there some adjustment I can make so I can hear the games without using the ear phones?

    Make sure that you haven't got notifications muted (which will affect most games, but not iPod or Videos apps, nor earphones). Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to, notifications can either be muted by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar (the function that the switch isn't performing is on the task bar instead) : double-click the home button to bring up the task bar, slide the bar to the right, and it's the icon far left. There is more info about the switch and the task bar and the mute/rotation lock functions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • No sound after using the ear phones

    i was watching you tube video using the ear phone. when to to do something cam back no sound. with or without ear phones. i am not very technial so n idea what to do as i am in Fiji on holidays.

    If there is a red light in the audio output port, insert the earphone plug a few time to see if you can trip the internal switch.  If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer or the like and jiggle inside in order to trip the switch.  If that fails, go to a repair facility and have them trip the switch.

  • HT1766 My iPad speaker suddenly quit working, ear phones are ok, anything in setup for a fix

    My speaker suddenly quit working, ear phones are ok, is there a setting for this

    Plug/unplug the headphones from the iPad a few times. Also try rotating the plug in the socket a few times. The headphone jack has an internal switch which turns the speaker off when the headphones are plugged in. The contacts may have gotten dirty within the socket. Working the plug within the socket can sometimes get things working again.

  • IPod Classic Ear Phone Problem

    Using Apple or Klipsch ear phones, right ear bud does not work. Any suggestions?

    That's usually a good indication of a hardware issue, usually with the iPod's headphone jack meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced or replaced.  Check the headphone jack to make sure it is clean and clear of any sort of debris.  Also look for signs of damage that could be preventing a full and proper connection with your headphones.

  • 3.5mm jack Ear Phones not working with IPAD

    I have tried few ear phone (3.5mm jack) all working with Deskptop, Netbook, Laptop but none working with IPAD, it seems, there is a manufacturing fault in IPAD, I going abroad in 5 days, when I contact apple support on the phone, they need at least 7 working days, any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

    Double-check that you really pushed it all the way in - it's a tight fit. If that doesn't help, do as nick101 said.

  • Headphones only provide sound out of one ear phone

    Hi, I've got a 17" flat panel iMac running 10.4.2. I recently purchased a pair of good (Grado SR80) headphones for general use. When I plug them in to the Mac's headphone port, I get sound out of one ear phone only. Nothing out of the other. The supplied Apple speakers work fine, however, with sound from both speakers. Any idea how I can get the phones to play normally? I'm really disappointed. The headphone port couldn't possibly be monoaural could it? Or so underpowered it won't power a pair of phones?
    robert

    I only have one pair! The speakers work perfectly on my small JVC mini stereo set (which only has 10W of power). The speakers are plugged into the little speaker port on the iMac (I think the Apple iMac speaker jack is non-standard). The headphones were plugged into the headphone jack. I checked the Audio control panel. The settings are fine.
