Earphone/headphones when plugged in, only plays one side/is the jack broken and if so, is this an expensive fix?

I have tried 6 sets of headphones and the right side of the music doesn't play. I think that the connector is bad. Is this expensive to fix?

Check the jack recepticle for any debris that might interfere with the connection.
Also, check the Settings app > General > Accessibility > Hearing to see if Mono is tunred on and the mono balance set to one side of the other.
Lastly, try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

TS5181 I downloaded a song but even after the download is complete, it only plays one second of the song and then it ends.

I downloaded a song to from iTunes, but even after the download is complete it only plays one second of the song and then it ends. Any ideas?

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

How do I get my printer to print only on one side of the paper?

I want to print only on one side of the papger. But machine prints out on both sides. When I remove the duplexer at back of machine, the paper flies out the back and printing error says no paper. I'm going nuts. I am a writer and can only submit material on one side of the paper. I just got this machine and hate that it has no manual and the manual on line is beyond me. I need simple easy to understand instructions for my simple brain. thanks

Hi,
Follow these steps to disable two sided printing:
Open the file you would like to print. From the File menu select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
Click the settings drop down, it will usually appear as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
Set the Two-Sided option as Off.
You may save the settings as a preset by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
By doing so and completing the print job these settings will remain default till another preset will be used in the future.

I changed a setting and now my nano only plays one song at a time over and over again. What and Where to I need to change

I must have changed a setting because the nano will only play one song and then repeat the one song. How do I change it back so it will play all the songs on the list?

Sounds like you turned on the repeat single song feature.
Go to now playing, then swipe right to left to get to the second screen. At this second screen you will see three icons. The one on the left looks like a loop and I am going to guess that there is a little "1" there on the loop. Hit that button until the 1 goes away. You will be able to find all this info in the online documentation for the Nano. That planb linked to above.

When creating a PDF from the scanner, it only scans one side despite the settings.

When creating a PDF from the scanner, it only scans one side. I am using a fi-7160 that supports scanning both sides at once. The Scanner software is configured to scan both sides, and so are the presets in Adobe Acrobat Pro. I've only gotten the setting to work with the Custom Scan setting. Has anyone else had this problem, and what is the solution?
Additionally, the software bundled with the scanner with automatically omit the back sides of a page if it is blank. I am scanning large files with occasional double sided pages. Is there a way to avoid having to manually delete blank pages when creating a new PDF from the scanner? It takes twice as long because I'm using the OCR stabilization.

Hi anne,
Could you please let me know what Acrobat and OS version are you using.
Does this happen in case of any particular PDF or all PDF files?
Try repairing Acrobat and then again check.
Hope to get your response.

My 3gs has stopped playing through the speakers and when the headphones are plugged in only plays through one ear? it still ring when called and everything else seems fine, whats the problem? it seems like the phone thinks the earphones are always in?

my 3gs has stopped playing music through the speakers, they play with headphones but only through one ear. It seems the phone thinks the headphones are in all the time. The ringer still works when called and i have cleaned the headphone socket the best i can without damaging the phone! Any ideas?

I had the same issue, 4s running ios8, but the plugging and unplugging the headphones did not work, BUT, when I tried plugging and unplugging from the DOCK, it started to work again. There must have been a short in the power plug, not the headphones. I also blew out the bottom power plug with computer safe airjet. Hope this one helps anyone else having the issue.

HT1420 I downloaded my first video from iTunes store. when I went to play it, iTunes asked me to authorize the computer. It is already authorized! Now it shows 2 computers authorized when I am only using one computer for my iTunes music and videos. ???

I downloaded my first purchased movie from the iTunes store. When I tried to play it., I was asked to authorize the computer. I had already authorized the computer to play music, so I thought this was the only authorization I needed. i went ahead and authorized my computer, Now it shows that I have 2 authorized computers! I don't understand. Shouldn't one authorization be enough?

Hmm,
This is not a big problem as you can have up to five authorised devices.
However, if this is a problem you can go to Store, View my Account,
Deauthorize All
Then you will have to authorize your computer again.
Hopefully the number will stay as 1.

Itunes only plays one song at the time

My Itunes plays only one song at the time. If I try to play the next one by pressing the "forward" button Itunes stops playing.
What now????
Geertvun

Are the songs 'checked'?
iTunes only plays the next checked song when pressing the forward button.
To check/uncheck all songs, command-click on one of the checkboxes preceding the name of the song.
Hope this helps.

When playing one specific band, the iPod freezes, has to be restarted...

When trying to play one specific band, the iPod freezes and has to be restarted. Tried to clear and load the songs again many times, even downloaded the band's album from a different place, it's no use tho. It crashes EVERY TIME. With only this one band. Anybody having any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
I have had this problem for quite a while also. Actually there was a thread on this problem a month or so ago, but no one seemed to have a fix. The first CD will import fine, but after that any additional CDs you insert into the drive remain unrecognized until you exit and restart Itunes at which point the CD and drive are recognized, the track information is retrieved, and the CD will import normally. This is a real hassle.
I have done the obligatory reinstall to no avail. It would seem that this problem is common enough that someone would have discovered the fix.

IPhone-only play one song then quits. After update

My Phone seems to have a problem where it only plays one song out of a playlist and maybe 2 seconds out of the next song and it quits the program and goes to the home page. The audio books don't seem to remember to start where they quit also. Worked fine before upgrade. Haven't tried to reset phone yet. Thanks for help.

Upon resyncing with my laptop this am the bug seemes to be gone and both problems have corrected them selfs. All songs play like they should and the audio books do remember where they stopped at.

IPhone 5. Prior to the iPhone 5, I could listen to podcasts one after the other without doing anything. Now it will only play one podcast at a time, then I have to click on the next one. Not a great feature when driving. TIA, Sarah

How do I get it to just play through all the podcasts that I've downloaded just like my 1st gen?
Group and order your podcasts to a playlist. Then play them from the playlist.

I just received a brand new iPod touch as a gift. But when I try to play music on it the speaker is extremely slow. When I plug in headphones I hear nothing. Tried multiple headphones. Tried a restore.

Try here:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
You said you restored the iPod. Was the restore successful, that is, it went though all the steps without errors?
Try a restore to factory settings/new iPod if yuhave not doe so so far.
Are you using the headphones that came with the iPod? Are you inserting the plug fully
Have you tried another set of headphones in the iPod?
The speaker is not that loud.

Earphone/headphones when plugged in, only plays one side/is the jack broken and if so, is this an expensive fix?
