EARPHONES

my earphones are bust after roughly 3 weeks, i went to buy another pair and the guy in the shop said that i pod earphones break just by looking at them, has any one else had bother and should i just buy a pair of sony ones or whatever????

to be frank I have never liked the apple earbuds.the sound is just awful. But It took at least a year before my one pair broke and that was just the rubber casing cracked.
If you are set on earbuds don't get sony's. I don't like their earbuds. panasonic earbuds are pretty good I think.

The difference between iPhone and iPod earphones with mic ?

What is the difference between the Apple iPhone Headset with Microphone and the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic ?

The iOS just WORKS as it should and is not glitchy at all like my experience has been with Android.
I had 6 Droid X's since laundh day on July 15th, and my wife has had 4 Droid Increidble's since she got her phone around that same time - and that one had been out for a few months before she got it even, so the "initial bugs" should have been worked out by then as there were a couple software updates to the phone (not even the 2.2 update I am talking about - just 2.1 updates to fix bugs) before she even got it.
And, that's another difference.....whenever there is a software update for the iPhone you get it IMMEDIATELY as there is no "hold" by carriers to tailor it to their own needs, etc., like there is with Android.
Good point about the updates, I believe the Fascinate just got the update that's been out for months already.

How do I use earphones with iphone

I am a grandmother who doesn't use all the apps that are on the iphone. I am planning a nice vacation where I will be flying quite a lot. Please tell me how to use noise cancelling earphones with my iphone. If I download an audio book, will I be able to listen to that on the plane. I also have an ipad, can I use the earphones with that as well. I had such a bad experience on my last trip with screaming babies on international flights. Thanks

Please tell me how to use noise cancelling earphones with my iphone."
Plug the earphones into the iphone. Put the headphones over your ears.
" If I download an audio book, will I be able to listen to that on the plane. "
Yes.
" I also have an ipad, can I use the earphones with that as well."
Yes.

My earpeice on my Iphone4 does not work. It acts as if i still have earphones plugged in. I have tried plugging in and out the earphone several times but it still has not resolved the issue. I have rebooted my phone but the problem still exits. Suggestion

Hi, I am using and Iphone 4 with OS 4.2.1, I recently started facing issues with my iphones earpeice. It acts as if the earphones are still connected. I have tried plugging in and out the earphones several times as per several posts confirming a fix for the issue, however i am still facing the problem. Please suggest..!!!!

We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE! After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
Hope this helps!

When I put in my earphones to listen to music the sound isn't clear and I have to push and hold them in it in order for it to be. It's not the earphones because I use them in my laptop and they work fine. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Whenever I put my earphones into my iPod Touch 2g the music isn't clear and I have to push and hold them in order to hear the song normally. It isn't the earphones because I tried another pair, that worked fine, and there was still no difference. I also use the same pair of earphones in my laptop and it sounds great. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to buy a brand new iPod touch? Do I need to clean it or something? And if so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
If still problem that indicates you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. Likely not worth it for your old 2G iPod

In my iPad mini if I use earphones I can hear from only one side

In my iPad mini if I use earphones I can hear from only one side but the earphones work fine with other devices

Have you tried different headphones in your iPad mini?
Check in Settings > General > Accessibility if little slider half way down isn't moved to either side towards "L" or "R".
If it isn't , try to reboot the device, but it's likely that your audio port isn't working correctly. If so, it should definitely be covered by warranty.

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
The solution was as follows for me anyway...
Go to your Finder
Choose the Go Menu
Choose Computer
Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
Choose your "Library" Folder
Choose the "Preferences" Folder
There should be a folder called "Audio"
Move that whole folder to the trash
Empty the Trash
Restart from the Apple Menu
When you are back up and running;
     Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
     Choose Sound
      In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
      Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

Can i get a replacement pair of earphones for free.

a couple of months ago i bought myself an iphone 5s which came with apple earpo headphones. i am a very careful person but within a month these headphones broke. i contacted apple several times for a replacement pair but had no luck. so i gave up and i bought a replacement pair of apple earpod headphones and within 4 days they have already broken (the right earphone doesnt give out sound). i took great care of them and i only used them 3 times am i entitled to a replacement for free?

If the iPod is within warranty, not abused and defective, including the battery, then Apple will exchange your iPod with a refurbished one. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to find out.

Why does the earphone jack on the HPdv7 NOT work when on the notebook stand and using replicator?

My Pavilion dv9815nr let me plug my earphones into the pc while it was on the desk extender or stand, and the sound of the speakers would be cut out -- which was especially a good idea late in the evening and helped keep peace in the family. I liked this VISTA machine very much and was quite happy with it for not quite 3 years. Unfortunately, the Optical drive gave out, or at least the BUS died and the techies recommended the purchase of a new machine since a repair was apparently expensive. In order to stay closely to the concept of a full keyboard laptop using a notebook stand with wireless keyboard and mouse, I bought end March a Paviliion dv7 as a replacement machine. Other than a series of minor mishaps, most of the problems were encountered with the peripherals and I am on a second wireless keyboard, mouse and replicator. Also a number of odd occurrences related to audio were fixed by obtaining the proper drivers. but now I have encountered something that appears to be simply sloppy design. When this laptop is in use on the notebook stand and linked to the replicator, the earphone jack on the left side of the PC is dead. The jack works fine and cuts out the speakers when the USB lead for the replicator is removed. There is a very impractical solution to the problem and that consists of plugging the earphone mini-plug into the jack located on the replicator. Since the replicator has a niche location on the back of the notebook stand, this is not a very practical solution. Any good ideas to get around this?

I went through the installation where the bar shows the percentages downloaded and installed. Once it shows 100% it asks me to click Finish. I do. Then I go to yahoo to check and it continues to show that the plugin is missing and that I need to download Adobe Flash which I thought that I just did. Am I missing something in terms of installing??

My iPad only has sound when the earphones are plugged in. The switch that controls the volume works then, but not when I take the earphones out. Suggestions?

Poor battery performance and poor earphones and no...

My new lumia 520 doesn't last 2.5 hrs with data connection on without any downloading. Even with data connection off and background programs blocked battery drains too quickly. That's too bad for a phone. Am I to keep the phone always in standby and not use it. I have to charge the phone atleast twice daily.
The phone doesn't have an equalizer. Music sounds flat. The earphones do not have volume control, or any controls like forward, rewind or call disconnect.
pdf documents in sd card are not detected. There is no file explorer . These features need to be taken care of for even a phone let alone a smart , next generation phone that Nokia claims this is.
The battery and earphones are too upsetting.

How can i use the built-in microphone at the same time as using my earphones? (they have an external mic attached)

I am recording stuff on garageband and i need to hear other tracks as I'm playing, but I have to play them through external earphones so that the they don't overlap onto the one I'm creating.
The wire for my earphones has an external microphone attached to it, however, I have no desire to use this microphone as it is ridiculously sensitive and picks up even the slightest vibrations when the wires rub against my cheek or my t-shirt.
Therefore, I need to use the built-in microphone when recording. Except that, whenever I plug in the earphones to the iMac, garageband automatically switches to the external microphone. I went in to the Garageband preferences, and saw that it was set up for recording through the built-in mic, which is strange because input is clearly coming from the external.
So, I went into the iMac System preferences > sound > input. There are three options here: Internal microphone, Line-in, and Soundbooth 3.0.
What I found is that whenever I plug my earphones into the iMac, the option for 'Internal microphone' changes into an option for 'external microphone'. Now, I am fairly sure that an 'external microphone' is EXACTLY the same thing as a 'Line-in', but I'm not so sure now, so please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
How do I stop the iMac from changing 'Internal microphone' to 'External microphone'? It is very important that I am able use the earphones and the Built-in Mic at the same time.

Hi John,
I think the only way is to get an iMic...

How can I make Apple Earphones be the Input and Output for Audio

I have some older headphones and they aren't compatible with a Mid 2010 (Intel Core i3) 21.5 Inch iMac
Is there some way to make Apple Earphones be the Input and Output for Audio in the iMac
This is a problem for me personally as when I am talking to someone on Skype the iMac picks up the In-built Microphone audio, and yes the headphones I'm using do work straight from the iMac as audio output
Any help is appreciated

you can connect the headset to something like this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-MaelineA-3-5mm-Female-to-2-Male-Gold-Plated-Headphon e-Mic-Audio-Y-Splitter-/381100440348
and then connect the mic to the input and the headset to the headset port
