External volume not working on latest gen iTouch

All of a sudden, the external speakers stopped working on my iTouch...it's the latest gen.
I've checked every setting I can find. I have updated my iTunes/Apple software. My earphones work.
When I listen to a song or watch a video, the audio 'bar' doesnt even show up on the screen.
Help please. The external speakers is one of the main reasons I upgraded from my first gen. iTouch.
Thanks.

I've got the same problem. I'm pretty new to this kind of stuff, but I've been through every setting, but still can't get the external speakers to work. I've tried putting the ear phones in and out, but agree that doesn't seem to be a real solution for a product at this price.
Any help / advice really appreciated.

  • Hello,  I have iMac from Oct, 2010 and have OS 10.6.7 and multiple users.  Mail icon was accidently removed along with program.  Mail 4.4 is on other users but when I reloaded software my user got Mail 4.3. Mail 4.3 did not work with latest OS. Ideas?Matt

    Hello,  I have iMac Itel i3, from Oct, 2010 and have OS 10.6.7 and multiple users. 
    About 3-4 days ago the Mail icon in dock had question mark and was accidently removed, along with program on my user.  Oops.
    1. Mail 4.4 is on other users and works fine, but for me it does not work and tells me V4.3 does not work with latest OS X. 
    2. I reloaded software from my user with original disks  (Oct, 2010) and got Mail 4.3 again. Mail 4.3 did not work with latest OS.  I am unable to load Mail.  Gives Yellow error message.    
    "  You have Mail version 4.3 (1081/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.7 (Build 10J869). For more information, click the Help button."
    3. Tried to update software and look for update for mail 4.3 on Apple site to no success.
    Hate to go to MS-Entorage ( I may need to learn something new and alien) mail program since contracts are in Mail/Address Book.
    Ideas?

    Matt,
    I would download and run the 10.6.7 combo update.

  • The volume not working on my iphone 4s

    The volume not working on my iphone 4s

    I had the same problem as well for nearly 3 months.
    I had tried bring the Iphone into my phone carrier and they sent me to the AppleStore. When I brought it to them they hooked it up to the diagnostic machine and they told me just to restart the Iphone from the factory settings.
    This didn't work either. To complicate things more, other "solutions" seem to only yield temporary success. These temporary solutions included: blowing compressed air into every port, various restart combinations, various factory restore methods.
    I had nearly given up until I stumbled upon a support post on Apple's website that finally yielded success.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    The solution for me is listed as line 7, which reads:
         "Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris."
    Apparently, this cylinder shaped, mesh area is in some way tied to what triggers the headphones/speaker selection. I am not sure how, but I can say that after gently brushing it out my sounds are working again; specifically my music is now able to play directly off the speakers and my Iphone apps all play their sounds agian.
    Hope this helps you as well!

  • My ipad2 media volume not working, volume bar not showing

    My ipad2 media volume not working, volume bar not showing

    here are my similar symptons:
    in Settings the volume slider bar when moved plays a sound out of the speaker
    when you double press home button, and slide over to the brightness and volume slider bars, the volume slider is completely gone.
    when you plug in headphones it works fine, volume rocker controls volume perfectly.
    when you press volume rocker without headphones, nothing happens, or a blank "sound effects" icon displays.
    I sent my Ipad2 to Apple for this under warranty.  They said there are some small scratches on the side of it. 
    It lives in a heavy duty case, but the exposed area has been knicked some how.    The little divots in the metal on the side mean that "impact" must have broken it. 
    Forget the fact that it spontaneously started happening and that the speakers and headphones both work at various times, and the volume rocker works, but iOS 5.1.1 apps can't send sound out the speaker, but the volume settings in the sound do send out sound..
    so they refused to look at it or repair it under the warranty.   I was a day away from buying yet another apply device in our family that already has a couple iPod Touches and 2 iPads.  I think I'll buy a droid now.

  • Push notifications are not working on current gen ipod touch

    Push notifications are not working on current gen ipod touch. I just got it a couple of weeks back. It is a refurbished model.
    It works fine on my iphone 4 flawlessly. I have compared the settings between the 2 and everything is similar. Not sure if there is anything specific that needs to be done for an ipod. Kindly advise.

    Yea...internet is working fine. tried everything. reset the network, turned off the notifications, rebooted and turned them on. Still not working.
    When I select auto settings, its asks for https url...what do i type in there?
    The most weird thing is that, it was working fine before the update :s

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.Have yo tried:

  • External Display not working (descriptive details in post)

    Hello
    Background:
    I have been using a black Macbook (last year's model - before the aluminum ones came out) and connecting it to a VIZIO VW22L HDTV10T (television/monitor) via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter.
    This setup always worked, although it was a bit finicky (I'd have to plug it in before closing the display to get in to work in clamshell mode, for example). I get the feeling from reading other forum posts that this is the normal case, though (which so far has been my only real gripe with OS X).
    Anyway, back a couple months ago I wondered if this finicky-ness was partially caused by a messed-up preference file, so I decided to try and fix this. In the ensuing tweaking, I somehow caused my Display preferences to disappear.
    After much effort trying to fix the problem, I eventually called Apple support, which ultimately recommended that I reinstall OS X. I didn't do that, and continued to work at the problem. I eventually was able to bring it back by going into my Time Machine backups and restoring all the Display preference files (I used old preferences from back when I got the external HD, so I knew they'd be "uncorrupted). However, now I'm having problems with my external display, namely that it is not working.
    This problem started early this year, so it might have been caused by the 10.5.5 update, but since I had all these other problems going on, I'm not sure if that was the case.
    Problem:
    The Macbook doesn't seem to recognize the display, or is having problems routing video to the display, or something.
    If I plug the display into the Macbook while it is running normally, the Macbook LCD will flash blue (like it picked up a new display), but them come back to normal. The monitor will go out of sleep mode for a second, but then display a "No signal" message. If I attempt to "Detect Displays" the Macbook screen will either flash blue (as before) or just do nothing.
    If I have the display plugged in when I start up the Macbook, everything will proceed as normal until the time the desktop would be displayed. Instead of this, I just see a blue screen (like some generic desktop before any background is applied). The menu bar, the dock, and icons do not show up. However, I can hear various audio cues telling me the computer is running fine except for htis problem (email notifier going off, etc.).
    I know the problem is not faulty hardware, because when I boot my Macbook into Windows, everything works perfectly. It therefore follows that it is an OS X problem. I downloaded both Cocktail and Applejack and run various repairs on them (most notable repairing preferences), but nothing has changed.
    Any suggestions about how to try fixing this? If there's any technical detail I've missed, let me know.
    Thank you in advance to everyone who tries to help.

    I have same problem. MacBook Pro (new, 2014) upgraded to Yosemite. Had been running with ViewPoint high-resolution, 27" monitor, HDMI. I tried Thunderbolt connection -- it connected, but it would not allow the external monitor to run at its native resolution (2560x1440). It would only display properly using HDMI. Just 3 days ago after I installed the latest OSx software update, and my external monitor problems started. On startup, my MacBook screen flickers non-stop. I can fix problem eventually (after several tries) by disconnecting the HDMI cable, turning OFF the external monitor power, turning external monitor back ON and then plugging in the HDMI to my MacBook Pro. This is very inconvenient.
    I will try using the Thunderbolt cable. When I tried it in the past, it connected, but it wouldn't display the native resolution of my external monitor (which is 2560x1440). Can only get this resolution now with HDMI.

  • External hub not working

    I had to disconnect the external hub from the ZS pro sound card on my XP system and on reconnecting I now find that the lights on the hub dont show. It does not do anything,control the volume or work the headphones. The pro gamer G500 speakers can be controlled from the wired controller and the headphones work from it but the on screen display does not show. I have double checked the connection.Has any one got ant ideas please

    I have the same problem. Using a powered USB hub to connect my LaCie disk makes no difference versus a direct USB connection to TC.
    Overall, I think I have other problems with TC, as I can access it via Time Machine, but not via Finder. I can see it in Finder, but any attempt to connect this way results in a "Connection Failed" message

  • External headphones not working (unless plugged in at boot up)

    Hello,
    I have a MBP 1st gen unibody running 10.5.7. However in last few days my headphones are not working when i plug them in. When i got into system pref-sound it still shows as internal speakers... this is where it goes weird tho: If i boot the machine up with the headphones in, they work fine and system prefs show them as headphones. But as soon as i unplug them and plug them back in, the machine doesn't recognize them anymore.
    I have done the following with no luck:
    Repaired permissions
    Reset PRAM
    Created new user account
    Tried another set of headphones
    Reinstalled quicktime
    Restored system from time machine backup
    Did a full archive and install and tried it under 10.5.5 and was same then later did all the updates, still same.
    I think i covered the basics.. its just weird it works when leaving headphones in on bootup then afterwards stops if i take them out and back in. I have booked an appointment at a genius bar but wonder is there anything ive missed before i go....
    Any help, tips or tricks will be appreciated.

    Hey!
    I'm having the exact same problem. Just bought a new MBP 13 inch with Snow Leopard already installed. I toggle a lot between having external speakers or headphones plugged into audio output. It was working fine for about the first week with the computer, but just started having the problem you describe-- not recognizing an external audio device plugged in unless I restart/put computer to sleep. Any solutions yet?
    Thanks!
