Headphones don't fit it completely anymore.

From one day to the next, my headphones stop fitting in. When I look inside, I don't see anything blocking the entry, but there is a part of about 2 mm that doesn't get in. I can't listen to music, plase help.

The headphone plug seems to be too long and narrow for the jack. It easily slips out when I try to plug it in and I hear no sound when it's sitting in there.
The plug's shape is identical to the in-ear headphones that came with my first generation iPhone, which also does not fit. (except my headphones have 2 channels instead of the 3 on the iPhone in-ear set.)
My frustration stems mainly from the fact that no one else seems to have this problem... it's very odd.

    probably your zoom is on. try double tapping with three fingers on your screen, it should go back to normal and then goto

  • Old Headphones don't fit iphone

    I have a pair of Sennheiser PX 100 headphones which I had been using with my ipod video. But they don't fit the iphone jack. Are there adaptors out there for this sort of problem.

    What kind of adapter is actually needed?
    I have lots of adapters and don't want to drive to the Apple store (50 miles) if I can help it. Does anyone know if this is something that can be picked up at Radio Shack?
    It's pretty apparent it's some kind of triple plug (for the stereo headphones and a mic jack) but I was hoping this isn't proprietary.

  • Headphones don't fit as snug in jack as they used to

    I have a 2 year old 160gb classic. When I use my headphones, they seem to just slide in, and don't stay in very well. My iPhone 4S snaps the headphones in snug. Is this just an issue of age, or an issue ? Is there anything I can do, besides change the jack?

    Sorry guys, but this sounds to wierd - I'm listening to Pandora as I write this using $20 Sony earphones from WalMart. Or I can plug in my 3.5 jack which feeds into my amp & listen full-blown stereo. Not braggin or trying to make you jealous here - but I think I'd go to your dealer and demand some satisfaction. Good luck!

  • My headphone doesn't fit the phone anymore, something's stuck

    I cannot insert my headphone in my iPhone 5, something is in there and I cannot get it out.... what to do?

    schedule an appointment at the Genius bar of your local Retailstore to get it fixed. There might be a fee involved, so bring money.

  • Headphones doesn't fit anymore

    Hey
    I have a little problem with my iPhone 3G, the headphones doesn't fit anymore. I have used the headphones with the phone since I bought it (July 2008) without any problems, but today when I tried to plug in the headphones, they didn't want go all the way down, and sound quality was terrible. I can push it all the way down (and the sound is normal), but it goes up again if I release them. It seems like something is stucked in side there (altough I can't see anything), or that something is broken. I have tried with two different headphone (both made for the iPhone 3G) with the same result.
    It could also be dust, but I seems strange that it should go from working perfectly fine (yesterday) to not working at all (today).
    Anyone experienced the same problem with their phone before?
    I'm considering going to the Apple Store in Orlando tomorrow to see if they can help (the ATT store where I bought phone couldn't help at all), but if someone knows something I can try before driving to Orlando, I would appreciate it.

    Take a look at this shot:

    It is a shot of how it should look, the white plastic at the bottom is the moisture indicator. If you see lint you may be able to get it out with a very thin wire with a bend at the end to hook the lint out, just make sure the wire is soft and the phone is OFF

  • My headphones won't fit into the jack in my Mac Mini. Do I need a special type of adapter?

    Hi, I would like to plug my headphones into my Mac Mini, but they don't fit. I have tried many different types and brands of headphones, but nothing works. Do I need a special type of headphone or a special adapter or something? Or was it an error in building the product? I'd really like the help soon, thanks!

    No. The iPod uses headphoes with the standard 3.5 mm plug.
    Is the problem that the plug cant be fully inserted?

  • I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: you have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. I am sysadm

    I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: 'You have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. Possibly it does not exist anymore. anybody out there who can help ?

    Hi, I may suggest to activate the root account and try the uninstall process from that account. To do so, you have to:
    Go to System Preferences a open up the Users pane;
    On the left side of the pane, you shuold see Login Options;
    Enabled editing option clicking on the lock (it will ask your password);
    Once the pane is enabled, you should see something like Server Account Network (sorry my OS is in italian, so I don't exactly know the right translation), and right next to it a button;
    Click on that button, and a new pane shows up. Click on Open Directory Utility, and on the upper bar of OS X click on Edit;
    Select Enable Root Account (you can set a password, or not);
    Done that, you should log out and when the login window show up, type on the user field "root" and the password you choose;
    Theorically, from this account you will be able to unistall the application.
    After completing your task, I reccomend you to disable the root account, just by loggin in your personal account and repeating the steps I described before. Hope it helps

  • Earbuds don't fit

    I recently purchased a new fifth-gen iPod (first one), but find that the earbuds constantly fall out of my ears. Is there a trick to keeping them in? Are there better choices out there if these standard ones don't fit my ears?
    Dell 8100   Windows XP  

    I have some experience with the sound-insulating type earbuds.
    Shure is one of the better sets, but they're a bit pricey. Being that I'm in construction and often wear my phones at work, I'm not gonna risk messing up a pair of those.
    Sony and JVC make a similar set of headphones, with silicone pieces that shape themselves to your ear, and block out most outside noise very well. They give you different size silicone pieces as well for different size ears.
    I've been through probably 3 pairs of Sony's, and this is my second pair of JVC's (going back around 3 years). The Sony's sound a bit better, but for me they haven't been reliable enough. 2 of the 3 pairs I had went bad for seemingly no reason at all, one day one of the ears just stopped working and that was that. And on the first pair of Sony's I had, the rubber on the cord just disintigrated (but I think they fixed that problem).
    The JVC's, on the other hand, have taken quite a beating and still work well. Granted they don't have quite the same bass as the Sony's, but I'm not going to keep blowing $35 every few months for phones that are going to crap out for no reason. (The JVC's are about $35 too)
    And as far as comfort goes, you get used to them real quick. Sometimes I wear keep them in without any music on just to block out the rest of the world (i.e. during the commute or at work). The cord behind the head thing works well too, especially at work.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive?

    I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes.  Recently my itunes account changed and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds.  How to transfer from ipod back to itunes?  I don't have the cds anymore.

    I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes.  Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds.  The songs are still on my ipod.  I am affraid to sync now because the songs may be deleated, and I don't have the cds anymore.  How can I transfer the songs from the cds on my ipod back to itunes so that I don't lose them? 

    What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not your "account."  The "account" you have for iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use when purchasing or downloading from the iTunes Store.  If these songs came from music CDs that you imported into iTunes, those songs are not related to your Apple ID.
    Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds
    How are they not "recognized"?  Are the songs still listed in your iTunes music library, but grayed out?  They no longer appear in your iTunes library at all?
    If you search your computer (not in iTunes) for the song files, using one of the song names, can you find the song files?

  • Hello everybody, I need to update my ITunes on my MAC (laptop) to the newer version so I can then be able to update the latest updates for my Iphone-3G'S. I don't require a complete reinstall just need to be able to update it.What I have tried so far is I

    Hello everybody, Im trying to update my ITunes on my MAC (laptop) to the newer version so I can then be able to update the latest updates for my Iphone-3G. I don’t require a complete reinstall just need to be able to update my itunes.
    What I have tried so far is I had my MAC search for update’s and it said that I should update to (ITunes version  10 . 6 . 3 ) So I asked it to do the update but after 2hrs of waiting for it to download/update it then puts up a message saying the following- (In order to continue installation, please close the following application: ITunes).
    When I tried to do this another message comes up that says- (The update ITunes can’t be installed. The following install step failed: run preupgrade script for Apple mobile device support. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)
    I have also tried to run the update while having closed ITunes before I even start the update but the same problem happens after waiting about 2hrs.
    Some one that had the same problem said this might be happening in the older operating systems. But that does not make sense because surely Apple want customers who own a MAC and i-phone to still buy from iTunes.
    My MAC is about 4-5years old. I have a i-phone.3G, 
    Can anybody help me please and Thank you?

    Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

  • How can I cancel an existing Apple ID that I don't use and need anymore?

    As it is impossible to merge Apple ID's I would like to cancel the one that I don't use and need anymore. But even when I sign into my account there is no hint or else to just erase or cancel the whole thing. Any ideas? Thankx a lot!
