Headphones won't go in the headphone jack and volume stuck on mute

my headphones will only go about halfway into the headphone jack and the volume is stuck on mute. it looks like there is something sticking out inside of the headphone jack.

Take your MBP to an Apple Store for a check.

As per the Apple iCloud status page, they are having issues. Do not make changes at your end.

The Apple ID has been changed on my iPad but the apps won't update with the new id and password, including the apps that came with the iPad so I can't delete and reinstall with new Apple ID

What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password. Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?

Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps.

My imac won't startup past the spinning gear and my apple keyboard is wireless but it won't connect, how do I fix the problem so I can get into safe mode?

My imac won't startup past the spinning gear and my apple keyboard is wireless but it won't connect, how do I fix the problem so I can get into safe mode?
Can anybody help me on this issue? I have already tried to replace the batteries but since the computer won't get past the spinning wheel of death then the keyboard won't connect.

Please follow Apple's advice in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570. If you need to get your hands on a wired USB keyboard, even a PC one will work fine.
Do not follow the previous poster's advice, that option is a "last chance" option. OS X is stable and in most cases a reinstall is never needed. Follow the directions in Apple's letter.

Here's some more info.
I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
Any thoughts?

IMac G5 Power PC won't boot past the grey apple and pinwheel

After everything froze and having to shut down (holding the power button), it won't boot past the grey apple and pinwheel. After a few seconds, the fans speed up and then nothing else.
*it won't boot into safe mode (holding shift)
*booting to OS on DVD works but then freezes after select language and hit "continue"
*disk utility shows the actual hard drive name but no disk image/partition is listed for me to repair or change
*running the system hardware diagnostic CD returns a list of "passed" for all hardware
I did have the logic board replaced during the extended warranty period a few years back and have not had any issues at all since.
Any thoughts, suggestions, tricks/tips?

Perfect diagnosis. I replaced the HD and reinstalled the OS. Back in business! Thanks!

My MacBook Air won't charge using the power cord and it's not the power cord that's malfunctioning. The battery is now exhausted.

My MacBook Air won't charge using the power cord and it's not the power cord that's malfunctioning. I went to Radio Shack and tried two new cords. The battery is now dead. Any thoughts?

Unfortunately, my battery has died as a result of not being able to charge with the power cord. Not sure what an SMC reset is but I have made an appointment to bring my laptop in to the Apple Store. Thank you for your response. Very much appreciated.
Warm Regards,

My headphones suddenly won't fit into the headphone jack on the 1st generation ipod touch

Has anyone had the problem where the headphones would only go about 3/4-way into the jack on the ipod touch? I tried cleaning out the jack but there's no lint or dust that I could get out with a qtip or blowing air. Any suggestions?

Could there be a tip from another set of headphones stuck in the headphone jack?
Have you tried another pair of headphones?
Does the plug look OK?

My plug in speakers and headphones won't work in either headphone jacks

The headphone jack won't let my plug in speakers or headphone work. it will only let the built in speakers give out sound. i don't know if its broken or not.

Check the Audio Midi Setup Application in Applications -> Utilities. Make sure it is set for 48kHz. Higher frequencies frequently make audio unplayable. Some of the older updates would change the default frequency.

Headphones won,t work in the front pa

Hi all,
Sorry to disturb you again with this problem but I went through all the forums and even if tons of other people got the same problem, they never got any serious answer. So I'm trying again....
I own an Audigy 2 ZS card and my new headphones won't work in either green or pink connectors in the front of my computer case. I have no problem with speakers. My headphones work on other devices but no sound if I plug them in front of my computer.
Is there someone at Creative who can give us an answer to this problem? I bought my expensi've headphones only to play games on my computer, I would like them to work properly.
Please help "me" (or "us")
Thanks in advance.

Well,
Thanks for your fast answer. But do you mean that these 2 jacks are totally useless? If so, I'm wondering why they are there. That makes no sense. These jacks are there for headphones and micro. And by headphones, I guess we are talking about any kind of headphones.
And I guessed that these jacks were not directly linked to the audio card but I was sure that the mother board was the link between these in-line and the audio card.
Anyway, my only question is: "How come they put these jacks there if they are not linked to the audio card?"
Thanks

My headphones are not recognized by the headphone jack.

This is an extremely chronic problem that I am getting very furstrated with and I would like it to be resolved soon.
Problem:
My speakers work perfectly fine, the problem is when my headphones are plugged in.
What happens when I plug my headphones in:
No sound comes out of them.
The little speaker icon on the top of the screen next to the battery charge and the internet signal turns grey.
When I press the volume buttons (F11 and F12), the speaker icon comes up on the screen, but the volume does not change and there is a small circle icon with a side slash through it.
In system /preferences/sound it doesn't say headphones, but it says digital out.
I have tried to resolve the issue multiple times by calling AppleCare and going into the Genius Bar.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME. I WILL BE ETERNALLY INDEBTED TO YOU.
This is what has been done:
First time: The Genius plugged his headphones into the computer and it miraculously started working, then it stopped working when I got home.
Second time: A new logic board was put in the computer, three weeks later it stopped working.
I called AppleCare yesterday, the technician had me delete two files that started with com.apple... then reset the PRAM, it worked for half an hour, then it stopped.
I called AppleCare again today, but I was told to just plug the headphones in and out to toggle the switch in the headphone jack. It didn't do anything. Also, what is the purpose of that switch in the headphone jack?
The only time I have seen that red light being emitted was when it stopped working after the new logic board was installed. A red light was emitted from the jack when the headphones were removed for about an hour. Then it started working for 20 minutes, then it stopped, and no red light was being emitted anymore.

Try restart your iPhone before connecting. It can solve many problems.

My own headphones won't work with the iPod?

I have a pair of Sony Psyc headphones [http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=1-3/qid=1136948303/ref=sr13/602-4413487-1679852?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin=B0007N55P0], and they're 3.5 mm stereo headphones, but only the right headphone works, and the left headphone has no sound at all.
This means that the iPod has a mono signal or that the headphones are not recieving the stereo signal.
Any way to fix this?

I feel stoopid!!! Yes, it does require a much more significant "push" than I was expecting. Thank you much for your help as well as yours Stedman1!!!

Headphone Jack and volume control

I have very sensitive headphones and the volume control on the MBP is a bit squirrelly: I plug in the headphones, use Fn+f11 to change the volume to my usual setting (just one tick), go to iTunes to play some tunes and then the loudness is jacked up to the middle setting (which is the setting I use when I use the headphone as a line out hooked up to my stereo). Suffice it to say, my ears are a bit mad at me right now.
Is this a known issue, and how does one post a SW bug to get Apple Support? I tired looking for a file a bug, but I couldn't find it.

Why should I come to grips with this? My Windows 7 install on this very MacBook Pro handles volume just fine. I can have my speakers at 50%. Plug in my headphones. Still at 50%, but not deafening.
This is obviously either a) by design or b) a bug. I'll be submitting it to Apple as b.
Many people actually complain about a LACK of volume when using their Macs under windows, dallen33.
The headphone port on the Mac is a "dumb" port. It can't determine the impedance and efficiency of whatever you happen to be plugging into it at the time. If it was "intelligent" it would probably require Apple specific headphones, which would have everyone up in arms about trade restrictions and the like. If it was configured to provide a muted maximum output level suitable for headphones that produce the maximum possible volume then there would be thousands with lower efficiency headphones, including some with very high quality ones, complaining that the sound was too quiet (just as some do about the Windows output level) !
Surely this stuff is pretty easy for people to sort out for themselves. If you have headphones that produce a high output level then turn down the volume slider in iTunes right down before you stick 'em in your ears and then gradually adjust the volume upwards until it is at the level you would like!! If you do this you will find that the volume starts at zero even if the system setting is at maximum.
Alternatively, buy yourselves some high quality, lower efficiency headphones.
Cheers
