My ipod touch only plays through the headphones

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.

  • TS1382 why does my ipod only play through one headphone?

    i tried other headphones although no matter what kind of headphones i use, the left headphone will only play. anyone know why?

    If none of the 5 R's also help resolve this problem, it's likely hardware related with the headphone jack meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party service.

  • My ipod wont play music solely through the ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and quietly through earphones. Is this fixable??

    My ipod wont play music solely through ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and the earphones together. Is this able to be fixed??

    I am also experiencing some problems with the new software version, I bought the Belkin TuneBase for my car 25 days ago it had been working fine since I upgraded my Ipod 2 days ago, you know that sometimes if you don't get good reception you can change to a diferent preseted station on this Belkin Transmitter but since this Ipod upgrade I can't change to a diferent station and also i can't disconect it like before because before it said you were ok to disconect and I'm afraid to return because perhaps afterall is a software problem.

  • How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so it just plays through the headphones?

    How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so that it just plays through the headphones?

    First make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphones plug can still be seen.
    If that's not the issue, try a hard reset of the Nano.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • My Ipod only plays through its onboard speaker i want to use my headphones again help!!

    My IPod Nano only plays through it speaker even when the headphones are plugged in.What can I do to fix this problem?

    The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
    If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.

  • Ipod touch only plays through left headphone/speaker

    my ipod touch first gen recently started only working through my left headphone, at first i thought it was the headphones but then i tried it with numerous other headphones and speakers etc and it still only plays through one.
    I've reset, restored the ipod and tried everything if any one can help it would be greatly appreciated.

    What happens if my itouch is 2 months out of warranty? I don't think it's reasonable to ask me to purchase a new one for a headphone jack problem. I expect a 300.00 piece of electronics to last more than 14 months, call me crazy. Does anyone have a suggestion other than replace? The Apple Store in Orlando told me it would cost about the same as a new one to fix it. Please help!

  • How can I get my iPod to play through the 30 pin connector?

    I bought an 30 pin to 8 pin adapter. I plugged it into my iPod and plugged it into the sound system (new Yamaha MCR -049). The scene says "unknown iPod" and will not play music (it comtinues to play through the iPod's speaker) and it does not indicate that the iPod is charging. What am I doing wrong?

    Is a lightning adapter the same as 8 pin ? The manufacurer says this stereo says this only works with iPod 5 (mine is) and the only way to connect is an adapter. I bought an after market brand instead of Apple branded.  I think I have a bad adapter. I'll buy a 39 pin to lightning adapter. I think that's the only way I can figure put if the dock works.

  • Does the iphone 4 play stereo or mono sound? mines seems to always play through the headphones in mono :/

  • Why would the audio play through the headphones but not the speakers?

    I am working on an app that has embedded video. The audio works fine through my speakers and headphones as it does for some of my coworkers, but I also have other coworkers who get audio through the headphones but not the speakers. It's a variety of devices, 4, 4S, and 5. Any thoughts?

    If you are working on developing an app perhaps you should try the developers forum.

  • IPod only plays through one earphone.

    Hi.
    I have a 5th gen iPod video 30gb.
    I've had it for years, but recently it has started to only play music through the left earphone.
    I've checked that the earphones work and that my songs are stereo instead of mono.
    The most interesting thing is that when I plug it into my car's head unit by the dock connector at the bottom, it still only plays music through the left speakers of my car, so it can't just be an issue with the headphone jack, surely?
    I imagine that there could possibly be an incorrectly set fader setting somewhere, but I can't seem to find where that would be.
    If anybody has any ideas on how to resolve this issue, I'd be much obliged.
    Thanks.

    It could be signs of dying audiochip on the iPod's motherboard, which is/was pretty common for the 5G iPod Video generation. Either way, it sounds like you need to have the iPod serviced or replaced.

  • Does anyone know how to get the headphones off my ringer. I have no headphones attached but my phone only rings through the headphone outlet? Thanks?

    Anybody know how to get my phone from ringing through the head set outlet? There are no headphones attached to the phone and when I try to adjust volume it comes up ringer(headphones). Any help would be great!

    I just had this problen after a rain storm and read to take a deep ( or several) deep breaths in from the headphone jack to dry it out.  This was the only thing that worked for me!  Read of sveral otheres doing this as well.  It took several deep, long breaths in before it worked.

  • Is there any way to keep the music playing through the headphones connected through the headphone jack, while also playing the music through a bluetooth device, such as speakers - so the audio is coming out of both devices simultaneously?

    When I connect my bluetooth speakers, the sound stops coming out of the headphones (connected via the hardwire jack), and then comes back when I turn off the bluetooth speakers. I would like to have audio coming out of both...
    Anyone?

    Thanks Kiwi. It doesn't make sense to me though, as that would seem to be only a simple change in the operating system, not a hardware 'necessity'.

  • My music only plays through the right earbud

  • My MacBook Pro internal speakers sound like they are playing through the headphone jack, why is this? How can I fix it?

    Periodically, the sound from my MacBook Pro speakers cuts out to where it sounds as if I am just blasting music through a pair of headphones.  The start up sounds and even some normal sounds coming from my computer are at the regular balanced speaker level.  I sometimes use external speakers and have not had this problem with them.  This has been happening more and more lately, and for longer periods of time. I'm running 10.7.5
