I cannot hear any music...help!

I've had my ipod for 1 1/2 years and suddenly I cannot hear any music. This happens no matter how I try to listen to my ipod. I have a USB connector for my car and my headphones. Neither work. I've reset my ipod, downloaded the newest software, still no sound. Everything else is working. Music plays because you can see it progress in the readout. Help!!

Have you tried different headphones?
Have you tried a restore?

I cannot hear ANY music on my iPhone

I cannot hear ANY music on my iPhone. I can make and receive phone calls even in speakerphone mode, but I cannot hear any of tracks that synced from iTunes, not even with the headphones. Is anybody having the same problem? Does anybody have any idea on how to fix it ? I do not want to reset the phone for fear of having to reactivate it. Is Apple aware of this critical problem ?

I can see the music toolbar moving, but cannot hear any music.

I can see the music toolbar moving, but cannot hear any music. My phone rings and clicks, so I know some sound works. Ever since I synced my
phone on my computer, I cannot hear my music or any videos.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Did you already reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, try to set it up as new device, explained here:

HT4993 I cannot hear any sounds when I try to play any music, please help.

I cannot hear any sounds when I try to play any music.
I don't even get an option to increase or lower the volume when trying to play any music on my iphone 4s

I meant "Anyone know how to fix this" - sorry. BTW, have powered off and back on - no change.

How can I change my original security questions? After changing my AppleID and password, I am not given an opportunity to change my security questions, which I cannot remember the answers to, so I cannot purchase any music.

Ipod nano 7th generation is playing but I cannot hear the music

I have a 16 gb ipod nano 7th generation. I've followed all the instructions in syncing and all seems fine except I cannot hear the music through the earbuds, even though the ipod shows it is playing. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks shielafromgresham

Hi shielafromgresham,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are not getting any sound from your headphones on your iPod nano, I suggest reading over the information in the following article. Along with the information in the Acoustics section of the article, make sure the headphone jack is pushed completely into the headphone jack.
iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
Acoustics
Follow these steps if there's no sound coming from your headphones.*
Verify that the headset is plugged in to the iPod .
Check the volume setting.
Try adjusting the volume by pressing the volume buttons.
Try another song or audio file.
Try another headset.
Reset iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo appear.
Issue not resolved
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.
Have a great day,
Joe

I cannot hear any sound from my ipad

I cannot hear any sound in my ipad, no music no vedios and even the keys sound!!!! I need to know what is the solution???

1. If you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
2. Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost but you will have to enter all of the device settings again.
3. If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

4. If you still have no sound at all - try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

Upgraded to 10.6.1.7 as prompted and now cannot see any music purchased since March 23, 2012. How can I get these back?

The error message says it cannot find the file but it exists as it was transferred to my ipod.
Thanks.

Ack! We don't need that much.
What you posted looks like the iTunes Library.xml file I will let you read about how iTunes works but not only is the .xml not your main library it is just the listing of tracks in your library and where the music files should be located. Your music is actually in media files (by the way, it is pointless to zip those as they are already compressed). Anyway, read these and you will see that your true library file (iTunes Library.itl) is only a small, but still important, part of a complete library.
What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
More on iTunes library files and what they do - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management
What are all those iTunes files? - http://www.macworld.com/article/139974/2009/04/itunes_files.html
Where are my iTunes files located? - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
As you can see, a library has several components, so "getting it back" depends upon what is missing, what it was you actually backed up in the end, if any of this music was purchased from the iTunes Store, etc.

I cannot hear any songs or movies from my laptop speakers - the headphone port works and a red light is showing? The output sound settings are showing as digital optical only? Any ideas :)

I used the headphones in the laptop for the first time yesterday and have had this problem ever since. Any ideas

The internal switch in the audio output port is stuck. Try inserting the earphone plug a few times. If no success, try jiggling a tooth pick inside in order to trip the switch.. If still no success, have the technicians at the Apple store genius bar do it for you.
Ciao.

I just got a new itouch and cannot load any music or media onto it using the newest version of itunes.

I just got a new itouch and cannot load any music or media onto it using the newest version of itunes. Every time I try the loading bar at the top says "finding purchased items" and then everything locks down and I have to force quite out of itunes. How do I make this stop???

Make sure the computer is authorized. From the iTunes menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

And try disabling anti virus software and turning off the Firewall, then try syncing with iTunes.
Disable antivirus software
Turn Windows Firewall on or off

When i plug my headphones into my ipod touch 5 i cant hear any music i tried 2 different headphones what should i do

when i plug my headphones into my IPOD touch 5 i cant hear any music i tried 2 different headphones what should i do

Hey Ehlam Managua, You have tried a different set of headphones, still no joy-- OK. (1st step in trouble shooting completed). Just to be clear the sound still works through the speaker, correct? If so, try quickly plugging / unplugging the headphone jack about 12 times, there is a tiny switch inside the port that may be stuck closed. If so the plugging / unplugging should free it up. If still no joy, have you tried turning your iPod off then turn it back on? If that doesn't work go into Setting>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still no joy, connect with your computer, make a full set of backups from this iPod to your computer, then Restore to Backup. If still won't work, Restore to New. If still nothing, could be dealing with a hardware issue. Contact your Apple store and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated.

What happen to my ipad? I can't hear any music without headphone

What happen to my ipad? I can't hear any music without headphone even volume button also not working if headphone is not join with ipad.

Hey there Glissen11,
It sounds like you are not getting audio when you connect your headphones to your iPod Classic. I would use the troubleshooting steps in the following article named:
iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
https://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
Step one is to reset your iPod, and here it is to get you started. There are additional troubleshooting steps if needed in the article as well:
To reset your iPod:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip:
If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling
