If Apple EarPods just randomly decided to break into 2 pieces and get stuck in the headphone jack, will Apple replace or repair the iPad for free?

After I was done listening to some music, I of course puller out the EarPods from the headphone jack. But then I noticed how the tip broke into 2, so half of the tip is stuck in the headphone jack. Since they were Apple EarPods, and I didn't inflict any damage to them, would I receive a free repair or replacement on my iPad?

Are you still under warranty? You're going to have a tough time convincing them it wasn't your fault they broke, I predict. In any case, someone else had a good idea on one of these types of threads: take it to an electronics shop as they probably deal with this situation quite frequently.

  • I just bought a mini 10-18-13 and a new one is out? Will apple exchange them?

    Does apple have an exchange program I got my iPad mini on 10-18 13 and they are releasing a new one in a week?

    It is not certain when Apple will release new iPads, though the probability of new models being announced tomorrow, the 22nd, is high. If you purchased your iPad from Apple themselves, you have fourteen calendar days to return it. If you purchased from a dealer, that dealer's return policy if any would apply.

  • Hello i own a 4th generation ipod touch and the headphone jack will not send any sound to my earbuds but, the speaker system works fine will the apple techs fix this if i bought this from best buy or should i go to best buy to recieve a new one?

    I bought this at best buy so should i go to the apple store to see if some techs should fix this or try to get a new one from best buy i bought this around the begining of april and please NO FIX IT YOURSELVES!! i am a clumsy 14 year old also, would having the headset plugged in and wrapping the wire around the ipod be bad for it because i think this could have been the cause thank you and any help would be greatly apreciated

    It was not in a pouch i just simply wrap it around the ipod, thankfully my mom and i will be going to apple tommorow. I'm seriously never going to go to best buy ever again, i don't trust them because ive bought a faulty ipod nano from them so i'm going to try to avoid this store thanks lllaaass

  • My earpods broke, and half of the silver part of the earpods got stuck in the headphone jack of my MacBook Pro.  Someone help me please!!!!!

    The end part of the earpods broke off, and now part of it is in the headphone jack of my MacBook Pro. The piece of the earpod in the headphone jack is too small and short to just grab it with my finger.  I need help please!!!! Thank you to whoever responds.

    There is no good way to get it out.
    I have successfully used a dental pick kind of tool to extract one. It took a great amount of fiddling, so you must be in a very patient mood.
    Others suggest the risky use of a blob of crazy glue to cement a "puller" onto the broken end. The risk, of course, is that if you get any on the jack, you are doomed.
    The guys at the genius Bar will sometimes try to get them out. No charge.

  • Myself and my partner had a iphones. Since the recent software update he now randomly receives texts from my contacts and also when im sending texts. Is this because we share the same apple id. This didnt happen before the software update.

    myself and my partner had a iphones. Since the recent software update he now randomly receives texts from my contacts and also when im sending texts. Is this because we share the same apple id. This didnt happen before the software update.

    You can both share the same Apple ID for purchases but i suggest one of you use another email for the use of iMessage, Facetime etc.
    It is easy to do, the easiest way is to set up an iCloud email directly from your iPhone. Once set up one of you will use this for iCloud services but both still use the existing Apple ID to make purchases.

    Hi,
    Try resetting your iPod:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430. 
    If that doesn't work, try restoring it:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414. 
    If all else fails, you will have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. 
    Hope this helps!

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

    I cannot find the AirPlay icon for the life of me. I have iOS 7.0.2 on my iPad Mini. Connected to my WiFi network just fine. I swipe up to get to the control center badges and all I see is the AirDrop icon. Trying to disable mirroring on ipad for Netflix streaming and don't know what to do. Any luck out there?

    If you last used an Apple TV to mirror your device and have updated to the newest Apple TV software, go into settings and turn airplay back on. The icon should then appear on your iPad mini when you swipe up allowing you to disable it for Netflix. After updating my Apple TV software for some reason it turned airplay off.

  • My iMac keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

    Running 10.6.8 on Intel dual core iMac, it keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

    My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

    Using the 5th generation iPod. Purchased it a few months ago before the new one was launched. Yes the workout randomly ends when I am no where near the time or distance I have programmed in. I keep tried to restart the workout and the same thing keeps happening over and over again. I figured it may have been the headphones but I have even tried holding the headphone connection in place, and different headphones as well and it continues to happen.
