Iphone 3G music plays when headphones inserted

like the title says, music always automatically starts to play when I put headphones in. Is there any way to stop this.

I'm not sure it can be corrected in software. If, as I suspect, a transient spike when plugging the headphones in is causing the remote button signal line to register a single click, it's a hardware issue. If that's the case, about the only thing Apple could do is measure the time between the button signal and when the external speakers are cut off and if it's a small enough interval, stop playback. Of course, if you're too slow in plugging the headphones all the way in, the issue could still happen.

  • This Question is at least 2.5 years old.  But still an issue.  I have an early 2008 and mid 2010 13 inch macbook pro running iTunes 10.7.  Itunes on both machines doesn't recognize blank cds or allow me to import from a music cd when I insert it.

    iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
    If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.

  • My volume buttons won't work. Music plays when I get a phone call. That is the only time my speaker makes noise. My settings are how they should be, the top button is not on silent, I've shut my phone off many times, I've totally restored my phone. Help

  • Siri and music problems when headphones attached.

    sometimes when using siri with my headphones, siri may stop completely whilst in mid sentence or the phone may just lock itself. also when using headphones to skip music tracks, the music may jump by itself or pause itself, then when I click the button play for a few seconds and then pause again... can anyone help?

    Looks like this may be a design flaw with the headphone jack... https://discussions.apple.com/message/24167826#24167826
    This is very frustrating. I am having the same issue with my iPhone 5s. When I insert the apple original headphones into the jack and I am on a call, sometimes the call gets disconnected. When headphone jack is plugged in, Siri randomly pops up when the wire close to jack is even slightly moved. When I am watching an iTunesU video (with headphones on) the video sometimes continuously starts skipping 15s as if the 15s forward jump button is being repeatedly pressed. Apple, please fix this!!!

  • IPod on iPhone 4 starts playing when switching between apps

    My iPhone 4's iPod starts playing when I switch between apps, it goes on and off

    Not sure if this is the deal or not, when I click on my ipod app it's playing a song, I can't here any music but the pause button is showing, is it playing and running down the battery.. BTW I never seem to have earphones around to see if it's playing, however I have sync in my car and it is playing when I switch to aux..
    Thanks for any help and I hope I'm not stepping on your positing. sorry if I am..

  • Speakers only play when headphones are plugged in.

    My internal speakers only play when the headphones are plugged in. (System preferences-Sound tells me I'm using Internal Speakers, audio port for sound input).  When I remove the headphones, the red light in the jack goes on and the computer says I'm using Digital Out ("The selected device has no output controls.)
    I have read many community responses, most saying that the switch inside the headphone jack hasn't engaged, that I should fiddle with it using a paperclip/bobbypin/toothpick or just plug-in and unplug headphones repeatedly.  I have repeatedly both of these to no avail.  When fiddling, I don't really know which bump inside there is the switch, I've played with them all. 
    No, it's not dirty, I've blowin air, vaccuumed, dusted. Same problem.
    I do use my speakers often for work and pleasure, go between different external speakers and a projector.
    It seems that the computer has things backwards- headphones unplugged is pluged and vice versa.
    Any suggestions or clear guidance as to what I should be fiddling with when I stick a bobby pin in there?  No need to refer me to old posts, I've read them.
    Thanks in advance,

    If your phone is still under warranty, Apple will service your phone for free.
    Did you check the headphone port for any kind of debris or lint?
    Did you already try another set of headphones? Are you suing the headphones that came with the phone?
    Is the headphone jack plugged in fully into the headphone port?

  • Itunes does not start playing when I insert a cd

    iMac won't let me sellect iTunes in the CDs & DVDs preferences section, under the "when you insert a music CD" - open iTunes is grayed out.

    Hello, try this...
    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.digihub.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • .mov from iPhone won't play when downloaded using mail

    And when my daughter sends me movies from her iPhone. Some play, some don't when downloaded using Apple Mail. They all play when downloaded using Gmail. They all play within the mail App on my iPad.
    When viewing the information on these files in Finder, the difference seems to be that in the ones that do play, a codec appears likeTin the image:

    Scuba Steve,
    Sorry, I did click on varkgirl's link instead of yours at first. But clicking on your link, I think I know what you problem is. I think that you problem is that the footer on your page is obscuring the movie controller bar and not letting you click on it. I've been trying to tell people on this forum off and on to pay attention to the values in the Inspector Page tab. What you need to do first is to go under the View menu and select "Show Layout" so you can see what is happening. Now go to the Inspector and click on the Page tab. You will see a set of values that define your page dimensions. What you need to do is to adjust the value for Content Height so that it actually encompasses all of your page content. The space for page content actually dynamically resizes things as you drag them down the page, but this value never changes from the default. It has always been my feeling that this leads to problems in the rendering of pages (depending on browser) because it gives the browser some leeway in how it renders the footer-to-body transition. This can lead to shifting of images up the page or something like you have, which is inadvertant obscuring of elements by the footer element.
    So adjust the Content Height to something like 1100. You should see the footer bar in the layout move down. Now fine adjust it so that it is closer to the bottom of your QT movie without obscuring the controller bar. Now republish. I think that you will see that you controller bar now works. BTW. Double clicking on the movie frame will always work as play/pause, too, as you have found.
    Let me know if this solves your problem.

  • After editing slideshow html, music plays when photos are selected normaly

    I followed instructions on how to add music to a slideshow by editing the html, and it worked great. The problem is.. when a photo on the page is selected without starting the slideshow the music starts.
    What has to be changed in the code to make it so the music only plays when the slideshow is started.
    Thanks

    What do you see if you try to edit one of those photos?  Do you see this in the window?
    Click to view full size
    As a first attempt at a fix make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Have a new iphone 5S and music won't play when headphones are plugged in. Restored the phone and tried again without restoring my info.  Any ideas on apps that cause this?

    I just purchased a new iphone 5s and music would not play on it with headphones plugged in.  They replaced the phone for me but it continued to do this.  So I restored the phone and tried to play music on youtube before I restored all my settings and apps....Any suggestions on common apps that may cause this?

    We have tried 3 different brands of headphones, including the apple set and auxiliary audio cord.
    Also, music works fine before I load all my apps, hence why I ask if anyone knows about any kind of certain apps causing this.

  • Iphone 4G music plays through bluetooth, but only one speaker works in my car when i play it, why is that?

  • I can't hear the music playing when I have my headphones plugged in and I do not know why. And my headphones aren't broken. What is wrong?

    For some reason I cannot hear music when I plug in my headphone on my ipad, but headphines are not broken.

    Have you very used headphones or earbuds with an iPad before? It really takes quite a firm push to seat the earphones into the jack, you do have to give it a good push.

  • Help Needed: VisionM 30GB Freezes when headphones inserted

    Hi all,
