IPhone 3G no longer has sound and won't let me play any music/videos

The other day a friend of mine tried calling me and when I went to answer I couldn't hear her. I saw that she left a voicemail and when I went to play it, the play but switches from pause back to play very quickly, which won't let the message play. This is also happening when I try to play music or watch videos. I've tried various things, like changing volume settings, plugging in and out headphone jacks, and rebooting the phone many times. Nothing seems to be working. I don't think it's a sound issue since the phone won't let me run apps that require sound. Does anyone know what is going on?

try syncing to itunes.

HT5622 iPhone is stuck on old ID and won't let me change the ID to get into Cloud segment of Settings. Need to get this straight so I can backup to Cloud before updating to new System

iPhone is stuck on old ID and won't let me change the ID in settings to get into Cloud. Want to sync phone to Cloud before updating the Systems. No such problem on other phone or 2 iPads linked to account. Help!

Thanks Bob,
That was just a typo.
I have three accounts set up in Mail, one of which, apart my the username which is my son's, has exactly the same settings as the one that isn't working and remember it's affecting all my devices.
I would feel happier even if I could create a fourth account on my MacBook Pro using what I know to be the correct password for the server but when I try it keeps defaulting to imap type, I don't get an option for Pop which is what I need.
Oh Bum.

Hi,
Shut down and reboot your iOS (press and hold the wake/sleep button and when prompted, slide to poweroff and then press and hold the wake/sleep button to reboot).
Go look what had happen with your apps. Maybe it's ok. If not, tap and hold its icon and then tap the X to delete it from your iOS device and redownload it from the app store (no charge for that).
Juste to let you know, your description state iPad2 but you are in the forum for iPod.

Laptop won't let me play any video or change the brightness of the screen at all.

I got this new Laptop a few months ago and it has just recently started to play up slightly and not let me change my brightness settings at all and now it won't let me play any videos.

I got a solution
First check out your performance settings and if u dont know where to find it just right click on my computer and enter to propreties then click on performance and tools, then if the gamming and desktop aero system are 1.0 then you have three solutions.
1) Install a new windows
2) check out your computer driver and install tge latest version
3) or simply you can download DRIVER PAC SOLUTION and install it then after installation is done you might wanna restart the system and check performance again then it should desplay NEW HARDWARE DETECT REFRESH NOW then click on refreah and the rating is gonna go up from1.0.to higher than 4.0.

My Ipod Touch keeps going back to main screen and won't let me play games, read my ebook, etc.

My IPOD Touch was working great until about 2 weeks ago. Now when I try to play a game, read an ebook, etc. it automatically goes back to the screen showing all my apps and won't let me stay and use the app I have selected. Is there anything I can do?

Try a hard reset of the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Itunes won't let me add any more videos for my ipod classic

Hi
I got a ipod classic (80gb) for christmas and I have now added 3.2 hours of video onto itunes which has been synced to my Ipod however itunes will now not let me add any more videos -even though I have added no music files on it as yet , could it be because all the videos I have downloaded myself and converted to mp4 via a internet program? could anybody help as my ipod is supose to play up to 100 hours of video files.
Thanks for everyones help

What is the file suffix of the video files you are trying to add to iTunes? What application did you use to create them?

My iPhone 4s no longer has sound for any of the applications but it does have sound for phone functions. Where is the setting for app sound? I have gone to the multitask screen and the volume bar is empty.

I recently found my phone outside in light rain (it had been there about 20 minutes). It had some glitches at first, however after letting it rest overnight it seemed to mostly recover. The one problem I am having is that I no longer have sound for any of my applications. I do have sound for phone fuctions, and I am able to use the speaker for phone functions.
When I am in my applications, including music/videos, the only way I can hear is if I use my earbuds. I am able to make a video and it will record sound just fine.
When I go to the multitask screen, the volume bar is empty and I cannot adjust it using the side buttons (even though in settings I have that feature activated). I completely reset all of my settings tonight and that did not make a difference.
Is there a setting I am missing, or am I just SOL? I am trying to avoid having to get a whole new phone but it is very frustrating to not have sound with my applications.

My Iphone 4s says connected to TV and will not let me watch any videos on Safari, and only plays sound through the device. I have not messed with the settings, and have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It's update is IOS 6.1.3

I have an Iphone 4S and It won't let me watch videos on my safari, which I do everyday. It says that I am connectef to a tv, yet I have not connected it to a tv during the entire time i've owned this product. I have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It plays the sound through the device, but it will not play the video at all. the update is IOS 6.1.3

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

4.2gigs on my Zen micro and won't let me put any more

I have put 4.2 gigs worth of mp3s on my Zen Micro but when I try to add any more I am informed that the destination dri've is full! Why?
I am using the playsforall firmware etc etc so I can drag and drop directly from my hard dri've.
Is this the reason? Is there any way I can get my full 5 gigs of space? I don't want any of the other features on the zen, I don't want to record audio etc etc, just put my mp3s on there. Also How can I tell how much space on my zen has actually been used? I tried right click on the device -> properties but it doesn't tell me.
suggestions?

You might want to try a disk cleanup, and format is also available from Rescue Mode. To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro, remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position, reinsert the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.
Note that the tracks will take up more space than their collecti've size, which is the nature of disk systems. But I'm not sure what space they will take up, and the cluster size on the Creative player.

TS3297 When I try to buy a song from iTunes it says something about security questions and when I type them in it says they are not valid and won't let me download the music?!

iTunes Store is not letting me purchase any songs. When I download them it says something about security questions and when I type them in it says they are incorrect when they are! Hiw can I download song?

Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; in the case of forgotten answers, this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.
