Iphone 5 headset not working

Hello,
I am having some trouble with using headsets with an iPhone 5. As of about one week ago, the inline controls no longer function. For any of three different headsets, I can hear just fine, but the inline controls do not function: volume up down, pause, etc. I tried each headset (two third party and one Apple) with an iPad 3 and all work just fine. This is a new (Verizon) iPhone 5; there is no obvious debris or damage to the unit itself. I have made certain the plug is firmly placed in the socket. I have reset the phone (although admittedly not reset all settings or did a full wipe) and also fiddled with the volume limiter and other music settings without success.
Other than replacing the phone, any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you.

i have a iphone 5 same problem. i can connect 1 time then the next i have to go to setting and say forget this bluetooth device then put the bluetooth device back into discoverable mode then go back to the iphone and search and pair. I have to repeat this everytime i want to connect to this device. Then about 20 percent of the time i have to repeat this to stay connected. i am use to it by now, but with my other apple and other device i don't have any issues. only on the iphone 5.
fun fun.

Regular iphone headset not working

I bought this headset about six weeks ago. I was listening to music using my iphone headset this morning - it was fine when i last used it. As i was walking home just awhile ago i decided to listen to some music, but the right side of the earphone wasn't working. The left side is working just fine.
Does Apple warranty for the iphone also include the apple headset?

I have the same problem, adding that the headset does not work with the iPhone functions anymore. The problem is that I bought a separate pair in NY, in the Fifth Avenue Apple Store. But now I am in Brazil. The warranty is still good until october. How should I proceed to have the headset changed for a new one?

IPhone headset not working correctly on iPad

The playback controls on my Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic from my iPhone 4 don't seem to work on my iPad 3. Is thre a setting I am missing to activate that function. They worked on my original iPad and they work on my iPhone 4. Any ideas??

Yes, the plug is as far in as it can go. The sloping design of the case does expose part of the plug.

Hi there bananas321,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged! When I turn it on (only turns on while plugged into wall) it says it needs to be My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged

My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
If that doesn't work...
Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.

TS3694 I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

After updating my iphone 6 to ios 8.0.2, the iphone is not working at all!!

after updating my iphone 6 to ios 8.0.2, the iphone is not working at all!! the apple logo shows up for a few seconds. then the screen goes red !! after it restarts and it do the same!! please help.

Well, just for future reference, any time you do an iOS upgrade, it is a good idea to back up your device just prior to doing the download. You can back it up to iCloud or to iTunes. Personally, I prefer to back it up to iTunes, and then to do the download via iTunes as well. Doing a Wifi download can, by the very nature of the OTA environment, run into more issues than a hard-wired one via iTunes.
If it is just a version release (like 8.0.1, or 8.0.2), then I might download it via Wifi, since the content is not likely to be very large. But for any major new release (7 to 8, etc.) it is always a good idea to do it via the USB cable rather than OTA.
I would also suggest that you set up your device to do automatic iCloud backups. Whenever it is turned on (i.e., not manually powered off - it can be "asleep"), plugged into a power source, and connected to Wifi, it will do an automatic backup every 24 hours. Mine usually backs up at night.
But even with my iCloud backup in reserve, I still did an iTunes backup before I upgraded to iOS 8. I like having the extra security of that second backup to choose from, should I need it. Here is a support article comparing the two types of backup:

Sorry you lost your stuff. Hope then next update goes better for you!

while updating 4.0 version to 5 version system shows sim card is not valid. My iphone is not working .Please help me

I would imagine your iPhone was hacked to make it work on your local carrier.
Updating the iOs to 5.xx will lock it back to the original carrier .The carrier holding the lock are the only
entity able to authorise the unlock .You will have to contact them and see if they unlock and the terms the apply

Thank you for your help and time.

If you didn't back up the phone to iCloud or iTunes (on your computer) BEFORE attempting the update, the data will be lost.

sounds like your phone was hacked to work with your carrier. Now it is relocked to the rightful carrier. It cannot be reactivated without a SIM from that carrier.

Connecting my iphone to wall charger makes my iphone touch not work properly

I have a iphone 3g and a orignal apple wall charger when i connect my iphone to charger it makes my iphone touch not work properly, but it charges the phone properly.the data cable is also working properly. So can any one help me out here.thanks

Holy smokes, I thought I was losing my mind, but that's the exact same thing that's started happening to me since this whole 4.3.1 "upgrade" disaster started - hooking it up to the wall charger overnight, wake up in the morning and it's a brick requiring multiple attempts to restart.
It's also randomly and spontaneously crashing - it'll be on the table or couch beside me, I'll catch movement out of the corner of my eye and look over and see a silver apple.
