Iphone4s headphone jack broken, is there an adapter to listen to music through charger port?

My IPhone 4S headphone jack no longer works. It's one month out of warranty. It's the second phone that this has happened with. Is there an adapter available to let me use charger jack to listen to music?

all these would work

  • Is there a way to play your music through your laptop and the apple tv?

    Is there a way to play your music through your laptop AND the apple tv? I use my apple TV with screen sharing, but then there is no more sounds coming from my laptop. Is there a way to do this?

    on you laptop you will open itunes. up next to the play button you will see the little airplay symbol, you need to click that, press Apple TV, then select some music.

  • Headphone jack broken off inside Macbook--HELP!

    My dad recently gave me his MacBook Pro, only problem is the audio is completely broken. This occurred when the computer was on the bed with headphones were plugged into the headphone port, and the dog jumped on the headphone jack, breaking it off inside of the computer.... The piece is totally irretrievable; it's broken off far inside of the headphone port. My father contacted the Apple store and I contacted Mac Mall, and they both said the same thing--it will have to be taken apart, and could cost up to $900 to fix!!!
    This is a huge expense that I would like to avoid if possible..... my question is, is there any way to get around this problem? Is there any way I can get audio without having the computer taken apart to get the broken headphone piece out? Are there perhaps external speakers that work through the USB port? Or is there a way to change the settings so the computer doesn't acknowledge that there is something plugged in the headphone port? I really don't know! I'm totally desperate. Anything helps. Thanks!

    Yes, easy way around it.
    look up a JEWELRY REPAIR place, usually they charge $30 or $40
    they drill into the back of the jack, then insert a mini jewelers screw and yank it out.   Ive done it myself for a customer long ago.
    Many jewelry repair people do such things.

  • Headphone jack BROKEN

    Hey all,
    I have one question, one major problem,
    i Have a 5th generation video Ipod (late 2006), with a broken headphone jack. its broken because only my music comes out of the left headphone/speaker. i know its not my headphones because i have pluged it to my come speakers, and various headphones that all work. i can get sound to come out of the right head phone speak some times if i push and hold back the headphones jack while its plugged in. other than that i can't get any sound out at all. If someone could point me in the direction to contact Apple directly or could offer up solutions or any help that would be great.
    Thank you

    well i figured there would be some kina charge, however....
    unfortuenly idk bout the warrenty i looked it up, and it was non-sense to me. i beilieve it ment something like i have 8 months on it or something, ill look it up again. i just hope it is, cause im guessing if it isnt, i'll have to tell my parents...(dun dun dun....) ok ill try to remeber to call em tomarrow lol. idk i like this kina answer, (have a thought bout corp. that they dont really care bout you, just the money.) by the way where you find that number? and WHY CANT APPLE BEE EASIER TO CONTACT VIA EMAIL or something?
    thanz philly for helping.
    if something comes up, ill probly ask you since it looks like you know what your talking bout.

  • Headphone jack broken in socket - problem solved.

    HI
      I've recently removed a broken headphone  jack from an ipod touch and as there appears to be a number of people to whom this has happened i thought i'd share how i did it.
    Firstly the more of the plug you can see the better.
    Secondly  can you see any plastic ? Yes ....then great.
    Next find a thin needle and a pair of pliers
    what i did was heat the needle until it was red hot  over a gas ring    
    then push the end of the  hot needle   into the plastic of the plug  about 1-2 mm
    hold it steady and blow to cool it down. Hopefully the plug will now be attached to the needle.
    Then lifted the plug out          as you can see there was precious little left so the more plastic you can seee the better.    
    I have never heard of this method  being used  so you heard it here first ....

    After trying a load of other methods (I dare not try superglue) - I followed vespuccio's advice to the letter and it worked a treat - just when I was on the point of giving up - Bingo!
    You do have to take care when using the hot needle, but I couldn't believe it when it worked on my second attempt.
    What a brilliant solution!  Thank you so much for posting this you made mine and my daughter's Christmas so much better.

  • All headphones give distorted, crackly sound. Sometimes no sound. Headphone jack broken? Apple expresslane support giving a "generic error" message whenever I try to send in for service...

    As in the title. For a while the headphone jack is occasionally crackly when the jack moves around in the port. It finally died today when I plugged it in and all the audio is heavily distorted and sometimes cuts out completely. Whenever I try to set up a service with Apple I keep getting this error message:
    We're sorry, but we are unable to complete your request at this time.
    Please try again in a few minutes or start over now.
    I can't get through to the Irish support phone number either, it keeps saying number not recognised. Is there any other way I can send my iphone in for service (closest genius bar is 500km away...)

    ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
    ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
    Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
    On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
    Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
    As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
    Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
    I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

  • Does the built-in DAC on my 2007 mid yr iMac support 96/24 audio as it supplies signal to the headphone jack? (is there a reason to export audio via optical jack then to an external DAC?

    does the built-in DAC on my 2007 mid yr iMac support 96/24 audio as it supplies signal to the headphone jack?  If so, is there a reason to export audio via optical jack then to an external DAC then to stereo?

    My suggestion to work around this problem would be to hook up an Airport Express. The AE also has an optical out the same as your iMac. As long as your wireless connection is robust enough you should be able to stream from your iMac to your AE and then have the optical cable connect between your AE and your DAC, which then connects to your Integrated Amp/Receiver/Pre-Amp (depending on your system configuration).
    I assume because you are using the optical out and connecting to an external DAC that you are looking for a high level of Audio quality ?

  • Headphone jack broken in port; no sound

    I own a 13" MBP (May 2010) running Mac OSX [Snow Leopard, updated regularly - two clean installs since issue occurred]. In December, I was trying to capture audio for a presentation through a dated/borrowed microphone. The microphone's jack broke off inside of my Macbook. Since then, I have no longer been able to output audio through my port.
    CheatSheet of facts
    40% Of the port is blocked by the tip of a headphone/microphone/3.5mm cable.
    Blockage is not removable
    Tweezers, Toothpick with rubber cement, superglue, dentist pick
    Performed by myself AND day supervisor at a Apple Store
    Applecare is expired
    Mac OSX doesn't produce sound - in fact all controls are disabled. Audio options are greyed out on my toolbar, no controls available in Applications/Audio MIDI Configuration.
    I have reinstalled Mac OS 2 times
    Hard drive crashed, physical defect recognized and rectified by a AppleCare Tech
    Windows 7 Ultimate (64) installed through Bootcamp - sound is produced when in Windows
    Willing to write some AppleScript to disable the port, if someone can give me some help
    TL;DR - Broke a 3.5mm jack in my headphone port on my MBP; Sound is no longer produced under MacOSX, but does occur in Windows 7, loaded through Bootcamp.

    So open or have someone open the Macbook and remove the broken piece from the headphone jack. > Mac Repair - iFixit
    In all of my 5 years here, I have never seen a script or hack around that part of OS X

  • Pavilion g6 headphone jack broken?

    I have recently had the headphone port of my Pavilion g6 mess up and play only one side sometimes and one day I got really frustrated and broke the 3.5mm plug off in it but managed to get it out. It now only ditributes right side music or right channel. Is it broken or what? If so, where can I buy a replacement jack and get it installed or do I have to send it to HP to have them relplace it? Does this require the purchase of a new motherboard, or maybe even a new computer? Thanks ahead of time and any help is greatly appreciated!!

    Hi WyredPg6, welcome to the HP Forums. It appears as though the headphone jack is actually part of the system board. To replace the jack, is to replace the entire system board.
    I referred to page 18 on this : HP Pavilion G6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide
    It shows the replaceable parts, and #10 is the system board, you will notice the connectors are not denoted with replacement parts.
    It might be more inexpensive for you to purchase a USB Sound Card. You could disable the onboard sound, and use external headphones/speakers.
    If that isn't an option for you, you can find compatible system board part numbers starting on Page 71. These can be used on: HP Part Surfer
    I hope this helps.

  • Headphone jack broken, using dock connector instead?

    So after dropping my iPod the other day the headphone jack is acting a little funky, I have to twist and fiddle with the headphones a little bit to get the sound to play in both ears nicely (It's not the headphones as I've tried with several pairs).
    Since my warranty has expired I was hoping to use a dock connector I believe its called then connected to my headphones.
    My questions are
    1) Will this avoid the sound issue I'm having since I ASSUME it's an issue with just the headphone jack.
    2)I'm looking at these two products
    http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-35508-iPod-Compatible-Connector/dp/B000J022G6
    http://www.yourusbcable.com/product/Ipod%20Dock%20Connector
    which will then need another thing to connect to my headphones, can anyone think of a better way of or product for doing this?

    I am also having problems with my headphone jack. if i can get best buy to validate my 2 yr warranty i can exchange, but in the meantime i ordered some bluetooth headphones. i bought these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/595037-REG/SonyDRBT100CX_BLU_DR_BT100CX_Bluetooth_WirelessStereo.html

  • Is my headphone jack broken?

    I was just listening to music when I dropped my iphone 4s on to my floor. (It has an otterbox on it). After I picked it up, nothing would play through the headphones. I tried rebooting it, cleaning the headphone jack and I'm going to try to restore it. If this doesnt work any suggestions?

    I just restored my iphone and nothing changed. And I forgot to mention that it's still under warranty by verizon. So anyway, is my only option now to just get a new phone?

  • Ipod classic headphone jack broken

    Hi all,
    Right, basically I am pretty sure my headphone jack is buggered. It only plays out of one ear on 3 different working sets of headphones. If i lift it up at a certain point I can get sound in both ears but thats it. Anyway, I am aware this needs replacing, however should I go with the apple store or go to a local independant place to get it fixed. I've researched it and it is not a big job to do, and relatively cheap. I'm just concerned that apple will grossly overcharge me for a simple repair. Anyone know a rough price for it?
    Thanks!

    Try resetting your SMC controller:

  • Is there any adapter to make my AC Magsafe charger into a USB so I can use my portable battery?

    I have a regular Magsafe charger to charge my MacBook Air. I am looking for an adapter that my AC can plug into to make it a USB to be able to charge my MacBook when a plug is not around.

    I understand that I can not charge via USB. What I am saying...is there an adapter I cant put on my AC cord that would turn it into a USB therefore being able to plug into portable battery. So in other words the big white box that has a removeable prong (you plug into wall) plug into adapter that turns that into a USB. Kind of like the chargers the iPhones currently come with except reversed.

    it could be just a bad contact
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk

  • Is there any way to listen to music WITHOUT using the speakerphone or headphones?

    I listen to streaming talk radio in my car, I usually have drive to and walk in and out of several office buildings throughout my day. I would like to be able to just put my BB up to my ear and pretend like I am listening to someone talk on the phone, when I'm really listening to the radio. Is there any way to do this? I hate having to fumble around with headsets every time I stop, and obviously I cant walk through a office building with the loud speakerphone/built in speaker blasting.

    Sure there is.
