iPod 4th gen unable to play music from internal speaker but can with headphones
Can anyone help
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

IPhone 4S won't play music from internal speaker
My iPhone 4S is having an issue with the internal speaker. Originally, I was able to play music from iTunes, Pandora, videos, etc. w/out having headphones or an external speaker system connected to the audio input. Now, the phone isn't playing back sound from the internal speaker, unless I have headphones/speaker connected. Keyboard clicks and text message alerts are also not coming through, even though that option is turned on. The Ring/Silent button is on, the volume is on high, and I've also restarted the phone a few times. The only way I've got the internal speaker to play w/out having an external speaker system connected to the audio input is if I test different ringers; then it will playback, but not for any other audio format (videos, songs, keyboard clicks, etc.)
Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I'm out of ideas...Thank you!!iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
It used to be part of the iLife suite of applications.
iWeb has no knowledge of the internal speaker on your iPhone.
You may want to ask in the right forum. -
Ipod 4th gen Win XP needs a mass storage driver but can't find one
Hi Guys,
Just got a new PC, Ipod Was fine on my old one. However under Win XP, Ipod update and Itunes all installed correctly, but XP keeps asking for a MAss Storage driver. Tried alsorts of things including reinstallation of all iPod Software, but still as soon as I plug in my iPod, XP detects new hardware and asks for driver. ITunes doesn't detect iPod, but will happily play songs in my Library.
Help.
Maybe I need an idriver or an iXP operating system
Cheers
Andy.Its a new PC, so the install was from the original XP CD, then installed iPod and iTunes Software. I assumed the drivers where in the iPod Disc and not from the XP disc. I'll try the XP Cd.
Thanks
Andy. -

i got new speaker system and i plug ipod in and try to play music and it wont but it will charge. How do i fix
- Make sure that the iPod is fully seated in the dock.
- Does the manufacturer of the dock say it will work with your specific model iPod touch and its iOS? Not all dock work with all models and iOSs. Users have reported that when the updated the iOS on their iPod and broke compatibility. -

IPod 4th Gen not updating "played" status.
Hi, recently I'm having a problem with my Ipod touch 4th Gen. It works fine, plays music and videos normally, but it does not update the "last played" status, nor "last played date". This is a problem because I sync my videos based on "most recent not played", and I have some smartlists that make use of that statur or date too.
This happened once before I upgraded from iOS 5 to Six, but apparently was corrected; however, since I upgraded to iOS 6, none of my played items is being updated. Could it be because of the iOS upgrading, or maybe there is something else I'm missing?iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
It will not show up in Finder/Spotlight search -
Hi, I HATE to ask for help with this, but I HAVE looked everywhere and Google searched different wordings and have not found anything similar nor a solution to my problem! My good old iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, in any house, but when I connect it to my brand new ASUS laptop that has Windows-8 and 3.0 USB ports using the charging/data cable, the charging process just keeps "blinking" BOTH the iPod and the laptop and it will not connect to ITunes and I get "A Device is Detected" message that keeps popping up and going away over and over right above the Windows desktop toolbar. When I go to control panel and select "Devices" it does show the iPod, but for only a split second and than it disappears, but than it comes back again for a split second and than it disappears again and just keeps doing that over and over and over! I have tried resetting the iPod while it is plugged into the laptop by holding the power and menu buttons, that did no good. I also tried uninstalling iTunes and any other Apple stuff listed and reinstalling it all, that did NOT work! The iPod, the laptop and iTunes ARE all fully updated! I AM using a brand new charging/data cable that I just opened up an hour ago (I've learned to keep a few brand new ones around at all times since these piece of garbage rip-off cables hardly last a week, even when you baby them!). I also tried a few old cables, they all do the same thing! I would like to get this piece of junk to connect to my new laptop, even if only once, so that I can change/delete some songs and transfer a few dozen photos,since I haven't been able to do any of that stuff since my old laptop (that NEVER had any problems connecting) died way back in May! lol. I hope somebody knows a fix or solution! Thank You!
Try on another computer to help determine if iPod or computer problem.

Brand new ipod touch (4th gen) no longer plays music. is there a way to fix it by myself?
I just bought the 4th gen ipod touch on tuesday. I downloaded some music from my brothers itunes account and purchased songs thru the ipod itself as well. I also have downloaded a few free apps as well. tuesday and wednesday morning the ipod worked perfectly fine, however last night i was listening to music and playing the free solitaire app i got and it would play a few songs then stop. id restart the song, it would play a few and then stop. finally i stopped playing solitaire thinking you cant play a game and listen to music (im new to ipods and mp3s so i have no idea how to work it). Now, my ipod works with everything but music. When i click music it is frozen on a black screen whenever i try to do anything in music and no music plays. Is there a quick fix or do i need to take it back to bestbuy where I got it?
Try:
- A reset. Nothing will be lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next restore from backup va iTunes
- Then restore to factory defaults/new iPod. For how to restore see:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software -
Yah so i play music and it stops like in a middle of a song and annoys me just upgraded to iOS5 and didnt happen until i upgraded?
Try restarting your iPod first.
-Turn it completely off by "Slide to power off"
-Then turn it back on and see if it still does it -
Why can't I play music from my speaker?
I am trying to fix my friends iPod 3G.
Here is a breakdown of the problem. And I'm not sure when he started having this problem. It may, or may not, have anything todo with updating to ios 5.0.
So, going to 'clock' and setting an alarm, the speaker works fine. Even when the alarm goes off when the time is right.
Occasionally the unlock gesture will produce a sound from the internal speaker.
When pushing the volume keys nothing appears onscreen. But, when headphones are present all sounds are made through them, and the volume keys bring up the onscreen feedback guage that also says 'Headphones'.
I have plugged the iPod into a stereo with a dock, and unplugged it while it was playing. That causes an otherwise unpresent volume slider to come up. And if I press play while the slider is still on the screen, music will play. But for only about 2 seconds, and then the slider dissapears and the music pauses. Leaving me unable to restart it unless I plug it back into the dock, or insert headphones.
Seems to me to be a software issue rather than hardware.
I've tried holding the volume keys, and plugging/un-plugging headphones repeatedly, as these were cited as potential fixes.
I have restored the device in several different ways. And I have now just jailbroken it for the first time. Seemingly the unlock gesture sound is happening more often than it did, but it's still not consistent.
From what I have read this is a common problem, with no real clear solution. But to me the problem seems pretty straight forward, if you can get past that it has nothing to do with the volume buttons....
Thanks for your potential insight.Welcome to the Apple Community.
When you say you can't play through both devices at the same time, what happens when you try, are you able to select multiple speakers, do they deselect themselves, do you not get the option or does it just not work when you select multiple speakers. -
as the tile said, I use my ipad as usual. no dock connector is installed.
but i found that "Dock Connector" is always displayed in iPod.
is that the problem of connector?
too bad, i don't even drop or bumb my ipad into hard surface. how come it play no sound with the internal speaker!?
"Dock Connector?"
Brothers, please help , thanks alot !Welcome to Apple Discussions!
First, make sure everything is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
See if either of these help the sound issue...

To delete photos, delete them from the folder the iPod is updating from. I have my photo library organized on my computer, and didn't want to change it for the iPod. So, I created a folder called "iPod Pics." Under the photo preferences for the iPod, I told iTunes to sync from there. I just put in and remove photos that I want for my iPod there. This way, I don't need to edit the My Pictures folder just for my iPod.
