My iPod touch (3rd gen) isn't putting out sound other than static and high pitched noises through the tv hookup, the built in speakers, and headphones. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to fix it?

Everything on my iPod touch (3rd gen) works just fine except the audio out put.

Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue. Contact Apple or a third-party service center.

IPod no longer puts out sound, tried multiple resets/headphones

I have had my iPod for years, I believe I purchased it in 2006, and only days ago did it lose sound. I have tried to reset it, kill the battery, and I have also tried multiple headphones that work on other devices, to no avail. I've always had issues with it freezing, but never losing sound. It still indicates that it's playing, but no sound. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

It sounds like you have attempted all the known troubleshooting techniques. It's more than likely that the headphone jack is a gone and is in need of replacement.

How do you get multiple live instruments to put out sound?

I just got a M-Audio 61 keyboard from my wife for our anniversary. I love it and it works great with GarageBand 1.X. I also have a guitar I use with GB. It is plugged in the 1/8 in. mini jack input in the back of the Mac. I however can't get both to put out sound at the same time. Lets say, for instance, that I would play the guitar and my wife the keys. How can I get both to put out sound at the same time?
Thank for any help you can offer.
Your friend in Mac OS X,

Danke Christoph!
I was glad to get your response. I thought I was not doing something right in GarageBand. I'll get GB2 and try out multiple live sources.
Once again thanks.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

IPod not putting out sound on right headphone

As of yesterday, my iPod is not producing any sound through the right headphone. I've tried my headphones on other devices and they work, and also tried other headphones on my ipod and the right headphone still has no sound.
It seems like a problem with the connection because when I jiggle the headphone jack, I get brief bursts of soun (it seems like if I physically hold the headphone jack towards the back of the ipod, it helps).
Anyone else encounter this or have a suggestion?

or Google for more. You can either have them fix it or buy the part and do it yourself.

IPhone only putting out sound to left earbud.

I updated to 5.1.1 and now my iPhone is no longer playing sound out of the right earbud, only the left. The handfree controls and volume buttons work but there is no sound coming out of the right earbud. I tried two different pairs and both had the same issue.
Is this related to the update or did my iPhone (model a1332, 16gb iPhone 4) just quit playing?

I did try a reset/restore on my phone. I went back to the most recent backup before I upgraded and still had the issue of Apple branded earbuds not working. Any third party earbuds worked as I tested two different pairs.
At this point, I have to think that it is a hardware issue with my iPhone. However, I find it odd that only the left earbud works on Apple earbuds and also that the hands free microphone works as well as the iPod controls.
I've investigated every setting that I can in both the iPod menu and the Accessability menu with no luck on rectifying the issue.

My iPod isn't transmitting any sound

So I picked up my iPod, and it got snagged on another powercord, it fell on the padded leather recliner, no biggie. So I picked it up, popped in my headphones, and hit play... no audio. So I pulled them off, and noticed that altough it may be annoying, there was no clicking noise coming out of the tiny speaker. So, I tried resetting it, checked my notes section, looked through all of my music, plugged it into my comp to see if it worked, and everything seems fine. I even found my old stock headphones and tried it, but still no audio. Any help? I'm trying to avoid a complete restore if possible.

You need to authorize your new computer in iTunes with the same account that is synced to your nano (and old iTunes)
In the menu bar click Store >> Authorize This Computer…
This will allow your purchased music to be re-downloaded from iTunes and played on your new computer.
If you did not purchase the music through iTunes, you may need a third-party program to get the music off the nano. However, It is much easier (by far) to move your old library from your old computer to the new one if you still have access to the old files. iTunes will not transfer music from your nano to the computer. It is a one-way sync.
If you still have access to your old files, search google for how to transfer an itunes library, and follow someones instructions. It's not too complicated. You may want to specify mac to pc, pc to mac, mac to mac, or pc to pc, as the instructions will change.

TS2771 Help! I just restored my ipod touch 2nd gen cos I needed a clear out. I went to sync some music back on, and it seemed to work. However when I went into 'music' it said 'no content'. I tried syncing music 3 times and it did the same every time. Hel

Help! I just restored my ipod touch 2nd gen cos I needed a clear out. I went to sync some music back on, and it seemed to work. However when I went into 'music' it said 'no content'. I tried syncing music 3 times and it did the same every time. Help!

Try plugging your ipod into your computer. Then start up itunes. Let it load everything. Then click on your ipod and play a song from your ipod's library. Not your itunes library. If it plays the song, then go ahead and stop it, disconnect your ipod, and check the content once again.
I had the same problem and beleive it or not, this worked. I synced my ipod like 5 times before finding this answer on the web. Let me know if I need to clerify anything.

HT1937 My ipod isnet charging and my sound isent working in the jack hole for the charger it looks like tiny little wires sticking out what do i do?

My ipod isent charging and my sound insn'et working in the jack hole there are wires sticking out but they are tiny what do i do?

First of all, you are fortunate that everything works. Secondly, I agree that rice may be the culprit in the charging port. However there is a chance that your trying to fix it could actually harm the port and cost you, so I suggest you first get under a bright light and use a magnifying glass to see exactly what and where the obstruction is. Attempting to connect the charging cable has probably already forced the obstructing substance further down into the port. Obviously the port is small and will require some kind of tool to help you remove whatever is in there. I suggest a plastic toothpick that is not likely to break and shouldn't do damage to the contacts. Tweezers may be useful but if utilized be very cautious not to scrape anything if at all possible.

TS3186 My docking station wont play my ipod..... the ipod works fine on its own but when I try to play via my hifi I have to put the sound full wack to be able to hear it & its not very lound at all. It does not respond with the remote control either!! Th

My docking station wont play my ipod..... the ipod works fine on its own but when I try to play via my hifi I have to put the sound full wack to be able to hear it & its not very lound at all. It does not respond with the remote control either!! The sound is ok if I play CDs & respond to remote control fine... The hifi & docking station are Sony

1) When I go to the apple.com website my computer will either be really slow or freeze my whole system down to where I have to reboot my computer again. This does not happen all the time but when it does operate it is molasses slow.
By any chance, are you uswing Kaspersky security software?
If so, see:
