Ipod mic not working

My Ipod 5th Gen mic not working

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
  - Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                                
iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Both internal and USB mics not working

    Hi there, all. Long-time lurker, first-time poster. Starting last night, I have been having issues with microphone use on my iBook G4. Neither the internal mic nor my USB headset mic (Altec Lansing AHS302USB) are accepting input.
    The internal mic's failure doesn't surprise me, as I have heard about the delicate nature of the wire connecting the internal mic from its position on the display down to the main computer. It's the USB mic that confuses me, since USB mics are what everyone seems to recommend that people use when the internal mic is on the fritz (thanks to other mics not working with Mac due to the line-in thing). Also there is the fact that I have used this headset with this computer for over a year with no significant issues until now, with both mics simultaneously failing.
    There doesn't seem to be a problem with the headset's wires; I am still able to hear audio through the headphones quite well, and when I load my audio recording program (Audio In) and Sound Preferences, I can see the occasional blip of sound recognition when I move the USB adapter portion around in the port. These blips even occur when the pink microphone jack and headphones jack are unplugged from the adapter, so this suggests to me that the problem lies not with the wires, but somewhere in the USB adapter, port, or the computer itself.
    I'm leaning toward the computer itself, since it just seems odd that both mics would just happen to stop working at the same time. That and the fact that audio output still works through the headset, and the USB ports work fine for other USB devices such as my external drive and iPod.
    I have tried restarting, resetting the PRAM, and repairing permissions with Disk Utility. Nothing's working so far.
    Does anyone have any idea what could possibly be wrong?
    For reference's sake, I took a recording of the sound that results from jiggling the USB headset adapter in the port. It's very quiet, so you may need to turn up the volume a little bit to hear it. Again, these are the ONLY sounds that the mic is able to pick up currently.

    Just to chime in here - I wonder if it's down to the software: I've recently updated to 10.4.10, and the internal mic seems to have stopped working.
    One positive effect of the change to 10.4.10 is that my Griffin iMic no longer flips to 8-bit, 22khz recording when I plug it in.
    Having said that, I really like to get my internal mic back up and running again.

  • IPhone 2G voice mic not working

    Has anyone come across iPhone 2G voice mic not working (not being heard by the other person) but works fine on speaker phone and bluetooth headset. It has been working fine so far and suddenly developed this problem! Any help is highly appreciated….

    I had that problem with my iPhone 3G after about 5 days.
    I just had Apple take a look at it.
    They cleaned it out, called it and stuff.
    Didn't work.
    Since I didn't drop it in water and it was not my fault in any way, they gave me a brand new one.

  • Downloaded Update Software now Ipod is not working - Please Help

    I downloaded Update Software onto Ipod and now Ipod is not working. It is stating "Itunes detected an Ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used in Itunes". Here's the deal I did that now the Ipod just blinks the circle with the line through it and says do not disconnect. Nothing happens. Has the new software corrupted my Ipod? Can anyone Help

    iPod is in recovery mode.

  • My daughter's ipod is not working and says it needs to be plugged into a computer. Can she sync to someone elses mac?

    My daughter is away at camp and ipod is not working and says it needs to be connected to itunes.  She does not have her laptop with her. Can she sync to her itunes on someone else's mac?

    Yes, when she plugs it in to another person's mac, tell it transfer purchases, then authorize the computer by going to store, and click authroize computer. If the iPod is in recovery mode
    Then I don't think she can have her music apps etc. on there after she plugs it into the computer. If it just needs a charge
    When iTunes opens on the computer, quit it, and do not let the iPod sync with the computer, just answer no or ignore to any questions asking if you want to sync.

    I tried updating my iPod, and ever since it has not worked at all. If I hold in the lock & home button, it will tell me to plug it into iTunes. Once I do that, it says it will restore but every time, restoring it fails. My iPod is not working at all, and I really have no idea what to do. It is just a black screen, and occasionally the white apple will appear as if it were turning on, but it won't turn on. I just need some suggestions on what to do!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod is not working at all when i plug it into my laptop i get an itunes sign and below that plugin sign

    My ipod is not working at all when i plug it into my laptop i get an itunes sign and below that plugin sign also it says new software found however it first asks me to install the software disc which i dont have it with me now can you plz check for the same and reply asap...please thanks.

    The link I and Ingo provided included:
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    That is more than quicktime and iTunes.  Follow all the instruction in the link for removing and reinstalling the Apple software.

  • IPod (5G) and iPod (Classic) Not Working

    _*iPod 5G:*_
    I bought the iPod 5G 2-3years back ago. It was working all fine. Few months back I accidentally dropped the iPod. After this, the iPod was not working at all. None of the buttons works. But i am still able to put in on HOLD or even restart/put to disk mode. I am using it as a 80gb External Hard Drive.
    *iPod Classic (120GB):*
    I bought this iPod from Bangkok in December 2008. Later, in March, used to restart by itself and freeze suddenly when a track is being played. I had some tracks on it then. Whenever i try to play any track it showed the time 00:00 and started to play that particular track after this 'click' sort of sound from the inside, possibly from the hard drive. It even freezes during the RESTART process. So I had to bring it to a stable condition by restarting it during it is being restarted. My computer is not able to identify it. I have tried to restore it a couple of times now. Sometimes, I am able to get through the RESTORE process but most of the time my mac/ipod freeze together and wont come back to normal until and unless the usb wire is pulled out forcefully. Well, whenever iTunes recognizes it, I try to sync music. I have about 200 tracks in this one playlist. Whenever i try to sync it, the ipod freezes together with my mac. The sync process stops without copying all the tracks to my ipod. After that the screen goes black and then comes back with a dull APPLE logo displayed.
    +Information on iPod Shuffle:+
    My dad is going to Bangkok tomorrow. I asked him to get me a Shuffle. The new one that talks. I use the ipod mainly in my car (using the aux). There are no buttons on the Shuffle as everything in situated in cable of the ear phones. How am i going to use the controls if my connect the AUX (from my car's stereo) to my iPod? I wont be able to change tracks, pause or even shut down the ipod. Another thing is that whenever the ear phone plug is disconnected from the ipod, while it is playing a track, the track gets automatically paused.
    This is very long, consumed a lot of time for you to read/for me to write. I guess making it longer would help me to kill time as I am running a ZERO OUT format on the 2nd ipod I own. :P
    Thank You,
    Samin

    The classic bought in December 2008 would still be covered by warranty. Have you arranged for service for it?

  • Please Help. Ipod Screen Not Working

    My screen on my ipod does not work any more.
    I have tried restoring/updating it.....everything!!
    problem is this is my second due to a faulty battery on the first which apple exchanged free of charge for me so I ma not sure if I am entitled to another ipod or what!!!
    If anyone knows how to get the screen working or about 2nd exchanges then please help,
    Thanks,
    Louise x

    If you truly have tried resetting/restoring, then it's time for service. Is it still under warranty, because if so, it won't matter that you have had one exchange already?

  • IPod Classic not working in car but works everywhere else. Troubleshooting?

    My iPod is not working with my Infiniti iPod jack but all other iPods work fine with the in-car system. My iPod synchs fine to my Mac and to an external stereo player through the connector on the bottom of the unit. So it looks like both units work fine with any iPod, but only my iPod will not work with the car while it does work with other connections. How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks for any help.
    BTW, the Infniti is a 2008 G37 and the dealer just put a brand new unit in it and the same thing happened. The iPod is a 2008 80GB Classic.
    Heeeelp!!!!

    I have the same problem with my infiniti G37. Soo frustrating!
