IPod not playing into Left side speaker

I've noticed recently that when I play my iPod in my car there is no sound coming out of my left side speakers (front & back). When my radio is on the speakers are fine, so I've eliminated that from the equation.
So is it my iPod itself (settings?) that is causing this? or could it be my Monster cassette adapter (it's at least 3 + years old)? (Yes I still have a cassette player in my car, 98 Volvo S70)
Any help, suggestions ideas, etc would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Ian

Does the cassette adaptor connect to the iPod via the headphone jack? If so, do you hear sound through the left earbud? If so, that should isolate the problem to your cassette adaptor.
Cheers!

How do I get my iPod to play on my Bose Speaker?

This problem will require a genius, so please read the entire situation before responding. All of a sudden my Bose Speaker, which used to work fine with my iPod, will no longer charge or play my iPod. The speaker plays and charges other iPods with no problem, so there is nothing wrong with the speaker. The iPod plays with no problem on other devices, so there is nothing wrong with the iPod. For some reason, my particular iPod and my particular Bose speaker are no longer compatible with one another. I have returned my iPod to factory settings, to no effect. Bose has generaously replaced the speaker, but the new one doesn't work either.

I reckon that nothing wrong with your Bose Sound Dock, very likely a bad contact between your particular iPod and the Bose's dock.
What is the model of your iPod? You are talking about other iPods, are they same model? If the iPods are different models, then bear in mind that due to the size of each iPod models are different, some of them may not fit into the Bose's dock without using a fit adapter.

External speakers only play form left side :(

I have some Bose Companion 3 speakers on my Al 24" iMac and sometimes they only play out the left side. But if I unplug and plug in the speaker jack (on the mac) it works fine again. Any fix?

so the sound plays through the internal speakers instead of the external speakers? what OS are you using?

5th gen Ipod not playing in any docking station

I have a 6th generation ipod classic that works great in my pioneer receiver and in both cars. I bought a 5th gen ipod on ebay for my wife and it seems to work just fine.
I restored it using itunes, then put synced songs to it. Everything works fine when it's connected to Windows but it won't play in any docking station. It gets a charge from the station, but won't play.
Does the 5th gen ipod not work in docking stations or is it possible mine isn't functioning right. I contacted the manufacturer of the station in one of the cars and they said all ipods should work.

I have the same problem with a Pioneer X-HM50-K hifi system. My 5th gen ipod (system 1.3 which up-to-date iTunes claims is up-to-date, tried resetting/restoring/all that), when plugged into the docking bay, pauses the music and shows a tick mark after a while with the text "ok to disconnect" beneath it. The tick mark becomes a Pioneer logo after a while but that does not change the fact that the ipod does not react, neither to the command buttons on the Pioneer system (or on the remote control) nor to the buttons on the iPod itself (those do 'click', but have no effect). It does get charged, but doesn't play, just as in the top posting.
A friend's iPod nano works just fine on the Pioneer, and my iPod works fine for everything else (headphones, iTunes, other docking systems I tried at friends', ...). So there seems to be a specific incompatibility with Pioneer systems.
How can this problem be investigated and solved ?

Something's wrong with my headphone jack, it only plays the left side!!

I know it's not my headphones, cause I've tried 4 different ones, one of them new, and it''s always the left side that's the only working side. If I wiggle the headphones in the jack, the right side will cut in and out. This just happened today, I have no idea why. I didn't drop it, or get it wet or anything, I have no idea what couldv'e caused it. I've had the iPod since the beginning of this year, I don't think I registered it or got a warrenty or anything, I'm not sure how'd I'd check though. Can Apple fix this or can I fix it myself or what would you guys suggest? Thanks.

That happened with me also when I bought my skull candy headphones(iPods headphones hurt my ears). My headphones also worked for a while and then went to a point where I could only hear out of one side. I finally reverted back to the iPods headphones. I just stuck with the original headphones. Maybe I'll buy some of their more comfortable ones.
Also try not winding your headphone cord around the iPod too tightly. I looked somewhere else and someone said that that could be the problem. If you do wrap the excess cord around the iPod, try wrapping them around not as tight. I tried that and I got some extra life out of my old headphones. I would probably still be wearing them if I hadn't stepped on the jack and bent them.
I'm sorry that this is so long. Hope this helped.

IPod NOT playing iTunes downloads - HELP!

I thought it was an audiobook I downloaded, but I re-downloaded it tonight and it still didn't work. So I downloaded a song and just like the book, it went swiftly into iTunes and played fine.
When I sync the iPod, the music comes over, but will NOT play. It tries for a few seconds, then moves back to the main menu.
Surfed help and discussions and haven't found this problem.
I have soft/hard reset, deauthorized/authorized, etc...but to no avail.
Any Thoughts???

Macbook, "save document" screen is not visible on left side and I can't reach the buttons to shrink it

I have a mac book with windows platform. When I attempt to save a document my save screen is not positioned for me to see the whole thing. I would resize it, but the resize arrows are off the screen with the entire left side of the window. How can I get the left side back into view or how can I shrink it so the whole screen fits in the window? Help.

I found a solution that allows me to just see the "Cancel" and "Save" buttons and, more importantly, allowed me to get at the options screen to attach a password.
With the Save Screen open, I pressed the yellow "Iconize" button in the top left. I then "uniconized" the window by clicking on the icon in the dock and the save screen had reduced in size just enough for me to see everything I needed.
Sadly, I still couldn't get at the resize handles at the bottom right.
Hope this helps.

Why does my ipod not play audio?

my ipod touch 4th gen 16gb will not play audio unless it has headphones in. it is second hadn but the seller said nothing about this and the ipod is in perfect condition except for this. i have tried putting the headphones in and out and resetting the ipod, neither of these made any difference. when i play a video or a track without headphones in, the volume slider disappears as if there is no audio file. alarms and facetime sound effects etc still play so i dont think the speakers are broken. please 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 iPod. 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 iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

Ipod not playing entire track

I currnently have an Ipod Classic 160g. im having problems with my songs not playing all the way thru before skipping to the next track. on my computer the songs play thru all the way. its only on the Ipod, also the Ipod shows the song being there. for instance the song is 6 mins long,the time on the song goes down but like 2 mins in depending on the song it will jump aheaad. this is occuring with approximately 1/3 of the library. its really driving me nuts, ill just be getting into a song and blam its gone. Please someone who knows about this please respond.

*Skipping songs*
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
You may like to try scanning the files with MP3 Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/option clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags > None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

Lumia 925 only left side speaker working ?

Hi , im having a problem , i bought an used lumia 925 few months ago , and i didnt have any problems hardware wise except this..
When i play music i can hear it only through he left part of the speaker on the phone's back.
If i try and put my finger on the right side ,, nothing happens . If i cover he left side , i block all the sound output. Can someone tell me what should /could i do , on my own ? Thanks

Good day, arsaboss.
We understand where you're coming from. How's the phone doing? Did something happen to your phone that possibly cause such behavior? Any fixes you've tried like press and holding both the volume down & the power keys for 10 seconds or a reset under Settings> about> reset your phone?
When was the last time you updated your phone's software? Can you confirm that you have the latest one by checking if 'Lumia Cyan' is shown under Settings> extras+info? How about your system apps? See: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/Nokia-Windows-Phone-8-App-Updates/td-p/1640082. By the way, where are you located?

I can't get mi ipod to play music on my speaker/dock

Hi all I have an ipod touch and I have a speaker/dock and I can't get the ipod to play music on the speakers
it's hooked up, the dock recognises the ipod, I have home sharing on and this is the second speaker/dock I have tried.
HELP

Does the manufacturer say the dock is compatible with yur specific generation iPOd Touch and its iOS?
Have you went to the manufacturer's support site?
Does it look/feel like the iPod is mating properly wirth the dock?
Without you telling us your iPod model and iOS and the specific dock, it is hard to give more detailed suggestions.

ITunes 7 and new iPod not playing video

OK here's my other problem:
I have a new iPod, and have downloaded iTunes 7 and Tiger.
I've downloaded a video from iTunes (Michael Jackson's Thriler).
But when I double click on it in 'purchased', it won't play. Nothing happens, no icon, nothing.
Then when I restarted I got a message after iPod syncing that said 'Thriller' not transferred because iPod cannot play it'.
Any idea why?! I thought that's what I paid for...!

I am having a similar problem. I downloaded a song from iTunes a few minutes ago, but when I went to listen it, only part of the song plays. The song is abut 2:50 in length, but skips to another song in the playlist at about 1:30. It seems to pick the song it skips to rather randomly, fwiw!
Can I try downloading the song again, or will iTunes charge me for it a second time?
