Ipod on Iphone 4: unable to listen to music on speakers

While playing my music, IPOD, on my iphone 4, sound is not coming through speakers on phone. The volume control is not even shown, unless airport express is selected.
If I am in my car, and the blue tooth, hands free device is on, the music will play though the hands-free device.
I have upgraded to version 4.3, but a friend who also upgraded is not having the same issue.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi,
Try turning off Bluetooth on the iPhone.
Tap Settings / General / Bluetooth
You may need to restart the iPhone for changes to take effect.

Unable to listen to music while iPod is connected to computer

Whenever I connect the iPod(5th Gen) to my computer it shows Do Not Disconnect message and am unable to listen to music. Also, if music is playing previously, it stops automatically. Can anyone help? Just been two days since I bought my iPod

Try this for your Do Not Disconnect issue:
Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Preferences>iPod. Under the Music tab see if you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes and also have a tick in the box marked “enable disk use". Remove this tick and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
If you have your iPod set to manual update, the box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case use Safely remove Hardware icon or check this link: "Disconnecting iPod from your computer
" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61135
Just another point to note, your iPod needs to be in manual mode to listen to it while connected to your PC. In automatic mode you will see the iPod library greyed out and inaccessible.

I have formatted my IPOD shuffle,now im unable to listen to songs

Hi,
i have mistakenly formatted IPOD and now im unable to listen songs even if i have re-installed ITUNES on my windows PC.
please help me guys.

By formatted do you mean a low level filesystem reformat of the Shuffle's flash storage using the reformat option available in Windows (and NOT iTunes)?
Does the iPod still appear in iTunes when you connect it? If so, are you sure have content synced to it?

I have an Ipod 5 and you can not listen to music unless you have headphone plugged in

I have an Ipod 5 and you can not listen to music unless you have headphones plugged in

- 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.

Iphone 5s overheats when listening to music

my iphon 5s overheats when listening to music sometimes after only 2 or 3 songs.
i took it into the apple store they gave me a new phone after seeing there was 5 overheating notifications.
now it happened again on my new phone. i heard something about disabeling syncing between icloud and safari. will this work?

Welcome to the discussions,
did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again? If still no change, a restore "as new iphone" would be the next step. In that case don't use your backup to get your data back, it may contain damaged files causing your problem.

Screen says "Unable to listen to music; low battery" & won't charge?

My niece just called me with a problem I could not find a solution to doing a search.
She said she was listening to a song when her Nano stopped playing. When she looked at the screen, it said "You Can't play music, your battery is dead". It appeared for about a minute, then disappeared.
She plugged it in via the A/C wall adaptor, but the charging icon is not showing on the screen.
I told her to attempt a restart, but nothing happened. I asked if she attempted to charge it using the computer. That had also been tried before contacting me, and no icons appeared then either. Initially, my thinking was that it would need to be connected to the charger for a while before it had enough energy to show anything, but she said that it's been connected to the wall charger for over 3 hours now and that's why she decided to call me. Unfortunatley, we live a few thousand miles apart, so I can't run over and see it. And yes - I did have her check the hold button & that's not on either (see; I read these boards & do searches when I have questions! LOL)
Any ideas are greatly appreciated, as I'm at a complete loss. I have never heard of an iPod, Nano or regular, displaying such an interested message (I asked over 3 different times, and each time she repeated the same thing - unable/can't listen to music, low battery - then died).
Hopefully, someone can answer so I can regain my iPod Goddess status in her eyes =) I was floored when I did a discussion search and couldn't find the answer!
THX!
Windows XP First Time Mommy to 4gen 60gb

Hi Menhem,
It is unfortunate that the automatic calibration didn't complete. I would recommend going ahead and trying the Manual Calibration steps at the end of the document Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 7), then go back to using the notebook as you normally would and see if the behaviour of the battery and charging system changes at all, you could also run the battery test again to see if you get a different result. If it improves great, but if there are still problems, try the automatic calibration one more time to see if it will complete.
Another thing to do is to make sure you are up to date with your BIOS, the latest BIOS for your model is F.52, which you can find at the link below, but it is relatively old at this point, so I would thing that you probably already have it on your PC. In general I would recommend running the HP Support Assistant application, and letting it check your PC and keep it up to date with all the necessary drivers.
How long have you had the notebook? Batteries do degrade over time with normal usage, and if you have had the notebook for awhile, and have put the battery through many charging cycles, it may just be time for a new battery. Check out Purchasing a Replacement Battery for instructions on finding a replacement battery. Some other documents to review are Improving Battery Performance (Windows 8, 7, Vista) and Understanding Lithium-Ion and Smart Battery Technology, both of which may have some good information to help you with your issue.

Unable to listen to music on xa-0611

Hi,have an O2 XA-0611 headset which Ican use for calls but can't listen to music.I can use the headset to play or pause forward or rewind but no sound comes through.
Is there something Ineed to change in settings?.Headset is supposed to be compatible with iphone.Thanks.

Well ****. I guess it's my turn to experience this. Yep. 120GB iPod Classic. All of a sudden, "no music." But it's all there, according to the settings. Please, oh please, Apple. We need help. I can't deal with losing all this precious music. I have a lot of it backed up in various places, but it would be impossible to get it ALL back, and it would be an incredible long and challenging process to retrieve what is retrievable.
I'm too busy for this. Please give us an easy fix, please!

Can I use my Ipod wirelessly in my car to listen to music

Right now I have to use a connection from my car to my IPOD I thought I saw on TV where I can use the Apple website to go wireless. I have an IPHONE 5 if that makes a difference.

Not sure how would you connect to the Apple website, while in your car.
If you mean that you want to listen to the music that's on your iPhone, but through the car's stereo, does your car stereo have a Bluetooth option?
The various methods to listen to music (that is on an iDevice), but through the car stereo, wirelessly, are as follows:
Bluetooth from the iPhone to the car stereo's Bluetooth facility - if the car stereo has Bluetooth that receives music. Check the instructions for your car's stereo.
Bluetooth from the iPhone to a Bluetooth receiver that plugs into the car's stereo (this may not be a straight forward option, you would need to buy the correct type of Bluetooth receiver for your car).
An FM transmitter, which the iPhone plugs into and it then transmitts a radio signal which the car radio is tuned into. The quality of FM transmitters is not as good as other methods.

Is it possable to download music from an iPod to iPhone, Is it possable to download music from an iPod to iPhone

Is it possable to download music from an iPod to iPhone?

No.
You either use iTunes to sync it to your phone, or if purchased from the iTunes store, you can merely download it directly on your phone.

I recently used Bluetooth speaker with my iPhone 4S Now I am unable to listen to music through headphones Iphone speakers, even when device is no longer recognised by phone.

Please advise

Hey Jennymagee,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 4s. The following resource may provide a solution:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
1. Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
2. Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
3. If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
4. Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
5. If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
6. If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
- Try turning off Bluetooth.
- If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
7. Restart the iPhone.
8. If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
9. If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
If the issue persists, please follow the last step by contacting Apple Support for support and service options.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Unable to listen to music (sometimes)

I have a laptop with a wlan connection and all my mp3 music on a network drive. i have imported some of my cd's from my network drive to my itunes. When I take my laptop on the go, I can't access those songs. And when I get back and resync my Ipod i get the message stating that it could not find those songs and I have to go back every single time and show it were it is. It's not on all the songs, just a couple. I have other songs on Itunes from the same drive and don't have that problem
