Ipod playing through right side only

I have a 3rd generation iPod nano, and I noticed recently that no matter what i plug into, whether it be headphones, a 1/8" jack to a car receiver or radio, only the right side will play. Is there a setting somewhere that controls which side the music plays, or a centering option? Any help would be greatly appreciated

You have a defective headphone jack. You will need to get it serviced.

Help Please ( Speaker Problem Only Playing Through Right)

Can someone help me please, recently my speakers have only been playing through the right speaker, i have tryed headphones and the problem still occurs and no sound is coming out of the left speaker, i have checked all the sound settings and they are all correct.

Greetings,
When you turn your Mac on with either the headphones or the speakers plugged in, do you hear the startup chime "BONG!" only through one side?
Reset the SMC and then test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Reset the PRAM and then test: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
If the issue persists at this point and those headphones work fine on another device (like an iPod) then you have a hardware issue and need service:
-- Contact a local Apple Authorized Service Provider: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
or
-- Book an appointment at an Apple Retail Store: http://www.apple.com/retail/

Hope that helps.

Ipod output won't play on right side

anything my ipod is plugged into from the top output jack will not play on the right side. tape adapter, headphones... blah blah blah. should i pay to get this repaired?
it used to work on both sides if the ipod was pressed very firmly around the top of the screen.
bottom output for sound works perfectly.
it's internally messed up. and it was probably dropped twice since january of 2006.
i don't know how it happened :/

yeah... it costs 146 for that to get fixed. not happening.

IPod plays on 1 side - no warranty

Hi
I have a problem with my IPod: like I said, it only plays on one side. It's my second Ipod, the previous one had the same problem but I recevied a new one. But this time, my warranty is expired. I'm afraid that repairing it with apple support may cost a lot? Anyone an idea?
Greetz

Do a search for iPod repairs. There are some good companies that do this work and will cost a lot less than having apple repair it.

INTERNAL MIC. RIGHT-SIDE ONLY?

I-Chat without camera or additional equipment, internal microphone audio comes out of the right-side built-in speaker only.
Checked PREF/SOUND/BALANCE ... center position.
Everything else works, I-TUNES, TIME ANNOUNCEMENT, DVD/CD'S.
Is the Internal Mic. STEREO? Thanks.

Hey thanks for the reply , Ralph!
We have been still getting overr the shock of the DISK UTILITY REPAIRS PERMISSIONS problem of a few weeks ago.
My family and I had not used ichat for a while, and my sister noticed , one, that we did not have to adjust downward the input and output volumes of PREF/SOUND in order not to contend with feedback, as we had done before, when we first had experimented with ichat for the first time,and two, she then brought to my attention, that when we adjusted the "balance" from center to left, no sound at all was heard with ichat. Moving the fader back to center, or all the way to right, was sound but only right side.????
...they didn't have download something again that needs repair, did they?

Volume switch off but IPOD plays through speakers

I was at a conference today and turned my iphone off so it would not ring. After about 5 hours I started messing with my phone (I know I shouldn't have but...) Anyways, all sounds are muted except IPOD functions. Songs and movies play through the speaker even when the mute swithch is activated. Anyone else have this? Is it in need of a fix or am I missing another place to mute the phone?

Page 37 of the iPhone User Guide describes the switch as a ring/silence switch.
Page 96 states that when set to silent, the phone will not play any ring, alert or effects sounds. It does play alarms set by the clock.
Go to Settings - Sounds on your iPhone to see what is controlled by the ring/silent switch. Don't fool with anything else while "in conference".

Facing problems right side only

I want to prepare some material for a speech I am preparing. What I want to do is the source material on the right side of facing pages only. On the left side, I want to be able to print my notes, comments, etc.
Anyway to do this?

Sd card reader & USB port (right side only) not working

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro 15" retina display with OS Moutain Lion. The SD card reader and USB port on the right side of the computer do not work. I've restarted the computer numerous times, tried to reimage the computer with the Control+R during restart (didn't allow for update because Mountain Lion was loaded on the system), and downloaded with the latest updates but they still do not work. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan so Apple Support calling me back isn't going to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello :
TNX for your reply.
Unfortunately, I do not own a 2 gig mem card to test with. What perplexes me is that when I watch device manager and open properties boxes for the USB dev, SMSC-2228 dev, and the newly created disks, the Win XP drivers do indeed load, but watching it do so is sloooooooowwwwwww. Slow as in 3 - 5 minutes for the win drivers to load in place. Funny thing is, an xD mem card or Memory stick initialize, set up properly in a matter of at most 5 - 10 seconds or so. The only card type I have a problem with is THE MOST COMMON ONE, the SD card. Maybe a Micro/Mickey soft thing? Some info I found on the SMSC controller claims it supports the larger sd card sizes, so I think this is a Micro / Mickey soft thing. I guess I need to search for some better drivers somewhere.
TNX for now

The sound will only play through one side of the ear buds

I have had my ipod classic 160GB for several years now. One day recently it just stopped emitting sound from one side of my ear buds. I tried different ear buds with no results. If I leave the ear bud jack plugged in half way in then it works, but I do not want to keep it unsecured like that. I do not still have my warranty on the ipod otherwise I would have contacted Apple directly.

You can obtain a replacement headphone jack/hold switch assembly from eBay or other online store. Opening the iPod isn't the easiest thing but it can be done with the accompanying tools, and a bit of patience and effort. Once the back is off the actual replacement of the components is quite easy though the screws are tiny. I've done half a dozen of these and/or battery swap outs.

Headphone jack only plays through Right

I'm trying to listen to music and the left earbud is way weaker than my right. I tried different headphones and they are not the problem. I'm sure it's the Mac, but I don't know if there is an eas fix or if I need to send it in. What should I do?

Have you made certain that the balance in System Preferences>Sound is set in the middle?

I can't make my ipod play through a docking station tge the music comes out tge ipod how do I solve this?

I can't seem to get my ipod to play music through a docking system the sound only comes from the ipod itself?

Try:
- 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.

IPod plays through one speaker

I've had my iPod 5th G for about 3 years now and today, without warning, it has only been playing music through the left speaker. I assumed it was the headphones I was using, but after trying 3 other pairs I found this was not so.
What should I do?

If multiple pairs of headphones do not work, than the headphone jack/plug is probably loose and unable to make a solid connection. This isn't really something you can fix yourself unless you take the ipod apart, so i would suggest going to the apple store or contacting apple.

TS3474 Display doesn't work, although iPod plays through other devices

Anybody know how to fix this?

If you have tried all of the suggestions mentioned under the appropriate section in this Apple support document, you may need to have your iPod serviced or replaced either by Apple or a third party service. It's a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display.
iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
Some users were able to resolve it by restoring the iPod numerous times and others corrected it by letting the battery fully drain and then charged it back up and restored it in iTunes.
If the Nano is still under Apple's 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects, Apple may swap it out for you at no cost if they don't conclude the issue to be the result of abuse or accidental damage. If you have an Apple Store nearby schedule an appointment with them and show them what you are experiencing.

Iphone 4G music plays through bluetooth, but only one speaker works in my car when i play it, why is that?

This problem suddenly started about a week ago. i had both speakers working, then after i updated my phone one skeaker stopped working on the driverside like with a pair of headphones when the left headphone stops working. only thing is i don't have to physically plug in my phone to listen to music, i use bluetooth, my car came with the option. i was wondering if its because the balance got changed in my phone some how or if its something else. please help!

for troubleshooting I would try another bluetooth device to make 100% sure that it was an iphone issue
