IPod stuck in 'headphone' mode but I don't have headphones in. What should I do?

My iPod won't make any sound at all. When I turn up the volume it just says that there is headphones in But there really isn't. What can I do to fix it?

- 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.

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.

- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

IPod is on LOCKED MODE but I don't remember the password - What should I do

My ipod turned itself on lock mode and I don't remember assign it any password. What should I do ?

Connect the iPod to the main computer you use it with (if you use it with more than one, this is the first one it was connected to) and open iTunes. Then disconnect iPod from the computer, it should be unlocked: iPod: How to use the Screen Lock
If you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

lovingme_ivana your suggestion has nothing to do with the problem. Also, did yo notice that the post is about 10 months old? I hope the poster resolved it by now. Also, most posters do not mark their post as solved.

IPhone 4s is stuck in recovery mode but I don't want to restore!

I backed up my phone then tried to update it to iOS 6.1.3 and the update wasn't working so i unplugged it, hoping to start over. My phone is now in recovery mode and I've tried holding the buttons and nothing has worked. I DO NOT WANT TO RESTORE MY PHONE. I have important pictures on my phone and they will be erased. What do I do?

If the iPhone is in Recovery Mode, there is no choice but to restore.
Notes:
In certain situations, an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will automatically go into recovery mode after an update or restore issue.
From here > iOS: Unable to update or restore

Ipod touch is very slow, but I don't have a lot of apps?

I have a 4th gen Ipod touch, and lately it's been extremely laggy. I do not have many apps, and there is still around 45-50GB free on it. I use it primarily for music and it takes up 60-70% of what's on the Ipod. Whenever I try to play a song, I have to press the music app(oh whatever you call it the place where the songs go) at least 3 times before it actually displays a list of my songs. The attempts prior to that show the layout, but everything is completeky blank. And once I manage to play a song, it plays only the song I selected and then stops, making me repeat the whole ritual again. I've read other discussions on this topic, but the solutions seem to be restore it and don't overload it with apps... So I'm wondering why it's being like this. I've had it since June 2011 and is this a normal Ipod's lifespan (if it is that is extremely disappointing considering the amount of money paid)?

turn off the ipod and turn it back on after 5mins
Maybe do a factory reset and just transfer all your music back from itunes

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. You have no iCloud since that requies iOS 5 If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes. If yo do not have a backup yo can't restoe from backup

If iTunes need respond from your phone but you don't remember your password what should you do

so I can't remember my phone password, right now it says ''Phone is disabled, connect to Itunes''. I tried to reset my phone on Itunes, but I haven't synced my phone to itunes yet. Itunes need respond from my phone, but I can't don't remember my password. So I can't get in to my phone and respond.

Try recovery mode, as described towards the bottom of this page : iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled.
If you haven't synced/backed up to your computer's iTunes then do you have an iCloud backup then you can then restore to ? If not then what you can redownload for free will show in the Purchased tabs in the iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps.

HT5622 My wife and I traded iPhones so I deleted her iCloud account and put mine in but I don't have my pictures what do I do to retrieve my pictures from iCloud

Need help getting my pictures from ICloud I already signed I to my new phone but I can't see them on my phone

There are a lot of misconceptions about Apple's iCloud-based Photo Stream service. Allan Sampson's advice is the best place to start to resolve your issue.
I recently wrote an article on my blog that serves as an overview of Photo Stream. I created based on a startling conversation I had with a co-worker who routinely deleted photos from their phone believing that iCloud was a limitless backup service. Ouch!

Best of luck finding a solution.

HT201442 I tried to update my iPad mini to iOS 7.1 using my PC. Then iTunes said that my device is in recovery mode but can't recover my device. What should I do?

iTunes could not recover my iPad mini and gave out the error message 3194. What should I do?

Now when I plug my phone into my PC, iTunes treats my phone as new or restore from previous back up version. I plugged the phone into my PC before and used iTunes to back it up at leat once. When I click to access my phone, iTunes asked for my permission and on the phone screen displayed 'trust this computer'? How weird. No 'back up' option because iTunes still think my phone is new.

I have a 2008 macbook, I've updated to osx verison 10.7.5 and now don't have word. What should I do?

What should I do to get a newer word version?

Both Office 2008 and Office 2011 will run under OS 10.7. As deggie points out, there are no free upgrades for MS for the older versions of Office (2004 and earlier).
If you have a slow internet connection, avoid the new "365" version of Office that is subscription-based. It has to "phone home" and there a number of reports of it not working well on dial-up or slow DSL connections.

HT201364 i don't have more space what should i do

i dont have enough space, what should i do?

You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!
