IPod Touch Headphone Jack Isn't Working?

I own the original iPod Touch, I have had it for about 9 months, and out of nowhere the other day, I plugged my headphones in to listen, and I could only hear some of the instruments, and no vocals. At first I thought it was my headphones, but then I tried several other pairs, and none of them worked either. However, when I plugged it into an iPod Docking Station through the connector (not the headphone jack) it worked fine, so I know it's a problem with my iPod's headphone jack.
Any suggestions on how I could fix this?

If you bought it new only 9 months ago, which I think would be a little difficult, you can send it in to Apple or take it to an Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment first) and get it serviced under warranty. If it is out of warranty you can try a 3rd party repair site such as http://www.iresq.com or use Google to find other such sites. If you are the DIY type try http://www.ifixit.com and look at the pictures/videos on how to disassemble the iPod and replace the headphone jack.

You likely have a problem with the headphone jack. You jhave to ways to listen to music via headphones:
- Get the jack fixed. Here is one place:
DigiExpress.us - The iPad Repair Professionals
However first I wold rule out a software problem by try the following:
Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults.
The other way is to use bluetooth headhone if you have a 2G or later iPod.

Hi Mr.Acevedo329!
I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are experiencing. That article can be found right here:
iPod troubleshooting basics and service FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1382
Specifically, you will want to take note of this section:
The headphones don't work
If your iPod's headphones don't work or have static or garbled audio, try connecting them to any other 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack, like the one on your computer. If the issue with the headphones persists, replace them. For an iPod under warranty, you can order a replacement online. Otherwise, check out the cool headphones at the Apple Online Store. If the issue appears to be with the iPod, try resetting it. If that doesn't work, then restore iPod with the latest iPod software using iTunes 7 or later.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Help! My Ipod Video Headphone Jack isn't working!

Hey guys. My Ipod video has starting messing up in the jack so that it doesn't play right in the right ear regardless of what headphones I use. Is this a common problem and any idea how to fix it or how much it costs to fix it and where I go?

The best place to go is an Apple store ,if it is under warranty will no fees.
If do not have an Apple store close to you, go to an authorized dealer.
I think its a minor issue may be the jack connector
good luck

Do i have to send my iPod in if the headphone jack isn't working?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- 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.

My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything.

My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything. It used to do this thing where it would freeze when it was 100% charged and plugged in and I was using it. I'd just unplug it, restart it (home button and top button) and then it would be fine. That had happened like 5 hours prior to me plugging it in again and then it going totally blank.

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 iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

1st Gen iPod Touch headphone jack

Hey,
I bought my iPod in September 2007, and for the last few months my headphone jack hasn't been accepting all of my headphone jacks...by that, I don't mean that the jack is broken or not sending signals. I mean that it feels like there is something stuffed deep inside the jack that isn't allowing my headphones in. I've got two or three headphones that work in it, but I would really like to fix it because I would like to use my Bose headphones.
Any feedback would be useful.

Is there anything stuck in it?
If so, then try removing it.

How to properly disconnect Headphones from Ipod Touch  Headphone Jack

I just wanted to know if there's a way to properly disconnect the headphone plug from the Jack on the Touch,
I heard that the metal contacts in the jack can be flatten out (How would that happen?), I dont want something like that to happen, especially sine i recently got the new iTouch.
If you have any idea on this, let me know
Thanks in advance
Sorry If i seem paranoid, My last Ipod touch jack stopped working and i dont want the same thing to happen again. These Ipods aren't cheap you know...

From my knowledge, jack problems are mostly caused by snagging the cable and stressing the jack in the iPod. To disconnect just pull straight out.

IPod touch headphone jack

I'm sure this has been asked many times before but I can't find a good answer.
My friend gave me his old iPod touch 8gb 2nd gen and i juts noticed that the left headphone will not work no matter what headphones i insert.
they will only work if i apply pressure downwards onto the headphones where they are inserted or wiggle them around but it will often times loose noise in the left headphone.
My warranty is up and idk when it expired.
Is this considered a mistake/hardware error by apple and will they replace it for free?
Also ,is there anything else I should know? Thanks

My friend that works at Apple says the headphone jack breaks easily. Since you're out of warranty I would suggest a local repair in specialty with iPod/Mac repairs. Apple costs way too much if you're out of warranty. If that's not possible, I know Ebay has iPod reliable repairing services available but that would mean you have to wait a week or two. Please do not repair it yourself if you do not know what you're doing.
Also I know extending your warranty can get expensive, but for iPods it's relatively pretty cheap on ebay. They have legit warranty extensions (make sure they ship you the actual box and not just give you the code). I know Apple charges around 70 USD and ebay was like $20ish.
For future reference try not to put much pressure on near the headphone jack as you store it in your bag, or your pocket etc. Unplug your earbuds/headphones from the headphone jack to prevent this from happening again.
I hope I helped.

My iPod touch(3rd Gen) Isn't working

My iPod stopped working:(
Whenever I charge it, the lower back part gets really hot so I have to unplug it because it might explode.
I went to my local mall, and they had a repairing place there so I had it checked. They said there was something wrong with the batteries.
I brung it to an authorized Mac store, and the jerk in the Service area said it was disposable. Like I should just throw it away.(I don't spit money, so of course I didn't.)
I really don't know what to do. I just really want to know if there's still hope for my iPod. D:
Is there?
Please help me.

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes on yur computer
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

No microphone jack and my headphone jack isn't working. N858

I just got a Lenovo N585, and I've got to say it's one confusing laptop, at least for me. Well I tried plugging in my headphones into the head phone jack, and its works externally, but there is no sound coming out of my head phones. I am wondering if theres some program I have to run to make it work correctly. Also why is there not a microphone jack?

Hi Awkwardness2,
Thanks for posting and Welcome to Lenovo Community,
the machine has combo audio jack ,which is 1 socket for the speakers and the microphone
you need to buy a new headphone with combo audio jack or get an adapter to fix this issue
let me know if that fix the issue or not
Regards,
Ayman
