Hi Cat,?I have the same problem like this guy in this forum... http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=7666, I just don't know what happen cause the thread stops without confirming that neither one of the advice really works. Just got your new product (ZEN) from the?IT?show in Singapore,?some guys are talking about. My ZEN is about 3 days old, I'm so despirate that I couldn't maximize the capacity of this gadget. I didn't buy the ZEN?just for music alone. The main reason was the good quality of the video,?thought that I can use?watching my favorite movies. Please help me find the solution. Thanks!

The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly

The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly. It has sound without the headphones in but when I plug them in it has no sound, it's low, or poppy. I had only used my apple supplied headphones once before and it worked fine. I know it's not the headphones because I tried them on my girlfriends phone and they worked fine.

- 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 iOS device. 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 iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

How can I safely get a broken-off head phone jack out of the receptacle?

The head phone jack broke off in the iPad. It is too far down to remove with tweezers. Any suggestions on how to get it out safely? I sent it to the company and was told that unless I fixed the dent on the corner and scratches to the charging base at a cost of $255, they could not fix it. So now I am trying to figure out how to get it out myself.
Thank you for your help,
Karen

Use super-glue on the tip of a jeweller screwdriver (tiny screwdriver) to extract the phone jack.

A way how to fix the Zen Micro head phone jack prob

Hi! I am one of the many people that purchased a Zen Micro MP3 player, I loved it until around 6 months of use, an audio shorting problem with the head phone jack, started to repeat it's self every time, that I would plug my head phone's into the Zen Micro head phone jack. After awhile, I was tired of this problem, so I just decided to never use it again, unless I could find out if the maker of the Zen Micro had a repair service. I noticed that some people had their Micro's replaced a few times under the warranty that is included with the player. I also noticed that some one created a way to fix this problem, but I wanted to see if I could find an easier way to fix the problem. Well I did end up finding an easier way to fix the problem, this is what I did.
Absolutely in all means I can't be held responsible / reliable for any unforseen thing / things, that you may or could, do to the Zen Micro, by following the instructions, which I provided. By trying what I did by following the instructions, which I provided you; you accept all responsibility to any thing / things, that may or could happen to the Zen Micro.
The Instructions:
I took a stapler pressed it down to get a used staple then I carefully inserted it in the outer part of the plastic head phone jack ring. Then I pressed the rest of the staple flat against the Zen micro. And Now I get great sound, it is at least better than, the way it was before I inserted the staple. I would suggest to always remove the staple. When you connect the Zen Micro to a computer, charging device, or any other device other than a pair of head phones. You understand that if you leave the staple inserted in the Zen Micro and don't remove it. While you have it connected to a computer, charging device, or any other device, or devices, even a pair of head phones, and some thing happens, you can't hold me responsible.
If you would like to see a photo of how it looks please reply to this message and just include your email address please. I will send it to you as soon as possible. The photo has 4 photos sized down to perfectly fit on one photo, so you can get a good idea of what it should look like.

Thank you for the information, can I please have the photos so I dont destroy it entirely !. Take care,?Simon?(Dublin, Ireland)

I have a 24" mid 2008 imac when i plug the head phone jack into my stereo i have a hum that never goes away.

i have tried grounding both the head unit and also the computer it self and all i find is the noise is still there. what can i do to get rid of the noise? i think the problem is in the grounding of the head phone jack it's self but i dont know. has any one else had this same problem? thanks for your time.

How did you confirm grounding? How old is your house? Does it have 3-prong outlets? If not, there's no guarantee they are wired right even if they are the ones with one wider prong slot. If they are 3-prong, that's still no gurantee they are wired right. You would need one of the below to be sure. Just trying to save a lot of troubleshooting of devices when it could be your house wiring.

Xperia Z3v Head Phone Jack Cover

Just curious if any one of you had dipped your Xperia Z3v in water....On sonymobile.com it says that make sure all the ports are closed, but the phone did not come with a head phone jack cover. Does that mean it is already waterproof? I examined all the photos avaiable on sonymobile.com and none of the pictures showing the phone under water had the head phone jack covered. Any feed back (from Sony) would be appreciated! Thanks for reading

the 3.5mm jack its waterproof, it doesn't need a cover/flap

Why was the head phone jack moved to the bottom of the iPhone 5

Why was the head phone jack moved to the bottom of the iPhone 5

Because it worked better with the new design, most likely. To get the real answer you'd have to ask the people that designed it.

I have put my head phone jack surcuely in but it's not making much sound. I have turned it up the whole way but it only gives me a tiny whiny little bit of sound. It only does this if I push it really far into my ear!!! Help!

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

My head phone jack isn't working. Only works with the new headphones that have three rings at the bottom. My regular ones with two rings don't work with the computer anymore. Anyone know a fix?

Get the new keyboard at eBay and replace by yourself may be cheaper way, though you're required higher skill and well know about MacBook Air.

Zen touch head phone jack prob

I've had my zen for just under a year now and i've recently i've started using it more frequently and realised that there is a problem with the head phone jack thats on the mp3 player.
I bought zen touch from Hong Kong(because i was on holiday there), however i li've in England and i am not sure whether i can get a replacement player or not.
Can anybody help me?
If i can get a replacement player, is there a shop that i can visit in person? because i find it insecure to send things to shops by royal mail. If there is can somebody give me the address of the nearest one to me? I li've in Nottingham.
Thanks for help in advance.

My iPhone is acting up again; freezing up during phone calls and now the head phone jack intermittently doesn't work.

I got my iPhone 5 back in February 2013 and for the most part of the year I enjoyed it. Then I started having issues with it. First of all the WiFi randomly quit working. I didn't even update it. So I tried updating it, resetting, and restoring it. While it was under warranty I tried getting the issue fixed, but Apple CS blew me off saying it was accidental damage and I should have gotten Apple Care. This time Verizon covered their *** and replaced the phone for me even though it was out of their 6 month warranty period. I think I posted this experience before.
Now my iPhone is acting up again. It first started freezing up during phone calls and now the head phone jack intermittently doesn't work. Again, resetting, restoring, and updating it did not fix these issues.
<Re-Titled By Host>

The original issue they didn't state exactly why it was Accidental Damage. After running through some troubleshooting, they just stated it was Accidental Damage and that I should file a claim with my insurance, and that Apple Care would have covered it; then closed the request.
I've tried resetting settings, restoring it as new, and that was a no go. When it freezes up during calls I also have to perform a hard reset by pressing and holding both the power and the home buttons to get it functioning at all again(just completely freezes, won't respond to touch or home button.) I noticed that the proximity sensor isn't responding as well, so I have to tilt it away from my ear while in a call to keep from pressing the buttons on the touchscreen with the side of my face. I avoid phonecalls now, and text exclusively.
I don't live anywhere near a Genius Bar so I'm stuck with the online support to Apple. And since I don't have a landline, I get charged for their phone support so I tend not to use it.
Getting two lemons in a row seems coincidental so I'm wondering if it's a bad batch Verizon got then distributed out.

Head phone jack socket

Mine worked fine for 2 years. I can only hear through one ear piece. I have tried all the remedies on this site. Has anyone had this problem fixed by an engineer. I think the jack socket itself is the problem. I have checked the accessibility route and changed the head phones. Could this be built obsolescence. Unit bought Summer 2011.

Can you see anything in the jack such as dirt/lint etc? It may be worth placing the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner hose over it and trying to suck any such debris out.
Also, have you tested your headphones on any other device to rule them out as the cause?
Regards,
Steve

Head phone jack problems

When I plug head phones or an aux cord into my Ipod I get a loud thumping noise while playing the music. Sometimes it goes away. Sometimes it also can speed up my music or play a random song. When I unplugg it, the music still keeps playing. Any suggestions?

Resetting PRAM is not a big deal. It, and running +Repair Disk Permissions+ in Disk Utility, should be the first things you try when trouble-shooting. (I'm not sure why you were stuck at the blue screen for "7 tries" though; that seems a bit odd.)
I didn't suggest +Repair Disk Permissions+ in this case because I did not think it would be relevant for a speaker issue. But you may want to do it at some point, if you have not done so for a while. I do it immediately before running Software Update to install an update.
As for resetting the SMC, that's just unplugging the iMac from power and plugging it back in following a specific procedure.

Again, no big deal. You should not be disconnecting the iMac from power all the time, but sometimes, you have to move it (or you may have a power outage).

Head phone jack broken?

i have a 60gb and have noticed my right side of my head phones has stopped working. i thought it was the new headphones, but tried other pairs and got the same thing. Also tried the headphones on another ipod and they work fine. any one know what is happening to my ipod?

I would suggest getting it fixed. It has a year warranty.
