Macbook thinks headphones are still in

how do i convince my macbook, that the headphones are not in there. i have tryed shutting down with headphones in/ out restarting removing them slowly fast.  i notice the whole where they plug in is lit up red.  please help.
thanks

Sounds like your headphone jack is damaged... try plug in/out your earphones a few times.
If this does not fix this slack joint, well... the headphone jack is connected to your macbook's logic-baord, when it's within warrenty you can bring it to an apple service provider, who will probably replace your logic-board :-/

  • IPhone thinks headphones are still in

    after the first time i worked out after the update, i unplugged my headphones and the phone wouldn't have sound and i kept messing with it and it thinks my headphones r still in! i toggled some switches, changed some settings back and forth and it worked. then it started doing it again...very annoying and sometimes the text sound won't finish all the way. sometimes it'll stop playing my ipod for no reason?

    You need to plug and unplug your headphones about 8 times....to see if that fixes the issue. I have heard of that happening to others....where the iPhone still thinks the headphones are still in and this fixes it for them.

  • Itouch thinks headphones are connected when they aren't

    My itouch (2nd gen)connects well to headphones, but when I remove the headphones it thinks they are still connected. I've tried restarting, resetting, and restoring already. The volume control buttons work, but come up saying there are headphones in when there aren't. The headphone jack is clean too. Anyone have any ideas???

    I have the same problem. Have tried inserting removing headphones multiple times, looking for debris, the water damage indicator is still white, reboot, restore, etc. Still the iPod thinks that the headphones are always attached when they are not.
    This is very frustrating, as it seems many are having this same issue. My iPod Touch is just a little over a year old, and I have taken care of it. It's disappointing that the answer seems to be bad hardware on Apples part.

  • No audio thinks headphones are plugged in

    I have no audio.  WHen I increase the volume I get a display that says headphones. 

    The iPhone believes the headphones are still plugged in. Check to see if there is any debris in the headphone jack. Don't use air to blow down into the headphone jack, as that can cause dirt and debris to be forced into the phone. Try inserting and removing the headphones a couple of times and see if that helps.

  • X201 thinks headphones are plugged in

    Hi folks, I have a Thinkpad X201 (3249CTO) running Windows 7. All was well until yesterday when my laptop suddenly shut down. When I turned it back on, the internal speakers no longer work. I only get sound if I plug in my headphones. I updated all the audio drivers, disabled/enabled them in the Device Manager, and when I go into SmartAudio I'm able to get the internal speakers to make noise so I know the speakers haven't gone out. When I look in Sound in the Control Panel, I only see Speakers as my only playback device, but I seem to recall there used to be another option called Headphones or something. Nothing else is listed there even with "Show Disabled Devices" selected.
    I'm just super confused as to what's going on and what I should do. I think either the headphone jack has stopped working or the sudden restart has changed some weird setting in my laptop to make it think the headphones are in all the time.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • ITunes thinks movies are still on iPad

    I recently moved from iPad 2 to the new iPad. On my old iPad, I had 2 movies synced to it when I did my final backup. When I restored the new iPad from cloud backup, it restored everything except the 2 movies, but still thinks they are on the iPad. In iTunes, no matter how many times I check and uncheck the two movies, they automatically check and show the space used, but does not copy the moves to the new iPad. I even tried deleting the moves from iTunes and re-downloading them, tried marking them unwatched and syncing unwatched movies, made sure the movies were checked in all lists, etc. Yet no matter what I do, I cannot get the moves to re-copy to the new iPad. I even tried clearing the iTunes Store cache.
    Anyone else have this issue? Any other suggestions I could try (short of restoring as a new iPad and putting everything back on)?
    Thanks...RK

    See if any of the following fix it :
    - close the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and see if you can redownload the film when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    - a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    - turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos (under 'show all') 'on' and see if the film then shows in the Videos app with the cloud icon for downloading.

  • HT5858 iPhone thinks headphones are connected

    My iphone 4S with iOS 7.0.2 won't put any sound to the speakers because it thinks there are a headphones connected.  I have some bluetooth headphones, but I have bluetooth disabled.  Any ideas?

    Hi jeberhardt,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend trying these steps if the iPhone incorrectly registers that headphones are plugged in:
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    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.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
    These steps come from the related troubleshooting article:

  • My 2nd gen iPod touch external speakers aren't working because it thinks the headphones are still plugged in.

    The title says it all. I have tried restarting and restoring the ipod and neither worked. I even tried cleaning the headhone jack.

    You headphone jack is defective and needs to be replaced.

  • Songs on ipod randomly disappear but itunes thinks they are still there on ipod

    my ipod recently randomly deleted all my songs on my ipod except for an ep i bought directly from my ipod. I had not synced it in a while so that has nothing to do with it. when i did sync it to try and retrieve all my songs, my itunes still acts as though nothing happened and all my songs are there. i tried turning off and on my ipod and no one seems to have had this happen to them so i dont know what to do. all my apps work and none of my photos got wiped though.

    Does your iPod touch show the shows as still there if you check Settings > General > About? Does that match the number of songs synced from iTunes?
    You can always search Spotlight on the iPod too, to see if its still on there somewhere.
    If you think there is a problem with the software on the iPod touch, try restoring it.

  • Phone thinks headphones are always in?

    I've been having this problem with my iphone where it thinks I have headphones plugged in, but I don't.
    I haven't been able to narrow down an exact pattern, but I tend to use my iphone as an ipod frequently.
    It's also difficult to get the phone to realize the headphones aren't there. Sometimes I need to put the headphones in, and take them out. Sometimes I need to put them in, play a song and take them out. The rest of the time I'll have to power cycle the phone.
    I keep missing calls! Please Help!!!

    If it is determined at the Store that your iPhone needs to be exchanged under warranty, and the particular store has a new or refurbished iPhone in stock, it will be exchanged on site. If not and your iPhone must be sent to AppleCare for the exchange, or the store to received more stock to make the exchange, the Store should have an loaner iPhone available for your to use in the interim. You can use a loaner iPhone with your iPhone's SIM card right away, but you must sync this iPhone with iTunes on your computer to transfer your iPhone settings and data to this iPhone.
    If you were an at&t subscriber prior to getting an iPhone and you still have your old at&t phone, you can use your iPhone's SIM card with this phone temporarily.
    So the the short answer is, you shouldn't be without a phone one way or the other regardless.

  • Updated ios6 and now no sound / Thinks headphones are in!!

    Hi
    I have an ipad 3 32gb wifi that i only bought last week... Everything is fine and loved it but updated it yesterday with ios6... at first it was fine but after a couple of hours it randomly started thinking it had headphones plugged in (never even put headphones in since i got it) and it wont play sound unless i do put headphones in. ive tried system restore, putting some headphones in and out the jack but nothing.. I played tetris for a few minutes and suddenly there was one second of sound, before it disappeared again!!!
    Does anyone else have the same issue?? and if so how do i resolve??
    Thanks

    Same problem here. I have unpluged and restarted, but no sound from optical.

  • Phone thinks headphones are plugged in

    My LG Revolution is convinced that it has headphones plugged in - the little headphone icon is displaying.  If I plug in headphones, I hear sound, but otherwise, I don't.  Plugging in and removing headphones doesn't fix the problem, nor does turning off the phone, removing the battery, then putting the battery back in and turning the phone back on.
    Any idea how I can convince the phone that there are no headphones plugged in?

    Check and make sure there isnt any thing in the port, this is a common issue and usually a user learns that something has fell into the port from being carried in the pocket or coat...   Users has reported resolving the issue with clearing the port by blowing into the port and then pluggin in the headset and then slowly remove the headset.
    Try this...  Hope it helps.

  • IPad thinks headphones are plugged in

    Any ideas?

    I got water in the headphone jack and the ipad wouldn't play sound.  I tried using headphones inserted and removed to trick the ipad and it didn't work. I couldn't find anything fine enough to clean out the jack.  I tried resetting the general settings but it kept saying headphones instead of volume.
    What worked was leaving it upside down, headphone jack down in a bowl of rice overnight so it would absorb any moisture.  That worked! 
    If you can't get it working, best to head into an Apple store and they will clean out the headjack port with blast of air to remove any dirt/ dust.

  • IPad 2 thinks headphones are plugged in

    Yep, this problem again. Resetting doesn't work, neither does plugging head phones in and out over and over again. I've blown it out with compressed air, and I've shoved q-tips and paper clips in there. The iPad just seems to randomly decide that I have plugged my headphones in, then changes its mind and decides I have pulled them out. I really regret not getting a windows tablet.
    What might be helpful (since this keeps happening to people because you've obviously sold them a substandard product) would be to include in one of your seemingly weekly updates an option that allows us to turn off the headphones so that it doesn't recognize them whether they're plugged in or not. That's the only surefire method I can imagine. I can't see myself buying another apple product if this is sorted out somehow.

  • My iphone 4 still thinks my headphones are connected

    my iphone 4 still thinks my headphones are still connected, ive tried blowing it out and sucking on the jack nand taking it out and putting it back in many time and it still wont work, any ideas?

    Have you tried shutting down the phone completely? Restarting it may clear some software setting to allow the headphone jack to realize there's nothing attached.
