Mic "button" function stopped working!?

I keep my headphones really, really neat and nice and don't ball them up, or shove them in my pocket, or treat them badly in any way.
So... why is my mic "click" not clicking?
I can't end phone calls, or stop/start music.
They're fairly new, too.
Any ideas?

If memory serves this has been an issue brought up on this forum several times. Take them to an Apple store for replacement.

  • My iPad 2 home button has stopped working I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the button, I have tried holding the off button then the home button and I was told I could create my own home button in the settings but I can't!

    My iPad 2 home button has stopped working all together, I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the home button, I've tried pressing the off switch then pressing the home button, the other thing I was advised to do was create a home button in the settings under the accessibility option but I don't have the option I was advised to use under there! Help! It's really frustrating having to turn the device off everytim I want to switch apps and I really can't afford to send it away to be mended! Many thanks in advance

    The accessibilty setting that was mentioned is:
    * Enable AssistiveTouch
    Enable AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device:
    Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
    *Note* If you power off the device using the AssistiveTouch panel (tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch button, Device>Lock Screen (tap and hold to power off)), you will NOT be able to power on the device *if your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning*. You will need to connect the powered off device either to a PC's USB port or an external charger to power the device back on.

  • HT201401 Vibrate function stopped working! Help!!

    I have the iphone 3gs and i woke up one morning and it was laying on my bed and it fell of hit the carpet and seemed fine but then vibrate function stopped working now i have seen that giving it a 'whack or a knock' may put it back in place but it hasnt any suggestions as to what i could do or if i was to get it fixed what would need fixing and how much would it cost thanks?!

    Hi pokestate73.
    Have you tried resetting the iPhone? Hold down the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button until the Power Off slide screen appears, disappears, and then the Apple logo appears. Then let go of the buttons.
    If that doesn't work, you'll need to try restoring the iPhone in iTunes.
    If you've already tried these steps, you may need to make an appointment at your local Genius Bar. The vibration mechanism may have died.

  • Need help with magic trackpad.  some touch functions stopped working.  battery full and all touch options checked appropriately.  whats the deal?

    i have tried everything but the tap functions stopped working.  any ideas?

    Update: I mucked about more after making this post; I installed gnome-alsa-mixer and checked the "internal mic" option and "Auto-Mute mode" (both were off), after this my headphone output works again, and does the built-in microphone (!)
    I have no idea how I ended up in this "broken" situation, or even what this option does, or how to use it without gnome-alsa-mixer (I had to install 15 packages to get this, as I normally don't use gnome)... Sound on Linux still seems no better than when I started using it 15 years ago :-( (I spent about 5 hours on this...)

    Hi, EJ13. 
    I see you are having issues with backing up you iPhone and have tried a couple troubleshooting steps.  There are a couple more steps I could recommend in the article below.

  • Copy and paste function stopped working?

    The copy and paste function stopped working on my laptop (ibook g4, OSX 10.3.9). It does not work in any applications, tried MS word, safari, preview.

    Thanks.

    Hi Magno2002
    Your Finder may have lost contact with the clipboard, so try this.
    In ~/library/preferences locate these two files and trash them
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    To re-establish them, log out and log back in again.
    You will need to reset your finder and sidebar as you had them before.

    I don't suppose you have an external keyboard. If you do, test it. If not, try booting in safe mode (shift key down at startup.)

  • HT204266 Why did my lock button suddenly stop working?

    I just recently bought the Iphone 5. Its only been a couple of months and my lock button suddenly stopped working. My Iphone 5 isnt the only one that has done this, I know many other people whose phones have done the same thing. Does anyone know why they are doing this?

    Hey destinyw12,
    I'd take a look at the iPhone hardware troubleshooting article to see if you can resolve the issue with your Sleep/Wake button:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Specifically, you'll want to look into the section titled "Buttons and Switches" which will be applicable to your situation.
    Take care,
    David

  • Autofill function stopped working- Suggestions?

    MacBookPro, OS X - 10.8.5
    Why did my Autofill function stop working? It has always worked fine, but now when I click on the Autofill box that pops up when needed, the box turns blue and then locks on the screen.  No autofill function occurs, the box simply freezes in that screen location and stays there in front screen.  All other functions continue, but the pop-up box remains highlighted blue and frozen in place on the screen.  I can't close it or put behind other windows.  I need to close Safari to eliminate the Autofill pop-up box. 
    Open for suggestions, please.
    Thanks,
    Homey
