Microphone doesn't work , can someone help me ?

I have an ipod touch 5g, running iOS 7.1.1  . I think i have a problem with my microphone as siri does not work (it can't hear my voice) neither can the dictaphone or even shazam. Is there any solution to make it work or is it that my mic is broken or damage ?

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle or changs in the moving waveform graph with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                               
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    And is there any way to sync all my purchases and accounts to just have one... It is a bit stupid that you dont even get a list of something of what account you may of used, or some kind of hint, so you could log on to the right account. I am really stuck ...
    Please Advise......

    You can't merge accounts. But you can check your purchase history:

    Assuming you have (1) signed out, then (2) waited 30 minutes and it didn't work you will need to contact iTunes again.

  • My iphone 4 is frozen on the slide to unlock screen. ive tried the sleep/awake button home button but it doesnt work can someone help me :)

    my iphone 4 is frozen on the slide to unlock screen. ive tried the sleep/awake button home button but it doesnt work can someone help me

    By the slide to unlock screen, are you talking about the slider at the bottom of the screen after taking out of sleep mode?
    And by trying the sleep/wake button and home button, are you talking about a reboot by holding both the power/sleep button and the home button until the apple logo appears and it reboots?  And that does not help release the issue with the slider?
    Are you sure the iPhone is well charged?
    If none if this helps, have you tried syncing/backing up to a compter and then restore by iTunes on a computer?
    If you cannot do any of this it would be good to schedule a visit to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs try their hand and diagnostics.

  • Bluetooth Mouse and keyboard STILL Not working can someone help me?

Since i have installed leopard months ago it was working fine but then my mouse and keyboard stopped pairing with my Powerbook it recognises the devices but the refuse to pair i changed the batteries and installed the software that cam ith the keyboard and mouse and still nothing works.
    Can someone help me please

    After updating to 10.5.2 I am still experiencing problems with my Apple wireless mouse and keyboard. This is a Leopard issue ( here is just one blog on the topic
    http://aralbalkan.com/1086 ) in 2005 I purchased a Mac Mini which I love and never experienced a Bluetooth problem till I installed Leopard several months ago, now at least once a week, on average 2-3 times a week, I loose connection with the keyboard or the mouse and it takes awhile to re-establish the connection. I was hoping the last upgrade would address this issue but no such luck.

  • Faxing to multiple fax numbers ...it doesn't work, can you help?

    Hi,
    I need to send one fax to multiple recipients. In the Help section, it says that once I've opened the FAX window, I can open the address book by clicking on the address book icon. That works, but when I click on a group or even just one address I get a beep sound and no results. So it's not letting me. I tried on another Mac and got the same thing. I CAN type in a fax number , but I don't want to sit there and type in all the fax numbers every time. The fax help SAYS I can, but I can't. Does anyone know why this isn't working? Can someone help? Thanks!!!!!!
    Karen

    Try resetting it. Hold down the Sleep and the Home buttons until the Apple logo displays on the screen.  This will not have any effect on your data.

    I am Using a MacBook Pro 13", While i was working my scree has just gone white. I tried restarting my MacBook. But still the screen is just showing a white color. Can someone help me out?

    "However, at a LAN party a few months ago, a friend pointed out some issues with my screen on the left hand side."
    So um..... you never saw these flaws until this friend pointed them out?
    Apple Stores are not the only place to have Macs repaired. You can take your comp to your local AASP. First you should call AppleCare like the previous poster stated.

  • IPhone 4S microphone doesn's work! Please Help!

    My IPhone 4S is about a year and a half old and I got it last february. Now my microphone is not only not working in calls, but it doesn't work in apps either. It only works some of the time in my camera when i'm taking videos and in speaker phone during calls. I don't know what's wrong with it but I guess I'm not the only person with this issue. Also apparently Apple does absolutely nothing about it and just tell you to buy a new one. It seems like all IPhone 4(S) users have this problem eventually. Recently I took my phone off of insurance because of the cost before realizing that it doesn't work properly. Does anyone have suggestions or ways to fix this issue? I definitely cannot afford a new phone right now and i will definitely not be looking into another IPhone when i get an upgrade. Also, does anyone with the 5 have these problems after this long? Apple needs to fix this or they will lose me and possibly many more as a customer.

    It seems like all IPhone 4(S) users have this problem eventually.
    Nonsense.

    Do the basic troubleshooting steps.  If they don't work, there is a hardware problem.
