My 3g iPhone, Thinks my speakers are still attached?? :/

*I've bought the iPhone recently and till the first month it was working fine THEN...my SPEAKERS were not working, as in- if i turn on a song there wont be audio but my phone would think that there is...or if I get a call i would only hear my iPhone vibrate :s... I tried googling the problem and what i found was threads/questions about iphones thinking the headphones are still attached even though their not.*
*So it was a very weird error i thought it would go away with time but it didnt, so today i got fed up and decided to do something about it.... i always leave the "go to the apple store" as a last option... I saw a tutorial online that by applying windex (cleaning spray thingy) on a peace of ear stick and sticking it inside the iphone (where we place the headphones) it would clean it up and my iphone would be back to normal*
BUT....
it wasn't as a matter of fact, now my iphone says that the speakers are still attached, again i've tried googling it and i got the whole "stick in the speakers and stick them out reallll fast a couple of times -I tried that but it didnt work..) Now, i don't know if should be happier or sadder? i mean, sure its still a problem but atleast it's more common!
So im terribly sorry for the long message but i wanted to get everything out there (this is my first time to use these forums, i strongly hope i'm using it right? ).
Thankyou

hold the phone upside down, plug in our ear buds, unplug.
rinse and repeat with the plugging in and unplugging about 10-15 times.
this should fix it.

I have "un-synched" all music on my iPhone 5s, but there are still some albums that I can't delete. Suggestion?

I have "un-synched" all music on my iPhone 5s, but there are still a few albums that were not deleted. When I check "On This Phone" in iTunes, those albums that remain show in dark print, while those deleted remain a lighter text. I have followed suggestions by others as to how to delete "All" music on the phone, but nothing has worked. Any suggestions? Thanks!

First of all... You don't need a credit card to make an Apple ID.
To buy Paid apps, you can use an iTunes card or an Appstore card.
Also, I'm not sure you can download music you got from email to your music on your phone.
However, I think you can download the music you got from your email on your computer, transfer it to iTunes, and then sync your phone. That should work.
And I don't think you can share files via bluetooth with other phones.

i lost my iphone but my contacts are still on icloud how do i transfer them to my gmail account without my phone ?

You would't be able to do this with the iPhone.
You can access your iCloud online contacts with a supported address book app on your computer. Export the contacts from there for import into your Gmail online address book.
Or you can login with your iCloud account via webmail access using a browser on your computer. There is an option for selecting all contacts followed by exporting all as a single vCard file on your computer. If Google supports importing vCards, you can import the contacts that way.

I had deleted some Apps on my iOS Devices (iPad mini and iPhone 5), but they are still in the Cloud. How can I delete them in the Cloud, too ?

Hallo together,
I had deleted some Apps on my iPhone and iPad, but they are still in the Cloud. My First iPhone was a 2, my Second a 4S and now I use a 5. With the 2 I had used a different Apple-ID, but I put some Apps via Backup from one Apple-ID to another. As I get a Message by furtherly Backups, that some Apps are not can be saved because the Apple-ID is no longer on that PC registred, I had deleted this Apps to get they new for the actually Apple-ID. But I'm not shure, when I install them now, that they are working under the correct Apple-ID.
Any Ideas to solve the Probs ?

I have unchecked the "Sync Music" option in iTunes, and so I assumed that meant there would zero songs synced to my iPhone. Howver, there are still 223 random songs on my phone. How do I actually remove all the songs?

As you can see, in this photo I have the "Sync Music" button unchecked and yet when I sync my phone (in the hopes that I will be getting rid of all the songs) there are still 223 songs left on my phone, taking up space that I need.
How do I truly get rid of these songs, or is this just a weird glitch? I would have assumed that by unchecking "Sync Music" that meant there would be no more MUSIC left on my phone, but that is not the case.
Thanks in advance!
Amy

Hello amyb3213,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If I understand your post correctly, you are wondering why you still have songs on your iPhone even though you have disabled music syncing in iTunes. After disabling syncing, did you press sync to then apply those sync settings? Are the songs on your iPhone ones that you have downloaded from iTunes in the Cloud?
You can manually delete songs from your iPhone by following the steps below.
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

HT203167 I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4. They are still on my computer, but won't re-transfer back to the phone. I'm using the correct iTunes account. How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?

How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?
I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4. The ringtones are still on my computer and play in iTunes, but they won't re-transfer back to the phone. I'm using the correct iTunes account on both my computer and phone. In the iPhone view of iTunes on my computer, it shows that my phone recognizes that I had those ringtones, but there is an exclamation mark showing that my phone can't find the files. I can't delete these "placeholders" from my phone with the hopes of re-transfering the files back to the phone, either. I cannot just simply re-transfer the files from my computer back to the phone. It won't let me using the regular synch options and I can't find anything in the menus of iTunes to help me out either.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Ignore. I figured it out:)

Deleted playlists from my iphone 6, but songs are still there and are on my pc. Where are my playlists?

After adding itunes match, some of my playlists are disappearing from my iphone 6. The songs are still in the phone, and the playlist is still on my PC. Why are they being deleted?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

My phone thinks the headfones are still in so all is muted how do i fix

ANy ideas on how to fix fone as it still thinks the headfones are in so I cannot hear anything, I have to put on loudspeaker

You could try cleaning the headphone jack with a toothpick or similar - mine was once full of fluff from a jacket.

Audigy2 NX thinks my speakers are headphon

so,
i bought the audigy 2 MX for my laptop, and the creative 7. t7700 speaker system. when i hook everything up all i get is two sides, my sound card thinks the side speakers are headphones. i tryed going into the settings and changing them, but when i set it to 7. it wont play a sound. as of now i just unhook the grey/side speaker wire, and i li've with a 5. setting. please offer a suggestion! thanks.
>BenKHS

BenKHS,
Sounds weird to me. Perhaps you can try cleansweep to properly uninstall and reinstall the sound card. Follow the steps from Knowledgebase.

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.
