My 3gs headphones only play music after upgrade

the clicker on the headphone cable now does nothing since upgrading iphone 3gs to ios5 - any ideas why and how to fix this, they still alow music through.its definatley the upgrade.
thanks
Steve

You can try cleaning it with the shaft part of Q-tip.. Just make sure that you do not leave parts of the q-tip in the jack. However, the headphone jack does "break" sometimes and replacement is required. A third-party place like this one is less expensive than Apple since Apple will only exchange your iPOf for a fixed price depending upon the capacity.

Unable to send text and play music after upgrading to IOS 6.1

After upgrading to IOS 6.1, I am having problems sending text messages (sms) to several of the contacts to whom I was able to send text earlier. Also all the songs I have downloaded previously from iStore have all stopped playing. Being a new IPhone convert I am seriously regretting why I got rid of my Blackberry

I can understand how you are upset, MJ406. I want to make sure that we do everything we can to get the text messages up and running with out any kind of problems.
When you are trying to send these text messages out are you connected to Wi-Fi or the cell network? If you are connected to wi-fi please do me a favor and turn of the wi-fi, try to send a text to see if it goes out without any kind of issues. Then go into Settings, Application Manager, Slide the screen to the ALL section, Scroll to Messaging and perform a force stop, clear cache, and clear data. Once that is done, power the device off and then turn back on. Once it is back up and running you can turn the wi-fi back on (if you had to turn it off) and retry sending a text message again.
Please keep us posted.

ITunes No Longer Plays Music after upgrade to 10.7.3

Since upgrading to Lion 10.7.3, music has stopped playing in iTunes. I double click on a tune, and it looks like it is playing but there is no sound and the little progress bar doesn't advance across the screen. I can play the tunes in the latest version of QT Player. Any idea what might be going on? I am running M-Audio studio monitors through a FocusRite Scarlett DA/AD USB converter box.

Well, after a complete re-start, the problem has gone away. Now I just need to sort out audio and video problems with Skype and FaceTime. But that's for another section of this board. Sorry for the false alarm.

External Hard Drive won't play music after upgrade

I have all my music and iTunes on an external hard drive and it worked great unitl I upgraded to iTunes 10. Now it says it can't play the music because it is from an earlier version of iTunes. PLEASE HELP!!

Same here, but I can play everything that I own, but can't play rentals. I think that is the reason because it is on an external hard drive. iTunes is to big for my MBP hard drive. Not sure what the problem is.

Iphone 3gs does not sync music after upgrading to IOS 5

I upgraded my Iphone 3GS to IOS 5. This introduces Icloud. Since doing so, I have not been able to sync my music. I get the error message "unable to sync - not enough free space (additional 8.4 GB required). This is the same size as the music I want to load to my phone, which was fine before the upgrade. Any help gladly received. Thanks

Does anyone have any solution???

My ipod fourth generation only play music through headphones cant play on it's internal speaker

my ipod fourth generation only play music through headphones cant play on it's internal speaker

- Insert/remove the headphne plug a dozen times or so. Clean out/blow out the headphone jact.
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- A reset. Nothing is 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. You likey have a bad headphone jack.

My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested. How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
Peace,

IPod only playing music through one earphone

My ipod (5th gen) is only playing music through one earphone! Its definitely not the earphones because they work perfectly fine in my iphone. What could the problem be?

first off try a different set of headphones, just because they work in x doesn't mean they will work in y. Second try cleaning it- blowing in it, compressed air, more than likely there's a piece of lint or dirt stuck in there. reset, update or restore the ipod. at your own risk you could check to see that all internal connections are seated properly as these zif connectors can come loose. if nothing you probably need a new audio jack

Beats Music after upgrade

Has anyone else experience any issues with the music after the upgrade? What's happening to me is my beats ear buds no longer control the music. I can not start or stop the music via the beats ear buds. If I'm listening to music and get a call it will not longer stop for me to talk on the phone, the music continues to play in the back ground, I have to stop the music manually in order to talk on the phone. The main purpose of the beats phone was the music,so to me this is a major disappointment.

I have an HTC Rezound with the beats earbuds.

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point. The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge. The initial green light shows a good charge. The red light means the battery is drained.
Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds. Then, turn it back ON. This resets the shuffle. Does it play again? If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again. Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays. Then, connect it to power and charge it to full. See if that makes any difference.
If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery. If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.

I have an ipod touch and it will not longer charge on the dock it only plays music

I was uploading music to my ipod touch 4th generation (I only use this ipod to stay docked all the time to my speackers)
Since I updated my ipod touch to ios 6.1.6 it does not charge it only plays music but it does not charge why is this happening I think is a bug that has the ios 6.1.6 I dont have old speackers I brought them in 2012 they are the sony RDP-XF100ip, it allways worked fin and scince I updated it it does not work.
I also have an old ipod nano and I thought that the dock burned but it did charged the ipod nano
Thanks.

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
Sometmes this works
- 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.
Otherwise go to the dock manufacture's support site. Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you will have to wait for either an iOS update (very unlikely) or an update to the firmware on the dock
