My audio in jack only lets me use apple headphones

If I want to listen to music through headphones, they have to be apple. Any others won't work. When I try to use an audio in cord to play music through external speakers that won't work either. I've tried this with three sets of apple headphones and several audio in cords/other brand headphones.
It hasn't always been like this, and I don't remember it being like this before updating to Mavericks but I'm not confident that's the problem

Hello MorganOToole,
The steps detailed below can help get your headphone jack working correctly.
No sound through stereo headset
Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
Try a different song or video.
Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

My 4 gig MuVo will only let me use 224 megabyt

I have a Nomad MuVo2 4.0 gig and I can put music on it but it will only let me use 224 mb. I updated the firmware, drivers, and I reformatted it more than once. I've also tried using different programs to load music but none can put on more than like 50 because of the memory issue.... Please help, i dont want to have to buy another one. -matt

Hi Littlescroll
Other MuVo players have a problem if too many files are placed in the root folder of the device. I'm not sure if this applies to your MuVo2 as it has a HDD but if you do access it using folders (does it appear as a dri've letter in Windows Explorer?) then the solution is to create sub-folders beneath the root folder and put your files there. You don't have to go as far as creating separate folders for each album - a single Music folder with everything else inside it will work.
Apologies if I have got it wrong about the way the MuVo2 works.

HT204291 Does anyone know why when streaming a movie from my iMac the screen on my tele goes grey but I still get audio. It only happens when using the DVD application on the mac. iPhoto streams fine.

You are prevented from Airplay mirroring certain things like DVD content as the material is usually protected so you get a checkerboard type display. I think there is a theoretical risk that the Airplay stream could be intercepted and the protected video copied, albeitin lower quality.
Apple may be being cautious or are required to do so with the DVD player app by movie studios/licensing authorities. It makes no sense to the average consumer who is just trying to send their purchased DVD to the TV via the computer and AppleTV.
Playback in something like VLC should work - not tried it myself but others have commented it doesn't have the restriction.

Audio out jack only plays sound in the right speaker.

Whenever I plug anything (speakers, earphones, etc.) into the Audio Output jack, it only plays sound through the right speaker/earphone. The left speaker/earphone hardly has any sound at all.
How should I go about fixing this problem?
It ***** and it's annoying. At first, I thought it was just my earphones but they work perfectly fine with my iPod and other devices.

HI Chris,
my daughter has the ipod touch 4th generation and it started only having sound come out of the right speakers in both of my vehicles. I read also it could be a broken socket causing it. Do you know about this? How does one break a socket and how would I repair that? The person on y*hoo answers said to either send it to apple refurbished unit or replace it. Replace it? Really? It's a 64 GB ipod touch that I won at work with reward points which is the only reason I could afford it. Looking for better solution like your's above but I'm worried I will have to send it in. I was looking on my iphone 4 and noticed the volume balance was under Settings>General>Accessibility so I guess it's different on an ipod touch?

Headphone jack only works for right half headphones

I had connected my MacBook Pro to a set of speakers using the headphone jack. Ever since then when I use headphones the jack only outputs sound to the right side. There is no red light coming from the jack and I've also tried resetting the SMC but nothing has changed. Any ideas of what it could be?

I had the same problem but fixed it....go to settings , then scroll down to General, then scroll down to Accessibility , then scroll down to where it says L______________R , you will see a circle and blue line, drag this circle as it controls sound for left and right, it should sit in the middle of L and R , if it sits all the way on L or R it affects the sound coming out of the L or R earphones ,

My second creative cloud only lets me use trials. I have tried everything to get it to allow me to use it on both like it should. Please help

I have creative cloud on my lap top but downloaded the second on my desktop. It is only allowing me to use the trial of After effects and I have tried everything and it still won't let me. It keeps asking for a serial number.

make sure you used the correct adobe id (the one you used to subscribe).
if you did, check for connectivity problems, Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
if that fails to reveal the problem,

I have bought ipads for my kids, so far i can only let them use my apple id and this means that any apps they download sync to my apple id, the problem is that one game they want to play wont allow them to have seperate profiles?? can anyone help?

i have an ipad mini, i have bought them for my kids too.
how can i get them seperate profiles so they can use or play their own apps and not sync with my account.
i have tried to create seperate apple ids but this wont let me due to their ages.
i have turned on and off home sgaring but this made no change.
any ideas??

Apple has a reptutaion of maintaining a high level of privacy and security. This means that accounts are not meant to be shared, though they can be, and defintitely not merged.
That does not come without a price however.
I completely understand that the kids would want their own profiles when playing games, but app developers are required to follow apple's protocols in order to distribute their apps via apples app store and be used on their products.
I'm going to go out on limb here and say the apple has chosen to put the job of parenting in the hands of parents.
What I do know is that as the kids get older and everybody gets their own devices and accounts, it will be a lot easier and lot less confusing when everyone has their own apple id. (especially when they start having their own contacts, calendar events and everyone in the home is syncing to icloud)

When I try to map faders to the volume in audio tracks it only lets me map the "selected track"

LogicX user. I'm trying to map my mpd32's faders up with four audio tracks to control their volume. For the first three tracks, I can map the faders accordingly, and in the Controller Assignments window, in the "channel strip" section on the right, they all say "fader bank (1-3)", which is correct. When I get to the fourth audio track, and I go through the same steps as I have to map the first three audio tracks, the channel strip section says "selected track: 1" instead of what I thought it would say: "fader bank 4". When I try and manually change that to "fader bank 4", I move the control that I want it to be mapped to, it and the text automatically switches back to saying "selected track 1". I made sure that none of the tracks that I was trying to map were selected before I did this. I'm not new to logic by any means but I seriously need to be able to control these all at the same time for a performance I'm trying to do soon. It is driving me ******* crazy.

MySQL will only let me use backticks (not single or double quotes)

What the hell is going on here? This worked fine until a recent update.

(table prints normally here)
12 rows in set (0.00 sec)
The error happens both in the mysql client, phpmyadmin, and all my php scripts. How do I make it accept single and double quotes?
Phpmyadmin has this to say about the mySQL installation

Hello
In the SQL Standard, table and column names don't have to be between quotes, only values can be (for instance if you have spaces in a value).
Just call "SELECT * FROM table;", that's all.
