My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones.  Is there a problem with the ipod?

My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones.  I've tried other headphones.  Is there a problem with her ipod?

First make sure the headphones are plugged in all the way in (it takes a bit of force to get the solid click sound) and sound balance is set in the middle. Second, test the headphones on another device to see if they operate correctly and test the iPod with the original Apple earphones that came with the iPod to see if it works correctly. Lastly, if you are using third-party headphones, make sure that their plug is iPod compatible.

    Plug it in for 15 minutes. If it doesn't come on hold the HOME button (the round one) and the SLEEP button (the one on the top) at the same time until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). If nothing appears on the screen after 30 seconds you have a dead phone; take it back for exchange.

  • My iPad has recently been kicking me out of my apps quite frequently.  Is there a problem with the iPad 1 that doesn't support the apps?

    I have an iPad 1 & have been playing games on it for about a year and a half...recently I am having trouble with getting kicked out of various apps & it happens quite frequently.  Is this something that could be related to the iPad1 since we are now up to an iPad 3?  Are the apps having troubles because of the generation, or is it the app itself.....I just want it fixed & don't have any reason nor inclination to upgrade to a 3 right now.  Anyone experiencing something similar?  What do I do?

    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.

  • I have bought a docking station and my iphone works fine but my ipod mini seems to fit on the connection but only works intermittently. Is it a different connection or is there a problem with the ipod?

    I have bought a docking station and my iphone works fine but my ipod mini seems to fit on the connection but only works intermittently. Is it a different connection or is there a problem with the ipod?

    I think that is happening is that the microphone is on during this recording.  If you play the music through the iPhone speakers, it will record this sound, albeit at very poor quality.  If you say anything (or laugh uproariously as I did while watching the app in action, then that, too, get recorded.
    I am still looking for the solution we all want, which is to save the audio in reasonable quality.
    Anyone out there with some ideas?
    Cheers,

  • Intel iMac sound only works out of one speaker, but both headphones...

    Hello.
       I've run into a very interesting problem with the sound of my 20" Intel iMac's sound. Ever since I moved into my new appartment, my Logitech computer speakers have only worked out of the left speaker. The strange bit is that if I plug any pair of headphones into the same jack I get perfect sterio sound. I've check my sound preferences to make sure the sound is balanced, checked multiple pairs of headphones (that are all known to work perfectly), multiple pairs of computer speakers (that are all known to work perfectly), I even plugged in my M-Audio fast track USB audio interface with the same results (left channel only with speakers, sterio with headphones) Another weird thing is that I tested both pairs of computer speakers with my roommate's 20" Intel iMac (same model) and both worked just fine.
      I feel like I've run the gambit of things I could do to eliminate a faulty component. Do you think I have a faulty jack? something wrong with my software/hardware? I'm completely stumpped...anyone have any ideas?

    You've done a lot of testing such that it sounds like the jack and plug combination of the Logitechs and the iMac are just a hair short now, and the move is the only thing that changed. Can you compare the headphone plug and the Logitech plug side by side for length? Is one of them a straight plug and the other a 90 degree such that it can't get all the way in now? I'm sure you've tried pushing it in extra hard or wiggling a bit. One guy on here awhile back sent pix of his headphone port and the one right beside it on the back of his iMac, and the headphone one was recessed slightly deeper into the iMac's body.

  • Why does my headphones only work out of one side on my iphone?

    When I put my headphones into any device i have, both sides of the headphones work, except when using my iphone. When I play music in my ipad and computer with the same headphones they work perfectly fine. Then when I put them into my iphone only the right side works. I just don't understand why the one side works but the other one doesn't. I know it isnt my headphones, because they work perfectly fine in any other device. Someone please help me.

    I have the same problem, except, weirdly, I have it with respect to my iMac, my iPhone and my iPad all at the same time.  It is afflicting multiple outputs (both speakers and earphones) so I know it's some kind of problem with the devices.  I can't believe all the jacks are broken, but I also can't find any way to modify the balance settings on the mobile devices.

  • 5th Generation iPod only plays out of one speaker

    So I have an 5th generation iPod and have never had ANY problems with it apart from the usual freezing and a few odd corrupt songs. I've had this iPod for five years now and for the longest time I thought that my iPod dock was broken because whenever I put my iPod on, it only came out of the left speaker so in specific songs you could only hear half of the people singing.
    I recently bought a new dock but have come to the realization that it is no in fact the dock but my iPod.
    I have checked multiple other discussions and no one has had this exact problem because through the headphone jack and with any headphones or connections from the jack it plays perfectly through both the Left and the Right.
    I think it's something to do with the bottom outlet that connects to the dock because if I move it at a certain angle, it works. However, it's very inconvenient because the angle doesn't stay and eventually the iPod shifts and the right speaker cuts out again.
    I've had this iPod for 5 years and it works PERFECTLY just not on a dock ! Please help so I don't have to go buy a new one. Thanks.

  • Does your music only play out of one speaker?

    I was only hearing music played out of the left channel, either with or without headphones and also when played through a dock. 
    I found the solution:
    Go to Settings : General : Accessibility and slide the L - R slider to the middle.  Now the music plays out of both the L and the R speakers.
    (If you tap the mono button there, then you will also hear sound out of both speakers, but you won't hear stereo effects, so don't do that).

    Yes, that is a helpful addition to this thread, but my solution has to do with the speakers and the headphones that are plugged into the iPhone, as well as the stereo effect coming out of the iPhone itself.  When the accessibility slider is not in the middle, then you only hear one channel of the stereo program whether fromt he iPhone or from plugged in speakers.

  • My ipod's music quality is inferior. It doesnt have the surround sound/ left and right audio channel unlike my brothers ipod? is there a problem with the chip?

    I have an ipod touch 4g (8GB), I got this about 2.5 months ago, the same time my brother get his. My problem is that I noticed that audio quality is better on his device than mine. I have been listening to music and had different music devices before (non-Apple product and mobile phone) and the quality of music is better when I used to listen to those devices as well as my brother's ipod touch. Im referring to the left and right audio channels. Im not so good about the technical stuff but the best explanation I can give you is in a music or a movie, there's an effect wherein you can here a sound only at the left ear phone/speaker that you cant hear at the right earphone/speaker. I mean for example in a song, a guitar intro can be heared only at the left
    ear while the background music plays on the other ear. Or when theres and echo effect on the song that alternates sound on the left and right ear. I hope youre getting what Im trying to say. Im bothered that my ipod is fake or has an internal problem on the chips or something because I didnt bought this at an Apple Center/Mac Center. I bought it on a retailer. I am not able to visit any store or Genius Bar  or contact an apple specialist through phone because of my work schedule and work load.  I have contacted the retailer before when I tried to return it for replacement or repair but he told me that it is under Apple's warranty, not theirs. I do hope that I can get a help from you because I want to really enjoy my device. Thank you and Im looking forward for the responce/assistance form you.

    I suggest you don't apply pressure to the screen - it's a Touch - you touch the screen not push it.

  • Is there a problem with the my iPod touch?

    Hey guys,
    I have had my iPod touch since Christmas and have been experiencing a problem with it ever since. So here is the problem: Sometimes I will listen to music, then pause it, click the button to turn of the screen, but I do not turn it off... Later, when I come back to it, I try to turn the screen on, but it does not turn it. The only way I can turn it on is by holding the top button and the home button to reset it. Is this supposed to happen? It gets kind of annoying and I know it is not turning off because of battery level, so can some one please help me with this problem? Thanks

    you should be able to just click the sleep/wake button once or the home button to get the screen to wake up again. but not both at the same time. If your ipod is in 'sleep mode'...meaning its still on but the screen is off....and it does not want to turn back on....then i would contact apple about this so they can either decide to give you a new one or fix it since your still under the warranty.

  • My ipod will only play out of one headphone

    i know it is not the headphones because i have brought new ones twice now and the right headphone still wont play... does anyone have any help or do you think apple will try to fix it?

    I have the same problem but my warranty has run out, anyone have any suggestions? I've tried different headphones and its definately the socket you plug headphones into on the ipod thats the problem.
    I'd prefer not to just get a new ipod when all that seems to be wrong is the headphone jack!
