My earbuds aren't working in my ipod touch..Help ASAP Please

When I plug in my ear buds onto the jack on the ipod it doesent reconize it and still plays out the speaker instead of the earbuds. When you look into the headphone plugin thing on the ipod is it supposed to be greenish light?

I do not know what the greenish light is about, but regarding the ear buds make sure they are seated properly (pushed all the way down). If you have access to a different set of headphones try those. That way you can rule out a problem with the iPod.

    My beats by dre earbuds won't work on my iPod touch 4th gen but on my iPad, I need help :/

    Do other earphones work on the iPod?
    If not then
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

  • How do you restore your iPod? HELP ASAP PLEASE!!

    Okay, i've had my iPod for awhile, and this is the first problem i've ever had!
    When i plug in my iPod into iTunes, a pop-up comes up and says :
    "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod 'Kelsey's IP."' Use the iPod UPDATER to restore the iPod to Factory settings"
    I have NO idea what that means, i tried to reset it, but nothing happened? I went to preferences, and it doesnt even recognize that my Nano is plugged into the computer anymore! This happened after i plugged my Nano in, took it out of the connector, and then plugged it in again, and it didn't recognize it! PLEASE HELP ME! I don't know how to fix this & Don't know what i need to do to fix this!
    THANK YOU

    Hello Kelsey!
    Before you do a restore, first try to get your computer recognizing your iPod by putting it into disk mode, then connecting it to your computer again. See the details laid out here:
    How to put your iPod into disk mode
    Also, see these articles:
    iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
    iPod does not appear in "My Computer" or in iTunes
    If you believe you need to restore your iPod, then I'll explain here how to restore your iPod.
    Plug in your iPod.
    Close iTunes if it is currently running.
    Go to: "START -> All Programs -> iPod -> iPod Updater [the date of your iPod Updater's version]".
    Open the iPod Updater. When it recognizes your iPod, click on the "Restore" button. Restoring should take about 5 minnutes.
    Note that restoring your iPod will delete all the contents off of it, but will not affect your iTunes library.
    If you have any trouble with restoring your iPod, or need any other explanation, just post back, and I'll be here to help you...I hope this helped!

  • Can't download videos I bought on iTunes. Lack of space but I already erased lots of applications and still not working.. Can you help ASAP please as I can't watch videos anymore..

    Hi,
    I bought the last version of IPad that came out recently ( I bought it 3 weeks ago). It is a 16GB.
    So far I love this product, but I 'm getting stuck with movie downloads from iTunes.
    Indeed I just ordered 3 movies in HD and they don't download as the message "error lack of space" come up.
    So I made some space on my IPad, erased most of my music (only 156 MB left), I had pages, I erased it but really I 'm loosing $11..., I erased all the movies I had before, and much more. Now what I don't understand is that I have only 3GB available when my following applications don't even take the 10.3GB of used space:
    Music: 156 MB
    Skype: 34,2 MB
    Sleep well: 16.6 MB
    Calculator: 11,8 MB
    Voice memos: 9,8MB
    Iswifter:  6,2 MB
    And Video says no Data
    There is no extra application, so it is really strange it is doing this. I tried to reset and restart many times with no success. I also tried to look at the previews of the videos I bought and tried to redownload them but the same message come up.
    Now apart of the strange lack of space on my IPad, I understand that the videos I wanted to download were in HD and therefore too big.
    What I would like to do is to shift to download to SD but I can't do it and also can't erase the downloads...
    I wonder if the downloads are actually not already taking space even tho they haven't even been able to charge some information (they are not even downloaded half way or anything like that).
    Unfortunately I don't have a computer to download my IPad to, so I could try to manipulate the videos purchased from there. I'm traveling and now I can't watch movies anymore which is very annoying...
    Also I checked my multi tasking is off....
    Could you please help me as soon as possible on this?
    Thanks a lot,
    Julie

    According to the trms of the iTunes and app stores - all sales are final. but that doe not mean that you can't try anyway. People ask for refunds all the time. Use the Express Lane email to contact iTunes.

    You can still download the other movies in iTunes on your computer. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Check for Available Downloads. You can download them in iTunes and then sync them to the iPad later. When you are done watching the first movie, you can transfer it into iTunes on your computer, delete it from the iPad and you will have the room for another movie on the device. To transfer the movie when you are done with it, you can use the transfer purchases feature.
    Transfer purchases.

  • Earbuds aren't working again with phone

    hello, once again my earbuds aren't working with my phone. this was happening last weekend. i tried various headphone with phone to no avail but they and the original iphone earbuds worked just fine with computer. monday i took to phone to apple store and they restored phone and buds worked fine. came home setup as new phone, put everything back on it and worked for a bit and once again not working. I'm wondering if they aren't working because of the latest software version (5.1.1) because they were working fine before then.
    Anyone having a problem? I can't afford a new phone at this time.

    if when you restore and it works that means it is software related when you then restore from a back up you just took all the soft ware that was on the phone and put it back. meaning what ever cause it not work is now back on your phone causeing it not to work agian. In situation like this its not 100% that you can use your back up because what ever cause the issuse may be on that back up

  • My Griffin fm transmitter stoped working with my Ipod Touch.

    My Griffin FM transmitter used to work with my IPod Touch but then it suddenly stopped working. A message pops up saying "This Accessory is Not Supported by IPod Touch" but that doesn't make sense since it worked a few hours before hand. The FM Transmitter still works on my IPod classic though, so I don't understand why it suddenly stopped working on my Ipod Touch. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Why exchange email will not work on my ipod touch, but ok on iphone

    Why will microsoft exchange email not work on my ipod touch, but with the exact same settings, it works fine on my iphone? What is the reason for this?

    Try a soft reset, press and hold both power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, about 15 seconds, then release both. If still no joy, go into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still no joy, back up your iPod to your computer then do a Restore to Backup, if that doesn't work Restore to new through iTunes. If a full restore to new does not work, you may have a hardware issue, contact Apple Genius Bar to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

  • How do I get this beta IOS 7.0.2 JUNK TO WORK with my iPod touch 5???

    How do I get this beta IOS 7.0.2 JUNK TO WORK with my iPod touch 5?? I was prefectly happy with my iPod until I got the notice to upgrade itunes to 11.1 and would you like to upgrade your iPod from IOS 6 to IOS 7. And like an idiot I took the little green pill and pushed the button. Now I can't open iTunes, some apps; like the Lindsey Sterling app, Safari and Disney don't work either (not that I care about the Disney one, but, it's part of the base setup, you'd think "IT" would work!) almost anything with video links will not open, iCloud can't find me. All I get is that annoying white screen. I'M NOT HAPPY! I could have bought a Windows machine for a lot less money and have the same problems!?! (I'll bet Mr. Jobs is spinning like a top right now!)  And I have goggled-- found a few fixes: re-install, restore, etc. found one that stated to get iTunes back to go into the iPods setting by double ckicking the home button go to iTunes app and sign out, then sign in again-- those options didn't work.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • I have an iPod touch and an iPad4. iTunes lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't show me what's on the iPad. Any ideas?

    I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?

    Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

  • Is there some way to make the iPad Camera Connection Kit work on the iPod touch?

    I bought the Camera Connection Kit because a tech said it would work with my iPod Touch, but I get the message that the iPod does not support that connection. I would really like itt to work because I have used an older iPod to back up photos while on vacation. I would simply connect the camera up to the iPod and it would download all the photos from the camera. It was an excellent way not to have to buy lots of SD cards. This kit has a slot for an SD card and I could copy directly from that. So if anyone out there knows how I could make it work, I'd appreciate your input.

    Is your MacBook Pro new?  Did it come with Lion preinstalled?  If not do you have the iDVD application in the Applications folder? 
    If not I suggest you purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from Amazon.com or eBay.com or other 3rd party supplier.  Apple does not sell iDVD any more and those items are getting harder to get.
    Once you obtain iDVD go to iPhoto and bring up the slideshow.  Then use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option. That will send the slideshow to iDVD from which you can burn a video DVD disk. 
    I suggest you follow this workflow while working in iDVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
