My earphone jack got stuck in my iPhone 5?

Basically, I was walking home from school and I was using genuine earpods, and they were faulty anyway (they didn't play music correctly, the artists voices couldn't be heard and I could only hear one instrument) but since I walk alone, it's better than nothing. When I pulled out my earphone jack, it just seemed to disconnect from the rest of the headphone. I'm not sure why. I didn't pull it out weirdly, or snap it, it genuinely just fell apart inside my phone. I have booked an appointment at the Genius Bar, but if they can't solve my problem, will I get a new phone? My phone is still under a year warranty, and having this jack stuck inside my phone is causing a massive problem because I have to use loud speaker during phone calls, and I can't listen to music whatsoever. What will they do?

Only Apple can decide .although user damage is not covered by the warranty and I assume you do not have AppleCare Plus
Worst case is you buy an out of warranty service exchange unit  for $269 in USA
Back up your iPhone completely before apointment in case you go the exchange route
Apple will not back up for you and you will have to make a second trip

    Go to an Apple Store or you're wireless carrier store to have them properly remove the SIM card.

  • Headphone jack got stuck in my apple mac pro

    the headphone jack got stuck in my apple mac pro.. and they are saying i need to change the mother board .. is that true?

    I had the tip break off a headphone plug inside my son's MacBook audio jack. Then it would not play any sounds.
    The professionals at the genius Bar can only propose solutions that they know will be VERY likely to work in fairly short order.  I am under no such constraints. The hopelessness of the situation makes it a little more difficult, but not impossible.
    Since it was already broken, I had nothing to lose, and went after the broken piece with a very fine dental pick.
    After many aggravating minutes of fiddling, I gave up and did something else for a while. I came back to it later and got the broken piece out and everything worked again. YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY.

  • HT201412 The apple logo got stuck on my iPhone, what can i do ?

    My apple logo got stuck while rebooting what can i do tp fix it ?

    Was this a text message, or did you get redirected to that site in Safari? If the latter, that app probably did it, and that should be reported to Apple. I can't imagine how such a scam wouldn't be a violation of the App Store rules. (You can report a problem with an app in the purchase history on a computer in iTunes, though the interface for doing so is quite bad. I'm not sure what you would do if you don't have iTunes on a computer.)
    If it was a text message, be sure to block the sender in Settings -> Messages -> Blocked.

  • A Headphone jack got stuck in my iPad. Any ideas on how I can get it out?

    I was listening to music, and I forced the headphone jack inside, and when I try to get it out, it snapped. any ideas on how I can fix this? can Apple replace my iPad for another one, or can they fix it?

    You are the second person tonight that has done this and reported it on here. I would not tell them that you "forced it in" or that could be considered misuse of the iPad!
    If there is enough of the "metal part" sticking out of the opening, maybe you could remove the piece with a very small pair of plyers or tweezers - but - if you are not at all comfortable with doing that - then don't do it. Take it to an Apple Store and ask them to remove it for you.
    If you do try to remove it - pull straight out from the opening - don't pull out on an angle.

  • Stuck at "verifying iphone software" for hours

    i've searched for this problem before with no answers. updating to 3.0 was a mistake, it got stuck at verifying iphone software and nothing worked. reinstalled itunes and did everything. some old messages suggested i try to install itunes on another computer and try, and it worked. now i have a iphone with everything deleted off it. i used a public computer to do this.
    how do i begin using my iphone back on my laptop, sync it, etc? i know i have my old pictures, etc on my old computer, can i put it back? and what the heck kind of problem is this where apple doesn't have a solution for?

    Hi! This link has helped a lot of our customers:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    If that doesn't fix it it is typically caused by 3G PC card software (Aircard, etc), Internet Service Provider communication software, or internet speed software that modify the default TCP/IP packet size. We would need to edit your registry to get this resolved. If this applies to you call us at 800-MY-IPHONE and one of us will be able to help!

  • Anyone having issues with iphone 5 earphone jack? .

    Got my iphone early this week.  When I plugged in my earphone and only 1 earphone is audible.  Apple stored tested it and found it to be defective and ordered a replacement.  I just got a new replacement.  Came home, unpacked the box and tested my iphone 5.  all looks good but when I plugged in my earphone into the earphone jack, I faced the same issue.  Only the right earphone is working.  the iphone 5 earphone works awesome on my ipad and my nexus.  anyone having this same recurring issue?  or it's just a batch manufacturing defect?

    The problem is still going on. I bought the iphone 5 in December 2012. Right earphone doesn't work. Not sure i'm getting right channel through the speaker either. There is not an Apple store here. Will check with Verizon store tomorrow.    No replies?

    Hello. My iphone 4 got stuck on the itunes logo. I had to restore it and have lost everything. Is there anything I can do to get my photos back?

    Not easily, the recovery mode erases the device, but you can see if any of these data recovery tools may work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689

    The Find my iPhone service option is given to you when you first set up the device. If you just reset it, you may have been given that option. So, in other words, the service may have been enabled even if you didn't realize it. You can then go to www.icloud.com and click on Find my iPhone, and have it play a sound. Or, you can use the Find my iPhone app on your mom's iPhone, but the service would still need to be turned on on your iPod.
    Unlike Compukid said, Apple will not assist in locating a lost device without the Find my iPhone service.
    I found that out 2 years ago, it's just that I thought Apple might have changed that.

    It sounds a lot like your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it prior to your trying to update it.
    If that is the case, it is nowpermanently bricked.

    The iPhone 3G is Not Compatible with iOS 6...
    It also appears that your phone may have been Hacked and / or Jailbroken...
    If this is the case... you are out of luck... Because...

  • HT201263 My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone

    My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. When you go to turn it on, it shows the Apple symbol,  then it goes to the connect to iTunes screen. When I do that, it just says error with the code 9006. I've followed what the Apple site has said to do for it, but the phone is still is the same  state. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone back as soon as possible.

    Hello Hester Emily,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing after this update process.  I found the following article that has more information on the iTunes error code 9006:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Configure your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Take care,
    Alex H.
