My headphone jack is unresponsive and audio still comes out of internal speaker

I went to listen to a YouTube video without bothering my wife; plugged in my headphones (both Apple ear buds and SkullCandy cans) but nothing came through them and the audio continued to pipe through the laptops speakers. Plugged in and out 7-8 times. Rebooted. No change.
First time this has happened. Thanks in advance.

CORRECTION: I'm running Lion 10.7.2 (not 10.6.3 as listed)

Having a MBPr late 2013 and having a sound problem the sound does not come tom the headphones even its all the way up and when i remove the headphones it docent come out the internal speaker either ? any idea how i fix this?

the sound do not come out the headphones sometimes altho its all the way up in the setting and when i remove the headphones the sound doesnt come from the internal speaker either and only a reboot fixes the problem and thats annoying! any idea how tto fix this?

Hello. I've been able to play sound without problems through headphones or external speakers to date - the output always switched to these automatically until today. Now, sound output continues through internal speakers even if I plug in headphones or external speakers.
- I tested the headphones and speakers on other devices: they work fine.
- When I plug in headphones or speakers into the audio output port (I have verified that I'm not using the input jack) the devices are not detected and are not listed under the output tab in system preferences-sound.
I concluded from this that I probably had a problem with the audio port, so to test that I tried the following. I plugged a powered multi-USB device with ports for microphone line-in and headphone line-out into the USB port and switched it on. I verified that it was working by plugging a USB stick into the multi-USB device - this was recognised successfully, so the device was clearly working. I then plugged in headphones and speakers into the audio line-out on the multi USB device - but still no sound came through them (and tey were not listed among output devices) and the Mac continued using internal speakers.
What should I do? Does the latter test suggest that the problem does not lie with the audio port, or is my test not conclusive? What would you advise?
Many thanks indeed!

Great, now headphone jack no longer works, volume only comes out of speaker

This phone is so frustrating. This past weekend, the sleep/wake button wouldn't work for a whole afternoon but started working fine afterwards. All of a sudden this evening, I can no longer use any headphones to listen to my music. Regardless of what earphones I plug in, the sound only comes out of the speaker for some strange reason. Has anyone else had this problem? I just finished buying protective screens for the crazy thing and now this happens.

I had a problem like that. I fixed it by going to settings -> general -> reset -> reset all settings. If that does not work, then you may need to visit the Apple Store and talk to a genius. They will most likely replace your iPhone.
Good Luck,

Ipad Remote app works for only half the songs in my iTunes library, and sound still comes out of my Mac instead of my iPad.

Can anyone offer suggestions? I realize there are two separate issues here.
1. I thought I successfully connected my iPad with the iTunes library on my Mac/ Hard Drive via the Remote app. However, more than half the songs in my music library will not play on the Ipad; when I click on any one of them using the iPad's Remote app & iTunes, I get a message box that says: "An unknown error occurred. Please check your library and try again." These songs all play fine through my Mac's Itunes program.
2. I had thought I could use the Remote app to get my library "into" my receiver, connecting the iPad to the receiver with an RCA-to-headphone adapter. This adapter works great to play music that "lives" on an iPod or iPad. But it does not seem to be able to access music that the ipad is controlling only remotely. If this is true I will be pretty unhappy...

Thank you. My two questions have now shifted.
1. You are right-- I have been unsure as to whether Homesharing or Remote was my answer, and I did set up Homesharing on both my Mac and iPad. It still appears that my music comes out of the Mac, only. How can i use Homesharing to allow the iPad to play music?
2. And I went back to check again, and saw that somehow, the songs that my iPad cannot locate are also somehow missing now on the Mac, even though they used to be accessible. My entire music library is stored on an external hard drive, which I used to connect to my Mac with USB. I just got a new router and now have the music hard drive connected via USB to IT instead of the Mac. I would bet that this is why so much of my library is no longer accessible-- I must have used different settings to save some of my songs, and the hard drive's new location shows that. Can anyone help me make my entire music library playable ? Thanks again

I just got a new iphone 5. When I plug in the ear buds, the sound still comes out of the phone itself. What do I do to get the audio to go to the ear buds?

Just got a new iphone 5. When I plug in the ear buds, the audio still comes out of the phone itself. How do I transfer the audio to the ear buds?

Make sure it's plugged in all the way, because it clicks when it's no all the way In and many users get confused. If not try turning it.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect; status bar looks good. But audio always comes out the speaker. Thx.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect as expected (with a PIN); status bar looks good and shows Bluetooth active, and I even see the iPhone displays the battery levels of the wireless earbuds. But audio always comes out the speaker. (If I plug in wired headphones into the headphone jack then audio comes into the wired headphones, as expected.) I have rebooted the iPhone; I have had it forget about the wireless earbuds, and repaired and reconnected; I have reset all network settings. Thx in advance.
PS: I understand that more recent versions of iOS have a way to choose where audio output goes (speaker, headphone jack, Bluetooth device). Does this older version of iOS? I could not find an option or setting.

I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

How long is a recent list stores in an iPhone in messages? I deleted a contact almost a year ago and it still comes up as a name and number?

How long is a recent list stores in an iPhone in messages? I deleted a contact almost a year ago and it still comes up as a name and number and when you click on the I button, it says "delete from recent list"
Hardly a recent number

Yeah that info will certainly carry over form the backup, but once you delete it from recents, it shouldn't show up anymore.

Audio only comes out of the right head phone on my iPhone 4?

I've just bought an iPhone 4 16GB off a family friend and the phone was in fully working order, I've seen it and used it. It's been restored back to factory default and now audio only comes out of 1 head phone through the audio jack? I've checked inside the jack for anything in there and I've used 4-5 pairs of head phones I know are working having used them in other devices. I've used this phone in the past with the head phones so I know it does work. I've tried doing a reset, same problem still occurs. Any idea's at all?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- 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. If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPhone for a refurbished one for:
iPhone model
Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 5
$229
iPhone 4S
$199
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
$149
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
There are third-party places that will replae the jack for less. Here is one.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Use bluetooth headphones instead.

I hooked up external speakers and the sound will only come out of 1 speaker

I have an electronic karaoke system on my HP envy dv7 Notebook and I just bought 2 new Mackey Powered Speakers and a new Mackey ProFX12 mixing board. I can only get sound to come out of 1 speaker. How do I get the sound to come out of the Right and the Left at the same time? Thanks for any input or help you can provide.

You may have dust or a small object in your headphone jack. You can purchase cans of air from computing stores that can clear any dust that may be causing the problem. If that doesn't work then a larger object may have damaged part of the jack at which point it would be advised to visit your local Genius Bar and see what repairs they can offer. Try not to insert any other objects especially ones with sharp edges into the jack as this often creates further damage. Hope everything is working again soon.

How can I remove the pictures in photo stream? I have already turn off my photostream at the settings but when i turn it on again, the pictures still come out?

Ok you can reset the stream from www.icloud.com
Goto www.icloud.com
Login with your iCould username and password.
and login
Then click on your name in the top right hand side of the screen next to sign out,
it opens a window Account details with Language, Time Zone, Advanced
Select Advanced - Then click Reset Photo Stream. and confirm, the stream will be reset and totally deleted
I still think you should be able to remove individual pictures though, a blured image etc is a problem

I'm trying to get the image to print correct size. i've tried center image, fit to media image, and they all come out the same size...smaller than the size in "image size". is this an Epson problem or Photoshop problem. Thanks!

I just got a new printer...Epson R3000...but have had this problem before. It's probably a simple fix, but I can't figure it out. I'm asking for printing on 8.5 x 11 and the image comes out 6.5 x 9.5 every time. Help please! And thanks!

The Epson site stated that the R3000 printer can print borderless however the quality will suffer in the expanded print area. Borderless is not supported on some heavy paper. To me the means your better off limiting you images size to the standard print area. There will be magins about 1/8" on the four sides so the print area on 8.5"x11" paper is 8.26" x 10.76"....
Take note of the print size set by the epson driver it may change depending on the paper type set. Note my first epson 4800 setup where I set 8.5" x 11" sheet paper from tray into the printer setting the driver set a smaller size for the paper which was reflected into the Photoshop Print preview. It shows paper is 8.499" x 10.999 with a small unprintable area across the top....

Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper may be changed by the manufacturer at any time, Epson cannot guarantee the quality of any non-Epson brand or type of paper. Always test a sample of paper stock before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs.
