My headphones only work in one ear. Have I altered a setting my accident?

My toddler plays with my iPod, has he altered a setting by accident?

- Have you tried another pair of headhones or tested the headphones on another device to determine if an earphone or iPod problem?
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".

Headphones only work in one ear...WHY?

I have an ipod touch and the head phones only work in one ear.... Have tried them in my iphone and the headphones work fine
Any ideas
Thanks

- Insert and remove the headphone plug a dozen times or so
- Restore the iPod. Try to factory defaults/new iPod too.
- If still problem then you have a hardware problem. Like the headphone jack is bad.
Apple will only exchange your iPod for this price:

HT201320 My ear phones only work on one ear for my iPod touch

When I use my IPod do listen to music my ear phones only works on one ear

- You have verified that the problem is the iPod and not the headphones, right?
- Try inserting/removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so. Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- A reset. Nothing is 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Likely a bad headophone jack.
- Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished for this price. They do not fix your iPod.

Headphones only play in one ear

My Apple headphones started only working in one ear on my iPhone 4s. I tried the headphones in other devices and they work fine. I tried different headphones on my phone and they do work in both ears. However they do not work with the device that I use to listen to my phone in my car.

Interesting. Well, thanks for sharing that with us.

Ipod only works in one ear. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

My first generation ipod touch only works in one headphone. I've tried 10 different pairs of headphones but with all of them the sound only plays in the left ear. It works in both speakers when i plug it into the speaker that connects to its wider slot (the opening on the ipod next to where the headphones are plugged in) but when i use a cord that connects to the headphone slot that lets me play my ipod on my cars speakers it only works on the left side speaker.
I don't know what's wrong with it and i really need your help, so PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!

This exact thing happened to my first gen touch. Sadly, I don't have good news for you. First side of the earphone jack stopped working. A few weeks later the headphone jack wouldn't work at all. (Using the docking slot along the bottom still worked fine the whole time, just as you said.) Unfortunately it's not possible to replace the headphone jack without replacing other major components inside the touch so it's very expensive to repair. I could not fix the problem and had to buy a new touch.

My headphone port only works through one ear, is there an easy fix?

Hi, I have always been careful to not leave my headphones plugged in when I'm not using my iPod (classic), but yesterday for some reason no music will play through the right headphone. I have tried three different sets of headphones and it's the same will all of them so it has to be the iPod, is there an easy fix at all? if i have to have it fixed does anyone know how much it might cost?
Thanks, Lauren.

I don't think it's possible anymore. I'm mildly surprised you were able to keep podcasts in regular playlists this long - I thought this option disappeared back with iOS7.
I do share your pain. I've finally grown used to having the podcasts in a separate app, but I still don't like it.

Sound only works in one ear

My ipod just stopped playing in the left ear for no reason. I haven't dropped it or anything. It's not the headphones, I have tried the same headphones on other electronics and they play fine. I have tried multiple pairs of headphones and they all only play in one ear

its your audio jack...its happened to my ipod before...you can buy one for real cheap on ebay...they go for no more than 10 bucks...you have to install it yourself though...its not that hard just that theres alot of little screws

Hi oviemad,
Welcome to the HPCommunity, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are having some issues with your headphones. It does sound like a hardware issue with the headphone jack if this happens with multiple sets of headphones. You try reinstalling your IDT High Definition Audio driver. If that doesn't work then I would recommend calling HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or visit this link if you are outside of North America.

When im putting my headphones in my ipod plugged it only works in one ear, is it garanteed ?

Everytime i want to listen to music i plugged my head phones in my ipod and on one side it never works.
Its not a probleme from my headphones cause i used it on my computer and it was working well.

Try pluggin in other headphones to the iPod. If it stills doesn't work, take it to an Apple Store ASAP. It sounds like you have a faulty iPod.

Iphone 5 - headphones only playing in one ear

I have an iphone5 (7.1.2) and use the headphones (original apple ones that come w/ the phone) for 90% of my phone calls. The sound only comes through on the left earbud. Is there a setting I can change to get it in stereo?
Thank you in advance!

The problem might be with the headphones try using them on a different device to see if the problem is with the headphones instead of something with the phone. I have had headphones in the past where on the the earbuds was still working fine but the other was dead.

In ear headphones stopped working from one ear?

I've recently purchased a pair of in-ear headphones for my iPhone. About 2 weeks later (now) one side (the right side) has stopped working. Amazingly, that's also where the remote is but it does work, the actual earbud doesn't though. I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with the jack, since this happens with my TV when I plug them in, too. I'm also wondering if I can get it replaced by Apple and what I would need to take to them to get it replaced if so. Thanks, help is appreciated. (:

Just make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and take the headset in.

My headphones only work through one earbud

i heard that apple will send you a free pair of them. or is that complete bull and i have to go buy some?

Not "complete bull" as you put it.
Fill in a service request at http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
stating that the earphones don't work.
Apple will send you a pair free of charge if you send back your broken ones in the envelope provided when the new ones are delivered.
They do ask for credit/debit card details, so that if the broken pair are not returned there is a £9, (not sure how many dollars) charge.
To put it simply, you will get new ones free of charge as long as you send the broken ones back, otherwise, they'll charge you.

IPhone headphones have stopped working in one ear.

iPhone 5 headphones have stopped working in one ear. I've tried it on multiple devices and they still won't work. Is there anything I can do?

If the headphones exhibit the same issue on multiple devices, the headset is the issue.
Everything that was included in the box with the iPhone is covered under the same 1yr warranty. Take them to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

If it really does not work, change your password here https://appleid.apple.com (Manage account) and try to add the account again. I hope it helps.

I have two time capsules, one for work and one for home, how do I set up the work time capsule to only back up my work files?

I have two time capsules, one for work and one for home, how do I set up the work time capsule to only back up my work files? Also, how do I add co-workers to my work time capsule and wife to my home time capsule? Thank you!

You cannot have two different TC setups.. at least until Mountain Lion.. it did introduce some changes but I am not sure if you can setup two different configurations for TM.. you can use two different devices to back up to. I doubt this will help you.
You might be better using a real backup software.. superduper, CCC, chronosync etc.
The TC by default is available to any Mac in the network to do backups. TM will sort itself out and put each computer on a different backup. These are kept in separate sparsebundles.. so that is all fine.
