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.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • 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".

  • External Hard Drive (USB3.0) only works through USB2.0 hub

    For quite a while now some of my external hard drives have not worked when directly plugged into my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012 running 10.8.5). They work perfectly when plugged into a USB hub and then into the macbook but not directly to the mac. Standard small USB flash drives work fine straight in to the macbook, the real problem appears to be USB 3.0 hard drives. These will not show up on desktop or disk utility unless I plug them in via a USB hub (which is USB2.0). The hard drive format doesn't seem to be important, currently my Mac OS Extended Time Machine backup HD is only working through USB hub, and my MyPassport WD external drive is NTFS and hasn't worked directly into the Mac for a while now.
    Normally this is not a big issue, but when I am on the go it is useless to carry a USB hub around along with a MyPassport hard drive! In addition, there are times, such as when backing up, that I want the speeds offered by USB3.0 from my macbook to my hard drive.
    What could be the problem? I run NTFS for Mac OSX, not sure if that would cause an issue with the direct connection.
    Please help, this one is grinding my gears!
    Thanks

    WD Black 2TB back in summer sold for about $179 and excellent choice.
    Very important as to what controller you get and what it supports, besides Mac Pro 2010, 64-bit mode drivers.
    With 4 drives you may or may not want a card+case that is Port Multiplier.
    To use 4 drives you may want 4-port SATA.
    The ideal might be two PCIe cards and two cases, so your data and backup are not on same controller and case. Or not.
    avoid Port Multiplication

    I'd go with 1.5TB models throughout: replace the 2 x 500GB which sound older and 2007 era? setup 3 x 1.5TB if you think you want 1.5-1.8TB for active projects on your internal drives (3 drive array)
    Or there is this:

  • Nokia 6600 only works from one cell tower

    I have this weird problem with my phone where it will only work off one cell tower. Once I leave the coverage of that cell tower it will not work anywhere else.
    It started a few months ago and i'm not to sure why?
    The funny thing is it's the cell tower on top of my building at work, so when i'm at work it will work (calls/txt/etc) but as soon as I go home or even go to another city it will not.
    Any ideas?

    The first thing I'd recommend you do is to reset your phone, but I can't tell from the 6600's webpage what OS you're running so I can't give you instructions on how to do this.
    Have a look through your menus to see if you can find an option to reset to factory defaults, but please remember that doing so will wipe ALL data from your phone.
    If you wish to backup your data you can do so using the PC Suite application which you can find here :

    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Sound only comes through one ear bud

    Sound is now only coming through one ear bud.  When I check the headphones with other devices, both ear buds have sound, so it must be the iPod.  Has anyone experienced something similar.

    It usually a likely indicator that your headphone jack is damaged and in need of replacement.  You can have it serviced by Apple or a third party repair service for a little less.

  • 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.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more places.

  • Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times

    Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times.
    Please help to set it up, thanks in advance

    You need to give more info..
    Firstly only works for what.. networking.. backup.. wireless. You need more nouns.. more adjectives... describe what you want and what fails.. then we can figure out why.
    Most likely you have bridged it when it should be in router mode..
    Most likely you are using Lion or ML which has the airport utility bridge the TC by default.
    Change it to working as a router. That might help.
    If you press reset button it will default back to router btw.
    If you are on Lion.. use a real utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547

  • Flash only works for one user

    Using IE7. I have three users on my computer. All
    have Administrator level access. Flash only works for one of them.
    When attempting to play a video on YouTube for example it says "You
    either have JavaScrip turned off or an old version of Adobe Flash
    Player."
    JS is turned on and the current version of Flash Player is
    installed.
    So does anyone know what is going on here?
    Thanks

    I was able to fix my problem of Flash only working on user
    account. I did the following two steps to correct the problem:
    1. First uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX
    control by following the instructions stated in
    tn_14157.
    2. Second Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix permission
    issues that prevent the Flash Player installation by following the
    instructions stated in
    fb1634cb.
    Following the above two steps, fixed my problem of only
    having Flash run on only one user account. Now it runs on all four
    user accounts.
    As a side note: The Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control
    would not run in user accounts with Limited access. But when I set
    the permission of the user account to administrative, then Flash
    would work.
    Regards,

  • Mouse Track Ball only working in one direction

    Hello,
    My Mighty Mouse is 3 months old and now the track ball is only working in one dircetion.
    When I move the ball forward I hear the distinct sound and the scroll bar on e.g. Safari moves, but when I reverse there is no movement on the screen.
    I don't hear the same sound as when I move the track ball forward.
    I have tried to reboot but no improvement.
    Have someone seen teh same issue? Is the solution to simply replace the mouse?
    Thanks / Christer

    Use the instructions in this article to clean the mouse.
