My headphones won't work! help!!!!

for some reason, the headphones all of a sudden on my computer do not work... i plug them in and i don't hear anything out of them but the sound is still coming out of the internal speakers in the computer...anyone know how i can fix this problem? please let me know...thank you so much...
dan

On my computer plugging the headphones in disables the speaker, ergo your computer is not seeing your headphones. Are you sure they are working? Have you tried them on another device? Have you tried rebooting your computer, running [Disk Utility to repair permissions and verify drive|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214]?

Headphones won,t work in the front pa

Hi all,
Sorry to disturb you again with this problem but I went through all the forums and even if tons of other people got the same problem, they never got any serious answer. So I'm trying again....
I own an Audigy 2 ZS card and my new headphones won't work in either green or pink connectors in the front of my computer case. I have no problem with speakers. My headphones work on other devices but no sound if I plug them in front of my computer.
Is there someone at Creative who can give us an answer to this problem? I bought my expensi've headphones only to play games on my computer, I would like them to work properly.
Please help "me" (or "us")
Thanks in advance.

Well,
Thanks for your fast answer. But do you mean that these 2 jacks are totally useless? If so, I'm wondering why they are there. That makes no sense. These jacks are there for headphones and micro. And by headphones, I guess we are talking about any kind of headphones.
And I guessed that these jacks were not directly linked to the audio card but I was sure that the mother board was the link between these in-line and the audio card.
Anyway, my only question is: "How come they put these jacks there if they are not linked to the audio card?"
Thanks

IPod won't work - Help!

I only just received my iPod Nano 4GB as a gift and it won't work. It works fine while plugged into my PC, and I can import music from iTunes to it, but as soon as I unplug it, the screen goes a bit fuzzy, freezes and slowly fades out - despite the fact that the iPod is fully charged. It won't allow me to reset it (via the toggle button/Menu/select either, and it won't respond when plugged into the mails either, only the computer.
Please help if you can! I've never used my iPod and I'll be really upset if it turns out to be broken - especially as I'm from the UK and all of the complimentary helplines I can find on the Apple website are for US only...

thats the type of thing they invented warrentys for!

Headphone won't work with X-Fi Fatal1y I/O dr

I have a new Creative X-Fi Fatalty, and I can't get my headphones to work when they are plugged into the headphone jack on the Fatalty's I/O front bay dri've. I'm playing music files using Windows Media player. Also, I tried other media players with the same results. The headphones work great when they are plugged into the X-Fi sound card port at the rear of computer, and they also work when plugged into a headphone jack that is included with the wired remote volume control that came with my Creative 5. speakers. I think I have everything set correctly. I've tried several settings to see if it made any difference. For example; mute speakers when headphones plugged in (on & off), make headphones the default speaker selection, tried the three different sound modes (gaming, entertainment, creation). I tried disabling the onboard sound and that didn't work. I've followed all of the troubleshooting guides provided by Creative and they failed to solve this issue. I read a lot of headphone not working posts, but couldn't find anything that sounded like it might work for me, or anything that I haven't already tried.

. Bad power connector to the Fatalty I/O dri've. If the I/O dri've had a function light on it, I would of know it wasn't getting power. But anyway, those little computer voltage testers made just for molex plugs and other plugs work great and helped me find this problem with my power connector.

Hard Drive failure - various boot modes won't work, HELP!

Hello all,
First of all, sorry for the essay, but I didn't want to miss out on possible crucial details that could help!
A couple of weeks ago, my beloved 27" iMac had a hard drive failure. It won't boot, but instead goes to the grey 'no entry' sign when booting up. I tried holding Cmd + V on boot and this message repeated itself whilst failing to boot:
"rooting via boot-uuid from chosen/: D94DA2D5-DB38-3517-B05D-70A97AC6EE5B
Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key><IOProviderClass</key><string ID="1"> IOResorces</string><key>IOResourceMach</key><string ID= "2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict>

BSD root: disk0s2, major 14, minor 2
jnl: unknown-dev: open: phys_blksz 4096 does not match journal header size 512, and journal is not empty!
hfs: late jnl init: failed to open/create the journal (retval 0)
cannot mount root, errno = 19"
I'm not sure how much of that is useful, but I thought I'd copy it all down anyway.
I googled error number = 19 and found articles on an invalid b-tree node and corrupt journals, leaving me to believe that because I recently deleted a Windows Vista partition and reformed the overall HD into a 2TB OSX volume, some windows data may have been left over and corrupted the journal?
So it fails to boot normaly, using Cmd V, and using the OSX install disk, as well as failing to boot from the DiskWarrior 4 DVD I purchased from my local Apple Reseller because I'd heard that it's very good at helping with issues such as what I think my HD is having. I tried Disk Utility whilst booting from the install disk, and tried to repair the drive, and each time I tried it said that invalid content was present in the journal but the disk repair had been successful.
Am I right in thinking that my data is on the drive, it's just that OSX won't register the drive's existence because of a corrupted journal? (the little I know of hard drives is shining brightly through at this point, I'm sure!)
I also tried to boot using target mode by connecting my iMac to a MacBook Pro also running Snow Leopard, but, whilst the iMac clearly went into target mode (bouncing firewire icon on screen), my HD never appeared on the desktop of the MacBook Pro, nor in Disk Utility.
Whilst I have AppleCare, I haven't tried taking it to a mac store yet because of two reasons; 1. The last time I did this I had HD failure on my old 2008 MBP and, whilst I told them to keep the data on it, the first thing they did was reformat the disk. Needless to say, it worked, but I lost all my valuable Data! The second reason is that it's bloody heavy, and I don't own a car!
Before people go on about the way I should have backed up my data, I did, and that's gone as well! D:
System Specs:
First generation of 27" iMacs
2.8Ghz Intel i7 quad core
2TB HD
ATi Radeon HD 4850 512mb VRAM
8GB DDR3 RAM
OS version: not the very latest snow leopard but the one before.
Thanks in advance, and once again sorry for the essay!

I'm not sure about the DW disk. Check that out at Alsoft's website. Apple doesn't provide data recovery services.
Apple has records of your iTunes purchases. However, the licensing for music only permits you to download it once. I'm surprised that you don't have backups.
If you get an external enclosure in which to put the drive then you might try accessing it from the MBP as an external drive. If you have an external drive you could try using recovery software:
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
Beyond this you would need to send the drive off to a data recovery service which will be extremely expensive.

Why firefox keep deleting my history? i try to reinstall it but it won't work. help me please.

I just upgrade my windows and reinstall my firefox. then it won't make me save my history. at first the history saved. but when I restart my laptop then open my firefox the history won't show up. and i try to reinstall but nothing changes. help :(

I expect you are deleting your history at the end of your session, as opposed to only clearing cache.
Make sure your are saving history, then in the settings that you are not clearing history.
'''Tools > Options > Privacy''' you must have "Remember my browsing history" and in Settings where check marks mean to clear things you must leave unchecked "Browsing history". Annotated picture:

FWIW,
App-tabs are considered part of browsing history so you must save your browsing history for app-tabs to work.

My headphones won't work on my laptop.

I want to use my headphones to watch things on my laptop but when i plug in my headphones, sound only comes from my laptops speaker. I've tried two pairs of headphones already, and it's the same for both pairs. Both pairs of headphones work perfectly on other devices. I have windows 7 on my laptop if that's any help.

Hi Izzy_N, welcome to the HP Forums. What is the model number of your notebook? Were both headsets 3.5mm connectors or USB connectors? If they are 3.5mm have you verified you are using the correct port?

Flash Player Won't Work - Help?!?!

Mac OSX - 10.1
Safari Version - 8.0
I am having some trouble downloading Flash Player to work with Safari and my friend is also having the same issue.
I have done pretty much every procedure: uninstalled, deleted plugins but still no luck.
It reaches 30% installation and then just says 'it's lost connection' but then won't do anything after that.
SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

I tried doing that but it tells me that:
"Safari can't open http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g'
as it is unable to connect to 'download.macromedia.com'
Which is pretty annoying.

My plug in speakers and headphones won't work in either headphone jacks

The headphone jack won't let my plug in speakers or headphone work. it will only let the built in speakers give out sound. i don't know if its broken or not.

Check the Audio Midi Setup Application in Applications -> Utilities. Make sure it is set for 48kHz. Higher frequencies frequently make audio unplayable. Some of the older updates would change the default frequency.

I downloaded some songs to my ipod touch 5G and now headphones won't work properly.

So I bought some songs from Jessie J a couple of months ago and today I completed the album. After all the songs had downloaded I tried listening to them through my headphones, but no sound was coming through. I can get some sound if I twist them around, but the sound is not consistent. This is not happening with just the new songs, but old songs and other apps. Sound is working fine without the headphones plugged in. I have no problems like this before but the headphones are relatively new as I lost my previous pair. My ipod touch is about 5 months old.
What can be done to fix this? Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

First confirm there is not a problem with the headphones
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
- Reset the iOS device. 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 iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
