My ipad 3 keeps getting stuck in headphone mode, i have tired many fixes - help!

So I as I said, my ipad keeps getting stuck in headphone mode. Sometimes I can get it out is I soft reset my phone (hold home and wake/sleep button) but other times not.
I have reinstalled my ipad software, cleaned the hole with a cotton bud, played with the mute button and put my headphone jack in and out many times.
What can I do?
Thank you,
Lucy

Have you tried a different set of headphones?

    Without Airport set-up, and without wireless connection, I can't talk between macs either.
    Ok, this is a mac question: With the order changed so that the ethernet comes first, why is it still showing my connection to the neighbor's wireless? Am I reading that wrong? OR am I connected to both at the same time? If so, why would it connect twice to the internet?
    Probably because you neighbor has no security on his network. Does his network show a lock like
    If it does he's got security turned on, if there is no lock showing he hasn't turned it on.

  • Getting stuck in Headphone mode not necessarily a hardware issue, is it?

    I've read on the net that cleaning the headphone jack can correct this issue. I've also read that inserting the headphones and removing them many times (I think I've seen 7 or 8 times) can also correct the issue. None of these issues worked for me.
    What I did notice is that the presence of my headphones was indeed being detected. With the headphones plugged-in, I set the volume to a low volume, for example. With the headphones removed, I set the volume near maximum. Mind you, the phone is in Headphone mode, and won't normally play out of the speaker. But when you insert the headphones, in this example, the volume jumps to the low setting, and when the headphones are removed, the volume jumps to the near maximum setting.
    So insertion and removal of the headphones is indeed detected. So this isn't a hardware issue, then, is it? There's got to be something else going on.

    Well, I backed up, erased, and restored to get proper functionality. No longer stuck in headphone mode. I tried compressed air, and cleaning the jack. Those attempts didn't fix me. I believe it's just a bug that will eventually get fixed, or a setting that will reset the logic associated with the headphone.

  • Samsung stratosphere keeps getting stuck in landscape mode?

    All of a sudden a couple of days ago my phone started getting stuck in landscape mode, even when the auto rotation was off. I didn't mess with any of the settings to make this happen but sometimes I have to turn the screen on and off a couple of times before it goes back to regular mode. I even factory reset the phone today, but it is still going on.

    Hmm it would do that too, but I actually just realized what the problem was when
    I took the snap on case off. Apparently when I slide the keyboard down the
    bottom part of the screen goes beyond the part where it's supposed to stop. I'm
    guessing that caused some kind of censor to not work properly. But thanks for
    the help.

  • Sound gets stuck on "headphones mode" every time i try to play music.

    i know there's already a topic like this, but this one is a tad bit different.
    ever since i updated to 3.1.2 on my iPhone 2nd gen, every time i use my iPhone headphones and take them out, i'm stuck on "HEADPHONES" mode until my iPhone decides it doesn't want to be in it anymore. i read all the stories about blowing it with an air canister, did it. sucking the dust out, sadly i did it. plugging in and out, did it. restoring, did it.
    it just ***** that i can't use my iPhone for music.. it makes me want to use my blackberry again.
    any suggestions?

    Your iCloud backup doesn't contain your music.  It will restore music purchased from the iTunes store to your iOS device if you restore the backup by redownloading it from the iTunes store.  You can also redownload music purchased from the iTunes store to your iTunes library on your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.  This will not recover music from other sources.
    To transfer music from your phone to your computer, you will need to extract it using 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.

  • My phone is stuck in headphone mode and nothing is working!  Help!

    My IPhone 4S is stuck in headphone mode.  I have tried everything from putting my phone in rice overnight, blowing and sucking air in the headphone jack,and hard resetting it but nothing is working!  Please help!!

    Hello manhay,
    The following article provides some additional troubleshooting that can help restore audio to your iPhone's speaker.
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

  • HT1296 I am trying to sync my ipod to my computer thru itunes, I have already successfully synced my ipad, but keep getting stuck on the sync for the ipod it identifies, the device appears to be syncing but doesn't show up my new music or my new playlist?

    I am trying to sync my i-pod to my computer thru itunes.  I successfully synced my Ipad thru the computer, but am trying to do the same with the Ipod.  The device shows up on my computer and appears to be syncing, but nothing changes.  I have tried dragging the new music to the device, but a symbol appears with a slash thru the middle, as if denying access, any suggestions what to try next.  I have synced on this Ipod succesfully in the past, Suggestions?

    To drag and drop you have to use the Manual Method. That method is included here:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    Was the iPod set up by wifi or setup or synced to another computer/iTunes library?

  • Phone gets "stuck" on headphones

    Since I upgraded to 2.1 (or whatever it is) my iPhone keeps getting stuck on headphones. I cannot use the phone unless I plug in the headphones. I have tried everything on the website including plugging and unplugging, turning off blue tooth and restarting, cleaning out the jack. This has tyo be a software problem. If I go to sounds and select a ring tone the headphones problem goes away and the ring tone plays through the speaker. However within a minute or two, the same problem comes back.

    My sound also keeps fading away into a distorted mess. There is definitely a software sound problem. Sometimes I can do multiple resets and the sound will come back - for awhile. Then it fades away and distorts again.

  • Ipad 2 stuck in headphones mode

    Ever since I upgraded to ios6, my ipad 2 has been stuck in headphones mode in airplay. I've tried plugging in my headphones and pulling them out. I've powered down and started back up. I've done a full restore. Never had this problem until the upgrade.
    Anyone else running into this and does anyone have a fix?
    Thanks.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    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 iPad. ( I think you do this restore)
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
