  • TS1630 My iPhone 4 says the headphones are in when they are not. I am not getting any sound from the speaker. Nothing appears to be in the headphone jack.  Any ideas anyone?

    My iPhone 4S  has no sound through the speaker generally, although the speakerphone does work.  It is indicating that headphones are in, when they are not.  Nothing appears to be in the headphone jack.  Resetting the phone has not resolved the problem.  any ideas what could be wrong?

    This just happened to my brand new iPhone5. I tried turning all the way off and then on AND plugging and unplugging. Only to discover that simply connecting to the charger worked!!!
    Very frustrating though!!

  • My ipod 5th gen won't change volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can change the volume on the speaker.  How do I fix this?

    Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

    You might need to clean the headphone port (I was in the same situation and this worked for me).  Dirt, dust, and debris accumulate in the port and eventually the computer registers the debris as headphones being plugged in.  After cleaning the issue was resolved.

  • My contacts don't sync on icloud on my iphone some contacts disapear on iphone and some contacts hae been merged together to make one contact when they are not related. Can anyone help?

    My contacts don't sync on icloud on my iphone some contacts disapear on iphone and some contacts hae been merged together to make one contact when they are not related. Can anyone help?

    If you log into Icloud.com, are all your contacts correct there? If the answer is Yes, I would then turn contacts OFF on your phone, and then turn them back on. Do not merge, but replace with Icloud content.
    This is usually the quickest way to edit a bunch of contacts, through the web interface.

  • HT204150 I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help

    I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help?

    Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
    If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
    Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud.

    Try inserting and re-inserting your headphones 7 or 8 times. Also try cleaning out the headphone jack in case of debris that might be interfering with the connection/disconnection.

  • Why does my Ipad say headphones are connected when they are not?

    I do not have sound on my iPad1. When I try to turn up the volum it indicates headphones are connected, but they are not. When I do use headphones they do work. I have rebooted the iPad, reset and restored the iPad and the issue still exists. Is this a straight hardware problem?

    iPad has a mechanical switch inside the jack so it knows when the headphones are plugged in.
    It may be stuck.
    Inspect it to see if something is in there, such as toe jam.
    Blow the port out with compressed air.
    Try inserting and removing a headphone plug several times.

  • My iPhone 4 thinks it has headphones plugged in but it doesn't. How do I fix this?

    I've already restarted and reset my phone.

    The plug is stuck...
    -Plug and unplug your headphones quckly and vigorously.

  • My built in speakers in my ipod don't work becuase it says headphones are plugged in when they're not?

    Help please?

    - 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
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - 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. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

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

  • HT201436 can only talk on speaker phone, phone says headphones connected when they are not?

    When receiving phone calls, can not hear the caller. Can only hear if on speakerphone.  When volume is turned up, it says it is turning up volume for head set when head set is not plugged in.

    try inserting and removing the regular ear buds 7 or 8 times
    ie you have to have to turn on the iPhone and remove the headphones whilst the screen is active and unlocked.

  • I unpluged my headphones, and now when they are out my computer is on a permeant mute.

    I tried to change my output setting to internal speakers, but the setting doesn't even seem to be there.
    I did some reasearch and it says that it must be something in my earphone jack.Because even when i unplug them a red light is still shining in there.
    What can i do to fix it?

    Try plugging and unplugging the headphones several times, and see if  that turns it from digital out (red light) to analog out (no red light)  Sometimes rebooting the computer with the headphones plugged in, then pulling them out will reset it. There are a couple of more things to check, but start wit these

  • ITunes thinks songs are missing when they are NOT...

    I've written about this in the past and I thought I had fixed it manually. For some reason a large number of my songs (about 1300) in iTunes are not able to be found on the drive when I try to play them. Once I try to play them I get an error message saying "The song "song name" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it" and then the "!" symbol shows up next to the song. The songs files ARE there though.
    In the past I thought I solved this problem because I "re-added" using all the songs in my library (about 4500) "File->Add To Library". If the song was one of these "missing" songs it was re-added to the library. The songs that were not "missing" were not re-added. (and again, the song files iTunes is re-adding are the exact song files it is saying aren't there in the first place) After the "re-add" I essentially had two of all the missing songs. One with the "!" and one without it. The newly added songs did not have any of the stats the original song had. So I used a script I was told about that goes through and syncs the song's statistics. Then after the song stats were synced I removed the "!" song from the library. I had to do this one song at a time. Of course, this took a VERY long time and I don't really want to go through it again... especially now that I know it may not be a permanent fix anyway!
    However here is something new I noticed now that I have Leopard: The files that are showing up as missing are also the ones that don't have a "thumbnail" icon of the album cover in the finder. Also, if I go into coverflow view in the finder those files don't have the album as the other files do. However, there should be no differences between the files. For example, one album where each song was ripped at the same time in the same way will have some songs that have the cover icon and some that don't.
    As I reported last time, this is not specific to one machine and has noting to do with the drive the songs are on. This also was happening on both 10.5.1. and 10.4.11 and lower.
    So, why is this happening and how can it be fixed. I'm not going to re-import the songs because then I loose all my stats, ratings, etc and have to re-do the long method of fixin the stats.. There needs to be some way to permanently fix this problem. Is it with the song files or the library? Is there some sort of validation script that can be run?
    Oh, on a side note... pre-leopard the "!" would show all the time. Now, if I close iTunes and re-open the "!" are gone until I try to play the song that should have the "!". This makes things even more challenging because I can't quit iTunes if I want to know which songs are "missing".

    I have this same issue. I use an external HD connected to an Airport Extreme Base station to store my music. On Tiger 10.4.11 iTunes created a music database just fine and found every mp3. I just installed Leopard last night and left iTunes to create its database overnight. It found every song, but there are plenty with the exclamation just as you described. If I want to play these songs I must hit "Yes" to locate the song manually. I can then play any other song with an exclamation point in that particular album, but if I go to try to play another song with an exclamation point from another album I must repeat the process again.
    It's definitely a problem with Leopard as I just got my mac back from the Apple store with a replaced hard drive. I created the iTunes database in Tiger on one day, then the next decided to purchase and install Leopard. So one day passed between each instance of building the database and it worked fine on a clean install of Tiger but not on a clean install of Leopard.

  • ITunes thinks tracks are empty when they are not

    Hi--
    My problem is that when I try to burn imported (original) tracks to disk from iTunes, iTunes says "tracks are empty." iTunes recognizes and plays the tracks; can import them; but seems unable to recognize them when asked to burn to CD.
    Any advice??
    thanks--

    Yes, they are in a playlist--and they play back. I think the files were SDII or WAVs originally off Pro Tools.
    Thanks!
