My iPod (30GB Video) wont play music out of the right earphone.

I've restored it and whatnot numerous times and I've tried more than 10 different pairs of headphones. What should I do?

If it is in warranty take it to the closest Apple Store and they will exchange it or send it in for service:

If it is out of warranty you can either buy the parts and fix it yourself or send it to a 3rd party for service. Try http://www.iresq.com for one site, or Google for more.

    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

  • Ipod is playing music out of the headphones and the speakers at the same

    My ipod is playing music out of the headphones and the speakers at the same time and I can't figure out why. I reconnect the headphones and it still plays out of both...It is like it doesn't recognize that there are headphones plugged in, but yet it still plays out of them. Help would be appreciated. And the headphones are all the way plugged in

    Ah my ipod is not the only one doing this obviously...i thought i was alone in this world...it still has this problem after an entire month...and no this problem has nothing to do with my computer...although sometimes plugging in the ipod to the computer eliminates the problem for a while.
    Sometimes i listen to it at the loud volume that the other poster is talking about through the headphones and it will randomly recognize the headphones after about 30-60 minutes usually. but then the next day it will have the same problem

  • When I want to play music out loud the volume bar disappears and it won't play music or any sound. This sometimes happens with head phones in aswell. How do I fix it? I have tried to reset settings and wipe all the data of it but it didn't work.help!

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • My iPhone 5s has stopped playing music out of the speakers. It works when I plug in my headphones but other than that there's no sound. It just randomly happened so I'm not sure if I can fix it or if I need to bring my phone in

  • My ipod wont play music solely through the ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and quietly through earphones. Is this fixable??

    My ipod wont play music solely through ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and the earphones together. Is this able to be fixed??

    I am also experiencing some problems with the new software version, I bought the Belkin TuneBase for my car 25 days ago it had been working fine since I upgraded my Ipod 2 days ago, you know that sometimes if you don't get good reception you can change to a diferent preseted station on this Belkin Transmitter but since this Ipod upgrade I can't change to a diferent station and also i can't disconect it like before because before it said you were ok to disconect and I'm afraid to return because perhaps afterall is a software problem.

  • My iPod plays extremely softly out of the right earphone

    I own a 30GB iPod, which for months was working perfectly fine, then one day the right earphone played very softly. I know that it isn't the headphones because when I use other headphones, it is exactly the same way. It plays perfectly out of the usb jack on speakers. Can somebody tell me why this is, and if so, how to fix it without sending it to Apple?

    You could try a Restore, but I'm not sure that will fix it. Is it still under warranty? It sounds like a hardware issue, and I think it will probably require sending in for repairs.

  • Any Headphones I plug into my Macbook it only Plays sound out of the Left Earphone??

    I got New headphones and after about a week i noticed when I plugged it in it only played sound out of the left headphone, i plugged it into my phone and I pod and it Played out of both, then I plugged in different headphones into my Macbook and had the same problmem. I took a thin cotton swab and a TINY bit of rubbing alcohal and cleaned it out, still didnt work. Any ideas would help thanks! Im in panic mode!!

    First check the balance in the Sound System Preferences.
    If that is set correct I would bring it in to an Apple store and have them take a look at it.

  • SBLive!5.1 Line in only playing audio out in the right speake

    I have a PS2, and i connected a audio out into the line-in socket, but the sound will only play on my right speakers. Is there anyway to balance this out?

    I used one of the audio in cables (red or white). I believe one is for left, and one is for right, but even when i try the other, the sound only comes out of the right speakers. I connected both red and white into a 2 socket into connector, yet it still only produces sound on the right speakers.

  • My ipod shuffle 4g wont play music from a cd

    my ipod shuffle 4g used to play music, and i gave it to my dad. he synced it with a different pc and now music wont play. he put roughly 15 songs from a cd or two and only one plays, however it seems like a non-ear damaging version of static (that's the closest description i can get). the pc has WinXP SP2 Home 900MHz 256mb ram but i noticed iTunes when you open the all about it thingy (how to use it, etc not help but an overview) the videos become corrupt and if they do play they horribly lag and have color distortion (nothing is actually wrong with my monitor tho), and when you try to eject an ipod it says nothing is in that drive and you have to use My Computer to do it. its mysterious because on my Win7 laptop it used to function just fine, with music that came with Win7, iTunes Store content, and liek 5 cd songs. anyone know what's wrong? i haven't used iTunes in a while so I forgot a lot about how to use the deep menus and troubleshooting, etc. the pc is very old (he bought it from a gaming uhh... it was a place that used to be popular for gaming when computers had windows 2k, xp, me, and early versions of mac osx so the computer was very old and the place was going to close) about idk but it had Win2k and he upgraded it to the current version of xp. and the warranty on the iPod expired last month, because i bought it on my 12th bday, and i got frustrated because now i can't take it to an apple store for help free of charge or send it in for free warranty repair. grrr...so any help is MUCH MUCH MUCH appreciated.

    Did you select the option to play the music via BT?
    Did it work before?
    Do the spkearker work OK on another device?

  • Ipod 30Gb Video sometimes play songs randomly.

    sometimes when I go to get my Ipod, (Which I shut off when I left it) it plays random songs from one of the playlists I have on it. I know I shut the ipod off when I'm done each time, and I put the lock on. I'm the only one with access to it, so no one else is doing this. So when I find it is playing songs that I didnt ask it too. It never does this while I use it.
    Anybody Know how to fix it.

    nope, no alarms are set, nothing on the calendar either.
    but I think the problem solved itself, because it hasn't done that in a while.

  • Why does my iphone 4 play music out of the speakers when headphones are plugged in all the way

    Any suggestions? Just happened yesterday out of nowhere

    Have you checked the settings in System Preferences>Sound?  Are you certain that the jack is fully inserted?  If available I would try another set of earphones.
    Ciao.
