My ipod does not play in the left earbud.

I have had a first generation ipod nano for about a year and a half now, and, recently, it has been unable to make sound out of my left earbud. I have tried three different sets of earbuds on it, and the same problem has occured. Am I correct in thinking that there is a problem with my ipod, and not the earbuds? If so, how can I fix it?

It is a hardware issue e.g. bad contact between the earphone jack the earphone plug
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk

IPod does not play well with left speaker

I have tried several ear buds as well as stereo's for playback with my iPod. The left speaker plays at about 1/2 as loud as the right speaker in all these devices. This has happened with 2 seperate iPods. I've downloaded songs from 2 seperate PC's to the iPod and still get the same results. Has anyone else experienced this?

hmm mine does the same thing from time to time but with the right speaker...I thought it was the car stereo I was playing it through but I've tried a few sets of headphones to discover that it must be the ipod itself.
I've discovered that this is an intermittant problem - the ipod will either work fine or produce only 20% of volume throught the right speaker. The problem doesn't come and go while you're listening to it, but when you turn the thing off and come back to play music or video later - it either works correctly or it doesn't.

Ipod Does not Play songs

Ipod does not play music. Instead of playing the song, it just lists the title (like when a song is playing) and then moves to the next song without playing the song. It's as if it automatically forwards to the next song (song titles displays for every second). And this occurs in shuffle mode, and/or selecting a playlist. Need help! Ipod was purchased in this site on May 27,2006.

Hi deb253,
If you are having sound issues with your new iPod Nano, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at the 6th Gen, but the steps should be similar for the 7th):

iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.

The theme does not play at the beginning.

I am using iDVD 7.1.2 with 1080 video edited in iMovie 9.09. The theme I set up does not play at the beginning when the DVD loads. The movie starts on it's own and the theme plays when the movie is over, or you can use the menu button to get to it. This happens in Apple DVD Payer on my iMac, my DVD player and my Blu-ray player. I have tried the Revolution theme and the Reflection White theme. I have tried including chapters in the movie, even though it's only two minutes long. Any ideas?

Go into the Map mode
and remove whatever is in the left hand, blue Auto Play bin.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Police does not appear in the left corner iMovie11 viewer, any idea?

Police does not appear in the left corner iMovie11 viewer, any idea?

Hi Bengt,
actually I just found what is the problem, if I choose the Halo effect in the Title navigator (sorry if the words are not exactly it, mine is in French so I translate) I do not have the "show the polices" in the upper left corner of the viewer, but if I choose another one like a lateral effect, it appears and I can modify the polices and colors of my title. Go figure?!
I spent maybe 2 hours trying to understand that, well I think it is a glitch, but maybe just on the French version, I don't know.

The iPod does not play any songs, always stuck on 0:00. All the browsing features work.

The iPod classic does not play any of the songs. all the songs stop at 0:00 and don't play. How do I fix this?

Try the Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

ANY IDEAS?..THANKS

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Then make sure that you have the right boxes chacked to sync. See:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Have you successfuly synced from that iTunes library before?
