My ipod only works from 1 side of my headphones

My iPod headphone jack only works on 1 side of the headphones but not both sides of the headphones. I try every headphones my friends have and my iPod is causing this problem. How can I fix the headphone jack inside my iPod??

Have it replaced. Either send it into Apple for replacement for a flat fee or send it to a third party repair comany to actually replace the part of for you at a cheaper cost.
Here are Apple's pricing options.

I have an iPod Video. (30GB 5th gen) The headphone jack only works if I push the headphone cable input to one side and hold it t here. If I leave it alone it either doesnt play at all or I hear a crackling sound. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Ipod only works in fm transmitter

my ipod only works when plugged into the fm transmitter. Once i remove it, it turns off and i can't get it to turn back on. It also isn't being recognized when i plug into computer everything from my itunes is still there but the ipod won't even turn on. When plugged into the transmitter the apple first comes on then the menu.When i turn it off everything on the screen slowly fades away. HELP!! thanks

This exact thing happened to my first gen touch. Sadly, I don't have good news for you. First side of the earphone jack stopped working. A few weeks later the headphone jack wouldn't work at all. (Using the docking slot along the bottom still worked fine the whole time, just as you said.) Unfortunately it's not possible to replace the headphone jack without replacing other major components inside the touch so it's very expensive to repair. I could not fix the problem and had to buy a new touch.

Printing only works from one computer

I have an Epson Stylus C60 connected to the USB port on my Airport Extreme. There are two computers on the network, a PowerBook G4 and a MacBook Pro. Both computers connect to the network very reliably and have internet access. The problem is that the MBP cannot print to the connected printer. The G4 has always printed fine.
The MBP sees the printer as a Bonjour printer, and I can add it to the printer list without problem. When I try to print, I get a message in the print queue that there is a communications error with the printer.
In the airport configuration window, the printer is recognized and remote printing is enabled. Any idea why printing only works from the G4?

Thanks for your help. Yes, the driver is a universal binary and the printer works great when plugged directly into the computer. I just can't figure out why it won't work over the airport.
Any other ideas?

My iPod only works when plugged into a wall socket!

Anyone know why my iPOD only works when plugged into a wall outlet? I tried it on the Bose docking station and also my MacBook and it won't work!
Any ideas??

Sounds like a dead battery. You can have Apple swap out the battery for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party service center to have them do the same for job a little less.

"my ipod only works when its charged."
Then it sounds like a battery problem.
Try these.
My iPod won't turn on.
iPod has no power and appears frozen.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
If none of the above help, then it may be an issue that requires service.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

My ipod only works 1meter away from router

My ipod touch only works 1meter away from my BT Hub, how far should the wifi signal reach? my PC works at least14meters away, please help!

Does it perform the same with other networks?
1 meter is too short . Is the PC 4 or 14 meters? 4 meters is too short too
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem with all networks then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Sound only works from one port

My sound only works when I use the output port on the back of my computer, but I'd also like to use the one at the front of my computer for convenience. What setting am I supposed to change to do this? Here is some information about my system.

IPod only works in iHome docking station - nothing else (USB, power outlet, other docking stations)

This just started last week after I'd loaded some songs to my iPod from my laptop and it wouldn't play or display anything.
My iPod Classic only works when connected to iHome docking station and then it seems to work fine. It won't work when connected to another docking station, to laptop through USB or to power outlet. I restored while it was on iHome docking station but that didn't seem to correct anything. When I've tried to restore off the iHome, the screen flickers endlessly and nothing appears.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Long live the Classic! (Hopefully)

Ipod only works in one ear. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

My first generation ipod touch only works in one headphone. I've tried 10 different pairs of headphones but with all of them the sound only plays in the left ear. It works in both speakers when i plug it into the speaker that connects to its wider slot (the opening on the ipod next to where the headphones are plugged in) but when i use a cord that connects to the headphone slot that lets me play my ipod on my cars speakers it only works on the left side speaker.
I don't know what's wrong with it and i really need your help, so PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!

This exact thing happened to my first gen touch. Sadly, I don't have good news for you. First side of the earphone jack stopped working. A few weeks later the headphone jack wouldn't work at all. (Using the docking slot along the bottom still worked fine the whole time, just as you said.)

Nokia 6600 only works from one cell tower

I have this weird problem with my phone where it will only work off one cell tower. Once I leave the coverage of that cell tower it will not work anywhere else.
It started a few months ago and i'm not to sure why?
The funny thing is it's the cell tower on top of my building at work, so when i'm at work it will work (calls/txt/etc) but as soon as I go home or even go to another city it will not.
Any ideas?

The first thing I'd recommend you do is to reset your phone, but I can't tell from the 6600's webpage what OS you're running so I can't give you instructions on how to do this.
Have a look through your menus to see if you can find an option to reset to factory defaults, but please remember that doing so will wipe ALL data from your phone.
If you wish to backup your data you can do so using the PC Suite application which you can find here :

Hope this helps.

Edward

Applet only works from local server

I developed an applet that has worked perfectly during my testing on my local apache server, but when I put it on my web host the applet won't load and the browsers lock up. I have tried it with a couple of browsers. I am at a serious loss to figure out why it wouldn't work from my web host.
My class files are in a jar because I have several classes, and the jar works fine from my local server.
Someone suggested that I do a stack dump. I put some code in the init method to dump the stack, but nothing changed. I have no idea where to find the stack dump from an applet. The browser doesn't have a window to display it (that I know of) and my applet certainly doesn't have a stack dump edit control.
Does anyone know how I can proceed with this? I am usually very clever about tracking down bugs and problems, but this one has me stumped. I am not posting code here because I have tested all the code on my local server and it all works great, just not from the web host. If posting code would help find a solution, I will be happy to do that.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

I am using gFTP to upload it. Below is the status info that I get during the upload. It changes the permission to -rw-r--r--, which is the same as everything else on the server and makes sense to me. After the upload, there is a message about ASCII, but I am assuming it is just switching back to ASCII mode after the upload.

BPC Report emails only work from server (not client) - BPC v5.1

Hi all.
Hope someone might have seen something like this before.
Basically, I setup our servers to send email from BPC about 3 weeks ago.
(NB - If it makes a difference, we use Lotus Notes via a Domino server)
The SMTP settings are all correct in BPC WebAdmin, the servers have been added to the allow list on the mail server and the port is open.
Anyway, when I try to send mail from a client (using the Offline Report Distribution Wizard), I get the following error:
"The transport failed to connect to the server".
At SAP's suggestion, I ran a test by installing Office and a BPC client directly onto the Web Server.
When I ran the wizard from the server, the email sent perfectly.
The problem I have now is that although I informed SAP of the test outcome, I haven't heard anything back in about 3 weeks, and I really need to get the reporting email system up and running properly.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this?
It's as though the system is telling the client to send the email itself, via the forwarding server, but this would mean allowing every user PC to access the mail server.
Hope you can help, but thanks for looking either way.
Craig

Hi Ludovic
The problem turned out to be mail server white-lists, due to the way that BPC sends emil.
Although you setup the email account/profile on the server, it actually sends from the client PC of whichever user makes the email request.
Our system is only configured to block all email requests with individual exceptions (ie a White-List).
It needed the PC of every user who would need to send email from the BPC system to be added to the white-list.
This is why it worked from the server, as we had added the server address to the list as part of the testing.
Not reall y a BPC problem, more of an issue with functionality due to the method that it uses to send the messages.
Hope that helps
Craig

Ipod only works while plugged in

When I have my ipod (4th generation) plugged into the wall charger the unit works fine and if i am not using it the battery charge indicator shows that the battery is fully charged. As soon as the ipod is unplugged from the wall it immediately turns off. Is this a problem with the battery?, with the ipod?, or is it a setting that can be changed??

Likely a badd battery or other hardware problem but first:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
