My ipod sound is messed up

The sound on my ipod is messed up. Only one ear phone will play. At first i thought it was my ear phones but it's not, it's the ipod. Is there anyway i can get this fixed? Or is there a way that if i send this in or something mac will help me out? I really don't want to have to purchase a new ipod just because of this, but if i have to i will. Someone please fill me in on what i should do.

No, I'm pretty sure its the earphone because i get that problem all the time with my earphones and whenever I get a new one, they work just fine (until they act up and its time to replace them again)so just replace your earphones. IF for some reason it is the iPod, get it checked but I'm pretty sure its the earphones. Doesn't matter if they're new as we have stuff we like to call "defective".

Satellite Pro - Slow start up and sound is messed up

I have had my *Toshiba Satellite Pro* with *Windows XP* for a good few years now. She has always worked like a gem and has given me no problems until a few weeks ago.
A few weeks ago I was downloading a program and with it came the very unwanted and unliked "Antivir Solutions" virus. I did everything I could to get rid of this disaster (thanks to the help of support forums) and I think I managed to get rid of it, but ever since then my computer has not been the same.
I was having trouble downloading a PDF document a few days ago and it froze so I tried to restart which caused the computer to have a hissy fit, deleting my user account which meant I had to set all that up again from scratch. And, now, the computer takes a good 45 minutes from the time you press the "ON" button to when it is ready to start working. Not to mention, it takes a good 10 minutes each time you click an icon for the program to actually start..
I have tried defragmenting the system and have tried uninstalling unused programs to speed the computer up, but it hasn't worked.
I have also run several antivirus programs (such as Norton, AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials) to make sure I have no nasties messing me up, but they come up clean.
May I also add- The sound is messed up also. Whether I use the inbuilt speakers or external speakers the sound is disjointed and broken. As is any Video I play.
I just don't know what to do.
I cannot really afford a new computer, but I need my computer to be reliable. I use my computer for 12 out of the 24 hours in each day...
*What can I do?*

Hi nicoletrist,
I dont know what notebook you have exactly but I think the slow Windows start is caused due the viruses that you have or had.
Few years ago I had also a virus and it was causing a very slow start up, it did take up to 10 minutes until Windows was loaded and the only solution to get rid of this was using Toshiba recovery disk.
I would recommend the same to you. Use the Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings and backup your data because everything on HDD will be deleted.
Im sure after using recovery disk your notebook will run like a charm again! :)

My iPods sound won't work

My iPods sound won't work

Need more info... No sound, period. No sound from speaker. No sound through earbuds? With what you gave have you tried a simple reset? Press and hold the power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears (approximately 15 seconds) then release, nothing will be lost on your iPod.

My ipod sounds as if it has interference when on docking station.....3 other apple devices work with no such problem...i.e nano ,classic and 2x separate iphones, with no problems .I have been given a 2nd ipod touch replacement, it plays with interference

ipod problems
My ipod sounds as if it has interference when on docking station....3 other apple devices work with no such problems, i.e a nano. a classic and 2 separate iphones so the problem doesn't seem to be the docking station...I have been given 2 reolacement ipods and the sound persists....it is obviously the connection.....as before downloading any data on the new ipod I docked it and the noise was present ....mairiskye....

- Is it a 4G iPod? That model sometimes mates poorly with dock because the configuration of the iPod by the dock connector is different that other devices. Thus, make sure it is fulld/seated in the dock.
- Have you brought the iPod and dock to the Genius at the an Apple store.

My sound is messed

Like the sound is not good when I type a wired sound play over the no all typing sound like right now I am typing and the sound is messed up,even without the headphones

Try a reset.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Poor iPhone4 (iPod) sound quality

I have an iPhone4 (iOS-4.3.4 | 32GB) that is only 1 month old and I'm finding that the phone's iPod sound quality basically stinks. It's extremely tin can quality even Vs my iPod. My cheap earbuds that came with the iPod sound 1000% better than my $400 Monster earbuds.
I know that unlike the iPod you can download your music on the iPhone at about any data size, but went with the lower to keep the size of the music library smaller. But, did that kill the sound quality or is there some problem with the iPhone4 and the way it operates, especially on the iPod?
The same music sounds fine on the iPod, but when played on the iPhone4 the quality is so bad that it hurts my ears. It's like I'm listening to music between two tin cans attached by sting.
Is there a way around this or is this just simply a problem with the iPhone4?
It's amazing that my tiny iPodnano can produce better sound than the iPhone4 even with the same headphones or earbuds.
Thanks for any hints...
Mike

I have not tried it with the phone on, it's always been in the airplane mode when I listen to the music. So with airplane mode the 3G and Wi-Fi are off. Not sure what BT is.
Odd thing is that podcasts, tv shows and films all are okay ... I don't hear any real difference. It's only with the music. Know that when I downloaded my music from both the MBP and MBA I used the lower bit rate, but would not think that should make a difference. Since the iPodnano is loaded at the same bit rate as well.
There are previous posts here in Discussions that seem to show there is a problem with the iPod on the iPhone4. But, most of those were posted in the last year with nothing recent. So if it was an iPhone4 firmware issue I thought maybe it had been resolved over time. Now I'm wondering.
I did just to the latest update this week on the iPhone4, maybe that's what did it?

I just purchased an iPod Touch for my brother for Xmas. Can I transfer music from my computer to the iPod Touch without messing it up for him when he plugs it into his computer for the 1st time? Dave

IPod sound dock with radio microphone receiver?

My wife is an aerobics instructor and uses a headset radio microphone through her amplifier so her voice can be heard over the music.
She now wants to move away from cassettes and CDs for her music and wishes to load all her daily play lists onto an iPod for greater flexibility.
Does anyone know of a karaoke type iPod sound dock speaker system with a built-in radio microphone receiver so her voice can still be heard over the music?

i don't know if this has been brought up before but anyways on the topics of docks...i am getting the bose dock for christmas. but i wish someone would make a cable that would connect your ipod to your dock because i am almost positive that i will need to take my ipod out of its case to put it in the dock. i believe that if i am willing to fork out 300 dollars for an ipod and another 300 for a sound dock that i shouldn't have to take the case off of my ipod to listen to it.

SOUND IS MESSED UP, PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!! BASS EFFECT HAS GONE !!!!!!!

Hi,
so i was listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers (Oh yeah !) on itunes on my Macbook Pro (Mid 2010 model, OSX 10.6.7) and the sounds working fine, then suddenly the base effect just went and it's like it's being played on an ipod. I then went onto youtube to see if it was just itunes that was messed up but then the same problem was happening with all the sound on my computer. I then went into system prefs to see if there were any options in there but there wern't. I've already searched for an answer on here and it's not the same sound problem where people can't hear voices on movies properly. I think i'm going to see someone at the apple store soon but i just thought i'd put it on here aswell to so if anyone knows why this is happening.
If you have any further questions just ask me.
Thanks,
Max Runacres

Are you using headphones? Does it only occur if using headphones?
If yes:
- Try another set of headphones
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
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 iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

IPod Sound Problems - Through Universal Dock

When my iPod is docked to my PC for charging it generates bleeping noises which mess up the sound of any playback.
Examples below are recorded from the Line Out of the iPod dock (which is usually connected to the aux in on my speakers) , The dock is connected to the PC by USB (The problem is exactly the same with firewire).
Noise audible whilst charging http://www.chrismb.plus.com/Ed/charging.wav
Noise audible during playback - http://www.chrismb.plus.com/Ed/playing_connected.wav
Noise audible during playback - Firewire/USB cable is disconnected about 21secs in - http://www.chrismb.plus.com/Ed/playingconnecteddisconnected.wav
I don't have a clue why it does this - but it means that to listen through the dock I have to stop it from charging.
Any Ideas?
A64 4000+, BFG 7800GTX, 2GB Ram, WD Raptor 74gb, Maxtor 300gb 16mb cache iPod Video 60gb Black

It only makes these noises when charging from USB / Firewire - the problem does not occur when using my Logic 3 AC adapter.
How Odd.
