My iPod touch's headphone jack is not working.

I was in class listening to music regularly, when suddenly i pressed the play button again and there was no sound. i pulled out my Beat's jack and blew the ipod jack, which didnt help either. At first i thought it was my headphones, until i used my friends earphones in my ipod and there was no sound either. i went home, took a Q tip and turned it inside the jack many of times, and there was still no success. i even updated the firmware and restored my ipod, but there was no solution. is there no way of fixing this ?

You can have a third-party place replace the jack. Here is one.

  • IPOD touch. - Headphone jack no longer working.

    I'm new to this site, and it's sincerely making me angry.
    I got an ipod touch NG december 2008. It ran fine, but it seems as soon as my warranty ran out, the headphone jack decided to mess up. Now, I only get audio out of my right headphone, and not the left. It is not to do with the headphones, as I've tried multiple pairs. So, now I read that I have to pay 99 dollars for a repair fee? Is this how it is? Or are there any loopholes around that ridiculous fee considering I paid three hundred dollars for something I expected to actually work.
    Has anyone else had this problem? How'd you fix it?
    I'm sincerely annoyed with apple, and very much considering changing MP3 forms. Because, my family have all owned a certain IPOD product, and they've all had problems.
    Someone, please reply.

    the same thing happened to me but i didnt know it would cost about 100 bucks to repair. ive tried it with 3 diffrent pairs of headphones

  • IPod Touch 4 headphone jack no longer working??

    So recently, my ipod touch 4's headphone jack stopped working. As in, I would plug in the headphones, and I would just hear the bass guitar in all the songs and the vocals, drums, beats etc. would be almost muted. And then, I would re-plug in the headphones not all the way through but it would be loosely connected to the ipod. Any slight touch to the headphone would turn the music off. But, it would play the music fine. What am I supposed to do?
    These are the same headphones I've been using for the last 5 months and this has never been a problem. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    If the problem is not due to the headphones:
    - 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.

    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    The other way is to use bluetooth headhone if you have a 2G or later iPod.

  • Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working.

    Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working. I had the screen replaced about a month ago and it was working fine.  I woke up the other day and went on my camera and it had stopped working, it won't let me change from the front to back camera so i don't know what the problem  is: now all it shows when i go on the camera app is the shutter or a black screen. I have tried the advice people have said but it hasn't seemed to work. Any help would be appreciated!

  • Yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

    yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

    Given the information supplied, it sounds very similar to what happened to my wife's 4.  Locked up...came back on with a blank (bluish) screen...could here emails and text coming through.  It would get very hot as well.  Our local apple store tried two times to rescue it, ultimately rendering it complete inoperable.  I'm sorry to say in our case we had to buy a refurb and trade in the phone for $150, which actually wasn't a bad deal.
    There could be other information I'm missing, but I would start with seeing if apple can restore your phone.  If they can't, then I'm pretty sure it's dead.

  • TS2634 After I updated my iPod touch with iOS6, it does not work with my Logitech docking station. Is this a problem with iOS6?

    Does updating the 4th generation iPod touch with iOS6 keep it from working with a Logitech docking station/boombox? Nothing is wrong with the boombox.

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

    If it still does not work that means that the update broke compatibility. That happens sometimes. You will have to wait for an update to either iPod's iOS or the dock's firmware.

  • My ipad2 headphone jack does not work

    Has anyone had a problem with iPad 2 headphone jack? The jack does not work at all and the sound still comes out of the built in speaker. And yes, it is fully pushed in.

    If you are convinced that there is nothing wrong with the headphones (you could try another set of headphones, ear buds whatever) and that you are pushing the headphones in firmly enough - check to make sure that nothing is impeding the connection between the jack and the opening on the iPad - dirt, debris ....
    You could also reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep button and home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.

  • Ipod touch 5 headphone jack not working please help?

    I have tried with multiple pairs of earbuds/ headphones. Either there will be audio in the left, or right, but usually never at the same time unless you twiddle with the headphone plug in. Sometimes there's no audio. I only got the ipod in December, so naturally I'm concerned that there's a problem.
    If anyone has experienced anything like this, your help would be greatly appreicated. Also any help on how to fix it/ what I should do about it would be further appreicated.
    Thanks so much!!

    Tried different headphones - same thing - same headphones works perfectly on my computer and cellphone.
    Apple store named  ridiculous price to repare. Bad service... now i have a 1 year old mp3 player which can't play mp3.
    Great "QUALITY" Apple! And even better customer service!

    Apple charges a lot since they do not fix your iPod.  They replace it with a refurbished one at fixed price, regarlsess of what is wrong with yours.
    Two solutions:
    - Get a third-party place to replace the jack.  Here is one:
