My Ipod Touch Will Not Play Any Songs When Its Plugged In The Audio Jack, But When Theres Nothing In The Jack, It Plays Normally On The Speakers. Help?

It Just Happened Recently, As Soon As I Plug In My HeadPhones, It Stops Playing. When I Select A Song, It Seems Like Its Going To Play, But Returns To The Home Screen. But When I Take The HeadPhones Out, And Play A Song, It Plays Like It Use To, Im Really Confused.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books

    My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books. How do I fix this? I downloaded the books from iTunes on my computer. I loaded them on my ipod. It shows them on my ipod. It will go to the menu where you can choose which book and then actually pulls up the book then acts like it is going to play. Then it just goes back to the list of books. It won't play any of them. It will play music though.
    How do I fix this?

    The books do play in iTunes on the computer, right?
    Try:
    - 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.
    - Unsync all music and audion book and resync
    - 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.

  • My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

    My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

    All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
    But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

  • PLEASE HELP! My Ipod touch will not play anything from or in itunes.

    I don't know what to do. For the first 4 months everything was great then all of a sudden my Ipod would no longer play anything from or in itunes. I can not transfer anything from itunes to it either. It looks like it has been transferred on the ipod and in itunes under my device but it will not play anything. I can download directly into the ipod and its fine.  I listen to audio books from library sites as well as buy them but now it does not work unless it can go directly in the ipod which library sites need to come from your computer and them be transferred after its downloaded.  Can anyone help me?  I even have a brand new ipod thinking it was the other one but its not. I have windows 7 64 bit. Also I have uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing changes. Thank you.

  • My iPod touch will not play or charge on my non apple dock since the software was updated,why is this?

    My iPod touch used to play and charge in my non apple dock but now will do neither. Looking back it appears to have stopped working when the software was updated to 5.1. Why is this?

    There are two sides to this.  On the one hand, an Apple upgrade bricked your dock and that bites. On the other hand, Apple can't be expected to design around 3rd party devices that don't follow the specifications. We don't know why Apple made this particular change that bricked your dock so it is difficult to judge whether or not there was a good reason behind it.  We also do not know why AIVN didn't follow the specification but it was probably cost related.
    Note: If you sell the iPod, you'll still have a non-functioning dock.  You can sell it to someone with an older iPhone or iPod that can't be updated to iOS 5.1.

  • Ipod touch will not play music on Apple TV

    I have recently purchased Apple TV. For the most part i have no issues. However iPod touch will airplay video to Apple TV but no icon appears to airply music. Mucsic and video will airplay from my iPhone 4 and my iPad, but iPod touch's gen 2, 3 and 4 will only play video. Can someone help or refer me to a post where this has been resolved?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have had the same issue since getting the iBooks 1.5 upgrade.  Now whenever I go into iBook my music just fades out and stops as if I opened a program that will be using the audio.  I have tried the back up and reset, etc. to no avail. 
    The funny thing is that I can open an App like Angry Birds where I have the audio muted and music will continue playing.  Seems as if it is a bad update to iBooks.  My iPod Touch is the 8GB from the prev generation, not sure if that would matter based on the App.

  • My iPod touch will not play any sound or audio

    I was listening to music, and my speakers made a weird high pitched sound and now i cant hear any sounds or audio. I can go on music and click play but it will not work, neither will any other kind of sound! it wont work with headphones on either. I tried restarting it numerous times, and i left it off overnight hoping that it would come back. I talked to a guy at apple and he said to do a backup, and that didnt work either! hoping someone can help, thanks

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    - 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.

  • New Ipod Touch will not play in BMW

    I have a new Ipod touch that I bought from Apple. My 2010 BMW 128c will not recognized this Ipod touch or my wifes Ipod touch. It will recognize the one I bought my son at Best Buy. It also would not work with my previous BMW X5. I am using the adapter cable that came with the BMW. I work for BMW and they don't have any ideas. Is there a setting on Ipod touch that I need to turn on.

    The problem may very well be the OS version you're using (3.0 or later). There were many reports of problems when Apple introduced 3.0 and it has been a problem ever since. In my case, when I changed from 2.2.1 to 3.0 my '09 Honda Fit lost the ability to select Artists, Playlists, etc. (but at least it plays). I was able to step back to 2.2.1 for awhile and it functioned correctly, but I decided to go back to 3.x once I realized that Apple wasn't going to fix this, and I wanted some of the 3.x features. I recall seeing that BMW, Mercedes, and a few other accessories were affected.
    If your son's Touch works OK in your BMW, what OS version does he have? Chances are that it is version 1 or 2. You can blame Apple, but it may also be accessory manufacturers not following Apple's standards -- we'll never know, but one thing for sure is that this issue does not have Apple's attention since the problem remains after multiple OS releases since 3.0.

  • My ipod touch will not play anything.

    When i tap video or music, or even apps it will come up to a white screen for about thirty seconds then close out and return to the home screen. I really want to listen to my music and other things but its just not happening. I have everything updated, and all media plays on my computer. The screen is also slow to repsond to touch. There is at least one.something mega bites left of free space. I dont know what the problem could be. help?

  • Safari on iPod Touch will not play WAV voicemails

    Our campus voicemail system is accessible through a web browser and plays back its audio in WAV format (using the GSM6.10 codec). If I use Safari or Firefox on OS X it plays the voicemail, but when I use Safari on the iPod Touch it tells me that it "cannot play movie: Movie could not be played."
    Wouldn't it make more sense for a mobile platform to support as many of the .WAV codecs as possible, especially if the desktop OS already does?

    I worked with another person a week or so ago and the issue is the limited mobile Safari version support for playback.
    However, the touch MAIL program has no problems playing WAV files.
    What I suggested the OP do was set up a Gmail account and set their touch up to download that Gmail account. They then forwarded the email with voice mail to their Gmail account and were able to play it back.
