My ipod will only play from 1 heandphone. whats wrong?

my ipod touch only plays from 1 headphone and iv'e bought 3 different pair. it'll only play if i do a certain thing with the cord. idk what to do. help me !!!

Hi,
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802#acoustic provides tips that will resolve most hardware issues. One of the tips it provides is checking the iPhone's headphone jack for debris. You can try connecting and disconnecting the headphones a few times to remove lint or anything else that might be down there.
If the issue persists with some headphones but not others, the headphones with the issue will need service. You can setup service for the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic online here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do

  • IPod will only play songs from one album

    Help! I downloaded an album onto my iPod, and now my iPod will only play songs from that album. When I go to select songs from another album, my iPod skips over them like it is searching for something.

  • IPod will only play "legit" songs after Vista upgrade

    iPod 80 GB
    Windows Vista Business
    iTunes 7.1.1
    Ever since I upgraded to Vista, my iPod will only play songs I personally ripped from CD's or bought from iTunes.
    I do have songs downloaded from other sources (friend's bands sites) and the ipod starts to play them for one second and then the "time bar" goes fully blue and the song doesn't play.
    It took me a full restore and reload to figure out that it was only the downloaded songs that wouldn't play.
    Thanks in advance.

    Quite a number of people have had similar issues because the songs are MP3/AAC using VBR (variable bit rate) and the VBR tags are not correct.

  • My IPod   will only  play the same song in the playlist. What is  happening?

    My Ipod  will only play one song (over and over) in  a play list. It was workig fine and then  all of a sudden it continues to repeat. Please  help.

    Go to settings on the ipod itself and make sure on the option Repeat, it doesn't say "One". If it does, click on it until it's says "All" or "Off" - depending on what you prefer. If it isn't on repeat, reset it -if you haven't already; but that's usually everyone's first instinct when there's a problem so I assume you already have. If none of this works, you may have to restore it. If restoring it is something you want to leave as an absolute last resort, go to an apple store or something and ask a professional.
    Hope this helps

  • Ipod will only play single songs

    i am not extremely adept with technology but i know some basics, i'm having trouble with my 30GB ipod video, it will only play single songs, if i choose an artist with more then one song in that category it automatically zooms through them all rapid fire and then returns to the main menu... i have no idea why or how this is happening, is it possible i have a virus of some type? if so, how can i get rid of it or fix this problem? i have tried resetting it several times and syncing several times, nothing has changed.... also my second problem is that the videos i have on my ipod will play but they do not play any sound...i am more concerned with the first problem tho. if anyone could offer some advice or help it would be greatly appreciated.

    Do the songs play in the iTunes? However, usually if an iPod scrolls through all of the songs instead of playing them it is a software issue. I'd try restoring the iPod to factory settings and syncing the music again.

    Also, with your second issue. Where are the videos from? If they were something you imported on your own check this out:

  • Help- IPOD will only play ITUNES purchased

    I have only had my Ipod for 3 days. I imported three of my personal CD's on to Itunes and purchased one song from Itunes. When I play songs it will skip through all of my imports and only play the downloaded song from ITunes. There arn't any exclamation points by any of the songs imported. I have been trying to find information on how to fix this problem for the last two days. Please help. Thank-you.

    If they play in  iTunes on the computer:
    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/delete all music 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.             

  • Ipod will only play 5 or so songs

    This problem began only a few months after my purchase. My ipod will play a few songs and shut off. Sometimes the shuffle function will not work. I tried my friend's ipod on my computer but the same thing happened. I tried putting songs onto a CD and reloading them back into a playlist, and that worked for awhile but things are getting worse again. I keep downloading the latest itunes, and restoring my ipod thinking that will help but it does not.

    It is 1st generation shuffle. I took it to Circuit City and they put some songs on. It seemed to work, but I just forwarded through the songs and did not play them all the way through. This is a problem that gets worse as time goes on. A new batch of songs will play through for awhile, then gradually the batch that the ipod will play gets smaller and smaller until there are only a few songs left that will play. I did not test the Circuit City songs thoroughly so I will go back and try it again. Thanks for response!

  • When Logic will only play from a certain point...

    Hey
    Did a search on that. No result.
    What is this about? What am I overlooking?
    I have this song: I go to locator 1, press play, and then it jumps to bar 84.
    Whenever I press play it jumps to bar 84!
    I´m sure it´s straghtforward simple, but help me out.
    Thanks!

    What happens at bar 84?
    A lot, in the middle of a chorus.
    Have you got Cycle mode on?
    Yes, but this also happens when cycle is off.
    What key is play for you?
    Spacebar
    What does the *key command window* tell you this key is assigned to?
    Play and stop
    And what happens at bar 84?
    When you close the song and reopen it, does it still happen? And if you quit and restart Logic? - restart the Mac?
    A restart often helps. I´ve seen this 3 or 4 time before.
    If you make a fresh song, does it still happen?
    No.
    And please tell me what happens at bar 84...
    I wish I could tell.
    This issue comes and goes.
    This problematic song was just around a MacPro with a PTHD system.
    And working on that system I noticed a few anormalities...Like the key command for
    colors didn´t work, even though I imported my own set of KC.
    In general I experience most problem when I move projects between computers.
    (I don´t mean missing samples and plug ins)
    So maybe that´s the culprit.

  • My ipod will only play out of one headphone

    i know it is not the headphones because i have brought new ones twice now and the right headphone still wont play... does anyone have any help or do you think apple will try to fix it?

    I have the same problem but my warranty has run out, anyone have any suggestions? I've tried different headphones and its definately the socket you plug headphones into on the ipod thats the problem.
    I'd prefer not to just get a new ipod when all that seems to be wrong is the headphone jack!

  • 5th gen iPod will only play 1st few seconds of certain songs

    Have a 5th gen ipod, 30gb, with about 21gb on it. Its only recently starting to play the 1st 10-15 seconds of certain songs and then it'll skip to the next. It's happening to purchased songs as well as cd imports. Seems to be getting worse, anyone experienced anything similar??

    I guess there is not a solution.

  • I got the Beats Pill but when I plug the wire from the pill into my phone the music will only play from the headset and the bluetooth can connect but not work, how do I get this fixed?

    I'm really annoyed because I wouldn't have spent over £100 on a speaker if my phone wouldn't allow it to connect

    I subscibed to ITunes Match and all my music has disappeared from my Ipod touch and will only play through WiFi so I cannot play music in my car. How do I get it back please

    You'll need to switch off iTunes Match on the device & sync the iPod with iTunes as hopefully you've kept all your music on your PC.

  • My iPod shuffle says it has 9 songs on it , but it will only play two of them.  What is the problem and what do I do to hear the other songs

    My iPod shuffle says that there are 9 songs on it, but it will only play two of them.  What is the problem and how can this be fixed?

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    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 the 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.
