My new ipod earphone remote & mic... Not fully functioning?

Ok, so yesterday I bought these earphones because the standards that it came with were broke after 4 years of heavy use. I didn't know (but thought so) if the remote was compatible with my ipod. Now it seems that my 5G ipod (the one with the camera in the back) is compatible with it. Yet mine is only able to skip songs, play & pauze using the middle button. When I try the volume controls, I see the volume bar on my ipod but it doesnt change, when I try again it doesnt react anymore (no volume bar, standard screen), nor does the middle button work.
Short: middle button works, when I use a volume button nothing works anymore..
I guess I got a bad set? I tried blowing out dust out of my ipod but it didn't have any effect.

Try these:
- Power off and then backu on your router
- Reset your iPod:
Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network settings on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Web pages are not fully functional on iPad

    Until recently I was enjoying my experience with my iPad 2. I went to Netflix to write a review for a film and was unable to do so.  For whatever reason, I am unable to select the desired stars for my rating.  While obviously this is not a deal breaker, it is frustrating knowing that some web sites are not fully functional with my iPad. I hope this changes in the future. Cheers.

    Here we are over 2 years after the original post and I am having this problem too. Having it in both Safari and Chrome. When I first got my Ipad 3 I was able to rate movies (select star from red to yellow) on the netflix.com website. Somewhere along the line that quit working. Everything else on the site works even radio buttons on page where you select types of movies you watch and how much. At first I thought something on the website changed but then I got a new Ipad 3 at work, low and behold, I was able to rate movies by selecting stars. So what's the difference? Tried deleting history, cookies etc. Removing apps and rebooting. Long story short, I reset my Ipad deleteing all user info and settings and setting up as a new Ipad and it still doesn't work. I can't find any settings on the website itself that affect this. Anyone?

  • DTR component not fully functional

    Hi all,
    We recently tried to change the DTR repository properties file, according to SAP NOTE: 1001509.
    After performing the process mentioned in this note, we noticed this particular repository.properties file has the wrong content (I downloaded the file from online NWDI - DTR and this caused the file to include HTML Tags and replacing the Key/Value pairings with a different keyset).
    This caused the DTR to not fully function; for example we cannot checking any activities anymore. Whenever we try to restart the DTR application in the Web AS, we get a NumberformatException on multiple Key/Values in this repository.properties file.
    At this moment, we are not capable of changing this repository.properties file since we cannot checkin activities.
    We also tried to replace the repository.properties file on UX, but we now believe (since this file is also version controlled) it is only contained in the NWDI Database.
    I've included the error trace DTR pushes out;the current repository.properties file (wrong one) and the correct repository.properties we wish to have in place.
    This is a very challenging topic for our teams to solve.
    Anybody up for an idea?
    Thanks,
    Wesley

    The great thing about most BlackBerry phones is their removable battery. Anytime something goes wonky with your phone, doing a battery pull should be your first course of action. When you do a proper battery pull, many unnecessary temporary files get deleted and this helps your phone run smoother and ofter quicker. To do a proper battery pull, make sure your phone is powered on then remove the battery and replace it a few seconds later and wait for your phone to boot up. Don't worry, you won't lose any personal data. Many phones from competing manufacturers don't have this feature so be happy that you can correct many issues using this simple technique.
    I can answer your question about voicemails right away. Your carrier's voicemail number should be programmed on the SIM card. To access it, simply press and hold the #1 on your phone for a second or two. That should direct you right to your voicemail box where you'll be prompted to enter your password. If you press and hold the #1 on your keypad and you're not directed to your voicemail box, contact your carrier to obtain the number as well as instructions on how to enter it in your phone.
    Try the battery pull and report back with your results. Cheers.

  • IPod Nano (2nd generation) not fully compatible with BOSE SoundDock

    I can't get the remote control for my BOSE SoundDock to function with my newly purchased 2 GB iPod Nano (2nd generation).
    The BOSE manual states that the remote control will not function properly if the iPod doesn't have the proper (or later) version of Apple software installed.
    The "correct" software that BOSE identifies for the iPod mini (Nano) is version 1.2 or later.
    This, however, appears only applicable to iPod 1st generation Nanos.
    My brand new ipod Nano has version 1.1.2 software and iTunes has confirmed this to be the most current software for this 2nd generation unit.
    Is this a common problem? It's hard to believe the BOSE unit does not cover 2nd generation iPod Nano software.
    Other than the non-funtioning remote control, the BOSE unit works fine and with the BOSE-supplied black adpater for the Nano.
    Dell PC   Windows XP  
    Dell PC   Windows XP  

    Actually, the BOSE SoundDock is compatible with the iPod Nano.
    After troubleshooting with the BOSE staff, and some excellent customer service, the problem was narrowed down to the remote control device.
    BOSE sent out a new remote control and the unit works fine with my iPod Nano.
    Appreciate all who offerred assist in this matter.

  • BRAND NEW iPod Touch 2g will not power up

    I just received a new iPod Touch 2g via FedEx today, and it won't power up at all. I've tried connecting it to my PC (Vista 32-bit) and the screen remains completely blank. I've tried doing the hard reset (holding the home and power buttons down for 10 sec.) and the screen also just stays blank.
    This is the first time I can remember a piece of hardware being DOA...is this merely a glitch? Is there anything else I can try to fix this?

    I have had my iPod Touch 2g for a few weeks and have not used it a huge amount yet. I was very upset to find that after placing it in it's new Krusell case this evening and trying to turn it on (wake from sleep) a few hours later, it was completely dead. Dodo like.
    Pressing the power button or the wake up button did nothing. I eventually found this thread and tried the power and wake up button together for 10 seconds. This seemed to work and it now appear to be fine.
    A bit unnerving though, as I am working hard to get all my apps and data together so that I can use it as my PDA going forward. I need to move away from the old Sony Clie that has served me so well for about six years. It needs charging too often and I know the Palm platform is undeveloped.
    I hope the iPod Touch doesn't let me know. Gave me a fright.
    Hope you get yours going again...

  • Brand New iPod Touch 4G will not charge, or turn on

    Hello.
    I have a brand new iPod Touch 4G, and when I plug it into my computer, nothing happens. My computer for some reason is not reading this iPod Touch;
    I have no other way to charge it.
    No damage has been done to the product from my observation.
    I have tried to restore it, reset it, and other things like that, but iTunes still isn't picking it up, as well as my computer..
    I am on a Windows 7 Starter Notebook, with 3 USB ports (that probably are not high-powered), and for some reason it just doesn't want to charge.
    I'm going to take it to school with me later to see if it will charge, but in the mean time, do you guys have anything that could possibly get my computer to start reading this iDevice?
    thanks,
    Matt

    I have tried a different machine, and it is not my computer.
    I have plugged a different iPod into this charger and it charges just fine.
    So, it's the iPod its self.
    I read an article somewhere and it said that
    If your iPod is formatted to work with Macintosh, windows will not read it.
    So, I'm thinking my iPod is formatted for Macintosh, (I cannot format it for windows), because it is completely dead, and it won't turn on.
    So, should I try a wall charger as my last resort to try and get it to turn on?!
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • Brand new ipod Touch (8GB) does not work with DHCP

    I have a brand new iPod Touch (8GB) that will not work using DHCP. No matter what I do (reset router, reset ipod) the DHCP still doesn't work. I can manually setup an IP/Gateway/netmask/etc. and it works but I really need the DHCP to work if at all possible. I'm using a Linksys WRT54G. I was able to use an old Linksys wireless router and the touch gets an IP, etc. with no problems but I can not get my Touch to work with the WRT54G. Any ideas?

    its possible to have a bad power supply that has too much AC ripple on the output which can make the screen do weird things

  • Is there a way to move my library from old ipod to new ipod if i do not have my old hard drive

    I have an issue on my old ipod with the sound coming through headphones...after troubleshooting found something is wrong with my old ipod (from like 2006) and i just bought a brand new one and want to be able to move my songs from my old ipod to my new one in windows platform environment.  The issue is I don't have my original hard drive with the Itunes library on it on which I originally purchased my songs.  Is there a way at all to download my songs from my old ipod to my new computer's hard drive and then move them from that hard drive to the new ipod?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I am a novice at this so please be user friendly and not a lot of computer jargon please if possible...if you can outline steps that would be great.

    You can only transfer items that you have purchased from the iTunes Store. The article below will give the steps on how to do that.

  • New iPod Classic 160 GB not read by MacBook

    My new iPod Classic 160 GB is not read by my MacBook.  It doesn't show up in Finder or in iTunes.  What can I do so my computer recognizes it?

    Swap to another USB 2.0 port and dont use any USB HUB. (only one of the Macbook USB port can be use for iPod Classic)
    If that doesn't work, use another  USB cable.
    When you connect to the Macbook USB port, the iPod screen should show this symbol.
    Battery charging (lightning bolt
    or
    If you get just the menu screen, it means there is no signal or power coming across the cable from the Macbook to the iPod.

  • Syncing my New iPod - Some files do not transfer

    I just upgraded from 30GB to 80GB and when I went to sync my new iPod it left out like 5 (of 2550) songs and 40 videos (of 80+). I changed to Manually manage and was able to add the files, however, I wish to keep auto sync on and don't like the idea of manually doing it. I can not see any reason why these files were left out of the sync. It is not an authorization problem as all of my videos were purchased from iTunes Store and half of them were transfered. I only have one iTunes account so it is not multiple authorizations. Can anyone help me with this?
    Custom Built   Windows XP Pro  

    I was thinking that this was a file type error, but when you manually transfered over media onto your iPod, everything worked fine?
    Try keeping the Auto Sync feature on for a while and see if any new media it finds is automatically transfered over.
    Hope it helps!

  • New Ipod through warranty, itunes not reading it

    I got a new ipod through my warranty b/c my ipod malfunctioned. Now my itunes wont recognize the new ipod b/c it is not the same one. I did not recieve a new itunes cd or anything. do you know how to get itunes to recognize it?
      Windows XP  

    does it have to do with the fact it is no longer the same ipod?
    no, once it's formatted properly it should show up for you.
    let's check on some of the usual suspects.
    while you've got the ipod plugged in, go into "My Computer". does it appear in there?
    if it doesn't appear in there, try:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes on Windows
    ... but if it does appear in there, try:
    iPod for Windows: Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported
    iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
