One headphone does not work

My left head phone made by apple does not work very well.
The sound quality on the left one is very poor and it's volume is very quiet compared to my right headphone.
I have tried other headphones to work with my iPod but the left one still does not work.
This has happened to other people I know, they sent it in to Apple, and Apple did nothing to the iPod. IT IS NOT THE HEADPHONES.
The iPod is the part that has the problem.

If you have tried different headphones with your iPod
and only one channel is working then probably a
connection between the jack and the logic board has
broken. This has been happending with headphone jacks
since they have had headphone jacks.
All too often it is caused by jerking the headphone
plug out of the jack, and it ends up coming out
slightly at an angle. This can cause pressure on the
jack and break a solder. Other times it is just a
factory defect. If you are sending yours in they will
fix it either way, but in the future I'd be very
careful when plugging in or removing the headphone
plug.
I'd went through a series of Sony high-end cassette players that had this exact problem...luckily my credit card's insurance covered their replacement given that they all failed after the Sony 90 day warrant expired. As a matter of act it was that experience that brought me to Apple iPods.

  • One headphone does not work or works 50% of the time.  What is best way to resolve?

    one headphone does not work or works 50% of the time.  What is best way to resolve?

    First of all, I'd recomend resetting the iPod. Do this by pressing the 'Menu' and 'Center" buttons for 10 seconds or until the Apple logo appears.
    If this doesn't work, then it sounds like a hardware fault.
    To identify the issue, if you have one, try plugging the iPod into a speaker through the dock. If this works, then the issue is with the headphone jack. If not then the logic board is dead.  If the iPod is less than a year old, then it can be repaired by Apple for free. Just book an appointment for the Genius bar.
    If not then, you could see about sending it to an iPod Repair Company, such as my own. A replacement headphone jack would cost £30.00 in the UK, including next day delivery. Other companies you could try would beUKiPodRepairs, but we guarantee to beat any quote that you get.

  • Go back one page does not work

    Since I had to reinstall Firefox 3.6.15, the "go back one Page" does not work in many cases. Sometimes by clicking on history and manually returning, it works. Id there a fix for this problem, because it is new.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • What can I do for the following situation: I think my insert slot for the headphones does not work; when I put in any cable that should and can go in all I hear is low frequent static sounds.

    You might try talking to the Apple store manager and see if you don't get more help...you might also contact Apple.com/support and see if they can give you a contact with the Apple Italy offices.
    Sounds like you have two levels of failure, the first shop that did the repair and broke a wire, and the second that has disabled something else and isn't helping.
    Apple officially refurbished equipment is usually good quality.  Surprising this has happened but you need to press on with complaints and try for resolution.

  • Continuous with the problem, the headphone does not work after having my iphone ios 8.0.2 updated

    the headset does not work after having my iphone ios 8.0.2 updated to me is very annoying to have to be answering speakerphone is not private and can not go with the hands-free all the time

    I had the same issue until I updated my apps through iTunes. I had over 100 updates, but none of them showed on my iPod. After they updated everything started syncing like it is supposed. Go to the apps library and check for updates. After everything syncs leave your iPhone/ipod/ipad connected if the spinning arrows at the top is still spinning. It means that things are still being added. If you go to settings > general > about, you will see it loading songs, videos, photos, etc. If you back out of "about" and then go back to it you will see the numbers for each one change.

    Hi gurus,
    Basically I have pruchased that super-printer and I am now trying to achieve scan to my mobile devices.
    I have one iPad 2 on iOS 7, on 2 Android devices (smaller tablet and phone) both running Kitkat 4.4.2
    I am trying to submit a scan from all these devices and retrieve the output within my mobile devices, actually this is fairly described here and concerns accurately my printer model :  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02486319&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&destPage=pr...
    Unfortunately, What happens :
    - From my iPad, the AiO app states that my printer is not compatible with the application !!
    - From my 2 Android devices, the All-in-One Remote app will work fine, except the scan feature as nothing happens (well, when tapping either 'Preview' or 'Scan' button in the Scan section, I see a 'Cancel' button during 0,1 second and I am back to that scan section)
    Any one could help please ???
    This question was solved.

    Hello,
    Can no one help ?
    Is the product description misleading ? Is the AiO app not really reasy to support this printer ?

  • Headphone does not work anymore. What should I do?

    The factory headphone came with my iphone stopped working today(well one ear has no sound anymore), since it is still under one year factory limited warranty should I take the headphone back to the apple store to exchange for a new one? What are you suggestions? Thank you.

    Make an appointment with a Genius at your local Apple Store genius bar -- they will just swap it out for a new one for you when you bring it in.,
    Note that they will usually NOT do that unless you have an appointment with the Genius Bar and direct you to purchase a new one...OR make an appointment with the Genius bar.
    Save yourself time -- go online to apple.com to your local Apple store, get a Genius Bar appointment, and bring in your nonfunctional headphones at the appointed time. They literally just take them from behind the counter and hand you a new one. That is the same that applies for charger or sync cords or bricks that go wrong -- iPhones, iPods, Macs, etc. -- but it is done by the Genius Bar, not the floor employees nor concierges.

  • Spry Navigation does not work in IE version 6

    I have a simple spry navigation bar at the top of website that works in all the browsers I tested it in, ie IE ver 7 and 8, Mozilla Firefox (all versions), Netscape (all versions), and Safari. The only one I can't it to work in is IE version 6. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I am attaching a copy of both browsers, one that does not work and one that does.
    Thanks for your help.

    I have the same problem. Looks great in FF, Safari, Opera,
    but in IE the dropdowns are dancing all over the place. Suspect
    it's something in the hover classification, but can't figure out

  • Dell laptop headphone jack does not work when playing audio and video in Firefox 27

    My problem is similar to the one posted in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/986978?esab=a&s=laptop+headphones+don%27t+work+with+firefox&r=2&fpa=1&as=s
    I believe it has little to nothing to do with extensions.
    I have just installed Firefox 27 on the Dell Inspiron 3520 laptop of a friend. She is an unsophisticated user who has a computer for email, simple web browsing, and watching YouTube and other online videos. Because she frequently seems to end up with junk on her machine, I wanted to switch her over to Firefox so I could install ad and script blockers that would hopefully slow down the frequency of adware and malware roosting in her system.
    The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 3520 with an Intel celeron CPU (64-bit), running Windows 8. There are standard end-user applications installed (Adobe Reader, VLC Media Player, etc.), but no tweaking utilities, etc. The audio drivers are Cirrus Logic High Definition Audio.
    I've been troubleshooting the laptop today trying to track down why the integrated speakers continue to work when the headphones are plugged in, with no sound coming through the headphones. Because I had run a series of virus / malware / adware scans just before installing Firefox, I thought I had mistakenly deleted some system audio files.
    It finally became clear after toggling multiple settings, playing with Windows and Dell sound settings, and experimenting, that the headphone audio jack still works as it should in the system itself (for example, playing videos through VLC Media Player) and in Internet Explorer. It is only in Firefox that plugging in the headphones does not send audio through the headphones nor cut out the integrated speakers.
    Sometimes there is a silencing of the integrated speakers for a few seconds, but then the audio kicks in again. (I am using YouTube and a certain movie streaming website to test the audio).
    However, if the headphones are plugged in before starting the videos, the sound comes through the headphones, but unplugging the headphones, then reinserting them, stimulates problem again. Not only that, but then in YouTube the video will stall and can't be restarted until the page is reloaded.
    Again, this is a fresh Firefox install of less than 24 hours, with only Adblock, Adblock Plus Pop-up Addition, Flashblock, and NoScript installed. There are no themes installed and most of the Options are the defaults that are set upon installation.
    I have both disabled the add-ons and uninstalled them entirely before testing the headphone funtionality. In both instances the problem persisted. I've also uninstalled and let Windows re-install the Cirrus audio drivers.
    Does anyone else have any insight into this problem, and any potential solutions other than "start in Safe Mode" and "reset Firefox"?

    Firefox can switch audio devices within ~ a + or - 10 minute period or so (Just a guess). At which point it latches onto the audio device and will never change until the entire process is shutdown (read last paragraph, there is an exception)
    Ive had this problem for a few months now, at least. And I switch back and forth from my sound system and my wireless USB headset.
    If anything will fix this i believe it would be disabling "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in the properties of your default audio device, but i doubt it. I think this is an issue regarding the code in firefox itself.
    I'd like to see this turned into a default feature, being able to disable and enable the ability to stay on whichever device was the default at the time of launch, or to always play on the current default device, even if its changed. That or being able to choose a specific device/devices (WOULD LOVE TO THIS).
    Other than that I dont really have a solution, and I kind of doubt anyone will unless its addressed in the next update.
    Oh I thought of one solution that doesnt require restarting firefox, disable the current audio device and the sound will automatically switch to the next available device. Or possibly when a new device is introduced?? I havent done much testing on the matter though. This is just my best guess based on my personal experience with firefox.

  • Bluetooth does not work correctly with Siemens Tek Connect headphone device

    I hopefully tried the new bluetooth support in OS 3.0, but it does not work with my Siemens Tek Connect headphone device. It syncs as expected, but no sound is heard. I can choose the Tek Connect in the music app and other programs, my headphone (actually my two hearing aids, which are connected wireless with ear to ear communications (e2e) via the Tek Connect necklace device) signals the connection to me (a beep), but nothing is heard. Codec problem?
    Andreas

    I own Phonak hearing aids with their Bluetooth-capable iCom device which allows my aids to be used as a phone headset and also supports the A2DP stereo bluetooth profile. My iPod Touch 2Gen 32GB is able to play to my hearing aids properly.
    One thing I noticed is that the iPod does not allow you to control the volume when using Bluetooth. It expects the headphones to be able to control the volume. Have you used your hearing aids as Bluetooth headphones on any other device? Maybe the device isn't programmed properly to set the volume while in headphones mode. I know my audiologist had to program the volume on each mode separately on my device.
    My MacBook Pro is able to play music over Bluetooth to my hearing aids fine. But I have never gotten Windows to work properly sending audio to my hearing aids. Do you have a Mac with Bluetooth? Try to get that working to see if it's your hearing aid device that's causing the trouble or not.

  • The headphone jack on my iPad2 does not work

    The headphone jack on my iPad2 does not work. I have tried plugging and unplugging the headset, resetting the device, and buying new headphones. None of these have worked. Any suggestions?

    If you are too lazy to deal with the problem and just want to never use the headphone jack, buy one of these in line remotes instead

  • My ringer does not work on my phone (not sure what happened, didn't smash it, nor did it fall to the ground), and I have been on silent/vibrate mode for a few months now. Unfortunately I am unable to listen to music without headphones, or get on speaker.

    I can hear sounds when I plug in to headphones or on bluetooth (streaming audio from my car).
    Can anyone help?
    I have the iphone 4s.
    Thank you!

    Hey Chris,
    Unfortunately the ringer does not work - which causes the speaker to not work when it's switched on to ring mode, unless I'm on bluetooth. It has recently stopped working and I've had this phone for 2 years.
