Only 1 Ear Bud Will Work

I can only get one ear bud to play. I tried several different pairs (all of which work fine on my son's Nano) and still I'm stuck with mono. Any ideas? Thanks!

I have a similar problem. I have found two solutions (instead of paying ridiculous repair prices).
1. Do not push headphone jack in all the way. Unfortunately, this means that the jack may fall depending on your location/activity while listening.
2. I am using the smallest binder clip I could find, and attaching it at the bottom of the nano near the headphone jack. If I find the right spot, both headphones will work. The problem with this solution is that if you're strapping the Nano to your arm, you have this silly little binder clip attached as well. Kind of a pain.
Hope this helps folks!

My ear buds will not work unless i hold the plug in

Can not get my ear bud to work unless I hold the plug snug to the phone if I let go it they do not work What is the problem ?

the the headset connector is a common type which have been used for many many many years
the sony walkmen in the 80's had the same connector and if you connected your iphone headset to an old 80's walkman it would work
but if you did (or any other device with a mini jack 3.5mm connector) and it only worked if you hold the plug in then your headset is damaged and require a replacement

I phone 5 left channel on ear buds not working

We just bought I phone 5 phones. My husbands left ear channl on his ear buds stopped working . We changed ear buds and it started to work then stopped. We went to the Apple store and had the phone exchanged. Reloaded everything and now it has stopped working on his new phone. Any suggestions would help . Thanks

Make sure the plug is fully seated; there should be no gap at all between the backshell of the plug and the phone. The last millimeter is sometimes difficult to close; you must push hard. If it is not fully seated the result will be the symptom you are describing.

HELP! RIGHT EAR BUD STOPPED WORKING

My new In-Ear headphone's right ear bud stopped working all of the sudden!
Did I broke the tweeter, or the woofer?
If yes, how do I replace it?

Are they the newer earbuds with the remote/mic on the right cord? With mine, the right earbud it also not working and I've figured out that it's a connection issue having to do with the remote. Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix it yet.

I own a HP Envy100 eAll-in-One d4100 and the only App that will work is Snapfish,

All others show a connection error - Touchsmart is not responding.

My screen wont turn on, and the screen is black. It was working fine, but then it just turned off. The only way it will work is if I close my laptop, and pinch the two screens together

You have a hardware problem and you should take it into a apple store to be looked at and fixed.

Ear buds not working

New Ear Buds not working, I have made all kind of checks and adjustments.
Thanks.

They are the original ones with the iphone5, and yes I suppose they are under warranty. I don't have any other buds to experiment with. Are there any settings I can play with?
Could there be a phone issue?
Thanks.

Ear buds not working. Not due to broken headphones, so it must be the connector in the iPod that is not working.

On my iPod Classic, the right ear bud does not work and the left one spots off and on. The music works fine on a dock, and I know it is not due to broken headphones (a problem I've encountered many times), because they work fine on other iPods, other headphones have the same problem on this iPod, so it must be the connector in the iPod that is not working. Can I fix this myself, do I need to take it in to get it fixed, or do I need a new iPod?

Yes, if you got very steady hands, and you must have the correct tools to open the Ipod. (which is the most difficult part).
For the parts, you can buy off ebay, the audio jack and cable, less than $20 I think.
Those plastic opening tools that they are selling only works for cases that has been opened before, they dont worked for sealed virgin iPod cases.
The screws are quite tiny, so be careful, it might jump out off the window or into the some hole, so better lay white sheets of paper on the floor.
Here is a 4 minute video on how to do it.

My ipod classic 5th generation is not playing any kind of audio. i tried resetting it and i used multiple speakers/ear buds. nothing worked. do you have any other suggestions?

My ipod classic (5th generation) is not playing any audio. when i play a song the little picture of the album cover comes up and the seconds clock and the blue line come up and change/move, but there is no sound. i have tried multiple speakers/ear buds and i have tried to reset it but notheing worked.
What should i do?

Assuming that you actually have the volume turned up (you don't say that you have, after all), make sure that the Volume Limit is not turned all the way down.
Look in the Settings/Volume Limit menu. The small arrow controls the volume as well.

HT4279 Only two screens will work on my 5870 Radeon

I have a 6 core 3.33Ghz Mac pro running latest lion software. Just fitted a 5870 Radeon.
Only two of the three screens will work at any one time. A 24" Apple Cinema HD (Dvi) and two Dell 1708FP (these have an DVi to mini port adaptor each).
I have swopped them round to all possible configurations. Changed leads etc etc.
Can anyone help please

To get three screens to work with adapters, all adapters must be ACTIVE, POWERED adapters. Apple Dual-Link adapters for this job work fine, but are pricey. These are more that ATI has tested:

Many are available on Amazon, but shop with great care, as Amazon's search is "fuzzy" and will include stuff that does not quite match (and will not quite work).

TS2634 I bought a ipad back in December and the ear buds never worked. The sound doesnt come out of what you put in your ear but comes out of the little hole on the outside of the ear buds. Is this supposed to be this way?

The earbuds that came with my ipad have never worked. They have sound that comes out of the outside hole of the earbuds. When you put them in your ears no sound can be heard. Has this been a problem or did mine just come broken?

I have the same problem and it has just started in the last day or so...
Got the phone late July and then in the last day, everytime I plug into PC or take a photo, I get the same "Disk Error / Retry message"
What is interesting is that I always had the Photo Storage location as the Memory Card (detachable). Seems odd that sometime in the last month or so the phone decided to change my setting to the Mass Memory. Might have been an firmware update that I have done in the past but not sure.
Changing the Photo Storage Location back to the Memory Card has stopped the error coming up everytime a Photo wastaken, but the message continues when I plug in the phone to the PC.
Phone was just updated to latest firmware this morning and that has not helped, although during the back-up process I could not save some files from the Mass Memory.
I wonder if Optus will shout a new phone because their technicians are useless with past experiences and to be honest the N97 really promises so much but offers very little compared to all of my last Nokia's.

Z2 Right Noise Cancelling Ear bud not working - MULTIPLE repair attempts

I am not happy with the service I have received from Sony support in the last months.
I bought my Z2 in September and after 3 weeks the right earbud of my noise cancelling headset provided with the phone stopped working 100% of the time. By moving the jack connection it would come and go. This did NOT happen with my third party earphones and when trying in the Three store I bought the device in, my suspect noise cancelling phones worked with the Z2 on display OK.
My phone was sent in first time in end of Sept/start of Oct and after I got it back the issue remained and the service log showed only a flashing of the software happened.
I then contacted Sony Xperia support again to complain and was told all I could do was return the phone AGAIN to check the QA process used.
This happened and I returned the phone again. I received the phone back today and the issue still persists! Again no hardware changes made.
I am very angry now and have lost all confidence in Sony support and would not recommend another Xperia product based on this.
What I need is for someone from Sony to call me and discuss how this will be solved.

Sorry to hear that, but you have to cotact your local Xperia Care

Firefox is no longer compatible with Walgreen photo web site - Walgreen says only Internet Explorer will work - will this be fixed?

I have used Firefox for years but recently I've had instances where Firefox will not work with some web sites. The most recent is Walgreens photo. I spent about an hour being frustrated then called Walgreens. They told me that I had to use Internet Explorer. Sure enough it worked fine. Can Firefox be made compatible with Walgreen's web site?

Walgreens would need to make their web site compatible with Firefox.

Have you visited Google's website regarding how to create and access a 2nd Gmail account with an iOS device that is protected by the Google verification code?
