Only one earphone works...earphones or iPod?

I got my iPod nano 4GB 2nd generation a couple of months ago and for about a month the Right earphone has stopped working or only works after I fiddle with the jack for a few minutes and even then it only works for a few seconds or minutes if I'm lucky. I tried a different pair of earphones (Panasonic) and still the same prolem in the right earbud. This makes me think it's the iPod and not the earphones. Will resetting the iPod fix this? Do I need to send it back to get fixed/replaced? I don't want to reset it unless I have to, just looking for some words of wisdom. Thanks

It should be easy enough for you to try another set of headphones... just to eliminate that problem. It sounds like there may be a problem with the headphone jack though... especially if moving the plug makes it work and not work. A reset won't likely fix that. Stop by your local Apple store (if you have one) and ask if they have a pair of earphones you can try out. You can complete an online service request for your Nano. Apple will ship you out a box to return yours and, in all likelihood, will send you back a new one. Just make sure the headphones aren't at fault first.

Only one podcast works on my ipod

On my itunes i have two different podcasts "canucks tv sportsnet specials" and "vancouver canucks video podcast". I have downloaded several episodes from each podcast onto my itunes. For some reason the only the "vancouver canucks video podcast" shows up on my ipod.. why would this be?
any help would be very appriciated, as i am desperate to figure out this problem. =)
Message was edited by: i dont know what "alias" means

I am having this problem too. I encode most of my podcast audio as 64kbps mono. I can stream the files using the iTunes app on my iphone but when I download the audio via iTunes app on my iPhone and then try to play it, it fails.
I had a podcast recording which I downloaded to my phone before upgrading to iOS 4.3 - it still played. To test that it wasn't something wrong with my latest mp3 files, I deleted the recording from my iPhone and downloaded it again via the iTunes app. This time it refused to play.
The funny thing is - I have 2 podcasts available via the iTunes store and 1 of them still works on my iPhone....even though the audio is exactly the same format.

Why does only one earphone play sound whilst listening to music?

When i play music or what not, only one earphone you can hear from. The ipod is less than two months old and hasn't been dropped or anything!

Have you tried other earphones?
Does the one pair work OK in other devices?
Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen or so time.
To rule out a software problem try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

You can try cleaning the headphone jack. However, I suspect that th headphone jack needs replacement.
Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price.

When I plug in headphones or use audio jack only one speaker works.

I have an iphone 4g. When I plug in headphones only one side works. When I plug into my car audio jack...only one car speaker works.

There is only one speaker, the other side is the microphone.

It seems I cannot use Sky Go even if I use Firefox. The only one that works is IE 11.

I was using Google Chrome, but it seems they do not support Silverlight which Sky Go use. I was told that Firefox would work. It doesn't. The only one that works is Internet Explorer 11, which is very slooow. Why can't I use Firefox to view Sky Go?

My Sky homepage. If I want to watch cricket say, it come up with ' sky go unavailable at this present moment'. If I log on to my IE 11, sky go works Ok. I have the Silverlight add-on or plug-in whatever you call it.
Still no joy in Firefox.

I've placed two Edge oam files in to a dps doc and only one will work, can anyone help?

Hi, I've created one animation and tested it in dps and it works fine. I've repeated this and my second animation is fine also, but when I have them in the same doc only one will work.
Has anyone had this problem or know of any suggestions?
I'm using Edge CC and Indesign CC with the latest viewer release on my iPad.
Thanks

Hi, yes I'm using the most up to date tools (v27). I've tried also setting the delays to various different increments, this doesn't make a difference.
Although this is an old post I wonder if it is the same issue - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5615731#5615731

I down loaded a 3 Part audiobook but only one part plays on my ipod touch. All parts did play when first downloaded. Whats gone wrong?

I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
- Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

This being the Mac mini forum, I naturally presumed you were asking about a mini. But in any case, there's only speaker in an iPhone as well.

Sound in only one earphone - It's not the earphones though

I just bought a pair of refurbished 1st gen. shuffles from Apple in Nov. After a couple of weeks, one of the stopped plaing music through one side of the earphones. I thought I blew the earphone, so I grab another pair, same thing. Same thing with the 3rd pair.
So, for some reason, my shuffle is only playing audio via one earphone. Any ideas for a fix? No chance at a warrenty fix (I think).

Only One LED works when shuffle turns on

hi, i just bought my 2nd gen ipod shuffle, i turned it on to find only one LED shows the battery status. Both LEDs work for everything else apart from when i turn it on.
Is this a problem or is it just normal?
Thanks in Advance

Not to worry... it's normal behavior.

Only one channel working - fixable?

Recently my ipod starting playing only one channel through headphones or a speaker jack - eg I can hear only whatever is coming through the left side speaker. I've verified that the problem is with the ipod, not the headphones. However, if I put pressure from a specific angle on the headphone cord right above where it connects to the ipod, both L and R channels work. This goes away again when the pressure is released.
Has this happened to anybody else? Is it a fixable problem?
Thanks!

You need to replace the headphone jack on the iPod.

2 thunderbolt displays worked fine daisy chained, moved one to work in other room, now only one will work. both work independantly or both plugged into my macbook pro.

I have 2 thunderbolt displays and have had them daisy chained for months where I only would plug one into my macbook pro 15" retina and both displays have worked great. The other day I moved one of them into the conference room, connected also a HDMI cord to a projector to do some work with staff on software design.
I brought my thunderbolt back into my office and plugged it back into the other thunderbolt dispay, then plugged the other display back into my macbook and started it up and now I can only get one to work daisy chained. They both work great independantly or if both of them are plugged into my macbook pro, but not daisy chained any longer.
Is there a setting I need to look at to maybe reset so that my macbook pro will use both thunderbolt displays daisy chained?
Thanks for anyones advice and sharing any similar issues and how you fixed the issue.

Hi there,
The first thing that I would recomend is resetting the PRAM on your portable.
OS X Mountain Lion: Reset your computer’s PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph11243
If the issues persist, then you may need to force the device to detect displays.
OS X Mountain Lion: About the Display pane of System Preferences

How can I detect displays?
If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.

Why is 1080i the only one that works for my slideshow.

Well... I'm getting to my breaking point.
First my system.. Mac Pro 2.66 2x300gb raid 0. x1900 ACD 30
5gb Ram
I have read many many posts.. but I still need your help.
I have found that the only thing that gives me a marketable slideshow in terms of quality images is to make a slideshow in imovie under 1080i.
The problem with this is that it really really slows my computer down, and I don't want to do this with a slide show of about 150 images per client, and then have wait more for transistions.
Shouldn't I start a new slideshow in "DV" setting for a 4x3?
I have tried reducing res from 10.2 mp to a 1024x??? settting for images (depending on orientation). All I seem to lose here is a bit of sharpening as I reduce the image resolution, which makes sense if I understand correctly.
So... Where to go from here.
I read the posts.. and have determined that I can use Photo to move (which I have) to make clips and import them into Imovie. Again, a slow process as each clip has to be done seperatly. Is there another way with PTM, because it does render the best Ken burns effect I have seen. Again 150 images is too long to wait to make a slide show of a wedding, not cost effective for me.
Hope someone can help.

Anyone??
When I make a movie in 1080 or 720.. it takes alot of resources and slows things down.
Just wondering why choosing those options are the only ones that seem to work
I really need to get it into 4x3 format too.

Only one earphone works...earphones or iPod?
