Remote on apple earphones doesn't work with iPod Touch 4G :(

Hi I have two in-ear earphones, the Apple one and the V-Moda RRMT, the one with the remote similar to Apple's. I've heard volume control works with iPhone 3GS, and have tried both earphones in iPad and they both work. Recently I bought an iPod Touch 4 and found that the volume control of Apple works while V-Moda's doesn't. Since both earphones (presumably) uses the same tech to control the volume, my current thinking is there may just be a problem with the way I'm plugging in the V-Moda earphone. I've tried reseating it several times and I still haven't been able to resolve this issue.
After scouring the google and the v-moda site, I still couldn't find any definitive confirmation that iPod Touch 4 doesn't support V-Moda's volume control. I'd like to know if V-Moda's volume control is compatible with iPod Touch 4 or not, and also the possible reasons why they don't work together.
I was looking at the earphone jack earlier and I found that regular earphone jacks only have 2 bands, while earphones that connect to iOS devices have 3 bands, so I'm guessing the 3rd band is what Apple uses for all of the extra functionalities such as Mic, Play-Pause-Talk, and Volume Control. Upon further inspection I saw that the 3rd band is not wholly covered in iPod Touch 4, could it be that the input signal coming from the V-Moda remote isn't strong enough to be received by the earphone jack of iPod touch because it doesn't fully encircle the third band? Any clarification on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried turning your iPod off and back on? My son wasn't able to see the AirPlay icon until he did that. He has a 4G Touch and I have a 3G, but we still don't have AirPlay working correctly. It connects and disconnects randomly, but we are able to see the icon most of the time.

  • Plantronics Voyager 855 doesn't work with ipod touch 3rd gen OS 3.1.3

    I have a ipod touch 32G 3rd generation, OS 3.1.3, try to pair with Plantronics Voyager 855, can't find it at all. in the mean time, my nokia n95 find it immediately.
    And also try to pari Plantronics Voyager 855 with my macbook pro, OSX 10.6.2, can't find it either. in the mean time my sony vaio find it immediately.
    Am I miss something? Anyone can help?

    The Touch only works with bluetooth headphones, not headsets. A subtle, but important difference.

  • HT5706 I am trying to set up Apple TV with my Uverse WiFi, but I get errors when entering my password.  One site said that Apple TV doesn't work with WPA which Uverse uses.  Is there anyway around this or will Uverse and Apple TV just not work together.

    Trying to set up Apple TV with ATT Uverse.  I get errors when trying to enter my WiFi password.  One site says that Apple TV doesn't work with Uverse because it uses WPA for encryption.  If true, does that mean Uverse subscribers cannot use Apple TV?

    No, that's a rather silly conclusion.
    There are two options:
    stop using the crappy router provided by the ISP.
    Physically connect the ATV to the router via Ethernet.

  • Will FM receiver work with iPod Touch?

    Hi there! I haven't posted for a while...
    I really want an iPod Touch, and have been doing my research online...one of the main complains that keeps coming up is that the iPod Touch doesn't have a volume button. I have a 1st gen iPod Nano, and for that I have an FM receiver (Apple brand, not some cheapo junk). If I can use that with a Touch, then there would be no problem, but the new iPod receiver box doesn't mention that it works with the Touch. If anyone has tried it and could tell me, that would be awesome.
    Just one last thing...I also read that people were having problems with the colour black on their screens, that it appeared all shimmery. Has a patch come through for that, or has it been fixed?
    Thank you in advance!
    Alex

    - No, Apple's iPod Radio Remote does not work with iPod touch. Look for compatible devices on the online Apple Store.
    - I don't think a patch can solve it, but the screen problem was only in the beginning, I don't think it's still an issue.

  • IOS 7 doesn't work on iPod touch 4g, so does the mean its the end for this device? Or are they going to make updates specially for lower devices an apps that are compatible ??

    iOS 7 doesn't work on iPod touch 4g, so does the mean its the end for this device? Or are they going to make updates specially for lower devices an apps that are compatible ??

    Which apps remain compatible will be up to the individual developers who sell those apps. There will be no further iOS updates, but those aren't really necessary to continue to use and enjoy your device. I still have an iPad 1 running on iOS 5, and it is fully functional.
    The App Store has an app called VintApps 3.1.1 that is specifically geared toward iOS 3.1, however, you would probably be able to run most of those apps on your iPod, and considering that there will be a rather large market for iOS 6 apps users, it is not likely that you will see a significant reduction in choices any time soon.
    It is not the end for the device in any sense except that it is at it's ultimate iOS level. And again, I have an iPad that is at it's ultimate iOS level (iOS 5), and I get new apps all the time that work for both my iPad and my iPhone that runs iOS 6.1.1
    No need to fret....

  • Apple TV doesn't work with HDMI Switch

    Apple TV doesn't seem to work with my HDMI Switch. Tried every combination of cables. Tried switching all devices on and off at different times. Googled to see if anyone else has tried a switcher with Apple TV. All I know is: PlayStation 3 works just fine running through the switcher. Apple TV doesn't work at all with the switcher, only when plugged directly into the TV.
    I only have one HDMI port on my Samsung HDTV and two HDMI devices (PlayStation 3, Apple TV). All my component slots are full and I already have a component switcher that's full, too. So HDMI is the only option for me.
    Any ideas? Switcher claims to support HDCP... and it does do HD resolutions (PS3 displaying in 720p).

    I use this 5x1 switch from Monoprice and it works fine, switching 3 devices, which are then routed through my AV receiver's switch... Despite the convoluted hookup, I have not had HDCP handshake issues.

    The nice thing about this switch is:
    1. It works: no discernable loss in quality, switches relatively quickly, etc.
    2. It's cheaper than many others, like Gefen, or even the Xtrememac (which is 4x1)
    3. The remote has discrete buttons for each input, which is very helpful when setting up a universal remote like my Harmony 880. I can't tell from the Xtrememac picture if it's a direct input, or if you can only cycle through the inputs...
    Good luck!

  • Apple tv doesn't work with my receiver

    I updated my apple tv 3 and now it doesn't work with my Denon AVR-591 receiver.  When I called Denon they said unfortunately the firmware on my receiver doesn't update and therefore may not work with certain devices.  Is this possible?

  • Apple Universal Dock works with iPod Touch 3G right?

  • Belkin stereo doesn't work on iPod Touch 2g??!!

    Hi,
    I just bought that little Belkin stereo attachment for audio recording using my iPod Touch 2g, but it doesn't seem to work! Or at least I don't know how. The manaul for the stereo only has directions for using it on iPod nano 2g, iPod nano 3g, iPod 5g, and iPod classic! What the heck?!! I asked the clerk at Apple Store whether there's a stereo attachment for my iPod Touch, and this was what he gave me.
    The last day for me to return this thing is Thursday, so can someone please help me out. I'll call the place tomorrow but for now, does anyone know if these 2 devices are compatible?
    Thanks a lot!

    Why don't you try contacting Belkin - as they make the device, they would be the obvious people to ask for a definitive answer. You'll probably find Belkin's contact details, web address etc. on the box, or in the instructions.
    However, if the manual doesn't mention the iPod touch, that suggests its only compatible with the iPods they have listed.
    If it is this product that you have bought:
    http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=277661
    then as it says on the web-site, it is only for iPod nano 2nd generation & iPod 5th generation (video). Belkin don't make a microphone compatible with iPod touch according to their website.

  • IPhoto doesn't work on iPod Touch

    Hi there,
    On my iPad 2, I bought iPhoto. But I can't find it on my iTouch.
    Can it work on iPod Touches? When I went to "Purchased" in the App Store, I saw iPhoto, but when I clicked on its little cloud to download it, I got a notification saying it doesn't work on my iTouch, and I need a "digital compass"? I have no clue what that means.

    The requirments say:
    Requirements: Compatible with iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iPad (3rd generation) and iPad Wi-Fi + 4G.Requires iOS 5.1 or later
    Note, the iPod touch is not included.

  • Remote App doesn't work with iPod 2nd Gen or iPhone 3G

    I have been using till recently the "Remote" app to control a Apple Express base station from an iPod 2nd Generation (and it also would work from iPhone 3G. It worked great.
    Today, I noticed that it is not working. I am getting a message that says the the update of the App is no longer compatible with the iPod or the iPhone that I was using.  Both of them are running Version 4.2.1
    Does anybody know anyway to get the iPod 2nd generation or the iPhone 3G to be compatible with the "Remote" app?  Is there anywork around. 
    My teenager loved to be able to control the tunes in his room with one of these devices. 
    I appreciate any advice or help you can offer. 

    Maybe:

    If you have a copy of the Remote app in your iTunes library that is compatible with your iPod delete the app from your iPod/iPhone and sync the app to yur device.
    If not, delete the version in you iTunes library and transfer/copy the app to your iTunes library by

    There is no way to the later version on your devices.
