Remote on Headphones not working...and it isn't fluff

Hi,
So today randomly the remote on my (latest Apple) headphones stopped working. As in it won't play, pause, skip, adjust the volume, or start voice control. I know it's not the "fluff" people on other threads have talked about swabbing out of your headphone jack because a) I tried that and b) the remote doesn't work on multiple devices I've use it with in the past. I don't know if this is related to the wire because I hear sound out of the right plug, but the remote on the right wire doesn't work. And this literally just happened today.
I bought an iPod touch 4G last September w/ Apple Care, and then bought the remote headphones for $30 from apple in February. Does the AppleCare cover these, even if I didn't buy them with the iPod? (probably not, stupid question). Can I swap these for new ones after 7 1/2 months? I'm not paying $30 AGAIN because the remote feature just stopped working one day, in the middle of a bunch of days of normal usage. And that feature is the reason I went and spent the $30.
Any suggestions? Any policy/warranty stuff? Anything will be appreciated since I use the play/pause/volume buttons pretty much every day.
Thanks!
Jake

I would bring them into your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and demonstrate this issue to them. The headphones should still be covered under the 1 year warranty against manufacturer defects meaning Apple should swap them out of for you. Either way, a trip your local Apple Store would be your next best bet.

My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested. How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
Peace,

When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck. Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch. If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside. If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.
Ciao.

Would you rather upgrade to windows 8, BlackBerry or Android phones? Do you honestly think those don't have problems?
You waited a lot and chose to buy an early production model. Mistakes happen all the time a factory retools and workers relearn new skills necessary to keep US happy.
Exercise your rights.... Send it back for a new one.
In any case, I feel your frustration. Btw, I love Apple but use a Blackberry

Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Hp Pavilion Dv 9000 no audio, quick lunch soft touch not working and no light indicators

Good Evening i have problems with my laptop since it was sent to me without a hard disk drive so i have to buy a new one to make it work, first here are some useful information regarding my laptop.
Hp pavilion dv 9000
OS: Windows Vista Home premium
HDD1: 250Gb
Ram: 1030mb
so when i got the hard disk drive, i installed windows vista as its operating system and so far it worked well, and after that i downloaded drivers from HP's website, with correct laptop model and os, i searched for the most compatible drivers that will make my laptop function 100%
i installed
NVIDIA Chipset driver
Hp Quick lunch buttons
Audio Driver
so after the installation and reboot of my laptop, it seems that only NVIDIA chipset driver worked, the quick lunch buttons are still not working, and also i cannot hear anything comming out of my speaker when i try to play some music, but i hear some loud beeps so it means it is 100% functioning and also i noticed the 3 indicators at the bottom lefot of my laptop for (Power,Charging,Reading) lights are not lighting up.
i tried to uninstall it and install it again just like other blogs says but it doesnt work. . .
i really want to make my laptop fully functional . .
can you help me please

Hello @iamDestiny ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you've installed a new HDD in your notebook and are unable to use the keyboard shortcuts and have no sound from programs on the computer.
It would help to know if you're using a 32 or 64 bit version of Vista. To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
Keep in mind beeps typically come from the onboard BIOS speaker, not the actual speakers. Can you tell me what you do to hear the beeping so we can tell if this is a system beep or a Windows sound? Also, can you tell me if headphones work?
Regarding drivers: I would suggest installing the HP Support Assistant (HPSA) to search for drivers for you. You can download this here: HP Support Assistant. You can see how to use it here: Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7, Windows Vista).
When you installed Vista did you use the HP recovery CD's or your own copy of Windows?
Let me know the updated info or if the HPSA works.

Headphones not working after a complete new installation

Hello, After wiping the harddisk of my laptop and a new installation of Windows 7 every thing works fine, except the headphones. I tried installing new driver, but the ones from windows update are not working and on the official hp driver site there are no drivers for audio. How can I fix this?

Hi, Can you see the headphone under Playback devices (Right click speaker icon at the bottom right) ? You may need to install driver for it. Firstly enable it, Windows 7 will search the right driver for you. Also find few steps given below might help you. http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c01916592

You need to contact iTunes support. We are users here just like you and would have no idea why it isn't working. At the bottom of the iTunes Store page in iTunes there is a contact link.

HP Envy 15 x360 PC Windows 8.1 -Headphones not working on laptop

I'm having an issue with my headphones connecting to my laptop. When I plug my headphones into the audio jack the sound still comes from the laptops speakers not the headphones. I have looked in the sound options playback devices and my headphones do not appear. Also my computer won't automatically recognize the headphones when they are plugged in like it use to do.

Hello @slhaw,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I have read your post on how the headphones on your computer are not working, and I would be happy to guide you towards a resolution!
To restore the audio to your headphone jack, I recommend installing the original software and hardware drivers that first came with your computer. This can be done by following this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8), as well as Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8) to update the drivers.
When the software reinstallation has completed, shudown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

First, grow up. Just because YOUR phone isn't working, doesn't mean Apple put out bad software. I've not had any difficulty, nor has anyone else I know. And just how is Apple risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working? It's YOUR decision to talk on the phone or text and drive. Not Apple's.
We're users here, volunteering our time to help others. Posts like yours, which are whiny and ranting, simply means we're likely to ignore you and not provide you with any help. Not to mention, it makes you look absolutely foolish.
Further making you look foolish is the fact that you haven't even asked a technical support question, nor have you provided anyone here with any troubleshooting steps you might have taken, including those recommended in the user guide.

Another FPN Thread: Remote role assignment not working

Hi all,
We have successfully implemented FPN for use in our ESS and BW environment and we are experiencing very little problems with it. We now want to start implementing it for our eRecruitment and SRM systems (as producers). For some reason we are not able to use the Remote Role Assignement functionality.
We have set up trust for the systems and use SSO.
Connection test for the producer is successfull.
We can see the Producer content in the pcd on the consumer.
Server times are the same.
As far as I know I have correctly set permissions on producer and consumer.
Possible cause: We are in the process of upgrading our consumer Portal to NW 7.0 SPS15 and have encountered some problems. The system is partially upgraded, so some components are SP15 and some others are still SP13. This is currently under investigation by SAP. Can this be an issue as our producer portals all are still on SP13?
I hope to hear from you soon. Please ask if you need any screenshots. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Jan Laros

Hi Jan,
if remote role assignment not works, you can also use remote delta links. I only work with remote delta links because i have more options and a better performance.
If your connection works you can go to Content Administration ->Portal Content-> NetWeaver-Content-Producer. Hier you can see your remote system. Now you can copy the role and add it to your portal-content.
If you can not see the content make sure that you have the same user on both sides also check the premissions on the portal-content of your remote system. To test the connection it is easier to add Everyone group to the content of your remote system.
regards,
Sharam

How to solve the problem of connecting my iPad to Itunes while my iPad not working and show to connect to iTunes?

Question to all iPad users please help in this issue
How to solve the problem of connecting my iPad to Itunes while my iPad not working and show to connect to iTunes?
Thank you for help out.

Hi Jamalzoal,
Dose your computer have the most recent iTunes on it? When you connect the iPad 2 to your computer what happens? dose iTunes tell you the iPad need to be restored?
p.s. you post this question in the Apple Remote Desktop community. You would probable have gotten more an fast responses if you posted this in the iPad community.

Airtunes remote speakers no longer work and a weird error

Hi,
The other day after upgrading to iTunes 7.6 the ability for me to select my remote speakers in iTunes stopped functioning. The option has always worked for me before this, and yes, I have the "look for remote speakers" option checked in the iTunes preferences. Now, the little drop down to select speakers has vanished on my desktop.
The option still works with my laptop using iTunes 7.4. What gives?
Also, when I check or uncheck the box to tell iTunes to look for remote speakers on my desktop (iTunes 7.6) I get the following error:
"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
I have seen other posts for both of these issues, but NO solutions. Uninstalling iTunes did not work. Rolling back to 7.5 did not work (and now 7.5 won't read my .itl file so my library is lost at the moment).
Anyone have any ideas? I can find many people asking the same questions, but no answers anywhere in my searches here and in Google.
Thanks.

The fix for these problems was twofold.
First, uninstall iTunes, Quicktime, and Apple updater. Delete all folders in C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data and C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data related to apple or itunes. Search through the registry for all keys and values related to iTunes.
Reinstall iTunes. That got rid of the error messages I was having.
To get the speakers to work again, I took my PC out of the DMZ on my router. Seems that if it's not behind the firewall/NAT, it won't pass the AirTunes traffic.
