Right Earpod not working correctly

I got an iPod 5th gen for Christmas.  The Earpods have been working fine until recently.  The right earpod's volume is really quiet, and I don't know how to clean the mesh out.  It does the same thing on my computer, too.

Hello Mitch,
Thank you for the helpful advice.  I am on my second paid of EarPods (1st set lasted 3-4 months before losing volume in right ear) which have now lost sound in the right ear after 2 months use.
Background:  I use a 32 GB iPhone 4s, good condition, updated iOS 7.0.2
The original iPod/iPhone earbuds used to last MUCH longer.  I ran with them and they endured a lot of sweat/rain/generally bad conditions, and would work for a year+.
I can't imagine I am the only person this happens to, as 3000+ people have viewed this thread.  I'm glad Apple will replace them and I actually bought a Geek Squad warranty on the 2nd pair of EarPods so I can return them no problem but here is my question:
Is the general consensus that the new EarPods simply do not work?  Is it my phone?  Everything else on my 4s works just fine and I went out of my way to take extra special care of my second pair of EarPods and they broke faster than the first!  I am a big fan of Apple and their original headphones used to be bulletproof/water proof, and it breaks my heart that these new EarPods fail on me all of the time.
If anyone can chime in and explain if this is user error, if my "outdated" iphone 4s is to blame, or if these new EarPods are just plain terrible at working past 2 months.  Thank you!

  • Y50 touchpad let/right buttons not working correctly.

    When I try to do a left or a right click my touchpad will only register it half the time. Sometimes have to click around 5-10 times before it will work. I can usually get the left click to work after only a couple of clicks, but the right click hardley ever works. I feel like the whole thing needs to be replaced and I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and got it replaced?? I bought it 4 months ago and its been not working pretty much out of the box. Honestly, although I love this comp, I completly regret buying it and wish I would have went with the toshiba I was looking at.

    Hi Wheatleylabs,
    Welcome to the Forums
    As per the query we understood that you facing issue with touchpad in your Lenovo Y50 laptop.
    Try to update the driver to the latest version and check for the issue, after the driver update if still the issue perstists then it might be issue with the touchpad as you have mentioned that its been only 4 months hence you can contact the Lenovo support and get it replaced, or you can also contact the nearest service center.
    Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
    Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists!

  • I bought an IPAD air from state and the screen is not working correctly and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

    i bought an IPAD air (32 gb wifi only) from USA just one month ago and the screen is not working correctly(picture attached) and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that fixes it ? You might be able to get warranty service in Egypt for your iPad, but the warranty includes :
    IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
    Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
    As it's wifi-only you should have a better chance of it being serviced under warranty, but there are no guarantees, it might depend upon the repairer.

  • HT2216 I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly.  That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse.  Any clues?

    I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly.  That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse.  I only have a previous version re-install disc as I bought the latest OSX off the app store.  Any help gratefully received?

    Hmmm, no, no drivers needed, now it sounds like a bad install... unless you might have some old Mouse software installed???
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • My pc has a virus I just downloaded song from pc to kids ipods now both ipods are not working correctly could the virus be in the ipods,  if not why are both not working doing the same thing right after unplugging from pc.

    Can an ipod get a virus from a pc that has a virus.  After connecting two different ipods to my pc to download music they both are not working correctly, could the virus have transferred to the ipod,  if not why would both ipods not work and be doing the same thing?  When trying to click on a game it just stays on the main screen.

    - I have not heard of a virus that can cause problem with an iDvice that has not been jailbroken.
    - Try resetting the iPods. nothing will be 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.
    - Do you hve problems with one game? The same game on both iPods?

  • SSRS 2008 R2/SSRS 2012 Tab Delimited setup is not working correctly in Report Designer

    I have changed a RSReportDesigner.config to add a tab delimited option for report export, but it is not working correctly in vs2008/vs2010 report designer. I get a duplicate of CSV (comma delimited) in the export dropdown list.
    I have tested SSRS 2008 R2/SSRS 2012 on Windows 7 64 bit professional.
    It is working correctly in the report manager.

    Hi Dave0323,
    According to your description, you want to export your report into TXT file and change the delimiter to be a Tab. Right?
    In Reporting Services, when exporting to a CSV file, we can change the default field delimiter to any character that we want, including TAB, by changing the device information settings in the configuration file. For example, to use TAB,
    update the FieldDelimiter setting to <FieldDelimiter xml:space="preserve">[TAB]</FieldDelimiter>. And we can change the FileExtension to be TXT if we want to export it into a TXT file. So in this scenario, we just need to modify the configuration
    file like below:
    The result looks like below:
    Reference:
    CSV Device Information Settings
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly

    Hello, I'm having an issue with a LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly. I have followed the instructions to reset the printer, but now am unable to select 'English' as my language because every time I select the 'English' option 'Spanish' is selected. I am then given two options to select 'Si' or 'No' both of which can not be selected on the touch screen?
    Anybody know of a way round this?

    Hi @dnhowes ,
    I see that you are having issues with the touch screen not working correctly. I will do my best to help you.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    Was it the Nvram reset back to factory settings that you tried or a hard reset?
    Try selecting the option on the display a little higher above the icon to see if that helps. Some touch screens are finicky.
    I find that on the Lab printers when I am selecting different menus.
    If the issue continues, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836 for further assistance. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • Property inspector not working correctly

    The property inspector in CS3 is not working correctly. When
    I select text or any other object the property inspector does not
    change for that object. But when I right mouse click on the
    selected object it does. Do I need to change a setting?
    Thanks!

    Yes, me too. I can't find an answer to this anywhere.
    If I right-click or double-click on an item the property
    inspector shows it, but if I single click, nothing happens. It's
    bad for productivity.

  • Sound blaster not working correctly?

    Sound blaster not working correctly #I have a 64 bit, windows vista system.
    A Logitech Z-5500 Digital speaker system (one woofer, center speaker, left, right, rear right, left rear speakers, and a seperate control head).
    I have an X-fi gamer sound card.
    I recently formatted my hard dri've and reinstalled everything. Trying to make everything happy again. Here is my problem:
    When I use the Creative Console Launcher (CCL), my front right speaker tests fine. My front left speaker comes out of the woofer. And no other speakers will test at all. It does this in all modes (2., 4., 5. and 7.).
    When I play some music, it is coming out of all of the speakers. But it won't test properly in the CCL. So, do I have an issue, does what the CCL is doing not matter, or something else In some games, hearing what direction stuff is coming from matters, so if it is sending sounds to the wrong speakers, then I need to figure out a fix.....hence my post.
    Thanks for any help you can give, Robert

    Well, as the official documatation states, the Archlinux is for more or less advanced users, and if you're not one, we will make you one
    First of all, if you compiled your sound as modules, try putting this in your rc.local:
    stat_busy "Activating Sound"
    /sbin/modprobe your_sound_module
    /sbin/modprobe other_sound_module
    /sbin/modprobe yet_other_sound_module
    stat_done
    Change your_sound_module stuff to your module names as you configured in the kernel, of course.
    Second: in order to have two or more sound apps working at the same time, you need some kind of sound server. For default one (esd), uncomment esd in /etc/rc.local (remove ! before it) . After that, you'll have to configure your sound apps to use esd. I know that this is extremely easy with xmms and xine, dunno about others. I do not use esd, because my favorite games (quake3 and half-life) require direct access to /dev/dsp.
    And remember: nobody blames for asking 8)

  • Internet Explorer 11 "Enterprise Mode" do not work or do not work correctly!

    Dear community,
    Since yesterday we test the Feature "Enterprise Mode" for "Internet Explorer 11". However, we have many problems
    with this Feature. We have configured it as described by officially instruction by MS, but it does not work
    properly. Here is what we have done exactly to test this Feature:
    In Registry Key " HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main \ Enterprise Mode " we have created the Entry " Site List " and create the string " Enable" . In the
    String "Enable" we have added no value . 
    In Case of String "Site List" , we have specified the path to the XML file , as value of this String.
    The XML file was created with the Site List Manager from Microsoft
    And now, we regocnized following Problems:
    The "Enterprise Mode" ist only "active", if the User(!) check "Enterprise Mode" under "Tools"...!
    The site list is seemingly ignored, although in the Registry "currentversion" is pulled correctly, everytime we change
    the XML File. So we think "SiteList" is configured well.
    On one of our test computer freezes Internet Explorer 11 , if you try to hook the corporate mode
    In Summary, it seems to be configured properly but it even do not work or not work correctly.
    Our goal would be:
    Enterprise Mode + access to the Site List by IE11 should be "on" by Default!
    Entrys of sitelist.XML should be filtered and shown in "Enterprise Mode" or/and the right "DocMode", as configured.
    The user should have no chance  to check on or off the"enterprise mode"
    We use "Windows 7" on all our Clients, as test Clients are also running the same operating System...
    Please reply
    Thank you very much
    Greetings!
    Ps: Please do not be angry if pronunciation or grammar do not fit well. English is not my nature language (my nature language is german)

    Hi,
    According to your description, seems the end-users can manually turn on\off the enterprise mode, If you don''t want this, you can disable the option.
    Computer(User) Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer\Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu option
    Disable this option, user will not have "Enterprise Mode" under "Tools", after that, please run gpupdate /force to update the policy, and get "Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list" applied again in the target system.
    After that, the enterprise mode website list get applied again, and user don't have an option to disable it.

  • Three Point Edit not working correctly :(

    Hi there,
    first of all I'd like to say thank you Adobe for listening to your users. And I hope this one gets noticed right away....:
    It appears that 3 point editing ist not working correctly.
    Right now I'm editing a video and I heavily rely on 3 point editing.
    I have quite a lot XDCAM EX 50i clips which are all in one sequence that is used as source.
    Coming from tape workflows I really don't like clicking clip after clip...I need to edit
    Now fortunately one can choose to either have a sequence as source edited in nested or as individual tracks. Very nice!
    Very bad is that 3 point editing only works when "nested" is activated. Again, very bad!
    As soon as I want to use my source sequence with its individual tracks and hit (.) or (,) just nothing happens. Hmpf!
    Come on guys, that is essential editing stuff, not fancy speech detection blabla...sorry but this is mega-annoying right now....
    It says "Pro" right after "Premiere". So please make it pro! Professionals need ROCK SOLID essential functions.
    Make us editors happy having switched from Avid/FCP etc.
    Make essential stuff rock solid. That's what makes an app "pro".
    Cheers and please mind my harsh words. Just a little upset right now. (I know that's not pro either )

    Hi bmfm,
    I think I know what's going on. The behavior you describe happens when you try to edit back into your original sequence. Can try making a new sequence to cut your selects into? See the page in help for details: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/edit-sequences-loaded-source-monitor.html

  • Safari hierarchical menus not working correctly

    Hello all,
    I'm having a problem with Safari's hierarchical menus not working correctly. They pop out in odd positions, and--worst of all--the big ones (for folders that contain lots of bookmarks) pop out right on top of the main bookmarks menu, making it all but impossible to navigate that main menu. I've tried all the usual tricks: log out/restart the system, restart Safari, reset Safari, boot in safe boot mode, repair permissions, yank Safari's bookmarks prefs file, even reinstall Safari, and nothing worked. I've also noticed the same behavior in Camino. My system hierarchical menus work fine, though, so I'm thinking I have a corrupt prefs file somewhere. I'm using Safari 4.04 with no extra plugins beyond what come with it on 10.5.8. Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix this?

    AFAIK, the submenu will pop on either side, depending on available space and if there are further subfolders, allowing them to continue in the same direction.
    Since the new account doesn't exhibit the issue, there are two ways to attack the problem. One is to log into your new account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything not on that list into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
    The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.

  • On certain sites (like chats), the shift symbols are not working correctly.

    Hello there.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your issue, I'm not sure if this is the case, but there is a little know keyboard shortcut to change the keyboard language on Windows. And it's very annoying, since it's easily triggered. I don't know exactly which one it is, but I think it's CTRL+SHIFT, the ones on the right. I suggest you ask Microsoft for support on this one. Firefox doesn't control keyboard languages.

  • My mouse is not working correctly after upgrade to ITunes 11

    I upgraded to iTunes 11 for WinXP and now my mouse is not working correctly. No double clicks, no right button function and sometimes refuses to do simple left click options. What can I do?
    I've tried new mouse drivers and checking the settings in Control Panel but no joy so far.
    Driving me mad and taking me three times longer to do anything as I look for keyboard solutions.

    I'm facing the same problem too on Windows 8. No mouse clicks (just 'ding' sound whenever trying to click anything).
    I could work around it on Windows 8, but ultimately have to restart my PC to get back mouse functionality.
    I wasn't quite sure which app is to blame, but ultimately concluded it's iTunes 11. As this behaviour always concided with having iTunes running in the background for 15-20 minutes (usually listening to podcasts) and never seems to happen when iTunes 11 isn't running.
    Don't know what to make of this, I'm currently playing my podcasts through Windows Media Player instead. I'll hopefully try running iTunes 11 in Windows 7 Compatibiliy mode to see if that helps.
