Shuffle (2nd Gen) Will only play music through the right headphone

Hi all
the reason I have a 2nd Gen was ebcause my original Shuffle had the same problem, then wouldnt play through either unless I HELD the phones in the plug..
Now my new shuffle (2nd Generation) has the early signs of this problem. It will not play music through the left earphone at all (Ive tried 3 pairs, its not the phones)..
My shuffle was purchase december sometime but I dont think I registered it when I installed Itunes.
Still have recept if that helps?
Thanks

  • IPod Classic 80GB will only play music through the right earphone

    Hi everybody
    a few days ago my ipod stopped playing music through both earphones and will now only play through the right one. it isn't the headphones because i brought a new set and used another set that i know work through both earphones but neither will work through both earphones on my ipod. This problem is really annoying me. I tried resetting it but nothing. I didn't do anything to it, i just didn't use it for a few days. and i really want to avoid restoring it to factory settings because it is almost full and only a handful of my songs are on my computer. any solutions?

    Yeah I now know that after finding it in another thread. Thanks anyway. I live in Australia so I just gotta find someone who will repair it because I don't wanna risk ruining it by trying to do it myself. I asked an electronics place that replaces the batteries but they wouldn't do it. So if I can't find anybody to fix it, I'll probably buy a new one (cos I need one anyway) and try to fix the old one. The problem with finding someone to fix it is that I live in a country town and about 2-3 hours from Sydney and we don't have much here.

    What happens when you try to load those songs (drag and drop in iTunes) from your iTunes music library to your shuffle?

  • My Lightning to 30-Pin Connector will only play music through my iPod dock, and will not charge my iPod touch 5th gen.

    My Lightning to 30-Pin Connector will only play music through my iPod dock from my iPod, and will not charge my iPod touch 5th gen. Help me please.

    Have you tried resetting the dock by removing it from power?  What about resetting the iPod Touch? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

    My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

    A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point.  The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge.  The initial green light shows a good charge.  The red light means the battery is drained.
    Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
    Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds.  Then, turn it back ON.  This resets the shuffle.  Does it play again?  If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again.  Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays.  Then, connect it to power and charge it to full.  See if that makes any difference.
    If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery.  If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.

  • Ipod touch 4 will only play music through Bluetooth device.

    My daughter's iPod Touch 4 iOS 6.1.5 will not play music or video through onboard speaker or headphones.  Music and videos will not even run unless Bluetooth is enabled and the device is connected to the Bluetooth speaker.  I have tried blowing out the headphone jack and different sets of headphones.
    Will restoring the iOS help solve this?

    As I said in a reply to your other post, it will help if you have a software problem. Not if it is a hardware problem.

  • My iPod Touch 4G will only play music when attached to headphones

    When I attach my headphones to my ipod touch 4G, it will play music normally, but when I remove, it will not play through the speakers, nor am I able to control the volume as the volume bar will disappear and the external buttons will not work.
    Please help me, thank you.

    You can try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPOd.

  • My iPod can't plays music on the right headphone

    Hi I am having some problems with my I put any headphones or speakers in the headphone jack it only
    plays on the left side while the right side stays quiet. Also the headphone jack seems to be looser because I can jiggle the connector of my headphones around when plugged in and if I get it in the right place it start to play in the right but if i let go it stops playing in the right and goes back to the left only
    I'm wondering if anyone has found a home solution to this problem or if the Genius Bar could resolve this problem for me.

    Did you ever get a solution for this? I'm having the same problem on my iPod Touch, but Apple refuses to service it because they noticed a bump near the volume control when I sent it in. Accidental damage, out of luck, out of $300. It was two months old. I'm no technician, not by a long shot, but to me, bumping it there is a long way away from the headphone jack. Not to mention, it had to have been weeks in between whenever that happened and the headphone jack going out. I'm so furious and disappointed in the experience I've received from them. They've been very nice stonewalling me, but now I'm just annoyed with the thing every day and just want the battery to run out so I can go get some other device. Anyway, what ever happened here?

  • I have a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod touch. Recently, it doesn't recognize headphones and will only play music through it's speakers. I've tried cleaning the area where you plug in the headphones but this has not helped. What should I do?

    My ipod touch (2nd or 3rd generation) won't recognize headphones anymore! I have'nt gotten it wet or dropped it. I've tried cleaning out the plug where you plug the headphones in. I've had no luck. Is this fixable or is it time to trash this iPod?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. 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.
    - Reset all settings
    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 iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • Ipod classic only plays music through the left earphone. Has anyone had this before and is there anyway to fix this?

    I imagine there is a problem with the headphone socket. Will i have to send my i-pod to apple to sort or will it almost be cheaper to just replace it?

    I had a quick search for prices last night. As I recall the site that caught my eye was the e-bay store for this company but I was looking at their page for Nano & 5th gen. They're quoting £29.99 for the 6th gen. service, probably more because it is harder to get into. As I understand it you book the service, send it in via insured post, they fix and send it back. You can shop around, that looks like a reasonable deal.
    Good luck.

  • My Sony clock radio has iPod support. It played and charged my old iPod touch 2g. I got a 4g today and it will only play music on the dock, but it won't charge.

    It's all in the title

    I suspect you have a hardware problem.

  • Shuffle will only play music while charging?

    Found my shuffle from a long time ago, it seems to work fine when I connected to Itune
    Then I found out that It will only play music when it is charging even though the back light is green indicating the battery is full.
    The green light on the front will also flash when I press play, but there is no response (no music came on).
    Anyone experienced this before?
    Thanks alot

  • IPod only playing music through one earphone

    My ipod (5th gen) is only playing music through one earphone! Its definitely not the earphones because they work perfectly fine in my iphone. What could the problem be?

    first off try a different set of headphones, just because they work in x doesn't mean they will work in y. Second try cleaning it- blowing in it, compressed air, more than likely there's a piece of lint or dirt stuck in there. reset, update or restore the ipod. at your own risk you could check to see that all internal connections are seated properly as these zif connectors can come loose. if nothing you probably need a new audio jack

  • Audio out jack only plays sound in the right speaker.

    Whenever I plug anything (speakers, earphones, etc.) into the Audio Output jack, it only plays sound through the right speaker/earphone. The left speaker/earphone hardly has any sound at all.
    How should I go about fixing this problem?
    It ***** and it's annoying. At first, I thought it was just my earphones but they work perfectly fine with my iPod and other devices.

    HI Chris,
    my daughter has the ipod touch 4th generation and it started only having sound come out of the right speakers in both of my vehicles.  I read also it could be a broken socket causing it.  Do you know about this?  How does one break a socket and how would I repair that?  The person on y*hoo answers said to either send it to apple refurbished unit or replace it.  Replace it?  Really?  It's a 64 GB ipod touch that I won at work with reward points which is the only reason I could afford it.  Looking for better solution like your's above but I'm worried I will have to send it in.  I was looking on my iphone 4 and noticed the volume balance was under Settings>General>Accessibility so I guess it's different on an ipod touch?

  • My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock.

    My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock, only through the iPod's internal speaker. Help please!

    Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.
