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

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?
Get a replacement soonest.

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 iphone 4s will only play music on vibrate

My Iphone 4s will only play music if it is on vibrate. When it is not on vibrate it will intermitently go in and out of the music, mostly it will not play at all. Does any know how to fix this?

Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if fixed. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean again, very well with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

Ipod Shuffle will only play one song

Brand new shuffle 4th Gen. Will only play one song over and over. even when i press next it starts the same song again.
I have got more then one song, tried restoring, i feel like ive tried everything... any ideas ?

So you are taping the album cover of the song that is currently playing from the Now Playing screen correct? Not the album cover in the list of albums or songs or anywhere else.
And you are positive you are only tapping it 1 time. The screen can be pretty sensitive so just be aware that it only takes a light tap.

Play music while charge using Apple iPad Dock

I connected the Apple iPad Dock to my Bose SoundDock through the dock's line out and it only plays music if the charger is not connected to the dock. when i connect the charger to the dock the music stops and start being played on iPad. is it right or my dock is damaged?
thx in advance.

Press the Music In ... to the left of "Albums" at the bottom of the Remote App and select a different library to show in the app. That seems to do it.

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.
If still problems you have a defective headphone jack that requires replacment,. Here is one third-party place. Google for other:

Creative Roar SR20A continuously prompts "TeraBass On/Off" When Playing Music While Charging

I have noticed that when playing music for a while (over an hour or so) on the Roar while charging causes the speaker to prompt "Tera Bass On" and "Tera Bass Off" continuously every one or two seconds. This continues till I switch off the charging and then its functions normally. I believe this happens once the unit gets fully charged. Has somebody faced this issue??? Is there a fix for it??? This is an annoying bug in the firmware.

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.

Rhythmbox error: will only play music as root [SOLVED]

Hello, Rhythmbox refuses to play anything as a normal user, but runs completely fine under root. I am indeed under the audio group, as far as I know I *should* have the right permissions. It'll load correctly (seemingly), but when I go to press Play, the button "presses down," but nothing will ever play; the cursor won't move. Everything is updated, all codecs are installed... I really don't know what to do with it at this point. I figure it's permission-related given that it works under root, but really, I don't know. I would really appreciate some help.

Yeah, there is a GTK+ error:
EDIT: the GTK+ error repeats numerous times, and doesn't appear when trying to play a song.
EDIT EDIT: this is without the debug option.

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

if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
I suspect you have a hardware problem.

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.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Replace the jack yourself

It i likely not worth getting it fixed if a bad headphone jack

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

I have an ipod touch and it will not longer charge on the dock it only plays music

I was uploading music to my ipod touch 4th generation (I only use this ipod to stay docked all the time to my speackers)
Since I updated my ipod touch to ios 6.1.6 it does not charge it only plays music but it does not charge why is this happening I think is a bug that has the ios 6.1.6 I dont have old speackers I brought them in 2012 they are the sony RDP-XF100ip, it allways worked fin and scince I updated it it does not work.
I also have an old ipod nano and I thought that the dock burned but it did charged the ipod nano
Thanks.

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
Sometmes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Otherwise go to the dock manufacture's support site. Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you will have to wait for either an iOS update (very unlikely) or an update to the firmware on the dock
