Sound shifts to the right side of IPod

Greetings. I'd like to know if anyone has run into this problem with their IPod:
While I am listening to music, a podcast or watching a video on my Video 60GB Ipod, quite to often now the balance of sound will move to the right side. Sometimes the sound is totally in the right ear only, sometimes I get partial sound in the left...but it is not balanced.
I am using Windows: version 1.2.1, Model MA003LL of the ipod.
If I sync my Ipod to Itunes then the problem will correct. Or just recently at the beach I let the IPod sit untouched for 15 minutes and when I went back to it the balance was normal.
I have tried switching earbuds, but the problem remains the same. This feels like a bug, not a hardware issue. Am I wrong? Is this a known bug with version 1.2.1? Should I take this back to the Apple store?
PC at the moment; ready to become a switcher   Windows XP Pro  

It's a strange problem. When it happens, either the balance of sounds suddenly shifts all the way to the right side
or it sometimes leaves a fraction of sound in the left side and most of the sound to the right, but the vocals will not be balanced and will remain to the right.
I spoke to a Mac Genius and he has me performing a restore to the IPod with ITunes. So far (three days) this problem has not occured. Right now it appears to be a software problem (not a bug in 1.2.1) and not hardware.

  • Facebook columns are shifted to the right

    This happens only on facebook, all the columns are shifted to the right side of the page. I've check FB's web site for help but its hard to find any answers. Im using most updated XP Home, and running FF 6.0.1. This does not happen when I use I.E. however.
    I listed my profile address but not sure you can view it.

    Hi I started this particular conversation and I just fixed FB format. I changed the font on Western to 14 and the default to 18. FB went back to normal!

      I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out.  what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • Trouble-shooting no sound through the right side of Apple earphones with remote...

    Hope this story of trouble-shooting this problem helps someone in the future.
    For some strange reason, when I listened to a podcast using the Music app through the Apple earphones with remote on my iPhone 4, the right side has no sound.  However, when I pull the earphone plug out one notch, I get sound from both sides, but the remote controls no longer work.  At that point, I was sure I had a hardware problem, but where it lay-- earphones or iPhone 4, I didn't know.
    1.  For my first step, I tried the earphones with another iPhone 4, and got the exact same results.  That convinced me that it was a problem with the earphones, but then I tried them on our iPad and they worked fine!
    2.  That ruled out the earphones and got me wondering if both iPhone 4's earphone jacks were flakey or misbehaving.  I had read about the old fuzz in the jack problem, so I used an air blower to clean it out, but it made no difference.  I still figured that maybe both jacks were stressed in some way, although two of them?
    3.  Then I read that some people found different apps worked--and even specifically that running Skype could solve things.  That didn't work.  However, it led me to try various streaming apps (e.g., Portal to the Universe, NPR) and everything was fine-- sound from both sides and remote controls fully functional.
    At that point, I was convinced there was something odd going on with the Music app.
    4.  Finally, it occurred to me to try other podcasts-- and even other episodes of the particular podcast.  They all worked fine.
    So, it ended up being one particular podcast-- and, while I still do not know why, it means that the earphones, the headphone jack, the iPhones are all in fine shape!  Yay!
    In any event, the bottom-line is that it's really smart to consider *all* the variables that could be affecting the situation--especially the most obvious ones that you wouldn't even think about it.  As it turned out, in my case, I had tested the very same podcast on both iPhones, so no wonder I got the very same results!

    I think you're right-- however, I always thought that mono recordings played through both ears--always worked that way on my old stereo system! 
    This podcast does that, too, but only if one pulls the plug out a bit!  That's what's confusing to me.  Why does it change from both ears to only one ear depending on far the plug is pushed in?  (And especially as it behaves opposite what one would expect-- both ears when not plugged in all the way-- only 1 when fully embedded!)

    Thanks & Regards

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • When I connected my iPod Classic or iPhone 4S to the right side USB port of my 2012 11 inches Macbook Air (128 GB SSD), I get a message from iTunes that I connected my device to a USB 1.1 port. I checked the specs, it's a USB 3 port. What's wrong?

  • Why sound came out only on the right side ?

    Hi guys,
    When I play in on the timeline & view the sequence in the canvas, the music came out on both sides of my earpiece.
    When I export it using QuickTIme, the sound only came out on the right side of my earpiece ?
    I check both the sound lines in the timeline & they look identical.
    Any ideas why ?
    Thanks

    Check to see whether there are 2 audio tracks or just one ....... it's just possible a glitch may have made it lose one.
    Sorry Ian, I should have make myself clearer. When I said the sound only come out on the right side I meant this:
    Say there are 5 sections in my clips.
    Section 1 & 2, exported file when played sound only come out from the right ear piece.
    Section 3,4,5 exported file when played sound came out from both left & right earpiece.
    Section 1 & 2 and Scection 3,4,5 is playing the same song except that the same song starts at section 1 and 3 respectivley. (meaning at beginning of section 3, I drag the same song to the audio track to repeat the same song)
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    on start up my firefox screen is shifted to the right with a large gap down the left side so I cannot see websites properly. It also appears small in top left hand corner on start up and crashes.

  • I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display

    I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display. I've done the following:
    -Shutdown the computer, and restarted in Safe Mode by pressing the Shift key after the restart tone
    -Shutdown the computer, and restarted by pressing Command, Option, P & R after the restart tone
    -Checked display resolution, Best for Retina
    -Hooked it up to a Dell external monitor and via projection to screen. There are no lines on the external or secondary screens
    -Just curious, I ran a color utility which can not repair 4 items, maybe this is another issue.
    This is a brand new Macbook Pro, just out of the box. It was fine for two days without any issues, fine last night while in use, opened it up this morning with the line.
    Anyone now how I can fix this on my own?

  • How do I alphabatize all my bookmarks from the drop down menu with the star on the Right side of screen?

    I want to alphabatize all my bookmarks that are in the drop down menu, the menu with the star icon, on the right side of the screen. I do not want to put them in folders or view them in the box from the menu bar and all the answers pertain to that box, and not to the one with the star. Thank you

    I don't think it's possible from the toolbar button.
    However, the action you take in the Bookmarks Sidebar or in the Library dialog will affect the Bookmarks Menu everywhere it is displayed, including the toolbar button, so you only need to use it for the few moments needed to use Sort By Name and then close it.
    Bookmarks Sidebar (either):
    * View menu > Sidebar > Bookmarks
    * Command+b
    Library dialog (either):
    * Bookmarks menu > Show All Bookmarks
    * Command+Shift+b
    right-click "Bookmarks Menu" > Sort By Name

  • When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?

    When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?
    For instance I view an apartment ad which has various pictures attached. It says click on the pictures to see an enlarged version. FF opens the page however most of the page is blank and the picture appears to be pushed to the right side of the page and shows as if it has been scrunched agains the right side not showing the whole picture.
    What Can I do to correct this?

    I see that you have increased some font sizes considerably.
    * font.size.fixed.x-western: 20
    * font.size.variable.x-western: 22
    This can effect margins when the website specifies these as em values and cause content to shift.
    If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
    You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.

  • My macbook keeps freezing with the left side of the screen on the right and the right side of the screen on the left. Help

    My 17-inch early 2011 macbook pro keeps freezing on me.  The freeze usually occurs when I'm importing or exporting pictures, when I stream anything, or If I am watching a dvd.  The left side of the screen shifts to the right and the right side of the screen shifts to the left.  lines also appear on my screen and I can not force quit any open application.  I have not dropped my laptop at all. 
    Mac OSX Lion version 10.7.5
    2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7
    I would like to avoid going to the an apple store to fix this problem if possible.  The closest one to me is 40 miles away. 
    Help : )

    If you don't have the Applecare extended warranty then you will need to pay for the fix. The fix is a New Logic Board. It seems as your Graphics card is failing in some way. No there is no software fix for this.
    The Graphic chip is soldered to the logic board and the only way to change/fix it is to replace the complete logic board.
    Good Luck and Best Wishes
