Have you tried another pair of headphones?  If yes the solution is to excahnge the iPod for a refurbished one from Apple for:

Or go to a thir-party plice to have them replace the headphone jack. Here is one:

  • Something stuck in the ipod headphones jack

    Ok so i recently was using my ipod and the very end of the headphone metal piece came off in my ipod, what do i do!!??

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are you anywhere near an Apple Store or Apple authorized repair facility? If so, you might try taking your computer in and see if a trained technician can get the postit it note out without disassembling the iBook. It is very easy to cause damage by trying to fish it out yourself.
    If the post it cannot be fished out by a skilled technician, then probably the iBook would have to be disassembled, which you can either do yourself or have done.
    Good luck!

  • IPod headphone-jack no longer making connection

    The headphone-jack connection is worn-out. I've tried using 3 different headphones with the same male specifications and music was still audible from the iPod and not through any of the headphones. Thus, I am sure that the iPod headphone-jack is malfunctioning. It was purchased about a year ago, but it only has a one year warranty and I no longer have the receipt.
    Any suggestions? It would be much appreciated.

    The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
    If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.  You may have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod headphone jack is only allowing sound in one headphone. i tried multiple headphones to make sure it wasn't the headphone but the jack itself. i have a ipod video 5th generation.

    Had you brought the same pair of headphones to the Apple Store with you and they worked there?  If you hadn't, the wire or plug on those headphones may have failed.  Try a different pair if you can and see if those work.
    Hope this helps

  • IPod headphone jack faulty

    Hi! First time on here, just been having problems with my iPod headphone jack.
    The trouble is, when I plug headphones in, it misses half the sound as if it's only playing one ear through both, and sometimes it misses all the words and it just sounds plain weird. If I put some headphones in half way it works, but the slightest movement and then it cuts off entirely, and other times I push the earphone right in, and twist it a bit but the same problem occurs.
    First up... any ideas for how I could resolve this issue myself? Is it a good idea to try and have it repaired through some sort of third party type fixey places?
    If not, which I presume will be the case, is it worth me paying for a single incident of support thing to speak to someone? Does that cover any repair or just the phone call?

    - The telephone support price is for the call only. It does not include repair/replacement.
    - Does the heaphones pwork OK in other devices?
    - Do other headphones work in your iPod?i
    - If it is an iPod problem and your iPod is withn warranty I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    - Headphones jacks do go bad.  Apple will aoly excahnge yur iPod for a refurbished one for this price:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    - A third-party place like the following is less expensive. Goolge for more.

  • 27" iMac i7 system noises/hash out of the analog headphone jack.

    Anybody have any info on the cause of this noise?? My 27" iMac i7 emits some sort of system noise out of the ANALOG headphone jack when hooked up to external powered speakers or mixing board. I thought it might be be some sort of grounding issue, since it's only when it's hooked into some other POWERED piece of gear, but I've tried everything I can think of to isolate the source and I can't.
    These system noises occur only when using the analog headphone jack, and only when hooked up to anything that uses AC power. They are not heard when using headphones directly plugged in the back of the iMac. The only way around the hash is to use the OPTICAL out of the headphone jack (which is clean as a whistle). The noises vary, depending on the activity on the monitor: scrolling anything, selecting an area, moving windows, web pages loading (especially noisy with a lot of Flash content), etc... all have distinct noises. They are the same in both channels and are not affected by the System volume control, even when the System volume is muted. One interesting thing I noticed - when the Sound panel of System Prefs is open, switching back and forth between Output and Input causes the noise to be significantly quieter on Input, then loud again on Output. In a studio environment, it's impossible to edit with these noise constantly in the background. The noises do not affect a recording, only playback.

    Sorry, hadn't seen your post on the other thread yet. My reply's there, but basically, hub didn't work for me and the junk is still coming out of the headphone jack with no USB interface at all. I'm thinking it's graphics card related... lots of problems with them. At any rate, I'll be talking to an Apple tech in about half an hour, so maybe I'll get an answer then.

  • Will Apple put a flashor light on the iPod Touch?  Pictures are very dim in natural light.

    Since we are all only end users here like yourself, nobody here would know such information. However, you can leave feedback to Apple on this through this link.

  • Headphone Jack Appears to Be Loose

    It appears that my headphone jack is loose and this is causing me to hear static through my headphones whenever I play music. Should I call Apple and get this fixed? Am I still under warranty? I bought my iPod on 12/29/06. I actually still have the receipt to prove it. What should I do?

    your warranty is good for a year, so you are fine. I would call Apple.

  • Ipod + Headphone jack = problem

    Hello fellow Ipod users. I needed to know what to do in my situation. For it would seem my 5th Gen ipod's headphone jack gives me the lack of music in my left headphone. I feel the jack itself is a bit out of place, and I'm not sure what to do. Do you believe I could get it fixed through Apples warranty program? Or will they turn me down through the warranties policy? What ever that may be.

    Have you tried a different set of headphones? If it is there even with a different set then I would suspect the iPod. If it is still under warranty it should be covered. Only apple can tell you for sure.

  • How can I get my iPod headphone jack fixed?

    I am having issues where I can only hear out of one side of the headphones.  I have tried several different headphones and know the problems is not with them it has to be something with the iPod part where the headphones get plugged in.   Any help is appreciated.

    HI debooz09
    you should give to a apple store and tell them here's the apple price http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/ OR just search it on google or on youtube to get more ideas to fix the headphone jack.

  • Headphone jack fits bose but not beats

    i have and Early 2011 13" Macbook Pro, My Bose headphones cord fits in the jack, but my Beats headphone cord wont, but both cords fit and work in my iphone and other jacks perfectly.

    The built-in speakers and microphone should also be able to work with Windows default High Definition Audio Driver. Have tested out on my W520. alex1906 have already typed out on how to test out whether your device is working or not.
    Have a nice day!

  • Does the new zen vision m have the same headphone jack probl

    I would like to know because my zen micro had the headphone problem after about 8-9 months
    and I want a new Mp3 player by creative because I don't like going mainstream when it comes to Ipods.

    I havent heard of it having any headphone jack issues like the micro had. I believe it was corrected on all of thier new players.

  • Ok so my iPod headphone jack has been steretch out

    My iPod touch 3rd gen the headphone port has been expanded so that it will not play music throw both sides of the headphones. What can I do to make the head phone port smaller to make it work right or do I need to buy a new iPod?

    If your halfway comfortable working on something like this go here, http://www.ifixit.com/Products/iPod-5th-Gen/95/Page-2 . Find the model you have and if they have any you can buy one and on the iFixIt site there are guides for doing the work yourself.
    If your not comfortable doing it you could send it somewhere such as

    and last but not least Apple repair

    Take your pick. An example of the repair cost for the headphone jack would be 89 dollars at the first link I gave you. Shop around and you may find a better price.

  • Ipod headphone jack

    Are there any other people that have had multiple problems with the iPod's headphone jack? I've had mine replaced once, but I'm going to try and get it replaced tomorrow. Does Apple flaw its products so that only Apple products work best?

    Yes. No.

  • Ipod headphone jack ruining my headphones?

    i dont know whats wrong with my ipod, its been happening for a while. ive gone through two pairs of expensive over ear head phones, at least 5 auxillary cables, and i barely went through a pair of skullcandys.
    i think all of them were ruined by my ipod jeadphone jack, the possibility that all the cables were defective is unlikely, and impossible because i used most of them on mycomputer before i used them on my ipod and they worked fine.
    this is realllyy starting to **** me off...
    is there any thing i can do? can i send my ipod in to get fixed for malfunctioning? .

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Bring the ruined headphones in addition to the iPod
