The remote on my apple headphones aren't working!

Whenever I click on the remote attached to my apple headphones, the volume isn't changed or the music isnt pausing etc. I dont know what's wrong with them !!!!

Not a hardware problem at all.  The existing headphones work... the earbuds are gertting a bit ragged thus I ordered new ones... 2 pair... and both do not work:

They do however work in the iPhone 4s which indicates a compatibility issue.
Didn't mean to infer anything nefarious... just to point out that emillang must be experiencing the same problem as I am.
The only other solution I see is to buy a dongle or a case with integrated controls:

  • I got my replacement phone two hours ago and the left ear of my headphones aren't working this was a problem i chose to ignore with my original iphone 5 but now its really aggravating why is the left earpod not working on any type of headphones?

    Why isn't my left earpod working?

    Hard to know, have you tried a full reset and restore on the phone yet?

  • HT4437 Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

    Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

    Thank you for that, I wanted to make sure I was trying to replicate the same thing as you. Just tried it now, works fine for me.
    Of note though, this will take a relatively well performing network to achieve this, I have such a network, if your network is not as good as it might be, you might encounter problems.
    For the avoidance of doubt, I used the remote app on my phone to get my iTunes library on my computer to stream music to 3 of my Apple TVs, I then used the remote app to control another Apple TV and get it to stream a music video from my computer to it. Of interest I managed to do this while my wife was using yet another Apple TV (not with the remote app) to watch something else from iTunes on my computer.

  • HT1551 My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times

    My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times what else can I try to fix it?

    Have you tried unpairing the remote? You do this by pointing your remote at the Apple TV and holding the MENU and Left buttons down together for 6 seconds.

  • IPod headphones aren't working and i have no creditcard for warranty

    Hello, I have ipod video which 1 month has warranty, but my iPod headphones aren't working. If I want have them announced by apple must I to my creditcard number motivate, but I have no creditcard. What do I have do?

    I don't think there is any alternative to this. Apple introduced this measure some time ago in response (I think) to the number of people who were requesting replacement headphones when there was nothing faulty with the original ones.

  • My headphones aren't working on macbook.

    My headphones aren't working on my macbook. They work on other things, but whenever I plug them in now the sound comes out of the computer speakers. I was just trying out a new outside microphone when I noticed that the audio wasn't working in my headphones, but only on the computer speakers. I unpluggled the microphone and even restarted the computer, but the sound still comes from the computer's speakers and not the headphones. How do I fix this?

    1. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
    2. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    3. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
         Plug in the headphone. Try to adjust the volume slider.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so,uncheck it.

  • Yesterday suddenly the sound output from my Headphone is not working

    Hi, I've Mac Book Pro 15" with Retina display. Yesterday suddenly the sound output from my Headphone is not working. When I tried to solve this, I've noticed in system preferences it's jumping from Internal speakers to Head phone and vice versa. Can anyone help me on this issue please? I am using the original Apple Headset only.
    Thanks

    Tell us:
    OS X version ?
    What may have changed prior to the onset of the issue of "... suddenly... not working..." and " ... preferences ... jumping from ..." ? Software added, upgraded, updated?
    what precidely do you mean by " ... preferences ... jumping from ..." ?

    I see that your Question has languished for some period of time without response. You have posted your issue in Using Apple Support Communities whose topic is 'How to use this forum software's interface, features and/or how to find what you wish'. It is a relatively low traffic and inappropriate forum for your problem. I will ask our Hosts to move it to " MacBook Pro " where it may get a more rapid response from your fellow users.

  • After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a few weeks ago, I took it out of the car and it no longer works.  Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support.  Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car.  But wont work anywhere now

    After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a for the last few weeks, I took it out of the car and it no longer works.  Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support.  Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car.  But won't work anywhere now.  I tried re-setting but has not worked.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

  • The Remote App on my iPhone no longer works with my Apple TV 1st Gen

    I don't use it that often but when I want to, I want to...u know how it goes. Since one of the updates for the Remote app on the iPhone it no longer "sees" my 1st gen Apple TV, any ideas or am I SOL? Apple TV 1st gen doesn't do homesharing does it?

    there used to be a dark gray "pad" area on the display of my phone in the remote app that I could use kinda like a track pad to move around the menus on the appletv, u could tap it, swipe it etc, that's gone cause it no longer sees my apple tv library, I can't find the library on the apple tv, is that cause homesharing isn't available and it only sees things thru homesharing?

  • TS1741 I cannot get the remote app for Apple tv work on either my iPad or iPhone. Home sharing is "on". Any ideas?

    Why won' remote app for Apple tv work on my iPad or iPhone?  Home sharing is turned on.

    A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
    Port

    Protocol

    80
    TCP

    Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
    Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
    If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them
