Tip of headphone plug stuck in my iMac headphone jack...PLEASE HELP

Stupid of me...I was there listening to music on my imac then decided to get a drink of water, forgetting the headphones was on my ears I got up...Then all of a sudden i heard some kind of snap then I saw the tip of my headphone plug was stuck in my headphone jack. I can still hear the music from my internal speakers but cant use any headphones or external speakers PLEASE HELP IN GETTING THIS OUT OF THE HEADPHONE JACK as soon as possible...
Thanks

You have confused me, because you are posting in the iMac G5 PPC area, and you have an intel. I think that opening the case is quite difficult, you have to take the front of the bezel off, and the screen is taped down and is not easy to remove without damaging it. You probably will have to pack it up and send it to the nearest Apple repair center to be fixed.
Sorry,

    Did you try to restore it with itunes it should work then.Or try and reset it by going to settings/general/reset. If it doesn't work than go to apple some time and tell them about the error if they don't fix it than I am confused and have no clue what to do.

  • Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad.  We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc.  Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.

    That is why I said to restore via iTunes, did you check the link?
    This will put it back to factory settings and you can set it up with the new ID once you reconnect with your HDTV. This is not done via ethernet, as per the link you need to connect to the computer via micro usb. You cannot bypass home sharing.
    FYI: An Apple ID cannot be deleted so the old one would still exist (even if you no longer use the email account it is associated with).

  • Why can't i update the ios for my ipod? I'm stuck at 3.1.3. Please help.

    Why can't i update the ios for my ipod? I'm stuck at 3.1.3. Please help.
    I have itunes updated but it doesn't show that an update is available for the ipod.

    Probably because yu have a 1G iPod that can only go as high as 3.1.3. To identify your iPod:

    If you have a later iPod, what version of iTunes do you have on your computer and what computer OS and version?

  • HT201263 iphone is stuck at "Restoring Iphone Firmware".  Please Help.

    I was restoring and updating my Iphone 5 to IOS 7.0,6 and during the process after completing more than 50% of the process my phone is stuck at "Restoring Iphone Firmware".  Please Help.

    Hello nishit.kadia,
    It sounds like your phone became unresponsive when you attempted a restore of the device. Try resetting your device with this process:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    I would try putting the device in to recovery mode, and attempting the restore again:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

  • I have turned my iPad off and it's stuck in wheel turning icon and won't go off . How do I solve this as it's now stuck neither on or off. Please help!

    I have turned my iPad off and it's stuck in wheel turning icon and won't go off . How do I solve this as it's now stuck neither on or off. Please help!

    Try a reset and the iPad should restart (you can then try turning it off again) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I restarted my iPad but it is just stuck on the apple logo. Please help

    I restarted my iPad, but it is stuck on the apple logo. Please help.

    If a reset doesn't work, you will have to try and force the iPad into Recovery Mode (data will be lost)
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • Imic, my minidisc and my imac...please help.

    I am trying to understand how to import my recorded music on my minidics to my imac.
    I just bought the imic, and I really have no idea where to start to figure this out.
    I went to my system preferences, where i turned all output sound to my imic usb, in which i saw a "bar" of what I take is the sound, but could not hear it.
    Could someone please help me to import my music to my comupter so that I can burn it to a cd.
    Thanks so much in advanced.

    Open GarageBand's preferences, and under Audio/MIDI set the Input popUp menu to the iMic. You can also set the Output popUp to the iMic if you have headphones plugged into it, otherwise set it to Built-In.
    Create a New Basic Track, and you're ready to record.

  • My iPhone 4 is stuck on USB/iTunes screen. Please help!

    I tried updating my iPhone 4 via iTunes and received a error message and now my phone screen is stuck on the USB/iTunes screen. I have tried plugging, unplugging, starting, restarting, now iTunes doesn't even recognize the device. Please Help!

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button, for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Then click the Restore button of iTunes.
    If any Error Messages are given, write then down so you can look up the cause and solution.
    If you still have Warranty or AppleCare, you may have to take to Apple for resolution. Make Genius Reservation for shorter wait time.
