TS2771 why are we hearing only background sounds when using earbuds?  works fine on ipod dock but not when earbud plug is pushed all the way in, it works when just barely pushed in.  please someone tell me it is a "cheap" fix.  :)

Just wanna know if anybody knows what might be wrong???  earbuds work but sounds like background music only when plug is in all the way.  just barely in and it sounds normal. also works fine on the dock. 
any input will be appreciated.  the teenager is having a spasm.

The headphones work with other devices it would appear the the headphone jack is bad and needs to be replaced.
A third-party place is a lot less expensive than Apple. Here is one:

  • Why are my imessages showing up as my email adress to one of my contacts but not the others?

    When I use imessage there is one contact in my phone that recieves my messages from my email address... everyone else recieves them from my number exept him.  I want to be able to use my imessage without it going as my email to him.

    The problem is you are both using the same Apple ID.
    You should each have your own.
    Check the settings here:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Recieve > remove the number that doesn't belong
    This will fix the message problem but using the same Apple ID will also merge all iCloud items enabled on the device here:
    Settings > iCloud
    Such as:
    Contacts, calendars , reminders, pjjotos, bookmarks, etc...
    It can get quit messy. It is always best to use your own Apple iD if for nothing else but iCloud.

  • Why will my iphone 4s NOT charge unless it is powered all the way off? can't car charge, wall charge or computer charge...help!

    I have done all system updates and still having problems. phone is 2 mos old--help!

    I checked with the Genius Bar.  It was a new dilema to the lady that was helping me.  She took it to a back room and worked on it but it came out the same.  She gave me some options for repair or credit for replacement.
    I just kept the phone and put up with slowly charging it by plugging it in and then turning it off.
    I couldn't transfer anything from itunes.
    I finally got fed up and bought a new charging port for $10. and a toolkit for $3.  I looked up a video on youTube for the replacement and did it.
    That solved all the problems, it was the charging port, must have been some bad pins or something because it patially worked.

  • I have a brand new Nano Ipod 7th Generation.  I can't get any sound out of earphones.  Yes, have pushed the cord all the way in.  Screen shows tunes are playing, but I can't hear anything.  Volume bar shows volume all the way up.  Now what?

    No sound out of earphones.  Yes, cord is all the way in the jack.  Screen shows tune is "playing", but I can't get any sound out.  Help

    If this is the case, I recommend to visit Apple store to request for replacement. Cheers!

  • When I am connected with Firefox I am hearing a background sound of a door opening and closing.

    Starting about one month ago I have been hearing a background sound of a door opening or closing. When opening, it is the sound of a latch turning and then a creaking door sound, and when closing it is the sound of a slamming latch.It is intermittent, ocurring every 5-10 minutes or so when connected with Firefox. There is no apparent problem associated with sounds, I'm just wondering why it's happening and what it might mean.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Why are most apps only for apple products?

    Why are most apps only for Apple products.???
    why aren't most of the apps developed for other systems?

    I am equally disappointed by the lack of Android support.
    Just a guess as to why there is so little support for Android ... I'd bet that Adobe is slow to release Android apps because Android is fragmented with a very broad range of versions out there.  Even if Android device owners want to upgrade to the latest version of Android, they usually can't get an upgrade -- this may be a problem with the device manufacturer (there are many of them), a mobile carrier or even Google.
    iOS devices only have 1 company involved in the update process: Apple.  Since iOS is a closed platform - controlled by 1 company who pushes identical updates to most devices - it is a lot easier to maintain a reliable app for iOS users.
    I don't want to switch to iOS devices, but I may have to until Adobe steps up its Android development.

  • I have an iphone 4, when I plug in headphones I can pick up music and only background sounds, but no voices. It happens on every video or movie I see, but music works perfectly fine. Did anyone else have this problem or was it just me?

    Hey there Srkupo,
    It sounds like your vocal audio is not working with your headphones connected to your iPhone. I would start with the troubleshooting from the following article to help troubleshoot them named:
    Resolve issues with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch accessories
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2634
    Update your software
    Install the latest version of iOS. You can see which version is on your iPhone by going to the About screen.
    If the device doesn't update successfully, the issue might be with your device and not the accessory. Learn how to check your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Disconnect and inspect the accessory, then restart your device
    Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible.
    Inspect the connection between the accessory and device and make sure that no debris or other damage is present.
    Restart your iOS device by turning it off, then back on. When the Home screen appears, reconnect the accessory.
    Try a different device
    Make sure the issue is with the accessory, if possible. Always use an identical or similar, compatible device with the accessory you're troubleshooting.
    If there's static coming from the left audio channel when you use headphones, try connecting the headphones to a similar device.
    If the device isn't syncing when connected to the dock, connect it directly to the computer using the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or try another USB port.
    If you're using Lightning to 30-pin Adapter in a connection chain, try using the same adapter on a similar or identical device.
    Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Restore your iOS device. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
    If this does not resolve the issue could you elaborate on where you are listening to this content from to help isolate the issue?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Hey iphone an iphone 3g and i only have about 13 apps and the yellow bar on itunes for my phone is way to big i deleted all my photos all my music every thing i ryed restoring ans all it still takes up space for sum reason ?? please someone help me

    hey iphone an iphone 3g and i only have about 13 apps and the yellow bar on itunes for my phone is way to big i deleted all my photos all my music every thing i ryed restoring ans all it still takes up space for sum reason ?? please someone help me

    If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted.  The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

  • Whenever i try to login with my apple ID , it says this ID is not yet used on itunes. & because of this i can't even download apps. Please someone tell me what should i do ? ASAP.

  • Why are some emails only found in 'search', they do not exist in any of my folders?

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1030552 /questions/1030552]''
    Emails like bills for my phone and electricity only exist if I do a search for them. They are not in any of my folders. My Junk folder was not previously visible but now is but is empty. Maybe future junk will go there but I still want to know where all the other emails are stored. Where is this limbo folder with emails that can only be found when searching?

    Are you talking about a Pop or IMAP mail account?
    If IMAP and you are viewing the remote Junk Folder, does this folder get emptied by the server periodically?
    Do you have settings in Thunderbird to auto delete Junk after x days?
    check here:
    Tools > Account Settings > Junk Settings for the mail account
    at the bottom - ''Automatically delete junk mail older than xx days'' - is this selected?
    ''re: On searching for them I can find them but still I don't know where they are ''
    Are you using Global Search?
    The additional flters on the left side will help to narrow down the list.
    If yes, click on 'Open email as list'
    then right click on column headers and select 'Location'.
    This will tell you the folder.
    For future reference:
    you could use Message Filters to capture those 'bill' emails and put them in a specific folder.
    Create a folder called 'Bills'.
    then create a message filter using info like this example.
    Filter Name : Bills
    Apply filter when:
    * Select ' Manually Run
    * Select; Getting new mail
    * select: Filter before Junk classification
    * select: Match any of the following
    * 'FROM' and 'IS' and email address
    * click on small +
    * add another bill email address - repeat as required.
    Perform these actions:
    * 'Move message to' and select Bills folder on account.
    * click on OK to create the Filter.
    * Make sure it is enabled.

  • I bought my ipad from ksa and am from egypt .. my ipad connected to the itunes in ksa but from someone else laptop and i came here to egypt and it says itunes could not connect to this ipad becuz an unknown error :S what should i do please someone tell me

    Your iPad is syncd with iTunes on your computer and your iTunes account controls what's in your iPad.   Previously it must have been sync'd with another person's iTunes account in which case you need to completely clear it out to make it your own.
    Go to Settings > General > Reset (at bottom) > Erase All Content and Settings
    Then plug it into your computer and restore it with YOUR iTunes account.
    Or if your have an iTunes account already setup under your name with your own apps and media -
    Plug it into your computer, open iTunes if it doesn't open automatically and on your iPad page, click Restore
    Let it proceed.  Then the iPad will no longer be looking for someone else's account.

  • I just got a new I Phone 4S and my volume is all the way up but the other person sounds far and i could bearly hear them. i checked all settings and they are all up as high as they can go

    I just got a new I Phone 4S and my volume is all the way up but the other person sounds far and i could bearly hear them. i checked all settings and they are all up as high as they can go. This is my first I Phone and don't know if this is normal for this phone

    Hi Flex,
    Congrats on the first iPhone.  This is not normal.  First check if moving the volume up or down either way has any impact on the sound.  Then see what happens while on speakerphone.  If you can hear ok on speakerphone, and there's no change from the regular earpiece with the volume changing, check with the carrier you received it from or the Apple store you purchased from.  They will have other things to look at for you.
