What do i do if my (a.) my itunes no longer detects my ipod, and (b.) no sound comes out of the headphone jack? The ipod still turns on, operates, and charges.

My ipod still works as far as powering up and operating is concerned, but it suddenly stopped outputting a signal through the sound jack. Also it no longer is detected by itunes in the source list.

It would be odd if both of those problems happened at the same time, since they seem unrelated (unless you dropped the iPod or got it wet or had some other accident).
Check the other end of both of those connections first. Try a different set of headphones. Try a different docking cable. Try a different USB port. Make sure the computer has been restarted since having this problem.
If it still powers up to the main screen, and seems to play songs (although you can't hear them), that probably means the hard drive is still working. That's good, because it's the most valuable part, and the part that usually breaks first (on an iPod that has a hard drive).
If you can't get it working, you might consider getting a broken iPod on eBay. Chances are good that it is broken because of a bad hard drive (unless the description makes it clear that it's another problem), and the other parts (except maybe the battery) are likely to be OK. You can then swap its bad hard drive for your iPod's hard drive. Be sure to get the same type of iPod, including the thickness, because the 5th gen iPod came in two thicknesses (corresponding to the thickness/capacity of the hard drive mechanism).
This is one web site with instructions for disassembly

But don't spend too much money on it. The hard drive may appear to be working now, but you never know when it might fail.

my ipod touch has the same problem. I restored it three times, but that can't help.

HT201401 Why is it that all the sound comes out of the right speaker when playing music? The left speaker seems to be blocked or damaged what do i do to be certain that there may be a problem?

I have just noticed whilst playing music on my iphone4 that the sound doesn't play on the left side, as if it has broken..not sure whats going on. I have tried different songs ..changed EQ but i think think is internal. This has happened recently as i noticed the change in sound straight away.

So why is it that my friend who is directly in front of me with iphone 4 and both speaker holes sound... Yet another friend next to me has same problem as me? We are covering one finger over one side and comparing. Left no sound.

Ipod Nano 7 - No sound comes out of the headphones, and i tried different headphones... Can you help? What shall i do?

Hello ! No sound comes out of my ipod nano 7. I tried different headphones, all working on other players, but nothing comes out of the ipod nano. Of course I turned the volume up and made sure to press on play... Anybody to help me out? Thanks a lot !

The jack on the Nano is very tight when it is new. Push the headphones all the way in until the plastic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the Nano.

Just downloaded update 11.1.4 and my itunes no longer syncs with Ipods or Iphones. What do I do?

Just downloaded itunes update 11.1.4 and now my itunes no longer syncs with ipods or iphones. What do i do? Should i uninstall new update? and how?

I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy. I had a thought and redowned the updater 10.6.8 thinking it was a bad install still the same issues. Sorry I couldn't help. I am also looking for the answers.

TS2634 I bought a ipad back in December and the ear buds never worked. The sound doesnt come out of what you put in your ear but comes out of the little hole on the outside of the ear buds. Is this supposed to be this way?

The earbuds that came with my ipad have never worked. They have sound that comes out of the outside hole of the earbuds. When you put them in your ears no sound can be heard. Has this been a problem or did mine just come broken?

I have the same problem and it has just started in the last day or so...
Got the phone late July and then in the last day, everytime I plug into PC or take a photo, I get the same "Disk Error / Retry message"
What is interesting is that I always had the Photo Storage location as the Memory Card (detachable). Seems odd that sometime in the last month or so the phone decided to change my setting to the Mass Memory. Might have been an firmware update that I have done in the past but not sure.
Changing the Photo Storage Location back to the Memory Card has stopped the error coming up everytime a Photo wastaken, but the message continues when I plug in the phone to the PC.
Phone was just updated to latest firmware this morning and that has not helped, although during the back-up process I could not save some files from the Mass Memory.
I wonder if Optus will shout a new phone because their technicians are useless with past experiences and to be honest the N97 really promises so much but offers very little compared to all of my last Nokia's.

My ipod wont turn on also wont charge. Could this possibly be my motherboard? If so, could i get it fixed at what cost?

What is the reason I'd appreciate if you help how to fix it ...pleasa help me

Doing those doesn't turn off your phone?
As stated hold down the top button only until you see the red slider to power off your phone.
If that doesn't work then take it to Apple and see what they say.

Headphone tip stuck in headphone jack no sound comes out or goes in, what should i do?

i just got my macbook pro unibody, and first time i insert headphone in the jack the little piece of the head phone gets stuck in the jack. what should i do ? Does the warranty cover that kind of stuff( cause i think they should) or is there a solution? anything, please help!!

I had the same problem. I tried tweezers, glue and neither worked. If you can, bring it into the Apple Store.
Otherwise, a cheap fix so you can use headphones/earbuds:
I bought a USB to headphone jack adapter and it worked well. This is the one I got:
Syba SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MSS6CS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
I'm sure many other similar adapters would work too.
It didn't require any device drivers, it was plug and play.
Once you plug it in, go to System Preferences, Sound, and click the Output tab at the top of the dialog box. Then select: C-media USB audio device
Your headphones should work now, but I think your internal speakers will remain inaccessible until you get your MacBook repaired.

What should I do if whenever I open Itunes it freezes my whole computer and the mouse doesn't move?

you might need help with OS X more than iTunes though.

HT1657 What happens if my AppleTV looses connectivity with Apple Stopre BEFORE my movie finishes?! I am unable to watch the movie now! Do I get charged?

My Apple TV suddenly stopped in the middle of a movie and notified me that it had lost contact with Apple Store. I reconnected and it did not recognize I had already paid for a rental. So I tried to rent it again and it again told me it had lost contact. Bottom line, do I get charged? What address is there where I can dispute the charge if I do get charged?

As it says on the page that you posted from :
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Why it's like that I don't think that Apple have said (these are user-to-user forums). If you haven't downloaded it on your iPad then have you checked to see if you can download it on your computer's iTunes (Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option) or Apple TV ?
If it doesn't show on either of them then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will let you download it on a different computer/device or refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

What do you do if your Ipod Touch won't let music come out of the internal speakers?

What do I do/ I've searched the web and nothing has worked!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I just got a new iphone 5. When I plug in the ear buds, the sound still comes out of the phone itself. What do I do to get the audio to go to the ear buds?

Just got a new iphone 5. When I plug in the ear buds, the audio still comes out of the phone itself. How do I transfer the audio to the ear buds?

Make sure it's plugged in all the way, because it clicks when it's no all the way In and many users get confused. If not try turning it.

My iPod 5 has bent, the screen popped out and the home botton is jammed in and isn't able to come out. The iPod works fine. What would they do at a repair shop to fix this?

I'm wondering if they would fix the screen, button and dents, and how much this would cost.

If defective, within warranty and not abused
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one at no cost. Otherwise the exchange cost is $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs They do not fix yours.

You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:

or send it in to Apple. See:
