what is wrong with my headphone jack? i have an ipod touch 4th generation ipod touch every pair of headphones and earbuds i plug in it has the same sound going to both sides.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price                  
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Hi! I have a library of around 1000 songs on my iTunes, I recently synced my phone and all was lost, my partner has the same songs on hers with a different sign in, but not backed up anywhere, any suggestion on how I can store her tunes in my account ???

    Hi! I have a library of around 1000 songs on my iTunes, I recently synced my phone and all was lost, my partner has the same songs on hers with a different sign in, but not backed up anywhere, any suggestion on how I can store her tunes in my account ??? Then sync them to mine? When I sign her phone into her account I get a message warning that if I sync the dogs on her phone will be replaced by the ones in the library! But as there are no songs there I'm reluctant to continue!!! Please help this non techi guy.!!!!!

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • Anyone know what's wrong with my audio jack?

    So I've had this computer for about 2 years now, got this when I graduated High School now I'm going into my junior year of college. Out of the time that I've had it I had to replace the hard drive once, and nowadays the headphone jack is giving me some sort of strange feedback. I read other posts regarding systems preferences regarding headphones and it works just fine. The weird thing is that whenever I plug my headphones in to the audio jack, I receive a lot of unnecessary feedback. I'll hear buzzing, static, and my sound is all the way at max volume but it sounds as if it's at the minimum. Whenever I jiggle my headphones the static gets louder, but that doesn't seem to solve the problem or give an idea to what's wrong.
    Props to anyone if they know whatever's going on with my stuff. Thanks

  • HT4623 I would like to have both my lock symbol and mute symbol to be off at the same time can they both be in the control at the same time

    looking for a way to have. both mute in lock symbol in the control panel. don't like that I can only have one working at a time

    I have posted this many, many times here. See if this helps you understand how this process works with regard to system sounds and screen rotation lock.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Hi. I was wondering what was wrong with my  iPhone 5? It won't turn on or ity won't charge on my computer or wall plug in. It's been several hours. And i recently got the iOS7

    I have a problem with my iPhone5. I went for a jog with my iPhone5 and when i was done and at home i notice my iPhone wasn't on. So  i pressed the power button and  it wont say that its battery dead or anything and so i left it charging for an hour but it still wont turn on. It wont charge on my computer or wall plugins.

Come to think of it i havent payed my phone bill.

  • HT1338 Everytime I plug in my Ipad or Iphone and attempt to sync Iphoto via Itunes or uploading new pictures to Iphoto, my computer panics and closes either program. What is wrong with my Iphoto? (I have the up to date software)

    I could really use some help. This problem has been plaguing me for over 6 months. Please help.

    Have you tried running Disk Utility/Repair Permissions and deleting the .plist for the two programs?
    In Finder, hold down the option key while selecting the Go to Folder Command and select user library.

  • HT4913 I bought a new computer, bought itunes match, but my iphone doesn't recognize that i bought it and wont work.  I am using the same apple id on both but tells me i am not subscribed for it everytime i try to turn it on on my phone.

    help please

    Have you tried logging out of the Store in your iPhone's Settings? iOS devices store your account information upon login, and it looks to me as if your iPhone is still reading your old info prior to subscribing to Match.
    - Go to Settings > Store
    - Tap your Apple ID, then hit Sign Out
    - Go back to Store, sign back in with your Apple ID
    Hope this helps

  • Can someone tell me what's wrong with this LOV query please?

    This query works fine..
    select FILTER_NAME display_value, FILTER_ID return_value
    from OTMGUI_FILTER where username = 'ADAM'
    But this one..
    select FILTER_NAME display_value, FILTER_ID return_value
    from OTMGUI_FILTER where username = apex_application.g_user
    Gives the following error.
    1 error has occurred
    * LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query.
    Thanks very much,
    -Adam vonNieda

    Ya know, I still don't know what's wrong with this.
    declare
    l_val varchar2(100) := nvl(apex_application.g_user,'ADAM');
    begin
    return 'select filter_name display_value, filter_id return_value
    from otmgui_filter where username = '''|| l_val || '''';
    end;
    Gets the same error as above. All I'm trying to do is create a dropdown LOV which selects based on the apex_application.g_user.
    What am I missing here?
    Thanks,
    -Adam

    my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?

    I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed.  So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?
