Why doesn't my headphone jack go in all the way?

I have recently got a macbook late 2008 unibody which im completely over the moon with, but I have one problem. when i got to plug my headphones in about 1 or 2mm sticks out of the jack, this makes it really hard to listen to music as it really tempermental and has to be kept in the same postion, does anyone know why this is? I have tried with my solo HDs and JVC gummys and it still sticks out, anyone got any ideas? thanks

Oh my gosh thank you! I didn't wanna apply too much force in fear of breaking a brand new iPod, but I was seriously about to throw it at a wall the next time the plug came out. You're a life saver.

Why does my iphone 4 play music out of the speakers when headphones are plugged in all the way

Any suggestions? Just happened yesterday out of nowhere

Have you checked the settings in System Preferences>Sound? Are you certain that the jack is fully inserted? If available I would try another set of earphones.
Ciao.

Why are some of my websites not loading all the way after loading 7.0.1?

I upgraded to 7.0.1... CNN, eBay, webemail, banjohangout.org (modal windows script needs files from widget) and some other websites do not open properly . I am running XP 32. I upgraded Radeon x1600 video drivers upgraded to v. 8.593 (10.2). Troubleshoot in Firefox 7.0.1 says WebGL & GPU blocked...customer needs to upgrade to v. 10.6 or higher. ATI (manufacturer) does not have V.10.6. What now?

Why is there a black transparent line going all the way round my screen?

I don't know what it is and don't know how to get rid of it. PLZ HELP. Much apreciated.

Hi AaronDuncan,
Looking into your issue a bit more, I am wondering if you have a Hot Corner set up in Mission Control set to show Desktop. See this article -
OS X Mavericks: Mission Control preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13925
If you click on the Hot Corners button, one of the corners may be labeled Desktop. Go back to that corner to revert to the normal display, without the line around it.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Having a MBPr late 2013 and having a sound problem the sound does not come tom the headphones even its all the way up and when i remove the headphones it docent come out the internal speaker either ? any idea how i fix this?

the sound do not come out the headphones sometimes altho its all the way up in the setting and when i remove the headphones the sound doesnt come from the internal speaker either and only a reboot fixes the problem and thats annoying! any idea how tto fix this?

Hello. I've been able to play sound without problems through headphones or external speakers to date - the output always switched to these automatically until today. Now, sound output continues through internal speakers even if I plug in headphones or external speakers.
- I tested the headphones and speakers on other devices: they work fine.
- When I plug in headphones or speakers into the audio output port (I have verified that I'm not using the input jack) the devices are not detected and are not listed under the output tab in system preferences-sound.
I concluded from this that I probably had a problem with the audio port, so to test that I tried the following. I plugged a powered multi-USB device with ports for microphone line-in and headphone line-out into the USB port and switched it on. I verified that it was working by plugging a USB stick into the multi-USB device - this was recognised successfully, so the device was clearly working. I then plugged in headphones and speakers into the audio line-out on the multi USB device - but still no sound came through them (and tey were not listed among output devices) and the Mac continued using internal speakers.
What should I do? Does the latter test suggest that the problem does not lie with the audio port, or is my test not conclusive? What would you advise?
Many thanks indeed!

My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

There is probably a red light on inside your headphone port, indicating that the analog/digital switch in there is stuck in the digital position. Insert a headphone plug and wigle it around, especially in the horizontal plane, as you insert and remove it several times. This will usually unstick the switch and restore normal operation. If it doesn't, the machine will need to be repaired.
This has been a fairly common problem, but in most cases it is easily cured as described above.

My keyboard clicks and ringer volume have disappeared. I have tried plugging in the head phones many times, blowing air in the headphone jack, credit card in the charger jack, everything on you tube basically! To no avail! Any suggestions?

Hi Bones777,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you do not hear sound from your iPhone speakers, try these steps next:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If you still do not hear sound after completing the troubleshooting above, I recommend backing up your iPhone data and restoring the iOS software:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Headphone plug doesn't go in all the way

when i try to plug in the earbuds that came with my new ipod (4G, 8GB) into the headphone jack, the plug doesn't go in all the way and only goes in about halfway. i can hear music but whenever i play a song and drop my ipod in my pocket, the slightest movement causes the plug to move and pause the music. its really annoying and happens everytime. is this an abnormality with my ipod or are all ipod 4Gs like this?

Oh my gosh thank you! I didn't wanna apply too much force in fear of breaking a brand new iPod, but I was seriously about to throw it at a wall the next time the plug came out. You're a life saver.

Headphone jack problems limited to the Zen Mic

My first generation Zen Micro's headphone jack recently crapped out and given that the 5G hard dri've is just about full I am looking to get a 20G Zen Sleek. Does anyone know if the headphone jack problem seen on the Zen Micro has been as issue with other Creative MP3 players or has Creative started beefing up the headphone jacks? It would be good to know before I spend $250 on a new player that will fail in less than a year.

From what I remember there was one post about a broken jack on a Sleek, but hard to know if this was a troublemaker or not. I've not seen any others, but it is early days yet. Equally I hope Creative have learned from a failed design on two players now...

I went in you tube and watched videos on how to fix my headphone jack and its not the headphones cause when I look inside I see this little white costing in there I think that's the problem how can I fix it

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Make sure that y do not leave any foreign material or leave anything in the 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
If not under warranty 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.

Replace the jack yourself

I recently downloaded the new iTunes version. Why doesn't my new uploaded music appear in the "My Music" playlist?

I recently downloaded the new iTunes version. Why doesn't my new uploaded music appear in the top of the "Music" playlist?

First see if Finder Preferences has the box checked for... show CD, DVD, iPods checked.
Sometimes dirty DVDs won't read, mine is ery particular about smudges and scratches.
Try a SMC Reset:

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

Many things can prevent this: the phone is out of battery power, the phone has been wiped out and is no longer connected to your mobile me account, and many more.

iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.
