Why is it when I plug in any headphone that only one works?
Why is it when I plug in any headphones that only one works?
the song is in mono or only one track
one of your headphones is broken
there's something wrong internally in your iPod.
Try different songs to see if all of them only play on one side. also try apps to see if the sound is on one side or both.
Try a different set of headphones/ear buds to see if they sound different
if neither of the above fixes it then you may want to have Apple check out the device and see if the jack is broken

When i plug in any headphones or the auxillary cord i am getting mostly static?
when i plug in any headphones or the auxillary cord i am getting mostly static, can't figure out why?!
Could be a faulty/damaged headphone jack or a problem with the iPod's audio chip. Either way, your iPod will need servicing from Apple or a third party repair company.

My ipod touch headphone jack do not work when I plug in any headphones to it. How do I get to listen on headphones with my IPod touch?
You likely have a problem with the headphone jack. You jhave to ways to listen to music via headphones:
- Get the jack fixed. Here is one place:

However first I wold rule out a software problem by try the following:
Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults.
The other way is to use bluetooth headhone if you have a 2G or later iPod. -
Help please I have a Ipod touch, and when I plug in the head set only one side is playing
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.

Why is it when i plug my iphone in to sync,i get a corrupt file message cant sync.It wants to reset my phone back to factory settings and i lose all my phone.It has happened 5 times to me now.
well, you probably have a corrupt file as the message indicates. You will need to reset your phone back to factory settings as indicated.
If you've been using your phone as designed, you've been making frequent backups so that data loss will be minimal, if at all.
Best,

My phone's speakers only work sometimes. It started recently, and I just moved to Hawaii so I am at the beach alot. Could sand have something to do with this? Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

Absolutely!
If you are taking your $500 electronic device to the beach, I recommend you get a case that completely seals the iPhone from the elements (ie. waterproof).

My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. I tried restarting it a few times, nothing worked. I looked up many tutorials, and still nothing did the trick. Any tips?

The other day when I was on my iPod touch (8 GB) I put on music but then something when wrong. When I plug in my headphone and put music on, it sounded like I was hearing music under water, and it sounded fuzy and weird. Then I unplug the headphone from my iPod touch (8 GB) and I got my computer and plug in my headphone and put music, and it sounded fine. What should I do about this?

My iPhone 5s has stopped playing music out of the speakers. It works when I plug in my headphones but other than that there's no sound. It just randomly happened so I'm not sure if I can fix it or if I need to bring my phone in. Help?
Hi Cassilecompte,
If you are not getting any sound from your iPhone’s speaker, you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

why every time when im going to install games that cannot be installed and asking for newest version of iphone software, how can i upgrade newest version of iphone software?
Plug your phone into your computer running iTunes. Click on the phone in the left pane of iTunes. Click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
If you have a 3G, the highest you can go is 4.2.1. -
For some reason when I plug my ipod into my comp itunes freezes but my ipod says it is plugged and when I plug it into a different comp it works. How can I fix this?
Setesh, See if both computer has the same version of iTunes, if both are the same, then it is your PC, that has plug-ins which is in conflict it iTunes. ( normally it is the Antivirus or some plug-ins to beautify your screen)
If it is different, most likely the other PC has an older version of iTunes, so you should downgrade your iTunes to that older version, which your iPod interface well with.
Other probable causes,
you are using the USB 1.1 port at the front of your PC, and not the USB2,0 port at the back of your PC. so switch to the back.
Dont use any other USB devices, when you are syncing the iPod.
Dont use any USH Hub.
Have a nice day! -
I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto. The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all. How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto? Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto. Thanks
To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

I have just bought iphone 4 and when I make calls i don't hear anything from the headset excep when i plug in the headphones or turn on speaker ?
I have the same problem. It only started a few days ago. When I make or receive calls I have to use speaker otherwise I can't hear a thing. I'm also pretty sure that when I try to make calls without the speaker turned on, it doesn't actually dial, but the display says it has.
I've tried restoring from a backup with no luck. I'm reluctant to restore as a new phone as it's such a pain. -
What can I do for the following situation: I think my insert slot for the headphones does not work; when I put in any cable that should and can go in all I hear is low frequent static sounds.
You might try talking to the Apple store manager and see if you don't get more help...you might also contact Apple.com/support and see if they can give you a contact with the Apple Italy offices.
Sounds like you have two levels of failure, the first shop that did the repair and broke a wire, and the second that has disabled something else and isn't helping.
Apple officially refurbished equipment is usually good quality. Surprising this has happened but you need to press on with complaints and try for resolution.
