Why is my iPhone 4S still in headphone mode even though i have my headphones out of the 3.5mm jack?(iOS 6.1)

The reason why this is, is because you either have the "change sounds with buttons" setting ON or, you have installed either a faulty version of iOS 6.1 or a version which has an extremely massive bug in it. You can, however, get it out of headphone mode by following these steps;
Step 1: Check if your "change with sounds with buttons" setting is off.
Step 2: if step 1 is as said, go onto iTunes and go to "restore".(This WILL delete all of you devices data but if you have it backed up on iCloud or on iTunes so you dont need to panic.
If all of those steps seem to not be the case, contact your nearest apple store or phone their hotline.
I hope this helped some people in distress.

Briansyddal - you might be able to manage your phone without a PC, but many of us can't, especially those of us with large iTunes libraries.  How do you propose I manage my 250GB of music using only a phone?  Maybe I could go out and buy 10 iPhones and spread my library out among them!
Catz537 - I have the same problem as you and I've spent hours on the web trying to find a solution to it.  It was a problem with iOS 7 and  8.1.1 doesn't fix it.  The the only advice from Apple is completely useless because it requires you, effectively, to delete and recreate your iTunes library and lose all your metadata, album art, notes etc and there's also no guarantee it will work.   I wish I could be more help (even more - I wish Apple could be more help) - I updated to 8.1.1 at 1400 today.  At 2200 I'm still "waiting for changes to be applied" for a measly 16GB of music transfer.

    Why can't I see documents using adobe reader even though I have the most updated version?

    Hi lawalton,
    Please tell me a bit more--what happens when you try to open your files in Reader? Are you getting an error message? Do they open, but don't display correctly?
    I look forward to hearing back from you so we can get this mystery sorted out.

  • "Unknown Artist" comes up on iPhone music library for some albums even though they have an artist in iTunes, Also some artwork not showing on iPhone even though the artwork for the album is on the iTunes library on my iMac

    Trying to copy full albums onto my iphone 5s, some (About 25%) albums have "unknown artist" where the artist should be, even though they have the correct artist names in Itunes on my MBP.
    Also some albums dont have artwork on the iphone but it is there on itunes on my MBP.
    Is there a fix?
    (itunes 11.1.2, iphone 7.0.3)

    When you fix track names and album art in iTunes the information is written to an XML database and not to the file itself. You can use Doug's scripts to embed meta information to the file.

    There is also an iTunes vbscript if you're using windows.

  • HT4061 I upgraded and no longer have an iphone. Now my fiance nor anyone with an iphone can text me because it still wants to use iMessage even though I have removed my number from the icloud, apple, and itunes. I have no idea what more to do.

    We have already deleted my name and number from his iPhone, and tried re-adding it. It still lists my number as an iMessage. It is not feasible to ask everyone in my contact list with an iphone to turn that off so that they can text me. Please help. I've already done everything that I could find online, deleting my number out of everything and nothing has helped thus far. Thanks in advance.

  • Can i still sync my files even though i have corrupted files?

    so i just put my itunes library on my new mac laptop from my pc. on my pc i have that stupid thing where it says it lost the pathway and i guess the files are now corrupted. BUT they still play on my ipod. I have synced my ipod several times not realizing this could cause a issue on my ipod, but the songs are still playing on my ipod but not my pc. so now the songs wont play on my mac either, but still play on my ipod. i want to download some more songs, but i am afraid to sync my mac and my ipod now for fear that it will replace the songs that work, with the corrupted files. also, i used my ipod as a external hard drive to transfer the files and haven't set it back up to do an automatic sync because once again i am afraid of losing the songs. the songs that are corrupt are ones from cds and ones i downloaded off itunes. but when i go to try to download the songs i already purchased, it doesn't get them all.
    help?

    if the error you are getting is a disk copy error when trying to sync the ipod, then that error normally halts the sync process. that would be why you "synced" your ipod but the songs still play on your ipod... if you have a back up of your computer, then you can find and delete the file that is giving the read or copy error and replace it with your back up.
    very important! if you are actually getting read or copy errors, then your disk may be beginning to fail. make sure that you have a good back up. if not then make one as soon as possible. as the saying goes, there are 2 kinds of hard disks: those that have failed and those that are going to fail... so protect yourself and make a back up if you wish to avoid the pain of loosing files.
    if some other problem is happening, like the some files have been mistakenly deleted (outside of itunes) and itunes just cant find the files anymore, than that is a matter of resorting the files from a back up. i believe itunes will also halt a sync if it can't find a file...
    there is a shareware utility called "podworks" which allows you to copy a song from your ipod and restore it to your computer if you've lost the song from your hard disk... but it will only copy what is still on your ipod, meaning that if you do a sync and some files get deleted from your ipod in the process, then you'll have to restore them another way. you can find podworks on versiontracker.com

  • My phone is stuck in headphone mode even though the headphones are not attached to the phone.  How do I fix this?

    I am trying to raise the volume on my phone, but it is saying that the headphones are attached when they are not attached.  How do I fix this?

    I tried everything there was. I tried to plug and unplug, I tried to clean it and dry it, and I really didn't want to put my phone in a bag of rice for 12 or 24 hours because I wasn't very patient. So what I did was; I put my phone on headphone mode and put it on airplane mode, then I left it there for 5 minutes and turned airplane mode off and it was working!!!! Hope this helped.

  • HT4061 My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped charging even though I have used different cables and adaptors. The cables adaptors charge another phone so nothing wrong at that end

    My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped charging. Have used three different cables and adaptors to no avail. The cables charge other phones so something wrong with the phone only. Need advice on possible solutions?

    Always try
    a reset then
    a restore first with back up then as new ,as required
    If still no improvement visit Apple Store genius bar
    BUT first check there is no debris in charging socket

  • My apps, photos etc on my iPad are only partially backing up on iCloud. Anybody know why? It's only backing up 1.7GB even though I have 13GB of stuff on it.

    My apps and everything on my iPad are only partially backing up to iCloud. It's only backing up 1.7 GB but I have 13GB of stuff on my iPad. I have 200GB of iCloud storage so I don't know what the issue is.

    Apps are not part of the backup. In app data is, but backing up the apps would be redundant as they can be re-downloaded from the store for free. Media (music, movies, podcasts, etc.) are also not part of the backup for the same reason.
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    What iCloud backs up
    You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries. For more information, see the Apple Support article What can I buy from the iTunes Store in my country?.
    Photos and videos on your iOS devices
    Device settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemail
    Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device.
    It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo albums, iCloud Photo Library beta, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.

  • Why does my connection to Apple store constantly fail even though I have good internet connectivity to all non-apple apps?

    Hi.
    All of a sudden my IOS devices are having difficulty accessing all of my Apple-store controlled apps and purchases when using my home network, even though it is a really fast network and my other devices work perfectly. Spotify, YouTube and Netflix and all apps that don't rely on Apple purchases are working perfectly on my iPad and ipod, and I have fast internet speed and perfect connectivity on all my other devices.
    But when I go to Newsstand or iTunes Store for example I get the message 'can't connect to Apple server' or 'you are not connected to wifi' even though all non-Apple apps are connecting perfectly on the same device. I have tried all the usual reboot, reset solutions and nothing seems to resolve this. My software is up to date. My iPod and iPad are working perfectly when I use another network. My home network is working perfectly for everything else.
    Any ideas?

    Sorry for bad English and typos, I wrote it quickly.
