Why is my iPod stuck in headphones mode? How can I change it?

I was taking a shower and I had my iPod next to the shower playing music.  When I came out as soon as I turned of the music it was stuck in headphones mode. What happened?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. 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 iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Have you tired starting all over again forcing the iPad into recovery mode? Turn off your firewall and antivirus software and see of you can start the process all over again. Quit iTunes and restart the computer before you try again.
    Here are the insturctions to manually force the iPad into recovery mode.

  • I'm stuck in proxy mode, how can I get out?

    I seem to be be stuck in proxy mode. Even with a new library and a new clip, it shows a 'missing proxy' label. I can't switch to 'optimized/original media'. FCPX simply doesn't do it. I already tried trashing prefs and reinstalling FCPX. please help?

    What exactly happens when you try to switch by selecting Original/Optimized as in Alchroma's image? Does it still show Proxy as selected?
    You may also try Window->Revert to Original Layout.
    If reinstalling, it is recommended that you use FCS Remover to make sure that all traces of the application are deleted. And then you'd need to download a fresh copy from the App Store, and also download the additional content from inside the application.
    It stays on Proxy. That is the issue.
    Revert to original layout didn't help.
    I uninstalled using AppCleaner. I deleted all files (except the 1Gb of additional content)
    (BTW thanks for Luis and Alchroma for trying to help)

    i don't know why but when I unpluged my iPhone out of the auxiliary port it didn't switch back to the speakers.. I have done this a million times before and this has never happened. I've tried plugging it back in a few times but still hasn't worked

  • My i pad 2 stuck on headphone mod.how to fix it?

    help  me tq

    Unless you set up MobileMe / Find My iPad on it before it was lost/stolen, then no, unfortunately there isn't any way to locate it. If you did set up MobileMe on it then you could try locating it either via me.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on a another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or MobileMe disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police.
    As a safety precaution you should change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • Dropped phone and stuck on headphone mode

    Ok I dropped my iPhone while listening to pandora but I didn't have my headphones in. When it fell my speakers got a little wet and now I can't hear anything because my iPhone is stuck on headphone mode. Can anybody help me get off that mode????

    If no change after inserting and removing your earbuds or headphones several times in a row, your iPhone has hardware damage from the drop and from getting wet.
