Ipod Problems

[sh33zy]

So I have two problems with my ipod shuffle that I just got free from a friend:

1. The headphone jack in the ipod is messed up. It only plays from one ear bud when it is plugged all the way in, but when you pull it out it works in both ear pieces. Is there a way to replace the jack?

2. I also have an ipod video, and I have it so when I plug in my ipod video it does not automatically update the songs. But for some reason when I plug in my shuffle, its starts updating the songs on there. I forget how to change this.

Any help would be great thanks!

the shuffle's jack is built right into the logic board of the iPod which also contains the memory, sound card, etc, so yeah, its probably toast unless you haven't tried using different headphones (your headphone cord may have a bent end.)

The video, try updating the software to the newest revision from apple. If that doesn't work, check apple's website for ways to reset your iPod. (put it on hold, then take it off hold then hold the menu and the center button down. Doesn't delete your music.) if that doesn't work it may be a hardware problem. check the hard-drive cable connector, make sure it's completely connected to the drive and the logic board. It may just be a logic board problem as well so check out www.ifixipodsfast.com for more free professional help, unfortunately the parts do cost money.

I had a similar problem with a CD-player a couple years back. I tried different headphones and they worked fine, so check with different headphones first before you decide that soemthing's wrong with the player itself.
