I jut bought new Apple earpods with remote and mic but the controls wont work with my iPod touch 5th gen, I tried them with my brothers 4th gen iPod touch and they worked perfect. What can I do to fix this problem?
iPod touch (5th generation), iOS 6.1.4
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone 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 orother hardware problem. If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at not cost.
