Volume control on iPod

Is it possible to limit the volume on my child's iPod so he does not play it too loud while I am not with him?

Yes, see this.

Unlocking volume control on ipod nano

I never locked the volume control on my ipod nano but it is asking for a combination. The volume is weak and seems to be getting weaker even though the battery is saying it is charged. How to I get the combination and could something else be wrong with the volume?

If you no longer know the combination or don't know what it was set as you will need to restore the iPod via iTunes to get past it.
I'm assuming you have tried another pair of headphones?

No Volume Control on iPod touch! Help me please!

Last night I was going to watch a YouTube video on my iPod. My volume had been all the way down, so I tried to use the side buttons to turn it up, but it didn't work. I then noticed that the slide bar volume control wasn't available either. I've done some research on the web and can't seem to find a solution. I have the Best Buy warranty on my iPod, but I've went through heck with repairs on a previous iPod before, and I'd rather not have to ship this one to Dallas for Best Buy to fix it unless I have to.

No, I'm about to though. However, from what I've read online, this is a common problem and a reset/restore won't fix it. But I'm going to try.

I cannot remember my password for volume limit on iPod shuffle

Hello sasrichey,
You'll need to restore your iPod if you cannot recall the code used to lock the volume limit.
Note: If you forget the combination, you can restore iPod.

The volume control on my ipod touch 4th Gen is gone,what should I do?

It just happen to me lately, so as I open the music while my earhones are plugged,I saw that there is no volume control on my screen but the song is still playing but I can't hear anything so I remove my earphones then I plugged it again then the volume controls show. I have to do this all over again just to listen to my songs. Also,when I try to play it on loudspeaker,the volume control is missing again. I already restore my ipod but it is still the same. My OS is up to date so my itunes are. what should I do? Does somebody experiencing the same? Somebody help. Thanks

Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

Ipod touch 1st Gen, no volume control after update to 3.1.2

So i just upgraded my ipod touch to 3.1.2 which cost about $6, and the volume control is missing( even with the headphones plugged in).
How can i fix this? i dont want to do a restore and not have the firmware i just paid for.

The recovery at a XP-PC was successful! So it's clearly a driver issue.
For he ones who have a similar problem, but without the two "Recovery Mode - Devices" in the device manager, I had this problem, too. But it was easier to solve.
Look for your iPod in the device manager. It can be found in "Portable devices". Let your Windows (even 7) update the driver online. That helped in my case. But only till I tried the firmware update... :-/
So be careful! If you want to update the software of your iPod Touch or iPhone, too, I think, on a Windows 7 machine, make sure, that you have another PC with an older OS in reach!
I hope I could help somebody till Apple releases some compatible drivers...
Bye, folks.

Ipod Touch Gen 1 and 3.1.3 volume control

Im pretty annoyed at the latest firmware upgrade, the completely removes onscreen volume control. and the ipod touch 1st generation has no side buttons for it, making this now impossible for me to change without going into an app that has volume in it.
Before it was bad enough because I could not double click my button to enter the volume control/song change quick menu unless music was already playing, but I got around it.
I'm pretty disappointed with apples lack of support for earlier versions. Not only that, but I can find absolutely no feedback forms for anything other than itunes and the website.

I seem to recall that this issue only exists when there is nothing plugged into the headphone jack -- if you plug something in then you should have volume control. I guess the problem would be if you use an FM transmitter, is that the case?

1st gen iPod touch has lost it's volume control

After last update my iPod has lost it's volume control. I've tried everything I can think of - including doing a complete wipe and reinstall.
I've tested with several different headphones, incl Apples own, a pair of Skullcandy and a pair of Sennheiser.
No matter what I plug in the volume is extremely low, and I have no way of turning it up.
I've tried starting a playlist and then leave the music in the background. Then normally double-tapping the home button brings up music controls. That does happen, but there are no volume controls. Also there is no "Dock Connector" label in the control box.
What can I do?

I'm suffering from the same frustrating problem. One thing that worked for me for a week was to go into settings->General and change the sound effects to just come out of headphones. Until recently it's been an intermittent issue, but now appears to be solid. Like you, I've tried with a variety of headphones and nothing happens apart from getting really quiet music playing (barely audible). It's almost as if the volume limit is being set really low.

1st Gen iPod Touch No Volume control

The volume control in all apps and music just disappeared the other day, so I have no sound whatsoever. Didn't do anything different. The headphones are securely attached to the jack, I tried the "Reset all" option. Nada. What's next?

Hi,
Does "Reset All" include resetting your iPod? Try here for resetting your iPod: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430.

Volume control problem with 30GB iPod 3G, Universal Dock, and Apple Remote

I just hooked up my 30GB iPod 3G to the Universal Doc and tried the my new Apple remote. The only buttons on the remote that work in controlling my iPod while on the dock are the play/pause and the skip forward and back buttons.
For some reason the volume up and down buttons don't adjust the volume on my iPod while it's on the dock. Any ideas? Shouldn't the volume up and down work? Or do they only work on the newer iPods?
Any info appreciated.

btabz,
Thanks for your response. No the iPod doesn't respond at all--the volume display doesn't come up or change.
When I press the play/pause or either skip forward or back on the remote, the iPod, while on the dock, lights up and responds to the command as it should. But when I press volume up or down on the remote the iPod does not respond at all.
According to Apple's store info on the remote, the volume up/down controls should work. I am wondering if maybe it doesn't work with the 3Gs for some reason. But if that is the case, Apple should indicate that. It is kind of frustrating to not be able to adjust the volume.
Thanks,

My ipod touch thinks headsets are plugged in as indicated when pressing volume control. We did a reset but that did not work. What is next?

- 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.

Hi TheGuru146,
It sounds like the iPod isn't restoring correctly. Try putting the it into Disk Mode manually and then restoring the iPod again as described in the article linked below.
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
iPod nano (7th generation)
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds.
When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.
