Volume controls don't work in Messages iOS 8. And music stops playing when I open Messages

My volume buttons don't work when I'm in Messages on iOS 8, I can't change the ringer or headphone volume. More annoyingly music stops playing when I open Messages, but I can start it again. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

For all of you, the first thing to do when these things happen after an update, is to close all your open apps and reset. This will cure your ills 99.9% of the time:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • IOS8 - Music stops playing when I open Messages app

    Since downloading iOS8, my music stops playing when I open the Messages app.  I have to go back to the Music app to begin playing the music again once I have closed the Messages app.  I assume it has something to do with the video/audio message feature.  How can I get my music to continue playing when I open the messages app?

    Rebooting my phone (a 5S) solved this issue, at least temporarily. I was ready to rush to the Apple Store and beg them for an iOS 7 phone; no music while texting is a definite deal breaker for me.

  • Ipad Keyboard volume controls don't work?

    When I have headphones plugged in to the jack on the keyboard the volume controls don't work. If I plug them in to the jack on the Ipad then the volume controls work. Known bug? Defective unit?
    Any help appreciated.

    The keyboard controls, but nevermind. I found out they're not supposed to work on the aux jack on the back of the keyboard. Guess I should RTFM
    Thanks anyway, everyone!

  • 2G Touch: Music is far too loud. Volume controls don't work.

    My Touch is very new and it looks like there is stuff I don't understand yet.
    When I play my music, any track, it's way too loud and is injurious to hearing.
    I have slid the volume slider all the way to the left. No result. The slider does nothing.
    I have used the volume buttons on the left of the Touch. No effect. Way too loud.
    I have used the Volume Limiter in Settings>Music. It's all the way to the left. No effect.
    Clearly the Touch must not be used to listen to music until I get my volume control working.
    "Reset all settings" has no effect on the volume problem.
    Any Suggestions?

    OMG! Found it. Very unintuitive.
    The Touch volume controls do not work if the 'Pod is sat in the Apple Universal Cradle. I was using the cradle without the USB cable.
    That makes little sense to me.

  • Volume buttons don't work after installing ios 7.0.4

    I have an Iphone 4 (MC603B/A) and after installing IOS 7.0.4 the volume buttons and the mute switch don't work. Also, if I receive a call or a message I don't get any sound.
    There is no sound either if I play a video. At the same time, the alarm does work and the voice in the GPS works also.
    Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
    Thanks

    I have exact the same problem as you! Soon I will go to an Apple Genius Bar. When I got the solution, I will tell you!

  • My earbuds volume control don't work with my iphone, but it does on my ipod?

    I've done everything from blowing in the headphone jack to cleaning it with an q-tip and restoring the iphone. i know my ear buds work since the volume up and down and the play and pause controlls all work with my ipod touch but when i try using it with my iphone the controls still don't work. i'm about to go over to apple and get this replaced. the iphone is pretty much new too. i might've gotten some water inside it when i was putting on my screen protector but it wasnt that much.

    Count me in. I have the "Backup ccould not be completed" error since november.
    Yesterday it worked once right after I restored my iPad while iTunes transfered all the data back to my iPad. So it is definitely not a problem on the iCloud side but on the iPad's Apps side.
    My guess is that it might be just one app's data which blocks iOS from backing up correctly...
    Any ideas?

    The volume controls on my Nano don't work.  How can I repair their operation?

    Read the PDF user manual for a possible solution:  iPod Manuals, search through Apple's Knowledge Base for support Articles and/or iPod Nano Support 

  • Nokia X6 volume controls don't work for music play...

    Hi all
    Just brought a new Nokia X6 for my wife and I have an odd problem.
    I can start the music player from the home screen and skip forward and backwards a track with no problems. But I can't adjust the volume.
    If I start playing music from the home screen and it's too loud or quiet, I have to open the music player itself before I can change the volume.
    This seems very odd to me, and I have googled it and looked all the way through the forums here for the X6 and no one else has mentioned it. Does that mean it's only me having this trouble? Or does everyone else not use the music player from the home screen?
    Also, I noticed that I cant  fast forward and rewind a track from the home screen. If I hold my finger on the Foward button for an extended period of time, the track continues playing as normal and then ether skips to the next one when I take my finger off, or all the player buttons disapear from the home screen when I take my finger off.
    Again, if I do this in the music player itself, the track will fast forward or rewind after a second or two holding the 'button' down. Anyone else tried this?
    Thanks everyone in advance.

    Yes, I realise that, but it only works when you are in the media player. If you are playing music from the home screen, then the volume button does nothing!! Is this how it's supposed to work?
    I have looke right the way through the manual and it doesn't mention playing music from the home screen at all.
    It seems odd to me that Nokia would build a phone expressly for playing music, have music controls on the front screen so that the user would not have to go to the music player to play music, then disable the volume controls on the home screen so the user is forced to go to the music player anyway.

  • Why does my music stop playing when i reply to a message?

    I just updated my iphone 4s to IOS 6.1.1 and im having trouble with it. When im playing music and I get a message, i click on the messaging tab and my music fades out and completely stops. the only way to play it again would be to go back to the music application and press play. before updating, my music would never fade out for a message, only for a call or if i was going to make a video. now its doing it for messages. any ideas how to fix it?

    Ok, I just realised that this only happens if the current page in iBooks has a video on it.  If the page has only text and images, there is no problem.
    I still think it is a bug though. If the video is not running, I don't see why the music player should be stopped. If I choose to start the video on the page, THEN the music player should be stopped.

  • I got my iPhone 4 in July 2010, about 3 months ago it has started being faulty. The home button hardly works and lower volume clicker doesn't work. It loses signal and only comes back when I switch it off and on and it can get laggy can I get it replaced?

    I haven't done a thing genuinely. It didn't stop working after an update or anything, it just started doing this.

    Did you buy AppleCare?  If not, you are out of warranty, so the best you can expect is to be eligible for an out of warranty replacement at your cost.  Take it into an Apple Store and they can tell you if it qualifies or not.

  • Updated to iOS 7 and now car controls don't work

    I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, and now it no longer works properly with my vw golf sound system. I used to be able to plug it in and control it through the touch screen in my car, but now everything is jumbled and the controls don't work. Please help!

    It is the update.  I am having the same problem with my Nissan and all my updated apple products.  It is awful. I wish I did not update the software.

  • My earphones mic and volume buttons don't work ever since the iOS 8.1 update! Please help me. One discussion person says they bought a new pair and THEY don't work either. What do I do? I'm about to have a breakdown!

    I rely heavily on my earphones because well... I'm lazy but they don't work. They work on my friend's iPhone who hasn't updated yet but I've updayed and the mic and volume buttons don't work. Please make a correct update!

    Nope, still same problem. I did an install, didn't work. Then I completely removed my IDT driver, restarted, installed the driver, restarted, same problem.
    When I troubleshoot my audio it always asks me which one to troubleshoot. It only works if I do one of the "Speakers / HP - IDT" but I don't know why it has so many devices listed with the same name.
    Also, after I troubleshoot and I can hear audio, if I go to "Manage audio devices" it still shows that no audio device is installed, which is why the webinars won't work.
