Why did the recent iOS 6 update disable our ability to control the volume in FaceTime?

So my girlfriend and I spend a lot of time using facetime everyday. We normally use headphones or earbuds because she wants privacy to speak with me. The recent update in facetime has been permanently set so the volume in facetime is loud.. So now it hurts our ears to use headphones. Why was disabling a great feature such as turning the volume down taken away? Is there away to downgrade to a previous iOS update?

I am having this issue as well. I'd prefer for my conversations to be more private. Also, the noise gate is far too sensitive, I can see my friends lips move, they are speaking at a reasonable level, but their words are cut off because they are below the threshold which Apple has set. I'd honestly prefer to hear backgound noise.
As far as the volume control issue, this is just silly. Why is it that Apple should be the dictator of what is an acceptible volume level for conversations? I'm not going to wear headphones every time I use facetime (anyways, I did try it once and the volume was absolutely too loud. No, I'm not going to buy new headphones with volume control, just for facetime).

  • Why did the recent ios 7.0.4 update use up all my storage (over 9 GB)?  I have no storage for music and limit apps.

    Why did the recent update to ios 7.0.4 use up all my storage (over 9 GB)?  I have no storage for music and apps.  There is over 9GB designated to "other" under usage now.  I only have 16 GB total.

    Text, the best way is to take screen shots, or if you can forward them to your email. Your notes are either saved by your email or with icoud. They can help you find out where they are saved at.
    The resest is easy. I would say it best to also save your photos on your computer as well as a extra back up so you can also see them. Depending if you have Mac use Iphoto and import all photos, Windows use I am drawing a blank, but you can go to your start menue and then your phone will show up as a removable device and then left click and transfer photos and videos.
    After that you will be set. But it will take a bit to get all of your text taken care of thought.
    Also if you have non-programed email address like Roadrunner ect. You will need the incomming and out going server information SMTP ect.

    The problem is that the Add-ons Manager tab when opened the first time, is on "Get Add-ons" section and that must be downloaded from the Add-ons server which might be overburdened.

  • HT4623 Why did the update of my phone to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

    Why did the update of my iphone4 to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

    Apple is no longer supporting YouTube with a native application starting with iOS 6.0.  The "old" YouTube application was automatically removed when you upgraded, and it no longer exists in the new iOS.  There are however, numerous third-party apps in the App Store which will allow you to view YouTube, including one from Google, which is the parent company for YouTube.  Passbook is a new application to iOS 6.0 and is not at all related to YouTube.

  • HT204390 Before the recent iOS 7 update I could get closed captioning on amazon prime movies, now it's not possible even the ones that have CC available ..  I've turned in on in setting on my iPad mini but it doesn't work. Netflix is no problem.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • HT2589 Why did the App store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Keynote and Numbers for my Ipad and I want to download them on my Mac Book Pro and they aren't in the purchases tab.

    Why did the app store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my Ipad and want to download them onto my Mac Book and they aren't in the purchases tab.  I thought I would try clicking on the buy button for Pages, thinking, it would say I already purchased this app, but it didn't.  Where are all my purchases?  I used the same Apple ID I use for all my Apple devices.  Help!  I really don't want to buy them all again.

    The version of Pages, Keynote and Numbers for the Mac will be different than the iOS version and will require a separate purchase.

  • Why did the icons under my 'Layer' tab change appearance?

    The above image shows a layer of curves with a masks.
    Why did the mask change its appearance? Normally it's a blank square.
    Even the links have changed (I believe they were thinner previously).
    I might've pressed something and I don't know how to go back. I haven't
    updated anything yet, so it shouldn't be because it's a newer version of
    Photoshop.

    Here's how it looks. I'll try adjusting something...but I never touched any
    of the settings

  • Why did the trace NOT show the other switches in between?

    I have a PC that is connected to a switch (A) in a network. Switch A has many switches in between and connects to another switch B. When I did a trace to the server, the last switch I see in the result is switch B. Also, when I checked to which port of switch B that the server was connected, It showed as Po1. When I did a show cdp neighbor for the interfaces for the interfaces involved inthe bundle, I get a switch and then another. Why did the trace NOT show the other switches in between? Why did I get an arp on Switch B? Could some one explain?

    It's hard to tell, but if you have L2 switches, the addresses on those L2 switches are for management purposes only and you won't see a response from a trace. The only time you'll see a response is when the packet is routed between devices and not switched. You'll get an arp request/response across a single vlan. If you have vlan 10 across 10 switches, all 10 switches will see an arp request because they're broadcasted throughout the whole vlan.

  • Why did the contents of my states panel disappear?

    Why did the content of my States Panel disappear?

    Hello!
    I can recommend you do the following:
    1/ Quit Mail completely via the Mail-menu
    2/ Open the Finder and find the go-menu near the top left corner of your computer display (not the Finder-window) Choose go to folder.
    Copy-paste the following line into the field that appears, including the ~ :
    ~/library/mail/v2/maildata/
    3/ Move all files that start with "envelope" and "ExternalUpdate" to the trash. Don't empty the trash in case we need to restore these files (which is not likely, but still)
    4/ Restart OS X. Open Mail. Now it will re-import your existing mail. Is your issue solved after this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Did you follow the instructions in the message and contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support. If Apple have asked you to contact them, then the issue can only be resolved by them.

    First is your volume turned up and not muted?
    Also check system preferences/sound/sound effects, make sure play sound effects thru internal speakers is checked, make sure alert volume is turned up (not all the way down), Play user sound effects id checked.
