Change default iPod Shuffle Start volume so its Louder

Hi
I use my Shuffle to Run with using my own headphones. This is fine but the default volume on the shuffle is too quiet (I think its on about 70%?)
If I use the apple headphones, they fall out of my ears. If I use mine, its too quiet and I cant turn it up. Is there any way to tell my shuffle via my computer using iTunes to default to a louder volume?
I was thinking about buying one of those volume controls that you can use with your own headphones but as I only listen to podcasts while I run I am happy without controls so long as I can make it play at 100% volume using my own headphones.
Thanks

Sorry, but the answer is NO. Max volume for shuffles sold in EU is lower
than those sold in US and most countries outside the EU...
You CAN, however, adjust the volume of each podcast or all podcasts
in your playlist by selecting them, then doing Get Info>Options...

Ipod shuffle 1GB volume problem?

hello, i have a 1gb ipod shuffle, bought it 3 months back, meaning the 90 day warantee is gone, and now is exactly when its just messed up!!!.
the other day i was using my ipod shuffle and when i tried to put the volume higher, the volume steadily decreased until i couldnt hear anything. i thought that maybe the battery needs a charge so i left it for charge, but ever since its still not working.
its really annoying that something that i bought 3 months ago is already damaged? ive been keeping very good care of it and have also got the apple sock thing. ive tried resetting the ipod, also updating the software but nothing has worked so far.
if anyone could help id be very greatful..
thanks

Here's something to try sunny...
In playing around with mine, I have determined that the problem is somehow linked to the battery level indicator button. When music is playing, it seems that pressing the battery button makes the iPod more susceptible to the volume fading to nothing.
It may just be a coincidence, but there's more.
After the volume fades, the iPod is unresponsive. I've found randomly turning it on and off will eventually get it to work again, for a bit. However, while the iPod is frozen and still switched to on, try pressing the battery button. In my short experience that enabled me to use it again... at least until the whole problem happens again.
If this doesn't make sense let me know and I'll try to explain it better. Or maybe we don't actually have the same issue. Mine's definitely bunk though, but at least I've found how to make it almost usable until it's replaced.
Good luck, and welcome to Apple Discussions!
EDIT:
Hmmm, it seems pressing either forward or backward will also unfreeze the iPod. Man, I hate these intermittent, weird problems.
Let me know if your shuffle is as crazy as this...

I have found an iPod shuffle. I know its serial number. How do I find its owner?

I have found an iPod shuffle and so know the serial number. How do I find its owner?

I found an Ipod Shuffle and I called Apple Support desk to return it to the rightfull owner. I offered them to send my contact details to the owner. And then the owner can contact me if he likes. They refused to do this as it is a privacy issue. They advised me to bring it to the local police who can send the request to a special e-mail address of Apple. But I know that normally the police won't bother. And Apple will like this probably, as the previous owner will buy a new Apple device.

Change default scheduled defrag start times on Server 2012

I think it's great that by default Server 2012 is going to defrag all my drives on a weekly basis. But how can I access the scheduling portion? Is it possible to change start times, or give a window that it can start in? I have some drives
where the data on them is only not used during certain hours, so it would make the most sense to have it start the defrag during that window.

Hi,

Don`t find screenlock controls neither.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Cannot Download Some songs to the iPod Shuffle

I just bought a new iPod Shuffle. I have iTunes 7.0. I cannot download, or sync, or Autofill, or drag certain songs to the shuffle. I get error messages like: "Some songs cannot be copied to the device because 'the song' cannot be played on that device". So far all these songs are *.aif files. I tried converting it to AIFF but that didnt work either.
I have a regular 20G IPOD and I was able to download these songs to it. Someone please help!!!!

Thank you very much Michael. I see that in the users guide. I am dumbfounded!! AIFF is an Apple fomatted file!! How is it that an Apple device (iPod Shuffle) doesn't support its own file formats!??! OMG!! Somebody please tell me I am not crazy.
I fixed the problem by ripping the song as an MP3 file. Apparently this Apple device supports MP3 files, but not their own AIFF propietary file formats!

Can i alter the default start volume of Ipod shuffle?

I would love the ipod shuffles i am using in a show to have a higher (maximum) starting volume. The default starting volume is pretty low.
is this possible?
I have seen various things online that make me think it is possible on a windows machine - but i am on a macbook air.
any ideas?

Yeah - I tried that - it didnt really help.
you can alter the volume on windows machines by doing the following (i think) -
"On your shuffle there is a file called
<driveletter>:\iPod_Control\Device\ExtendedSysInfoXml
open the file with notepad or a text editor search for a string:
MinVolumeLevel set the integer number to 16... that should do the trick"
is there not a wayof doing that on a mac?

IPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.

iPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast. What can be done?

Some other iPods (that are not shuffles) have an onboard setting to change the playback speed for some types of iTunes media, such as audiobooks. But a shuffle has no screen, to change such settings.
First, do this to reset the shuffle, if you have not already
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. The shuffle will be like it was when new, so this problem should be fixed.

IPod Shuffle: How to set the maximum volume limit

How do I get back to the volume default I set at the onset of using my shuffle?
I have speakers in my Ski Helmet and would now like to turn up the volume louder than I have currently set for my in ear earpods.
Any help is appreciated.

If you're talking about the Maximium Volume Limit:
Setting the Maximum Volume Limit
You can set a limit for the maximum volume on iPod shuffle. You can also set a
password in iTunes to prevent this setting from being changed by someone else.
If you’ve set a volume limit on iPod shuffle, the status light blinks orange three times if
you try to increase the volume beyond the limit.
To set the maximum volume limit for iPod shuffle:
1 Set iPod shuffle to the desired maximum volume.
2 Connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
3 In iTunes, select iPod shuffle in the Source pane.
4 Click the Settings tab.
5 Select “Limit maximum volume.”
6 Drag the slider to the desired maximum volume.
The initial slider setting shows the volume the iPod shuffle was set to when you
selected the “Limit maximum volume” checkbox.
7 To require a password to change this setting, click the lock and enter a password.
If you set a password, you must enter it before you can change or remove the
maximum volume limit.
Note: The volume level may vary if you use different earphones or headphones.
To remove the maximum volume limit:
1 Connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod shuffle in the Source pane.
3 Click the Settings tab.
4 Deselect “Limit maximum volume.”
Enter the password, if required.
Note: If you forget the password, you can restore iPod shuffle. See “Updating and
Restoring iPod shuffle Software” on page 26 for more information.

When I play my Ipod shuffle 3rd gen there's a moment when I start hearing interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.

My Ipod shuffle 3rd gen starts playing songs with some kind of interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down. First I thought it was the earphones, but I exchanged them for newer ones and so far its the same

You may want to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If it's a software or data corruption glitch, the Restore should fix it. After the Restore, reload or resync your songs, and try it again. As a test, you may want to initially select a small number of songs to put back on the shuffle.
