Dangerous iPhone headphone volume bug

I've discovered a potentially dangerous bug with the volume in IOS7.1 on my iPhone 5S
If I engage the volume limit (or the EU limit), this causes the volume to jump to max whenever I play a new track or skip a track in Music. This leads to very dramatic jumps in playback level.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Try killing and re-starting the Music app, or simply Reset your iPhone, or maybe a full Restore.

Iphone Ringtone Volume BUG

I have a problem with my iPhone 3G.
I've set the maximum volume for my ringtone (guitar which is a default ringtone from Apple) and when i SHUT DOWN the iphone and turn up i see that the Volume lost my setting and come back to the default value ...
Please help me .. is a bug ?

Similar problem here - but my ringer volume changes when I change the volume of music.
Somebody else pointed out that the position of the volume slider changes but the actual volume does not (ie: it shows it's only at 50% when it's really at 100%) which does seem to be the case.

My iPhone only has "headphone" volume, no "speaker" volume.How do I fix this so I can hear phone calls?

The phone may be stuck in headset mode. Rapidly plug and unplug a headset 10x to free up the switch inside the jack.

IPhone headphones suddenly at max volume

Twice within a very recent timeframe, my iPhone's headphone volume has suddenly gone to maximum (I am not entirely sure if it was gradiant or all at once, but it was quite unpleasant, as you might imagine.) In both cases, the screen was turned off when it happened. I am using the stock earbuds with inline volume control, running 5.0.1.
I will provide more details as I continue to note the circumstances under which it happens. Has anyone experienced this? Any way to fix it?

It is definitely gradual, and appears to happen when the music player is open (though this might just because I usually have it open when I'm listening to music.) The volume will gradually increase to maximum. Using the side volume control buttons can lower the volume but it will keep increasing until maximum, at which point I generally turn on the screen and lower it manually using the screen.
No one else has experienced this?

Headphone volume too loud in Facetime calls - iPad Mini Retina 7.1.1

Hi,
I have an iPad Mini Retina Space grey 32GB Wifi version updated to the newest iOS 7.1.1.
I've noticed that the headphone volume during Facetime calls is always extremely loud even on lowest volume setting and there's no way to lower the volume further down. It's independent of the person I call, and the same problem appears in both in Facetime video and Facetime audio calls.
The bug only appears in the Facetime app and only after inserting the headphones and (not noticable when using the speaker). Setting a volume limit in Settings doesn't affect this loud volume during Facetime calls. I've tried 3 different headphones and I've also done a full reset of the iPad and setting up a completely new iCloud account.
I also have an iPad Mini (1st gen) and an iPhone 4 and I don't experience this bug on those devices.
Have anyone experienced the same bug? Any solution?

pandora? once I got used to it, it bacame second nature to simple reach over and toggle the hotspot off and on. not great if you have the constant need, but if you have the constant need, it wouldnt be shutting down in the first place.
If this is a big issue for you, and there is no persistant wifi available, you might think about a standalone portable hotspot. Pretty much every carrier in the US has one they would be happy to sell you, along with a data plan.
(look on e bay for a used one )

Iphone 4 volume buttons not working

iphone 4 volume and mute buttons not working, checked all settings they are all fine and when headphones in it works??? When I take out headphones the volum buttons do not work, when phone rings or text receives only vibrates???? HELP!!!!

This could be due to some debris or dirt inside the headphones jack that makes the iPhone think that the headphones are connected even when they are not.
Try to see if you can clean the jack being very careful, with canned air as sold in electronics store. Some people have been successful by introducing and withdrawing the headphones jack several times in a row to displace whatever is in there if it is lodged in.
Avoid introducing anything else like a pointed object. You could damage the jack.
If all of this does not work, I would try first resetting the phone by holding the home button and the power button together for about 15 seconds or until the whilte apple appears, then waiting until the phone resets. If the problem continues after this, take it to an Apple Store to see what they believe should be done.

Headphones volume controller not working on new macbook pro

Hello,
I recently purchased a new macbook pro (15" late 2013) and just noticed that when plugging my headphones (beats solo HD), the volume controller in the headphones doesn't change the volume of the laptop. The headphone controller works fine on my iphone, and on my older macbook pro (2010, running on mavericks too). I checked the Sound settings under System Preferences, and under the Input tab, the new macbook doesn't recognize the headphone microphone either, which my old macbook pro still does. In terms of sound, the headphones work well, and under the Output tab, the Headphones appear, as normal. The sound can also be adjusted using the keyboard keys and the volume adjust on screen, but not with the headphones volume controller, which seems odd to me.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks for your time!
Melissa

Hi,
I also noticed this... when I use my old earphones (the white Apple ones that come with the iphone) on my new laptop, everything works fine, including the microphone, volume control, skipping songs... etc. But my other headphones are not recognised at all, just as audio output and nothing else.
My old macbook, however, still fully recognizes both my old earphones and my "troublesome" Beats headphones, even after the latest system update, as does my iphone
So I still don't know what is happening.
Just telling you this so that you make 100% sure your earphones are faulty before discarding them!

My IPhone's volume is not working. I have checked and tried everything. When I use my headset I can hear when phone rings or receive text msg when I pull the jack out I have no sound on anything

I had this problem with my 4s a couple of times when I'd taken the headphones out and it hasn't registered it. My solution was easy, all I had to do was turn the phone off and then on again.
Although I'm sure you've already tried this its a sometimes forgotten and very easy solution to a lot of problems. I hope you find out what's wrong.

Can't hear my caller after I remove my iphone headphones

Has anyone else had this problem?
you are listening to your music using th iphone headphones, then you remove your headphones from the iphone, when you get a call you can't hear the caller and they can't hear you. I discovered that the only way to fix this problem is to re-insert the headphone and click the mute button on the headphone! It seems that when you use the headphones and click mute and then remove your headphones it remains stuck on mute, not allowing you to be heard on an outgoing or incoming call!!!!!
What's up with that this? is my second iphone and it has happened to both my phones. It's a good thing I had my headphones with me, otherwise my phone would be useless or worse yet if it was an emergency I would not be able to call 911!

That is the solution so far other than a restore.
FWIW It worked with a Belkin audio cord as well. I tried it a few times in and out with no luck.
Here's what worked for me:
1. Start ipod and pause on a song.
2. Insert cord or headset.
3. Hit play.
4. Hit Pause.
5. Remove cord or headset.
6. Hit play....
After (6) it didn't do much but then I noticed the volume slider grab a life of its own. When it settled down... all was working again.
What a pain in the rear.
Apple if you reading this fix it. I happened to get stuck at work after listening to music the night before... when I tried to make a call, guess what. All day without audio.
Brutal!

IPhone 4s volume

My volume buttons only show headphone volume and headphones are not plugged in. How do I get my external volume back?

Hi Dave,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone is acting like headphones are connected when they aren't. The article linked below provides the possible resolutions for the issue you described.
iOS: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers

I hope this helps.

IPhone headphones issue

I can't hear people when calling without using the iPhone headphones. I have tried other suggestions - powering the unit off (both buttons); I have taken the headphone jack out and put it back in several times. When I have the headphones out and increase/decrease the volume button, I don't see the "(headphones)" next to the ringer or volume indicator. Not sure what else to do at this point? Suggestions?

Hi Charles,
Is the iPhone updated to the latest version of iPhone software(currently 2.2.1)? If not, update the iPhone as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744
If the iPhone is already updated, try restoring it. The article I linked above will also walk you through restoring the iPhone.

My iphone headphones don't work in my ipad mini

I can't seem to get music to play through my iphone headphones when they are plugged into my ipad mini? Any suggestions?

Plug them all the way in, firmly push the plug until it is fully seated.
If you have a case, make sure it's not interfering with the plug.

IPhone headphones no longer control iTunes after 10.5.6 update

I just purchased my new MacBook Pro yesterday; happy to find out I could use the "clicker" on my iPhone headphones to control my iTunes. The machine came stocked with a version of Leopard before 10.5.6, so The Updater prompted me to update. After the update I was very disappointed to find out that my "clicker" no longer was capable of controlling my iTunes.
Has anyone else noticed this anomaly?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ..
According to VersionTracker, Clicker operating system requirements are:
Operating System Requirements:
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
Mac OS X 10.3.9
Mac OS X 10.3

Apparently not compatible with Leopard yet.

ALSA - Master volume no longer having an effect on headphone volume

I use ALSA and have both my 'front' (speakers) and 'headphone' audio volume set to max. Then I control the two by adjusting the master volume.
Since my last system update this worked fine however now when I change the master volume it only affects the sound coming from my speakers and my headphones are constantly at max unless I specifically change the headphone volume in 'alsamixer'. This is inconvenient since I have the master volume controlled by hotkeys.
I know I can work around this and hotkey my controls to change both the master and headphone volumes but this leaves room for things getting out of sync. Is there a way to revert back to the old method?

Hi-
"Essentially" a clone and a clone are not the same. There are alot of things that don't get copied when you simply drag folders. Pathways to aliases are one of them.
Use SuperDuper! (the best IMHO) or Carbon Copy Cloner to get real bootable clones of your system and files.
