Grey Volume Bar in Track Info

On my real instruments, the volum bar that is just below INPUT in side the Track Info Window is greyed out and does not adjust. It is frozen. It is this way on every real instrument.
I have searched this forum, but have not found a solution to this problem.

He's probably got a slightly different setup then. I just checked, to be certain, and the slider is disabled when I set my system to Line-in.
Control the level from System prefs, not GB.

My I pod will not display volume bar or track time.

I have an Ipod Nano, but all of a sudden it quit showing the volume bar and track times of my songs. In place of the track times are 5 dots going across the bottom of the screen. Does anyone know what is going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To Michal,
It's not a problem!
It's the way it is supposed to work!
See the last paragraph on page 24 in the manual:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPodnano_FeaturesGuide.pdf
"Depending on what type of audio you’re listening to, you can press the Center button repeatedly from the Now Playing screen to get to other information and options, such as the rating screen for songs and audiobooks, album art, podcast information, reading speed, and more. Click the Menu button to return to the previous screen. "

Volume slider in track info grays out with audio interface

I'm using a Presonus Inspire interface for mic and guitar. But in new tracks, the volume slider in track info grays out when I plug it in. Prefs recognizes the interface and I set audio in and out on Inspire. Signal comes through the headphones, but no signal in GB because the volume slider in track info is all the way to the left and grayed out.
Ideas?
Thanks!
Jim

HELP!! Volume slider dimmed in track info--using Shure 8900W mic + iMic

After much back and forth at the Apple Retail store, I was talked into buying a Shure 8900W microphone plus a Griffin iMic for recording vocals in GB3. I'm on a MacBook Pro running Tiger (10.4.7).
I've done all the right stuff--in both system preferences and GB preferences the iMic is recognized and selected. I know GB recognizes and hears the mic because I see the feedback in the track, but the sound isn't coming out.
I've noticed that the volume slider in track info is dimmed, and I can't seem to do anything to change that. Is that the problem? Can I do anything short of buying a whole new mic?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is the monitor (in the Track Info) switched on or off? Have you checked what driver is being used for audio output (in the GB prefs)? If you can confirm that sound is being picked up/recorded by the mic (either by seeing the green/orange/red level monitor respond to input, or by seeing recorded regions with audio waveforms displayed), then it should be some relatively simple setting somewhere that's keeping you from hearing stuff.
Sound is definitely being picked up/recorded by the mic. I do see the monitor responding to input, and the waveforms are registering sound when I use the mic. I just can't find the relatively simple setting that is keeping me from hearing stuff.
Interestingly, after I posted this help message, I connected my mic and iMic to my PowerBook and was able to easily record and playback in GB. Does this issue have something to do with the Intel transition?
Thanks for all your feedback.

Seeing only album art - no volume bar or song titles

One day this week my iPod started to display the album art in full screen format. It no longer displays the artist, title, and volume bar along with the "smaller size" album art. Even if the album art isn't available -- I just get a blank box with no volume bar or song info. Does anyone know how I get back to normal?
(PS - I tried unchecking "display album artwork" in the user preferences, but that only resulted in me getting blank boxes -- still no volume bar or song info)

Try hitting select (the middle button) about five times from the Now Playing screen. If that doesn't work, you'll have to reset, which is no big deal.

I don’t hear sound from a Real Instrument
Some conditions may cause you not to hear the sound when you sing into a microphone or play a musical instrument connected to a Real Instrument track.
If you don't hear sound from a Real Instrument, try the following:
Make sure your microphone or instrument is connected to your computer, is turned on, and is working.
Make sure the correct Real Instrument track is selected.
Make sure that the track is not muted, and that no other tracks are soloed.
Open the Track Info pane and check that the correct input channel and input format are selected for the instrument. Make sure that input monitoring is turned on for the track.
Make sure the volume slider for the track is not all the way to the left.
Make sure the output volume for your computer’s speaker, or the external speakers you are using, is set high enough to hear the sound from the instrument.

Song volume drops when I edit track info

Just ran into a strange hiccup.
I recorded a song, saved it as an AAC audio file, dragged it into iTunes.
The song plays just fine in iTunes but obviously the track info is incomplete -- the name is the name of the file I saved and there is no artist, no album, no artwork, bla bla bla. So I did the "Get Info" thing and made the needed edits.
But -- and now it gets weird -- when I play the song with more info the volume is much diminished.
I can increase the volume under Options in Get Info but something ain't right.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I'm running iTunes 11.4 (18) on an iMac with OS X 10.9.4

Hello Andy, You're not talking to Apple here, this is a user-to-user forum.
I don't really understand your issue....do you mean the track number in the column Track# disappears, the x of y thing?

Can't edit track info on some tracks...

I've had this issue since iTunes 7.5, now I'm using 7.6.
Lately I've been having problems when trying to edit track info in iTunes. Some tracks info field is greyed out and I therefore I can't make any changes to these tracks. Often it's tracks from an album where the other tracks are fully editable. When I choose show info in Finder on these specific tracks, only "System" has read and write access to the file. If I try to add myself (admin) Finder crashes and restarts. I've tried to change ID3 tags in iTunes but I'm told that the file is protected. I've also tried to change ID3 tags in MP3 Rage but to no help, it doesn't change anything in iTunes.
I'm not really sure if this is a problem due to my OS 10.5 rather than iTunes, since I'm having the same issues with other kind of files e.g. pictures imported from my digi cam. When trying to rotate a picture in picture wiever and saving it, I'm told that I don't have the necessary permissions. And then again if I try to give myself read and write access Finder crashes.
I've tried to repair disk permissions but are told that no repairs are necessary.
All n all my Mac has been behaving strangely since upgrading to 10.5 (and now 10.5.1). Besides the issues described above, I'm experiencing "strange" things, such as volumes not being mounted, program and document icons changing, when trying to move a file (within folders on my internal drive) it's being copied instead of moved, and so on...
I'mreally desperate for a little help, as I haven't got a clue about what's going on.
TIA for any input.

Ok just randomly solved this problem.I checked the iPhone and found the manually manage the music was unchecked. Checking this fixes things, but everytime I plug my iPhone into the computer it unchecks it again. Yet another reason NOT to upgrade to iTunes 11.

Missing Volume Bar

Hi I have a new nano and after a few days use I have lost the volume bar and the song time in minutes and seconds it just appears as a line of dots can anyone tell me if I can get it back. Thanks

Hi Jill: What you have described is one of the views you can get when listening to the iPod. When a track is playing, you can see elapsed time, album art or rating. The line of dots is the rating (I bet they greyed out meaning no rating set). It may help if you restore you Nano and then re-sync with iTunes. Here's how.... 5R's

My iPhone 4s no longer has sound for any of the applications but it does have sound for phone functions. Where is the setting for app sound? I have gone to the multitask screen and the volume bar is empty.

I recently found my phone outside in light rain (it had been there about 20 minutes). It had some glitches at first, however after letting it rest overnight it seemed to mostly recover. The one problem I am having is that I no longer have sound for any of my applications. I do have sound for phone fuctions, and I am able to use the speaker for phone functions.
When I am in my applications, including music/videos, the only way I can hear is if I use my earbuds. I am able to make a video and it will record sound just fine.
When I go to the multitask screen, the volume bar is empty and I cannot adjust it using the side buttons (even though in settings I have that feature activated). I completely reset all of my settings tonight and that did not make a difference.
Is there a setting I am missing, or am I just SOL? I am trying to avoid having to get a whole new phone but it is very frustrating to not have sound with my applications.

Adjust voice and instrument volumes in single track

Hi, I am relatively new to Garageband and have never really worked with mastering vocal tracks before. I had an old cassette tape that my father had done some recordings on. They were done in a studio and are vocals with organ accompanyment. I wanted to break the cassette down into tracks and put it on YouTube.
I plugged my cassette player's headphones jack into the audio-in port on my Macbook and recorded one long 20 minute track in. I figured out how to adjust the Noise Gate and AUGraphic EQ to reduce most of the static from the transfer and original cassette. The only problem that remains is that when the track was originally recorded, the organ is very loud at some points and drowns out the vocals.
Does anyone know if there is any way to apply filters or mess with the EQ on a single track to lower the volume of the organ or raise the volume of the vocals?
Any assitance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I don't think there's much of a chance since probably the organ and the voice occupy similar frequency bands. What you can do is pull up the graphic eq on the track (go to the track info pane and add that effect in one of the free slots) and try the different frequency bands to see whether raising or lowering one or several of them makes the balance better. But I guess it will just make the whole mix sound worse.

Questions about ringtones, skipping volume bar, more...

1) Both on my iPod touch and iPhone 3G the volume bar skips around the screen. I have had multiple products of the same SKU and they all have the same problem. If you have a response, include the number in your post.
2) My iTunes credit was reduced from 6.48 to 1.00
3) I bought a music video that never downloaded
4) Can I recover ringtones and music videos off my old computer that was stolen?
5) Keyboard lag. What's up with that?
6) Why does my mother's iFwn 1st gen have better picture quality than my iFwn 3G?
7) Only one of the speakers works. Unless the other is a mic
8) My mothers iFwn has benn through 2 computers now but it still has crashing problems. It has been through multiple restores where she has lost all her pictures and contacts. This is not easy for her, what the **** do I have to say to the Apple store employees to get her iPhone replaced?

1) Not sure what you mean. Are you turning the iphone on it's side? This will change to landscape view. You can see where the volume bar should be in the manual.
2) Did you not buy something?
3) Contact itunes support, they are very helpful. The link is on your receipt.
4) If the missing purchases are on you iphone you can attach iphone to an authorized itunes and hut File>Transfer purchases.
5) Many have reported this. Do you have 2.1 software update?
6) ?
7) Iphone has only one speaker. You can see this on page 15 "basics" of the manual.
8) Without using foul language, explain what is happening. Many people have had their iphones replaced for similar reasons.

Startup screen with apple logo and grey loading bar, then unexpectedly shuts down

Hey, I have a MacBook Pro from 2010 I believe with iOS Maverick installed. (MacKeeper is also on there, which I just found out is apparently malware)
So three days ago I was watching Netflix, the image froze, but the audio kept going. Figured my internet was slow, so I waited a little, nothing happened. pressed escape to leave the full screen mode, but nothing happened. None of the keys would do anything, not even the sound or brightness keys. So I did a force shut down by holding down the power button.
I waited a little, then decided to turn it back on. Start up sound played, white screen with grey apple logo and loading gear appeared together with a grey loading bar. I figured that this meant it had to repair something. But after about a minute or two it just went to a black screen/ shut down. I left it off for a day, tried it again, same thing. Next day I tried booting it up while holding the shift key to do the safe boot (I knew it wouldn't work since I already had the grey loading bar anyways), same thing happened.
Any suggestions? (note: I thought I had posted this yesterday, but apparently I didn't even register as a user, weird. So if this gets posted twice, I apologize)

If your disk cannot be repaired, your only options are to call the disk dead and order a new one or to try and erase and reformat the disk and try to install a system on it.
The latter is just something you can try - I doubt that it will work.
Boot into your Recovery partition once again and select Disk Utility. You should see your boot volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") in the left column of disks. Select the Erase tab and format the disk using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". If the disk will format, then you can go back to the main Recovery screen and try installing OS X.
If that doesn't work - and you'll probably know when trying to format the drive - you'll need a new drive.

'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone is selected for output. Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure. Ideas????

'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone (3G) is selected for output. Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure. Ideas????

Thank you for the replies.
Appearane of 'Music' functions (I>> > II <<I, plus volume slider) on the lock/log in screen (when first turning on the iPhone) thus far seems without pattern, i.e. regardless of which if any applications are up in the background, and indeed even when all have been quit.
All visual aspects of 'Music' appear normal after launch including the title scroll across the top in vertical mode. However, while pressing play (>) converts the play (>) icon to pause (II), selected song does not play and the elapsed time bar (upper end between the track count and the repeat/shuffle icons) remains stationary at 0:00 or at any point to which it is dragged. When using home sharing this same problem persists regardless of what output is selected.
Hope that may prompt a thought somewhere.
