HT1481 My ipod's sound quality has changed and its sound's very low. How should I fix it?

Dear sir,
My ipod once got formatted. Now I hear low sound from my ipod.

First, make sure your headphones are working properly. You can try them with another device, or try a different set with your shuffle.
If the headphones are fine, go to the shuffle's Settings or Summary screen in iTunes. It's the screen that appears when you select the shuffle in iTunes. There is a Limit maximum volume setting there. Make sure that slider bar did not get set to a low volume.
If that does not help, you can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes. The Restore button is on the Settings or Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If the cause is related to a problem with software or settings, the Restore should fix it.
If that does not help either, there may be a hardware-related problem on your shuffle.

Have you disabled your firewall/internet security/pop-up blockers.. any of the various softwares that keep you from doing anything?
Are you trying to download the itunes software or songs from the itunes music store? If you are trying to download the software, the url is:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If your browser can't find it you probably have some software installed on your computer blocking the site. or a virus...

Sound quality has declined in ios8 & yosomite

Just swithched to ios8 & yosomite and I feel that the way it processes music has dramatically deteriated. Music really sounds thin and anemic no matter the genre. Older ios & operating systems--firmware?--played music bettter. Now that most of my music is in the cloud I do not use my ipod that often. Now I'm being forced to use my ipod. (i'm presently listening to my macbook and I am having the same issues. So I'm certain its the new sofware/firmware at fault. It is not the hardware.)
Any idea if Apple intends to address the sound quality issues in new updated firmware?

Hi there, I have the same issue with FaceTime an ios6. When using it with iPhone 4 and 4s, the sound quality has decreased when compared to ios5. Background white noise is now reduced but low volume sounds (such as sights and whispers) are cut out too.
This is qualitatively not an improvement, and much of the warmth of former talks using FaceTime is now gone.
I do really hope there will be an answer from apple's side soon.
Cheers

My iTunes radio player sound quality has degraded, what happened?

My iTunes radio player sound quality has degraded, what happened?
The other day I was checking out radio stations in iTunes, after I tuned to one of them odd thigs happened, i just moved on. Now my iTunes radio sounds like i am listeneing through a box or can on all stations.
Can anyone help?

It sounds like you blew out the paper cone that delivers the sound from the speaker. Depending on how much pressure you used to blow out would determine if the speakers are gone. From the sounds of it and your comment about it happened right after you blew air into the speakers tell me that is what happened. The speakers in an laptop are small and somewhat fragile. The edges of the paper vibrate when it receives the sound and after some passage of time they get weak and if you blew air directily on them, poof they're gone.

Ok, if reinstalling iTunes as suggested above does not resolve the issue of iTunes recognising the iPad then try this -
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are no faulty.
Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
As for making your new laptop your 'home computer' follow these instructions -
1. Without connecting your iPad to your computer -
A) Install iTunes / make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed.
B) Go to the Store tab and click on "Authorise This Computer".
C) Go to Edit, click on Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and click on Devices. Put a check mark in the box next to "Prevent iPods/iPhones/iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK and close iTunes.
2. Connect your iPad to your computer -
A) Start iTunes (it will not start automatically because of the action at 1(C) above).
B) Right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select "Transfer purchases".
C) When the transfer has completed, right click on your iPad again and select "Backup".
D) When the backup has completed, left click on your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and put a check mark in the box next to "Sync Apps", and then click on "Apply" (bottom right).
E) Unless you want to always do a manual sync (as I do), go back to Edit, Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and uncheck the box next to "Prevent your iPod.....".
F) Finally, on your iPad, check that everything is syncing properly. If not, go back to iTunes and check all settings.
NB You should not lose any apps. However, any 'purchased' missing apps can be downloaded again FOC. As with updates, this must be done with the Apple ID under which they were originally 'purchased'.

Hi jvito2869,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps you can try if your audio is out of sync with the video you rented:

If your rental has already expired and you were not able to resolve the issue, you can report it to the iTunes Store as described here:

I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac. Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before. I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings.

Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before.
I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings. I have also used Ethernet on its own but still get the same sound problems.
I would love to turn itunes sound off as you used to be able to do, but this I believe can't be done.
Has anyone else been having the same types of problem, and better still has anyone got the answer?

When the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is connected by Ethernet, you will find an option in the AirPort Utility, labeled: Enable AirTunes over Ethernet on the Music pane. Just select this option to allow streaming iTunes via the AirPort's Ethernet port. You should also be able to disable the AX's wireless so that it shouldn't interfere with the nearby TC.

Hello Nicolettep,
It sounds like you are getting prompted to back up your device but you are unable to join your updated Wi-Fi setup. I recommend the troubleshooting from this article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on
Restart your iOS device.
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

To change the iCloud account on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone. When you delete the account you will be given the option to either keep or delete the iCloud data from your phone. This also, only deletes the account and the iCloud data from your phone, not from iCloud. Your husband's phone won't be effected by this. Then, to create a separate account, sign back in with a different Apple ID (you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes).
If you have any photo stream photos that you want to keep on the phone, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account.
If you're sharing the same ID for iMessage and FaceTime you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls. To prevent this, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your new iCloud ID. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

How can I change the account name in iCloud. My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

How can I change the account name in iCloud. My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

My email address has changed and when I try to play purchased songs it asks me to authorize another computer under the old email address. How do I play the music that I have purchased? My account is current with the new email address.

My email address has changed and when I try to play purchased songs it asks me to authorize another computer under the old email address. How do I play the music that I have purchased? My account is current with the new email address.

You may have already done this, but try de-authorizing your computer (through the iTunes:Store menu) and then re-authorizing it.

Why am I being told my email address has changed and need to change it for my apple id to work?

Not just iTunes store, but every day or so, when I'm trying to check for updated apps in iTunes, or download something on iPhone or update OS X software via App Store, I'm told that my email address has changed and I need to update it before I can download tunes from iTunes.
I then get redirected to a page where my apple id is shown (my email address), the address field is blank and a couple of password fields with ****** in them.
I put my email address (apple id) back in and all is well.
Why is it being reset all the time?
I don't have another apple id with the same address, but I do have a lot of devices using my one apple id:
A Mac (Lion latest)
iPhone 4S (iOS5 latest)
iPad 1 (iOS5 latest)
iTunes on XP (latest iTunes)
iPhone 3G (iPhone OS 3 - yea, really ancient)
Apple TV 1 (latest)
Wondering if one of these could be causing a reset.

this can happen when the billing address in your appleid info is not EXACTLY the same as your bank details, depending of the bank (see if you right "st" instead "street" maybe)
check out this article:

My safari preferences/ security screen has changed and no longer addresses cookies. There is now a Preferences/Privacy screen that allows one to delete cookies, although it is harder to do than the older security screen. Was this an update?

My Safari Preferences/Security screen has changed and no longer addresses cookies. Rather, there is a new Preferences/Privacy screen that allows you to manipulate cookies, but it is not as easy to use as when cookies were on the security screen. Was this an update? Has this change affected anyone else? This is strange, because Safari Help still states cookies are manipulated on the Security screen, even though the screen has changed and no longer addresses cookies.

Presuming you're referring to Safari 5.1, yes, it's moved, but I don't see it as being harder. Now you can clear all privacy-related items - cookies, cache and history - with one button, the "Remove All Website Data" button. If you want to work with individual cookies, it's still just one button, the "Details" button. So no, I don't see it as being more difficult.
Regards.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
