IPhone Apple dock auto max volume on docking

Hello,
First time posting here, just want to see if anyone gets this issue? I've got the official universal apple dock which was cool for my 3GS.
However, I've upgraded to the iphone 4 recently, and when plugging in the phone to the dock, it auto max's my volume as you can see it turn full bars. This is fine I guess, however, when undocking it, the speaker functions on games/ipod etc is left on max rather than the volume I normally set it at which is 50%.
How can I fix this issue? Thanks.
Ed

Note that the dock audio jack is labeled "line out". The signal out of line out remains at a constant level, regardless of the current setting of the volume control. Volume is controlled by the external amplifier or speaker controls.

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?

I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station.

I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station. The Keyboard and mouse work great with the laptop lid open but when closed in the docking station the bluetooth signal does not seem to transmit. Is there a setting that can be changed to allow an Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to wake the computer while docked?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

IPhone 4 no longer playing music in dock

Hi,
My iPhone 4 has stopped playing music through any of my Apple docks. My friends iPhone 3 plays music through the same docks ok so the problem doesn't lie with them. My iPhone 4 charges in the dock Ok but just doesn't play music. I suspect this could be related to a recent IOS upgrade - I'm currently on 5.1
Has anyone else experienced this or know of a solution?
Thanks!

Hi hockeymom11!
So it looks like you have a couple of issues here, let me address them individually. If you have a backup in either iTunes or iCloud, you will want to apply that backup to your iPhone in order to get your contacts back. The article informing you on restoring from your backup can be found here:
iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521
As far as the songs go, you will probably want to try deleting all of the songs off of your phone and resyncing them onto your iPhone.
The car stereo issue is a little more intricate, and has a whole article to itself outlining troubleshooting steps. You can find that article right here:

Hope that helps, and thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

Can the Iphone output the phone conversation to the docked speakers like it does the rinnger when it is docked?

Can the Iphone output the conversation audio to the docking station like it does with the ringger audio?

Return the darn thing!
Why do you & we accept a phone that does not work 100%
We should be discounted the non working percentage, or simply get a new working one.
Would you accept a saucage with a rotten end, and hope they would treat it with enough chenichals to make it taste and look good?
The problem seems to me a hardware problem, and may be poor assembly. Noticed that incoming calls on my first 4s when vibrator was on, made an extra vibrating noise - i.e. loose speaker, printboard or what do I know.
This does not occur on the phone I purchased yesterday, waiting for the other at the repairshop.
Does Telenor and Apple think I will accept the repaired brand new phone?
NOT!

The iPhone 5 has full Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple Store. Show the Genius the problem and they will replace your iPhone 5 with a perfect iPhone 5 without problems. If some of iPhone 5 have this problem, it does not matter, Apple makes millions of iPhone 5, some are going to have a problem.

Since downloading ios 6 my iPhone 4 will not play itunes when docked - plays ok when not on dock. Has anyone else had this problem?

Since downloading ios 6 my iPhone 4 will not play itunes when docked - plays ok when not on dock. Has anyone else had this problem?

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

Wacky Volume on Dock issue

I have a very strange problem with my video iPod. When I set the volume to a level, and place the iPod on the dock, the volume changes (usually very dramatically, into extremely loud or extremely soft). When removed from the dock, if the volume has not been changed, the volume will revert to what it was when it was not on the dock before. This happens about 80 % of the time that I plug the iPod in. I play it while I work, but sometimes, I bump it and have to replace it. This is especially a problem at night, because the volume gets very loud when played through speakers, and has a possible chance of waking other people up. Is the iPod defective? Can I possibly fix the iPod in any way?

The new iPods appear to have a 'memory' with regard to volume set with either headphones or dock in use. They seem to 'remember' the last volume set for headphones or dock (and these can be two different volumes.) Suggestion: try 'docking' the iPod - - then, while it's in the dock, adjust the volume to what you like. I believe that next time you undock / dock the iPod, it should revert to the former 'in the dock' volume. . .

Want to restore Apple - Mac OS X icon to Dock

I accidentally dragged the Apple - OS X icon off the dock, so it went poof and disappeared. In order to put it back, I assume I just drag something to the dock, but I don't know where to find that item. How do I put it back? This is the thing that looks like an @ on top of a spring, on the right side of the divider. Thanks!

Hi Chris,
All you have to do is go to the website and then highlight the url in the address bar and drag it down to the dock and your link will reappear.
Not sure what page it linked to though - I assume this one:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/
If not, maybe somebody can correct me.

How can I restore the "Apple- OS X" link to the Dock, next to the Trash?

Okay, I'm an idiot. I was trying to drag an icon to the Trash to eject a disc on my brand new Intel DuoCore, and in the course of fumbling around with the new mouse, I managed to make the "@" link to Apple/OS-X vanish from the Dock. Since this is not an application per se, how can I put it back? (As a OS X newbie, I rather like having it there....)
Advice is greatly appreciated, as is your patience with my fumbling fingers....

Use Safari and go to www.apple.com/macosx. After the page loads, drag the URL from the address bar to the Dock and let go.

Dock Auto-Hiding always stops working

This has become very frequent. I do not know if it is conflicting with something else I have done similar to the Stuffit bug (when stuffit crashes finder on a right click every 5 clicks or so) .
My dock just simply will not re-appear. I normally go to Utilities, Activity Monitor then quit the dock process which will reload it.
Does anyone know why my dock stops working properly so often? Anyone else have a similar issue with the dock auto-hide feature stops working (it simply does not reappear on mouse over).
I use an external dell monitor, a wacom intuos 3 6x11 tablet and an e-sata express card if those addons could attribute to the problem.
Thanks in advance!

Does the problem go away without these devices connected?

Launch pad turns dock auto hide on

On my MacBook Air every time I use launch pad my dock auto hide feature gets turned on. To see my dock again I have to turn auto hide back off. Why is launch pad turning auto hide on? And how do I fix this?

In System Preferences > Dock, do you have "Automatically hide and show the dock" checked? If so, uncheck it.

Hello,after the last apdate iOS 7.1.1 my iphone has stop work with the bose dock station. why it is happens?

Natan turbo hadar,
I have the same exact problem.
I put an iPod shuffle on the Bose system, it plays just fine.
My iPhone 4s works just fine connected to my car stereo.
My iPhone 4s on the Bose will charge, it "thinks" it's playing, song shows, time line shows it's playing, can pause if I touch the phone's screen.
The remote for the Bose WILL NOT pause it, forward to next song, etc. It does work with the iPod shuffle.
So it's not the Bose, it's not connections, it's the iOS 7.1.1
Everything worked fine before, any one else have suggestions?

Can't Reset Max Volume on iPhone 4s

I recently set the Volume limit on my iPhone 4s with iOS 6 by doing the following:
Settings > Music > Volume Limit
I set the volume and locked it using a password
Now I want to change the Max Volume. When I go back to the same location:
Settings > Music > Volume Limit
I see the following:
The "Max Volume" is greyed out, and there is no option to unlock it. How am I supposed to change the "Max Volume"? Please help!

For the iPhone 4S, go to settings..general...restrictions....if it says on, tap it and enter your 4 digit passcode which will take you to the apps and options. Scroll down to allow changes on volume limit, tap it and then tap allow. Then go back to settings..music..volume limit ( you will notice it is off) tap off and you will be able to make adjustments to set the volume.
