IPod HIFI and MacBookPro VolumeOutput very low

Hello,
I bought tne IPod Hifi to use it in presentations as an audiooutputdevice.
I have a small mediacompany and I think that my customers have to hear the sound I made in good and "loud" quality.
So the IPod Hifi works great with the IPod. Good soundquality and loudness... but when I connect my MacBook Pro to the IPod Hifi via minijack cables, the sound is lowerd abaout 3/4. That´s very bad.... In my first presentation the guys looked very suprised.... I come with this fat and big sounddevice and the output is very low... I just expected the same amount of loudness as it puts out with the IPod... but as I told only 1/4 of the volume in comparison to the IPod came out.
So are there any sugestions? (I put the audiolevel on my macbook up at full range)
Thanks for u´r help.

I'm back now.

Ipod Hifi and I phone 3g - Charging

Hello All,
I have the ipod hifi (which I love) and an Iphone 3g which I am using as an Ipod at the moment.
But shock horror the hifi does not charge the iphone!! Pants!!!
Does anyone know anyway to correct this very annoying problem? Can you get adapters? or do I have to live with it? I was in love with apple until this point now we are not getting on.
Thanks all,

Best Way (cables) to hook up apple tv , ipod hifi and lcd tv

Hi everyone, i would like to know how is the best way to hook up those three devices, i would like the sound of the apple tv to go out from the ipod hifi with digital audio cable and the apple tv acting as the airtunes. Thank you in advance.

Your best connection to the tv will be HDMI, failing which use component.
The  ipod hifi has a 3.5 mm mini jack I believe but I don't think the tv optical doubles as a mimi jack, so I believe you would use a 3.5 mm mini jack to stereo RCA cable for the audio connection.

Bluetooth adapter for the ipod hifi and my iphone 5

is there a bluetooth adapter for the ipod hifi that will let me use my iphone 5 via bluetooth?

The lock button on my iPhone5 has also started acting up. Extremely annoying. I have to get it replaced, but I've dropped my phone once and there is a scratch on the top left corner of the phone, so I'm not sure what the warranty says about this situation.

MBP with IPod HiFi and Optical Cable Problem??

Hey guys, I just picked up a Hifi and was hoping to use it with my macbook pro. When I hook up a normal 3.5mm jack into the hifi's input it works, but when I use an optical cable it does not. Using the volume keys on my mbp bring up the normal Volume icon on-screen but there is a small circle with a line through it just below. Also, in the system preferences, under Sound and Output it says "The selected device has no output controls"
Any ideas? Can it work with optical cables? I can always use a traditional 3.5mm jack but would prefer the optical
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

It works in my case, I am now playing a song on my Itunes from my computer's optical out (G5 Tower) to iPod HiFi via a digital optical cable
Connect external speakers, headphones, or optical digital audio equipment. The headphone / line output jack accommodates optical digital audio output, analog audio output with a 24-bit, 44.1-192 kHz D/A converter, digital audio output up to 24-bit stereo and 44.1-192 kHz sampling rate and supporting encoded digital audio output (AC3 and DTS). For analog headphone / line output a standard audio cable with 3.5mm metal plug should be used. For digital audio, a standard toslink cable with a toslink mini-plug adapter can be used.
Open System Reference, sound, then output, in the box of choose a device for sound output , do you see the digital out, optical digital-out port?
Make sure out the output volume, the mute box is unchecked.
Regarding, the volume key on the computer is disable when your are using the optical output

Incoming ring and text volume very low!

hi, have recently noticed that when i lower volume level for music,video,games,other media, it also reduces my ringtone and notification volume level too! (even though the slider bar level is on max for ringtones,notifications.) so if for e.g i lower video volume on youtube etc, it takes my incoming call and text volume down too! this never use to happen and only noticed when i saw led missed call,text, flashing.try your own z3c?
settings-
sound-
volumes-
music,video,etc (on low)-
ringtone&notification(max)
ok.
now check incoming call,text volume (very low on mine) so i have to reset music,video,games etc to max to hear incoming calls,texts but i dont want max volume for music,video,,,
b.t.w I'm still on kitkat 4.4.4 but as i said the volume levels could be individually adjusted since out of box.
now strange thing is my mate has the xperia sp and i checked his yesterday and he had same issue (jellybean) and because his volume level on video,games etc is low but max on ringtone,text he too misses calls and texts! (unless of course he sets max volume on the video,games). also using volume on side of phone has no effect either.
any ideas?
cheers.

HT1339 ipod display says please wait very low battery

what can i do to restore my ipod classic?

Really
Which model of iPod do you actually have?
An iPod Classic does not use iOS 3.1.3 (as noted in your tags) or any other iOS.
If the display says "please wait, low battery" - have you charged it up?
Why do you want to Restore your iPod, whichever model it actually is?
To Restore and iPod, connect it to iTunes, look on the iPod's Summary pane and select Restore. Note that Restore will delete everything from your iPod.
iPods can be Reset, which often sorts out minor problems. How to Reset depends which iPod you have.

HT1551 Apple TV and iPad 2 very low resolution pictures - how to resolve please?

Hi
We've just bought Apple TV and it works fine with Netflix, with good resolution etc.
However resolution is really poor and blurred when using iPad 2.
What's more when iPad 2 is near the TV Netflix also goes low resolution and fuzzy. I've been having to turn the iPad off to get the Netflix resolution back again.
Is there a solution to this please?
One other quick question - I downloaded the Remote app and it seems to work, except I have a completely blank screen on the iPad (except for controls along top and bottom edges. Is this how it's supposed to be?
Thanks for advice.

I have had ATV for 6 months now and run it in AirPlay and through iTunes. I recently updated my iMac software and had the same problem. I restarted my iMac and the problem disappeared so maybe update your ATV and host system. Shut them both down/restart or reset and have another go. If it has been working fine previously then my theory is that generally the router and hardware are good enough to carry the system and it must be something you/we have done wrong. I am not a techno wizard so i hope this helps.

Why is my iPod 5th gens battery have very low performance, Why is my iPod 5th gens battery have very low performance

Dirty mid-range frequency and very low vocal

I noticed this problem after I installed and began using Bose USB speakers on my Windows XP. In my iTunes, many of the songs have staticy mid-range frequency sound and vocals are very low and difficult to hear. These songs include songs that were ripped directly from marketed CDs or downloaded from iTunes Store. My equalizer is set to Flat and messing with the equalizer didn’t help as it made the songs even more staticy. I don’t have this problem on QuickTime, Windows Media Player, Realtime, nor on iPod. Only on iTunes. I want to use iTunes since I find it more convenient and easier to use than any other players that I know.
Can this be fixed? Please help.
iTunes 7.1.1.5 Windows XP

btw, I'm using my built-in laptop speakers (Altec Lansing); so it's not a Bose thing.

Very Low Battery / Resetting issue - lets make Apple fix this!!!

There appears to be a lot of posts within the last few weeks about the "Please wait, very low battery" message and constant resets EVEN ON A FULL BATTERY. I too have begun to experience this problem. I can only think that there is some kind of bug that has been introduced with the latest firmware and itunes combo. Can anyone that it experiencing this issue, PLEASE put your experiences in a reply to this thread. As an addition to my post below, I have also heard that using the prior version to the latest Itunes in conjunction with the latest may also be the root of this problem. I have been using two itunes, the latest at home and a slightly older one at work. Can anyone shed anymore light on this possibility?
This is from a reply post I made earlier tonight:
I noticed my ipod 5th gen 60 gig was strangely in the red on battery life, so I connected it to my macbook pro and answered a few emails. I then noticed out of the corner of my eye that the ipod resetting. Weird! I had never seen it do this while attached to the computer. So, I went back into itunes and it said something about not disconnecting the device physically - some how the pod had reset and disconnected itself. So, I re-attached it, and moments later, it reset again. Instead of attaching to the computer, I attached the pod to a wall powered usb charger (non-official). After a few minutes, the pod said it was fully charged (weird), so I disconnected it. I thought I should check to see if it was playing music ok and started playing a song. It seemed ok, so I skimmed through a few tracks. Soon the ipod reset itself and started to continuously reset as if in a loop. After several reset attempts (menu and select) I was presented with a "Please wait, very low battery" message screen...
Hmmmm. I thought I should attach it to the wall charger and leave it to re-charge, thinking that the battery must be just plain out of juice. I got past the very low battery message and into the menu with a reset. Strangely, the battery showed as being fully charged... Disconnecting the pod and playing several songs again, the unit reset and showed the low battery message... Leaving the pod attached to the wall charger, even though it said it was fully charged, didn't remedy the problem. More resets when playing a song or two.
Initially I thought that it was a faulty battery. But, before I jumped to conclusions, I googled the above message. This showed me that this is a reasonably common issue with several possible causes. Some of the suggestions to remedy the issue included:
* Reset the ipod - nope, same problem
* Restore the ipod - did this first up... No go
* Put the unit into disk mode attach and restore - nope
* Drain the battery completely and then re-charge on wall charger - nope
* Open the unit, disconnect the battery, and re-attach - I really thought this would work, but nope.
* Disconnect unit, insert wall powered usb, start unit to reset it - nope
* Buy a new battery - NOPE, same thing keeps happening even with a FRESH battery!!!
* Put the unit into diagnostic mode and then charge... This kind of worked in the fact that it actually charged the new battery...
It appears to me that the battery status is all out of whack. The OS seems to think that the battery is completely full, and hence, doesn't take a charge. Equally, even though it says there is a full charge, after the unit plays one or two tracks (requiring a few harddrive seeks I suppose) it will exclaim that there is no battery remaining, reset loop and eventually enter "very low battery" mode. It does the latter even if the battery is new and appears to have been charged (via the diag screen).
So, where to from here... Well not entirely sure, but I reckon that what I have to do is drain the fully charged battery WHILE the unit is active. Perhaps then, it will re-calibrate its internal battery meter... Right now, I have been able to put the pod into disk mode and it is actually showing a battery icon WITHOUT the fully charged symbol (the little plug icon). It also shows a slight depletion in battery remaining. My hope is that this depletion will get bigger over the next few days and, if it does, it may right the funny loop-like state it is in.
Has anyone got ANY other ideas as to how to fix this problem. As a side note, I updated the pod to firmware 1.3 recently. I am considering a restore using an older firmware. Where can I track down 1.2? Can I press the option key and click restore to choose an alternative restore image from the 1.3 already in itunes?
Any suggestions/help is EXTREMELY welcome as I am almost about to give up...

I think my problem actually might be the same ... the other day it was full battery one minute, and the next it was saying "Please connect to power,low battery". I wasn't near a power source, so i just left it. Then it started making this funny whirling sound and the screen went silvery blank, so i figured it was the hard drive crashing. I hooked it up to the computer overnight and the next day I could at least get the apple on the screen to show up and the computer would recognize it somewhat. When it's hooked up to the computer it goes from the apple screen, to please wait, very low battery, to the regular screen with a fully charged battery sign, to the "do not disconnect" screen with the battery charging.. When the "do not disconnect" screen appears, sometimes the computer recognizes it. But when it comes up it first says that an unknown error (-124)has occured and the ipod cannot be synced. And then it says the disk cannot be read or written to. After I press okay again, the screen goes to the apple and back to the please wait very low battery screen... and then in tunes it says the ipod cannot be synced because the required folder cannot be found. Then it comes up again and says iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings. Now I would try to do that, but I don't have a summary tab in the preferences, if the preference tab they refer to is under the edit section. For the couple of seconds the my ipod settings appear on the screen, the files on it aren't even the same as before. It says I only have 7.78GB of only songs on my 30GB. Not only do I have more than 7.78 GB of songs normally on my ipod, I have videos and games that also should appear. Everytime it reconnects however, the GB go down? Now its at 6.07GB
It also makes this beeping sound randomly. Sometimes it when the ipod goes into the very low battery screen, but sometimes it beeps during the apple screen, or sometimes during the do not disconnect screen.
The most frustuating thing for me is that about mid-March I sent my iPod away to get a new battery before my warrantee was up. I got it back the first week of April, good turn around period, but instead of getting my old ipod back, I got a refurbished one. Now this is happening to it, and my warantee is already up. I know it can't be the battery that's wrong with it, there may be something wrong with it, but I'm sure they know better than to give me an ipod with a dead ipod.
Now it's coming up as 5.77 GB . . .
When it first happened, I was hoping that I could simply hook it up to the computer and click the restore button. This is impossible however because I can never get to the restore button before the computer unrecognizes my ipod.

Ipod not recognize by iPod Hifi, neither by Bose Sound dock... seems ok

Hi, I'm facing a strange pb with my iPod 5th gen late 2006. It works very well with iTunes and in my car (on a Dension system), but my iPod Hi-Fi did not recognize the ipod, neither a Bose Sound dockstation. I also check with an iPod Hifi at a mac reseller, but it still didn't work.
It doesn't seems to be a hardware pb because the iPod works well on my card (dock connector) and with my Mac (connected with a usb cable).
I wonder what is wrong with my ipod. Oh, I also have an iPod Touch that works very well on both the iPod hifi and the Bose station..
Any help will be appreciated (i already have tried to reset/restore settings...)
ipod firmware :1.3

Hum... I just found that post : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10224759&#10224759
Seems a firewire/usb issue... may be not the same... In my case the ipod 5th gen late 2006 won't chare n apple Hifi and BoseSoundDock AND it will not play music!
But I will give a try with a power adaptor, mayb the sound is not started because the device did not recognize my pod because of a charge problem..

IPod Hifi as Home Cinema Speakers!! Opinion anyone ?

Ok theres no surround sound option but I wanted to do a quick test with a new LCD projector I bought. I hooked it up to a DVD and then the sound went straight from the DVD player to the input socket on the back of the iPod HIFI and to be honest I was listening to it and thinking **** this is really good sound!! now I'm the first to admit that I am obviously not a complete freak when it comes to sound and as long as it sounds okay to me then thats all that matters. I just wanted to hear other peoples views on using the iPod Hifi as a home cinema solution (minus the surround sound part!!!)

Starfrog, I think you've answered your own question already. You tried it, liked it, and profess not to be a sound freak, so stick with it. you could have hundreds of purists tell you it's no good, but at the end of the day, it works for you and that's all that matters.
The sound is great, I love mine and am glad to finally be rid of the tiny, tinny little stopgaps that preceded this unit - but I wont be replacing my home theater speaker setup with the HiFi.

Very low audio quality after amber update

After installing amber update audio quality and volume has dropped significantly! Volume through speakers is alot lower, and when plugged into headphones audio lacks quality and depth. There is barely any bass and volume is very low, sounds like listening to a clock radio very disappointing, as audio quality on my 920 was very very good the best of any phone so far before amber update!

i haven't noticed that with my 920. have you tried performing a soft reset and also check that you are up to date with all the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store?
