IPod Touch 32 - weak volume

Hello iPod Touch users. Thanks for helping.
*My problem is that I only get weak volume from all media I play with the standard Apple earphones.* When I set the volume slide on the Touch to maximum, I just get medium level of sound - nice for podcasts when the room is dead quiet, but AWFUL for music! In the street, airports and on planes, the sound is even made weaker due to the ambient noise levels. At that maximum level it is useless unless used in a quiet place!!
Until this week all I have listened to has been podcasts and the weak volume has been ok until I used it at an airport lounge and on a plane.
*Today I downloaded my first music album and the same situation applies.*
*So, I went to a shop that has iPods on display to try out - the Nano I used nearly blew my brains out!!! So, I suspect I have wrong settings somewhere!!*
I went through the "preferences" and "get info" screens in iTunes (on my MacBook, running MS XP Pro) and did what the user manuals said to do - set sound to max..... blah blah....!
*SO, I ASK WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? HOW DOES ONE MAXIMISE THE VOLUME ABILITIES OF THE TOUCH? (surely it is not a weaker performer than a Touch?!).*
Thanks for your time and help.

Hi
Have you tried checking that the volume limit on your Touch is not set low?
From your home screen go Settings>Music>Volume Limit.
Now scroll that all the way to the right if it is not already and this should increase the volume for all media played through the iPod.

  • IPod touch 3 volume and date problem

    My cousin was using my iPod touch 3 when she came to visit. Now she's gone only one side of the volume works in earbuds which is the right. without earuds it sounds like the left side. Also the date and time keeps missing up. ex. my iPod touch 4 ran out battery this morning so I used my ipod touch 3. it said it was 10 minutes behind on normal time ,and that it was Jan,7 1972. It'll be fine for the next hour or less then flip back to the date.
    Any suggestions?
    ~thanks

    The iPod only has one speaker so there is no left or right.
    - Have yu tried another pair of headphones to determine if you have an iPod or headphone problem.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If still problem that indicates a problem with the iPod, likely the headphone jack is bad.

  • 1st gen iPod Touch minimum volume too high

    I have tried all the equalizer settings and sound check, this is really a problem when using in-ear headphones. Is this any different on the iPhone 4?

    Select all of your songs in iTunes, right-click > Get Info. Then go to the Options tab and you'll find a slider labeled "Volume adjustment". Bring that down how you feel fit and hit OK, then sync your iPod touch.
    Regards.

  • IPod Touch intermittent volume increase

    The volume of this ipod intermittently jumps substantially louder--for one to several seconds--before returning to the original setting.  The phenomenon is unpredictable; it occurs whether the ipod is in my hand, pocket or a stationary surface.  I'm unable to associate it to a particular environmental influence, e.g., electromagnetic interference (EMI), machinery, computer equipment, arrangement of celestial bodies.  The volume jump has not occurred while the unit is docked to a player, only when headphones are connected.  For the past several months I have been listening almost exclusively to podcasts and have no recollection of the phenomenon during music playback.
    Ideas?  Suggestions?  3rd gen iPod Touch OS 5.0.1

    All I cansugges is he sandard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • 1st Gen iPod Touch No Volume control

    The volume control in all apps and music just disappeared the other day, so I have no sound whatsoever. Didn't do anything different. The headphones are securely attached to the jack, I tried the "Reset all" option. Nada. What's next?

    Hi,
    Does "Reset All" include resetting your iPod?  Try here for resetting your iPod:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430. 
    Hope this helps!

  • IPod Touch 3G Volume Issue

    I've been trying to find information on my specific problem, and have not found anything helpful yet. My problem is not with the volume slider or buttons; rather, it's a problem with the volume itself.
    Every now and then (but becoming more frequent), my iPod's volume will suddenly change, either before I even start listening to music or while music is playing. This is always accompanied by a loud hissing that was not present before. Once this issue shows up, the volume control barely works; turning the volume to minimum turns the music down by probably about two decibels, and is still painful to listen to because it's so loud. Turning it up does affect it, but again, only barely. It does not matter which volume control I use; whether the in-music slider, the lock-screen slider, or even the volume buttons. This problem persists both with headphones and the built-in speakers.
    When I pause the music, the hissing continues for about twenty seconds, and then stops with a click/pop much like loud speakers turning off. When I restart the music, the hissing returns suddenly. This problem also applies to any sounds the iPod makes; the hissing will turn on for awhile (even if nothing is actually playing afterwards), then stop.
    I have tried restarting and resetting the iPod, to no avail. (I have a feeling a restore will not work either, but I will probably try.) Either the problem goes away on its own, or it sticks around for awhile. It pops up without warning; I could be listening to my music for hours, and then suddenly the hissing comes and the volume goes haywire. It can disappear just as suddenly.
    I have not dropped my iPod badly or spilled anything on it, and nor does this problem seem to coincide with an iOS update. But, I am willing to accept any possible solutions. Is this a hardware or a software problem? Is there anyone else who has experienced this?

    If you go through the first 3 steps below and it still does it, it's most likely hardware-related and would need servicing.

  • IPod Touch Generation 1 VOLUME!!!!!

    i bought the ipod touch when it first came out....1st Generation. And now i have recently bought the new update for it (3.0), but have discovered that the volume bar in the music app has gone, and due to the fact that there a no volume button s on the side and i don't own the new headphones..... how can i change the volume when i'm listening to music!!!
    Message was edited by: colvi

    I read somewhere in these forums that the volume bar appears when you connect the headphones and disappears when you disconnect them. You could try that.

  • Voice memo playback low volume, ipod touch 4th gen bluetooth

    After recording a voice memo on my ipod touch 4th gen.  I play it back on my bluetooth JBL flip.  Now when I playback sound levels are sometimes extremely quiet, and other times play at normal volume.  Volume on Ipod touch and JBL flip will be maxed out and still volume playback are extremely quiet.  I have tried turning off and on Ipod and not found anything work consistently at solving this issue.

    Do you have a Phone? In your case i would save some money for an iPhone. Like i am doing now - i also got a 4G iPod.
    Anyways if you really wanna go for another iPod, take the 5G now. The 5G is a big update from the 4G and Apple released it last year, so i think that the 6G will come in 2014.

  • How Can I Play All Songs On My IPod Touch at Same Volume?

    I have an IPod Touch 5th Generation which I bought this year. I also have a 4 year old  Apple IMac desktop with ITunes version  11.0.4(4).
    I have the latest version of OS Mountain Lion.
    I sync songs from ITunes on my IMac desktop to the IPod Touch. Songs play back at different volumes on the IPod Touch.
    I want them all to play at the same volume.
    Almost all of the songs in my ITunes on my IMac were downloaded from many different music websites,
    very few from the Apple Store.
    I also have an IPod Nano 5th Generation which I bought a few years ago. I copied songs from ITunes on my desktop to my IPod Nano.
    But I did not sync them. Just transferred or copied many of the songs from ITunes, without syncing.  The ITunes songs appear to play at equal volume on
    my IPod Nano but not on my IPod Touch. For Settings on my IPod Touch, I set Sound Check to On.
    Regarding ITunes Preferences (ITunes is on my desktop IMac):
    The Sound Enhancer and the Sound Check are both checked, and have been checked for a long time. Therefore all the songs
    on my IPod Touch should all be played at the same volume, shouldn't they, since they were synced from ITunes.
    Doesn't the Sound Check on ITunes control that?
    If they all play on the same volume on my ITunes, shouldn't all songs play on the same volume on my IPod Touch?
    I noticed today the Crossfade in ITunes Preferences on my IMac was not checked. I thought it had been, but maybe I accidentally unchecked it one day.
    I checked it today but was not sure what time to put on it. I put the time in the middle, which is about 6 seconds. Not sure if this is OK.
    I'd like one song to come on just about when the previous song ends. Any suggestions? (There does not seem to be a Crossfade option
    in the ITouch Music Settings). If I use Crossfade in ITunes, will it crossfade when I play the IPod Touch, since it synced the ITunes?
    Also, I have the music setting for EQ on my IPod Touch set to OFF. I assume I don't need this, but please let me know if I do.

    Settings>Music>Sound Check will HELP to normalise the volume of your music but it only averages it out.

  • My iPad 2 picks up very weak wifi signal, but my iPod touch 5 in the same spot picks up super strong signal. What can I do to change this?

    I have an iPad 2 and am iPod touch 5. Yesterday, my iPad all of the sudden did not want to pick up ANY signal at all in my house. It's like it completely give up on wifi, while my iPod and my laptop works just fine in the same spot. (I have an upstairs bedroom, while the router is downstairs in the kitchen).
    So I have been trying yesterday to get it to work so what I have done is completely wipe the memory clean after I backed it up on iTunes. After resetting it, I restored it. Still nothing. So I tried to take my iPad down nearer to the wifi router, and OMG it picked up the wifi signal! WHUT?!? It didn't yesterday though...
    But now whenever I am up in my bedroom, my iPad would not pick up the wifi at all, or if it did, the wifi would be super duper weak! But two days ago, it was PERFECTLY okay! My iPod and laptop that is sitting right next to the iPad up in my bedroom pick up the signal completely fine.
    Can someone help me? What should I do? Is it problems with my iPad or would it be my router that is the problem?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • My iPod touch has no sound when I play music or use the iPod touch at all.  Yes, the volume in the "sounds" is all the way up.  It has not been dropped or gotten wet.  I turned it off and on.  now what?

    My ipod touch (4th generation) has no sound.  I have turned it off and on.....I have the volume up in the "sounds" area.  When I push the side volume button, there is no image that appears in the screen that shows that I am either raising or lowering the volume.  Do I need to just rest the ipod touch as a new device? Or is there someting else I can try?

    And, now when I do press the side volume buttons, the image appears but with the words' "sound effects."  what does that mean?

  • The volume button on my ipod touch doesn't work unless headphones are plugged in?

    Hi there,
    So I have had this ipod for a while now but just recently it's doing this thing where i can press the side volume buttons but they don't do anything unless the earphones are plugged in.  i have reset it a number of times and had it plugged into my computer to charge it completely and nothing works.   when i go to play music on the ipod without the headphones, the slider doesn't even show up...any suggestions??

    Try restoreing the iPOd, first from backup and then to factory defaults /new iPOd if the problem persists.  If you still have the problem then you likely have a defective headphone jack. 
    In that case I would make an appointment at the Genisu Bar of an Apple store to confirm.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    A third-party place is less expensive.  Here is one, Google for more.

  • Why does my ipod touch turn down volume

    I've had my ipod touch for a long time, but since a week it has been having problems.
    Whenever I start my ipod touch, it automatically turns off the volume.
    I'm not able to put up the volume with the buttons on the side.
    Whenever I turn up the volume, it goes back down again. Except for when I hold it down.
    What do I do now?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem.
    - Reset Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    It just happen to me lately, so as I open the music while my earhones are plugged,I saw that there is no volume control on my screen but the song is still playing but I can't hear anything so I remove my earphones then I plugged it again then the volume controls show.
