Ipod Touch Volume control's decreasing by itself

Ive just started to have a problem where the volume decreases right down to zero, when i try and slide it up it simply slides all teh wya back down! help please!!!!!!!!!!

Odd problems like this are often resolved by Resetting or Restoring (which erases the Touch and puts the OS back on). If that doesn't fix it, try Restoring again but do not re-load your last backup (i.e. set it up as a new iPod).

  • 1st Gen IPod Touch Volume Controls won't come up after a few minutes

    I've got a first gen IPod touch and ever since I upgraded to the OS 3 family I've had a problem where after a few minutes of playing a video, if I tap the screen to bring up the volume controls, nothing happens. If I tap the screen in the first few minutes, the controls come up fine but after a few minutes a screen tap does nothing. Returning to the home screen and re-launching the video player didn't work either. I was turning the unit off and back on to correct the problem but after reading that a new "feature" of OS 3 pertained to volume control and headphone detection I tried a new tactic. When the volume controls would not display, I unplugged my headphones (the video paused when I did this) and plugged the headphones back in and the volume controls display auto-magically and would appear on with a screen tap for a few minutes then I was back in the same situation. Is there anyway a setting could be created to disable headphone detection and the "features" that it brings? The headphones work fine when the volume controls won't display so it doesn't feel like a headphone problem. Thanks.

  • My iPod touch 4th generation turns off by itself. How can I fix this?

    My iPod Touch 4th generation turns off my itself. How can I fix this? This is not the first time this has happened. I usually hold down the home button and the power button at the same time for a few seconds and it'll turn back on but this time that won't work. What should I do?

    Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPod On...

  • ITouch 1st gen OS 3.1.2 - missing touch volume control

    Does anyone know if apple has made it possible to upgrade the 1st gen iTouch to OS 3.1.2 without losing the volume controls? I have read some people saying that they are missing volume controls and others just forgot to plug in their headphones. Does the iTouch volume control work on a 1st gen? I really hope that I don't have to upgrade hardware to get the new OS. Any help would be appreciated. Also, is it possible to downgrade firmware to a version that supports touch volume, if it's necessary?

    I tried restarting my iPod Touch by holding down the top button until it gives the option to power off. This didn't seem to help, as there was still "no volume available", however, when I moved the iPod Touch from the dock and plugged the jack directly into the port, the volume control reappeared immediately, and when I moved it back to the dock, it stayed present and is still there now. Earlier today, when I used my headphones, there was also "no volume available", so perhaps power cycling did help?

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen shut down by itself, and will not turn back on?

    I was just on the YouTube app when suddenly my iPod shut itself down, and the battery was well over 50%.
    It will not turn back on, and when I plug it into the charger, nothing changes. Any suggestions?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My new (8/2012) iPod Touch: voice control suddenly activates on its own. Is there a reason for this and how do you get it to stop?

    For reasons unknown to me, my brand new ipod touch keeps activating Voice Control. I am not pressing the home button or touching any controls. I can be doing nothing with it and it just kicks on, sometimes interrupting what is already going on (like listening to an audio book in the Audible app. Is there a reason for this and how do I stop it?

    Press the Home Button 3 Times... then goto  >  Settings > General > Accessibility > Voice Over > Off
    Next... Try this...
    Close All Open Apps and Perform a Reset...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )

  • Ipod touch to control idvd-front row?

    Hi everybody:
    Is there a way to have my Ipod touch control iDVD and Frontrow, I bought an early 09 imac and it didn't come with the remote.
    thanks
    Mike

    hey there Buffdaddy,
    try searching the App store. there's over 25,000 available & surely someone has come up w/ a way to do what you want. check out Electronic House on line, they have lots of info for home theatre "geeky" stuff. also check out AVS Forum's Mac HTPC Chat.
    for starters, see this: http://www.electronichouse.com/article/7iphone_apps_for_your_hometheater/
    what i've done is move iTunes media to a 500GB ext. FW HDD & ripped a bunch of my favorite DVDs & made them iPod compatible & play them back in iTunes(Full screen) to my 42" Sony HDTV from my 17" iMac CD, it also acts a server so i can also stream to my MacBook over the AEBS(n) network.
    i've also seen the Apple remotes on eBay for $6.00-$10.00. or @ Best Buy & Apple for $19.00.
    good luck.

  • IPod Touch Voice Control?

    Does the iPod Touch OS 3.0 support voice control (an app that comes with iPhone OS 3.0)?

    Yes, but you need to buy a compatible headphones, such as the "Apple Headphones" in the Apple Store. They are $30, but also come with a built-in controller. I bought them, and love them, but unfortunately they are lost in the blackhole known as my room.
    EDIT: Oh happy day, oh happy day! I just found my headphones behind my giant shelf! Hooray!

  • G560 Feather Touch Volume Control Problem

    I have this laptop Lenovo G560 and the volume control option in the right to hand corner which has 4 buttons blinks itself and the volume controls automatically goes up and down and itself gets mutted again.
    I am tired of this so I want to disable those commands of volume up and down and mute option.
    I heard there is some kind of registry edit option.
    Can someone help me in this?

    No yet dear, but I have figured out one thing and that is when the laptop gets heaten up it starts blinking.
    When you are in a AC room and the laptops temperature is normal at that time its perfect but when I bring it outside it starts blinking again.

  • Ipod Touch Parental Controls?

    I'm not usually fussy about these things, but too often I've found my boy (14 yrs) sleeping with his iPod Touch dialed into a toe-curling, hair-raising **** site. I'd like to say he's adept at covering his tracks, but I must say that Safari on the Touch makes it downright easy: I can't check his browsing history, I can't view his cookies, and I certainly can't set controls to keep him away from explicit sites (my last resort, mind you). So: two questions. First, previous threads on this topic have promised parental controls in 2.0 updates. Are they available? Are there any apps in the store (I checked and found nothing) that might help? Second, can cookies be viewed on Safari on the Touch?

    as above 2. does offer it albeit pretty much a "blanket" restriction. Instructions below.
    Set restrictions:
    1 Choose General > Restrictions, then tap Enable Restrictions.
    2 Enter a four-digit passcode.
    3 Reenter the passcode.
    4 Set the restrictions you want by tapping individual controls on or off. By default, all
    controls are on (not restricted). Tap an item to turn it off and restrict its use.
    Turn off all restrictions: Choose General > Restrictions, then enter the passcode. Tap
    Disable Restrictions, then reenter the passcode.
    NOTE:If you forget your passcode, you must restore your iPod touch software from iTunes.
    See “Updating and Restoring iPod touch Software” on page 110.

  • Ipod Touch (2nd Generation) freezes and locks itself during game play.

    While playing Diner Dash on my Ipod Touch 2G as the game action intensifies the machine locks itself and/or slows to the point that I have to wait several seconds for the processor to catch up.  This makes it very hard if not impossible to play the game.  The symptoms seem to mostly happen in games such as Diner Dash or Bejeweled.  Sometimes the same symptoms will happen in other apps as well.  They seem to get worse as the processor load increases.  I have the latest version of itunes installed as well as the latest OS update (4.something) as of 7/13/2011.  I have tried restoring the machine, uninstalling and reinstalling various apps, and turning off anything that would burden the processor and memory.  Nothing has helped much.  The machine has been buggy like this since it was new.  We sent it into Apple and they said nothing was wrong with it.  Also, there is no damage or abuse involved.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Put it in a baggie and completly cover it with rice. leave it there for a week+ and it should work.
