ITouch not recognising headphones(no volume slide bar)

hi I have an ipod touch 32GB 1st Gen running OS 3.1.3
and recently a new problem has arisen.
when my headpones are plugged in, they play very quietly and I have no option of adjusting the volume, slide bar just isn't there.
I have tried various headphones, and the ones I use with my ipod I tried on my laptop and they work fine.
this has been happening for about 2 weeks now, and sometimes after resetting my ipod (holding lock and menu button at the same time) it makes it work but very raerly, and sometimes after disconnecting and re plugging in the headphones the slide bar appears, however nearly always asoon as I stop using the ipod and then go to use it again the problem returns.
and now for past 2 days I've been unable to get the slide bar up at all.
Anyone know ways to fix it.
also if it's not possible to fix from home, would I be able to get it repaired by apple despite I do not have warranty for it (bought it second hand off ebay)
thank you

After upgrade to iOS8, very slow, no volume slider bar, no volume through the iPad although the headphones work. My volume slider bar now reads"Sound Effects"?? Mute is off, need help. So frustrated!

I need help! After upgrading to iOS8.1.2 , my volume slider bar disappeared and is now "Sound Effects" ??? I have no external sound. Do have sound through headphones. Mute is off. Have tried resetting several times with no luck. Frustration level is building as I have wasted hours now on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I do not think apple will do much to help you under warrenty, as this was caused by a fall. (alas!)
I think the case is, as you suggest, jamming the rocker down, and it may have damaged the swith itself. Can you carefully lever it out of the way? Very very carefully. If it is already broken, there is not much harm you can do by trying.
If it is just the switch being jammed, you might be able to move it out a little. If it is the swith itself, you will need some real service after your three hour drive. You might check your loacl area for a closer service repair source.

Volume slider bar has changed appearance

My volume slider bar has disappeared & in it's place I have a series of dots. Anybody have any ideas?

See if this helps: iPod "stuck" on the artwork or rating screen

MISSING VOLUME SLIDER BAR SOLVED!!!

I have found the culprit! It has taken me a very long time to figure it out what it was but it has finally been found. The volume slider disappears when playing music or watching videos but otherwise works.
The problem is the 32pin connector. If you don't believe me take your phone and place a hard plastic card of some sort (creditcard, school I.D) and place it underneath the 32pin connector. Look at your volume slider and it should appear! You must get your 32pin connector replaced.

I wouldn't go as fr as getting a new iPod yet. Take it into a genius bar and see what they say. I got my old iPod nano that got sent through the wash replaced for around $50. I don't promise anything.

Volume slider bar missing from side of my itouch

I have a itouch 3G and I cracked the screen a couple of months ago. I know that my 1 year warranty does not cover cracked screens, so I did not do nothing about it because it was just a crack on right corner of the screen and I checked everything else and I saw no other damage. Just the other day I was listening to my itouch and when I was changing the volume of my music using the volume bar on the side of my itouch I saw that part of my volume bar was crack and fell out of the ipod. Well since that happen the rest fell of the volume bar fell out and I have no volume bar on the side anymore.Is my warrenty still good to get that fixed or am I better off saving up and buying a new ipod?

ITouch not recognizing headphones?

I've had my 8GB itouch for about a year and a half now and in that year I've run through quite a few pairs of headphones. Usually I just assume I've burned them out and buy another pair, but recently another pair of good quality died on me ,audio always goes dead in the left bud, after only a month. Because of the holiday season I asked to use my Father's extra earphones to avoid the store and was surprised to learn that his were broken exactly like mine as well. My dad took them back, told me they worked fine with his ipod, and I tested them with my computer, they worked perfectly until I tried to plug them into my itouch where they went dead in the left ear again.
I'm wondering if something is wrong with my itouch and if there is a solution that doesn't involve warranty service, mine has run out,or if it's just a fluke and the headphones are to blame.
Thanks in advance.

I'm this close to throwing this faulty thing against the wall...
Tell us how that works for you.
No, really, I'm with Anna on this: your post is unclear and you are being impatient.
When I waited 2 hours for it to finish, it would register my touches.
I read this to be saying, your iPod touch (not a iTouch, which is an Italian iPhone knockoff) sat there for 2 hours saying it was trying to move your music to your iPod. That is way, way, way too long. Even filling the entire 32G -- if you had that much in songs, videos, games, etc. -- would not take that long. So, something is not right.
I think your XP machine does see your iPod; when you plug it in it starts iTunes, or when you start iTunes it sees the iPod. Is this true?
Try everything it says to do here: iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant. Try each thing it tells you to do. Then report back here.

Ringer volume slider bar keeps turning on, how do i disable it while I'm taking pictures.

I have gone in and tried to set all to vibrate, but still the ringer volume keeps coming up and the volume bar shoots all the way to high
it diong wrong, I keep missing those Kodak moments, waiting for it to clear from the LCD when in the camera mode.

I believe I found the problem, an app I have for a radio station, I just noticed the volume was all the way up.
I turned it down. right after I posted this I clicked on "More like this" off to the right, and believe I got what I needed as for an answer. Thanks to Rat_boy's Question and Bryan_Mick's knowledge.if this all it took, then ill be a happy camper for the eclipse tomorrow. Thanks Again Bryan

Volume slider is not available

Only with my headphone I can hear music (i.e. youtube) on my iPad 2. If I remove my headphone the volume slider disappears and no sound is available. Who knows a solution?

Yea I hear you or maybe not!
I have a big problem with my Jabra headset.
It pays music from iPhone, but I can only turn the volume done so far and that's annoying as all get out. Plus it wont answer any phone calls. It work yesterday before I up graded to 3.0. Of course the stereo didn't work. Now the the stereo works, but no phone operation? Plus the volume thing is very load! Next track doesn't work either.
Well I was almost there with my iPhone. Still no wallpaper at the home screen, but we are getting there. now if I can get my headset to work I can live with the other missing parts.

Volume Mixer Slide Bar Controls display on screen and interfere with internet and other functions.

Without warning Volume Slide Bar Controls will display on my screen fluctuating levels like I was changing the volume/bass/treble level. This stops/blocks whatever I'm doing on the the notebook such as typing, internet, turns on my "wireless" connection, turns on the volume mixers (I keep it turned off), and stops my typing. This will go on for varying lengths of time, and then all goes back to normal. It happens on or off the internet, wireless or wired.

I have an I phone 4 and since I upgrade to the lastest ios 6.1.3 , my volume slider is missing. The sound works when but I can't mute or turn up or turn down the volume. I've tried a hard reset , reboot, blowing air in the dock and earrplug jack. :-(

I tried almost evrything to restore my volume slider( + & - ). My phone rings, plays music and every other sound but I can't mute or put the volume up r down with the side buttons.. My volume slider bar is missing. This is only simce I upgraded to iso 6.1.3 .. What's with that?? I figured out how to manually mute the phone through (General, Accessibitily) by muting the bell for sound and unmuting the bell for silent mode. But what a freaken pain, when you have to take all those extra steps to turn your volume up or down or mute your Iphone??
We have no Apple Store here so no luck to bring it in to get looked at.. Please , does anyone out there know what else I coold do???
Cheers

Does it work with headphones plugged in? That is typically the culprit, the device mistakenly believes that a pair of headphones are plugged in.

I did something that changed my viewing screen and cannot correct it. It ssems that my screen is too big for the monitor. Ihave a lot of blank space on the left side and cannot view my side slide bar on the right side-how can i adjust the screen

the viewing screen is off center -govong blanck space to the left and not allowing me see the slide bar on right

Why apple is not adding tweaks like activator,volume slider in multitasking bar and a blacklist app

Why apple is not adding tweaks like activator,volume slider in multitasking bar and a blacklist app?

But quantity is not everything.
Funny, because Windows proponents and users touted the quantity of apps available with that swiss cheese for security OS being "everything" or a big plus, but now say it isn't everything with iOS. Can't have it both ways.
At present there are about SIX blacklist apps in the OFFICIAL Apple Store which I can buy for MONEY but have NO USE AT ALL because of the APIs restrictions.
3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone APIs for security reasons. Andrioid is following the same path as Windows. Their so called "open" OS is a swiss cheese for security mobile OS.
If this isn't acceptable to you or having an option to block unwanted calls provided by the iPhone's OS is a very important want or need, stick with an Android or Symbian device that includes the option.
