ITunes 7.1 changed volume controlling

Since updating to 7.1 my key board on the iMac no longer controls the volume. I have to go to Sys Pref Sound to adjust or of course the volume on the Menu Bar.
I have a couple of sound outputs, blue tooth head set, iMic USB, plus the Line Out built in Audio. This last one is the one selected and in the past I have had absolutely no problems in controlling them from the key board (not the BT, never tried).
It is like 7.1 has taken control over everything even when iTunes is shut. I may have missed something but this is a new one on me.

Well the update MacOSXUpd10.4.8PPCPatch.pkg just brought it all back to normal. I wasn't nuts after all.
Thanks apple team

  • How To Change Volume Control Shortcut 4 iTunes, since Spaces has taken it?

    I'm running Leopard on my Macbook and have been using iTunes for years, especially when i got back Airport Express a few months ago. I use the volume keyboard shortcut, "Apple Button and Page ^"
    But now that Spaces is on my Leopard/Macbook, that shortcut has been reserved for Spaces. I don't wish to change that cause i like it better for spaces, but how do i go about changing the setting of controling the iTunes volume?

    Help?
    I could really use some help on this.

  • Where is the remote volume control in the new ITUNES - I cant adjust my volume control remotely on my Zepplin Air anymore

    Hi I have downloaded the new itunes 12.01 - since then I have had nothing but trouble with my Zepplin Air. Now I cant remotely change the volume control on it, only being able to change it on my connect

    I did try that too (was already turned on). It seems like this is a big step backwards, since even if control center worked in YouTube, it requires stopping the video, opening the control center, closing it, and restarting the video. Very counterproductive to simply restoring a volume slider on the basic You Tube controller, next to the timeline slider. Again, I appreciate the help. For now, I can use the buttons on the side of the iPad (not as convenient), and hope  a newer version of You Tube will restore volume controls that work in next upgrade.

  • How to restore the volume control while playing music in iTunes

    How do I recover the volume control (slider at the bottom of the screen) in iTunes when playing music? After I plugged the device into an iHome speaker, the volume control dissappeared.

    generdude,
    Not that I know of, but you can turn it off completely by going to System Preferences...>Sound>Sound Effects>Alert volume: (Uncheck) Play feedback when volume is changed.

  • ITunes volume control issue?

    Ever since I updated my Mac to iTunes 8.2.1 I've noticed that the volume control in iTunes is fixed on about 40% volume. I can drag the control up or down and it changes the volume but it snaps back to where it was when I let go. I can still change the volume on my Mac but it won't go as loud as it could. Any ideas?

    Hey tvas22,
    I will do my best to assist you  in the hopes of resolving the issue with the sound button. The steps that I would start of with first, would be to do a hard reset. I have included the document Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset.
    If you are still experiencing the same issue, I would set the communication level to do nothing in the Playback devices option. I have included the steps below for you to follow.
    1. Right click on the Sound icon in the System Tray
    2. Click on Playback devices
    3. Click on Communications
    4. Click on Do nothing
    5. Click Apply, and close the Window
    The next step to do if you are still experiencing the same issue, would be to perform a clean boot on your Split. I have included the document Using Microsoft System Configuration (Windows 8). See if following these steps you are still experiencing the issue.
    Please let me know the outcome of these troubleshooting steps.
    Best of Luck!
    I worked on behalf of HP

  • ITunes volume control script

    With the included scripts in Mainstage, I was surprised not to find one for controlling iTunes volume.
    This would allow me to mix the iTunes volume from the Axiom 61 sliders while in Mainstage fullscreen.
    Does anyone know of an AppleScript for this purpose?
    Thanks in advance

    Well, I hope someone can find a solution to my issue. (itunes sound volume using sliders)
    Thanks for your input guys.
    My knowledge of Applescript is very basic, however, I did find a script for changing the itunes sound volume using buttons.
    One button increases and the next button decreases the sound volume a little bit at a time.
    Here are the scripts. I modified one I found online. There may be some unnecessary lines.
    on action(parameter)
    tell application "iTunes"
    if the sound volume is less than 95 then
    set sound volume to (sound volume + 5)
    else
    set sound volume to 0
    end if
    end tell
    end action
    and to decrease use the one below.
    on action(parameter)
    tell application "iTunes"
    if the sound volume is greater than 5 then
    set sound volume to (sound volume - 5)
    else
    set sound volume to 0
    end if
    end tell
    end action
    A script for changing the itunes sound volume in Mainstage using a slider from my Axiom 61 is still what I'm after.
    Anybody??

  • ITunes disables my Windows sounds and takes away the volume control

    I have searched and found no answer to this- others have posted this same question.
    I installed itunes and it removed my volume control from the task bar. It disabled my Windows sounds and took away the volume control from the System Tray next to clock. My media buttons no longer affect the volume either. I have to go into control panel to change my system volume.
    At first- it only happened when my daughter would plug in her iPod and use iTunes, and then after we'd reboot the computer, the volume control would come back and no longer be disabled. Each time she used iTunes, it would happen again. Then a computer restart would bring it back. Now all of a sudden, nothing brings it back. I have to go about 4-5 screens deep into Control Panel to adjust the volume there. This is ridiculous and an absolutely unacceptable side effect of iTunes.
    Does someone have an answer or do we need to delete iTunes and never again buy a crappy apple product?

    Figured it out!
    Go to Control Panel -> Sound
    In the “Playback” tab, click on your Speakers to highlight it, then click Properties. In the “Advanced” tab, under “Exclusive Mode”, uncheck the box that says “Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device”. I restarted my computer after that, but I am not sure if you need to.
    Then you can go to your taskbar and right-click and choose “Properties”. In the “Notification Area” tab, under System icons, “Volume” is no longer grayed out and you can now check the box to make it show up down near your clock again.

  • How to use itunes volume control in mainstage

    Hi everyone!
    I want use itunes volume control in mainstage (by slider or something). Can someone help me?

    You would need to write an Applescript (there are some already under Parameter Mapping>Actions>Applescript). Check online at "dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/eqandvolume.php" for some scripts for changing iTunes volume. You will need to put the Applescript in the same folder the other Mainstage Applescripts are in (drive>Library>Application Support>Logic>Mainstage Scripts). I haven't tried this myself, but why not give it a go?

  • I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

    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, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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. 
    There will be no audio output in safe mode. The question to be answered by the test is whether any devices are listed in the Sound preference pane. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Can i change the step of volume control?

    I have a problem with my ipod, when i adjust volume of different tracks. I can get preferable to my ears volume level. It sounds too loudly or too quietly. Am i able to set manually the step of the volume changing?
    I'm not interesting in the normalize function of itunes.
    Thanks.

    Well.. You can always right-click the song you know is too loud or too quiet (in iTunes ofc)
    and then press Show Info and under the tab alternative you get volume controls for that specific song.

  • Option to disable iTunes volume control for remote speakers?

    I have noticed that with iTunes 10, the option to disable the volume control for remote speakers seems to have disappeared from Preferences>Devices. If you click the "?" button, the help window gives an explanation of what its for but the option to check/uncheck it clearly isn't there. Since iTunes 10, streaming my music from my iMac to my Denon receiver via Airtunes/Airplay with an Airport Express has been disappointing. The volume is far too low. With version 9 and every version prior, the volume control option was always there in preferences and I always had it disabled; music came through loud and clear but since this option appears to no longer exist, the volume through the Denon receiver fails to impress, even with the iTunes volume slider at max.
    Anyone else noticed steaming volume too low? If so, agree that it's a bug?
    Message was edited by: Brian I.

    I wholeheartedly agree with "I also used to disable the volume control to reduce the amount that my computer interferes with the sound before it gets to the external DAC." There is no reason why Apple shouldn't restore this important setting option as the volume control does negatively affect sound quality in a high-end set-up and we'd rather not just take their word for it that the volume control's maximum setting is the same as disabling it. Why does the volume slider change the output level even when using the Airport Express' digital output? It shouldn't, and it seems the sound is now being force sent through a stupid digital volume control for no good reason. If for no other reason the "disable" option should be restored to avoid inadvertent volume changes via the Remote app for iPod Touch and iPhone. Strangely as compared to several other posts here, my perceived volume level now seems louder than before, not softer as others are reporting. People that are serious about sound quality do not want iTunes or AirPlay (formerly AirTunes) to manipulate the volume level or any other aspect of the sound at all ever, as it can't help but only hurt. I also thought the "disable" setting was available in the Airport Utility previously, but it's vanished from there too.

  • Can I change the volume for watching movies? I have my volume control on my iPad 2 at max

    My iTunes downloaded movies is less than max.  It makes it hard to listen in place like an airplane.  I can change the volume for my music and it plays very loud.  The volume control on my iPad2 is max.

    If these are purchase movies and not rentals, from iTunes, on your computer, you can select the movie in iTunes, use the key combination command-I to get the info on the movie. A info window pops up. Click the Options tab, a volume slider appears at the top of the window, slide the slider all the way to the the right, click the OK button at the bottom of the window. Then reconnect and sync your iPad, again, to the computer and wait for the movie to update to your iPad, then once everything is complete, eject the iPad from the left hand pane and disconnect. When you play the movie, again, from the iPad, the volume should be louder.
    I do not believe you can do this with rented iTunes movies, though as I do not think they are editable as a rental.

  • Volume control buttons don't work for iTunes in speaker mode

    Using onboard speakers (no headset on my iPhone 4S, the speaker buttons are not working.  In fact the slider ICON in missing in playing music as well as the ringer ICON that comes up when I press the buttons.
    I can go into settings, Sounds and manually move the slider for Ringer and Alerts, with "Change with Buttons" set "on, I can then press the volumn buttons on the side and see the slider move up and down (right and left).  But as soon as I leave that screen and press either volumn up or down on the side, the Ringer ICON comes up but the slider part is gone.
    In this case, there is no sound out of the speakers.  However "Siri" works fine.
    And in phone mode, I can use speakerphone and hear audio out of the speakers.  (In fact in phone mode, speakers or headset works fine).
    All other apps the speakers are inop and the volum control buttons are inop.
    It's like it's in perminent "mute".

    I got out my air compressor and literally blew the S* out of the docking port.  I did dock the iPhone to my car dock port as a test, played music through the car.  Then undocked and the volume control and speaker sounds all restored.
    Not 100% it was cleaning the docking port or that I unwedged the software by docking into some different device.

  • HT5922 Volume control Itunes Shared Library from Macbook air played through iPad

    Hi everyone,
    I am using iPad Air to airplay through use of iTunes shared library from Macbook, to Play to my Apple TV using the Remote App from apple on the iPad.
    I noticed that the swipe up control screen volume control does not affect the volume on my speakers of the Denon which is perfectly connected with apple tv. The only thing which controls the volume is the Denon volume control.
    The iTunes  volume control on the Macbook also do not work with Apple TV when airplaying
    I assume this is because of the Denon Reciever, but would like to hear if others who are connecting directly without a multimedia amplifier and speakers are also unable to raise volume using itunes control or not?
    Thans in advance for any feedback given.

    I think this may be a clue to the problem. When you purchased the MBA did you restore any of your personal data from a prior backup? In particular, did you restore any prior data in the Music folder?
    Or, did you simply launch iTunes and enable iTunes Match?
